hi guys let’s answer the question is gluten-free  healthy on a ketogenic diet what do you think well  

actually you see it marketed is gluten-free  is it’s something really really special and  

it’s true gluten is very very harmful for your  intestines and you want to avoid it like the  

plague but just because it doesn’t have gluten and  it’s grain doesn’t mean it’s going to not affect  

your blood sugars okay you can have wheat that is  gluten free and it’s going to spike your insulin  

and quinoa rice sorghum millet oat buckwheat  most of these grains have a glycemic index  

of right around 50 well guess what sugar has a  glycemic index about 59 so it’s not that much  

off so these will turn in the sugar fairly quickly  so we have quinoa some people will say well this  

is a protein right it’s not a carbohydrate well  has one cup is like 24 grams of protein but it  

has a hundred and nine grams of carbohydrate  four times as much protein okay so it’s mostly  

carbohydrate so these will turn the sugar now  are they better than gluten grains like wheat  

absolutely absolutely but you have to factor in  of how much you’re consuming in your allowable  

carbohydrate amount so we want to keep your carbs  between 20 and 50 grams per day now per meal per  

day so if you wanted to consume some of these  in small amounts go for it but just make sure  

at the end of the day kind of your carbs and  it doesn’t exceed 20 to 50 but just because  

something’s gluten-free doesn’t mean anything  okay thanks for watching hey you probably already
