so recently I had a comment Quito is too

extreme okay I can’t do it because it’s

too extreme let’s talk about that that

really comes from two different concepts

one is you know everything in moderation

you know keep everything moderate not

too much this way not too much the other

way or how about this one there’s no

such thing as the bad or good food

they’re just molecules just keep your

calories balanced right it’s all a

matter about balance your calories blah

blah blah well if we take a look at keto

we have moderate protein we have higher

fats which people are not gonna have a

problem with consuming more fats they

have a problem with lowering their carbs

to 20 to 50 grams per day so that’s what

certain people consider extreme one it’s

really only extreme if you’re comparing

it to the standard American diet which

has about 350 grams of carbohydrates per

day okay this is our new normal but this

is extreme take a look at just the

amount of sugar that our society

consumes this is like a hundred and

twenty pounds 100 pounds roughly in the

80s the 90s and and really recently this

spike of sugar content is just gone way

up

so keno only sounds extreme if you don’t

understand

dietary sugar and blood sugars so when

you get your blood glucose tested you

want it to be right around 80 milligrams

per deciliter that’s really only one

teaspoon of sugar and your entire blood

the average person consumes a lot more

than that like 28 to 31 teaspoons that’s

extreme okay so you really have to

understand what what normal is to see

what extreme is what I think is extreme

is the four billion prescriptions that

are given out on a yearly basis in the

US healthcare being three point four

trillion dollars per year okay one

trillion is a thousand billion it’s a

lot of money I think that’s extreme or

population is either pre-diabetic or
