man i’ll never forget uh my wife and i

went to this restaurant in new york

an indian restaurant

and we’re literally sitting there

enjoying

this food

and we both cannot speak

it was so delicious we didn’t speak for

an entire hour we’re just literally

blown away at the incredible flavors of

all these spices so my favorite food is

indian food

but the problem is

it comes with a package it’s very hard

to find indian food without this thing

called

sugar and out of all the countries

that use sugar

india is at the top the very top of the

list

india has a love affair

with sugar it’s the largest consumer of

sugar in the world it’s the second

largest producer of sugar in the world

behind brazil in fact they invented how

to refine sugar

over 2 000 years ago it’s actually 2 372

years to be exact and so the whole

spreading of this sugar started from

india every traditional celebration

involves sweets religious social

gatherings festivals

weddings holidays you name it there’s

going to be suites you know america they

have these indian specialty market

stores

you cannot find a product without

some type of sugar there’s also two

types of traditional sugars that india

uses one is called kanseri which is kind

of a partially refined sugar with

some unrefined sugar together basically

you’re adding some molasses to it so

they’re going to add some vitamins and

then they have jaggery which is another

form of sugar which you’re combining

either sugarcane sometimes with date

sugar or palm sugar

in india the average person consumes

8.7 kilograms of just the traditional

sugars every single year that’s 19

pounds of sugar every single year and

we’re only talking about these two

traditional types of sugar it’s

incredible so unfortunately

this addiction i mean tradition

is so embedded in society that it’s

going to be really hard to change i mean

in 2005

25 of the population was overweight and

obese

and then in 2013

that rose to roughly 64

of the entire population is overweight

or obese there’s over 65 million people

who have type 2 diabetes in india that

is number two in the world behind china

sugar sweetened beverages from 1995 went

from two liters of this liquid sugar

candy type substance

to in 2015

an average person consumed 12 liters

of this liquid sugar this is on top of

all the other sugars i mean it’s just

it’s over the top and so the only change

is not going to come from

taxing people on eating sugar and

punishing them and forcing them to eat

healthy it’s going to come from

you

you changing your diet

and you becoming healthy and having

people look at you and go wow you look

amazing i want to make that change so

honestly once you understand

how to make

these recipes with alternative sugars

it’s not going to be that hard and the

taste with all those amazing spices and

aromas

could be virtually identical so there

are many different indian dishes that

you can make either without sugar or

with sugar alternatives and the cool

thing is the health benefits of all

these different herbs and spices

are amazing but when you add sugar it

kind of nullifies all the wonderful

benefits anti-inflammatory anti-cancer

anti-diabetic properties so let me first

talk about some keto friendly

indian dishes that you can start eating

immediately okay we have pioneer cheese

this is a traditional indian cottage

cheese made from either cow or buffalo

milk

it’s great when you mix with spinach or

other types of foods i mean one cup you

have 22 grams of protein 29 grams of fat

which is great if you’re on the keto

plan and only 3.6 grams net carb then we

have another dish called avl avl is a

south indian keto friendly dish it’s

basically vegetable stew that is cooked

with seasonal vegetables like green

beans

drumsticks red pumpkin eggplant and

coconut milk and of course they add the

curry leaves to just make it awesome so

one serving is really only 1.7 grams of

net carbs

that’s incredible then we have a masala

omelette you’re cooking with butter

olive oil cheese you could probably put

some bacon in there if you wanted but

this is basically eggs onions tomatoes

with chili pepper turmeric coriander and

green chili quite delicious and very

keto friendly i think it’s four carbs

per serving then you have the mutton

seek kebab now mutton could be either

lamb or goat but you’re cooking this

with butter and onions and a blend of

amazing spices one serving is only three

grams of net carbs and what about

tandoori gobi these are delicious

cauliflower bites they use a very

delicious spice yogurt marinade grilled

in an air fryer or oven or even the

stovetop this is only 4.8 grams of net

carbs another one is chicken korma this

is a great dish where you’re combining

chicken with certain vegetables with a

yogurt sauce and of course amazing

indian spices for that wonderful gravy

this one only has 4.8 grams of net carbs

then we have the indian coconut shrimp

curry it takes less than a half hour to

make it only has three grams of net

carbs and it’s total keto so there’s

many different low carb recipes that you

can make and still have that wonderful

delicious taste

yet without the sugar so i’m going to

put some amazing indian recipes down

below that my wife and i made but your

next step is to get on keto to help you

do that i created a very very simple

playlist of short videos to get started
