I guess I wanted to do a little video to

compare myplate.gov which I think the

websites called choose myplate.gov which

is the USDA Dietary Guidelines their

recommended foods versus healthy ketosis

okay just so you can kind of see the

differences so you can see roughly of

the 25% of the food should be fruit 25%

should be vegetable and then you have

the greens which is between 40 and 60

percent of the plate and then the

protein would make up the difference

plus some dairy out here so and then

healthy ketosis you have vegetable fat

protein with the carb outside the plate

okay because we want a very small amount

so with healthy ketosis you’re doing 7

to 10 cups of vegetables now with my

plate you’re doing about two to two and

a half cups of vegetables but you could

do those vegetables in a vegetable juice

like in a v8 you can do canned

vegetables you can do iceberg lettuce or

you can do potato starch okay so that’s

acceptable over here we want you to have

leafy greens and we want you to fill up

the entire half of the plate now what’s

interesting is that if you look at my

pie chart here a vegetables account for

5% of the total calories but if you look

at the volume of vegetables it takes up

50% of your plate so it’s this large

amount of vegetables with very low

amount of calories so when you look at

this chart this is 5 percent this

appears to be not very significant but

when you look at the volume it’s

actually pretty significant because it’s

going to fill up half the plate now when

we get into healthy ketosis with the

fats we want roughly about 70% of your

total calories okay now in this chart

you can see it looks quite large right

it’s like more than 50% but you have to

realize that one gram of fat is more

than double the calories protein in

carbohydrates so the volume of fat is

going to be a lot less because if you

look at it here like 70 percent looks

like a huge amount but an actual volume

it’s going to be a lot less and I think

that’s the confusion people think it’s

this massive the quantity of fat when in

it’s not and of course we keep the carbs

down 5% we want to keep those very small

between 20 and 50 grams per day and our

protein moderate between 3 to 6 ounces

per meal

the myplate.gov they recommend low fat

lean proteins over here we recommend

fattier proteins because we know that

the leaner the protein is the more it

can spike insulin and we’re also not

combining protein and sugar or protein

and fat so over here we’re combining

protein with the grains which if you

combine these you’re going to really

spike insulin because of this fact right

here so what they’re recommending with

the grains at least half of those grains

be whole grains now what that means is

they’re gonna allow the other half to be

refined grains why do they even let that

in there I have no idea

other than the fat and people up because

that’s exactly what’s going to do so

they’re recommending between 6 to 7

ounces of grains as a requirement every

single day it’s just part of that meal

now let’s take a look at this 1 ounce

would equal 1 slice of bread so they’re

gonna allow 7 slices of bread a day ok a

half a cup of cereal is one ounce one

pancake is one ounce so they’re gonna

allow 7 pancakes you can have 7 pancakes

today let’s see we have 3 cups of

popcorn so you’re allowed 21 cups of

popcorn incredible or one small piece of

corn bread so we can do 7 small little

slices of cornbread wow that’s a

incredible diet high in carbohydrates

and of course they’re also allowing the

vegetable oils the GMO soy and corn and

cottonseed oil and canola which are all

GMO unfortunately so I just wanted to

create a quick video to give you a

visual distinction on these two to show

you why this plate is a thousand times

healthier than this one over here thanks
