all right this is an interesting topic  how important is organic when you’re doing  

keto so first of all what is organic well it  means that you’re not using synthetic fertilizers  

pesticides antibiotics certain food additives  you’re not irradiating your food you’re not using  

sewage sludge and i’m not kidding they use sewage  sludge in certain animal feeds and if you’re doing  

organic you’re not using genetically modified  seeds now you also have livestock that’s organic  

that means you’re using feeds that are not using  pesticides certain fertilizers certain antibiotics  

etc etc and there’s different levels of organic  you have 100% certified organic you have just  

organic so these foods might be like 80 percent  organic or 50% organic or 98% organic there are  

different levels of organic now if something’s  organic doesn’t mean they’re not using some type  

of pesticide but that pesticide typically is  less toxic so maybe they’re using a detergent  

instead of a pesticide maybe they’re using lime  sulfur or hydrogen peroxide all right so now let’s  

just take a look at several things number one the  benefits of keto just because something is organic  

doesn’t make it keto just because something’s keto  doesn’t make it organic it’s apples and oranges  

two completely different things keto is all  about low carb it’s about lowering your insulin  

it’s about getting your body to run on ketones  there are huge benefits of doing just keto  

regardless of whether you’re doing organic or  not of course there’s always an ideal situation  

right you have all organic food you grow your  food in your garden or you get your food from  

a farmer’s market that way you have the healthy  version of keto which is high quality ingredients  

which means nutrient dense and none of the bad  stuff then we come down the scale all the way  

down to fast food right but it can also be  dirty keto okay so you’re still maintaining  

that low carb but the ingredients are pretty  crappy well that’s better than not doing keto  

okay and i even think it’s it’s better than doing  organic ingredients but high carb i really do  

so if you have a choice between fast food keto  and organic food but high carb i would actually  

do the fast food keto because the benefits of low  carb are so huge and then we have a few things in  

between we have conventional factory farming foods  uh farm-raised fish then we have grain-fed animal  

products and that’s probably a step up a little  bit above fast food if you’re going to do keto  

but that also depends on your ingredients a lot  of the fast foods out there are very high in  

soy oil corn oil canola and so that adds a layer  of highly inflammatory food and then we step it up  

to organic keto foods right from the grocery store  and that’s becoming more popular but there’s also  

the factor of where are they growing these  ingredients let’s say they’re growing this food  

this organic food on empty soils and so there’s  very low nutrients in the plant there’s a huge  

difference between buying organic food at the  grocery store versus growing it yourself and  

that’s why i put this scale here we have different  levels of health i just wanted to kind of  

graph this so you can see the different levels  because we also have the wild caught fish  

the grass-fed beef which is different than organic  and realize there’s huge benefits in just doing  

keto but there’s additional benefits if you can  take it up a notch and add the organic in there  

the wild caught foods the grass fed and even going  to the farmers market or growing food in your own  

garden thanks for watching hey before you go  if you’re benefiting from any of my content
