    I've been through the same with my body all my life....cravings, stuffing myself, overexercising to make up, just so unhealthy. Now, in midlife, I've finally got balance. It's come from only eating whole foods, which I prepare at home every day. I finally feel fully nourished. 🙂

    I tried to be high carb vegan for decades. I was always hungry and never achieved a level of satiety (fullness). After I tried vegan keto and am never hungry all the time. What is significant about this is that with vegan keto, you are not grazing, binging or mindlessly eating all the time.

    Blue zones eat about 85% calories from carbs. Got to have my beans and bake my own bread (freeze bread makes resitance starch 35% less glycemic index). As long as you are not insulin resistant you can eat like people did in the 60's. I'm 150 lbs, vegan, high starch eater and can't imagine what keto-vegan would be like.

    As a Type 2 diabetic I was given Dr Neal Barnard's book on reversing diabetes. It turned me vegan but didn't really help my blood sugars. I realised, after a year or so that I was eating way too many carbs (pulses/pasta/sweet potatoes/bread). Then I found you, Heavenly Fan! and my bloods have gone back to normal, I've never felt better but I also eat delicious food and actually don't feel restricted. Thank you :)

      I am a thin vegan for EONS but yeah, I'm not sure HCLF is going to fix my blood sugar issue. Even Dr. Barnard once told me to switch to Eco Atkins. But, in the past, if I cut carbs too much, I lose all energy, my insomnia gets worse, etc. It's frustrating. I'm not diabetic, but usually in the pre-diabetic range and there is a lot of diabetes in my family on mom's side.

      ​​@@Atheria444 try carb cycling. As women we need more carbs than men to help with hormones. And keto will make you tired in the first couple of weeks as your body transitions, this is normal. The first few days are the hardest so cut back from 100 g if it's tough. Drink more water and add electrolytes to get through it

      Except high-carbohydrate low-fat diets leads to lower HbA1c than high-fat diets; in other words, you weren't eating too much carbohydrate, you were still eating too much fat.
      *_«Surprisingly, given the enthusiasm for LCHF diets in the media and from some professional commentators, we found that lower carbohydrate intake was associated with significantly greater odds of T2DM and higher HbA1c concentration. Higher adherence to conventional dietary recommendations (basing meals on starchy carbohydrates, lower fat and saturated fat contents, eating more fruits and vegetables) was associated with lower HbA1c concentration.»_*

      A high-carbohydrate low-fat diet will absolutely fix all your blood sugar issues. You just need to make sure your fat intake is really low, and that you eat a lot of fully fresh and ripe fruit rather than starches (fructose helps to metabolize glucose without releasing insulin, and has been known to cure diabetes for over a century).

    Great video Fan. I started doing keto and intermittent fasting about 2 years ago. I was very strict when I first started because I wanted to get results as fast as possible to keep me motivated. After reaching my goal and losing fifty pounds in six months I decided that it would be fine to eat whatever I want from time to time. I’m happy to say that this less restrictive approach is still working well for me and I’ve kept the weight off.

    Isn’t it interesting how you experience “hunger” when you’re eating truly low-carb?! I honestly didn’t verbalize it this way- you have found the words for it. It’s this exact phenomenon that might be the motivating factor that causes people to become experimental cooks! I’ve seen this happen to people who’ve never done more than microwave frozen food, but on low carb, begin cooking complete meals and desserts.

I've recently been feeling like I want to reduce , or eliminate, animal products from my diet. You have inspired me to do at least 1 year of Vegan Keto. If it works for me I will stay on it for 4 years to compare it to my Clean Keto data.

    You are so right about the freedom from thinking or all that anxiety inducing food logging. When I started vegetarian keto…I kept it very simple and stripped down. That is where most of my weight loss came from quickly. Then I started doing a lot of baking and things went sideways with a stall. If you keep it simple 90% of the time and then treat yourself with home made keto baked goods or just small bite sized pieces on the daily it’s amazing how good you feel. Not hungry and constantly obsessing over food. So weird when I am on sugar (went off Keto for a whileeee but back now!) sugar makes me kinda kooky tbh! Gets me very moody, depressed and kind of obsessive! I feel soooo great on Keto honestly. Love your videos and soothing voice. Your food is wholesome and creative.

It's exactly 50 days of living this new life for me, and have to say, going back is out of the question. Really, I'm having the time of my life!

So than i am eating keto (meat) and than vegan, and than keto,vegan,keto,vegan .....😂. For me is Vegan Keto the best way to eat. I tried it once, but i followed a program, which who used tons of hempseeds 😂, i only live on hempseeds and other kind of seeds. For me it was to boring. So i stopped with it. But now i try it again, but on a different way then the first one. But to get there, i'm eating vegetarian in the first place. For me it's a little bit easier to finish with a 100% vegan keto lifestyle / diet finally.

I don't weigh food so it's never been a stressful thing for me.. I was prediabetic before, but now my blood work is normal (and I lost 20 kilos) so I'm very happy with my way of eating.

    Thanks, this deeper level reflection than you get in most 'results' videos has been really helpful for me. I've also struggled with feeling trapped by dietary choice, and feeling limited enough as a vegetarian in very meat-eating Umbria, Italy. But I suffer badly from auto immune psoriatic arthritis, and I've been thinking I should try giving up gluten and lactose, and stumbled across your video... I love the idea of becoming attuned to my body, and having a more constant, happy way of eating. I am convinced to give this a try!

    As someone who has had food issues all across the spectrum and also done a ton of personal experimentation to try to heal the issues, I really, really identify with all you've done here. Your channel is truly helpful and your whole manner is very soothing on complicated confusing and oftentimes very frustrating overbearing issues we face with food ❤

    Sweet, Thoughtful Fan ... I think I will probably watch or listen to this video every day for a while and then once a week thereafter for the rest of my life.
    It isn't enough to simply 'know' this information ~ I think the emotion & vulnerability in your words adds so much more to 'what' you've said that I want to (probably 'need' to) hear it often and gradually internalize it.
    Going through living a Keto lifestyle has consumed a lot of my brain activity these past few years and listening to how you approach Keto just makes way more sense.
    Absolutely the single BEST KETO VIDEO I've ever watched. Thank you.

    Thank you for shaing . It is totally true in my experience too and lovely to hear! I love the mental charity keto gives me and that is a missive motivation for me to stay with it and started to develop a new way of living that is with no resistance and guilt. I leared in this process how to listen to my body, it is fascinating ❤

    Thanks for sharing Fan, I totally agreed with you that we should listen to our body. Our body needs carbs, for energy. I avoid simple carbs and only go for complex carbs which I feel it is healthier for me.

    • @jdmosaics
      @jdmosaics Год назад

      If one looks at the true science of the human body…Carbs are not an essential element… Protein and good fats are. Most people are nutrient deficient because they are not prioritising protein.

  • @discerningtaste

    I am going to start with a comment .. "do this forever, get out" .. oh I laughed and thought that's the reason I will never remarry LOL.
    Okay, kidding aside, Fan this was one of your BEST annual reviews of your health insights. So practical and refreshing. I was also a life-long vegetarian and deviated here 'n here over the years. However, as healthy as I thought being a vegetarian was, I was never felt 'settled' in my body and it took me years to do something about it. Although I craved and ate vegetarian foods. I was very overweight and bloated but I was eating healthy, right? Not so fast, sista. I have a (visual and gag reflex) aversion to meats, eggs and shellfish but you know, I tip-toed into low carb several years ago and I knew I was on to something. I never did keto full-on but low-carb was speaking to me. While I struggled with the proteins, I was feeling better and I ended up losing a massive amount of weight to the point where my body felt right and settled. Still, my eyes craved vegetarianism but my body craved low carb. You are right - your body will bring you back to where it feels right. Learning to listen is the key even though we may be kicking 'n screaming our way through the very foods that are harming us, we know better. I am very emotionally/physically content on low carb. I sleep better, my joints feel good and my mood is better. I think like you where I cannot have my life burdened with a poor eating plan as it will never help in the long run.
    It is good to see you again on here, your following appreciates your recipes and your wisdom 💖

It happens that you and I are just alike on all points you spoke about, so to hear you articulate that was really illuminating and clarifying and concise and I sure do thank you for that ♥️also I really like your recipes! 👍 Like you said not everyone is alike but you and I are, and anyone who has experienced these kind of issues will benefit from what you've said. I feel very proud of you🙏 Thank you so much♥️

    I can relate big time. Diagnosed with diabetes Jan. 2023. Always loved high protein and fresh veggies. But unaware of how much starch, gluten, carbs and sugars in breads in American food. Now total Keto learning a new way of cooking which I enjoy. Thank you.

    This video was such a pleasure to listen to: thank you!
    I related to all of it. Especially the ease with which the body can remind us we are better off with very few carbs when we stray a little and indulge. After experiencing the clarity and clean, smooth energy of ketosis, it becomes so easy to recognize what is not great about burning carbs, and that recognition becomes all the motivation that is needed. All the best, Fan!

    Thank you so much for all the recipes you have given us. I have become allergic to meat and eggs. I think it was from tick bites here in Australia. It left me with a fear of what to eat. I knew I had to be vegan and I have celiac disease so have always eaten gluten free. But now I had to find recipes that were vegan and gluten free. You have given me this wonderful net to fall into.

    Thank you for this video and all your delicious recipes! I totally understood what you meant when you said you didn’t know anything except hunger and feeling full to the point of sick. That was me for most of my life. I started Keto a couple years ago and lost 80 pounds. Since then I have gone vegan. Part of my issue was that I knew wheat did things to my brain but I also suffered from massive GI issues and was fearful of going vegan. I still have some Gi issues but feel vegan is my preferred way to eat so I’m sticking with it. Since going vegan I’ve gained 10 pounds but I wasn’t doing vegan keto because I didn’t think it was possible. You have given me renewed determination to make it work. Thank you so much! 🤗
