Keto for life since I can not portion control carbs. Pasta, bread, and cake are like crack to me and once I take a bite I cannot stop so the only solution is to never ever eat it 😅
*sigh* Carbs (pasta, bread, chips and salsa) are my kryptonite too.
And you’ll live longer and healthier not eating them!
Same! No sugar for me.
I LITERALLY hear ya about sugar being like crack. ;)
Exactly what hapoens to me.🥴
Started Keto and intermittent fasting at the end of November 2021. Starting weight: 275. BMI of 39.9 (morbidly obese). Very high blood pressure 150/130 taking maximum BP meds and a resting heart rate of 80. Afib with cardiologist wanting to perform an ablation. Terrible skin rashes. Prostrate problems. Terrible joint pain. Sugarholic. Pre-diabetic. Extremely high cholesterol and triglycerides and on statins. 6 months later, weight is 196, BP meds cut in half and consistently 110/65 and resting heart rate of 45-50. BMI is 29.4. Afib is 100% gone, as are all the skin problems. No longer taking statins, triglycerides plummeted and cholesterol is perfect with the exception of higher LDL levels. I owe it all to Thomas, Dr. Berg, Dr. Ken Berry and Dr. Cywes. I got my life back. I have 20 lbs to go to hit my target weight. Thanks to Keto and IF, I will hit my target and stay there.
Keto and IF is the way to go! Down 35 lbs...way higher amounts of energy, joint pains are all but gone....Dr Berg and Thomas have changed my life!!!!
Same!
Agreed! I’ve had similar results…I’m down 27 lbs
You can also do the same thing with carbs and calorie restriction
Same!!
45 for me 👍🏻
Keto has not worked for me. I was getting sever keto flu weeks into the diet. Started Mediterranean diet w/ IF 2 weeks ago and love it so far! So much easier to incorporate into my life style. 2 weeks in and lost 11lbs!
One month is not long enough of a trial period for keto. I was on keto for three months before I started feeling higher energy.
I agree most with you. Do what works for you as a person as a diet, but I definitely agree that one month is insufficient to know if it is of use to you!
Agree. You have to give any eating strategy/meal plan a fighting chance and the body needs its time to adapt.
I agree, you should give it at least 90 days. I was so sick when i started keto it took 6 minths to feel good. I went thru all the detox factors of keto. I had the keto rash whixh is so ducking painful, but after 6 weeks it went away! Just as quicky as it came and has not returned. I have been keto for 21 months! Almoat 2 years. I am metaterrainian keto.
yeah, it took me about 2 months.
So true.
Yesterday was 3 months on keto/IF for me. Just in the last week or so, I’ve been able to do
20/4 easily, which I know would’ve been impossible in the first 2 months. Plus there were times I really needed my blueberries for something sweet. But I just kept at it and I’m surprised how easy 20/4 feels now.
I’m down 30 pounds, and its probably more like 40+, since I didn’t weigh myself for the first month. (And lots of inches- pants are falling off. 😜 The first delivery of new clothes just arrived: yay. ☺️
What I’m saying is: this works. Stick with it, do it cleanly and correctly, and it works.
I've always known that keto wasn't for me because of my high triglycerides. But what has helped a lot is the advice to cut back my carbs to about less than 100-150g a day, staying away from vegetable oils, and also the intermittent fasting 6/18. It hasn't helped me lose weight, but it has lowered my blood pressure away from stage 1 hypertension without meds, removed me from a pre-diabetic status, and I feel better doing it.
Ahh I did keto for most of a year then tried slowly adding carbs back into my diet and felt like my body just got so inflamed. Still thinking I may be insulin resistant. Forever searching for the right balance in my life. I'm back on keto this past month and feel quite a bit better. Did a 3 day fast and got down to my healthy goal weight (I gained around 10lbs adding carbs back in) and I've managed to say their for the past week eating clean keto.
Apparently it takes approx 2 years to reverse insulin resistance as stated by Dr Berg, I've been on Keto/low carb for nearly 3 years, so I'm taking a break from low carb and cycling between high ( Oats and low GI brown rice) and low carb to see if there are any benefits. That failing, I'm back on low carb as inflammation is always lower without carbs.
Low to zero carb, high protein, moderate fat would work a lot better for most people particularly people over 50. Zero Kcal between meals, 3 meals a day max.
It works well for my maintenance, I can’t lose weight on it
Mr. Delauer, Personally I greatly appreciate the interactive discussion and the slower pace of this video. Although, I always appreciate your video content and the depth of information provided. As always… thank you.
I had high triglycerides when I started, but Dr. Berg told me to just focus on increasing the amount of green vegetables and increase the intensity of my workout in the gym. I started to add an extra day at the gym and an extra mile each time on the elliptical as well as targeted a higher heart rate while doing so. At my next check in, triglycerides dropped all the way to the floor. How I look at triglycerides now is simply a buildup of unused energy floating around your blood. More dense vegetables and high intensity workouts should start to work it off most times like it did for me.
Try to mimic caveman behavior as much as possible which definitely included a lot of high intensity cardio
I think triglycerides tell you if you are in fat burning mode or fat storage mode. You could have high triglycerides if you are eating less calories than you are burning becsuse obviously when your body is burning your fat stores your triglycerides will increase. I found out that it is not the best idea to have your blood labs done the day after going to the gym for a decent workout. My uric acid levels were elevated, when tested a week later without going to the gym the day before, they were close to normal.
@Young Power I think you are right on.
No disrespect to anyone trying to understand the human body. I think Dom’s ideas need to include more definition. I'm looking forward to a simplification of the jargon. They throw around terms like "high fat" "low carb" "caloric restriction" "time restricted eating" "intermittent fasting" ...... inconsistently. Makes my head spin!
I happen to like Dr. Berg's "healthy keto" which has proven to improve my health over the last 3 years. Dr. Berg does a much better job at defining, than many doctors and nutritionists on CZcams.
I think Thomas has a good heart and provides some pretty interesting info, but I think he needs to widen his reach by interviewing Dr. Berg, Dr. Rob Cywes, Dr. Steve Gundry Dr. Ken Berry and a biological dentist or two. Also, there is a population of absolutely "ripped" athletes that have type II diabetes and do not even know it.
I think it's the fibers. More veggies = more fibers and that lowers TG.
You seriously listen to that guy? Dr. Berg doesn’t know what he’s talking about.
This is so timely for me. I started the keto diet two years ago and loved it i finally wasn’t starving all the time. I also combined it with intermittent fasting. I didn’t lose weight and very slowly gained some weight. My blood sugar and triglycerides started climbing. I finally took the DNA Company test and as it turns out I have the gene that makes fat metabolism very challenging I also don’t metabolize carbs well. Changed my diet to low carb of mostly veggies and a few fruits with moderate fat and protein. My blood sugar dropped from the 110s daily to the 80s and my triglycerides came way down. I am prediabetic I could not believe it. The DNA test helped me to dial down my diet to something that works for my body and I am finally starting to feel better
That’s awesome! It’s all about finding what works for each of us and congratulations on doing so!!
You may have unknowingly dropped uric acid levels.
Excellent topic with some great touch points. Thank You for sharing your knowledge, insight and passion for healthy living.
This is the best video I've seen of yours in a long time. Much more sane and scientifically sound!
I don’t find keto sustainable. As a medium distance runner , I found myself fatigued and weak all the time . Then I added some whole grains as part of my meditarranean diet . I feel amazing and full of energy ⚡️⚡️
All you needed to do was up sea salt intake to retain water electrolites because you were dehidrated you ate some grains carbs and thats exactly what that does is retain water
whole grains are great for energy and are in all Blue Zones longevity diets
@@eduardoguerrero2791 good point.
@@homesignup the whole concept of "blue zones" has been thoroughly debunked multiple times
You probably weren't eating enough fat that's the number one mistake people make when doing keto and why people fail
great discussion! thank you as always good food for thought
I've been on Keto for about 8 months, lost 40 pounds, BUT, I just got my blood work done and my cholesterol went up A LOT. Time to stop. But I'm still going to watch my sugar.
You don't need to stop, Cholesterol isn't bad, Dr berry has several videos debunking that myth
@@peterkropotkin1158 About 5 or 6 years ago, I had a stent put in me because my artery was 90% blocked. What caused that if it wasn't bad cholesterol?
Great video. I had to alter my keto diet because I was getting constipated. Just had to add more veges, but stay close to the principles
Great information! I love this and was so glad to hear it. I reversed my t2d using keto, then found that i wanted more veggies. SO I added more in, and stopped counting. Another hint that it's time to stop is when you're demonizing healthy foods that just aren't part of a ketogenic diet. that makes a big difference. If you're hiding from your friends or family members because you've eaten too many carrots, or feeling ashamed.... You know it's time to stop. (OR, get new friends/associates who don't police you).
Thank you , you such a great encouragement, I lost 6 kg in 2 months on keto , so awesome , thank you , thank you ....thank you
I have been really successful on keto. I got for physical and blood work regularly and the doctors loves what i am doing. Eat a pretty clean keto with veggies and it works for me
These are excellent suggestions. Thank you!
This was a great video. Well done! I almost recently quit keto after 16 months, but realized my sodium intake was still way too low. Once I corrected this, I began to feel much better and have more energy. I love keto! :)
I was on Dr. Berg's KETO/IF. However my protein sources were beef and eggs. And I had cheat carbs every weekend ( _cookies or cake etc._ ) My weight was perfect. Energy levels were good. But my triglyceride number was 454mg/dL. That is high. Really high. My doctor said I was gonna have to quit the high fat diet and try going mostly vegetarian. Instead, I watched a couple of Dr. Berg videos and followed Dr. Berg's KETO/IF diet *_exactly_* as he laid it out. That meant two changes.
1. No sugar. Period.
2. I began eating sardines, salmon, and cod liver w/cod liver oil ( same brand that Dr. Berg eats) at least one a day sometimes twice and only had beef once a day instead of 2 or 3.
6 months later, my triglycerides are at 133mg/dL. I don't think "stopping KETO" is an issue. I think actually *doing* REAL KETO/IF is the issue. I don't think the people who are feeling badly while "on KETO" are _actually_ "on KETO". They are cheating in some way. My eating is now VERY simple. Leafy green vegetables and cruciferous vegetables ( _probably 1/3 of that is cabbage of all kinds - especially fermented_ ) in huge amounts, mostly sautéed in EVO oil or EVC oil with garlic and onions. Sardines/salmon. Grass-fed beef/beef liver. Locally sourced eggs from pasture-raised chickens ( _about to start my own collection of hens to "grow-my-own"_ ) And nutritional yeast.
Oh! And a 3 day fast once a month. KETO/IF works but only if you ACTUALLY DO KETO/IF. Not your own "version" of it.
I do vegan keto/AF low carb, mod fat, mod fiber, high plant protein, where I eat 3 meals a day, only 2 days out of the week, other days I eat 0-1 meal a day, my week starts with a 24-48hr fast, eat day, then a 48-72hr fast, eat day, and repeat, cake and ginger snaps are part of my cheat days, I weighed 273lbs and my triglycerides was 76.2 when tested, I also exercise when fasted.
Dr. Berg? Seriously?
That’s me how do I stop my strict keto?
Great video - Thank you guys 👍🏻
My favorite/ best researched channel in my feed🙏🏻
It worked for me for a long time, I truly love it- however, I was NEVER hungry, so I think the not eating killed my thyroid.. and I think women at a certain age may need to be extra careful with their hormones. But I think Keto is awesome, and I loved how I felt on it!!
Keto has stabilized my hormones. I’m so grateful! Headed into 2years and don’t see going back to carbs . Clean eating for life.
You probably have done something wrong to destroy your thyroid.
Seriously, no shot taken at Thomas or this Doctor but...
I went on Keto to lose weight and live a healthier lifestyle, it worked, period. 👍💪
If it works for you... stay on it.
I can care less about my "triglycerides levels" lmao 🤣 😂 😅
Sure, why care about scientific findings when you can just listen to your gut huh?
PLEASE TALK ABOUT MITOCHONDRIA UNCOUPLING TOM! 🙏 This can really be a change up in the keto world.
Was keto for awhile, and it did me a lot of good, but it was switching to pure carnivore that fixed everything, including the arthritis pain in nearly all my joints. Plus, I never get tired.
I want so much to do carnivore but I’m on food stamps. Better cuts of meat/fish is very expensive. Dollar Tree has canned fish but it’s awful tasting. Finding the hot sauce or even mustard ones are rare.
I love keto/IF & been doing it nearly 4 years but now I’m stuck. No improvements for over a year. I never crave anything or get hungry but not losing weight & extremely tired. I’m 67 years old.
Any suggestions?
@@vas4739 you may want to try doing a longer fast from time to time. 24 to 48hrs. Sometimes that shocks the body and forces you to utilize fat from your body for fuel.
I can't ever seem to get full carnivore. I like too many cheat like foods - cheese especially but I know I should. I'd be better off carnivore with a little fruit.
@@vas4739 Ground beef, bacon, sausage, eggs and chicken thighs. A lot of my meat is pretty inexpensive. Since I never buy any plant based foods or drink, it seems to even out. The meat doesn't have to be grass feed. Dr. Ken Berry has some good ideas on how to eat carnivore on a budget. His wife actually does ketovore, which just seems to be a ketogenic diet with a higher percentage of meat.
because ,you have been on keto,but the meat cant never fix artritis, or cáncer with it being fed with gm.o. crops,full of pesticides, which isnt there nsture like corn and the hormone being inye te to them.😮

If you guys do another vid together, I'd love to hear more discussion over egg yolks. Thomas tends to speak highly of using more egg yolks, and giving some of the egg whites to his dogs. Dom does the reverse. A discussion on the pros/cons/whys of this different approach on egg whites to yolks ratio consumption would be appreciated. What factors or goals should one consider in making the decision to focus on higher egg whites or higher egg yolks?
Sometimes I eat more onions and broccoli. I also eat strawberries a few times when in season. I mostly keeps carbs way down, though I am somewhat flexible.
This was a very informative video. I'm new to your channel, so I'm not sure I understand what a "Mediterranean" keto diet is. Can you direct me to another video, or resource? Thanks again for great content.
Happy. Birthday. Thomas. I. Love. Learning. On. Your. Channel. Have. A. Wonderful birthday.
I am on low-carb/Keto and IM diet for 2 years. And my major problem is I cannot gain any weight which I need because I am quite underweight. Very few people address this issue and it can be a challenge to continue on with this protocol.
Same started "drinking" Olive oil to every meal to get calories Up. Plus Hypertrophie Training
I just wrote keto bulking in youtube
Heck they ate 4k calories in just 3 meals
I'm cycling through high carb ( Oats and low GI brown rice) and low carb. I'm 2 weeks into my first time back on carbs and feeling good, also keeping weight off as I was consuming too much fat. Another 2 weeks of carb loading then back onto low carb. I train in the gym 4 days a week and use creatine for its benefits. While I'm taking a break from creatine, I go high carb to keep the power in my workouts. It will be interesting to see any difference once I'm back on low carb and creatine V's just high carb. I will keep you posted as well as my blood score.
Try the KETO/IF the right way, the correct way (clean eating, quality ingredients, no cheating) for at least 90 days and see how you FEEL and look! If you don't notice the difference after 3 months, then it is not for you.
However, most people will look and feel way better once you're fat adapted and won't look back. Your cravings for carbs, sweets, just eating in general will go away. Of course not completely and there are temptations, but it will be easier to manage without so much struggle.
Very good presentation.
Great video over all.
Awesome video been doing IF and keto and down 35 pounds
I've always had high triglycerides, I started eating less red meat and working out 4-5 days a week, hoping my next labs will be better but I've never been able to get my triglycerides lower than I think a 180
Yo Tom your content is good, I’ve been carb cycling as for my cultural foods include lots of rice and mom wasn’t happy when I see her hehehe. However Keri and IF has made a big difference in my physique, energy and health !! Thanks dude
Im a first time keto and it works so well. Keto and if but worry about keytones are high. When log tells me to contact doctor? 8-16 urine non diabetic
I always feel so good on keto and IF, just my BED and food addiction makes it hard.
(Ps. I've tried eating "normally" 3-6 times a day, this has always, years, made my ED much worse).
Keto and IF have actually helped me with my problems, still hard but feel better
I quit trying with keto... been trying for 6 years... i eat in a 2 hr window daily... whatever i want. It feels like freedom... I eat anything I want. I share it on my channel. I do try to eat a lowish carb, non inflammatory, nutrition dense WAPF style diet most days. Fasting is healing AND burns fat. I love it. It's awesome, I eat a large meal and whatever my body tells me to. I have dessert everyday!
!!!! What about other issues? Correlation between keto/paleo and low free T and high SHBG? Cortisone and calorie restriction (even unintentionally).
This is kind of crazy that this video came up today. Been on keto for 2 years and yesterday my husband, out of the blue, tells me I look too thin and fit and I need to start eating carbs again. He misses eating all the bad stuff with me too. That was tough to hear because here I am busting my butt on keto and exercising everyday to live a long life for him and look good for him but we wants me to stop. I’d actually thought about slowing down but not gonna totally stop. It’s too healthy for me! Maybe I’ll switch to a low carb diet.
Don’t stop what’s working even if it may hurt his feelings. He should accept you for who you are and should be motivated from your progress and join you on the journey. Only stop for you and only you. I went through the same thing as you with my wife but she encourages to stay the course from what she sees in me and she’ll have Keto days with me. A friend of mines is offended that I’m Keto and say I should stop since I need carbs to be fit, healthy and energized. He won’t stop me though because I’m mentally strong. We got this. 🙏🏾💪🏾
just make sure you don't go 180. Try some fiberous carbs. You can do the high end of keto. 50 grams of carbs or less.
The effort you spend should be for you not him. So if it makes you happy keep going if it doesn’t then stop.
You know what's healthy for you, you should do this for you and not for your husband.
@Reggie Johnson I asked him the same question! He said he’s happy about the inside health benefits it’s having but that I have zero fat on me. I actually started intermittent fasting a few weeks ago and lost more weight and I think that’s the culprit. I was doing it for autophagy not for weight loss. Maybe I need to stop that for a while and see if that helps. I mean he’s right I’ve lost more weight since implementing fasting with keto. He loves me and he’s worried for me. He just wants the best for me I know 😊 and I’m an extremist. I’m all in or all out! He knows I can take things too far sometimes
My husband and I have been doing the Keto and intermittent diet for over 5 years, but recently two years he had a annual checking up and had told by DR. That his triglyceride cholesterol is really high, has high blood pressure and also glucose is pretty high (what? we don’t eat the regular sugar and only put fewer berries in the home made green drink). And there’s few good things happened to us 1. increasing our immune system ( we haven’t had any cold or flu since this diet)2. no bloating after every meal. So now I don’t know what to do with this diet continue or stop.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY THOMAS!!! 🎉🥳🎂🎁
Hey Thomas, I have been drinking 1 tbsp acv, 2 tbsp lemon juice, and ½ tsp salt for every 50 oz of water and I drink about 150 oz of water each day. Is that okay with IF or ADF?
Thanks!
I noticed my labs triglyceride was up being on keto. So I took it upon myself to not eat so much fat just medium to less, not too much meat but I still do LCarb diet that I do and I just do eggs everyday for my energy . I love boiled eggs eat 2 a day and lots of salad. I will have blood works soon later this month so ..
Are there specific symptoms of high triglycerides or do we need a test please?
I treat egg yolks like my multivitamin. Also use a variety of nuts like supplements with my meals.
Had been doing this for 5 months, and lost 12 kg. After 5 months it caused severe insomnia. Unfortunately, I had to switch to low carb instead. I loved being on keto, by the way, and it reduced my cholesterol.
This is happening to me right now, I cannot sleep. Been on keto for almost 3 months. Went from 202 at 5'9 to 165, I feel the weight fell off too fast
ive been doing keto and IF for 5 weeks and im down 39.2 pounds.
ive had to make 5 new knotches in my belt. start weight was 310, my weight as of today is 270.8. ive never felt better.
150 is my target weight.
i try to stay between 20-30 carbs a day.
Olive 🫒 🕊 oil for the win! Real butter for the win. Ghee for the win! Ribeye steak for the win! I can not eat processed oils at all...makes me feel so sick 😫
How do you balance keto and a heart healthy diet?
Check your boss mass density or DXA. Just to be on the safe side.
what messed up my fat adaption attempt was vegetable carbs combined with hidden carbs, artificial sweeteners and possibly dairy. I wasnt able to get fat adapted even after 5 months, after which extreme fatigue and hair loss set in from resorting to meat only. I felt starved and had to give up keto. Im disinclined to restart keto, as i have no need for it now that im done with fasting beyond 24 hrs. My current big issue is my uncontrollable appetite for junk food, which keto can resolve, and i have the mind to make corrections that wont result in deficiencies the next time around should i go for it
Interesting....
My triglycerides and HDL and normal, however my cholesterol (370) and LDL (176’j are sky high. I don’t want to be on statins because of the relation to dementia that I have read about, but I feel I have no choice. I love keto otherwise, have lost 27 lbs. since last July. I would like to see the problem of high cholesterol addressed.
Could you guys address bile deficiencies and keto?
One big thing with seed oil is if you are consuming seed oil that is made from GMO grains, you are going to consume much more pesticides. Soy, Corn....others.
Triglycerides are low 0.99 MMOL/L
HDL normal 1.52 MMOL/:
LDL Extremely high 6.80 MMOL/L
LDL its a little to high considering HDL didn't go up as well specially for being keto for years not sure if this something to worry about
I'm a type 1.5 (MODY) diabetic doing keto for 4 years and IF. All blood work markers came down huge plus weight to a great level. But did a 10 day fast and felt great until blood with a few weeks later. Cholesterol up 100 to almost 300 and triglycerides doubling to over 150. Could fasting cause that rise and will it go back down?
I started doing keto for 3 months started at 193 lbs. I'm down to 170 lbs...I'm 5'6 Male my idea wt. Would be 160 lbs... I was doing keto for wt. loss I'm not diabetic or have health issues?? I also walk 3 times a day 2 miles.... I'm just tired off eating same things??? I miss bananas, oranges, mangos, etc.....I just want to cut down on carbs and eat healthy without the strict Keto???? What do you recomend?????
i keep best i can but now when i want some carbs i have them usually 1 day a week seems to stop the cravings for the rest of the week
How do you not loose weight on keto and imf? I went from a healthy 120lb to 95lb and had to go off it and start eating three meals a day. Thing is I have a digestive issue that feels great with no/low carb and my adhd and inflamation goes down on it. It felt great, but no matter how much fat I ate, I was loosing weight. Should I do keto, but eat three meals and only have a 12 hr fast instead of the 16-18 hrs I was doing?
I'm noticing several 'cold pressed' rapeseed oils in the supermarkets lately. Might these be as good as the good olive oil and avocado oils I wonder...?
What should I do if my triglycerides are okay but my LDL is 473 and my total cholesterol has gone to 608? Prior to starting the keto diet my cholesterol was all in the normal ranges? I doing intermittent fasting and my blood work was after a 20 fast and a 5 mile jog/walk.
What’s missing in the diet debates/wars is an appreciation for seasonal changes. It looks like low-carb/keto/carnivore with lots of fasting is good for leaning out during times of scarcity, and high-carb/high-fiber grazing is good for filling up energy stores when plants are abundant.
If you’re a summer child who has been grazing on lots if calories for a while and is obese, then winter is coming, you should fast/keto. If you’re the opposite, and run into problems (low thyroid/test/temp/etc), then start eating those carbs!
This was very informative. I recently went to Dr. For follow up. Although my triglycerides are are low (50) and HDL level is good, my LDL is high ( now I requested an advanced lipid profile) she suggested a more plant based ketogenic diet. I would love a segment on this topic.
I’d find a new doctor. As long as your triglycerides are low I wouldn’t worry about LDL. Going plant based keto means high carb, nutritional deficiency and possible weight gain. Your doctors reading the wrong studies if promoting plant based.
Thomas talks about LDL and how its not always a good indication of cholesterol health with keto patients.
How long does it take to stop being dehydrated? I keep drinking litres of water with electrolytes, put sea salt in everything, but it's becoming tiring, definitely not normal....
Really good video. I'm one of those people who questions whether or not Keto is the right choice for me. I've got some mitochondrial issues and perhaps some fatty oxidation genetic issues as well. I started off 1 month as carnivore and then switched to keto and I've been over a month on keto now. I've also been doing two days a week of 24 hour fasts, 3 days a week of 16 hour fasts and then 2 days a week of no fast. I still eat a decent amount of calories, on my 16 hours (two meal a day) days I get about 1500 calories. On my 24 hour fast days its probably around 1000 calories and on my 2 regular days its about 2000 calories. After a couple months of being in ketosis, I still have issues with being dizzy/disoriented/brain fog/ weakness etc. I just don't feel well. But I love only eating two meals a day. I enjoy the food as well. I don't want to give it up but I'm not sure my body is going to really fat adapt to the point where I feel great. Another big issues is that it is nearly impossible for me to lose weight on any other diet (lifestyle).
I had the same problem, just substantially increased my protein and electrolyte intake (especially salt) and it made a huge difference. The increased salt made the biggest difference for me personally.
@@Roseworthy6 The salt thing is a fine line for me. I've got pulsitile tinnitus and whenever I increase my salt it gets worse.
This was a little confusing, as I’ve heard/read that triglycerides increase while losing weight because you’re body is freeing it when canabalizing fat cells for energy, so you have more availability for energy use.
I don't have problems with nuts if I choose types with good fatty acids profile. You can have problems with types containing high amounts of omega 6, or some pseudo-nuts like peanuts. And also, I avoid roasted nuts, because it can affect fatty acids oxidation and even fiber properties. I soaked them or eat them raw - depends on type.
They're good snack between meals if you don't want to look for calories in dirty keto options like some fatty dips. It's always better to get calories from whole foods.
On average fat adaption occurs from 6 to 8 weeks, some people's mileage may very. Using fresh Thyme in your food will help teach your body to become fat adapted.
I don’t think it’s for me, unless I’m just doing it wrong. I have put on some weight after I turned 45 and I can’t get rid of it. I’m going to the gym, fasting, and eating mostly Keto foods. Just ready to throw in the towel and try liposuction (although I’m scared to do that).
There might be a lil TMI in this comment but very important. I am also 45 and I don’t know if you are on BC but I had a tube ligation recently to not be on any BC. It has been 3 months and my hair, skin, and weight issues have been noticeably improved. I did have my Gyno do a blood test before I had everything done and can’t wait to do another. I would strongly recommend you do this, getting a quick fix will not solve the problem. My sister had all kinds of surgery and she looked amazing at first but the surgery did not solve her unhealthy habits. Hormones play a large part in everything. My estrogen and testosterone were way to low and progesterone was way high. Mainly because my BC was progesterone. So My weight was hard to loose, I had cystic acne, my hair was dry and falling out. I was a hot mess 😂. I am slowly getting it straight.
@@kristyglasgow89 Thank you for sharing. Reminds me that I haven’t had a good blood panel since covid. I’ll get on that ASAP.
Great video! I think it''s different for everyone. I got baseline bloodwork done when I started keto. My A1C was 5.4 and I was 177lb. After about 6 months of keto and IF, my A1C went up to 5.6 and insulin was very low. It's like my body just didn't see a need to use it any more. Weight went down to 145lb and triglycerides down in the 50's. What really blew my mind is that my fasting blood sugar would sometimes go into pre-diabetic range. I've since switched over to higher protein, moderate fat, and low carb (75 to 100 grams per day), introduced small amounts of fruit back into my diet, and i'm seeing my fasting blood sugars come back down.
That seems pretty common, my fasting blood sugar for some odd reason is always in prediabetec range then goes down throughout the day by a little
@@AlruMoToRiderz Crazy right! I saw so many people when they started keto their fasting glucose went to the 60s and 70s within a couple of weeks. Mine just stabilized around 100 and would even climb slowly even though I wasn't eating anything and just drinking water. As soon as I would eat within an hour to hour and a half it would dip into the 90s.
Same thing for on my fasting blood sugar, almost always between 96-104 now (a1c though went down from 5.8 to 5.2). Probably Dawn Phenomenon. Jason Fung has a pretty good video on this.
This is called physiological insulin resistance. Unlike what we think of as regular insulin resistance, where the body has been blasted so much with insulin signals that it starts to not listen anymore.
In this case the body starts sparring blood glucose to save for the organs and tissues that really need it. A larger portion of your overall glucose stores stays available in the bloodstream. Fasting blood glucose goes up for many. The trade off is that insulin goes very low, and you aren’t fighting the extremely high spikes in blood glucose seen in high carb diets. Glucose may be elevated, but it’s stable, no dramatic bursts of both glucose and insulin happening. It’s a good trade off.
@@turtledunkknucklebaby8089 I read about that as well but in most cases, while fasting glucose is elevated, A1C seems to remain the same or drop. In my case, it rose .2 points. While it's physiological, I can't help but wonder if it is beginning to do damage to the endothelium. I've seen reports saying that damage begins to occur at lower glucose levels than they thought. Is this not the case if it is physiological?
but after u stop keto wat do u eat to be healthy n not go back to procesed foods
Dr D’agostino looks so much smaller … what happened???
Why skip the nutrient dense yokes to add other fats?
If it flies or swims I will eat it. I am doing low carb and low fat trying to burn my own fat. What do you think? I did keto for 2 years and went off for 2. I fat adapted quickly without the keto flu the second time. My cholesterol lab work is good. My total is 209 but my good is 90. My triglycerides are not worth mentioning. 10 pounds to goal weight or maybe I can be happy here

Also A1c is 4 ish
I had high cholesterol before Keto, and it went up and didn't come down much after months of Keto... Triglycerides went down a lot though. Should I worry?
its the TG/LDL ratio that matters. Eventually do an extended lipid profile panel to see what kinds of LDL you have.

Where I s the link for Thrive?
I've made a bet with my mother who had high triglycerides that I'll fix them with keto in a month. It worked. They are normal. In a month they've dropped from 3.7 to 1.8 😁😁😁
Mine dropped from 2.2 to 0.8
Keto all the way 😎😎😎
What about oxalates on a Keto diet?
Keto is great with carb cycling just before or after working out 🏋️♀️, but maybe not everyone is headstrong enough for a new body type. Have you ever seen how ecto morphs stare at mezo morphs at the gym? They are like how did you get so ripped like that ? The world may never know.
Maybe not everyone has time for the gym. I’m just sayin
Can you do a review on a new vegan protein powder called xeela fitness!!
I wish I could make use of Thrive Market. Shame it's only in the US ;_;
I was having bad joint pain to put I had to stop lifting. No ammount of
Hydration or rest fixed it. One week of cheat for my birthday and I gained 8 pounds. I assume water from glycogen as still tracked calories. Joint pain completely gone. Don’t think keto is maintainable with lifting weights
That doesn’t really explain Thomas though does it?
I felt great the first month. Then I started getting a spacey/ thick head feeling I can’t shake. I’m lost now.
I always felt like I was living behind a curtain. I had no energy at all and was very spacey.
Histamine intolerance.
Salicylate intolerance.
FODMOPS.
This is why keto to doesn't work for some.
💯
Do you have to go through your general physician to get bloodwork done, or are there labs that will do it for you directly?
You can go straight to blood lab. Lab corp or Quest for example. Unsure if insurance will cover without referral.
It can get pricey w/o insurance coverage.
Can u talk abt ur cycle?
Does clinical depression and chronic anxiety make a body less prone for becoming fat adapted?
what is wrong with egg yolks?
I've been on keto for 2 years I've gotten jacked/ built like hell at barely turning 50 years old. Maybe it's genetics, hell I don't know I'm weighing only 208 from 300 pds. I think it's all about carb cycling. To be honest.
id love to eat normal again and just count calories but sadly my body holds water weight like nobodies business. i see so many thin people who eat tons of carbs and sugar but just workout and count calories yet they remain skinny sadly i’m not able to do that. genetics suck sometimes
