so so happy we had a chance to connect

up because i just got an email

about what you’re doing and i was like

wow this is amazing i have to meet you

and

see what you’re up to

so you’re actually one of one of my keto

coaches right

yes yes of course it’s my pleasure and

this is my uh this is my certificate

wow that’s great

and so you are located in a couple

places right i think

in the middle east uh two different i

think two different countries right

i am located in jordan

okay

yes okay

wow and you have quite a large youtube

channel you’re helping so many people

wow

yes i have a youtube channel that is uh

any all

all the topics that that in it include

it’s focused on low carbohydrate dates

life style it’s samara’s keto life

that is so amazing and i see there’s a

really cool book behind you i see that i

like that it’s called

the um

keto and

i can see that actually

yeah the body type okay the type

that’s great

looks very familiar

so so ted tell me a little bit about how

you found out about uh

keto and my program and just in general

did you have any you had health problems

or

any other issues or

at first and most of the people will

will will have some problems including

insulin resistance in their life they

are eating carbohydrates

i’ve begun keto five years from now

at that time i was a structural engineer

and the trainer in the jordanian

[Music]

training center for engineers

and

i’ve begin with the stress of life begin

to gain weight

especially in the central obesity

so

and i begin to search about diets and

trying to lower my correct intake in

order to

lose that excess weight and even though

i was a cyclist and i jogging i ha i

practice jogging and running

it doesn’t

help me to lose that weight uh

accidentally at that that

period of time i’ve stood and i’ve

saw a strange topic

in the youtube

if you want to lose weight

if you want to lose fat eat fat

a strange topic

at that time five years ago in the

middle east there’s no one know about

the ketogenic diet it was in the united

states booming in the united states but

not in the middle east

so

[Music]

i’ve listened to the video watched the

video from the end from the beginning to

the end

after i finished it i decided to begin

with the ketogenic diet the day after it

wow so

immediately

it clicked my mind

so

i began with the keto flu issue the

constipation by changing the

fiber and the meals so i begin to search

on youtube and end up with

uh what is keto where what’s accepted

and what is not

and of course and i’ve

watched your videos and began they

become addicted to your videos

wow that’s awesome thank you

fine thanks

so so you basically um

you had this stomach area and you just

you search it out and being an engineer

you probably want to know all about the

details you want to know why it works

and it just makes sense to you because

you think

you think logically cause and effect

unlike the medical profession sometimes

they don’t really think like an engineer

ah

of course any when i was in engineering

schools whatever in engineering school

whatever we we have learned

we begin by learning the cause

what is the the the derivation of the

equation how does the equation

ends

and after we know the the the

experimentation the explanation and the

derivation we begin with the with the

science

in medical is too cool in nutrition

because i i’ve quit my job at the end

and studied nutrition

there’s

no

when you are studying the

the literature you are not studying the

the the roots of the literature

you are all what you are studying at the

end is the recommendation for the rda or

the recommendation for the experts so in

with the topic of cholesterol

we’ve studied all

from the first year in nutrition to the

final to the end

cholesterol is bad low saturated fats

where’s the clue where’s the research

we have not we have never been

exploded

studied the research

even the the ketone bodies and how how

does it work

we’ve never studied and the doctors who

never any

opened this topic in a good way

while it is in the literature in in the

textbook you can study the the ketogenic

in the biochemistry it’s in the the book

but it is not in the syllabus

you’re right you’re right totally it’s

not there and so um

you give someone who doesn’t understand

these basic

words these basic principles

and

it doesn’t make sense to them but when

they think keto they think um keto

acidosis diabetes that’s as far as it

goes now it’s dangerous stay away from

it because

the word is similar but but so it’s like

you really have to understand the uh

like you said the basics and the root uh

uh that’s why i have um

lots of dictionaries because when you go

into this medical literature you

there’s probably going to be about at

least 20 words per paragraph you have to

look them up uh especially when you get

into um

the biochemistry

and if you try to study that without

doing that you’re

you’re basically going to be fully

asleep by the time you get through with

it um

because

some of these words are just like so

long and so um

when we get into so what i do is i try

to simplify i try to you know take these

complex try to make it as simple as

possible

and i my favorite dictionary actually is

a chinese dictionary chinese to english

dictionary because

um

the definitions are really simple

um because some of the other definitions

other other dictionaries i have

you know you end up seeing all these

words that i don’t even know what they

mean in the definition so i have to look

those up and it takes me forever so i’m

really um

uh into using dictionaries and

really understanding the full meaning of

what the subject is talking about and

every little part of it so

yeah and i see you have a skeleton right

next to you

uh

this one i i bought when i began to to

study a

personal trainer for for sports so i

began to study the bones and the muscles

in order to understand

great so

great

and so um you have um

i’m gonna put your youtube channel below

the link down below so people can sign

up um but you know what’s fascinating in

the middle east which

uh that’s actually

the majority

it’s even more than my english channel

the um

arabic language the

northern africa the whole middle east

there’s a huge interest in the

quito and i

i’m assuming it’s because they eat more

sugar than any other country in the

world or more and that as far as the

area goes

i think it’s it’s

it’s way more than america and i when i

was when i looked at that i’m like

there’s a lot of sweet things that you

guys eat over there

oh there’s a lot of in something of the

that which is difficult in the middle

east that

the culture and the

the type of

food that we eat it’s so delicious

delicious by design it’s it’s it it

causes you to to eat more even and if

you if you see a tourist who is coming

from united states and he is doing keto

he cannot continue he will cheat in the

middle east

yeah you have all that dessert that is

and

that is becoming after immediately after

lunch or dinner

uh

bombed with sugars

and in the middle east older at least

the main food that we eat is rice

and even sometimes rice with bread

in in in jordan we have

a meal that is mansur

it’s it’s a bread after on it is a lot

of rice with a lot of meat so the

insulin will will dry rise to the

rocket like a rocket i’m sure that uh

you may even need a nap after lunch

if you do that

of course of course

and it’s it’s it’s it’s difficult to

have an app after a big million and uh i

mean a lot of people has a insulin

resistance you can see it everywhere so

uh

and

your your channel is very popular in the

middle east it’s one it’s the bit

the number one uh channel that that is

uh watched in the middle east it’s your

your channel wow wow that’s good because

you know what i think it’s going to help

a lot of people there and there it looks

like they’re interested and they’ll

change their diet and i think um

be healthier for it and we’re getting a

lot of success stories over there as

well so

um

yeah that’s great i’m so glad that

people like you are

taking responsibility for the different

areas because we need a lot more people

to help because

there’s a lot of people out there that

need coaching and need help and more

data

so that’s so great that you’re doing

this

of course

where

there’s some something that uh that is

interesting in your book and your

point of view of losing weight it’s the

it’s not close way to be healthy

it’s be healthy to lose weight

right yeah

right

it’s the best the best concept that can

be that can describe how to lose weight

you know it’s one of those simple things

that’s so powerful when you really get

it

and i stumbled on it

by accident because with the patient

started working with someone and

the first month she didn’t lose any

weight and i was really frustrated i was

ready to quit and she’s like no no i’m

feeling good look at my skin is better

and i have more energy and i say are you

sure

lost zero weight for the first month i

mean she did everything i told her

in the second month she lost more weight

the third month it was the second way

second month i think she lost 21 pounds

the third month was like 63 pounds

so i just had this light bulb go off i

said you know what

you have to get healthy first before you

lose weight

and that has really helped um

with a lot of people because if you

don’t have that viewpoint

and you um

go for the weight loss and it doesn’t

work

you’ll quit

even though it’s working you’re getting

healthy so

it it just resonates with people because

it’s the truth and

especially women

that are have a slow metabolism if

they’re trying to lose weight um

they might not at first but the energy

goes up i think with keto

and with all the things related to

health probably the biggest

indicator to know that it’s working is

the cravings go away the cravings go

away you’re not hungry that is the first

thing to know it’s working

and don’t change anything

and then of course then your stomach

will start shrinking you have more

energy

uh cognitive improvements but it’s uh

i like it because it’s simple and it’s i

found things that are simple are very

powerful um

and so

that’s why i i just want to get as many

people on this as possible because it

handles

not just weight as you know it handles

so many other issues

oh of course any uh

any

in my practice in coaching people

uh

as you you have said in in

new lectures in the the coaching program

it’s so powerful that even some

something some problems in the client’s

situation

is solving without any medical

intervention

while he is

he can comes to you to lose weight

but

his insulin resistance dropped down

diabetes

dropped down

[Music]

hypertension is normalized

skin tags they they also lose their

things uh

skin tags uh

emotional emotions

begin to be clear more more clearly they

get rid of hunger and the cravings

when they they begin with me

and

asked me

for how long does

do i need to go with keto

so i answered them as you tell us

at first let’s reach our target and then

you will you will decide for how long

you have been to keto when i started

keto and myself i i did not begin quito

in order to

to make this diet my life my life style

diet

i begin beginning

to experiment with the diet

i have seen it in youtube

without a recommendation from from

anybody the

opposite of everything i have learned

from media at that point

and i began to to

to to measure my blood pressure because

i had high blood pressure issues at that

time so i i was scared that it might

increase my blood pressure because i

will eat fat

opposite of the recommendation for

hypertension to have low sword low fat

diet

so

my hypertension my blood pressure drops

down

i i began to have to have clarity

my performance in exercising is is

better

it’s i i

i describe the

the the happiness of keto and intimate

fasting

it’s the happiness or or the joinment

of empty stomach

i like that

yes to feel that you have all that

energy

in your body all that focus

at the same time you don’t have any

bloating

to disconnect between

the the

the feel of uh

any

satiety

and a bloating stomach

most of people connect

this the the satiety

with the bloating and uh

and an explosion in his gut and he has

to you know the the

the the food that should be like like

here in order to feel uh so tight any

isn’t that true you have to keep

stuffing yourself to the point where

okay

okay uh now i’m thoughtful so now it’s

it’s it’s weird it’s like we have to um

we have to cram as much food but when

you actually

start doing intermittent fasting and you

start to find out um

how much better you can feel

being

truly um

burning fat and switching over to fat

burning and you’re no longer dependent

on these

blood sugar things boy

it’s kind of like um that’s where i’m

trying to put people i’m trying to get

people in that place so

they from their own accord from their

own self can determine that that’s the

that that’s workable versus

especially when you get into diet you

got to be careful when you evaluate

people and you

they have so many losses they have so

many

bad programs people tell them so i use a

very very light touch when i coach

people

try this out see if this works for you

i want them

to really make up their own mind to do

it rather than me pushing them to do it

all the time

that doesn’t work so once they feel it

and understand it

you don’t have to use

motivational

tricks and tips and

gimmicks they just do it because they

feel better you know it’s like wow this

this makes sense so uh

i just learned that from trial and error

yes of course any a a a human is like no

it’s not like an ant no and an ant can

can can

keep trying to to climb a rock

and keep trying

a human try one

second third time three times and quit

forget the the the

beautiful thing about ketu

it’s like

when you begin with it you each each uh

symptom or or good experience we are

talking about in social media he will

experience it

and

and this experience of changing his life

his diet

uh

make the the person like um

wants to know what’s coming next any

he’s he’s he’s experimenting in his body

uh he he he’s he’s feeling well and so

so so on

the that’s what we mean at the the the

last five years i i have been

experimenting all all of thing in keto

under carbohydrate date i tried to fast

for three days

and experiment experiment for and

measure my ketone bodies and glucose and

glucose each uh every two hours

wow okay

so in order to grow to graph the gki the

glucose ketone index

and after that at the third day i i

tried to

to to make an exercise to our exercise

cycling exercise to to so to see how

much glucose will reduce or

and ketone increase

so at that time i reached 5.6 millimole

for this liter yeah wow

that’s some serious ketones

that’s amazing

there’s some something

in newly i i put it in your group in the

coaching groups

uh i’ve measured my my son’s ketones

uh he’s an infant or not infant he’s six

month years old six months okay so

in in literature when you see in the

when you read about the nutrition form

for babies and you see the breast milk

the breast milk is 55 fat

right

and

six percent protein which is about two

per two grams per kilogram for for the

for the baby

and 40 grams of lactose and like the

lactose is low glycemic it’s not like

fructose or not like glucose

so by by design the baby will be in

ketosis

so when before introducing food solid

food to our baby i told my wife i i want

to measure my baby’s ketones so

do it and and he was 0.6 after uh

after after me after a blessed a will

breastfed

um

that is fantastic yeah i have a

granddaughter she’s uh two years old

right now and so totally on keto uh you

talk about

coordination

about

um advanced intelligence about perfect

bone structure

i mean it’s it’s the right diet for kids

as well and

you shouldn’t you shouldn’t have to load

up kids with all these carbs um you just

end up

unfortunately causing all sorts of

you know atd issues focus issues um lucy

is her name and she’s very calm she’s

focused um in control of her own body

she’ll go up the stairs and if she falls

she catches herself i’m like

keto is the way to go so um and breast

she’s

breastfed for a long time so that was

very very important too you know

breastfeeding is very important and you

can see that that if you rise the baby

in a low carbohydrate diet

uh even even when he sees

scandi’s he will not enjoy candy as

other boys and girls any

he he can he will take it in some point

but

it will not uh

he he will still like

like avogadro’s

broccoli vegetables meat

it will not take the place of this whole

foods

do you have any other kids

i have three three kids i have

[Music]

said shaham

but

the cause of introducing ketogenic diet

for my family

was my smallest my

middle son

which would

he was the the turning point in my key

to journey

because

uh i was keto and i was losing weight

and

my wife continues uh cooking by rice and

bread and like this and i only eat the

the something that that can be eaten

from for a ketogenic day

so

when he was one one and eight

one year and eight months

our physician told told us that he is

not growing any his length height is not

increasing

so

i told her what to do at the aft mini

see she told me after

after he reached two years

she will begin with the with testing the

growth hormone

so

so i asked her what what can i do in

order to increase growth hormone and i

at that point i already

watched all most of your videos for so

fasting and and ketogenic diet will

increase it but i cannot do this

this thing with my

young son

so she told me you can reduce

carbohydrate

but not

eliminated huh so

when i uh

at that point i told her i will put him

in a ketogenic diet so she told me no no

no don’t put him in any questions

at the car when we’re driving so my wife

is crying you want to put him in the

diet that you are you are freaking out

so

uh after her read first you will cook i

will not cook for him so you have to to

to make the decision

read for for one week and after that we

will show

we will take the decision if you want

uh after one week we begin all the

family

me and my family my my

my wife and

both of our sons in the ketogenic state

and at that month he

grows his growth began

and increased two centimeters

wow

wow

i don’t know if

i don’t know for now

does he has some gluten

gluten intolerance

which

may make the growth stop or stole or or

or it’s it’s normal but i i’ve tried to

make this thing and it works

that is fantastic you know um

in my pr when i was in practice 30 years

i was in practice for 30 years

uh and the second i guess the

about 10 years into it i started having

people from

uh the middle east fly to they flew them

to my office because

the medical doctor at the embassy

in um

in

washington d.c

had a great success i don’t even know he

was in the embassy but he started

sending people from the middle east to

my office for fertility

from the middle east it’s apparently an

issue

so i would just

they would fly in and i would have them

there for a month and we’d just put them

on the diet

and all of a sudden they started getting

pregnant and they would send over more

people

and it was like it’s nothing special

other than the diet

so um

that was interesting that um they would

just fly them out and stay at my office

for a month and i would just put them on

keto and they would become fertile both

both the husband and the wife so that’s

another interesting um

experience i had with sorry uh actually

i think this is saudi arabia

and

the the the the great thing about

fertility you’ve discussed it in your

book the the ovarian type

so

any

mini

most of

those women with ovarian type have pcos

and pcos is triggered by insulin

resistance and uh and problems in the

liver as as have you

as you’ve discussed in in a lot of uh

episodes in your youtube channel

the problem that and and and the pcos

and intermittent fasting and keto is

well studied now

and published in literally in in pubmed

and

with the with the great studies

we knew when you read

a dietitian or a nutrition literature

recommendation as the the uk

literature

for the pcos that the nutritional

intervention

there is no nutritional intervention

while the only medicine or only cure for

pcos is a nutritional

cure

yeah

yeah they might put them in metformin

but what does metformin do it actually

helps correct at least temporarily

insulin resistance so

yeah there are so many conditions that

are tied into this insulin resistance it

is like the common thread

but um

this is amazing so what i’m going to do

is i want to um

if you’re watching this video and you

are from the middle east definitely sign

up on his channel how often do you do

videos

uh lately about

every day okay great

and uh shorts and

long videos i have an episode that i

have

summarized your book in my channel wow

that’s great

that’s awesome

well what we’ll do is we’ll uh

definitely try to get people to sign up

on your channel because um there’s a lot

of people

um

in the middle east that uh need this

data and uh i’m i’m assuming that you do

it in your arabic language

yes in arabic i hope at the future i

will

have an a new

channel with english language for about

10 to 12 episodes in order to

when i introduce myself to

to

to you or to any doctor in the field in

the local carp community

it’s it’s been beneficial to have a

english language but my my main language

my channel is in arabic languages

listen there’s a lot of people in the

middle east

to educate and they need help so you’re

you’re doing fine

so we’ll stay in communication and i

really appreciate you spending the time

just to chat and we’ll do some updates

we’ll do more educational things with

our coaches in the near future i just

i’m getting organized i have some new

things i want to share with you and

coaching people so i’ll reach out when

those uh

zoom

calls are ready

but uh okay it’s my pleasure victor

that’s great

very nice meeting you um wish you the

best and i will talk to you real soon
