I had another question relating to does

keto cause kidney disease okay I just

want to do a video just on this one

topic because his absolutely ridiculous

number one ketogenic diet is a very

natural thing for the body to do in fact

I believe it was the first diet that we

all were on and our bodies are very very

used to it it’s a much better fuel

running your body on ketones and the

confusion is that a ketogenic diet is a

high-protein diet and of course high

proteins can damage the kidney and the

liver as well but it’s not a high

protein diet you’re only doing three to

six ounces of protein with each meal

that is not very high the ketogenic diet

is a low carb diet and low carbs are

beneficial to the kidney high

carbohydrates are very damaging to the

kidney high sugars are very damaging to

the kidney let’s take a look at a

diabetic

they usually have vision problems nerve

problems and eventually kidney problems

they usually end up on kidney dialysis

because that - sugar it’s very damaging

to the kidneys so high carbohydrates

destroy the kidney low carbohydrates are

very safe on the kidney now there is a

condition when you have diabetes called

ketoacidosis okay and that means that

the pH coming from those ketones and

this is very unhealthy ketosis by the

way it’s completely different than the

type of ketosis that I’m talking about

it’s more of a side effect because the

body is burning up protein and it’s

turning into ketones and the pH is

becoming very very very acid but you

don’t don’t worry about that because

when you’re actively doing ketosis just

by cutting out the carbs and you’re not

a diabetic type 1 we’re gonna recommend

and I’ve been recommending a lot of

vegetables to get your potassium and

potassium is very protective on the

kidneys until you have complete kidney

failure and you’re on kidney dialysis

and in that situation you don’t want to

consume a lot of protein because you

can’t really utilize that protein that’s

completely different situation but in

general potassium is very protective on

the kidney and that is why we recommend

7 to 10 cups of vegetables with the keto

plan to protect the kidney and give it

the nutrients that it needs

and another problem with Kido is that it

can increase the uric acid well it’s not

going to do that if you keep your

vegetables high but some people can get

uric acid stones or gout simply because

they’re not consuming enough vegetables

okay so we’re not gonna have to worry

about that but recently there’s been

higher incidence of kidney disease

actually around the world and of an

unknown origin and really I believe and

it’s my opinion that it’s the GM o foods

I put a link down below just to show you

the relationship between glyphosate and

what it’s doing to our kidneys because

your body has to get rid of this stuff

not to mention the liver so if you want

to protect a kidney you know keto is

going to be totally a good thing to do

number two you want to do intermittent

fasting in me3 you want to keep the

vegetables high and lastly you want to

avoid GMO foods with that glyphosate

because it’s a big unknown now and you

just don’t want to be the guinea pig in

this huge GMO experiment they’re doing

on us right now
