let’s talk about the nine best ketogenic

diet ingredients all right now this is

based on two things one is low carb and

nutrient-dense the number one would be

shellfish and I’m talking about clams

oysters mussels absolutely amazing for

their trace minerals zinc selenium

iodine chromium and it has DHA what is

DHA that’s a real key on mega 3 fatty

acid so hands down shellfish has the

best trace minerals and healthy fats

number 2 salmon and I’m talking about

Wow caught out of all the fish wild

caught salmon has one of the highest

amounts of omega-3 fatty acids and the

two types that I’m talking about our DHA

and EPA great for the retina of the eye

your brain and the heart and also

high-quality protein as well number

three leafy greens like salads why

because it has the minerals potassium

magnesium and loaded with vitamin C and

these are very easy to digest so I would

consume these raw all right number four

sardines sardines are loaded with the

DHA and EPA those are the omega-3 fatty

acids plus it’s really good protein

number five eggs and I’m talking about

organic pasture-raised eggs have pretty

much every single vitamin except they

don’t have a lot of vitamin C but other

than that they have pretty much

everything else I consume a lot of eggs

and they’re very very healthy

they will not increase your cholesterol

if you’ve heard that eggs will worsen

your cholesterol watch that link down

below because I go through it in depth

and you can actually get the true data

on that but eggs are really really

healthy number six cruciferous

vegetables now with most cruciferous

especially brussel sprouts

and other cruciferous vegetables I

recommend that you steam them because

that will even enhance the final

nutrients

in cruciferous vegetables the big

benefit of cruciferous go beyond just

their vitamins and minerals because

they’re loaded with phytonutrients and

phytonutrients are the extra health

factors that can decrease the

complications from diabetes from

Alzheimer’s it can minimize the damage

that some of these diseases are creating

and also protect you against cancer

alright number seven

avocados low carb healthy fats they’re

extremely healthy but some people can

get bloated if they do too many so I’m

just making a special note of that but

overall they’re very very healthy and

number eight olives and olive oil extra

virgin and organic really good on a

ketogenic diet and number nine grass-fed

grass-finished very important because

they will sometimes finish the cattle

off with grains which could be GMO to

fatten them up for a period of even like

ten months so that’s not good

you wanted a hundred percent certified

grass-fed grass-finished and I recommend

not necessarily having a lean piece of

steak but have a fatty of burger because

that extra fat can even lower the effect

on insulin and it’s easier to digest and

that also includes grass-fed

grass-finished organic hot dogs as well

now on the flip side there are a lot of

foods that we that people eat that are

nothing remotely connected to the

ketogenic diet there are worse than

names like sugar and grains but I’m

going to talk about some of the foods

that people doing keto consume in a

regular basis as in dirty keto and I

want to talk about that first of all

some people consider corn one of the

vegetables and they consume corn on the

ketogenic diet and they will consume

maybe a little bit well the problem is

that most corn like 95% is GMO and this

is the big problem in addition to the

corn being highly glycemic so you don’t

want to consume corn despite it being a

vegetable now yogurt has

a lot of sugar but some people consume

the Greek yogurt but you need to look at

the label because you’re gonna be

surprised how much sugar is in Greek

yogurt now if you’re having a small

amount here and there and you’re

counting those carbs it might be okay

but make sure it’s organic and grass-fed

but overall it’s still not a really good

ingredient all right next one

commercial chicken unfortunately the

chicken is badly processed factory

farmed fed grains overall not the ideal

protein you want to do on a healthy keto

plan alright next one is processed meat

I’m talking about my cold cuts and

things like that even though that would

be considered Quito

you have nitrates you have a lot of

added sugar sometimes they add

monosodium glutamate and definitely it’s

not grass-fed so I’m not gonna recommend

this right here either

now cheese I consume some chase on a

regular basis so it really is the type

of cheese

processed cheese or not from cows that

are grass-fed I don’t recommend that

cheese so if you’re gonna do cheese I

would definitely do grass-fed or organic

or don’t consume it at all but there’s a

lot of people that are sensitive to

certain things and cheese cheese is

originally from milk and there are a lot

of hormonal factors going on there that

can influence someone with a prostate

issue also it can influence women who

have problems with fibroids and cysts in

the breasts or the ovaries so if there’s

anything going on with estrogen

dominance I don’t recommend it and if

you’re going to consume it I don’t

recommend consuming a lot of it a little

bit here and there

alright spinach if the problem with

spinach is it’s loaded with oxalates

oxalates can actually cause kidney

stones you might be okay if you’re not a

stone former you’ve never had a kitty

stone and you’re not having a problem

and you consumed spinach you may be okay

but what’s interesting is if you consume

some cheese you know high-quality cheese

with the spinach this calcium will bind

with the oxalates in your digestive

system

it won’t get absorbed into the blood

into the kidney so the calcium of the

cheese can protect you against the

stones FYI but I just wouldn’t recommend

a lot of spinach I would consume other

vegetables

all right nuts you can definitely overdo

it on the nuts but almonds have the

highest amount of oxalates and if you

have a tendency to get kidney stones not

a good idea some people that are

arthritic should stay away from these as

well because you’d be surprised how many

people that have arthritis really have

just too many foods high in oxalates

which can irritate the joints so if

you’re going to consume nuts or nut

butters or even seeds probably have just

a small amount it’s really easy to do

too many nuts and that can irritate the

gall bladder and the liver and the

digestive tract and vegetables

it sounds really healthy vegetable oils

when in fact this is really grain oils

they’re usually GMO highly inflammatory

but their keto friendly because they’re

low carb and higher fat so there you

have it this is the good list and this

is the bad alright thanks for watching
