Hello Dr Becky I want to know how you make the right keto plan for a person? Your the one who decide what the person eat or is based on their weight?
Cheers for this, I've been looking for "are plums and nectarines related?" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Giyaarter Unflappable Gratification - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing one off guide for learning what to eat to balance hormones and eliminating trouble fat spots minus the hard work. Ive heard some unbelievable things about it and my partner got cool results with it.
How much fat should you eat if consuming 125 grams per carbs a day? 50-60 percent?
i’m 16 and have been taking in about 1800 calories a day and less than 100 carbs a day and with constant workouts i went from 220 to 160 in only 4 months
I bet you feel so much better. Congrats on taking care of your health.
Well done
Good for you girl
Well done. 😃
Thank you for this !!!! Motivation ✨✨🌟
I'm a quadriplegic and have been for about 16 years. I've been gradually gaining because I wasn't paying attention but now it's quite upsetting because I'm 5' 2" and 174 lbs. I've been off potatoes, bread and just recently after watching a few of Dr. Becky's videos, I'm eating nothing but eggs and salmon. It's a start!
I am over 65 and started doing between 50-100 grams of carbs a day in April and have lost 22 pounds to date.
Lysander Spooner great 👍 congratulations 🎉
@@lucyburr5516 Thanks. I am going for another 15 pounds!
That's great!
Carbs or net carbs (carbs minus fiber)?
Sounds good for me😀I am 65
This is my hubby's youtube acct. I'm Kristen and I'm 50. I go about 20- 50. I've been losing pretty good with that range! I have about 70 lbs to go. I fell on my tailbone going into church, black ice 8 years ago. Put on a lot of weight from bad diet and bad meds. Finally found the right diet.
Kristin, I hope things are going well for you! I grew up around Lake Ontario, and would slip on the ice and bruise my coxyx or tailbone each year, as if it were an annual event. Then it would hurt the whole year long, easing up only slightly before I would inevitably slip and fall on it again. As a 58 year old woman, I've just started a keto diet, and am heartened by the stories I hear from folks. I'm sad to leave some of my favorite foods, but good health is so important to a happy life, so I'm ready to work it. I hope things are going better for you!
@@ShellBAtoms yes, thank you. I've been low carbing the best I can. Also doing DDP Yoga. I'm a Medical Assistant but I don't practice. I've been doctoring myself also! Oh, and I'm down almost 30 lbs
Hi, do you mind telling me what you eat in a day? I’ started yesterday and today I’m like ohhhh lord not eggs again😢😁
@@leesa9615 Look up Dr. Westman's diet. In the booklet I got from the doctor it tells all the foods to eat! He's also on youtube! I found him in one of my magazines Woman's World and on the 700 Club!
@@stonecoldwwe13 thank you so much!
I do 50 to 100 on a good day. Thank you for this break down. I was not aware of the number to be considered low carb.
I appreciate your mention of gender, age & hormones, (I’m a 60 year old female). This year has been my most difficult in light of the realization of how few calories I need on daily basis. Plus, I have to be much more intentional to exercise regularly. Your information on carbohydrates today is enlightening, 👍. I check your videos weekly and am blessed by the valuable information!
Thank you, Dr. Becky!!
I’ve found low-carb works better than keto because my mind gets too slow on keto.
Hi Ultra, many people thrive on a low-carb (not keto) diet.
SAME HERE 😊
How much carbs you eat. what's low carb for you.
Yeah low carb is the way to go.. especially because i intermittent fast
I reduced my carbs to under 50gm...cold turkey a week ago...now I feel lightheaded and dizzy ...but the swelling in my lower extremities went down tremendously... which I'm happy about... what's going on?
I enjoyed your video. I do under 15 carbs/day, I'm over 50, do intermittent fasting 10+ hrs & I avg 8+ lbs a month. Great weight loss program to maintain on too!
That’s good . But if you are eating so little you should of lost way more of the keto alone
I am drawn to people - and CZcams hosts-who are smart…and kind.
Appreciate your videos. They are informative, the tone is pleasant and calm. I love that. I’ve learned a lot watching your videos. Thank you.
Dr. Becky, you are the BEST, there is nobody like you in the way you present yourself and the knowledge you provide! You have helped me beyond measure and I thank you very much!
The best answer i read was...
Start low enough to achieve the purple color in the urine test strips.
Then sdd 5 carbs more for 4 days.
Check more test strips again.
If you're still in the purple, then add another 5 carbs per day, for 4 more days, and so on, till your test strip doesn't show in the purple.
Then back off 5 carbs per day, snd that should be your limit.
If you eat more than once, per day....
It may be best if you dont consume ANY carbs st all, except in just one meal.
What a wise video... Full of useful information and with examples easy to understand! Thank you so much for sharing!!
Dr. Becky could convince me to do almost anything 😃 😄 😅 😆. Great information here for beginners. I used a step down method myself a few months ago but it involved replacing a meal a day with a keto meal, then two then keto all the way. The transition was very easy with no side effects other than the massive amounts of pee I excreted for a week. No keto flu either.
This was great carb info! Thanks 🙏
I always learn so much every new vlog thank you so much Becky ciao
Great simple information in a nutshell!
I'm so going to try the 21 day challenge and I really wanted to try IF so I'm glad that can be worked in. I'm really excited to get started!!!!
You always make sense, one of the few people i listen to. Thank you 😊
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and educating me! You are truly a blessing! God bless!❤️
It is so great to get this info! TY!!
Thank you for breaking this down!
I love this video. Super Informative. Trying to get to a more moderate carb diet .
Another Awesome video Thanks Much Love ❤❤❤
I just stumbled across this. She’s so calm and knowledgeable.
Thanks Dr. Becky - just love you videos!
Thanks, Stina!
Great information Doctor!
After watching many videos, I've done the 21 day challenge and am continuing on with very low carb for another few weeks. It's been a drastic change, but very positive and not just in terms of weight. Pondering what comes as a next step. :-)
Hi published1789, it's great to hear that you had a positive experience with our 21-Day Challenge. If you're interested in the next step, you may want to look into my Freedom Health Program: www.drbeckyfitness.com/course/coaching-course/
Thanks Dr. Becky. Refined carbs are as poison to me. I'm 66 turning 67 and built like a defensive end or offensive guard football player. Can't touch refined carbs, except as a fun reward. Started losing when I started counting carbs.
That you doctor for you informative information and getting straight to the point with no useless dead talking to make the video longer..
Very helpful. Thanks ! So realistic
Very good information. Thanks for sharing. I am dealing with a set back in my weight loss plan. I have peroneal tendinitis in my outer left ankle and now have to wear an immobilization boot for several weeks. To offset my lower activity level, l am going to cut my caloric intake by about 100 calories. Today is day 3 with the boot.
Great content as usual...no one really explains the step down method. This seems to be the most sustainable way of cutting carbs. Thank you!!
I figured it out on my own but it worked for me. I started with one keto meal a day, then two then three. Took me about 2 weeks in total to get to a full keto diet and the transition was as smooth as possible. No keto flu, no side effects other than the usual massive amounts of pee for a week!!
Thanks for sharing. Good idea!
Great information!
i love Dr. Becky!
Great reminders Becky! ....All carbs are not created equal!
This was so very helpful thank you so much.
What is more important: 5% of calories from carbs or 30 grams? I have no appetite on Keto, if I'm not hungry, I feel I shouldn't eat. But then some days my 20 carbs might be 15% of my calories. Thank you for your content!
Thank you for taking a few minutes to produce this video, it made sense, was easy to understand and the food comparison was helpful.🙂
It doesn’t take a few minutes to edit or make videos. It takes days and hours
Good stuff!
You can eat 150g of carbs a day and still lose weight, providing that is your main source of fuel and 90% of the calories are coming from whole food. The standard western diet is high in refined carbs, and high in saturated fat, which leads to obesity
I eat Ezekiel bread! Is that good carbs to eat? Thank you very much for the info,love you videos. ❤️
As always, interesting information! Thanks!
Your videos are so accessible to everyone, no matter what their knowledge or experience is with the keto world. Thanks for all you do to help others!
I get your understanding
Just started my low carb journey and hope to stay that way for rest of my life with high carb up days to give myself wiggle room and enjoyment. It’s all about balance. Staying away from high sugar fruits and high starches , and high starchy veggies.
Great video!! Has anyone tried her 21 day Keto challenge?
Also forgot to state for anybody getting extreme bloat I had to cut out cruciferous vegetables. I'd eat them and my tummy would hurt and I'd feel like I was going to have a baby I was so bloated. So I tried a day of no cruciferous vegetables and I felt so much better with that. I'm eating other veggies that doesn't cause any issues.
I just recently started low carb because I put on belly fat over the years and have been diagnosed with pre diabetes. I’m working on reversing that. I’ve already lost some weight plus I didn’t feel bad at all when I went to low carb. I took to it right away. I am female 65 years old and I realize this is a life change not a temporary fix. It is proven to help weight loss and can reverse pre diabetes and diabetes type 2 if you really stick to it, so it’s a no-brainer for me. I try to stay around 50g of carbs per day.
Good info. Please address the effects of gluten on blood sugar levels. Even “low carb” items such as tortillas can be devastating to blood sugar levels. I am diabetic and have had disastrous levels from foods that are touted as safe. I realize not everyone has issues with gluten ( I didn’t know I did) but elimination of it can be so helpful in keeping blood sugar levels down.
The Mission brand low carb tortillas claim 3 net carbs per serving. I had one after a test result of 85. Within 45 minutes I tested at 180. Terrifying!
Hi Lynn, your test did a good job of explaining why I encourage people to count total carbs, not net carbs. I have a video about it: czcams.com/video/B122h2GLydQ/video.html
Lynn Berdan , I am diabetic as well. Do you know and understand the term glycemic index and glycemic load. All grains will cause a spike in blood sugar. So just because a food is low carb does not mean low glycemic index. Most brand gluten free use potatoe or rice, which will spike sugar. If you must have a “bread” then look for keto online they are extra expensive.
Might want to look for other ways to eat as in a bowl or wrap in lettuce.
Gluten free mean wheat free which is a start, but us diabetic have to test all foods. Even honey and apple spiked my sugar.
I have found best diabetes helpful with Dennis Pollock he test food with his not diabetic wife. He is on you tube as well.
Vegetables and protein seem to work. One brownie and it is good bye sugar control for that day and maybe even the next.
I have found Berberine to be helpful on a day that I was not mindful, or if I know it will be a higher carbs meal. I do not take insulin. On Metformin ER.
For the first few months test your meals and record what you eat, then you know. But yeah wraps can still make you reading jump 40 pr more points. I ask myself I’d this spike worth it to me. Or would I rather have a low HbA1c. Many good doctor with say you want in the lower 5.0s rather than the prediabetic 5,7% or above.
I want to keep my feet, eyes, kidneys and brain. Diabetes can be as bad as cancer if not taken very seriously.
Best of luck and may you get low sugar an hour after a meal or snack.
Thank you.
Your definitely spot on
I use to do keto and eat around 20 g of carbs ,I developed fibroids I was eating a clean keto diet,then I tried to eat more carbs because I read that when you have fibroids you need to eat more fruit ,veg& pulses etc I tried but my body doesn't get along with to many carbs ,so I'm trying to have around 50/60 grams a day ...I understand that everyone it's crazy about keto I use to be also it seemed to work well till I developed fibroids and I started to have a lot of problems with my period s...So everyone it's different
Dr Becky I was wondering if you could answer a question. Ive Watch your videos on how many carbs to have for low-carb versus keto and my dilemma is I’m trying to figure out the appropriate macro for fat and protein if you’re doing low-carb, not keto. Because if you’re doing low-carb and you’re eating no more than 75 g of carbohydrates per day then what percentages should your fat / protein macro be set at so that your not being counter productive and just eating high fat. Because the high fat is mainly for ketosis right? If you have a video on this already maybe you could let me know and I’ll watch it. I’ve been searching trying to find the answers to this question lol.
I call my metabolism rate The Gundecker Glacier. Right now I'm in the Cretaceous Period and looking forward to pre-history.
😁
😂
Is there a way or test to measure how fast your body metabolizes food?
Good point about making sure you get all the necessary nutrients on a low carb diet. I take a high quality, whole food vitamin to make sure I get what I am missing in my diet. I use Garden of Life products. What do you recommend ?
Dr. Becky, I am interested in your 21 day Keto Challenge. My question is : can intermittent fasting be incorporated w it? I have been following Keto for a while , but confused about eating veggies like a big salad for lunch and dinner. Do you count those salad carbs? Mixed greens, cucumbers?
Hi Kim, yes, I explain how to incorporate intermittent fasting into the challenge and the daily menus contain a salad and vegetables, but still keep your total carbs under 25 grams per day.
I don't get results on keto either! I have 5'8, never been over weight but I weight 155lb. Would normally be 140 but gained weight because of meds and have been having a lot of trouble loosing. My problem is eating too much, keto or not.
Dr.becky, I have been eating two avacados per day.
I am on the 22 - 2 diet.
I fast 22 hours and eat in a 2 hour window.
I am doing the omad.
I have an underactive thyroid.
Should I eat less fat to burn my own fat.
I have been doing this plan for 1 month so far.
Should I just count carbs or net carbs?
The key is to eating the good carbs that are mostly from certain groups of vegetables with the correct amount of fat. This helps our T-2 & T-3 levels from thyroid hormones that help us not only burn fat, but it also burns any sugar related carbs. I dont eat any sugar carbs, even low keto lemon bars can slow down T-2 &T-3 levels. If I make lemon bars I usually only eat them as a treat for maybe one serving per week, I do use only Swerve as the sweetener too, not regular sugar. The best veggies that are good for overall body and, the T levels are Asparagus, this is also good for the kidneys even fights off cancer.
I have been trying to do healthy keto under 20 g of carbs a day finding it very hard to eat a decent size salad and fresh vegetables without going over 20 carbs. I like at least 3 cups of salad and a cup of broccoli or healthy vegetable and doing that it is well over 40 carbs. How is it possible to have a healthy amount of fresh vegetables without going over 20 carbs ?
I was a sugar addict. Had 6-7 sprites a day, ate icecream every night with chockolate and whipped cream plus sprinkles. Did this for a year gained 30 lbs. Now I tried to do 50 carbs or less without gradually going down, I was so sick. Now Its been a week 1/2 I'm at 70-80 carbs drinking Sprite 0 and if I want icecream I do the heavy Whipping Cream and add vanilla extract with some organic Justin's peanut butter or strawberries. I'm eating salad 4 times a week with meat. The first few days I felt so sick, I had to eat a piece of wheat bread with peanut butter to get carbs fast. I'm finally feeling good, no bread now and have bought healthy alternatives to sugar and flours etc. I had to change my lifestyle. Always been 145 my entire life, until I went to 185 age 42 at 5'5. I already feel like I've lost 7 pounds or so. Especially in my belly region where I gained the weight. 🤞I am focused and will stay on this lifestyle for ever
I have had Hypothyroidism for 45yrs. Been on a Keto diet for 13 months. I have to be lower than 12 grams of carbs per day to remain in Ketosis.
Can you eat the higher end of low carb if you are swimming 1.25-2 miles 3x a week? Would you eat higher or lower carbs before or after?
I'm averaging less than 50 grams of carbs a day and about 1350 calories, my metabolism must be so slow it's going in reverse. Plus I exercise six days a week and intermittent fast 15 hours a day.
Maybe your caloric intake is low. If you're doing low carb, it's best to up your calorie intake between 1800-2000 calories for your weight. Also, only eat lean foods. No sweets aka refined carbs. I only know because when I do a low carb diet and don't eat enough calories for my size, I gain the water weight of even just maintain. Also, increase your water intake.
So I guess I should talk to my doctor and then a dietician. I'm 27, weigh 310 lbs and I'm 5ft9. My A1C is 5.5 and son far as I can tell the only other iffy thing is my cholesterol I'd a tad bit high but not enough to require medication. Do you think I'd be benefit from the low carb diet?
I know this is late. Hope you are doing well. Check out videos by Dr. Jason Fung, Dr. Berg, and other KETO docs on you tube. Intermittent fasting and low carb healthy foods will do amazing things for you!
If s/o would follow low card diet how much percentage of the total calories???
I have insulin resistance that doesn't seem to be going any time soon so I get zero weight loss unless I keep daily carbs to under 20g, which can be frustrating to maintain every day for years long term.
I read that for people who are only within the first 6 months of IR that it's reversible- I've had it for 3 years that I know of and possibly longer than that.
My whole life I've been a sugar and carb addict and I'm almost 43 now.
I have heard that with KETO Diet you can reverse IR. Check Dr Eric Berg on CZcams
Hi Rach! May I ask you how you found this out?
Being a vegetarian, I have a hard time keeping carbs under 20 as well. I don't think I could sustain that for life. I'm trying to keep carbs under 50. I'm 57 and my weight wasn't budging until I began to intermittent fast for 16-20 hrs a day (watching what I eat as well of course, but not full on keto as I eat fruit). Walking about 30 mins at least every other day is also helping my metabolism. It took me a year to lose 20 lbs. My stomach still looked huge from the insulin resistance, but now that I've lost 5 more lbs and over a year later, my stomach is finally starting to look smaller. So it took me a little over a year to get to this point (from 170 to 145 lbs). But in the beginning I wasn't intermittent fasting for as long as I am now and I was occasionally cheating. Now the weight seems to be coming off faster. I still have at least 20 lbs to go (I'm only 5 ft tall). So it just takes time and patience to reverse the IR but it can be done.
I seem to gain weight within a day( measuring waist ) If I eat more than 40 carbs a day, eaven on 1000 calorydiet/ day. I seem to get a smaller waist If I stay under 20 gr/day on a 1000 calory diet. Then I get carbs from dairy, eggs, vegetables, nuts. If I eat only leafy greens and meat, fish, chicken, oliveoil, coconutbutter or butter and eat once or twice a day, only Tea or water for breakfast and on evening Then I loose noticeable weight.
For menopausal women is it more important to do IF or low carb ?
I always wondered how could a young man fall in love with a woman in her 50s. Now I know when I fell for Dr Becky Gillaspy. It is not people get old and they look old, actually they left persuasion to look always their best.
Shall i cook 100 gm of rice for my daily requirement? I am diabetic from india.
Isn't it dangerous to be on a keto diet? I was told by a nurse practitioner that your body could go into ketoacidosis which could be very harmful . also doesn't your brain need gluclose to function properly. I try to keep my carbs at 50 grams for each meal with a total of 150 grams a day. Also if I eat something with sugar I eat some protein to slow the digestion of the sugar.I find your videos very enjoyable and informational
Are the carb regerence ranges impact/net carbs or total? Do you advocate subtracting fibre to calculate the carbs?
total carbs
Is this for counting net carbs or carbs in general
I need help with weight while being diabetic and taking insulin. It seems virtually impossible. PLEASE HELP
I have my first meal at 12ish which is protein and fat and then I have my second and final meal around 6ish which I allow for 100g max. Weight is going down consistently, no cravings, no hunger, no tiredness or energy dips 😊
Your method seems a bit like "The Carbohydrate Addicts Diet", from the 1980's
I was eating 1000 cal (250 g carbs) a day of carbohydrates with a diet of 1750 cal and I was losing 1lb a week. Does that answer your question
You have such a soothing voice to listen to, and quite stunning to boot.
Great info as always. 😁
What is the best diet ?
Keto or low carb
Do you have any comments on bone broth?
The best thing I found out about my body is that I can very easily maintain my weight eating whatever I want, as long as Im moderately active. But if I let myself go, its game over because I can gain weight very very fast. As long I lose the weight I need to lose, ill be good, I just need to lose that weight
What about high protein, mod fat and low carb
It seems that so I have to eat all brand every morning for breakfast to keep myself regular. Otherwise I have stomach cramps and nothing happens. I know that all brand is high in carbs. This is a problem.
FYI I am also insulin resistance and have pcos, so maybe that’s why it’s abnormally difficult for me to lose
Hi Becky, how do you deal w/hair issues on keto? My hair grow is good but the hair thickness is not. My hair has changed so much since I started keto last year. Any advice?
How about the fact that almonds are very high in phytic acid, which can have negative effects on your health....
do we also need to cut calories. I did week one on 50g carbs a day and with three low carb meals a day i was eating double my usual calories and gained 4lb
You can't lose weight without a calorie deficit. I try to aim for 1500 calories per day at the very most. 1300 is ideal.
I was just going to say I do well off 60 to 75 grams of carbs per day and then the doctor stated that in the video. Yeah I was in full ketosis and my body felt so strange, I had palpitations and I felt weak and I felt like I was going to pass out. I didn't like the feeling much less the keto body odor that was horrible lol so I had to revive my body with a serving of black beans and garlic. Wow I felt human again and I went back to my usual carb amounts and doing great. So keto is not for me but low carb is great. Lost 15 pounds this month and I'm 51 so I feel that's an amazing accomplishment for someone that doesn't lose weight too easy at this stage.
You have to be careful to make sure you get enough potassium from avocados or pistachios or from other low carb sources to keep from getting palpitations. My daughter has struggled with that a lot. Also Magnesium and salt plus around 600 mg of calcium. It's really easy to get very depleted doing keto.
I am on day 30 of keto, keeping around 20 g of carbs daily. I am Female, barely over 50, not hit menopause yet and have only lost 5 pounds. Have lots of migraines and am wanting to lose 6-8 more pounds and get rid of migraines, but had one yesterday...so still figuring out my macros. 😳 Feeling frustrated. I do I.F. 6 days of the week.
I use a glutathione patch (glutathione is your most powerful antioxidant) and it completely stopped my headaches which I had had almost constantly for 4 years. I get them from Patch md. I was using NAC (taken orally) which makes your body produce glutathione, but the NAC caused constipation... and since glutathione isn't well absorbed taken orally, I found the patches. They are 500 mg of glutathione and 600 mg NAC with other stuff that helps you absorb it. Glutathione is sometimes used to help people heal after surgery... and NAC is the only thing that helps people who have liver failure from acetamenafen overdose.
Glutathione is good for immunity, detox, and metabolism... so maybe it would help you with your weight loss too... Anyway, this is what worked for me... Do a little research and you may find it worth trying.
@@carolf9302 Thank you. I just had another debilitating migraine yesterday. Soooo frustrating! I have never heard of this patch and I will look for it now. Thank you for recommending it. 💙
What if you don't need to lose weight but want the health benefits?
Eating only healthy carbs (not 3 Cs) are you saying 50-100 total carbs or net carbs?
I’ve gotten myself down to around 50g of carbs a day or less so am borderline keto right now. I switched to cooking almost all of my own meals, almost no sugar (except dark chocolate) and eat only from a restricted food list of things I know I can tolerate. I take phentermine and metformin along with these dietary changes. I get a ton of mood swings and am barely managing, but I’m doing it. The weight is dropping by maybe 1-2 lbs every other week lmao 🤣
Are you talking total or net carbs?
I follow a vegan diet and a typical day of eating consists of about 80g of carbs. I think staying below 50g would be virtually impossible for me as I eat so many vegetables - I stick to low carb veggies but when that's most of what you eat in a day it would still be extremely difficult staying below 50g and not starving/depriving yourself! Since cutting out refined carbs my body has changed drastically, I feel that sticking to around 80g on a vegan diet is the most sustainable for me long term.
How many carbs does a person need with a low thyroid? Without carbs I don't feel right.
You haven't mention how many many grams of fat and protein we need in low carb diet or percentage.can you please tell me.
It depends on your caloric needs
