hey guys I’m back with five myths okay

that are completely wrong let’s go

through them number one all that fat

will give you a heart attack have you

ever heard that before absolutely not

true

fat is only bad if you add the

carbohydrates okay like in you know ice

cream for example and if you add sugar

or carbs with protein I’m not talking

about vegetables and protein I’m talking

about sugar and protein that’s bad

because that combination creates what’s

called glycation and it gets you develop

sticky blood and all sorts of protein

and products that are very damaging to

the tissue so it’s not bad for the heart

because you’re lowering your

carbohydrate and at my next keto Summit

hopefully you can attend we have two

cardiologists that have been in practice

quite a while and they’re going to be

speaking on this very topic so you might

want to come to that all right number

two low carbohydrate diets can starve

the brain right because our brain needs

carbohydrates or glucose it is true that

the brain runs on glucose but it can

also run on ketones okay which is the

byproduct of fat when you have

neurodegenerative diseases like

Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s those

neurons are completely deprived of

glucose and that’s why they’re dying but

that’s coming from insulin resistance

what causes insulin resistance chronic

consumption of carbohydrates chronic

elevation of insulin and what happens is

you start to block the availability of

insulin and starve the fuel for those

neurons when you bypass the whole

glucose thing and run your body and

ketones your neurons thrive and when you

add in a minute fasting which I always

recommend you will get neurogenesis the

regrowing of brain cells you’re actually

brain grows back

so low-carb diets do not starve the

brain they feed the brain high

carbohydrate diets starve the brain

that’s the truth take a look at any

diabetic who’s on high carbohydrates

right they usually are very high risk

for all sorts of neurological problems

in neuro degeneration in the brain

number three high-protein diets can

cause bad breath and we’ll just add in

their constipation right

I heard that before well first of all

the ketogenic diet is not a high-protein

diet okay it’s a moderate protein diet

and that protein in the ketogenic diet

is very necessary because when you go

low protein there’s all sorts of

complications including a loss of muscle

protein a lack of raw material for

repair and neurotransmitter production

so it’s not the protein that caused the

bad breath the constipation it’s the

excessive carbohydrates okay

but again the ketogenic diet is not high

protein it’s a moderate protein and

before

Keele acidosis is a dangerous side

effect it is a dangerous side effect of

diabetic type one and sometimes a

diabetic type - who’s on insulin but if

you’re doing nutritional ketosis you are

actually bringing the person away from

diabetes type two you’re preventing that

you’re improving that you’re not going

to get ketoacidosis by doing ketosis

this is pathological and the other is

very therapeutic

especially - even cancer cells alright

number five eating butter and bacon fat

is not sustainable long term well

actually a lot of people are gonna say

it is sustainable long term because if

you’re adding more fat you’re gonna

stick to it long longer because you’re

satisfied but you’re on a ketogenic diet

you’re not just eating pure lard and fat

and bacon grease you’re eating the whole

food and you’re eating the fat with it

some people in the beginning add more

fat so they can go from one meal to the

next one fasting but it’s not just a

high-fat diet it’s a low carbohydrate

diet which just so happens to have

healthy fats in there and they’re very

very healthy and we’re also talking

about healthy butter like from grass-fed

cows and we’re talking about organic

bacon you don’t have to do make him I

mean what’s really not sustainable and

very unhealthy is all the vegetable oils

like the corn oil and the soy oil that

people are pushing on you it’s in all

the dressings it’s in a lot of your food

in fact 25% of the food that you eat in

the grocery store is made from corn corn

oil I for

just corn syrup and definitely if you if

we add in their soy it’s probably

another 20% a tremendous amount of food

is soy and corn especially in those oils

and that is very unhealthy long term

because it’s GMO and that’s glyphosate

residue and it’s also badly processed so

the saturated fats have been around for

a very long time and they are really not

the bad guy alright guys thanks for
