let’s talk about the nine most common

low carb myths okay

you hear this all the time and i just

want to cover each one of them the first

one is that low carb diets

are a fad

okay now a fad is some intense and

widely shared enthusiasm for something

that is short-lived so the question is

why would it be short-lived if you’re

benefiting on a low-carb diet

you’re going to stick with it why would

you stop it

and

why is it so bad to be enthusiastic

about something that works

yes there are a lot of people that are

intensely enthusiastic about

keto and low carb diets and imminent

fasting because they feel so much better

so the low carb diets are absolutely

positively not a fad

some people would want you to believe

that but it’s absolutely growing and

growing growing it’s not going to be

short-lived simply because it works

next one it’s okay for weight loss but

not for long-term health

now this is completely

ridiculous why would something work

short term and not work in the long run

now the argument that certain people

will use

is that they’ll take the evidence of or

the studies of traditional or classical

keto

for epilepsy where they have low quality

ingredients you have all these different

side effects like kidney stones and gout

and high cholesterol and bad breath

well we’re not recommending

that version we are recommending the

healthy low carb or keto version of the

ketogenic diet all right next one number

three all that fat is going to make you

get a heart attack

absolutely positively not true first of

all

um i never met anyone that is consuming

all the bacon grease from the bacon they

fry up the bacon and they toss out the

grease and they leave the crispy bacon

okay

most people don’t eat a lot of butter

okay on one sitting now what’s

interesting about butter is i used to

crave butter as a child

i didn’t know that i needed a lot of

butter for the vitamin k2

and i was very very deficient in fact i

remember wanting to consume a whole

pound of butter so my parents wouldn’t

do that because they at the time had

this idea that fat was bad

but if you crave butter you probably

need something in the butter but the

point is that we’re recommending healthy

fats fats that normally come with

protein and no fat is not unhealthy

especially if you’re not adding

the carbohydrates

to the fat

so when you add the carbohydrates to the

fat that becomes a problem but we’re

doing low carbohydrates okay

all right number four it’s not

sustainable

this is hilarious

low carb diets get rid of your cravings

low carb diets

make you so you’re not hungry anymore

guess what that’s very sustainable when

you start adding in the carbs and the

frequent eating

and even a low calorie diet

that’s not sustainable but keto and low

carb is very sustainable number five

it’s not healthy to omit a food group

well first of all that is completely

made up by the food manufacturing

companies that sell certain foods that

really shouldn’t be in our diet in the

first place there’s no such thing as

essential

sugar okay or essential refined

carbohydrates

so it’s extremely healthy to omit

certain food groups all right number six

you don’t want to cut your carbs because

you’re going to be cutting down your

vegetables well whoever said that

doesn’t understand that we don’t

count

vegetables in our equation we want you

to consume lots of vegetables as in

seven to ten cups

per day so that’s what we want and we’re

not cutting down on vegetables and you

can also have some berries

number seven your brain needs carbs if

you don’t have carbs you’re going to be

tired now whoever’s telling you that is

a compl

you know what

i’m not going to go there

your brain can very easily run on

ketones it loves ketones

the carbohydrates

are the things that destroy the brain

and cause alzheimer’s okay when you

reduce carbs your bo your body

automatically starts making ketones and

your brain thrives on ketones you’ll

have better mental endurance

it helps your cognitive function if

there’s damage in the brain

ketones will bypass that mechanism and

feed the brain cells directly i’m really

talking about those people who are

telling you that your brain needs carbs

they have usually have brain damage

because they’ve been consuming too many

carbohydrates a low carb diet is not

good for a diabetic because the

rationale is you’re going to end up with

low blood sugar hypoglycemia

that is

complete and utter

insanity think about what diabetes is

it’s a condition

of high sugar right

so

we’re trying to lower it guess what’s

going to happen when you go into low

carb your blood sugar is going to come

down

it’s going to decrease the need for

medication okay you work with your

doctor you take less medication guess

what

now

less medication your blood sugar

goes normal

okay it’s not going to go hypo it’s

gonna go normal and you’re gonna feel

much better

and number nine a low carb diet is

really a high protein diet and that’s

damaging for the kidneys again

absolutely not true

a low carb diet as in healthy keto is

moderate amount of protein

three to six ounces maybe a little bit

more but it’s not unlimited protein all

right there you have it the nine

low-carb myths and now i want you to

check out the myths of intermittent

fasting it’s right on this page right
