In 1971, my college P.E. coach told me to get rid of the 5 pounds I had gained from high school to college was to “cut out the carbs”. I did, it worked. 1971 and it is still true today.
Yeah everybody’s sick of me too but now that I’ve dropped tons of weight (130 pounds) they all want me to coach them! Show and prove, I’ve even had a couple of coworkers apologize for gossiping and lying on me cause they didn’t believe that someone would actually stick to and succeed on a diet or really lifestyle change cause that’s exactly what I did.... change! If nothing else you got us!🌞💋💋
wooooww at leased they had the balls to say something. CONGRATS THO! wow inspiring! My friend keeps trying to feed my CRAP every time I turn around and she just told me the other day when I was blabbing about keto that shes scared Ill actually lose the weight and that she will still look the same, an im like "then girl do it too!" that didn't go over well. ha... anyway youre right half the time reading the comments motivate me more than anything!
Im Closet Keto. I only tell if I'm confronted. "No, i dont eat breakfast. No, i dont eat fruit often. Sorry, I'm really not hungry -at all- right now. I prefer to eat fat..." It just hasnt gone over well in the past. Blessings to all the Keto Evangelists... (by the way i am at my goal and lowest adult weight in 20 years, but i also do it for my brain)
What people mean when they say calories don't matter is that on keto your hunger is suppressed to the point where counting calories is usually not a necessary part of the strategy. If you just eat until you are satisfied it is unlikely you will put on weight.
The worst advice I got was "it doesn't work. " "it tried it and it was hard so it doesn't work." I may not be losing lots of weight fast but I feel better and it's a steady process. I've lost weight, slowly and as long as I'm eating good I'm not worried.
To me personally,it seems MUCH safer to make everything myself rather than consume any premade things like cookies,protrin bars,etc. Regardless of what the labels say,honestly a big company can put whatever they want in food and lie on the label...like Quest for instance. 12 lbs down since 6/1/18 thanks to you 2 and your advice,recipes and humor!! Love!😍😍😍
Any of that stuff stops my ketosis. I make my own stuff too. No artificial sugars. None. I think they trick my body into thinking it's having something sweet. Someone said you can eat whatever you want, as long as you watch your macros...which isn't true.
I get what you’re trying to do... but I feel your video is unclear. Maybe try placing a graphic that says “myth” before giving your “fact” to separate the skit from the “real talk” portion of your video. People new to keto May find this video very confusing because they aren’t aware of the myths. Maybe try adding the blue filter over the myth portion and adding a gold/warm filter over the truth. K.I.S.S.
Jaime Carrillo I’ve been doing keto for some time and I was confused by their skits too, maybe leave them out altogether, this video was much longer than it needed to be.
Jaime Carrillo I thought it was just me getting confused. It took me almost to the end of each myth to figure it out. A couple of them I'm still not sure of. Sarcasm can be funny, but not in this video.
Why would people judge cultured foods with active cultures in them. The live active cultures are so good for your gut and help with blood sugar control.
Adorable Adornments I think that was a part of a skit that was one of the wrong things people believe about keto. This video was confusing because they didn’t label the myth and the fact
naw now that s just not true, live culture swimming in an ocean of sugar and fruit do not help with blood sugar control unless your ideal of control is off the charts, they only help with digestion. if you wanna be keto and lose serious weight dump your yogurt out. or quite trying to push false info. thats what we have the FDA for.
I love watching your videos, that being on some of the points you raised I disagree with. The body's physiology does not know or understand anything about calories, it only understands micro-nutrients, Fats, Protein and Carbs. This is a known fact and has been studied in depth by Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Eric Berg. These gentlemen are doctor's who specialize the Ketogenic Protocol. They have helped hundreds of patients and the first thing they are adamant about is not to count calories.
You are twisting it, only because people say "don't count calories" doesn't mean they are saying "calories don't matter". If you are doing it properly eat until satisfied and there is no need to count.
No twisting here. There are some people on keto who do actually say "calories don't matter". I've seen it. And I think those people need to go back to Biology 101.
Very confusing video... You guys read Jason Fung's book "The Obesity Code" ? It's a must read and it explains the fat ratio vs carbs, proteins and how it helps. I think this presentation would be much clearer if you just said what it is the myth and then why it is a myth clearly. Thank you for your work though, you 3 are adorable :)
I am actually suprised that people who are doing keto are shitting to intermittent fasting🙄😯 mostly keto is the way how to make body act similar to IF. But I am pretty sure that IF is even more powerful than anything else and has a tons of benefit!
I agree. I've followed several nutritionists and medical doctors (which these guys clearly aren't) and they said you are a fat burning machine on intermitten fasting.
I really think it depends on the individual and the chemistry of their body, and it can change for an individual. I started with Atkins years ago and was very lazy/sloppy with it and the weight and inches still peeled off like magic for me. Those were the days! Not so much anymore. I had several catastrophic failures over the past five years because I got frustrated that things were not working the same as they used to. Even when I became super strict and counted everything I wasn't losing and would sometimes gain.This is partly due to the fact that I'm not a gym rat and even though I do 20 min of calisthenics and walking, I sit at a desk about six hours at work and more on the computer at home. I finally gave in and went to I.F. with the same amount of daily calories and BANG what an improvement! Not only in the weight and inches loss but in the way my body functioned and the way I felt. I even FEEL like doing more exercising. None of that is based on scientific evidence or anything I can directly measure as a correlation. It's completely subjective for me, but there does seem to be a positive effect for me...I can't speak for anyone else though, and I'm not suggesting it has the same effect for everyone. I'd like to hear from Megha and Matt in another ten or fifteen years and see if their opinion changes about I.F.
The key for us was to stop focusing on weight loss and totally focus on health gains like our blood sugar and pressure, skin, and energy! We don’t see this as a diet but truly a way of healing our bodies! 30 years of obesity isn’t going to be healed in a few weeks and I find that my old habits and mind set are the hardest things to overcome, the diet is easy. Love you two so much, keep up the amazing work. By the way we love your podcast too🌞💋💋
I’m glad you pointed out that people doing keto for therapeutic/medical reasons do need to keep track of their ketone level. I do keto for epilepsy and aim for 86-87% fat, 9-11% protein, and 3-4% carbs. Weight loss isn’t a goal, but otherwise I agree. I started at a lower ratio, (basically lower fat and higher protein), and lost weight, but it didn’t help my seizures until I upped the fat to the 80 percentile.
Sandy Vandeventer your medical situation is the reason for the beginning of the ketogenic diet which has over a hundred (100) years of science behind it and if the so called experts would read the history of this diet then maybe so much stupidity wouldn’t be displayed..... then again Ron White said it best.. “just can’t fix stupid “
I disagree with the counting of calories. If you're doing Keto correctly, you won't eat as much as you want because you'll be too full. I stopped counting calories when I started keto 2.5yrs ago. In fact, after fasting we should feast- get in a lot of Nutritional foods. Because calories are not equally burned, since the body uses it for everything that keeps you alive, it's misleading to tell people to keep counting calories. That's why I love keto, it frees us from the bondage of counting calories. We have more control over an intake of macronutrients and how it affects our bodies, verses controlling how calories are used (we can't make our bodies burn calories in our gut only for example). Dr. Jason Fung explains it beautifully and yet, you had no scientific or medical reason to back your argument about counting calories on Keto. It's a really easy lifestyle, let's not complicate it.
Totally agree. Lost 60 lbs without counting calories. All the keto mayb eas really daunting in the beginning. I just tried to stay in my carb limit and did my best adding everything I've learned over the years from dieting.
SopranoJessi I feel so much more confused after watching this video like do I really need to plug every single little thing iam eating I don’t have time what if I forget to plug in what I ate i really want to try keto but I don’t know it’s so confusing.
I don't believe they said "count calories", they said "calories matter". Because of thermodynamics, that's a fact. If your metabolic rate for your status is 2,000 calories and you're eating 2,250, it doesn't matter whether you're on keto or not, you WILL gain a pound a week. What people are probably unrealistic about is the number of calories they were eating *prior* to doing the keto diet.
I don't count calories, but I've never been extremely overweight , i think maybe people that have eating disorders or mental hang ups about food may need to watch their caloric intake. I think exercise plays a big role esp for people that are obese, but people that are really heavy are in too much pain to exercise.
Matt is doing a disservice to many people stressing the calorie issue. He should read the obesity code so that he can understand the role that hormones play. That is why Keto is so amazing. Matt often says “I am not a Dr” Please Leave the science to Dr. Fung. Watch his video on The Diet Doctor.
Not everyone has hormone issues though ffs . I'm 55 and have been in full on menopause for a year . Guess what ? I'v lost 100 lbs in 6 months eating keto And I'm totally counting calories . I tried the not counting thing the 1st few weeks doing keto , only eating VERY strict keto foods too so don't even ask if I was eating the right foods lol, because I was and am 100%, I still over ate and gained weight. So the hormone thing does not apply to everyone and probably not to most Those of us who have significant weight to lose usually have problems with portion control and binge eating and eating when not even hungry. so telling us to not count calories is ignorant to put it nicely. Keto does not work the same on everyone and telling people to not count calories is really not wise .Nor does it work for everyone . That not counting calories thing may work for people who only have a few lbs o lose and don't really over eat to begin with But it doesn't work for Many many people who cant control their eating or the amounts
Yeah, but you make it sound misleading. He says that as his opening sales pitch all the time, but when he gets down into the details he admits the calories are fundamental in a couple of videos. It's fine though, because people tend to be in a defecit anyway with the lower hunger on a keto diet. It's not so much that calories don't matter, just that you don't tend to need to worry about them.
I disagree, I never recommend my Keto patients count calories, that is part of the old paradigm we have been working against! Having said that, I would welcome any data or research to back up your opinion. Plus we don't need to cause division within the Keto community. Not saying we can't have our own opinions and points of view, but we don't need to mock those do.
Telling obese people who eat 5000 or 10,000 calories a day its ok to NOT count calories is setting many up for failure, I can eat the same amount of calories in steak bacon and broccoli with butter as I can Non keto food Thus resulting in not losing weight . I restrict my calories to 1200 to 1400 a day and have lost 100 lbs in the past 6 months eating keto . I tried the no calorie counting thing the 1st 3 or 4 weeks and gained weight So that "dont worry about calories" does not work for everyone . and BTW Im 55 and have been in full blown menopause for a year or more So I call BS on the hormone thing too . Good news is I'm pretty sure Im done with menopause now lol Seriously though Keto doesn't work the same for everyone. Many obese people like myself have no control with amounts when eating, We eat out of boredom, and eat emotionally. So telling us to not count calories can be a slippery slope
From my experience the people who eat 5000 to 10000 calories a day are usually getting most of it from Carbs. Carbs affect your insulin levels, which can cause carb cravings and overeating. Fat calories do in fact cause satiety much quicker and feel fuller. Also you can loose weight because your in a calorie deficit, but that is not sustainable for the long term. I recommend reading the Obesity Code, by Jason Fung MD, that gives a lot of the science behind removing carbs from you diet as your primary means of becoming healthier, not just loosing weight.
Abra Rice Yes! Some of these supposed experts just won't admit they are wrong sometimes To many doctors out there that just don't get how a 400 or 500 lb Persons body and Mind works ,And that telling them calories don't matter is a recipe for failure for many of them . No way in hell I could have lost 110 lb in 6 months without counting calories and staying under 1500 . maybe that not counting calories thing works for people who don't binge eat or are already thin But it wont work for many morbidly obese
@@theresamcdowell8137 You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to think you can eat 5,000 calories just because someone said they don't matter. You don't have to count them but at the same time that doesn't mean you can eat 5,000 calories a day use some common sense.
Holy crap. I think you just answered the question that has been hounding me for months on Keto and have started many a facebook group fights when I ask it. Do I need to eat if I'm not hungry just to get in more calories? I eat when hungry I stop when full. My fat is 70% or higher. But my calories are perhaps 900. is this bad, should I make myself eat more. And you would not believe the arguments that happen when all the schools of thought on Keto come together for this question. It's nearly half and half that... No, do not over eat! Yes! You'll tank your metabolism, that's not enough calories. And I've never really had a good answer. I think I have it now!
One thing I dont think a lot of people have mentioned when it comes to starting off is the fact that excess carbs and protein dehydrate you. Breads and starches especially are very absorbent of any liquids surrounding them in the stomach, hence why its so tempting to reach for that nearby soda. Protein molecules generally need liquid to unwind and excess nitrogen from eating too much of it often causes kidney pain that's confused for thirst. All sodas (including diet ones) are heavily carbonated, which causes it to zip through the body and quench thirst quicker than anything else. That's why it can be so tempting to get one when you get say a chicken sandwich from the drive through; the bread, salt and lean chicken leave you feeling parched unless you get something that has added fat (say guacamole and bacon) and fills your hunger before you get to that point. Diet sodas are problematic to me because they'll ease the discomfort of eating foods you shouldnt be eating and enable you to eat them more. Drinks like tea and lemonade actually have helped wean me away from those kind of drinks and thus sodas as a whole. When you get into the swing of what you should be eating (less carbs, more rich meat like chicken thighs instead of chicken breast and wings) then you can wean off of those too.
There are actually videos by doctors with PhD's that countermand a lot of your opinions on this video. I'd say about 25% of this video was accurate/helpful. The rest, simply opinion. Thumbs down, sorry guys.
chaosmotion1983. Doctors? Like the ones who write the diet protocols for the American Diabetes Association who say people suffering from high blood sugar should consume high amounts of whole grains, beans and sweet potatoes? Yeah, those doctors really know what they’re talking about! 😂
chaosmotion1983 I agree. Those guys are great. And Keto Connect has done podcasts with both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg and I’d say based on those podcasts, they have a lot of respect for those men. Just slight disagreements like counting carbs in veggies. Nothing to get torn up about.
Can I call you guys M & M? U guys are great! I watch u all the time. You’ve saved me so much money by simply 1 just avoiding that marketing of buying ketones. Also I really love the way you’re stepping out of your zone and bringing in this next level of acting using separate LUTs to show it’s a commercial etc. GOOD JOB! I’ve bought your books she Megha -has a book too btw. (Y’all should advertise that more) love ya! Lost 15 lbs since June 1 but for me, that weight didn’t come off until last month. So your advice once was to “not give up” best advice ever!
jim s ~ Yes! And when I once heard Matt say in a video, "Trust the process," I found myself repeating that every time it took four days for the scales to change. I had to remind myself a few times in the beginning that I CHOSE to lose slowly. That wasn't my main objective. Now I'm wearing clothes I kept in storage that I wore 30 years ago. -- Hey. They're now considered vintage! lol
I have a different take on “calories don’t matter”. On every diet I’ve ever tried, my struggle was not getting ENOUGH calories. I ate lots of veggies and don’t eat gluten so I have very few pastas, breads, and other high calorie junk foods. I counted ww points and calories, etc but always struggled to get to my calorie goals. I was always well under. With keto, I’ve been hitting my macro mark for the last two months but I’ve continued to focus on hitting my calorie mark… EVEN IF I WASN’T HUNGRY! This is what I’ve always been told. As of yesterday, I heard you say that my hunger would go down when my body was being fed the right way. Of course this happened a few weeks ago but I was eating when I wasn’t hungry to hit a calorie goal. My current theory is that if every meal I eat is in the proper macro percentages, the calories don’t matter…. As long as I eat when I’m actually hungry and stop when I’m satisfied. I am only pointing this out because, while it seems obvious, it goes against what many of us have been told up until now.
One of the reasons I keep coming back is because y’all put out good information, but keep it entertaining. I loved this vid. I didn’t agree with 100% of what you said, but that’s the thing (and what I think you were trying to accomplish). There is no “absolute” black and white on most of the myths you debunked. But that’s not what others are saying. This is one of my favorite vids so far. Thanks for doing the work. It’s appreciated more than you know!
I am in a group, and we follow professor Tim Nokes, we do not count calories, we count macros...and everyone loses weight, we eat 100 grams of fat a meal, and yes we naturally do intermitten fasting. And yes we count carbs from vegies. And yes we do net carbs, and eat real foods.
My only slight issue with this is the "veggie carbs" section. I agree ALL veggies are not "carb free" (none really are), but for myself and my wife we feel that green cruciferous vegetables are not counted in our carb count - but things like onions, tomatoes (really a fruit), carrots, etc are. Non-green cruciferous vegetables have to fit in our 20g and under carb count.
These tips are told ALL the time omg! I’m glad you guys put this comprehensive list together also i appreciate the change in style of video but it’s soooo much longer than it needs to be lol
It's not that calories don't matter, but metabolic rate is partially determined by caloric intake, a feedback loop. You got it only partially right when you brought up the 100-calorie advantage for keto diets. The part you missed is the hormonal effect for those with extreme insulin resistance. For those folks with insulin levels always high (i.e., 30-40+), it will be nearly impossible to lose weight. Restricting calories will result in the body lowering basal metabolic rate, which reduces or eliminates the caloric deficit. Eating keto allows insulin to go low enough so that BMR doesn't have to drop.
Yep it sure can for some people , Even just the sweet taste in your mouth can spike insulin for some .That's why I only brush my teeth with baking soda until My eating window
It's a shame people are saying they don't understand this video, because I did and really enjoyed it. It was nice to see two people talking about their own experiences.
I don't believe in counting calories but calories do matter. If you are overweight don't go on a 4000 calorie keto diet and think you will lose weight and not living an active lifestyle.
So you're saying that pretty much 90% of what Delauer says in his videos (which focus on the benefits of intermittent fasting) are nonsense and a waste of time?
EVERYONE please - your own due diligence is a NECESSITY! RUclipsrs are doing videos to make money. Some are slick salespeople, some are genuinely sincere but may not have all their FACTS correct. It is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff; learn critical thinking & practice common sense.
It's a matter of opinion, chad metzger. Some advocate for, and some against, all forms of fasting. From what I've seen, keto can be successful either way.
Like someone said, this video seems to be more opinion oriented than factual. I watch a fair amount of their videos and they mean well but are also wrong about some stuff. I suggest watching Dr. Eric Berg, he seems to be the knowledgeable on keto and the body.
The problem with net carbs is the fact that food companies tell you how much fiber is deducted from the total carb count but they don't tell you WHAT type of fiber it is. Not all fiber is created equal. The best fiber for weight loss is viscous fiber. This is the fiber that sits in your gut gettin all sticky and gooey that your gut bacteria feeds on and keeps you feeling full longer. it's also the best fiber to lower your sugar levels.
Yeah a lot of false info especially with intermittent fasting. Also your body on keto burns more calories using fat for fuel than using carbs or sugar, IF also has a considerable increase in burning fat and calories, also calories are not created equal and calories from low carb foods and calories from sugar free foods get burned easier and more efficiently
They are absolutely right and anyone that's been doing this for a long time goes tgrough all those same things. Btw since you brought up Berg and Berry, trust me they all know each other and give about the same advice. I watch all of the regularly. The keto world is all connected
Oh dear I've failed then 2-3000 cals NO DEFICIT 80-90% from fats and I've lost 52lbs now. Keto is hormone control NOT a calorie deficit diet, they only work in the short term. I only control carbs and excess protein the two macros that spike insulin, for fat to do this you'd have to eat a HUGE amount!
Your body will not burn stored fat if it’s getting enough from your diet...why would it? You most certainly are utilizing more calories per day that you are consuming.
I think the intermediate fasting isn't important for most people. For people who have Type 2 Diabetes OR are insulin resistant... Try intermediate fasting your body will thank you.
Fasting cures a lot more than metabolic issues. It's kinda ridiculous how much it cures compared to what were told to do. Even simple acne is mostly cleared up by fasting. Hormone issues, general body pain etc. Fasting is for everyone as it's literally normal for us to do for our body composition.
My take on intermittent fasting is that it is another tool, together with Keto eating, that makes it easier to control calorie intake. I agree that it is pointless to eat anything you want in a reduced eating window (just like it doesn’t lead to weight loss if you eat anything you want as long as it is Keto). But when you IF, it is easier to eat less because it reduces hunger. Put them both together and .... wow!
Same. Especially for people with diabetes or prediabetes. Fasting heals you by lowering insulin for long periods of time, which will help those people lose weight. If you are already thin and healthy it may not matter as much, but that is not true for a lot of us. You don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. And Fasting gets you healthy and makes you lose weight. You guys may have lost me with this.
@@Twiznoy They are not trolling intermittent fasting as such but they simply saying calories still matter in that if you eat 2000 calories a day and fast, and I eat 2000 calories and dont fast, there would not be any difference in terms of weight loss. I am on OMAD, and totally agree with them. When I started with 2 meals a day intermittent fasting on a 6hr eating window doing strictly 20,000 steps a day without fail which consisted of 1 hour non-stop running first thing in the morning, I would eat more during the 6hr eating window than when I was not fasting. When I realized after 3 months that I was not loosing weight, I gave up sugar including fruits, and ate very low carb foods (lettuce, cauliflower and broccoli) and more fats (fatty nuts and seeds, fatty meats, avocado, lots of eggs, MCT oil, extra virgin olive oil). I adopted a low carb-high fat diet with zero fruits but its not a keto diet since I do not track my macros or strictly count calories. I already know what is healthy/unhealthy and no longer crave junk foods. I eat less than 2 handfuls of a meal. I used to suffer from brain fog and migraines but they have been gone since I started the diet. I always have tons of energy, clarity of mind and my skin is even prettier. I do not take any supplements but intend to start soon. My everyday drink is lemon water with himalayan salt, apple cider vinegar, and erythritol to sweeten and 1 cup of coffee with half a teaspoon of cinnamon, half a teaspoon of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of MCT oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee or olive oil) with my meal. I eat at 12 midday and I am full until the next day, and have been loosing weight like crazy. I started the diet in June 2019 and I have lost 55 pounds. My body is getting trimmer and my tummy is super flat. I have even stopped running. I walk a lot at work. I watch what I eat since calories definitely matter.
Me and my girlfriend have been doing keto for a month now and your videos helped us out SOOOOOO much! Thank you guys for helping us become more informed! We are already have noticed a HUGE difference in how we feel!
Have you seen Stephe Phinney? He often refers to a study, I think he even done this more than once. But its like one group on a fat reduced study, with reduced calories, the other is put on a keto diet and told to "eat to satiety" and the keto still loses most. I think thats where "calories doesn't matter" comes from. Sure, if you overeat, it does matter, but you don't have to count calories to be successful on keto.
Just because intermittent fasting didn't work for you guys doesn't mean its not the proper way to go about keto and that the health benefits aren't legit because "you don't think so"... lol I'm so annoyed this is on your "Worst keto advice" Really guys
cavv I didn't see your comment before I made mine. I agree 100%. They show their ignorance this is the last video I'll watch with them. There are too many others out there who reads a research before they start spouting their own beliefs.
skjoett93 - yup! THATS what they said. Eating in a small window and eating cake and Big Macs is NOT keto. Not healthy. Intermittent fasting by itself is just not eating all day long.
I’ve lost 30 pounds with intermittent fasting and it has been the easiest way to lose my baby weight from having three kids. Don’t knock something until you’ve actually tried it. It works!!
yes! lol nailed it on so many of these! Yes Calories Matter, No IF doesn't help build muscle or have a metabolic advantage. Exogenous ketones are useless. Good stuff! Soooo many myths, including protein turning to glucose by GnG when its a demand driven process.
Im the not keto food guy , why? Because the carb amount you consume in a day is way less important than the Glycemic Index , you can eat 30 carbs of almonds or cream and you have way more chances to stay keto than 30g of dextrose or maltodextrin they Glycemic Index is higher than sugar or glucose itself.
From what I've read, intermittent fasting's benefit is that it helps you stay in ketosis easier. You won't necessarily lose more weight but you won't get out of ketosis if you go a little over in your macros
Finally somebody spoke the truth. I’ve been doing IF 16/8 for at least 6 months now. In the first month I did lose about 10-15 lbs, but eventually I’ve gained it all back. So, IF is a pretty subjective thing. As far as “calories don’t matter” slogan goes, I’d say that calories DO matter. Because, I personally started gaining weight on Keto. So I do have to count calories. I try to stay around 1000 Net Calories / day (non-Keto). Again, it seems like I’m back to square one: Calories In Calories Out.
The advise I have one friend continue to tell me is because I am not dropping weight in large chunks but rather at a steady 1 pound a week, that I am doing something wrong. They do not take into account the fact that I am a diabetic with other various medical problems that do slow weight loss for me.
Danguardace17 does your comment mean that you like this video are you did not like this video, forgive me in advance I did not quite understand what you were saying.
Sorry in advance for the novelette... but, Let's see if someone has the answer for this (me): I'd truly appreciate it. (for fat loss purposes) 1. Started keto at 185lbs, around 14% bf. (I am a boxing/martial arts practitioner) 2. Ate 2,700 maintenance kcal daily for the first 10 days. 3. Dropped down to 1,950 kcal on rest day/2,600 kcal on lifting days rotation. I ate no more than 30 net carbs each day, kept fat at a decent range and protein just enough to support my strength in the gym. I ate only whole foods, and drank only water, bengal spice tea or black coffee. Result - I remained the exact same weight after 3 weeks, but my midsection shrank continuously, with abs popping and my strength sustainable. (still deadlifting 405lbs for 20 reps, squatting 310 for 10 reps, 50lb pull-ups for 20 reps, etc.) And my skin looked super healthy and face structure chiseled. Yes, there is the 'flat' look to the muscles, but this I avoided by doing light carb ups on the weekends. Keep in mind that "being in strict Ketosis", is not that important to me, as I am in it for the carb cycling effect. BUT, what I'd like to know, is how can I go to eating at such a low calorie deficit and remain the same body weight...but obviously be losing fat, water, etc.?! Any ideas? In anyone's educated opinion...is this the definition of losing fat and gaining or sustaining muscle at the same time? (curious) As a side note, if I were to eat this low on a standard American diet, I'd shrink up, muscle and weight wise equally. In fact, I took a break from keto and went into a eating a maintenance phase (carbs included)... and I swole up looking thick and muscular, but actually dropped about 2lbs and immediately lost that slimmer looking waistline. Also, what was very apparent was that I skin (face) filled out quickly and I didn't have the same 'healthy' appearance as when eating the keto diet.
A lot of "I Believe" statements. Ok. Why would we take your word for it? Oh, and if you're gonna quote studies to prove your point, perhaps leave links or references to those studies.
@@ketolifestyle68 They've got a point. Some scientific rigor is all that differentiates the flat earthers from the rest. There are already tons of diet fads based on "I believe" statements. I agree with most of what they said, but still, confirmation and popularity bias is dangerous. Well meaning disinformation is still disinformation and a stronger foundation would be good for everyone.
I've had people tell me don't count your calories they don't matter just matters how many carbs you eat but when I downloaded the keto app. I noticed it told me I need to eat no more than a certain amount of calories so I ignored that and I'm sticking to my app and trying to eat just about 200 calories less than what my thing says
So something that spikes your blood sugar just like sugar does is ok? I thought one of the main points to keto is to keep blood sugar stable so it doesn't spike insulin which causes fat storage. Dextrose is horrible, many people who are diabetic have issues with this ingredient because of the glusose response. Disagreeing with the dextrose thing completely. It's sugar without being sugar. I would suggest anyone who eats dextrose to test their blood sugar after to see how they respond. I love your videos and admire your mission, but I've been finding that a lot of your videos are more opinion based and less science based.. Like how you said sucralose is ok in a previous video, without mentioning anything about the research that shows how sucralose effects gut bacteria. If your videos were more like how High Intensity Heallh's videos are, and much more science based, and not opinion based, it would just be better for everyone.
Most people will be fine eating a food with a negligent amount of dextrose or maltodextrin in it or even sugar for that matter . In things like bacon, breakfast sausage ,etc . You would need to eat multiple servings for it to affect you . All they are saying is if you happen to eat something with a negligent amount of either in it don't stress out about it and as long as you aren't eating foods everyday all day with them in it its OK
@@theresamcdowell8137 I understand that, but let's say someone is new to keto and sees this video, then thinks that they can have something sweet every day with those ingredients in it. Like, why not just encourage others to stick with real food and not foods with chemical substitutes? If your in a pinch that one thing, but like those sausages every day for breakfast wouldn't be recommendable, especially if your new and they don't go into details about these things
Oh I agree . No one should be eating processed meats etc everyday Or eating "keto" bars everyday . Its the same as many people thinking its ok to eat as much cheese or heavy cream as they want then wonder why they aren't losing weight. Just because the label says 0 carbs per serving does not mean there are 0 carbs . food companies are not required to put carb or sugar content on labels if grams are under 0.6 g per serving . All cheese and all heavy cream has 0.4 to 0.5 per ounce or serving lol. and those carbs in both are lactose which is sugar . All they are saying is its ok if you eat certain things once in a while that have these things in them , they aren't saying its ok to eat every day, all day at all
I went through all that some years ago, but when you are trying to lose fat by exercising a lot, you will be losing fat but you will also be losing muscle unless you are taking in about 150 grams of protein per day. I believe that fat to muscle loss when trying to lose weight is about 70/30. In other words you'll lose about 70% in fat and 30% of muscle. As much as those who are heavily into Keto suggest that you must make about 75% of your caloric intake as fat, but if you are truly trying to build muscle, you must cut down the fat and replace its calories with protein or else your muscles will atrophy regardless of the amount of stress you place on them with exercise.
I think a lot is about hormones. I have seen anecdotal evidence that people on SSRIs (which usually cause weight gain) often have a difficult time losing as much weight on keto, and also experience a worsening of depression/anxiety. I wish someone would do a legit study on it.
Elizabeth Gilbert EXACTLY, I don’t understand why the fuck people still believe in the calories in calories out BULLSHIT LIKE..if they knew how many calories a food had, the body does not know that The body reacts through hormones..... but ask it to those who inject steroids, WHY THEY DO IT? Because IT WORKS what angers me is that many of them support the concept of calories....So why do you inject hormones????? STUPID!!!!!!
+Elizabeth Gilbert check Dr Eades latest vid a few hours ago, he explains in great detail that it is not only about lowering carbs... Also Dr S Phinney is also great to follow.
IF is crucial to good health and healthy longevity. In fact, it would be interesting to measure one's Keto range during this period. I personally stop eating around 22:00 and start eating no earlier than 11:00. Not only do you boost your GH levels, but your body goes into a state of autophagy. It also makes it easier for me personally to maintain my testosterone levels.
I've been low carb and IF (18-6) for 6 months now. I started at 450 and am currently 369, but the last 3 weeks I've not lost any weight at all, and last week I gained 1.2 pounds. My caloric deficit should have equaled 12 pounds lost over the same amount of time. I eat 2000-2300 calories per day and hike 3 miles 3 days-per-week, 4.5 1-day-per-week, and 6 miles 1-day-per-week, with 2 days of no exercise. My BMR (sedentary) is currently at 3100 calories per day with an average caloric burning of 4700 through exercise per-week. The 4700 calories burned plus the 1000 calorie deficit from intake should equate to a loss of 3.34 pounds of fat, lost per week. I'm a 36 years-old and am 6'3" tall.
Random info - in my experience, there is no real difference in seizure control and high versus low ketone levels. As soon as the body is in ketosis the effect is felt. The same recipe prepared with 30 gms of "veg" oil will give you XL ketones on a pee stick and 7 seizures a day. 30 gms of butter gives you small ketones and 1-2 seizures a day. It's a difference in the efficiency of the LCT versus SCT as converted brain fuel and probably the inflammatory response accounts for the difference in the threshold (likely the insulating effect on the nervous system). From what I have seen the efficacy went from 90% in the 30's with mostly SCT to 50% in the 70's when it was MCT to the sadassed 25% today with Ketocrap's LCT corn oil. Using the pee stick is kinda like smelling around the car for gas to see what kinda mileage you get.
Can you guys please make a short version of this with #1-11 short titles and brief explanation? Seriously, 5 min. version of this video would be really nice....
I’m a dwarf standing at 4’7, and I’m a little over 200 pounds over weight, today I broke my fast close to 1 and had three small organic eggs scrambled with shredded cheese, and two pieces of bacon, to night having a green salad... am I doing ok?
This was my least favorite video that I've seen from you. I get sarcasm.. but it's more helpful to state the myth and counter it. Your sarcasm bled into your explanations and I really didnt know what the final message was on ANY of your tips 🤷♀️
Disagree with #3.... You cant eat & not excersize BUT it is beneficial. Less insulin spikes, more down time for fat burning, better circadian rhythms, autophagy if you do longer windows etc
In 1971, my college P.E. coach told me to get rid of the 5 pounds I had gained from high school to college was to “cut out the carbs”. I did, it worked. 1971 and it is still true today.
“spraying sweat on your body to simulate working out” I’m at the gym on the elliptical and laughed out SO LOUD‼️
I need a keto buddy. my friends are sick of hearing about it LOL
Reddit is a great way to Keto with others....
Keep talking to them. You'll win them over 😂. I feel like it's some sort of cult... that doesn't hurt anyone. :)
Yeah everybody’s sick of me too but now that I’ve dropped tons of weight (130 pounds) they all want me to coach them! Show and prove, I’ve even had a couple of coworkers apologize for gossiping and lying on me cause they didn’t believe that someone would actually stick to and succeed on a diet or really lifestyle change cause that’s exactly what I did.... change! If nothing else you got us!🌞💋💋
wooooww at leased they had the balls to say something. CONGRATS THO! wow inspiring! My friend keeps trying to feed my CRAP every time I turn around and she just told me the other day when I was blabbing about keto that shes scared Ill actually lose the weight and that she will still look the same, an im like "then girl do it too!" that didn't go over well. ha... anyway youre right half the time reading the comments motivate me more than anything!
Im Closet Keto. I only tell if I'm confronted. "No, i dont eat breakfast. No, i dont eat fruit often. Sorry, I'm really not hungry -at all- right now. I prefer to eat fat..." It just hasnt gone over well in the past. Blessings to all the Keto Evangelists... (by the way i am at my goal and lowest adult weight in 20 years, but i also do it for my brain)
What people mean when they say calories don't matter is that on keto your hunger is suppressed to the point where counting calories is usually not a necessary part of the strategy. If you just eat until you are satisfied it is unlikely you will put on weight.
Love the skits! You forgot about the people who start the diet and are mad they didn't lose 75 lbs in a week 🤣
Sonja Walter 😂😂😂
How does that fall under bad Keto advice?
Sonja Walter or like what am I doing wrong? I only lost 3 lbs and Susan lost 5.
Derek Shelton exactly!
Sonja Walter ~ Good one!
Would love for you to link these “bunches” of studies saying IF and non IF has the same amount of weight loss.
I couldn't help but to keep looking at the trees blowing in the background. So pretty!
The worst advice I got was "it doesn't work. " "it tried it and it was hard so it doesn't work." I may not be losing lots of weight fast but I feel better and it's a steady process. I've lost weight, slowly and as long as I'm eating good I'm not worried.
To me personally,it seems MUCH safer to make everything myself rather than consume any premade things like cookies,protrin bars,etc. Regardless of what the labels say,honestly a big company can put whatever they want in food and lie on the label...like Quest for instance. 12 lbs down since 6/1/18 thanks to you 2 and your advice,recipes and humor!! Love!😍😍😍
V true
actually no they can't put whatever on their label because if they get caught lying they will be in deep doo at least in the US
agree
Any of that stuff stops my ketosis. I make my own stuff too. No artificial sugars. None. I think they trick my body into thinking it's having something sweet. Someone said you can eat whatever you want, as long as you watch your macros...which isn't true.
@Raine have you found any videos from those who do cook and not eat processed foods? Other than breakfast :)
I get what you’re trying to do... but I feel your video is unclear. Maybe try placing a graphic that says “myth” before giving your “fact” to separate the skit from the “real talk” portion of your video. People new to keto May find this video very confusing because they aren’t aware of the myths. Maybe try adding the blue filter over the myth portion and adding a gold/warm filter over the truth. K.I.S.S.
Jaime Carrillo I’ve been doing keto for some time and I was confused by their skits too, maybe leave them out altogether, this video was much longer than it needed to be.
Jaime, I agree with you. Although I like the skits I would like more clarification at the end.
Jaime Carrillo was
Agreed. Too hard to differentiate which is the myth from not. They tend to blend together.
Jaime Carrillo I thought it was just me getting confused. It took me almost to the end of each myth to figure it out. A couple of them I'm still not sure of. Sarcasm can be funny, but not in this video.
Why would people judge cultured foods with active cultures in them. The live active cultures are so good for your gut and help with blood sugar control.
I've never seen or heard anyone say that cultures aren't keto. I'm pretty sure they just made that one up.
Adorable Adornments I think that was a part of a skit that was one of the wrong things people believe about keto. This video was confusing because they didn’t label the myth and the fact
naw now that s just not true, live culture swimming in an ocean of sugar and fruit do not help with blood sugar control unless your ideal of control is off the charts, they only help with digestion. if you wanna be keto and lose serious weight dump your yogurt out. or quite trying to push false info. thats what we have the FDA for.
@@marizensoul8410 the yogurt they showed is plain, with no fruit or sugar, which the are plenty of them out there...... lol
Mari ZenSoul yes indeed trust the fda.... that’s just funny right there.
My husband and I just started a Keto diet and this video totally confused me. 😢
But it's funny.
I'm far from an expert but seems like there's a bit of erroneous info here
Like the IF??
I love watching your videos, that being on some of the points you raised I disagree with. The body's physiology does not know or understand anything about calories, it only understands micro-nutrients, Fats, Protein and Carbs. This is a known fact and has been studied in depth by Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Eric Westman, Dr. Eric Berg. These gentlemen are doctor's who specialize the Ketogenic Protocol. They have helped hundreds of patients and the first thing they are adamant about is not to count calories.
I had a hard time following this . I had a hard time separating the sarcasm from the point. Maybe a summary at the end for us un hip folks
Kc Bakos yes totally agree
AGREED!
*It's crucial to know which pitfalls to steer clear of on a keto journey. Thanks for shedding light on these common mistakes.*
You are twisting it, only because people say "don't count calories" doesn't mean they are saying "calories don't matter".
If you are doing it properly eat until satisfied and there is no need to count.
No twisting here. There are some people on keto who do actually say "calories don't matter". I've seen it. And I think those people need to go back to Biology 101.

"It's similar to spraying sweat on your body to simulate working out." YES!
Very confusing video... You guys read Jason Fung's book "The Obesity Code" ? It's a must read and it explains the fat ratio vs carbs, proteins and how it helps. I think this presentation would be much clearer if you just said what it is the myth and then why it is a myth clearly.
Thank you for your work though, you 3 are adorable :)
I am actually suprised that people who are doing keto are shitting to intermittent fasting🙄😯 mostly keto is the way how to make body act similar to IF. But I am pretty sure that IF is even more powerful than anything else and has a tons of benefit!
So confused by your video, and what exactly is the green stuff?
"There's this big misconception, its been going around for bout 100 years now. " LMAO 😂😂 😂😂 😂
You guys continue to say IF doesn't work beyond calorie restriction. A lot of experts disagree. You seem to be discounting the insulin factor.
Dr. Ben Bickman 👏
I agree. I've followed several nutritionists and medical doctors (which these guys clearly aren't) and they said you are a fat burning machine on intermitten fasting.
i have lost 30 pounds in 3 months from if and doing lazy keto with about 4 or 5 cheat days in those 3 months 220 to 190
I really think it depends on the individual and the chemistry of their body, and it can change for an individual. I started with Atkins years ago and was very lazy/sloppy with it and the weight and inches still peeled off like magic for me. Those were the days! Not so much anymore. I had several catastrophic failures over the past five years because I got frustrated that things were not working the same as they used to. Even when I became super strict and counted everything I wasn't losing and would sometimes gain.This is partly due to the fact that I'm not a gym rat and even though I do 20 min of calisthenics and walking, I sit at a desk about six hours at work and more on the computer at home. I finally gave in and went to I.F. with the same amount of daily calories and BANG what an improvement! Not only in the weight and inches loss but in the way my body functioned and the way I felt. I even FEEL like doing more exercising. None of that is based on scientific evidence or anything I can directly measure as a correlation. It's completely subjective for me, but there does seem to be a positive effect for me...I can't speak for anyone else though, and I'm not suggesting it has the same effect for everyone. I'd like to hear from Megha and Matt in another ten or fifteen years and see if their opinion changes about I.F.
Yeah and autophagy rocks!
The key for us was to stop focusing on weight loss and totally focus on health gains like our blood sugar and pressure, skin, and energy! We don’t see this as a diet but truly a way of healing our bodies! 30 years of obesity isn’t going to be healed in a few weeks and I find that my old habits and mind set are the hardest things to overcome, the diet is easy. Love you two so much, keep up the amazing work. By the way we love your podcast too🌞💋💋
I have found that focusing on my health is what made it stick for me too.
Net carbs! Dont put plans under microscopes, just NET CARBS! Lol omg, dying. That was good. Love the skits!! x
I’m glad you pointed out that people doing keto for therapeutic/medical reasons do need to keep track of their ketone level. I do keto for epilepsy and aim for 86-87% fat, 9-11% protein, and 3-4% carbs. Weight loss isn’t a goal, but otherwise I agree.
I started at a lower ratio, (basically lower fat and higher protein), and lost weight, but it didn’t help my seizures until I upped the fat to the 80 percentile.
what do you mean when you eat 86% fat? I'm finding it hard to find a way to eat so much fat...
Sandy Vandeventer your medical situation is the reason for the beginning of the ketogenic diet which has over a hundred (100) years of science behind it and if the so called experts would read the history of this diet then maybe so much stupidity wouldn’t be displayed..... then again Ron White said it best.. “just can’t fix stupid “
I’m literally about to walk into church, but I just want to watch this before going in lol

I disagree with the counting of calories. If you're doing Keto correctly, you won't eat as much as you want because you'll be too full. I stopped counting calories when I started keto 2.5yrs ago. In fact, after fasting we should feast- get in a lot of Nutritional foods. Because calories are not equally burned, since the body uses it for everything that keeps you alive, it's misleading to tell people to keep counting calories. That's why I love keto, it frees us from the bondage of counting calories. We have more control over an intake of macronutrients and how it affects our bodies, verses controlling how calories are used (we can't make our bodies burn calories in our gut only for example). Dr. Jason Fung explains it beautifully and yet, you had no scientific or medical reason to back your argument about counting calories on Keto. It's a really easy lifestyle, let's not complicate it.
Totally agree. Lost 60 lbs without counting calories. All the keto mayb eas really daunting in the beginning. I just tried to stay in my carb limit and did my best adding everything I've learned over the years from dieting.
SopranoJessi I feel so much more confused after watching this video like do I really need to plug every single little thing iam eating I don’t have time what if I forget to plug in what I ate i really want to try keto but I don’t know it’s so confusing.
Soprano
I don't believe they said "count calories", they said "calories matter". Because of thermodynamics, that's a fact. If your metabolic rate for your status is 2,000 calories and you're eating 2,250, it doesn't matter whether you're on keto or not, you WILL gain a pound a week.
What people are probably unrealistic about is the number of calories they were eating *prior* to doing the keto diet.
I don't count calories, but I've never been extremely overweight , i think maybe people that have eating disorders or mental hang ups about food may need to watch their caloric intake. I think exercise plays a big role esp for people that are obese, but people that are really heavy are in too much pain to exercise.
“If you eat something...it counts” Awesome episode!!
IF does work well with keto. I'm hoping you were just being sarcastic. Lol.
@rxp56 less insulin so yes
Matt is doing a disservice to many people stressing the calorie issue. He should read the obesity code so that he can understand the role that hormones play. That is why Keto is so amazing. Matt often says “I am not a Dr” Please Leave the science to Dr. Fung. Watch his video on The Diet Doctor.
Not everyone has hormone issues though ffs . I'm 55 and have been in full on menopause for a year . Guess what ? I'v lost 100 lbs in 6 months eating keto And I'm totally counting calories . I tried the not counting thing the 1st few weeks doing keto , only eating VERY strict keto foods too so don't even ask if I was eating the right foods lol, because I was and am 100%, I still over ate and gained weight. So the hormone thing does not apply to everyone and probably not to most Those of us who have significant weight to lose usually have problems with portion control and binge eating and eating when not even hungry. so telling us to not count calories is ignorant to put it nicely. Keto does not work the same on everyone and telling people to not count calories is really not wise .Nor does it work for everyone . That not counting calories thing may work for people who only have a few lbs o lose and don't really over eat to begin with But it doesn't work for Many many people who cant control their eating or the amounts
Theresa McDowell if you have been in a state of me menopause for a year then you have other problems
...
Greg Fox once in the state of menopause, it lasts until death dumbass...you don’t come back from it
I agree with Dr. Berry... he says not to worry about calories !!!
And every other educated and trained"doctor"that has simulated test studies.
Yeah, but you make it sound misleading. He says that as his opening sales pitch all the time, but when he gets down into the details he admits the calories are fundamental in a couple of videos. It's fine though, because people tend to be in a defecit anyway with the lower hunger on a keto diet.
It's not so much that calories don't matter, just that you don't tend to need to worry about them.
he is wrong on that one, sorry.
I love your channel you guys but thanks god you don’t rely on acting for a living! 😂😂😂

michael smith agree! Best Keto channel on RUclips.
I disagree, I never recommend my Keto patients count calories, that is part of the old paradigm we have been working against! Having said that, I would welcome any data or research to back up your opinion. Plus we don't need to cause division within the Keto community. Not saying we can't have our own opinions and points of view, but we don't need to mock those do.
Telling obese people who eat 5000 or 10,000 calories a day its ok to NOT count calories is setting many up for failure, I can eat the same amount of calories in steak bacon and broccoli with butter as I can Non keto food Thus resulting in not losing weight . I restrict my calories to 1200 to 1400 a day and have lost 100 lbs in the past 6 months eating keto . I tried the no calorie counting thing the 1st 3 or 4 weeks and gained weight So that "dont worry about calories" does not work for everyone . and BTW Im 55 and have been in full blown menopause for a year or more So I call BS on the hormone thing too . Good news is I'm pretty sure Im done with menopause now lol Seriously though Keto doesn't work the same for everyone. Many obese people like myself have no control with amounts when eating, We eat out of boredom, and eat emotionally. So telling us to not count calories can be a slippery slope
From my experience the people who eat 5000 to 10000 calories a day are usually getting most of it from Carbs. Carbs affect your insulin levels, which can cause carb cravings and overeating. Fat calories do in fact cause satiety much quicker and feel fuller. Also you can loose weight because your in a calorie deficit, but that is not sustainable for the long term. I recommend reading the Obesity Code, by Jason Fung MD, that gives a lot of the science behind removing carbs from you diet as your primary means of becoming healthier, not just loosing weight.
But I'm sure they count grams, which is basically the same thing just a different way of counting.
Abra Rice Yes! Some of these supposed experts just won't admit they are wrong sometimes To many doctors out there that just don't get how a 400 or 500 lb Persons body and Mind works ,And that telling them calories don't matter is a recipe for failure for many of them . No way in hell I could have lost 110 lb in 6 months without counting calories and staying under 1500 . maybe that not counting calories thing works for people who don't binge eat or are already thin But it wont work for many morbidly obese
@@theresamcdowell8137 You'd have to be a special kind of stupid to think you can eat 5,000 calories just because someone said they don't matter. You don't have to count them but at the same time that doesn't mean you can eat 5,000 calories a day use some common sense.
Net carbs came from Dr. Atkins low carb plan from the 1960s. He described net carbs as Carbs - Fiber = net carbs. Sorry if someone already said this.
Holy crap. I think you just answered the question that has been hounding me for months on Keto and have started many a facebook group fights when I ask it.
Do I need to eat if I'm not hungry just to get in more calories?
I eat when hungry
I stop when full.
My fat is 70% or higher.
But my calories are perhaps 900. is this bad, should I make myself eat more.
And you would not believe the arguments that happen when all the schools of thought on Keto come together for this question. It's nearly half and half that...
No, do not over eat!
Yes! You'll tank your metabolism, that's not enough calories.
And I've never really had a good answer. I think I have it now!
Matt's faces in reaction to Megha's macros at 9:30 had me in stitches :)
So how many calories do you guys eat each day? Should it change with Keto or should it still be the typical calculation? Thanks!
Watch in 1.5x rate and it sounds normal thank me later
ShadowHawk05 yeah I always speed up their videos 😂
Haha it does sound relatively normal 😂
lol i usually go for 1.25, my english is not that good to go up to 1,5
ShadowHawk05 Haha. It was actually funnier sped up.
0.5 if you want them drunk.
One thing I dont think a lot of people have mentioned when it comes to starting off is the fact that excess carbs and protein dehydrate you. Breads and starches especially are very absorbent of any liquids surrounding them in the stomach, hence why its so tempting to reach for that nearby soda. Protein molecules generally need liquid to unwind and excess nitrogen from eating too much of it often causes kidney pain that's confused for thirst.
All sodas (including diet ones) are heavily carbonated, which causes it to zip through the body and quench thirst quicker than anything else. That's why it can be so tempting to get one when you get say a chicken sandwich from the drive through; the bread, salt and lean chicken leave you feeling parched unless you get something that has added fat (say guacamole and bacon) and fills your hunger before you get to that point. Diet sodas are problematic to me because they'll ease the discomfort of eating foods you shouldnt be eating and enable you to eat them more. Drinks like tea and lemonade actually have helped wean me away from those kind of drinks and thus sodas as a whole. When you get into the swing of what you should be eating (less carbs, more rich meat like chicken thighs instead of chicken breast and wings) then you can wean off of those too.
this was totally unclear for me with all the other 'pretend' stuff thrown in... i just need clear concise information please
There are actually videos by doctors with PhD's that countermand a lot of your opinions on this video.
I'd say about 25% of this video was accurate/helpful.
The rest, simply opinion.
Thumbs down, sorry guys.
chaosmotion1983 there are a few I disagreed with as well but I still love them.
I love them too, but this video is a whole bunch of misinformation. I'd rather watch grocery hauls or recipes
chaosmotion1983. Doctors? Like the ones who write the diet protocols for the American Diabetes Association who say people suffering from high blood sugar should consume high amounts of whole grains, beans and sweet potatoes? Yeah, those doctors really know what they’re talking about! 😂
False. The ones that know their shit. Dr Berry, Dr Berg are just two of them.
chaosmotion1983 I agree. Those guys are great. And Keto Connect has done podcasts with both Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg and I’d say based on those podcasts, they have a lot of respect for those men. Just slight disagreements like counting carbs in veggies. Nothing to get torn up about.
Jason Wittrock will officially be pissed at #1 😂
Calories do NOT count. It's all about how foods affect insulin release.
Can I call you guys M & M? U guys are great! I watch u all the time. You’ve saved me so much money by simply 1 just avoiding that marketing of buying ketones. Also I really love the way you’re stepping out of your zone and bringing in this next level of acting using separate LUTs to show it’s a commercial etc. GOOD JOB! I’ve bought your books she Megha -has a book too btw. (Y’all should advertise that more) love ya! Lost 15 lbs since June 1 but for me, that weight didn’t come off until last month. So your advice once was to “not give up” best advice ever!
jim s M&M! Lol Now they need to get those M&M's with their photos on them for their wedding!!! Lol
jim s ~ Yes! And when I once heard Matt say in a video, "Trust the process," I found myself repeating that every time it took four days for the scales to change. I had to remind myself a few times in the beginning that I CHOSE to lose slowly. That wasn't my main objective. Now I'm wearing clothes I kept in storage that I wore 30 years ago. -- Hey. They're now considered vintage! lol
I have a different take on “calories don’t matter”. On every diet I’ve ever tried, my struggle was not getting ENOUGH calories. I ate lots of veggies and don’t eat gluten so I have very few pastas, breads, and other high calorie junk foods. I counted ww points and calories, etc but always struggled to get to my calorie goals. I was always well under. With keto, I’ve been hitting my macro mark for the last two months but I’ve continued to focus on hitting my calorie mark… EVEN IF I WASN’T HUNGRY! This is what I’ve always been told. As of yesterday, I heard you say that my hunger would go down when my body was being fed the right way. Of course this happened a few weeks ago but I was eating when I wasn’t hungry to hit a calorie goal. My current theory is that if every meal I eat is in the proper macro percentages, the calories don’t matter…. As long as I eat when I’m actually hungry and stop when I’m satisfied. I am only pointing this out because, while it seems obvious, it goes against what many of us have been told up until now.
One of the reasons I keep coming back is because y’all put out good information, but keep it entertaining. I loved this vid. I didn’t agree with 100% of what you said, but that’s the thing (and what I think you were trying to accomplish). There is no “absolute” black and white on most of the myths you debunked. But that’s not what others are saying. This is one of my favorite vids so far. Thanks for doing the work. It’s appreciated more than you know!
I am in a group, and we follow professor Tim Nokes, we do not count calories, we count macros...and everyone loses weight, we eat 100 grams of fat a meal, and yes we naturally do intermitten fasting. And yes we count carbs from vegies. And yes we do net carbs, and eat real foods.
I'm sorry guys Julius stole the show 😍🐶
My only slight issue with this is the "veggie carbs" section. I agree ALL veggies are not "carb free" (none really are), but for myself and my wife we feel that green cruciferous vegetables are not counted in our carb count - but things like onions, tomatoes (really a fruit), carrots, etc are. Non-green cruciferous vegetables have to fit in our 20g and under carb count.
These tips are told ALL the time omg! I’m glad you guys put this comprehensive list together
also i appreciate the change in style of video but it’s soooo much longer than it needs to be lol
It's not that calories don't matter, but metabolic rate is partially determined by caloric intake, a feedback loop. You got it only partially right when you brought up the 100-calorie advantage for keto diets. The part you missed is the hormonal effect for those with extreme insulin resistance. For those folks with insulin levels always high (i.e., 30-40+), it will be nearly impossible to lose weight. Restricting calories will result in the body lowering basal metabolic rate, which reduces or eliminates the caloric deficit. Eating keto allows insulin to go low enough so that BMR doesn't have to drop.
Matt , if i swallow some toothpaste while brushing my teeth does that break my fast?
Sam Wheale 😂😂😂😂
why do you brush your teeth with Sugar or Flour ?
Yep it sure can for some people , Even just the sweet taste in your mouth can spike insulin for some .That's why I only brush my teeth with baking soda until My eating window
hell yes it does
It's a shame people are saying they don't understand this video, because I did and really enjoyed it. It was nice to see two people talking about their own experiences.
I use fasting it just helps me I need the structure
I don't believe in counting calories but calories do matter. If you are overweight don't go on a 4000 calorie keto diet and think you will lose weight and not living an active lifestyle.
So you're saying that pretty much 90% of what Delauer says in his videos (which focus on the benefits of intermittent fasting) are nonsense and a waste of time?
EVERYONE please - your own due diligence is a NECESSITY! RUclipsrs are doing videos to make money. Some are slick salespeople, some are genuinely sincere but may not have all their FACTS correct. It is difficult to separate the wheat from the chaff; learn critical thinking & practice common sense.
Wow please do more research on IF you guys got that one completely wrong and seemed to cherry pick with some abstract point.
chad metzger that was a great comment and could be applied to the whole video.
It's a matter of opinion, chad metzger. Some advocate for, and some against, all forms of fasting. From what I've seen, keto can be successful either way.
Amen dude, autophagy is amazing.
Like someone said, this video seems to be more opinion oriented than factual. I watch a fair amount of their videos and they mean well but are also wrong about some stuff. I suggest watching Dr. Eric Berg, he seems to be the knowledgeable on keto and the body.
Jason Fung, MD. So many great IF videos. Check him out.
The problem with net carbs is the fact that food companies tell you how much fiber is deducted from the total carb count but they don't tell you WHAT type of fiber it is. Not all fiber is created equal. The best fiber for weight loss is viscous fiber. This is the fiber that sits in your gut gettin all sticky and gooey that your gut bacteria feeds on and keeps you feeling full longer. it's also the best fiber to lower your sugar levels.
I'm thinking these are their opinions, not facts. I like these two but I listen to drs who can back up what they say. Dr. Berry and Dr. Berg.
Yeah a lot of false info especially with intermittent fasting. Also your body on keto burns more calories using fat for fuel than using carbs or sugar, IF also has a considerable increase in burning fat and calories, also calories are not created equal and calories from low carb foods and calories from sugar free foods get burned easier and more efficiently
Agreed Thomas as well on you tube has alot of vids with science to back it up and explains well
They are absolutely right and anyone that's been doing this for a long time goes tgrough all those same things. Btw since you brought up Berg and Berry, trust me they all know each other and give about the same advice. I watch all of the regularly. The keto world is all connected
‘Dr‘ Berg isn‘t a Doctor Medicinae.
@@MaximilianNeuer he's an alternative medicine doctor and so legitmate he's contracted by the US government and university to teach nutritional health
Oh dear I've failed then 2-3000 cals NO DEFICIT 80-90% from fats and I've lost 52lbs now. Keto is hormone control NOT a calorie deficit diet, they only work in the short term.
I only control carbs and excess protein the two macros that spike insulin, for fat to do this you'd have to eat a HUGE amount!
Your body will not burn stored fat if it’s getting enough from your diet...why would it? You most certainly are utilizing more calories per day that you are consuming.
I think the intermediate fasting isn't important for most people. For people who have Type 2 Diabetes OR are insulin resistant... Try intermediate fasting your body will thank you.
Fasting cures a lot more than metabolic issues. It's kinda ridiculous how much it cures compared to what were told to do. Even simple acne is mostly cleared up by fasting. Hormone issues, general body pain etc. Fasting is for everyone as it's literally normal for us to do for our body composition.
Search autophagy, a Nobel proze was given to the scientist that explained the benefits of it. Really cool!
ThatOldBiddy intermittent not intermediate. Two different words.
My take on intermittent fasting is that it is another tool, together with Keto eating, that makes it easier to control calorie intake. I agree that it is pointless to eat anything you want in a reduced eating window (just like it doesn’t lead to weight loss if you eat anything you want as long as it is Keto). But when you IF, it is easier to eat less because it reduces hunger. Put them both together and .... wow!
You lost me when you poopooed Intermittent Fasting. Sorry guys.
exactly felt the same way
ruclips.net/video/-mKvLQxaTvo/видео.html
Same. Especially for people with diabetes or prediabetes. Fasting heals you by lowering insulin for long periods of time, which will help those people lose weight. If you are already thin and healthy it may not matter as much, but that is not true for a lot of us. You don't lose weight to get healthy, you get healthy to lose weight. And Fasting gets you healthy and makes you lose weight. You guys may have lost me with this.
@@Twiznoy They are not trolling intermittent fasting as such but they simply saying calories still matter in that if you eat 2000 calories a day and fast, and I eat 2000 calories and dont fast, there would not be any difference in terms of weight loss. I am on OMAD, and totally agree with them. When I started with 2 meals a day intermittent fasting on a 6hr eating window doing strictly 20,000 steps a day without fail which consisted of 1 hour non-stop running first thing in the morning, I would eat more during the 6hr eating window than when I was not fasting.
When I realized after 3 months that I was not loosing weight, I gave up sugar including fruits, and ate very low carb foods (lettuce, cauliflower and broccoli) and more fats (fatty nuts and seeds, fatty meats, avocado, lots of eggs, MCT oil, extra virgin olive oil). I adopted a low carb-high fat diet with zero fruits but its not a keto diet since I do not track my macros or strictly count calories. I already know what is healthy/unhealthy and no longer crave junk foods. I eat less than 2 handfuls of a meal. I used to suffer from brain fog and migraines but they have been gone since I started the diet. I always have tons of energy, clarity of mind and my skin is even prettier. I do not take any supplements but intend to start soon.
My everyday drink is lemon water with himalayan salt, apple cider vinegar, and erythritol to sweeten and 1 cup of coffee with half a teaspoon of cinnamon, half a teaspoon of turmeric, 2 tablespoons of MCT oil and 2 tablespoons of ghee or olive oil) with my meal. I eat at 12 midday and I am full until the next day, and have been loosing weight like crazy. I started the diet in June 2019 and I have lost 55 pounds. My body is getting trimmer and my tummy is super flat. I have even stopped running. I walk a lot at work. I watch what I eat since calories definitely matter.
SAME
+
I disagree with this ... IF has helped me tremendously and I lose more weight doing so ... ever heard of Dr Fung?
Me and my girlfriend have been doing keto for a month now and your videos helped us out SOOOOOO much! Thank you guys for helping us become more informed! We are already have noticed a HUGE difference in how we feel!
A lot of misinformation in this video, which is unfortunate.
gonna back that up with actual data? or...
I was thinking the same.
Such as? Point us in the right direction
this video is more of their opinion because they keep saying "i think" like they r not even sure what they r saying.
Have you seen Stephe Phinney? He often refers to a study, I think he even done this more than once. But its like one group on a fat reduced study, with reduced calories, the other is put on a keto diet and told to "eat to satiety" and the keto still loses most.
I think thats where "calories doesn't matter" comes from.
Sure, if you overeat, it does matter, but you don't have to count calories to be successful on keto.
Exactly. If you mostly follow your macros accordingly, then your calories will be on point. There's really no need to count calories.
Just because intermittent fasting didn't work for you guys doesn't mean its not the proper way to go about keto and that the health benefits aren't legit because "you don't think so"... lol I'm so annoyed this is on your "Worst keto advice" Really guys
cavv I didn't see your comment before I made mine. I agree 100%. They show their ignorance this is the last video I'll watch with them. There are too many others out there who reads a research before they start spouting their own beliefs.
I think their point is "You can't just do IF and eat whatever you want"
skjoett93 - yup! THATS what they said. Eating in a small window and eating cake and Big Macs is NOT keto. Not healthy. Intermittent fasting by itself is just not eating all day long.
And herein lies the problem with our culture. As soon as someone says something you disagree with you reject them completely. Very, very close-minded.
I’ve lost 30 pounds with intermittent fasting and it has been the easiest way to lose my baby weight from having three kids. Don’t knock something until you’ve actually tried it. It works!!
yes! lol nailed it on so many of these! Yes Calories Matter, No IF doesn't help build muscle or have a metabolic advantage. Exogenous ketones are useless. Good stuff! Soooo many myths, including protein turning to glucose by GnG when its a demand driven process.
Im the not keto food guy , why? Because the carb amount you consume in a day is way less important than the Glycemic Index , you can eat 30 carbs of almonds or cream and you have way more chances to stay keto than 30g of dextrose or maltodextrin they Glycemic Index is higher than sugar or glucose itself.
Marcelo Hernández Venegas hmmm I see
you really don't get this do you haha
I've stopped counting calories for a year and a half. I count carbs. 50 carbs a day tops. 😃😃
IT'S CHIP LAWSON!!!..... PEOPLE!
From what I've read, intermittent fasting's benefit is that it helps you stay in ketosis easier. You won't necessarily lose more weight but you won't get out of ketosis if you go a little over in your macros
hard to make videos in Philly when there is a thunderstorm every 10 friggin minutes!!!!!!
Finally somebody spoke the truth.
I’ve been doing IF 16/8 for at least 6 months now. In the first month I did lose about 10-15 lbs, but eventually I’ve gained it all back. So, IF is a pretty subjective thing. As far as “calories don’t matter” slogan goes, I’d say that calories DO matter. Because, I personally started gaining weight on Keto. So I do have to count calories. I try to stay around 1000 Net Calories / day (non-Keto). Again, it seems like I’m back to square one: Calories In Calories Out.
Excellent info. I love the fact that you experiment and research. You are not just KC...you're SKC....Solid Keto Champions.
Bodyconfident U Keto Champions would have been a great name!
I wonder whether you have ever fasted? It works and it's easy and cheap. It IS extremely good for your health, changed my life.
EVERYTHING IS BLOOD POISON!! YESS
The advise I have one friend continue to tell me is because I am not dropping weight in large chunks but rather at a steady 1 pound a week, that I am doing something wrong. They do not take into account the fact that I am a diabetic with other various medical problems that do slow weight loss for me.
Normally like their videos but this is pure bro science.
Danguardace17 does your comment mean that you like this video are you did not like this video, forgive me in advance I did not quite understand what you were saying.
How can i high five you???? :)
Sorry in advance for the novelette... but,
Let's see if someone has the answer for this (me):
I'd truly appreciate it. (for fat loss purposes)
1. Started keto at 185lbs, around 14% bf. (I am a boxing/martial arts practitioner)
2. Ate 2,700 maintenance kcal daily for the first 10 days.
3. Dropped down to 1,950 kcal on rest day/2,600 kcal on lifting days rotation.
I ate no more than 30 net carbs each day, kept fat at a decent range and protein just enough to support my strength in the gym. I ate only whole foods, and drank only water, bengal spice tea or black coffee.
Result - I remained the exact same weight after 3 weeks, but my midsection shrank continuously, with abs popping and my strength sustainable. (still deadlifting 405lbs for 20 reps, squatting 310 for 10 reps, 50lb pull-ups for 20 reps, etc.) And my skin looked super healthy and face structure chiseled.
Yes, there is the 'flat' look to the muscles, but this I avoided by doing light carb ups on the weekends. Keep in mind that "being in strict Ketosis", is not that important to me, as I am in it for the carb cycling effect.
BUT, what I'd like to know, is how can I go to eating at such a low calorie deficit and remain the same body weight...but obviously be losing fat, water, etc.?!
Any ideas?
In anyone's educated opinion...is this the definition of losing fat and gaining or sustaining muscle at the same time? (curious)
As a side note, if I were to eat this low on a standard American diet, I'd shrink up, muscle and weight wise equally. In fact, I took a break from keto and went into a eating a maintenance phase (carbs included)... and I swole up looking thick and muscular, but actually dropped about 2lbs and immediately lost that slimmer looking waistline. Also, what was very apparent was that I skin (face) filled out quickly and I didn't have the same 'healthy' appearance as when eating the keto diet.
A lot of "I Believe" statements. Ok. Why would we take your word for it? Oh, and if you're gonna quote studies to prove your point, perhaps leave links or references to those studies.
do your own research and quit crying
Or just don't watch the video..
@@ketolifestyle68 They've got a point. Some scientific rigor is all that differentiates the flat earthers from the rest. There are already tons of diet fads based on "I believe" statements.
I agree with most of what they said, but still, confirmation and popularity bias is dangerous. Well meaning disinformation is still disinformation and a stronger foundation would be good for everyone.
I've had people tell me don't count your calories they don't matter just matters how many carbs you eat but when I downloaded the keto app. I noticed it told me I need to eat no more than a certain amount of calories so I ignored that and I'm sticking to my app and trying to eat just about 200 calories less than what my thing says
So something that spikes your blood sugar just like sugar does is ok? I thought one of the main points to keto is to keep blood sugar stable so it doesn't spike insulin which causes fat storage. Dextrose is horrible, many people who are diabetic have issues with this ingredient because of the glusose response. Disagreeing with the dextrose thing completely. It's sugar without being sugar. I would suggest anyone who eats dextrose to test their blood sugar after to see how they respond.
I love your videos and admire your mission, but I've been finding that a lot of your videos are more opinion based and less science based.. Like how you said sucralose is ok in a previous video, without mentioning anything about the research that shows how sucralose effects gut bacteria. If your videos were more like how High Intensity Heallh's videos are, and much more science based, and not opinion based, it would just be better for everyone.
Most people will be fine eating a food with a negligent amount of dextrose or maltodextrin in it or even sugar for that matter . In things like bacon, breakfast sausage ,etc . You would need to eat multiple servings for it to affect you . All they are saying is if you happen to eat something with a negligent amount of either in it don't stress out about it and as long as you aren't eating foods everyday all day with them in it its OK
@@theresamcdowell8137 I understand that, but let's say someone is new to keto and sees this video, then thinks that they can have something sweet every day with those ingredients in it. Like, why not just encourage others to stick with real food and not foods with chemical substitutes? If your in a pinch that one thing, but like those sausages every day for breakfast wouldn't be recommendable, especially if your new and they don't go into details about these things
Oh I agree . No one should be eating processed meats etc everyday Or eating "keto" bars everyday . Its the same as many people thinking its ok to eat as much cheese or heavy cream as they want then wonder why they aren't losing weight. Just because the label says 0 carbs per serving does not mean there are 0 carbs . food companies are not required to put carb or sugar content on labels if grams are under 0.6 g per serving . All cheese and all heavy cream has 0.4 to 0.5 per ounce or serving lol. and those carbs in both are lactose which is sugar . All they are saying is its ok if you eat certain things once in a while that have these things in them , they aren't saying its ok to eat every day, all day at all
I went through all that some years ago, but when you are trying to lose fat by exercising a lot, you will be losing fat but you will also be losing muscle unless you are taking in about 150 grams of protein per day. I believe that fat to muscle loss when trying to lose weight is about 70/30. In other words you'll lose about 70% in fat and 30% of muscle. As much as those who are heavily into Keto suggest that you must make about 75% of your caloric intake as fat, but if you are truly trying to build muscle, you must cut down the fat and replace its calories with protein or else your muscles will atrophy regardless of the amount of stress you place on them with exercise.
Calories don’t matter. Period. Is all about hormones
I think a lot is about hormones. I have seen anecdotal evidence that people on SSRIs (which usually cause weight gain) often have a difficult time losing as much weight on keto, and also experience a worsening of depression/anxiety. I wish someone would do a legit study on it.
Elizabeth Gilbert EXACTLY, I don’t understand why the fuck people still believe in the calories in calories out BULLSHIT
LIKE..if they knew how many calories a food had, the body does not know that
The body reacts through hormones..... but ask it to those who inject steroids, WHY THEY DO IT? Because IT WORKS
what angers me is that many of them support the concept of calories....So why do you inject hormones?????
STUPID!!!!!!
+Elizabeth Gilbert check Dr Eades latest vid a few hours ago, he explains in great detail that it is not only about lowering carbs... Also Dr S Phinney is also great to follow.
IF is crucial to good health and healthy longevity. In fact, it would be interesting to measure one's Keto range during this period.
I personally stop eating around 22:00 and start eating no earlier than 11:00. Not only do you boost your GH levels, but your body goes into a state of autophagy. It also makes it easier for me personally to maintain my testosterone levels.
“Sandy are you taking minutes for the meeting?” 😂🙃
I've been low carb and IF (18-6) for 6 months now. I started at 450 and am currently 369, but the last 3 weeks I've not lost any weight at all, and last week I gained 1.2 pounds. My caloric deficit should have equaled 12 pounds lost over the same amount of time. I eat 2000-2300 calories per day and hike 3 miles 3 days-per-week, 4.5 1-day-per-week, and 6 miles 1-day-per-week, with 2 days of no exercise. My BMR (sedentary) is currently at 3100 calories per day with an average caloric burning of 4700 through exercise per-week. The 4700 calories burned plus the 1000 calorie deficit from intake should equate to a loss of 3.34 pounds of fat, lost per week. I'm a 36 years-old and am 6'3" tall.
Throwing shade at my mans fledge fitness. Not cool
You heard it too??? Had his music playing and shit
Look how they built and look how fledge is built
Random info - in my experience, there is no real difference in seizure control and high versus low ketone levels. As soon as the body is in ketosis the effect is felt. The same recipe prepared with 30 gms of "veg" oil will give you XL ketones on a pee stick and 7 seizures a day. 30 gms of butter gives you small ketones and 1-2 seizures a day. It's a difference in the efficiency of the LCT versus SCT as converted brain fuel and probably the inflammatory response accounts for the difference in the threshold (likely the insulating effect on the nervous system). From what I have seen the efficacy went from 90% in the 30's with mostly SCT to 50% in the 70's when it was MCT to the sadassed 25% today with Ketocrap's LCT corn oil. Using the pee stick is kinda like smelling around the car for gas to see what kinda mileage you get.
Can you guys please make a short version of this with #1-11 short titles and brief explanation? Seriously, 5 min. version of this video would be really nice....
Yes just for all the people with a large appetite and a really small attention span?
I’m a dwarf standing at 4’7, and I’m a little over 200 pounds over weight, today I broke my fast close to 1 and had three small organic eggs scrambled with shredded cheese, and two pieces of bacon, to night having a green salad... am I doing ok?
This was my least favorite video that I've seen from you. I get sarcasm.. but it's more helpful to state the myth and counter it. Your sarcasm bled into your explanations and I really didnt know what the final message was on ANY of your tips 🤷♀️
Definitely best video yet!! Your Kinobody impression was hilarious!! And the not keto office scene had me dying!! 😂😂😂
you guys look like you're having a lot of fun doing these skits.
Disagree with #3.... You cant eat & not excersize BUT it is beneficial. Less insulin spikes, more down time for fat burning, better circadian rhythms, autophagy if you do longer windows etc
