hey guys I recently had a question and

can I consume watermelon on a ketogenic

plant okay so let’s just talk about that

there’s two things that you need to know

one is the glycemic index okay that is

the speed at which sugars are elevated

in the bloodstream okay

that would be considered like if I had a

gun right now and I shot a bullet it’s

the speed of the bullet then you have

also something called the glycemic load

and this is the quantity of carbohydrate

so that would be how many bullets coming

out so the glycemic load is the glycemic

index times the digestible carbohydrates

divided by a hundred okay

so it’s just a value less than ten is on

the low side so watermelon has a low

glycemic load but a pretty high glycemic

index now here’s the thing if you

consume larger and larger amounts of

watermelon or or any food this gets

multiplied so with the glycemic index

this pretty much stays the same same

effect but adding more quantity will

increase this so if you keep a small

amount you’re going to be okay as long

as you stay within your net carbs and

one last point I’m gonna bring up if

your metabolism is really slow you want

to avoid watermelon and even avoid the

berries and not even give in to that but

for most people that have a relatively

good metabolism they can get away with a

little bit of watermelon and some

berries alright thanks for watching

hey guys a quick survey question I want

to know what topic you would like me to

do a video on so each week I’m coming up

with different types of videos but I

would rather have you tell me what

you’re interested in so I put a link

down below please fill it out
