me too...but still dare not to eat too much hokkaido pumpkin which has 12.6 net carb. and 100g is 63calories...almost just like potato. I can easily finish the whole hokkaido pumpkin at one go, that's at least 600grams...
Yes, I had someone just ask me about whether or not squash is good and this video provides a really good overview, especially the bit about it being half the carbs of a potato
Thank for this. What I've been doing is following 2 rules. NO processed sugar and NO processed carbs. In about 3 months I've lost 7 inches off my waste. I only eat 4 things now and in this order. Meat, vegetables, some fruit, and some dairy. I'm not lactose intolerant so a little, cheese, milk, and butter is okay. My meals come in 3 styles. Paleo, keto, and vegetarian. And, only whole real food. No; pasta, cereal, bread, basically anything besides fruit that has sugar. Anything in a can or box is gone. It ALL had to go. It's amazing how this effects you!
👍😂🤣😁 We eat a TON of BUTTERNUT squash here in South Africa!!! Everybody loves it. MANY restaurants serve MASHED BUTTERNUT and CREAMED SPINACH as their side veg dishes to accompany a steak.
I eat squash on occasion and absolutely love it. Every BODY is different. In fact, the winter squashes are absolutely phenomenal for IBS. So for those who struggle with IBS either before or from Keto, the squashes really help to settle the gut due to the soluble fiber. I do delicata and butternut pretty often and an occasional spaghetti squash and have never had an issue. This time of year it’s very comforting and grounding. But also i do not ever test my ketone levels. I go by how I feel these days.
Love spaghetti squash noodles it's a favorite keto meal for me. I've tried microwave cooking but I always get wet soggy strands so my fav is roasting which isn't wet out of the oven. Roast in oven halved, prick w/knife a few times on rind, cut side up, buttered & salted 425 °for 30 minutes or until you can scrape strands w/fork. Watch it as you don't want to overcook it..will mush & wont be 'noodles'. Top w/your fav spaghetti meat sauce or pesto. In food processor make an easy pesto: a few walnuts, salt, pepper, tons of basil, a little parsley & arugala, garlic knob, parmesan and blend away w/ enough olive oil to make it the right texture. Toss your squash strands in some pesto, add cherry tomatoes & more parm.
DENNIS Williamson if you want a real treat cut a butternut squash in half deseed and roast till tender but not mush....you can do this in a pressure cooker for 10 min. Then brown some sausage and add cream cheese to that. Scoop sausage mix into the squash and enjoy.....this flavor combo is amazing!
So funny I was heating some spaghetti squash yesterday and wondered if it were keto friendly. Wha La there you are this morning with this video. Are you reading my mind. Thanks a bunch
Same here. Wondering if he would consider making a meal plan to introduce beginners in a ketogenica diet. It can be very hard to pick the right vegetables. Okay we all know the greens don't count and the 7 cups a day and the berries. I am wondering about a sustainable (not feel hungry or bored) menu! ;-)
@@chelsearabello1886 yeah I wonder if small amounts of sweet potatoe is ok? And berries do count if you eat too many so it's the amount you eat in a day if your careful it's ok as there are sugars and carbs to watch out for
@@Taralina1 that's why I wish he would plan a menu. I know there are some already on the market but have you seen any of them? Some vegetables I have never heard of or cooking time is a pain! Also I don't like avocado as a savoury or part of a meal. For me avocado is to be eaten just like any sweet fruit- whole or in smoothies. I can't tolerate those well elaborated bowls with 10 ingredients, munch on raw oats, not to mention chia pudding, I swear I tried to enjoy it ... gosh so many things i wish I loved it lol pardon my long msg hope someone understands my views.
Butternut squash halves, baked in the oven, with topped Trader Joe's "pumpkin pie" spice (contains no sugar) and lots of butter. What an incredible winter treat. I, too, have been avoiding it, and will continue until I have reached my goal weight, just to be safe. Thereafter, life will be good.
Just Googled the nutrition facts of butternut squash and it turns out 100g of butternut squash has 12g of carbs and 2g of fiber, which is 10g of net carbs per 100g, way more than what Dr Berg said in the video. I wonder which one is more correct. All the other kinds of squash has around 7-8g of net carbs per 100g. I still wouldn't risk eating squash after watching this video because I don't believe that 100g of squash has only 1g of net carbs. They taste much sweeter than that.
I miss eating baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon. Did some research of what kind of vegetable taste as close as sweet potatoes, and found that butternut sqaush was it. Loooovveee iittt.
Do the amount of carbs vary by the type of squash? I just googled and saw that 100g of butternut squash has 12 carbs, acorn squash has 10 carbs, and spaghetti squash has 7. All seem to have about 1-2g of fiber per 100g. Could you provide any more info on where the ~3g carbs comes from?
does guarana break a fast? I sometimes drink Hi-ball engery water 0 calories per 16oz can Ingredients as follows: Organic guarana Organic pannax ginseng
Not all squash are created equal, and therefore not all keto friendly. Acorn squash, for example, has 2.9g net carbs in just one ounce! Butternut squash isn't much better at 2.1g per ounce. Spaghetti squash is a little better at 1.4g of net carbs per ounce. Yellow squash comes in at .6g per ounce, and zucchini has .5g. You'd have to eat really small amounts of these and of course figure them into your macros if you really want to have some of the higher carb ones.
When I look squash up in the USDA nutrient database, the carbs are much higher. 100g baked butternut is 11.7g carbohydrate with only two grams of fiber. That's almost 10 net grams. 100g baked acorn is 14.6g carbohydrate with 4 grams of fiber, that's over 10 net grams. Where are your figures coming from? Hubbard squash contains 8.7g carbohydrate and 3.9g fiber, netting 4.2. That could be keto.
Came here after I ate around 500-600grams of Butternut squash and just read on the net that it contains 10g of carbs per 100g, meaning I am above the ,,50g. of net carbs to stay in keto'', but this video is all I needed, Dr. Eric Berg advice is the most important to me, as I started this whole thing of IF 18:6 & Healthy Keto. Thank you! I am very active boy, In fact 4-5 workouts per week + a job that involves a lot of walking + side things that keep me moving throughout the day. I hope I am still in ketosis tho! Right? :D
Dr. Berg are you saying all squash CAN be eaten raw/uncooked? I usually roast most varieties but then use for soups, except yellow squash I normally eat raw. Thank u
Ive always been told squash is fine. But butternut is high in carbs. So Ive avoided that. I usually steam pumpkin. Mash it up, add stevia and a dash of cream and its like a dessert! I do try to keep it to small portions though. My brother is a fussy eater and even he enjoys it like that. I dnt eat it everyday. Usually have a huge green salad or stir fried greens. Bt its so good to change things up so u dnt get bored of eating the same things
I bought some frozen butternut squash this week. The nutrition info says 12 g carbs and only 1 g fiber per 3/4 cup (85g). Definitely NOT keto friendly according to that. I'd love to see others chime in on this!
I started eating spaghetti squash as a new favorite keto meal. Unfortunately I noticed my blood sugars have gone up, my weight loss stalled and I have had to make more trips to the bathroom at night like I used to before starting keto. I think I'll just make it an occasional treat, rather than a regular meal. Leafy greens work better for me, but finding meal variety is my biggest challenge.
I'm really glad you mention the effect on the ketosis. I started doing intermittent fasting but I eat a vegan diet so what I found is that, eating low carb foods, exercising and removing sugar completely from my diet, it just really helps me to get into ketosis during the night, and this already brought so many benefits to my life (no more low blood sugar brainfog, reduction in headaches and sharper mind). I heard that having that flexibility to switch from and to ketosis is in itself good, what do you think about this?
Insulin does more than just lower blood sugars. U guys are fine if the ketone strips go blank for one or two br trips. Also if you drink too much liquids, I feel like it lessens the amount I'd ketones as well, because theres a ton more water compared to normal ketones in ketosis.
I love spaghetti squash so I grew it in my garden this year. I'm so happy it is low in sugar. But one problem I have with your review. What does 100g of SS look like? I'm not a chef or chemist and I'm guessing neither are most of your viewers.
Huh? Eating knocks you out of ketosis? Eating more than about 30g of carbs a day kicks you out of ketosis... not eating. Having an insulin spike doesn’t kick you out of ketosis. I’m confused as heck. Can someone tell me if I’m wrong?
I couldn’t wait to find out and I peeked in the comments! So glad because I love it with butter and cinnamon and I have been thinking it’s a cheat food. Lol
I don't like the Keto diet. I prescribe to the low carb diet, but it seems like a lot of the Keto recipes I've come across are high on sodium. I believe it was the American Diabetes Association that suggests Diabetics consume no more than 1500 grams of sodium a day. I now take recipes from the Keto and cut the salt. I replace it with garlic, oregano, basil, or another spice. I try to use different vegetables and fruits to create the flavor of my dishes instead of the spices.
Thanks Dr. Berg, your videos are so helpful. I am keto, usually under 40 g a day. Am in maintenance mode. Great weight, good health markers. I LOVE my vegetables. All of them. I am wearing a CGM for a few months just to educate myself and was shocked that butternut squash spiked my sugar over 30 points. I thought ALL spikes were bad. I don't eat them alone, always with a meal of protein and fat but still a hefty spike. Do I ever have to worry about a vegetable if it spikes my sugar???
3 years ago I had roasted squash while Keto adapting. While I started eating it, I got the chills, felt flushed immediately and had to go to bed cause I felt like I had the flu. That was my Keto flu and it lasted all of 3 hours. I stopped eating that since then.
I think we need a new term: "Keto friendly". I am on OMAD and leaning out great so I don't really worry about that one meal as I have always eaten healthy. I replaced white potatoes with sweets long ago. Try and tell folks (who are unaware) that white potatoes really aren't good for you if you want to start an argument. The masses have been so well brainwashed. Funny as my wife and I just were wondering if our garden squash could be eaten raw. Guess you answered that too Doc. TY as always.
I swear Dr. Berg live in my head. I was groceries shopping 2 days ago and noticed more squash available. I told myself man I am really gonna missed squash on keto diet. Here come Dr. Berg with a video a day later talking about squash. Is Kabocha squash ok on keto? That's my favorite. I want to know before i go get some on sale for 79 cents a pound.
How do you stay under 20 net carbs and eat squash? I literally ate just avocado, kale, peanut butter, and spaghetti squash today for produce and hit 24 grams of net carbs.
Keto meal delivery service?? Does it exist really?? Where on earth do you live?? I can't find anything with the word keto in supermarkets in UK. Recently I found some vegan choices at supermarkets and Starbucks now sells coffee with almond milk but charges for coconut milk!
Thank God!! I think I like spaghetti squash better than regular noodles. But can't really do keto either. Low carb, low fat, low sugar. I basically have to eat like a rabbit.
Hello dr. Berg, do you have any opinion about these posture correctors that you wrap around your back? Is it healthy? Does it really improve your posture? I would like know...
I’m so glad squash is keto friendly! Good day to you Dr Berg!
I need fruits veggies . I dunno about keto
me too...but still dare not to eat too much hokkaido pumpkin which has 12.6 net carb. and 100g is 63calories...almost just like potato. I can easily finish the whole hokkaido pumpkin at one go, that's at least 600grams...

Butternut squash! Yum! It justifies easing in and out of Keto like most of our ancestors did naturally without any attention to macros!

I am so glad we can eat squash! I do remember Dr. Berg saying anything you eat will raise insulin period.
I am happy to hear this...thanks
Thank you everything is appreciated!!!
I add coconut oil or butter, and heavy with cinnamon.
Interesting... I love squash, but have eliminated it, as I thought it was not a carb friendly food.
Thought so too. 100 g of hokkaido pumpkin has 12.6 net carb..
I did too. I've read on other websites that it has too many carbs, especially butternut. I'm going to have to investigate further.

I agree, I would like to have a reference to his numbers. They seem strange to me
Google knows more than him? Haha nooooo! Lol 😂
Maybe he talks about green butternut squash in his video and Google is about ripe orange which has more carbs sugars
yellow squash is not keto friendly
Google has so many people on there that think they know more than a nutritionist.
Was wondering if I was being good with my spaghetti noodles. Thank you for answering that.
valenciae271 I have done it and it was very good
thank you...i havent heard about ''squash''' in South East Asia apart from table tennis..
fidel catsro very good lol 😂
Wow! Yay! Christmas has come early! I haven't had squash in over a year and now I'll have some again. Thanks Dr Berg!
BEST NEWS EVER! 😍 THANK YOU DR BERG!
Fantastic going to get one spaghetti squash for tonight and try it for first time 😄 thank you Dr Berg for having information on everything ❣️
I miss eating baked sweet potatoes with cinnamon. Did some research of what kind of vegetable taste as close as sweet potatoes, and found that butternut sqaush was it. Loooovveee iittt.
Why can’t you eat sweet potatoes is it bad for health I hear some doctors say diabetics can eat it too so I’m very confused Thank you if you can reply
@Mona Antony It's the carbs in them. You can still go overboard with butternut squash, too, so be aware of that.
This makes me very happy! It's so easy to cut a squash in half and pop it in the oven with butter and salt.
Jenny B I stab it with a knife and microwave for 15 min on a busy day. I definitely prefer the baked. But it's better than junk food.

According to the USA Butternut Squash has _twelve_ grams of carbs per 100gms...
GREAT! I was confused about this!

Dr. Berg are you saying all squash CAN be eaten raw/uncooked? I usually roast most varieties but then use for soups, except yellow squash I normally eat raw. Thank u
If you cook it at too high of a temperature, it destroys the enzymes/nutrients making it taste better but it’s unhealthier though...
You can grate squash and add it to your salads
This is such a relief!!!!! I was so upset to think of giving up squashs, that didnt make sense to me 🙏 now I can be super happy on keto 😊

Very glad to be of help :)
Does cooking it make the sugars increase and if so is it still keto.
