so today we’re going to talk about how

to respond to a naysayer or a critic of

Quito whether it’s your friend or a

family member or your doctor that says

Oh Quito is dangerous you don’t want to

do that how do you respond to that

well the first thing you do you don’t

want to defend yourself you want to ask

this one question what is your solution

to the problem of diabetes pre-diabetes

if you combine both of those that equals

over 50% of the population right there

it’s the number one problem in Mexico

Saudi Arabia China I mean the amount of

people that are becoming pre-diabetic

diabetic they’re getting fatter and

fatter is just off the chart so you want

to know what is their recommendation for

a healthy diet now the conversation is

probably going to stop right there but

they may say well you know the best diet

is going to be something that’s

evidence-based something by the USDA

like the Dietary Guidelines something

that’s approved by the American Heart

Association or the American Diabetes

Association or the American Medical

Association or the American Motorcycle

Association that was my sarcasm the

Dietary Guidelines for the USDA are 65%

carbohydrates okay so then you asked in

this next question tell me why consuming

two to three hundred grams of

carbohydrates every day is a healthy

thing go ahead I’m listening let’s see

what they say to that and this is based

on a 2,000 calorie diet because 65% of

the carbs on this diet right here equals

this many grams of carbohydrates that’s

crazy amounts

Kito we’re recommending 5% carbohydrates

which only come out to 20 to 50 grams of

carbs per day not 200 or 300 grams per

day but I would continue to ask this

question until you get an answer but the

truth is it is the absolutely

unhealthiest thing you can do and this

is the healthiest thing you can do and

they’re not going to really have an

answer for it but you at least want them

to start looking at this really key

point which is this huge carbohydrate

problem in relationship to

the problems that we have pre-diabetes

or diabetes but I will guarantee a

hundred percent of the time they will

not know what a ketone is or what

ketosis is they will not understand what

that is so if you ask them this so out

of curiosity what is a ketone they may

know it’s something related to

ketoacidosis something like that but Q

acidosis will only occur if your blood

sugars are over 300 okay so that means

you have no insulin you’re diabetic type

1 you’re not you forgot to take it your

blood sugars are out of control your pH

becomes very acidic and you’re

generating a lot of ketones because your

body is eating up your muscle protein

it’s just it’s making too many ketones

but that is not the same as taking a

healthy person dropping your carbs and

getting the body to make more ketones

ketones are simply the byproduct of fat

burning and you’re using them as

alternative fuel it’s a more efficient

fuel it’s it produces more energy less

co2 more oxygen you get more energy out

of the ketones less inflammation so it’s

a very healthy thing to do but you have

to understand what it is before you can

you’d say that and people tend to attack

what they just don’t understand and

that’s really what you’re up against so
