Losing body fat can be a simple process, if you know what to do. I can show you the best and fastest way to lose 5 lbs of body fat - ruclips.net/video/8bshv_9HWw4/видео.html
Is there a percentage you would recommend staying within for fat? I know you don’t track things but I do as it works for me, So knowing a rough percentage would be helpful.
50-35-15 Carbs -protein- fat.. I use that as a general guide always can make adjustments .. And remember it matters the quality of carbs protein and fat your digesting.. Hope it helps
Yeah. It’s not rocket science. Eat clean. Be in a calorie deficit. I did a 1700 calorie a day diet. With my weight in protein daily. Consistent workout routine. 260 to 180 in 9 months.
Wife: he’s probably thinking about other women Jeff: I carried the shopping bag with my right arm, now I need to go back and buy some stuff and carry it with my left arm to avoid muscle imbalance Edit:My reply comment section involves people arguing over if my comments underrated or not, and they literally had a aggressive argument pretty sure that’s more funny then my comment
@@km3946 dude.... My point is that you can't call something underrated in the first hour from posting, it just doesn't make sense. It's like calking a movie or new song underrated after a day or 2. We are now clear, aren't we?
No, bro, you're doing it all wrong!!! You're supposed to shock your body by going to the gym once a month in order to slowly walk on a treadmill while eating pizza and tootsie rolls!!!
A man that chases our success before his own. He knows that giving honest information will keep people coming back better than "cheap hacks and fitness secrets" will. Which isn't a bad thing. With his way everyone can win.

When I started lifting regularly, I found inconsistencies in my energy and lift. I had to develop a routine for what I ate and when. After lifting heavy, I also felt like crap for a long time until I ate rice. I was taking in a lot of protein, but not enough quality carbs - rice has really hit the spot. If I eat rice one to two hours before lifting, I get maximum energy at the gym, and quick recovery afterwards. Rice is key for me.
SUPRISE! I am the funniest YTer evah!!!! Just kidding, it was no surprise. Everybody knew already. HAHAHHAHA!!!! That was an amazing joke (it was real talk though). WAWAWAWAWA!!!! Good afternoon, dear daniel
I ate lower carb for a whole year (not KETO), lost weight and muscle despite working out (HIIT, weight lifting). Then the binge eating came out of nowhere, thousands and thousands of calories a day. I put on 20pounds in 3-4 months. Tried IF to get rid of the need to binge, tried OMAD, tried low carb, lowered calories. Nothing worked to get rid of the binging and the cravings, and my body started to hold on to every ounce of new body fat for dear life. Only after I started to eat higher carb/lower fat did the binging/cravings suddenly stop and the weight started to shift again. I now eat a bowl of wholegrain pasta every night. I think you're right that we need to discern between the various types of carbs, cut out the treats, and not deprive yourself of carbs. Maybe low-carb/KETO works for some people, but not for all.
Late 50's, 5' 10", 175lbs, about 18% body fat, pretty muscular, pretty lean. Eating spaghetti with a ton of sauce at work. The circle guy looks at me and asks is it wise to eat so many carbs. Before I could answer, I heard someone else in the background say, Look at him. Looks to me like he's doing something right! :)
@Bernd DasBrot The video is about eating carbs. Telling people to not fear carbs. This discussion is about the same thing. My comment was in the vein of the conversation...that is, one CAN eat carbs and not think they're going to make you fat. Nowhere in my comment did I say anything about how frequently I eat pasta, and nowhere was I suggesting it was 'healthy'. But thanks for cherry picking a comment and twisting it to fit your perspective.
Also I want to add here for the people who wants to loose weight. Get comfortable not feeling full all the time. A lot of people confuse not feeling full with hunger. I know because I felt like that too. You should be eating enough but you should not be eating until you are full all the time. I know it's hard but if you condition yourself like this long enough your body and mind will adapt to it. And good luck for all mu fellow lifters. 👍
Taking your time helps immensely. I always make it a point to eat slowly and give myself time to feel satiated. I see so many people shoveling food down as fast as they can instead of just slowly eating until they're satisfied. You can eat 2 pieces of pizza in 15 minutes or 6 pieces in 15 minutes. In 30 minutes you either won't be hungry or you feel like hell 'cause you're stuffed.
That is perfect common sense. If we eat as we are designed to eat and only eat nutritious meals in portions that sustain life and not eat all kinds of crap until you’re full or beyond full your body will respond accordingly.
Keto diets are good for persons trying to reverse insulin resistance which caused their obese or overweight state. If you are not insulin resistant, have a adequate muscle to body fat ratio, excercise regularly, know your portion sizes. Eating carbs is not a problem. Even those who reverse their insulin resistance can return to eating carbs once they understand the science of food. And like you said their are different types of carbs.
Greetings from Slovakia. Jeff, as many other people around the world I really admire you. I´ve been watching your videos since 2011 and I wish one day I will look so good like you. On your appeal to let you know which topics we want you to cover here are my suggestions: 1. Can you do a video especially on type I and type II muscle fibres? How to focus on them, their ratio in each body parts, etc. 2. Thank to your advice we know that the leg extensions are a bad exercise. What is your opinion on legpress or hack squats? Are they a bad options, especially because of the pressure on spine? 3. In a 2015 video Quick shoulder mobility drill you used a resistance band and during this drill your arms were travelling behind your body almost to your glutes. Isn´t it a risky position for shoulders? 4. Hamstring stretch: anterior pelvic tilt vs. butt wink 5. Joint nutrition (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM): real effects, benefits, dosing. 6. Tribulus, glutamine, carnitine. Do they really have some benefits or are they just waste of money? 7. Pros and contras of drinking plain water (chlorine, minerals)? 8. You showed us how to take dumbbells prior to doing flat benchpress. But what is the safest way for taking them before doing benchpress on negative bench with head down and then put them back on ground? 9. What is the best shoe option for wearing in the gym: sneakers, powerlifting shoes, bare foot? 10. We already know how to sleep in the right way. But what body position do you prefer while watching TV? And last, but not least: Is there any way to get your autograph? Seriously. (And maybe Jesse´s as well.)
I am Type 2 diabetic and carbs spike my glucose levels. I have to limit carbs if I want my blood glucose levels lower. Eating a high protein, low carb diet has worked wonderfully. Eating carbs last at a meal is a great way to help keep glucose levels low like Jeff suggested. In fact, when I eat carbs last at a meal my glucose levels don't spike as high.
I personally appreciate this video. As someone who largely eats a ketogenic diet, this is a strategic move that I make as it fits the various goals that I am after. I applaud you for doing this video in a respectful manner. Hope all is well, Jeff. Keep on rocking!
The average American is obese and is going to die due to high carb intake. the low carb diet is not at all about maintaining a lifestyle of low carbs. it's about reversing your diet long enough to let your kidneys, liver, and pancreas all get into a healthy enough condition to function properly again. 6 months of no carbs should do that to most people. After 6 months of keto, I can now drink milk and have the same effect of an energy drink due to the sugars.
Both of these men ROCK! Though, I'm giving the nutritional edge to Thomas! I'm biased. I've personally experienced the healthy effects and sustainable approach of eating a low/lower carb diet. I'm glad Thomas chimed in. You guys should do a video together discussing these matters in greater length.
Wow nice to see thomas commenting. Thomas I lean more to your style of eating. No pun intended. I have lost 80 lbs keto,fasting with no working out. I follow Jeff more for the workouts. I work out hard but have slacked on the keto some. Still fast and plan to keep fasting. Fasting is best thing I have done. Anyway I hoped the working out would off set my not so faithful keto but even tho I need to lose 20 or more pounds I have lost no weight since cardio and heavy lifting. I have put on some muscle. 45 year old male here. I'm happy regardless. I feel better. I listened to what jeff said but I have learned my body and carbs even tho I love I cannot eat daily without weight gain.
I'm almost 60, female and never had an easier time in my life staying slim. I credit most of this to my diet which if full of complex carbs. I have told my overweight friends this for YEARS (the ones that ask me that is) They NEVER listen. So they still have no energy and they are still overweight. They are still starving themselves, doing fad diets and over dosing on cardio.
@@angelaolmos7318 I guess I'm blessed I don't have diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorder or joint disorders, or any health issues at all. So I guess I can get away with just eating a healthy whole food diet, including complex carbs. I feel lucky that I don't have the damage that many do. I'm very grateful.
Some of us have a carb sensitivity, even to healthy carbs. In my case, my body hates them. I swell and feel horrible. I tried eating more good carbs and nope. Can't do whole grains nothing or I become inflamed. My feet swell up which makes walking uncomfortable. Not everyone is the same. I have great energy on low carb. I feel so much better. You have to listen to your body and go with what works for you. If your body can handle it, that's great. I wish mine could. Doctors have tried to guilt me into eating a lot more carbs, but it just doesn't work and I couldn't lose weight. I gained. Good luck to you.
@@patc8735 It can very of course, but I'll give you a rough idea. I do eat 3 meals a day and typically don't snack but if I'm ever hungry at all, then I'll have some nuts or fruit or really anything but I don't usually get hungry between meals. So breakfast most often is oatmeal with fruit & nuts. Lunch might be brown rice or quinoa with some kind of beans (or tofu) with a couple kinds of steamed veges and some hot sauce (or if it's tofu, then I use some sesame oil and coconut aminos) or whole grain tortillia with chopped lettuce and chopped veges with some kind of sauce for flavoring, and again beans or tofu. I usually throw on some avocado 3 or 4 times a week. Or sometimes a sandwich, which always includes veges or a salad on the side. Nuts on salad quite a bit too .Dinner can be similar to lunch (if I don't have tofu for lunch then I might have it for dinner.) but both meals always include at least 2 vegetables and some kind of green leafy thing. I don't eat a lot of meat, but I do eat grass fed beef once a week. I also eat Sardines or canned salmon once or twice a week for the calcium and protein. I have chicken here and there. I eat A LOT of sweet potatoes, sometimes every day. Or regular potatoes too. So basically a whole food plant based diet, with meat here and there. So lots of veges, nuts, seeds, whole grains, potatoes, fruit, some healthy organic meat, tofu, beans, fish. VERY little processed food. I don't know if this sounds good to you, but I love every meal I have. Of course I use other seasonings etc too. My meals are pretty big so I think that's why I don't get hungry and snack.
@@patc8735 I also do eat cheese maybe once or twice a month (or whenever I want it) same with eggs. But nothing is off limits for me. If I want dessert or ? I'll have it. But my diet is so clean and I eat quite large portions of whole food, and it seems to make me feel so good, that I've kind of lost much desire for cake or icecream etc.......because after I eat those kind of things, I don't feel as good as I do, when I just eat clean.
"Carbs don't make you fat; calories make you fat." That's a sentence I've read a few times, but it's true. As long as you're moving around and burning more calories than you consume throughout the day, you will not gain weight. Also, if you exercise a ton or participate in HIIT training most days like I do, you NEED the carbs to function. Speaking from experience, for two 3 straight day periods-6 days over two weeks-I went keto as part of a Summer challenge at my gym, meaning high protein and high fat, but no carbs. By the end of the second week doing it, I felt like crap. I couldn't even do my workouts at half-effort I was so exhausted. As soon as I incorporated carbs back into my diet, I felt like a million bucks. My energy was through the roof, and I was able to just blast my way through each workout. Without carbs, it wouldn't have been possible. Enjoy the carbs, enjoy life.
You didn’t get over the keto flu. I went keto actually very low carb 6 months ago and my energy hasn’t been better. But I will eat fruit in a smoothie that’s relatively higher in carbs after my workouts to replace glycogen. It works great for me. I also do intermittent fasting and that really helped getting past the keto flu.
I agree. I have a couple friends that went keto because he said he doesn't want to put fat on from carbs.. I was like what???? Lol I explained to him calories make you fat and funny thing was a month later he's complaining that he feels lethargic and no energy and I turned to him and said hmmmmm I wonder why 😅😅
You probably felt like crap because you are insulin resistant, and your body was trying to repair itself. I eat a ketogenic diet, and I do intermittent and prolonged fasting. I've lost 120 pounds since October 2022, and I've never felt better. I was also able to come off of my blood pressure medicine, my CPAP machine, cured my acid reflux, and stopped smoking while still losing weight. I'm on day 5 of a prolonged fast, and I've lifted weights every day. Not trying to get you to change your diet, just giving you another viewpoint.
Thank you. I did the keto and I felt so great, but my genetic is not to be skinny, I don't need to loose weight, I look better a little chunky, my mother and grandmother had excellent bodies, !! Me too!😊 jaja. So I am eating again my carbs, my work demands it, I don't seat all day, I walk a lot !! I eat a lot, and I keep my weight. My arms and legs and butt are naturally thick 😅, because latin genetic. And doing keto I lost weight and muscles. I love fruits , and e everything come from earth!! Casava. Yuca, potatoes, rice !! And protein. Oatmeal too
I don't avoid carbs, because I need them, especially during my workouts and other daily activities. But I don't over consume them, because I don't need unnecessary storage of it in my body system. So knowing the amount you need for your daily physical activities will definitely give you a benefiting outcome.
Very good video. I used to eat a Keto diet for more than a year to lose weight without having to work out really much. But recently as I came back to Boxing I wasn't able to perform on my training at all without carbs. What i have learned from Keto is the awareness of the nutrition in the food we eat. People often overeat the tones of bad processed food and drink stupid sugary drinks and they blame the fact they cannot lose weight on carbs where the only thing they should be doing is change the type of carbs they eat and maybe the amount.
Exactly what y’all are saying. Keto isn’t zero carbs and carbs fuel muscles, timing is everything. Keto is great for jumpstarting a cut. I’d only recommend it for people with self control who can come off of it and maintain the results.

Brendan Tovey 🤣 That’s just what happens when you allow the government to get involved in public schools. I’ll probably have to homeschool my kids in the future. But my school isn’t too bad yet, I live in Texas, but with all these Californians migrating here, I expect Texas to only get worse
Human biology is literally talked in schools, a lot of which is centered around nutrition; big problem is that most people (like you apparently) never pays much attention in school.
If sugar makes us fat how come i am healthy and lean eating mainly a high carb low fat diet? with no calorie restriction? and boy do I feel amazing! fruit is queen/king, and carbs are amazing. No wonder people are so grumpy restricting them.
I will vouch that this works 2 1/2 months ago I was 281 and was like whoa!! Quarantine wasn't nice to me. I was normally around the 250 260 range. I went the intermediate fasting route. I decided to change most of my eating habits and pay attention to how much I ate and didn't boredom eat either. Started doing some of the core exercises and others that I was able to do to work my whole body the first month.i gradually intensified the work out and lost 31 pounds in the first month. I took a break after that because i was feeling lightheaded all the time and took a break from working out to regulate my body. I was still eating the same food but started incorporating a little bit larger portion then I was before and I was still losing weight. Now is day 1 back to working out. I'm currently down 46 pounds and still losing weight.
I really enjoy how: 1) Jeff gets real. 2) His knowledge and both reliable and inspirational. 3) Make you feel motivated by how he preaches what he practices. Thank you Jeff for all your content!
I have followed a mostly ketogenic diet for the past 1.5 years. It has helped me lost almost 100 lbs and helped me get in pretty damn good shape for 41. However, I have started to introduce some carbs back into my diet strictly for variety. Honestly, I know that I don't have self control and it is a slippery slope, so I am very careful.
Me too.. I learned to control it and knowing how many carbs a portato or cup of rice is and still stay under 100 grams a day, unless I"m going to work out hard that day.
Same here. Most of my carbs now are veg, berries, avoiding grains and simple carbs. I eat 3-4 eggs a day. Went from 236lbs @5"7" to 164lbs in 6 months. Can now do 20 pull ups, 100 push ups, 50 leg lifts/squats. I'm in a happy place but getting the family to adjust their diets as well has been by far the most difficult part.
@@brianclark4713 im an Endomorph with insulin resistance and im celiac if i train 5 days a week (monday-friday) with strength training (PPL) AM and rowing machine PM, should i consume carbs before and after workout? I was thinking a glass of milk right before and right after both AM and PM workout.
Glad you said that people are different. I enjoy eating a moderately low carb diet, about 150 g per day. I also save my carbs till the end of the day, like after 6 to 7pm. This keeps my insulin sensitivity high all day. One day per week, generally Saturdays, I have a big carb day starting around 4pm till midnight. I'll eat 500 to 600 g of carbs, french bread with butter, pizza, ice cream, one or two beers. Yes, I'm four to five pounds heavier Sunday morning, but it's all mainly water retention. Once I get back to my regular diet, all that weight is peed out by Thursday. I've been eating this way for over 7 years, all my labs are great, I can deadlift 455lbs for three reps, and I'm 67 years old.
General population have no clue what they are talking about they think anything that doesn't sound natural even if it is isnt good for you and they prioritize weight loss over being healthy at least 40 year old moms do
I lost over 50lbs in three months doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting. One meal a day and I don’t get hungry. I keep carbs around 30g and under 50g in general. I get my carbs from leafy greens and nuts. I try to keep my fat intake high. About 70% of my calories. I’m fat adapted and my body uses fat as fuel rather than carbs. It’s truly the secret to body fat loss. I wouldn’t do this diet to build muscle, but the point is to lose weight and it works fast and easy.
You get un-used to sugar in your diet (sorry but I'm assuming you're american because I am and you made it sound hard to cut sugar out) and the slightest bit is like OMG SO SWEET lol. Dude we go to a chili place pretty regularly and the corn bread with a bit of honey is my dessert! Most desserts are way too sweet for me now and I don't count that as a negative :)
@@r0e404 When you drop processed sugar intake, you'll find a supremely ripened strawberry is one of the sweetest fruits out there. Watermelon is both sweet AND heavy. Sweet potato with some butter is just proper good. I weened myself off processed sugar by going with 50% unsweet tea 50% sweet, gradually reducing the sweet tea ratio until it was next to nothing (maybe 5% just because I wanted some taste for chilled tea, but hot teas are always unsweet). After a while, you end up like this: ruclips.net/video/54GJA83JFI4/видео.html
Okay so.. if you carry more fat than lean muscle tissue, at any weight.. than keto can have its advantages for sure. Because your body is like a warehouse of stored energy waiting to be distributed. This would also suggest (again assuming you have more fat than muscle tissue) you’re possibly carrying a surplus of sugar in your blood also. You need to spend that stored energy before you can consider using carbs as a fuel source. I was over 320 lbs twice in my life and the second time around I did research and applied it to my body as I went along with my progress. So with a bit of intermittent fasting and a low carb (keto) diet.. you can build muscle and lose weight at the same time, (this is in fact the best time to do both) which is why it’s easier to progress with your gains/loses at the start of your transformation. In time, you will notice the lean tissue take over the fattier parts of your body, and hopefully, you will eventually get to a lean figure (assuming you want to be lean and not bulky) and this is when weight loss becomes more difficult. All the stored energy in your fat cells are depleted or for the most part anyway, so now your need to go about reformatting your diet and consider using carbs to get leaner (sounds sketchy but very true) and have the energy to finish your training sessions without feeling like your struggling to get any progress done. This is when you have to be SMART about the type of carbs you take and how much you actually need to execute your desired physical performance/appearance . There is more details once your getting closer to 15% or less body fat, like what kind of hypertrophy, and progressive overload your gonna undergo etc.. but putting everything else aside. Strictly speaking about carbs, it’s complex carbs( rice, oats, potatoes) over simple carbs (cereal, candy, processed sugars) you really need to be eating for training purposes. Yes, you can eat simple sugars but that’s gonna be stored mostly in your liver (as fat) rather than in your muscle tissue (fuel, definition). Once your training upwards to 90 minutes a day, resistance training, cardio, heavy weights etc.. this is when those carbs are essential in my opinion. But again, knowing how many your gonna need is a trial and error situation per individual, and what you wanna look like.. (Bruce Lee, Arnold swartzenegger, or something in between). You also have to give your body time to absorb said carbs, I personally eat complex carbs 90 min or more prior to my workouts to allow digestion and distribution into my muscle tissue. But if it’s simple carbs, I only do cereal that’s high in fiber but candy bars (w/e) also, can be eaten roughly 30 min prior to a workout so it’s a quick energy boost and can be burned up quite easily if your doing a serious training session. So the leaner you get and the more shredded you want to be, Keto diets become useless and often hurt your gains because storing fat at a leaner build won’t get you the shredded physical appearance, especially if your trying to get visible abdominal tissue. People tend to overdo the fat consumption anyway, like eating all kinds of bacon and butter? If your over 15% body fat.. this is just gonna keep you from seeing more positive results. I’m not a doctor, or a certified blah blah blah.. I’m just someone who has effectively changed my physique after going through some serious shit that put me in a position where I needed to make some serious life decisions or.. ☠️☠️☠️. If you read this all the way, thanks for not wasting my time.
@@InsendoChavero and here I was wondering why the results have slowed down drastically and why I was feeling depleted rather quickly while working out. In other words don't fear the carbs but be smart about them. thanks. was a good read and congrats on turning your life around.
I've been having great success with carb cycling, that is I eat high carbs on training days and then almost keto on the off days and I've been shedding crazy weight
I don't doubt it. I saw increased energy levels and muscle mass as soon as I stopped eating rice every evening and swapped it for vegetable salad instead.
For me, it was cutting out sugar. Anything with sugar gives my joints pain and inflammation. As soon as I cut that out, I lost weight, built muscle and gained a lot of energy. Carbs were my go-to replacement for sugar. It can help some people.
With all due respect, I disagree with the notion of "long-term" success and sustainability focus. From my own experience and those of my friends, short-term weight lost due to insulin/cortisol reset does not tend to come back. My situation was this: ate extremely badly until I was 18-19, quite overweight at around 100KG+; started going to the gym, lifting weights and did positive (but not extreme) alterations to my diet for about a year and a half, gained some muscle but did not lose much weight, still feeling terrible about my physique and quite close to giving up the gym due to little results. Decided to do a brutal low-carb diet for a month and a bit, which included 1 cheat day a week (definitely not a sustainable diet), ended up losing 15KG, went back to my normal diet. 5 years later the weight has not returned. I firmly believe that short-term diet is what a lot of people need to snap out of the vicious cycle of "no matter how hard I try, I will always be fat anyway". When you see real change, you start believing and can continue on a positive track.
Yes. This. I’m surprised that people are surprised to hear what a “carb high” is. I discovered this phenomena while in college because A.) I had more free time around lunch than in highschool and B.) was quite poor while attending my university influencing me to have a hefty diet of the McDonald’s dollar menu food. Those high carb meals spike your sugar levels, and drastically lower it within an hour, leading to unhealthy habits
@@birdswakeme651 That's because you were eating like 300 carbs and 1000 plus calories in one meal at McDonald's. Fast food is extremely high in carbs, fats, calories. Eat healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, vegetables, fruits. Eat lean meats. Stop eating fast food. The problem is right in your comment. People eat McDonald's 2 or 3 tines a day. Sit on their asses all day. Then go home and sit in front of the TV on their asses. Then they want to blame shit like carbs for being fat when it's their lazy ass lifestyle. Common sense is hard to come by these days 🙄
I've found that carb cycling works best for me to lean out while still keeping muscle. Fri-Sat are high cal / carb days, sun - Thurs are low cal / low carb days. Too many carb days in a row makes me softer. Love your content Jeff
I am started to do that bc I learned in another video that after you go low carb for several days, at first you burn body fat but then you taper off so you need carbs again to shock your body levels. I am very disciplined so I don't care what I have to do, how little carbs I can have...all I care about is the most effective way to burn as much body fat as possible! I am starting to do cardio while fasting right after I wake up. I heard that burns body fat.
@@MilkyWayGalaxyy I started a lean bulk since this post but I've also started intermittent fasting for 15 hours mon-saturday no fast on sunday. It really works well boosting the metabolism. Fasting hours are 8pm-11am makes it easier
This is too complex a subject to cover in a youtube comment. So I'll try to drive a few simple points. 1. Metabolism is hugely different between people, and the same "plate" will affect people differently. 2. Different activity levels WILL mean different nutrition plans (for the same person), aka different macros. 3. Your wholesome advice will probably work for most people, especially people who are working out regularly 4. Some people, even though they're extreme athletes (notably Tim Noaks) still become diabetic, which leads me to my most important point 5. The effects of macro ratios on a person do not have to do with their caloric disparity as much as their endocrine effect. Stating that fat is twice as dense calorically than carbs is so outdated and out of step with current metabolic understanding. We are not an internal combustion engine and we do not process calories like engines. The hormones are the most important factor in regard to metabolism and not your food's caloric density. I've been low carb for over 3 years, and can attest to the (n=1) fact that consuming 60 to 80 percent of my calories from fat keeps me lean. 6. Balance is key. Control is key. Attention to how our own bodies react to different foods and stimuli is key. Never stick to a label. Investigate, research, and test your body's reaction to food all the time.
Excellent response. I love jeff, but nutrition is not an exact science and sometimes these trainers like to step outside their wheelhouse. Weight gain is typically a hormonal thing and not a caloric thing, like you stated. Thank you for your input. Well said.
@@basilisk8706 Hi. I don't follow a strict meal plan nowadays, but adhere to my guidelines of when, how, and what to eat. I vary greately between days. On some I eat freely (timewise), while on others I'll have 2, 1, or no meals. If you're interested in sharing more information and thoughts feel free to contact me at frameofreference2019@gmail.com
Thank you for being respectful. I have tried several times to control weight with a well rounded calorie restrictive diet with minimal success and each time, less and less effective. (Lowered my base metabolic rate each time) Keto/low carb has been the only thing to give me lasting weight loss, muscle gain and control over my insulin resistance, increased cognitive sharpness and zero sluggishness and energy crashes. I'm 51 and haven't felt this good or had healthy blood labs like this in 20 years.
Agreed, but I don't understand how anyone can hate on keto or call them keto crusaders. There are countless success stories from people using that diet. Not for me, but it clearly works
mitchmediak end of the day it’s calories in calories out you can eat only McDonald’s but if you somehow have more calories out you’ll lose weight people put too much thought into diets only extra benefit from proper diets is nutrients etc
@@AD-ui6sk nah it dosnt works like that. Who you would think will be leaner? Someone who eats 2000 calories of sugar and fast food or someone who eats healthy?
@Bernd DasBrot "humans didn't eat carbs in any relevant quantity" ??? Many early humans have been known to eat tons of carbs, with as much as 250g of fiber per day. That is an absolute fuck ton of fiber.
@Bernd DasBrot if you really think the majority of early humans weren't eating a lot of carbohydrates you are delusional. Sure there are some outliers that couldn't find anything but meat because of their environment, but most people were eating lots and lots of plants, including fruits.
The whole point behind keto and fasting is to repair the insulin resistance. Yes healthy carbs are better than refined carbs. It's all about understanding the purpose behind keto and fasting. If you never screwed up your system then you might not understand. I'm 52 and I'm in way better shape than I was in my 20s since I started keto and fasting. Yes I would agree I need carbs but I have noticed I still have to keep it low carb . I feel much better
@@KeterMalkuth @Keter Here's a link to an article about a doctor who, in the 1950's, cured people of all sorts of serious ailments, like kidney and heart disease and/or failure, and even complete reversal of diabetic retinopathy. He's the guy you went to when all the other doctors sent you home to die. And he did it all by feeding his patients nothing but fruit, fruit juice, white rice, and table sugar. www.retinalphysician.com/issues/2008/april-2008/fifty-year-anniversary-reversal-of-diabetic-retin#:~:text=In%201958%2C%20Walter%20Kempner%2C%20a,regimented%20rice%2Ffruit%20dietary%20program. That doctor was actually brought to my attention a few years ago by Denise Minger, who gave a speech at a low carb/keto/paleo conference, and it just blew my mind. ruclips.net/video/KFfK27B_qZY/видео.html It sent me down a rabbit hole of information and research. Quite fascinating stuff. Here's an interesting article about how fat can cause insulin resistance and diabetes: "Fat in the bloodstream can build up inside the muscle cells, creating toxic fatty breakdown products and free radicals that block the insulin signaling process. No matter how much insulin we have in our blood, it’s not able to sufficiently open the glucose gates, and blood sugar levels build up in the blood. And this can happen within three hours. One hit of fat can start causing insulin resistance, inhibiting blood sugar uptake after just 160 minutes. This mechanism by which fat induces insulin resistance wasn’t known until fancy MRI techniques were developed to see what was happening inside people’s muscles as fat was infused into their bloodstream. That’s how we found that elevation of fat levels in the blood causes insulin resistance by inhibition of glucose transport into the muscles." nutritionfacts.org/2016/11/17/fat-is-the-cause-of-type-2-diabetes/#:~:text=Fat%20in%20the%20bloodstream%20can,build%20up%20in%20the%20blood.

Ive been doing keto and fasting with lots of exercise and have lost 80lbs in the last 7 month's it saved my life. I really enjoy my eating habits now. Also reduced my sleep apnea and not pre diabetic anymore either. I can list a million other things that improved because of my weight loss and low carb diet.
So basically, don't eat sugary food. And otherwise just don't eat to much. Is that summery correct. If that is the case then I am very proud of myself. That was exactly what I found was the most sustainable way to slim down
I went on a straight health food only diet a few years ago when I knew nothing about calories and macros and lost a ton of weight but also lost muscle, then went through bulking and half-assed cutting cycles, I put on muscle and fat on the bulk but I’d always end up failing when I came to consistently cutting fat. I did keto but I had no energy while working out, I tried to get on diets that really restricted my calories but I could only stay on it for a short while. I found some of Jeff’s videos a few months ago and finally started to consistently lose fat and am now on the right track to getting super lean. Keto seems to work very well for people who are obese and have several dozen pounds to lose, for the average person i think a diet of meat and protein but also vegetables and carbs like fruit and grain is perfect, especially if you are working out; a slow consistent diet that doesn’t restrict calories so much that you fall off and end up gaining the weight back.
several things that i will stick to the keto-way is: I sleep better and i wake up like a million bucks, my mood never goes up and down, my focus is beyond good and i dont have any inflammation. I feel sooo much better! i will never tell people that keto is the way to go, but it works for me. Like everything else in the beginning when you start something new, it will be hard, but you just have to get over it and you know/feel when things starts to fall into place.
100-150 grams a day is literally all I need. Period. I'm no fan of keto, but even when I'm not cutting, I rarely go over that number and it works for me very well
Been on keto for 87 days. Lost 54 pounds. Decided yesterday it was time to go off of it and start training my body to get ready for the building phase. Going to be avoiding sugars as much as I can. Started eating potatoes again which was weird. I just hate the bloated feeling that carbs give. But it’s time to make a change for long term success. Thank you for this video.
Propably isnt healthy longterm. But if u dont only consume animal fats, but also fats from plants it is totally fine. But Keto is great if u want to loose fat shorterm. Just dont switch from Keto to normal too quick, because of the Yoyo-effect.
You're feeling bloated because you ate too much you need to look up online what the serving size is then scale all your food by grams. It will help prevent you from overeating. Only eat sugar from natural fruits and try to buy your fruit and veggies at the Farmers market
I did keto to drop 30 lbs and it worked great. Having said that I tried to stay on it and my work outs sucked and I was depressed. I was at a point of maintaining my weight and it really was some of the weakest work outs I ever had. I include carbs now and everything is right in my life.
People who are metabolically broken have compromised pancreases. Two thirds of Americans are prediabetic. Some people have food addictions. For those who are metabolically healthy, low fat high protein with some carbs works. For those prediabetics, the low carb seems to be sustainable. Look at the Virta health trials for diabetes reversal. They are on the third year. Two thirds stopped their insulin.
I'd say the prediabetics problem is more processed foods and refined sugar. Safe, natural carbohydrates taken with protein and fat should be fine. Now, I'm not rubbishing a low carb diet. I do at least one day a week where I eat no starch at all and I find that very beneficial, and I think for actual diabetics it's a good option. For most people though, oats, sweet potato, rice, vegetables - all good.
Syklone It depends on how well their pancreas recovers. Some people have beta cell death and will have less function, for others, the cells will recover and they can eat natural carbs as you have described.
@@Syklonus I mean I in general feel much better and satisfied on a ketogenic diet, but I also do mix in green vegetables without worrying about it. At this point keto has become popular enough that I dont feel like Im missing out on much.
Dickgirl Nationalist That is not true based on research. The best example is Virta Health. Now on the third year of their clinical trials. Sixty six percent elimination of insulin in patients. You can do your own test using a continuous glucose monitor. It’s a secondary measure (doesn’t measure insulin but does measure the result). Consuming fat results in nearly zero glucose response, protein causes slightly elevated response and carbs cause large spikes. I agree that all processed foods and seed oils are even worse.
It's true but I think because the body finds it more tiring to burn stored fat, rather than newly eaten carbs. I think the bulking (carbs on demand) / cutting (reduce carbs) routine works well enough and is sustainable for most in the long term.
Thats interesting when i was doing extremely low carbs basically trying to cut out all sugars i felt great lost fat fast and mentally clarity improved as well. But I agree that in the gym weight lifting suffered slightly, I felt slighty weaker like i didnt have that extra gear and the end of sets like i did when eating carbs.
@@vitaminb4869 It makes sense just fine. Carbs isn't the only source of fuel our body uses, it's perfectly capable of oxidizing fats or proteins if needed. That said I don't subscribe to "You have to stick to a Paleo diet", besides the fact that nobody agrees on what that means exactly nobody's eating exactly like the time period it supposedly refers to because we no longer have access to the same food sources.
The timing for this video is so perfect! I have done keto before and seen great success for maybe 2-3 months, however I could not maintain, so I have been pondering on whether or not I should include carbs and you definitely helped me make a decision. Thank you.
You say you have done keto before which implies you are not now. If you aren't doing keto now doesn't that mean that you are already eating carbs? So what then did this video help you decide? Decide to eat even more carbs. 3 months and 30 pounds later you will rethink some more.
Yeah eliminating carbs just makes my weight yo-yo drastically, since I always go back to yummy carbs. We need carbs for the cells in our brain and body. I eat 300g everyday and drop fat consistently. I eat less fat more fruits and veggies to lose weight. I love it and I can keep it up for life.
That's not true. You don't actually need carbs. You only need fat and protein. However, in the end it is calories in and calories out, so if you eat a high percentage of carbs but not too many calories, it can still work.
@@benpeeples4265 you do you and see what happens. every cell in your body needs sugar from fruits. ketones are toxic in the blood. again just do you I’m not listening to this bad advice bc I know it’s wrong.
@@riricarter8050 Ketones are toxic to your body ? Where did you get that information, professor ? Breastfed babies are usually living on ketones for several months, if ketones were toxic then babies wouldn't have grown to be a toddler. Secondly, there's essential fatty acids and amino acids, there's no such thing as essential carbs. Body makes glucose via gluconeogenesis from non-carb substrates like protein, so we don't need to eat sugar from fruits, but do you man and cells need cholesterol not sugar. That's the last thing our cells would require, I don't blame ya for not knowing bc no one talks about the proper human diet.
If you look at his food that he eats, each meal looks normal and not skimped in anyway. He's talking about indulging in shitty food. He's also saying that eating the right carbs and fats won't have negative effects like weight gain, but rather keep you health because your body needs carbs and fats to survive.
Fella, you have saved the day!!!🎉🎉🎉 I am an over 50 woman dealing with hormonal weight. My fitness guide says I need more carbs than protein and fats, which had me shook. I was about to start a Keto plan. I came to RUclips and you blessed my day. I am typically a hard candy eater, so I am doing a detox from refined sugars. I figured I needed to go Keto for that. Keto makes me feel yuck. I love veggies and healthy starches, but Keto frowns on that. Now I have the solution, thanks to you. My fitness app says I need 55% Carbs, 25% fats, and 20% protein to lose weight. Now, this all makes sense.
Saw a documentary about how mixing fat with sugars (carbs) is a lot of why we over eat, an. Example of that would be that 500ml of Coke: 200 calories , 500ml of Ben & Jerry’s ~800 calories (I know it’s not the best example since Coke is a drink and is still bad for you in terms of messy blood sugars but it highlights how much a difference different food choices can have)
Nah that’s not true at all. It’s actually the opposite. The problem is carb sources where most of the carbs from from a sugar source aren’t satiating therefore leaving you hungry and leading you to overeat
Your body reacts to sugar by releasing insulin, the spikes are what makes you hungry. I used to eat a lot of carbs and be full, but then a few hrs. Will go by and felt dizzy and tired, and my blood sugar will be low, despite not being diabetic, is because my body released insulin to deal with the crap I ate. It doesnt not happen with fat or protein for me.
@@darklausal23 Same! I am fairly lean and always have been so I think my insulin is working just fine. But, if I eat a high carb breakfast, even a healthy one for example, within about 2 hours I am hungry, shaky, light headed and feel like crap. If I have eggs and veggies I can stay full and feel great for closer to 4 hours and not suddenly feel like I need to eat a truckload of things ASAP to feel better. I don't eat NO carbs but I need to be careful.
Not all carbs are the same. Sounds like you are talking about simple sugars as opposed to complex carbs. Oatmeal is famous for keeping you satisfied and fueled even if lunch time is delayed.
@@larryputra3692 Go ahead and eat a lot of meat and fast until dinner. I would rather have the benefits of a vegan compatible diet centered around whole foods, like a lower chance of several of the top chronic deadly diseases. The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially declared- "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases. These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage. *Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity.* Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements." -Full abstract from the position paper as found on PubMed from the National Institutes of Health
@@larryputra3692 The AND was citing the results of the Adventist Studies in regards to the chronic diseases they listed. The Adventist Studies also found that the only dietary group studied with an average BMI in the recommended range was the vegan group. Link to the Studies at my channel under "About."
@@someguy2135 bruh,we were never supposed to eat that much sugar in the first place,vegans consume over 300 grams of carbs a day,and not only does that raise blood sugar,and prevents any sustainable weight loss,but also puts you at a higher risk for diabetes,high blood pressure,feeling hungry and moody if you skip a meal,besides humans need a lot of b12 and vitamin D and certain amino-acids from animal products,which is why cheese was made and other dairy products like yogurt and so forth,besides saturated fats by themselves are not the culprit,the real problem is the excess sugar in the diet,whether you get sugar from honey or potatoes or apples,it is still sugar regardless,so moderation is key,we need both animal products and plants and any exceds would harm you over time!
Appreciate you standing out of the massive keto-religion trend and “carbs are bad” - generalizations. You do excellent job to explain the differences between different sources and meanings of carbs. I loved the fact that you made clear points why we people DO need to include smart carbs into daily LONG TERM diet. And the facts about carbs relation to certain hormones & mental-health is absolutely diamond! Of course we all can get lean in 4 weeks on keto, but if this cost one a social, mental and long term endurance and other life aspects, it is not really a health solution for a lifetime. I find it’s important not only to realize a greate amount of micronutritions, that we consume with healthy carbs, but also a huge role of “carefree” social-life, wich eating brings to our everyday life. If only we’d eat to live and not live to eat. 😉🤓
Jeff: Eat carbs Me: I’ll have two number 9s, a number 9 large, a number 6 with extra dip, a number 7, two number 45s, one with cheese, and a large soda.
As an endomorph with a low carbohydrate tolerance, *Keto* has given me the best results regarding fat loss and muscle gain. Fortunately, I've always been a fan of eggs, beef, poultry, fish, and vegetables, so eating this way long-term has never been an issue. I simply increase my caloric and protein intake if I want to bulk; when I cut, I reduce my caloric intake and drop down to a solid 70% (fat), 25% (protein), and 5% (carb) macro split. This works perfectly for me, but it may not work well for others. It's crucial to know your body type and adjust your diet accordingly. There are no "one-size fits all" solutions regarding nutrition.
As a keto guy, I think this guy made a lot of sense. His whole argument is based on long term SUSTAINABILITY. To be clear, cutting carbs WILL help you lose weight. But, for professional bodybuilders and marathon athletes who are physically active ALL day long, including carbs will make the most sense regarding functionality.
Keto helped me get started with my weight loss journey. I lost my first 30 pounds with keto. Then I could start physically exercising, now my diet includes carbohydrates and I have stayed lean without Yo-Yoing back
Yeah I work on aircraft, and I’m constantly walking 15+ miles a day moving parts this and that. Plus I have to stay fit. There’s no fucking way I could go without carbs. I tried it. Hats off to the people who can
Good video - I’m on keto but not a fanatic. My main reason is I am high (very high) risk for Alzheimer’s. Insulin resistance and brain glucose seem to be contributing factors so I’m trying to fuel my brain with ketones. Losing weight is a side bonus. The problem is: yes, it’s a tough diet to sustain.
Just quit keto after years and it negatively impacting my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Yes I lost a lot of weight but made my chronic insomnia and fatigue 10times worse and negatively impacted my immune system and mental health, landing me in hospital. Have been vegetarian, Vegan and low carb for a couple years respectively in the past too...I've decided to quit all that because it never gave me energy and kept ending up in hospital. I've decided to go opposite and go high carb (healthy carbs) for the first time in a decade and have never seen fat literally melt so fast off my body and quick muscle gains with training than ever before. Am so full of energy and mental clarity and improved my mental health/sleep drastically! I truly wish I'd started earlier and not experienced the negative impacts of all the other "healthy diets" that ruined my life!
sounds like you're in low carb. but not keto.. so your body never really enter ketosis maybe you're not eating fats or eating too much protein(you should get ketones test kit available in supermarket and test yourself in weekly basis) because when in your keto you shouldn't experience fatigue since fat is fueling you instead of carb
Man soo much value, i dropped 50 pounds from the Keto diet, but now its time for me to have a sustainable way of eating for my life and this is it! Thank you !
Thanks Jeff for another informative video! I would just like to add my two cents. As a middle-aged person, I came to realisation that the food that I enjoy the most is the food that I ate in my childhood. My granny was an amazing cook, and sure enough, there were plenty of carbs on the menu. However, that food shaped my palate and I realised that no diet will ever 'work', unless I incorporate the variants of those dishes from my childhood. We ate a lot of stews, soups, plenty of veggies. Those meals were very filling and made from good ingredients. Now I adapted those meals in a way that serves the purpose of my current diet. I don't lose weight very quickly (I am slightly overweight), but I like the way that my body is slowly changing, and I am happy overall! I think it is a good idea to add your favourite dishes on the menu, not as a cheat meal, but as an adapted variant that works well for your diet plan.
Very bad advice for most people. He’s unique in his carb tolerance. Grains are not healthy in any way. Lechtins, no nutrients, turn to glucose. (We know because when young he ate m&m’s and sugar and junk food “like crazy” and was super thin. Only issue was he couldn’t build muscle.)
I've been Keto for 3 years now, reversed my high blood pressure and Prediabetes. I eat as many fibrous carbohydrates as I want on Keto. I definitely don't exclude carbs on Keto
I've achieved the same results in keto as well as diabetic overweight family. Keto does not exclude carbs. Biggest misunderstanding of the general population
I've never been dogmatic about diet but from my own experience, with my lifestyle and my training load, nothing has brought me as much success as doing keto.
I totally agree with you Bro, when people approach me for giving them a meal plan to lose weight or get in shape. I take the same approach as you displayed. Learn a lifestyle because if someone is "on diet " he will be "off diet " one day. then what??? Thanks for re-inforcing my belief.

And remember it matters the quality of carbs protein and fat your digesting..

When I started lifting regularly, I found inconsistencies in my energy and lift. I had to develop a routine for what I ate and when. After lifting heavy, I also felt like crap for a long time until I ate rice. I was taking in a lot of protein, but not enough quality carbs - rice has really hit the spot. If I eat rice one to two hours before lifting, I get maximum energy at the gym, and quick recovery afterwards. Rice is key for me.

I ate lower carb for a whole year (not KETO), lost weight and muscle despite working out (HIIT, weight lifting). Then the binge eating came out of nowhere, thousands and thousands of calories a day. I put on 20pounds in 3-4 months. Tried IF to get rid of the need to binge, tried OMAD, tried low carb, lowered calories. Nothing worked to get rid of the binging and the cravings, and my body started to hold on to every ounce of new body fat for dear life. Only after I started to eat higher carb/lower fat did the binging/cravings suddenly stop and the weight started to shift again. I now eat a bowl of wholegrain pasta every night. I think you're right that we need to discern between the various types of carbs, cut out the treats, and not deprive yourself of carbs. Maybe low-carb/KETO works for some people, but not for all.
Jeff: eat carbohydrates.
Me: way ahead of you on this one.
Fred - pasta and potatoes gang rise up.
Lolol
Yup. The carb phobia nonsense needs to stop.
Late 50's, 5' 10", 175lbs, about 18% body fat, pretty muscular, pretty lean. Eating spaghetti with a ton of sauce at work. The circle guy looks at me and asks is it wise to eat so many carbs. Before I could answer, I heard someone else in the background say, Look at him. Looks to me like he's doing something right! :)
@Bernd DasBrot The video is about eating carbs. Telling people to not fear carbs. This discussion is about the same thing. My comment was in the vein of the conversation...that is, one CAN eat carbs and not think they're going to make you fat. Nowhere in my comment did I say anything about how frequently I eat pasta, and nowhere was I suggesting it was 'healthy'. But thanks for cherry picking a comment and twisting it to fit your perspective.
Also I want to add here for the people who wants to loose weight. Get comfortable not feeling full all the time. A lot of people confuse not feeling full with hunger. I know because I felt like that too. You should be eating enough but you should not be eating until you are full all the time. I know it's hard but if you condition yourself like this long enough your body and mind will adapt to it. And good luck for all mu fellow lifters. 👍
Taking your time helps immensely. I always make it a point to eat slowly and give myself time to feel satiated. I see so many people shoveling food down as fast as they can instead of just slowly eating until they're satisfied. You can eat 2 pieces of pizza in 15 minutes or 6 pieces in 15 minutes. In 30 minutes you either won't be hungry or you feel like hell 'cause you're stuffed.
That is perfect common sense. If we eat as we are designed to eat and only eat nutritious meals in portions that sustain life and not eat all kinds of crap until you’re full or beyond full your body will respond accordingly.
if you like to feel full and satisfied just eat until you are full one or two meals a day with intermittend fasting
Yes this advice holds true.

Keto diets are good for persons trying to reverse insulin resistance which caused their obese or overweight state. If you are not insulin resistant, have a adequate muscle to body fat ratio, excercise regularly, know your portion sizes. Eating carbs is not a problem.
Even those who reverse their insulin resistance can return to eating carbs once they understand the science of food.
And like you said their are different types of carbs.

Greetings from Slovakia. Jeff, as many other people around the world I really admire you. I´ve been watching your videos since 2011 and I wish one day I will look so good like you. On your appeal to let you know which topics we want you to cover here are my suggestions:
1. Can you do a video especially on type I and type II muscle fibres? How to focus on them, their ratio in each body parts, etc.
2. Thank to your advice we know that the leg extensions are a bad exercise. What is your opinion on legpress or hack squats? Are they a bad options, especially because of the pressure on spine?
3. In a 2015 video Quick shoulder mobility drill you used a resistance band and during this drill your arms were travelling behind your body almost to your glutes. Isn´t it a risky position for shoulders?
4. Hamstring stretch: anterior pelvic tilt vs. butt wink
5. Joint nutrition (glucosamine, chondroitin, MSM): real effects, benefits, dosing.
6. Tribulus, glutamine, carnitine. Do they really have some benefits or are they just waste of money?

I am Type 2 diabetic and carbs spike my glucose levels. I have to limit carbs if I want my blood glucose levels lower. Eating a high protein, low carb diet has worked wonderfully. Eating carbs last at a meal is a great way to help keep glucose levels low like Jeff suggested. In fact, when I eat carbs last at a meal my glucose levels don't spike as high.
If you add healthy fats to carbs it lessens the spike,eat fat protein then carbs 😊

I was scrolling down the comments wondering what Thomas would say about this... and then there you are!
The average American is obese and is going to die due to high carb intake.
the low carb diet is not at all about maintaining a lifestyle of low carbs. it's about reversing your diet long enough to let your kidneys, liver, and pancreas all get into a healthy enough condition to function properly again. 6 months of no carbs should do that to most people.
After 6 months of keto, I can now drink milk and have the same effect of an energy drink due to the sugars.
The keto champion has arrived
Both of these men ROCK! Though, I'm giving the nutritional edge to Thomas! I'm biased. I've personally experienced the healthy effects and sustainable approach of eating a low/lower carb diet. I'm glad Thomas chimed in. You guys should do a video together discussing these matters in greater length.
Wow nice to see thomas commenting. Thomas I lean more to your style of eating. No pun intended. I have lost 80 lbs keto,fasting with no working out. I follow Jeff more for the workouts. I work out hard but have slacked on the keto some. Still fast and plan to keep fasting. Fasting is best thing I have done. Anyway I hoped the working out would off set my not so faithful keto but even tho I need to lose 20 or more pounds I have lost no weight since cardio and heavy lifting. I have put on some muscle. 45 year old male here. I'm happy regardless. I feel better. I listened to what jeff said but I have learned my body and carbs even tho I love I cannot eat daily without weight gain.
I'm almost 60, female and never had an easier time in my life staying slim. I credit most of this to my diet which if full of complex carbs. I have told my overweight friends this for YEARS (the ones that ask me that is) They NEVER listen. So they still have no energy and they are still overweight. They are still starving themselves, doing fad diets and over dosing on cardio.
@@angelaolmos7318 I guess I'm blessed I don't have diabetes, cancer, autoimmune disorder or joint disorders, or any health issues at all. So I guess I can get away with just eating a healthy whole food diet, including complex carbs. I feel lucky that I don't have the damage that many do. I'm very grateful.
Some of us have a carb sensitivity, even to healthy carbs. In my case, my body hates them. I swell and feel horrible. I tried eating more good carbs and nope. Can't do whole grains nothing or I become inflamed. My feet swell up which makes walking uncomfortable. Not everyone is the same. I have great energy on low carb. I feel so much better. You have to listen to your body and go with what works for you. If your body can handle it, that's great. I wish mine could. Doctors have tried to guilt me into eating a lot more carbs, but it just doesn't work and I couldn't lose weight. I gained. Good luck to you.
What would a typical day's worth of food look like and do you have three meals a day, no snacks?
@@patc8735 It can very of course, but I'll give you a rough idea. I do eat 3 meals a day and typically don't snack but if I'm ever hungry at all, then I'll have some nuts or fruit or really anything but I don't usually get hungry between meals. So breakfast most often is oatmeal with fruit & nuts. Lunch might be brown rice or quinoa with some kind of beans (or tofu) with a couple kinds of steamed veges and some hot sauce (or if it's tofu, then I use some sesame oil and coconut aminos) or whole grain tortillia with chopped lettuce and chopped veges with some kind of sauce for flavoring, and again beans or tofu. I usually throw on some avocado 3 or 4 times a week. Or sometimes a sandwich, which always includes veges or a salad on the side. Nuts on salad quite a bit too .Dinner can be similar to lunch (if I don't have tofu for lunch then I might have it for dinner.) but both meals always include at least 2 vegetables and some kind of green leafy thing. I don't eat a lot of meat, but I do eat grass fed beef once a week. I also eat Sardines or canned salmon once or twice a week for the calcium and protein. I have chicken here and there. I eat A LOT of sweet potatoes, sometimes every day. Or regular potatoes too. So basically a whole food plant based diet, with meat here and there. So lots of veges, nuts, seeds, whole grains, potatoes, fruit, some healthy organic meat, tofu, beans, fish. VERY little processed food. I don't know if this sounds good to you, but I love every meal I have. Of course I use other seasonings etc too. My meals are pretty big so I think that's why I don't get hungry and snack.
@@patc8735 I also do eat cheese maybe once or twice a month (or whenever I want it) same with eggs. But nothing is off limits for me. If I want dessert or ? I'll have it. But my diet is so clean and I eat quite large portions of whole food, and it seems to make me feel so good, that I've kind of lost much desire for cake or icecream etc.......because after I eat those kind of things, I don't feel as good as I do, when I just eat clean.
"Carbs don't make you fat; calories make you fat." That's a sentence I've read a few times, but it's true. As long as you're moving around and burning more calories than you consume throughout the day, you will not gain weight. Also, if you exercise a ton or participate in HIIT training most days like I do, you NEED the carbs to function.
Speaking from experience, for two 3 straight day periods-6 days over two weeks-I went keto as part of a Summer challenge at my gym, meaning high protein and high fat, but no carbs. By the end of the second week doing it, I felt like crap. I couldn't even do my workouts at half-effort I was so exhausted. As soon as I incorporated carbs back into my diet, I felt like a million bucks. My energy was through the roof, and I was able to just blast my way through each workout. Without carbs, it wouldn't have been possible.
Enjoy the carbs, enjoy life.
You didn’t get over the keto flu. I went keto actually very low carb 6 months ago and my energy hasn’t been better. But I will eat fruit in a smoothie that’s relatively higher in carbs after my workouts to replace glycogen. It works great for me. I also do intermittent fasting and that really helped getting past the keto flu.
I agree. I have a couple friends that went keto because he said he doesn't want to put fat on from carbs.. I was like what???? Lol I explained to him calories make you fat and funny thing was a month later he's complaining that he feels lethargic and no energy and I turned to him and said hmmmmm I wonder why 😅😅
You probably felt like crap because you are insulin resistant, and your body was trying to repair itself. I eat a ketogenic diet, and I do intermittent and prolonged fasting. I've lost 120 pounds since October 2022, and I've never felt better. I was also able to come off of my blood pressure medicine, my CPAP machine, cured my acid reflux, and stopped smoking while still losing weight. I'm on day 5 of a prolonged fast, and I've lifted weights every day.
Not trying to get you to change your diet, just giving you another viewpoint.
Thank you. I did the keto and I felt so great, but my genetic is not to be skinny, I don't need to loose weight, I look better a little chunky, my mother and grandmother had excellent bodies, !! Me too!😊 jaja. So I am eating again my carbs, my work demands it, I don't seat all day, I walk a lot !! I eat a lot, and I keep my weight. My arms and legs and butt are naturally thick 😅, because latin genetic. And doing keto I lost weight and muscles. I love fruits , and e everything come from earth!! Casava. Yuca, potatoes, rice !! And protein. Oatmeal too
I don't avoid carbs, because I need them, especially during my workouts and other daily activities. But I don't over consume them, because I don't need unnecessary storage of it in my body system. So knowing the amount you need for your daily physical activities will definitely give you a benefiting outcome.
You don't "need" carbs, fyi.

Very good video. I used to eat a Keto diet for more than a year to lose weight without having to work out really much. But recently as I came back to Boxing I wasn't able to perform on my training at all without carbs. What i have learned from Keto is the awareness of the nutrition in the food we eat. People often overeat the tones of bad processed food and drink stupid sugary drinks and they blame the fact they cannot lose weight on carbs where the only thing they should be doing is change the type of carbs they eat and maybe the amount.

If sugar makes us fat how come i am healthy and lean eating mainly a high carb low fat diet? with no calorie restriction? and boy do I feel amazing! fruit is queen/king, and carbs are amazing. No wonder people are so grumpy restricting them.
I will vouch that this works 2 1/2 months ago I was 281 and was like whoa!! Quarantine wasn't nice to me. I was normally around the 250 260 range. I went the intermediate fasting route. I decided to change most of my eating habits and pay attention to how much I ate and didn't boredom eat either. Started doing some of the core exercises and others that I was able to do to work my whole body the first month.i gradually intensified the work out and lost 31 pounds in the first month. I took a break after that because i was feeling lightheaded all the time and took a break from working out to regulate my body. I was still eating the same food but started incorporating a little bit larger portion then I was before and I was still losing weight. Now is day 1 back to working out. I'm currently down 46 pounds and still losing weight.
I really enjoy how: 1) Jeff gets real. 2) His knowledge and both reliable and inspirational. 3) Make you feel motivated by how he preaches what he practices. Thank you Jeff for all your content!
I have followed a mostly ketogenic diet for the past 1.5 years. It has helped me lost almost 100 lbs and helped me get in pretty damn good shape for 41. However, I have started to introduce some carbs back into my diet strictly for variety. Honestly, I know that I don't have self control and it is a slippery slope, so I am very careful.
Just don't eat the very bad carbs like donuts, you ll be fine.
Me too.. I learned to control it and knowing how many carbs a portato or cup of rice is and still stay under 100 grams a day, unless I"m going to work out hard that day.
Yeah i try to stay under 200
Same here. Most of my carbs now are veg, berries, avoiding grains and simple carbs. I eat 3-4 eggs a day. Went from 236lbs @5"7" to 164lbs in 6 months. Can now do 20 pull ups, 100 push ups, 50 leg lifts/squats. I'm in a happy place but getting the family to adjust their diets as well has been by far the most difficult part.
@@brianclark4713 im an Endomorph with insulin resistance and im celiac if i train 5 days a week (monday-friday) with strength training (PPL) AM and rowing machine PM, should i consume carbs before and after workout? I was thinking a glass of milk right before and right after both AM and PM workout.
Glad you said that people are different. I enjoy eating a moderately low carb diet, about 150 g per day. I also save my carbs till the end of the day, like after 6 to 7pm. This keeps my insulin sensitivity high all day. One day per week, generally Saturdays, I have a big carb day starting around 4pm till midnight. I'll eat 500 to 600 g of carbs, french bread with butter, pizza, ice cream, one or two beers. Yes, I'm four to five pounds heavier Sunday morning, but it's all mainly water retention. Once I get back to my regular diet, all that weight is peed out by Thursday. I've been eating this way for over 7 years, all my labs are great, I can deadlift 455lbs for three reps, and I'm 67 years old.
@Frederick Navarro, Sounds like you have a great plan that works for you. Thinks for sharing.
I think a re feed day is always good. Like a replenishment once a week
are you over weight?

I lost over 50lbs in three months doing healthy keto and intermittent fasting. One meal a day and I don’t get hungry. I keep carbs around 30g and under 50g in general. I get my carbs from leafy greens and nuts. I try to keep my fat intake high. About 70% of my calories. I’m fat adapted and my body uses fat as fuel rather than carbs. It’s truly the secret to body fat loss. I wouldn’t do this diet to build muscle, but the point is to lose weight and it works fast and easy.

@J G Could you please elaborate on that or point on the right direction? Thnx
Okay so.. if you carry more fat than lean muscle tissue, at any weight.. than keto can have its advantages for sure. Because your body is like a warehouse of stored energy waiting to be distributed. This would also suggest (again assuming you have more fat than muscle tissue) you’re possibly carrying a surplus of sugar in your blood also. You need to spend that stored energy before you can consider using carbs as a fuel source. I was over 320 lbs twice in my life and the second time around I did research and applied it to my body as I went along with my progress. So with a bit of intermittent fasting and a low carb (keto) diet.. you can build muscle and lose weight at the same time, (this is in fact the best time to do both) which is why it’s easier to progress with your gains/loses at the start of your transformation. In time, you will notice the lean tissue take over the fattier parts of your body, and hopefully, you will eventually get to a lean figure (assuming you want to be lean and not bulky) and this is when weight loss becomes more difficult. All the stored energy in your fat cells are depleted or for the most part anyway, so now your need to go about reformatting your diet and consider using carbs to get leaner (sounds sketchy but very true) and have the energy to finish your training sessions without feeling like your struggling to get any progress done. This is when you have to be SMART about the type of carbs you take and how much you actually need to execute your desired physical performance/appearance . There is more details once your getting closer to 15% or less body fat, like what kind of hypertrophy, and progressive overload your gonna undergo etc.. but putting everything else aside. Strictly speaking about carbs, it’s complex carbs( rice, oats, potatoes) over simple carbs (cereal, candy, processed sugars) you really need to be eating for training purposes. Yes, you can eat simple sugars but that’s gonna be stored mostly in your liver (as fat) rather than in your muscle tissue (fuel, definition). Once your training upwards to 90 minutes a day, resistance training, cardio, heavy weights etc.. this is when those carbs are essential in my opinion. But again, knowing how many your gonna need is a trial and error situation per individual, and what you wanna look like.. (Bruce Lee, Arnold swartzenegger, or something in between). You also have to give your body time to absorb said carbs, I personally eat complex carbs 90 min or more prior to my workouts to allow digestion and distribution into my muscle tissue. But if it’s simple carbs, I only do cereal that’s high in fiber but candy bars (w/e) also, can be eaten roughly 30 min prior to a workout so it’s a quick energy boost and can be burned up quite easily if your doing a serious training session. So the leaner you get and the more shredded you want to be, Keto diets become useless and often hurt your gains because storing fat at a leaner build won’t get you the shredded physical appearance, especially if your trying to get visible abdominal tissue. People tend to overdo the fat consumption anyway, like eating all kinds of bacon and butter? If your over 15% body fat.. this is just gonna keep you from seeing more positive results. I’m not a doctor, or a certified blah blah blah.. I’m just someone who has effectively changed my physique after going through some serious shit that put me in a position where I needed to make some serious life decisions or.. ☠️☠️☠️. If you read this all the way, thanks for not wasting my time.
@@InsendoChavero and here I was wondering why the results have slowed down drastically and why I was feeling depleted rather quickly while working out. In other words don't fear the carbs but be smart about them.

I've been having great success with carb cycling, that is I eat high carbs on training days and then almost keto on the off days and I've been shedding crazy weight
This is a true lifestyle method
might be even better to carb up the day before workout and go keto on workout days.
Staying off carbs help me with crippling inflammation in my joints, the pain virtually left me soon after I started, seriously best thing I ever did
Exactly this guy is fucking insane lmao 300-500g a DAY!!! Thats insulin resistance to the max...
I don't doubt it. I saw increased energy levels and muscle mass as soon as I stopped eating rice every evening and swapped it for vegetable salad instead.
Exactly
@@Jacob011 ur right bro, everyone's body is not one size fits all so you can't treat it all the same.
For me, it was cutting out sugar. Anything with sugar gives my joints pain and inflammation. As soon as I cut that out, I lost weight, built muscle and gained a lot of energy. Carbs were my go-to replacement for sugar. It can help some people.
With all due respect, I disagree with the notion of "long-term" success and sustainability focus. From my own experience and those of my friends, short-term weight lost due to insulin/cortisol reset does not tend to come back. My situation was this: ate extremely badly until I was 18-19, quite overweight at around 100KG+; started going to the gym, lifting weights and did positive (but not extreme) alterations to my diet for about a year and a half, gained some muscle but did not lose much weight, still feeling terrible about my physique and quite close to giving up the gym due to little results. Decided to do a brutal low-carb diet for a month and a bit, which included 1 cheat day a week (definitely not a sustainable diet), ended up losing 15KG, went back to my normal diet. 5 years later the weight has not returned. I firmly believe that short-term diet is what a lot of people need to snap out of the vicious cycle of "no matter how hard I try, I will always be fat anyway". When you see real change, you start believing and can continue on a positive track.
I feel best when eating low carb, but I do enjoy healthy carbs, i.e. sweet potatoes, oatmeal, bananas, etc.

Yes. This. I’m surprised that people are surprised to hear what a “carb high” is. I discovered this phenomena while in college because A.) I had more free time around lunch than in highschool and B.) was quite poor while attending my university influencing me to have a hefty diet of the McDonald’s dollar menu food. Those high carb meals spike your sugar levels, and drastically lower it within an hour, leading to unhealthy habits
@@birdswakeme651 That's because you were eating like 300 carbs and 1000 plus calories in one meal at McDonald's. Fast food is extremely high in carbs, fats, calories. Eat healthy carbs like sweet potatoes, vegetables, fruits. Eat lean meats. Stop eating fast food. The problem is right in your comment. People eat McDonald's 2 or 3 tines a day. Sit on their asses all day. Then go home and sit in front of the TV on their asses. Then they want to blame shit like carbs for being fat when it's their lazy ass lifestyle. Common sense is hard to come by these days 🙄
I've found that carb cycling works best for me to lean out while still keeping muscle. Fri-Sat are high cal / carb days, sun - Thurs are low cal / low carb days. Too many carb days in a row makes me softer. Love your content Jeff
@Papo Nack carb loading on the weekends is probably the way to go.
I am started to do that bc I learned in another video that after you go low carb for several days, at first you burn body fat but then you taper off so you need carbs again to shock your body levels.
I am very disciplined so I don't care what I have to do, how little carbs I can have...all I care about is the most effective way to burn as much body fat as possible!

This is too complex a subject to cover in a youtube comment.
So I'll try to drive a few simple points.
1. Metabolism is hugely different between people, and the same "plate" will affect people differently.
2. Different activity levels WILL mean different nutrition plans (for the same person), aka different macros.
3. Your wholesome advice will probably work for most people, especially people who are working out regularly
4. Some people, even though they're extreme athletes (notably Tim Noaks) still become diabetic, which leads me to my most important point
5. The effects of macro ratios on a person do not have to do with their caloric disparity as much as their endocrine effect.
Stating that fat is twice as dense calorically than carbs is so outdated and out of step with current metabolic understanding.
We are not an internal combustion engine and we do not process calories like engines. The hormones are the most important factor in regard to metabolism and not your food's caloric density.
I've been low carb for over 3 years, and can attest to the (n=1) fact that consuming 60 to 80 percent of my calories from fat keeps me lean.
6. Balance is key. Control is key. Attention to how our own bodies react to different foods and stimuli is key.
Never stick to a label. Investigate, research, and test your body's reaction to food all the time.
Excellent response. I love jeff, but nutrition is not an exact science and sometimes these trainers like to step outside their wheelhouse. Weight gain is typically a hormonal thing and not a caloric thing, like you stated. Thank you for your input. Well said.

Thank you for being respectful. I have tried several times to control weight with a well rounded calorie restrictive diet with minimal success and each time, less and less effective. (Lowered my base metabolic rate each time) Keto/low carb has been the only thing to give me lasting weight loss, muscle gain and control over my insulin resistance, increased cognitive sharpness and zero sluggishness and energy crashes. I'm 51 and haven't felt this good or had healthy blood labs like this in 20 years.
I’ve been consistently keto for over a year now, but no one can argue with your diet techniques. It’s very clear they work.
Agreed, but I don't understand how anyone can hate on keto or call them keto crusaders. There are countless success stories from people using that diet. Not for me, but it clearly works

@Bernd DasBrot "humans didn't eat carbs in any relevant quantity" ???
Many early humans have been known to eat tons of carbs, with as much as 250g of fiber per day. That is an absolute fuck ton of fiber.
@Bernd DasBrot and you do? LOL wannabe Nutrition genius.
@Bernd DasBrot if you really think the majority of early humans weren't eating a lot of carbohydrates you are delusional. Sure there are some outliers that couldn't find anything but meat because of their environment, but most people were eating lots and lots of plants, including fruits.
The whole point behind keto and fasting is to repair the insulin resistance. Yes healthy carbs are better than refined carbs. It's all about understanding the purpose behind keto and fasting. If you never screwed up your system then you might not understand. I'm 52 and I'm in way better shape than I was in my 20s since I started keto and fasting. Yes I would agree I need carbs but I have noticed I still have to keep it low carb . I feel much better
@@KeterMalkuth @Keter Here's a link to an article about a doctor who, in the 1950's, cured people of all sorts of serious ailments, like kidney and heart disease and/or failure, and even complete reversal of diabetic retinopathy. He's the guy you went to when all the other doctors sent you home to die. And he did it all by feeding his patients nothing but fruit, fruit juice, white rice, and table sugar. www.retinalphysician.com/issues/2008/april-2008/fifty-year-anniversary-reversal-of-diabetic-retin#:~:text=In%201958%2C%20Walter%20Kempner%2C%20a,regimented%20rice%2Ffruit%20dietary%20program.

It sent me down a rabbit hole of information and research. Quite fascinating stuff.
Here's an interesting article about how fat can cause insulin resistance and diabetes: "Fat in the bloodstream can build up inside the muscle cells, creating toxic fatty breakdown products and free radicals that block the insulin signaling process. No matter how much insulin we have in our blood, it’s not able to sufficiently open the glucose gates, and blood sugar levels build up in the blood. And this can happen within three hours. One hit of fat can start causing insulin resistance, inhibiting blood sugar uptake after just 160 minutes.
This mechanism by which fat induces insulin resistance wasn’t known until fancy MRI techniques were developed to see what was happening inside people’s muscles as fat was infused into their bloodstream. That’s how we found that elevation of fat levels in the blood causes insulin resistance by inhibition of glucose transport into the muscles."

If that is the case then I am very proud of myself. That was exactly what I found was the most sustainable way to slim down
For the first time in my life i'm actually losing weight and being a healthier person thanks to your videos, Jeff. Thank you \OwO/
I went on a straight health food only diet a few years ago when I knew nothing about calories and macros and lost a ton of weight but also lost muscle, then went through bulking and half-assed cutting cycles, I put on muscle and fat on the bulk but I’d always end up failing when I came to consistently cutting fat. I did keto but I had no energy while working out, I tried to get on diets that really restricted my calories but I could only stay on it for a short while. I found some of Jeff’s videos a few months ago and finally started to consistently lose fat and am now on the right track to getting super lean.
Keto seems to work very well for people who are obese and have several dozen pounds to lose, for the average person i think a diet of meat and protein but also vegetables and carbs like fruit and grain is perfect, especially if you are working out; a slow consistent diet that doesn’t restrict calories so much that you fall off and end up gaining the weight back.
several things that i will stick to the keto-way is: I sleep better and i wake up like a million bucks, my mood never goes up and down, my focus is beyond good and i dont have any inflammation. I feel sooo much better!
i will never tell people that keto is the way to go, but it works for me. Like everything else in the beginning when you start something new, it will be hard, but you just have to get over it and you know/feel when things starts to fall into place.
100-150 grams a day is literally all I need. Period. I'm no fan of keto, but even when I'm not cutting, I rarely go over that number and it works for me very well
Been on keto for 87 days. Lost 54 pounds. Decided yesterday it was time to go off of it and start training my body to get ready for the building phase. Going to be avoiding sugars as much as I can. Started eating potatoes again which was weird. I just hate the bloated feeling that carbs give. But it’s time to make a change for long term success. Thank you for this video.
The bloat because your body may not yet be accustomed to the FIBER CONTENT.
I tried Keto and just can't see how all the fattening food consumption is good for long term health.
Propably isnt healthy longterm. But if u dont only consume animal fats, but also fats from plants it is totally fine.
But Keto is great if u want to loose fat shorterm. Just dont switch from Keto to normal too quick, because of the Yoyo-effect.
You're feeling bloated because you ate too much you need to look up online what the serving size is then scale all your food by grams. It will help prevent you from overeating. Only eat sugar from natural fruits and try to buy your fruit and veggies at the Farmers market
Hey James can I ask what the problem was with your keto diet? It sounded like it was working for you. What was not working for you with it?
Me: So how many grams of carbs should I have in a day?
Jeff: I’ll make a video on this, but it’s simple. Counting your carbs is killing your gains
“keto crusaders” lmaoo
Lmao

Keto "followers".
So this is what they mean by "the talk"
I did keto to drop 30 lbs and it worked great. Having said that I tried to stay on it and my work outs sucked and I was depressed. I was at a point of maintaining my weight and it really was some of the weakest work outs I ever had. I include carbs now and everything is right in my life.
Is it good to drink 1 glass of milk before and after workout? Milk has carbs
People who are metabolically broken have compromised pancreases. Two thirds of Americans are prediabetic. Some people have food addictions. For those who are metabolically healthy, low fat high protein with some carbs works. For those prediabetics, the low carb seems to be sustainable. Look at the Virta health trials for diabetes reversal. They are on the third year. Two thirds stopped their insulin.
I'd say the prediabetics problem is more processed foods and refined sugar. Safe, natural carbohydrates taken with protein and fat should be fine. Now, I'm not rubbishing a low carb diet. I do at least one day a week where I eat no starch at all and I find that very beneficial, and I think for actual diabetics it's a good option. For most people though, oats, sweet potato, rice, vegetables - all good.
Syklone It depends on how well their pancreas recovers. Some people have beta cell death and will have less function, for others, the cells will recover and they can eat natural carbs as you have described.
@@Syklonus I mean I in general feel much better and satisfied on a ketogenic diet, but I also do mix in green vegetables without worrying about it. At this point keto has become popular enough that I dont feel like Im missing out on much.
Dickgirl Nationalist That is not true based on research. The best example is Virta Health. Now on the third year of their clinical trials. Sixty six percent elimination of insulin in patients. You can do your own test using a continuous glucose monitor. It’s a secondary measure (doesn’t measure insulin but does measure the result). Consuming fat results in nearly zero glucose response, protein causes slightly elevated response and carbs cause large spikes. I agree that all processed foods and seed oils are even worse.
I was just about to write a similar comment. I 100% agree with you

I’ve noticed a significant difference when reducing complex carbs... weaker and less happy and less satisfied

It's true but I think because the body finds it more tiring to burn stored fat, rather than newly eaten carbs. I think the bulking (carbs on demand) / cutting (reduce carbs) routine works well enough and is sustainable for most in the long term.
@Brandon S you make no logical sense. We need fuel for our body, otherwise we feel weak, malnourished, and eventually just die.
Thats interesting when i was doing extremely low carbs basically trying to cut out all sugars i felt great lost fat fast and mentally clarity improved as well. But I agree that in the gym weight lifting suffered slightly, I felt slighty weaker like i didnt have that extra gear and the end of sets like i did when eating carbs.
@@vitaminb4869 It makes sense just fine. Carbs isn't the only source of fuel our body uses, it's perfectly capable of oxidizing fats or proteins if needed. That said I don't subscribe to "You have to stick to a Paleo diet", besides the fact that nobody agrees on what that means exactly nobody's eating exactly like the time period it supposedly refers to because we no longer have access to the same food sources.

You can tell Jeff really cares about his viewers. I love videos like this.

You say you have done keto before which implies you are not now. If you aren't doing keto now doesn't that mean that you are already eating carbs? So what then did this video help you decide? Decide to eat even more carbs. 3 months and 30 pounds later you will rethink some more.

Yeah eliminating carbs just makes my weight yo-yo drastically, since I always go back to yummy carbs.
We need carbs for the cells in our brain and body. I eat 300g everyday and drop fat consistently. I eat less fat more fruits and veggies to lose weight.
I love it and I can keep it up for life.
That's not true. You don't actually need carbs. You only need fat and protein. However, in the end it is calories in and calories out, so if you eat a high percentage of carbs but not too many calories, it can still work.
@@benpeeples4265 you do you and see what happens. every cell in your body needs sugar from fruits. ketones are toxic in the blood. again just do you I’m not listening to this bad advice bc I know it’s wrong.
@@riricarter8050 Ketones are toxic to your body ? Where did you get that information, professor ? Breastfed babies are usually living on ketones for several months, if ketones were toxic then babies wouldn't have grown to be a toddler. Secondly, there's essential fatty acids and amino acids, there's no such thing as essential carbs. Body makes glucose via gluconeogenesis from non-carb substrates like protein, so we don't need to eat sugar from fruits, but do you man and cells need cholesterol not sugar.

Birthday and thanksgiving 😁🍻🍗
thats my week
Fella, you have saved the day!!!🎉🎉🎉 I am an over 50 woman dealing with hormonal weight. My fitness guide says I need more carbs than protein and fats, which had me shook. I was about to start a Keto plan. I came to RUclips and you blessed my day. I am typically a hard candy eater, so I am doing a detox from refined sugars. I figured I needed to go Keto for that. Keto makes me feel yuck. I love veggies and healthy starches, but Keto frowns on that. Now I have the solution, thanks to you. My fitness app says I need 55% Carbs, 25% fats, and 20% protein to lose weight. Now, this all makes sense.
Saw a documentary about how mixing fat with sugars (carbs) is a lot of why we over eat, an. Example of that would be that
500ml of Coke: 200 calories , 500ml of Ben & Jerry’s ~800 calories
(I know it’s not the best example since Coke is a drink and is still bad for you in terms of messy blood sugars but it highlights how much a difference different food choices can have)
Nah that’s not true at all. It’s actually the opposite. The problem is carb sources where most of the carbs from from a sugar source aren’t satiating therefore leaving you hungry and leading you to overeat
Your body reacts to sugar by releasing insulin, the spikes are what makes you hungry. I used to eat a lot of carbs and be full, but then a few hrs. Will go by and felt dizzy and tired, and my blood sugar will be low, despite not being diabetic, is because my body released insulin to deal with the crap I ate. It doesnt not happen with fat or protein for me.
darklausal23 you’re right. But it’s not the spike in insulin that causes fat gain despite how many people falsely believe it does
Really, Coke shouldn't be classified as a drink. With all that sugar and other stuff in it, it might as well be considered liquid candy.
@@darklausal23 Same! I am fairly lean and always have been so I think my insulin is working just fine. But, if I eat a high carb breakfast, even a healthy one for example, within about 2 hours I am hungry, shaky, light headed and feel like crap. If I have eggs and veggies I can stay full and feel great for closer to 4 hours and not suddenly feel like I need to eat a truckload of things ASAP to feel better. I don't eat NO carbs but I need to be careful.
Never thought about eating food in a different order to avoid dulling the feeling of being full. Awesome tip.
This guy has done more good and brought more happiness to people than almost anyone.
When I eat carbs I feel hungry all the time. When I avoid them my appetite stabilizes and I have peace of mind.
Not all carbs are the same. Sounds like you are talking about simple sugars as opposed to complex carbs. Oatmeal is famous for keeping you satisfied and fueled even if lunch time is delayed.
@@someguy2135why not till dinner?
@@larryputra3692 Go ahead and eat a lot of meat and fast until dinner. I would rather have the benefits of a vegan compatible diet centered around whole foods, like a lower chance of several of the top chronic deadly diseases. The largest organization of nutrition professionals officially declared- "It is the position of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics that appropriately planned vegetarian, including vegan, diets are healthful, nutritionally adequate, and may provide health benefits for the prevention and treatment of certain diseases.
These diets are appropriate for all stages of the life cycle, including pregnancy, lactation, infancy, childhood, adolescence, older adulthood, and for athletes. Plant-based diets are more environmentally sustainable than diets rich in animal products because they use fewer natural resources and are associated with much less environmental damage.
*Vegetarians and vegans are at reduced risk of certain health conditions, including ischemic heart disease, type 2 diabetes, hypertension, certain types of cancer, and obesity.*
Low intake of saturated fat and high intakes of vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes, soy products, nuts, and seeds (all rich in fiber and phytochemicals) are characteristics of vegetarian and vegan diets that produce lower total and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol levels and better serum glucose control. These factors contribute to reduction of chronic disease. Vegans need reliable sources of vitamin B-12, such as fortified foods or supplements." -Full abstract from the position paper as found on PubMed from the National Institutes of Health
@@larryputra3692 The AND was citing the results of the Adventist Studies in regards to the chronic diseases they listed. The Adventist Studies also found that the only dietary group studied with an average BMI in the recommended range was the vegan group.

@@someguy2135 bruh,we were never supposed to eat that much sugar in the first place,vegans consume over 300 grams of carbs a day,and not only does that raise blood sugar,and prevents any sustainable weight loss,but also puts you at a higher risk for diabetes,high blood pressure,feeling hungry and moody if you skip a meal,besides humans need a lot of b12 and vitamin D and certain amino-acids from animal products,which is why cheese was made and other dairy products like yogurt and so forth,besides saturated fats by themselves are not the culprit,the real problem is the excess sugar in the diet,whether you get sugar from honey or potatoes or apples,it is still sugar regardless,so moderation is key,we need both animal products and plants and any exceds would harm you over time!
Appreciate you standing out of the massive keto-religion trend and “carbs are bad” - generalizations. You do excellent job to explain the differences between different sources and meanings of carbs. I loved the fact that you made clear points why we people DO need to include smart carbs into daily LONG TERM diet.
And the facts about carbs relation to certain hormones & mental-health is absolutely diamond! Of course we all can get lean in 4 weeks on keto, but if this cost one a social, mental and long term endurance and other life aspects, it is not really a health solution for a lifetime.
I find it’s important not only to realize a greate amount of micronutritions, that we consume with healthy carbs, but also a huge role of “carefree” social-life, wich eating brings to our everyday life.
If only we’d eat to live and not live to eat. 😉🤓

Underrated comment.
As an endomorph with a low carbohydrate tolerance, *Keto* has given me the best results regarding fat loss and muscle gain. Fortunately, I've always been a fan of eggs, beef, poultry, fish, and vegetables, so eating this way long-term has never been an issue. I simply increase my caloric and protein intake if I want to bulk; when I cut, I reduce my caloric intake and drop down to a solid 70% (fat), 25% (protein), and 5% (carb) macro split. This works perfectly for me, but it may not work well for others. It's crucial to know your body type and adjust your diet accordingly. There are no "one-size fits all" solutions regarding nutrition.
As a keto guy, I think this guy made a lot of sense. His whole argument is based on long term SUSTAINABILITY. To be clear, cutting carbs WILL help you lose weight. But, for professional bodybuilders and marathon athletes who are physically active ALL day long, including carbs will make the most sense regarding functionality.
Keto helped me get started with my weight loss journey. I lost my first 30 pounds with keto. Then I could start physically exercising, now my diet includes carbohydrates and I have stayed lean without Yo-Yoing back
Just go carnivore. Your body wasn't built to be a slave to potatoes and bananas.
Pa Tek congrats!! That‘s great!!!
Yeah I work on aircraft, and I’m constantly walking 15+ miles a day moving parts this and that. Plus I have to stay fit. There’s no fucking way I could go without carbs. I tried it. Hats off to the people who can
Good video - I’m on keto but not a fanatic. My main reason is I am high (very high) risk for Alzheimer’s. Insulin resistance and brain glucose seem to be contributing factors so I’m trying to fuel my brain with ketones. Losing weight is a side bonus. The problem is: yes, it’s a tough diet to sustain.
Now that it's been a year, how are you managing with keto?
Just quit keto after years and it negatively impacting my fibromyalgia and chronic fatigue. Yes I lost a lot of weight but made my chronic insomnia and fatigue 10times worse and negatively impacted my immune system and mental health, landing me in hospital. Have been vegetarian, Vegan and low carb for a couple years respectively in the past too...I've decided to quit all that because it never gave me energy and kept ending up in hospital.
I've decided to go opposite and go high carb (healthy carbs) for the first time in a decade and have never seen fat literally melt so fast off my body and quick muscle gains with training than ever before. Am so full of energy and mental clarity and improved my mental health/sleep drastically! I truly wish I'd started earlier and not experienced the negative impacts of all the other "healthy diets" that ruined my life!
sounds like you're in low carb. but not keto.. so your body never really enter ketosis maybe you're not eating fats or eating too much protein(you should get ketones test kit available in supermarket and test yourself in weekly basis) because when in your keto you shouldn't experience fatigue since fat is fueling you instead of carb

Man soo much value, i dropped 50 pounds from the Keto diet, but now its time for me to have a sustainable way of eating for my life and this is it! Thank you !
Thanks Jeff for another informative video! I would just like to add my two cents. As a middle-aged person, I came to realisation that the food that I enjoy the most is the food that I ate in my childhood. My granny was an amazing cook, and sure enough, there were plenty of carbs on the menu. However, that food shaped my palate and I realised that no diet will ever 'work', unless I incorporate the variants of those dishes from my childhood. We ate a lot of stews, soups, plenty of veggies. Those meals were very filling and made from good ingredients. Now I adapted those meals in a way that serves the purpose of my current diet. I don't lose weight very quickly (I am slightly overweight), but I like the way that my body is slowly changing, and I am happy overall! I think it is a good idea to add your favourite dishes on the menu, not as a cheat meal, but as an adapted variant that works well for your diet plan.
Very bad advice for most people. He’s unique in his carb tolerance. Grains are not healthy in any way. Lechtins, no nutrients, turn to glucose.
(We know because when young he ate m&m’s and sugar and junk food “like crazy” and was super thin. Only issue was he couldn’t build muscle.)
