Once i cut down carbs…i started having good energy all day and still be able train (cardio and strength) 5x a week. Triglycerides from 188 to 61…blood pressure stays in the 120/70 range, lost 30 pounds and I sleep better. It really has me feeling better at 37 than i have at any point in my life!

100 % INCORRECT!! I am a nutritious since 2003 after a diagnosis of coronary artery disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure., from a weight lifter, steak and eggs, heavy meat no rabbit food diet. Instead of the proposed heart surgery I went back to college for nutritional science, and reversed my diseases without surgery using supplements and COMPLEX CARBOHYDRATE CENTRED MEDITERRANEAN WAY OF EATING, and exercises. 2005 coronary artery disease completely reversed not a sign of blockage anywhere, type 2 diabetes reversed, blood pressure normal. 2024 Latest blood test PERFECT. That is not a few pseudoscience articles, radical diet hopping, that is 20 years of disease free, healthy as a horse complex carbohydrate eating bliss.

I have pcos and want to lose weight because of psoriatic arthritis as the extra weight puts added stress on my joints! Eating less carbs is hard!

Most people are happy because they want to eat their carbohydrates in peace.

Kait I eat low carb diet' thank you.I hope you have a great week.

I just received the iodine and liquid form by your suggested brand. It doesn’t have directions on the bottle. How many drops do I take per day? Can I take it straight from the dropper or should I dilute it in water? Thanks😊

i generally avoid sugar and refined carbohydrates - and prefer to eat low carb foods. I dropped weight doing so....

I use most of all them except meat because I do not eat it.....MINDY

I've know for years we do not need carbs, but some are so good 😅

I have been on Keto for a year- off and on getting frustrated without successes. Recently ai have got a Keto tester. It would appear that my frustration was warranted. I cannot seem to get my glucose down no matter how strict I am. My levels always elevated to 6-7.8 after meals even if they are completely carb free. Fasting blood sugar never gets lower than 5, usually 5.5 or higher. My highest keto level has been 1.7 and the next time I ate a Keto meal, it of course booted me out. I measure 1 1/2hrs to 2 hrs after. It’s so frustrating.

Sorry but not true, at least for me. Every time I've done the Keto diet (50 grams or less carbs) I get restless legs so bad they go nonstop 24 hours a day. I even added electrolytes, hydrogen water, extra iron and magnesium in addtion to Mirapex. When you can't sleep for 3 days you feel like you're loosing your mind. I wish I could do Keto, I really want it to work.

Yep. There are essential fatty acids and essential amino acids, but there are no essential carbs. I'm fine eating some, but I do find that for weight management and metabolic health I do better if I keep them to a small fraction of my calories, especially sugar and grains. As a side bonus, the reflux that became a regular occurrence in my late 30s and early 40s is now exceedingly rare. I presume that's because the more satiating meals (protein/fat) reduce overconsumption

Working on this desperatley..a few gnawing things keep wrecking everything... but almost there...mind game until the craving goes away...Great video

I have been doing intermittent fasting for a few years. My nutritionist wants me to eat a smoothie with almond milk, chia or flax seed and a handful of berries because I go to the gym in the morning and she says it is bad because my body needs nutrients to have a better workout.........help....................MINDY PS.....I DO EAT EGGS, AVOCADO AND ONE TOAST AND CHEESE FOR LUNCH/// I am a pescatarian...

ARE YOU A DOCTOR OR SOMEONE EXPERT ON MEDICAL FIELD? HOW COME THAT CARBS ARE NOT ESSENTIAL?

Hi Kait things change for me when I started watching your channel back in 2020 thank you so much :)

Carbs are important to the body and the heart

It is not 100% but to ‘help’ stop starchy carbohydrate food like Rice from transitioning to fatty liver & body fat (Rice - glucose ~ fat) and also help stop Rice from spiking blood glucose. ~~Is to first cook the Rice then cool refrigerate (or freeze) it for at least 12 hours then reheat the Rice. ~~This cooling procedure changes (converts) the Rice (retrogradation) to a much healthier “Resistant Starch” with less fat weight gain and less blood glucose spikes. Reheating Rice back up again does not reverse this procedure. ~Retrogradation of starch is a reaction that takes place when the amylose and amylopectin chains in cooked gelatinized starch realign themselves as the cooked starch “cools”. ~Also (after rinsing Rice) to add another procedure to that. Some say to even help the Rice create even more “Resistant Starch”, is to cook Rice with a “ratio” of 1 teaspoon of Coconut Oil for every 1/2 cup of raw Rice.

❤🎉

Great video Kait. So true that we don't really need carbs. I think the vast majority of people can reduce or even eliminate any inflammatory issues they have by eliminating processed foods, added sugar, grains and seed oils from their diets. Again eating whole foods. Animal based foods should be the major portion of a persons diet with vegetables and fruit as a side. May I further this by saying everyone should be eating a good portion of their vegetables as a ferment, just like our grand parents did.

I’ve lowered by carbs to 75 g or less per day it has helped on lowering blood sugars

Ive been doing keto and IF since june 2023 and have gone from 355lbs to 183. IF won’t be permanent but Keto is now my lifestyle.

Nice and balanced video! Two interesting things I discovered recently. Meat actually contains a small amount of carbs (glycogen) and even antioxidants such as vitamin C in the liver. So a carnivore diet isn't as limiting as people think. Depends how much you like liver though...

i am low carb. its the only way ive ever loat weight. i still eat arpund 90g carbs a day through fruit and yogurt but low carb has healed my digestive issues for sure!

I've been on Ketogenic lifestyle and OMAD IF for two years and lost over 90 lbs and reversed my insulin resistance and metabolic syndrome completely. I haven't had any grains and starches in two years. 0 grains. My only source of carbohydrates is from cruciferous vegetables. Although cruciferous vegetables do have some carbohydrates, the high fiber in the vegetables mitigate the side effects of carbohydrates. A great video, especially when you reiterated that carbohydrates are non-essential nutrients. Thank you.

Yes I knew that :)

I went carnivore for 11 days and felt like I was dying. I had to be a scientist to get electrolytes right, I caved and put in veggies. But amazingly I had dry cracked heels and since quitting sugar it got 60% better. It seemed I had extreme extreme difficulty getting into ketosis. Felt like death. But I’m hopeful and in ketosis. It was like climbing a mountain

Thanks. Stuff I wish I knew in my 20's...

30..... I wonder if it is a number that you got out of a medical study, because my blood sugar go up 30 just by walking, or eating 2 bites and im not even diabetic. I have spikes up to 200mg/dl, like today, i ate a tuna rice onigiri and a soy milk box. I dont know if its the food that is bad or my body that react like that but id like to know where did you get those numbers

For the past 7 days, I've been eating Chipotle every day. I get the salad bowl, but add two servings of chicken to get more protein. Sometimes, I eat this salad bowl twice a day. My carbs stay below 50 per day. And in 1 week, I have already seen benefits in both my weight and exercise.

With reduced carbs I noticed my sugar levels dropping and my water intake and energy levels increasing

I'm a high-carb low-fat being. I could crush a carnivore dieter with one hand.

Great video nomention of beer.

I like the fact that you get straight to the point and don't ramble on when a few words can get the point across.

We also need to keep in mind is multiple people have become Type-2 diabetic when consuming zero carbs, or being on extreme keto. I have heard 3 different doctors mention having patients who had this happen. Also, even if non-essential, having a few complex carbs (not sugar or other simple carbs) each day will add just a bit of energy to our activities which will allow us to walk just a bit faster, not be as tired, or build a little more muscle when we work out. This also comes from the endocrinologists I have been following for the last 30+ years. One of which is one of the pioneers of the low-carb movement so many of us are part of today.

Being a vegetarian since birth, life only got worse. I certainly don't need anything except animals. Having anything else is like self abuse.

carnivore diet has been helping out all my digestive issues and making me feel great. have much more energy now

Your body needs 0 percent meat to thrive on this green planet

Iodine and Fluoride compete for absorption. If you have fluoridated water you may need to consume more.

I have been tested and I am borderline. I have a very high gluten sensitivity. I get really bad allergies and rashes on my arm and the burn like fire. It is really hard to cut gluten out of your diet when it is in everything. I have lost 46 pounds and still working on losing more weight. I stoped eating out and cut bread out too.

Cup of tea or coffee and boil eggs

I like your videos very much because they are practical and not dramatic.

The first time about 1/3 of my hair fell out, I was 20. I had a hysterectomy at 30 due to fibroids. I’ve had ~22 massive hemorrhagic ovarian cysts since. I’ve always been cold and had slow heart rate. About 1/3 of my hair has fallen out cyclically for almost 30 years. Super dry skin. Terrible blood sugar, even with paleo diet and tons of exercise. If only I had known this 35 years ago… I tried 3 drops of lugol’s recently and it made me sick so I took a break for a while, ate seaweed and salmon, used sole water, and will try having one drop once or twice a week to start.

I can't afford but wanna do keto

Well I need to cut out my Oatmeal !

Yeah but glucose needs every cell. Fructose not. Rice has no fructose

Can you make a video for athletes and carbs?
