Once I stopped counting carbs, weighing my food, writing everything down, it was such a sense of freedom!! Eating is so simple now! Shopping too. Simply yes or no. I''ve always hated vegetables so that's an easy choice. I've been eating carnivore for the last 4 months, 2 meals a day and eat until I'm full. I've lost 38 lbs so far and I'm now off my blood pressure medication. I've never felt better!! 56 years old and going strong 💪 Thank you, Dr. Cywes for another great video!
Awesome! Yes you!!!
You are doing great! Too many people complicate this so much. The worst people to watch on CZcams are the keto preachers and keto dessert channels. Everyone I know who followed those channels completely failed. Stay with people in the medical profession.
Did you come here from BLE? I did! Can’t believe I used to weigh my food. 🤦♀️
Hallelujah!!!!!!! FINALLY a Keto professional that lets the public know that lettuce and cucumbers isn’t going to make you get or stay fat!!
Do you Train hard? Sure no
I hated " doing keto" until someone in a FB group said they avoided the counting nonsense by just eating meat and eggs. 2+ years carnivore now and healthier in my fifties than I was in my thirties.
Ultimately, there's no need to eat ANY vegetables.
Don't try to control a relationship that you've already lost control of, love that!!!
And.. can’t break a habit you’re still doing. Some real pearls of wisdom here.
Keep coming back. ;-)
No yelling, no shouting, no screaming. Because those of us that know, know just how right you are. 💯 Agreed. 💪
Tx Steve
so people who dont shout are right, and people who do are wrong? lol
It was back in 2015 when I went to support a family member who went to rehab for heroin addiction that I realized I had a sugar/carb addiction. It wasn't until 5 years later that I hit my own personal rock bottom. I slowly started a keto lifestyle then transitioned to carnivore. Its 3 years later and still going strong. Your videos, Dr. Cywes have been a godsend to me to help me understand the correlation of all the components that were leading me down a destructive path. It wasn't ever that I was eating too much it was always that I was eating the wrong things and that's why I could never lose weight. Thank you for all you do.
I'm not sure if you covered this, but what you are working towards is a new you. I'm 69 years old and went on a carnivore diet about a month ago. I'd previously been on a Keto diet with good results. What I immediately felt after completely dropping all carbohydrates was the aches, pains and stiffness STOPPED within 48-72 hours. I mean I couldn't bend over and tie my shoes without groaning and huffing and puffing. That was amazing. I have also notice the edema in my lower extremities has completely gone away and I have more energy. And, I have btw lost 18 pounds in the past month. Doctor, thank you so much for your clear, concise and informative discussion on this life style change. I am convinced it is the path forward for me.
I would love to have you do a video on thin people with carb addictions, I am not one of them but I know so many people who believe because they are not fat and are they are healthier. My sister fed this to me all my life. She never ate meat, veg but drank coke ate tons of Doritos and drank tons of beer. She was thin so she never worried about her diet. I have struggled and still do. Unfortunately she got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at 62 so please do a video explaining that thin people need no carbs also, it just may save their life.
TOFI = Thin on the Outside Fat on the Inside
This man is marvelous in making the understanding of scientific research simple 🎉
You have been my teacher in a successful keto health journey in the last 4 years. And still I am in awe of every New Video. Not only you know what you are talking about, you have the ability to explain and share for everyone to understand it.
Vinny Tortorich told me 10 years ago "your liver doesn't know the difference between an apple and a donut. Carbs are carbs." That always stuck with me.
The apple also comes with vitamins, minerals and amino acids, whereas the donut is pure poison. So the comparison is senseless to me.
Im keto but apple sugars and processed sugar and corn syrup are totally different
this way of thinking is dumb af
@@keen2461 An Apple is still Sugar
@@mfrank3518 Absolutely incorrect
I love how you make all the medical and science information so clear. 🥰
Thank you. I am 80 and could not lose weight unless I did injections provided by a diet dr. Going mostly carnivore and doing intermittent fasting I’ve lost 15 lbs in a few weeks. I feel fantastic energetic and no days when I feel kinda fuzzy thinking. I feel like I’m 40 again. Amazing
For the last 5+ years I calculate everything I eat. Always keep it under 20 total carbs. Have lost more than 100 lbs and all blood work good. I will continue to count carbs and write down everything I eat until I die. It works for me.
Who cares
I have been doing Keto for 2 years and started carnivore on March 17th 2023. I am feeling absolutely amazing. Joint pains are gone, and I no longer need to go to the chiropractor. Indigestion is gone as well. I started doing press-ups, and in the first week, I did 35 per day, which was 5 more than I usually do. I have steadily increased the number every day and did 70 a few days ago! I can't believe it!
What I added was boron, which was suggested by one of the many doctors I follow on CZcams. That took it to another level. I am 67 years young and will never eat vegetables again. No carbs, absolutely no carbs. I have not put sugar in my coffee or tea for at least 40 years.
Another effect of this diet is that the plaque on my teeth has completely gone. After about a week, I could feel it coming off, a very strange sensation. Additionally, I no longer have bleeding gums. I only take thyroxine for my underactive thyroid. I hope to get off of it over the next year on this diet.
just curious. what are you going to eat when they forbid eating meat?
Why do you take Boron? I’ve not come across this before.
Omg 😱 I loved this Dr. Cywes! I've been having a rough time lately and gained 20 pounds when I still needed to lose 10 more so now I need to lose 30. Well I've lost 6 of that. I've been keto for 4 years and lost 150 but going through a divorce I fell off a couple of times. So now I've decides to just eat like I'm a newbie and starting over. 🙃 thanks for this video, it was awesome! Perfect 🥰 💞 👌
Love your Brutally Honest communication! ❤ We need more Drs like you in this world
Awesome explanation. No BS. Just say no. Straight up. Love it. Thank you!
Thank you, this makes so much sense to me. I lost 92 lbs fasting and reducing my carbs but have had a hard time maintaining the loss and have gained about 20 lbs back. I have recently gone carnivore and it is now slowly coming off. Currently I am only eating beef, eggs, coffee and a small bit of butter in my first coffee and water of course. This helps me to see I'm on the right track!
Wonderful video! Thanks Jennifer 😊
Love this concept. YES or NO. I'm addicted and have been saying NO. I know understand what triggers my addiction. Thank you.
Love your content and your approach of making this accessible for ordinary people who live in the real world. You cut through all the complicating crap while at the same time acknowledging that it isn't easy - that it requires discipline and commitment. You're one of only a few people I listen to in this space. Thank you for what you do!
YOU do?
I was reading a book from dr. Ian smith, clean and lean. He has a 30 day clean eating has intermittent fasting and menu ideas. It has whole wheat bread and pasta and all fruits. I hit a plateau on keto and was looking for a new idea to jump start my last 20 pounds. I have been keto for two years and maintained my 50 lbs weight loss. Thank you for waking me up and making realize I am, and will also be a carb addict. Love you realness and your straight shooting approach. Look forward to more of your videos and I go back many times to review your old ones.
Great video.. thank you. By God's grace I am very YES and NO in my thinking with food options.
I eat meat, eggs, occasional full fat A2 yogurt and salt. I feel my best this way and I don't trigger the 'carb beast within' by eating berries which are sweet.
As an Italian raised on espresso, coffee was the toughest to drop.. but I did, because it made me anxious. I don't demonize it. 'If you can't tolerate vegetables, don't eat them..just don't demonize them.' Love it.
I’m so lucky to be working with Dr. Cywes and Sheryl! 👏🏼👏🏼❤️😊
What a great teacher!
Clear, concise, no bullsh*t. Hubby and I are mostly carnivore eaters and we feel best this way. I'm learning that many veggies don't agree with us and I've also learned a lot about oxalate in veg from Sally Norton. This is our lifestyle and it's really not complicated. Thank you for being the voice of reason and keeping it simple. Brilliant!
Oxalate ?
I love it! That is exactly what I did to break the carb addiction. I wish people would listen. It is so easy the way you describe. Thank you
Bingo! You never let me done--BS!
Secondly thank you simplifying how to eat healthy!

Once I really learned how simple this is I felt free. Had to gradually let go of the 40 year old diet mentality but with your help I’m genuinely on my way. ❤❤❤
Spot on! The biggest issue I have had with carnivore is other people telling me what I "can't" have. 😂 The freedom from making a bunch food decisions is most liberating.
Oh yes, they think you are crazy and showing off. Jeep in going...abd tobthe others...well, so go on with your pasta and pizza and think it's healthy😂.
Ive been off and on with different schemes to lose weight/get healthy. Started keto in december and decided by Jan 1st I needed to get more agressive with it. Went carnivore and Ive lost total of 18#. I have however plateaued bouncing between 174-178. More mods to my diet coming.
What I wanted to say about this, is that along the way Im learning about my relationship with food. Things that I could be told, but never truly understood till having experience. I use to be an alcoholic (rehab, the whole shebang). Having watched Docs vids a while back, Ive learned going through this he's right, that EVERYTHING about carbs and my way of eating translates into the addiction model for alcohol. Blows my mind but its true, and that knowledge gives me a map. I enjoy your vids Doc, they help a lot. Thank you.
Repeat alcoholism recovery but w carbs
What a wonderfully simple explanation. Thanks, Doc!
In the hospital with what appears to be a minor heart, attack, angiogram on Tuesday, and I am struggling with refusing metformin and making my care team understand that the kitchen is sending me too much carbohydrate. It is so frustrating because I have eaten low-carb for couple of years now. I have watched many of your videos as well as those of Dr. Fong and Dr. Barry and I know that your way is the only way out but I’m sure my cardiologist would send me for a psych evaluation if I told him I wanted to eat butter lol. So I am leaving a lot of food on the tray, mostly the fruit they keep sending sigh. thanks for all of your work. I hope someday low carb becomes the norm.
I'm sorry for what you are going through but I love your positive attitude. Stay strong and stick to your guns! 💕
I was astounded by the crap food my hubby was given from the special cardiac kitchen after his stent placement! The surgeon had told him sugar is the poison. Doc should have gone upstairs to recovery and instructed the staff.
UPDATE: kitchen is sending low carb. 6 g breakfast - 20 g lunch - 6 g dinner :)
@@ddiamondr1 Hope your angio goes well for you 💕
@@judymiller5154 Lucky you have a cardio that thinks this way. Where are you located?
If anyone doesn't believe him just remove carbs from your diet and watch yourself NOT die but actually get healthier.
You are keeping it real, Doc. I started Atkins when I was in college. It worked until I stopped working it. Now, I live a low carb lifestyle in my 40s. It is helping me grow (age) gracefully!
You do?
You're not aging; you're a kid!! I'm 60, and that's what my 80yo friends say to me, too! 😂
Another great video! I love the addiction philosophy ❤ so helpful and often completely left out of the transformation process!
Excellent, excellent, excellent. Finally, someone who puts everything in black and white. Easy to understand unless you’ve eaten too many carbs and you have a big carb for a brain.
Your videos inspire me, teach me and have changed the way I look at my diet. I follow a low carb/intermittent fasting lifestyle and have learned so much from you. Thank you, Dr. Cywes.
Love it, as always. I always felt better doing Atkins, less that 15 carbs, all veggies. I am one of the lucky ones that couldn't get metabolically healthy until I went carnivore. I think it is worth mentioning that plants do also have toxins and anti nutrients and some of us will indeed need to go carnivore... but once mentioned that could become a separate topic or video. Thank you as always.
Same here. Low carb was awesome but I always got pulled back into carbs due to constant cravings. For me, anyway, if I eat any carbs I crave ALL carbs. Now, on carnivore, I have zero cravings. I am not triggered by pizza commercials on TV, no interest in fresh-baked breads as I walk past a bakery, zero cravings.
Pmsl 😆😆😆😆😆never met a fat person who rushed home after a rough day and pigged out on Brussel sprouts!! This information is pure gold and so very true. We def need more Doctors like him....period
This is exactly what I do. Yes/no. I don't count anything. It's not necessary. My plants are avacado and olives, then eggs, meat, liver - nice and simple.
Exactly! Same here. So simple.
Thank you Dr Cywes, that is the best presentation on sugar and carbohydrates I have seen. You put everything so simply and understandably. Also cleared up a confusing part for me about carbohydrates in vegetables, that was sixty or so years ago we ate both meat and vegetables but we had no obesity or metabolic issues, well not on the scale we have today. I certainly understood that excess carbs certainly cause problems for lots of people. We need to pretty much eliminate sugar and grains from our diet. The yes and no list is great, probably very sinilar to the way we ate before ultra processed food. Great video 👍
Having watched most of the video’s this was a great refresher and I think I will watch it a few times more down the track. I find that using the app I use is a big help not only to record food intake but to quickly sort foods into the “yes , no “ categorise all in one place . Off to the fridge now to chuck out the “no’s “
This cleared a lot for me! I really appreciate the information about vegetables. I’ve heard it before but now I better understand. Thank You 😊
This has really cleared up your position on carbs for me. Thank you.
Exactly what I needed: going back to basics when others in the household tell me there’s only a few grams of this or that. Thank you doc: binary will be the answer even if I called stubborn. Either it fully supports health and longevity or it doesn’t period.
Yes! Love the clarification of carbohydrates and identifying clearly what that means, especially the man-made carbs vs,the natural... People still tell me that the natural sugars are just fine for the body! I to attempt to clarify the difference between man-made sugars and the natural yet people are so opposed! That tells me one thing, there most definitely addicted to sugar! Great video as always! Love your content! ♥️🎻
It’s just crazy how good every single video is. 😂
You are so clear Cywes, thank you Doctor. there's so much noise but not one word, you have cleared this up for me.
Genau so ist es ... und ich bin froh, dass ich mein Essen schon früh als Sucht erkannt habe ... auch habe ich überlegt, dass 'etwas essen müssen, um leben zu können' ja schwerer ist als komplett NEIN zu Cigs oder Alkohol oder sonst 'was zu sagen ... NEIN zu Kohlehydraten zu sagen ist DIE ANTWORT ... und Cellulose aus Pflanzen essen zu dürfen gibt mir Antwort auf meine Gedanken und Fragen, wie ich zu einem gesunden Darmbiom komme und damit bin ich bei einem lebensrettenden Lebensstil für mich angekommen. Besten Dank! Insulinresistenz und Prädiabetes ade!
Ob ich abnehme, lange lebe steht in den Sternen ... aber jeden Tag fühle ich mich besser als vor meiner Kohlehydratabhängigkeit 🙏 Das ist Lebensqualität! Das ist sehr viel! Danke, dass es dieses Wissen jetzt gibt und allerhöchste Zeit für alle, die es die letzten Jahrzehnte nicht hatten ... einige sind nicht zugänglich dafür ... für einige ist es zu spät 😢
ich war offen dafür 😊
Oh wow. 🎉❤ I have been watching your videos for three days trying to find what I can and cannot eat on a low carbohydrate diet. 🤪❤️😵💫😂💖🌟🌹at last I know.🥳😱💕 yes yes yes. I am 72 and in bad shape from a lot of health issues. ❤❤ ❤ I have been watching a lot of videos since I became very ill late December 23 after trying pure carnivore for two weeks. Now after watching lots of videos by a variety of people for the intreum I feel I finally have the safe effective way forward for me. 🎉❤😊 Thank you Dr Cywes. I will repost in 2 months and let you know how I am going. Lady Madonna from Australia. 🇦🇺
Doc, I just love your total SIMPLICITY in describing the ketogenic way of eating.
A big "thankyou"!
👍👍👍👍
This makes so much sense. Just like adding vitamins to Fruit Loops doesn't make them health food.
Except that's exactly how they're marketed!
Dark chocolate advertised as superfood kept my addiction alive and “ hidden” from my conscious mind….and is loaded with oxalates …..Just realized “ no, yes” approach is simple and effective…
Love the simplistic binary, yes, no approach. Forget tracking numbers. it's a long game of educating yourself around the total carbs and experience what works for you.
Dr. Cywes, you're the best.
I love the simplicity in this way of thinking. For me, counting is "diet mentality", and with my history of eating disorders, it eventually bites me in the butt!
As for allowed fruit, when you said that the only fruit you allow is olives or avocado, I'm assuming you also allow things like squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes. Most people think of those as vegetables even though they're technically fruit.
When he said the only fruits he allows are olives and avocado, he meant, the only fruits he allows are olives and avocado!!! They are fat based, not carb based, never assume...
those two are fruits that have a high fat content.
so .. should ideally be reclassified at some point post 11/2013.
Zucchini (Summer squash)(fruit)
3.1 g Total Carbohydrate. contains lectins.
Cucumbers are low in carbs and very refreshing, but no fat to speak of. many of the cucumber's lectins can be found in their skin (it is bitter, so you don’t eat it). fermentation reduces some of the harm. but. unless u are making them yourself. not recommended. lots of junk in store bought brands.
by taking off the skin, you limit the number of lectins you're putting in your system.
tomatoes .. another big lectin bomb.
the new world fruit was brought back to the old world, and it took the Italians 200 years to figure out how to modify the fruit to make it not harmful .. but back then, the issue probably was pewter plates and cutlery. caused deaths. might be when ‘ the silver spoon ‘ thing .. became a thing. donno.
1492. was a long time ago.
seeds. skin. are the culprit, and why they go thru the trouble of blanching. silver cutlery reacts with the acidic nature of a tomato. some people object to that taste. had patients in the 1970s that complained about it.
all might help you transition, but should be phased out of your diet. unless. you just happen to have a perfect body (when consuming those).
I used to think they were super healthy.
ate them my whole life.
since 2018. no. I definitely feel worse. eating any amount. oh well. life is better not spending any money on those items.
the ideal foods are naturally zero carb .. it would seem reviewing the lit. anything that has a label. should be avoided unless it is a single ingredient.
@@DeviatingVapors I have to smile at all these drs giving us the speel on our food? Dr Davis basically call him an idiot, dr dry , he could not understand, and I can figure if a dr is going to drink a 750 ml bottle of olive oil, why should I take lessons on lect in if you are really concern about lect in use your pressure cooker, the Italians use tomatoes for many years. I am 77. No meds at all eat what ever I want. This dr in my opinion is obese , have you seen his son not 2 years yet but is wearing suspenders.
I watch his shows sometime, but I think he is wrong. I don't thi k any other dr wants to argue with him ( he is the lion they say))
@@DeviatingVapors Good info, thanks 😊
@@sportysbusiness
So if you want cucumbers have then in lots of butter.
I GE so frustrated at people who know nothing about biology but insist they know what they all and tell you carbs are good for you.
Thank you for making this simple...I've been beating myself up for a long time because I thought I must be doing something wrong but now I feel great..
Love your videos because they do not sugar coat things. Great content. Thank you
This simpler system of having zero non-vegetable carbs is more sustainable. Fewer rules enables better food choices.
One vegetable that you did not mention Dr. is Coconuts. They are loaded with MCT´s and the milk is good for you. I ate half a coconut the other day and it satiated my apettite for 5 hours.
" I have never met a fat person that rushes home to pig out on brussels sprouts" love your channel - makes sense to me. You're strict, but it's what I need to hear right now after three years of just not paying attention to anything and almost becoming prediabetic. I missed the mark, I'm doing great thanks for your entertainment today. I do have a Homestead and I do grow a lot of vegetables, the ones that I want the ones that fit my lifestyle.
I keep a calorie journal to stay aware of what i eat, i tend to be distracted and it motivates me, keto is easy but bad habits are crazy easy, so it is my solution.
Preach it! I love it! This podcast will be on my loop.🎉
Another fantastic video;; thank you. Whenever I stray from your way of eating I fail miserably. I appreciate the time and energy you take to share your info with us.
I gave up banana nut bread; I gave up blueberry muffins. I was addicted to sugar and flour! I do eat a small amount of fruit. I might-might-give up the occasional banana or small amount of blueberries, if my current diet does not provide a sufficient improvement on my numbers. But not now. I’m not addicted to them! I don’t crave them, the amounts I eat are small and don’t increase. What I must have with a meat-heavy diet, to prevent constipation, are my 5 prunes nearly every day. I’m not talking about infrequent BMs; I’m talking about hard little balls that don’t want to pass without pain and blood. Some carnivore docs say, eat more fat. I eat all the fat on my steaks. I eat butter with my boiled eggs. I get milk fat in my raw dairy. I eat olives maybe 3x/week. The only alternative to prunes would be to drink olive oil every night.
Thanks, I’ll take the prunes!
I expect to see huge improvements in my numbers from just having given up cereals, bread etc., and things made with sugar. I drink a lot of spring water, as a singer I must stay hydrated. Giving up wine and beer is nothing more than a mild annoyance; I always give them up when I’m singing, and never had much to begin with. Not everyone is an addictive personality, or not addicted to everything. When I still ate cookies, I could always stop at three. But if they were in the house, I had them every day. I had to give up desserts, period. In some ways it was harder to give up my rye toast with my bacon and eggs. But none of that was hard. I just fill up on steak, hamburgers, eggs, lamb chops or shanks, chicken with the skin, etc. It helps to avoid Starbucks altogether (because they have the banana nut bread, chocolate croissants, cheese Danish, etc). But I still go to the restaurant where I got carrot cake muffins, and cafe where I got blueberry muffins; I just don’t order them. No problem.
At my inlaws for Thanksgiving, I had some of my niece’s fabulous cheese ball on 3 (only 3) triscuits; ate my fill of the cold ham and turkey buffet, for politeness had a spoonful of potato salad and pasta salad. And-as planned-had a small (really) piece of pumpkin pie without the crust with a small piece of vanilla ice cream. I know I won’t have it again till next Thanksgiving. I was not tempted in the slightest to buy a pie or a box of triscuits. Apparently I’m not addicted to these things. Our social life consists of maybe 4 family gatherings per year. So this is not an ongoing difficulty.
I do eat a few nuts mostly walnuts and pistachios.
It’s an experiment for me. I’m looking for improvements in bloodwork and will do whatever’s necessary, ultimately, to achieve that. In previous years I would never have given up the sweets. But, at 73, I have probably had more than enough sweets for a lifetime. So soon old, so late shmart, as they say.
Excellent video. Plain and simple to understand. Love it. Thank you very much.
The, ‘it’s okay’ conundrum. Never could get with the macros, must haves, amounts of…. I did great in the beginning. Then, the internet clouded me up for a while, information/opinion over load. Trial and error and perseverance brought me to common ground. Brain wars and feeling like crap, brings things in to focus. Glad I stumbled onto your presentations, I should have stuck to my gut feelings and not gotten distracted by talking heads. Course corrections have been made, feeling good about my choices now.
Thank you for this video, it helped me so much. I love all your videos. You are an excellent doctor and teacher .
As always, straight talking and to the point. Thanks.
Wow, I am so happy I found you. I was making myself crazy with counting. Thank you so much. Tia way of eating should be enjoyable and easy.
I have been on Carni for 5 weeks after being in hospital with high blood sugar. A dietician is concerned about my diet and wants me to balance it with vegetables fruits and carbs. Thank you for the video's I really enjoy them and it makes me so much more sure of my choice. Coby
Keep It Simple! Great vid Doc!
Thank you Dr Cywers, this was a useful, helpful video. What to eat to be a low carb carnivore person was troubling me because I was unsure about vegetables. Now it is clear.
So glad I came across you. You made it so simple. Binary, yes/no. Day one. I'm dreading the keto flu. I gave up keto because of constipation and horrible leg cramps despite taking electrolytes and salt. I have to do this. I'm 73 and obese and have bad back pain due to degenerative problems. I'm also a carb addict. I looked at what I bought the other day and it was all sugary carbs apart from a pork pie which of course was heavy on the pastry.
Wow! Like very much the presentation. Has tried low carb but always end cheating.
What an eye-opener, Dr. Cywes !
This was great! I find myself floundering around from tracking, macros low fat/high fat/ one keto/carnivore guru to the next and feeling so lost. Does Dr. Cywes have any kind of community that one could plug themselves into with other like minded followers of the carb addiction model of health?
Food has been my drug of choice since I had a choice!
All carbs trigger my addiction...💯💔🥺
Good on you for recognising the core problem. U R 2 cool.👍🏽👏🏼🖖🙏
…..one third of potato 😢 still triggers my addiction…. Yes / No is the best approach ….
Me too
Love it, love it and love it. My favourite doctor!!❤️
Thanks for the video Dr. Cywes. I always appreciate additional info about the various foods. I fortunately broke my carb addiction in only a few days by not eating grains, sugars, and fruits. Although I had the addiction all my life, I wasn't really aware of it until I broke it. It may sound crazy but one of my favorite foods now is a broiled hamburger topped with some crushed avocado. It seems to create crazy long-term satiety. Have a good one.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making it so simple!
I didn't know it, but I've been doing "yes/no" this whole time. I don't count carbs. I stick to mostly protein, but if my occasional salad adds up to more than 20 grams... oh well? I just omit the crutons and go about my day.
I just found your channel and this video states the carbohydrate issue so well! I loved that you said don't worry about calories, don't worry about net carbs, etc.
Right up until you started the ad portion, for Ketone IQ--now we're worried about calories?!? Now it's ok to drink gatorade zero even though it has 2 grams of carbs, to say nothing of the other nasty chemicals in it including artificial sweetener which triggers insulin response THE SAME WAY as real sugars?!?
What a shame since every single thing you said before and after that was powerful and true. Come on, man!
This may be the best video ever made on the proper way to eat.
thank you for this helpfull info
We on EU have different declarations. I read declarations and it works. I will not start calculating "total carbohydrates" now!
I’m liking everything I’m hearing. I did get taken back when you promoted a ketone drink. Not a fan of product pushing. I will still be watching and contemplating a consult.
Powerade Zero contains zero carbs. Gatorade Zero has modified food starch.
Coming from a carb addict, this really is great advice. For me carbs are all or nothing!!!!!
I’m starting to love this channel
I love this talk. It's simple and straight to the point. Can do a talk highlighting ethnic foods and when resistant starch is appropriate. This is with people of color in mind 🙏🏽
You're right!!
Sometimes people i know say health problems need to take medicine. I say had before no more. They do not believe stop eating carbs help. Joint pain was very bad and stairs was difficult, needed lot pain killers and those gave me more heath problems.
Love you Dr. Cywes
I have been searching and searching for what works to keep me from bingeing out in the evenings. I am single with no children and I think my biggest problem, shockingly, is boredom. Yet, I have a physical job during the day and when I get home I just want to relax. Preface: before I had a bingeing problem I had an alcohol problem. I finally figured it out! It's the TENS unit I bought for my dog (who is no longer with me) there is something about hooking it up to my back and shoulders and giving myself a massage that just melts my tension away and makes me feel content. 😊 I should also mention I'm about 90% carnivore but I still fall off the wagon and that is what I've been trying to work on.
Snap Tammy, in almost everything you said. The only difference with us is alcohol, as I have never liked the taste, which is very lucky for me as I have an addictive personality.
I am a true carb addict though, particularly sweet food (chocolate is my biggest downfall!), and I constantly struggle with carb binge eating. Like you I'm mostly carnivore, but not as much as you, as I eat quite a lot of dairy in the form of daily kefir milk (for my IBS), and I couldn't live/enjoy life without butter, cream and cheese, and a little chocolate treat a few days a week.
Your trigger to binge eating is boredom, whilst my risk is higher with lack of sleep and stress, which are well documented triggers!
Yesssss! Thank you for such clarity!
Thank you so much for this video Dr. Cywes 😊
Btw.. just came back from meat locker with full gras feed cow.. I'm all set👍
This. Is. Genius. I know it’s super simple, but the way you explained this, is genius! Thank you! 👍
Your catch phrase is “ bullshit” . And that’s why I love this channel haha
Thank you 😊
