The Keto Diet is a popular method of eating that is used when people want to burn fat and lose weight. In this video, I’m going to review my thoughts on the sustainability of this eating plan and help you to decide whether it is right for you. You will have to evaluate what your short and long term goals are for getting ripped and I will help you to do that.
First it is important to understand where the ketogenic diet comes from. It is actually an old school diet approach that has been around for a long time. The concept is for you to dramatically switch the proportions of macronutrients that make up your daily caloric intake to shift the body from relying on glucose for its primary fuel source to ketones.
Glucose from carbohydrates is the number one preferred source of fuel for our muscles and brains. In fact, there are certain areas of the brain where glucose is the only source of fuel that can be utilized to provide peak functioning. When you follow a keto diet, you cut your carb intake down to 5% or less of your total daily calories. All of the carbs that you do eat come from green leafy vegetables while great care is taken to avoid starches like rice, potatoes, pasta, oatmeal, beans, etc.
The bulk of your diet comes from fats and proteins. This means that when you are following a ketogenic diet that you are relying on lots of meats, fish, eggs, nuts, seeds, heavy cream, oils, etc. Even healthy foods like fruit are excluded. Foods rich in fiber would also be excluded if they fall in the starchier category named already.
So the idea is to gradually make your body rely on ketones for fuel. While this may be a more efficient energy source it definitely does not come without some repercussions. The biggest of which is the depletion of your body’s stores of glycogen. Glycogen is the stored form of glucose and is kept inside your muscles primarily and broken down for energy when training. If your glycogen levels are depleted it becomes very hard to train intensely.
Even if you do find a way to increase your energy and intensity to train hard, it often results in an increase in cortisol as this presents an increased stress to the body due to the insufficient fuel depots. Both the increase in cortisol and the decreased glycogen can significantly and negatively impact your body’s ability to preserve lean muscle let alone build new muscle tissue.
Many will say that they lose lots of fat when on a ketogenic diet. It is true that you will see rapid weight loss when following a keto diet (making it a perfect option for those that need to fit into a certain outfit and time isn’t on your side). That said, fat loss is a minimal part of the equation. The reason you are losing lots of weight but not necessarily fat is that along with the glycogen depletion comes a lot of lost water.
When carbohydrates are minimized, the hydro portion or water is lost as well. This is why what appears to be many lost pounds on the scale when following a keto diet doesn’t necessarily mean permanent loss. Along those same lines, the very fact that a ketogenic diet is based on deprivation and near exclusion of dietary carbohydrates often leads to this being a solution that is not sustainable.
The real question you have to ask yourself if whether you can maintain whatever diet you follow for life. I believe in long term, permanent weight loss solutions that let you lose body fat while still allowing you to build muscle. If you are looking for a meal plan that allows you to do both and is the same exact one that I use to stay ripped year round, head to http://athleanx.com and get the ATHLEAN-X Training Systems.

it made me sick, body not feel right, esp version with higher fat (ex. cream sauces and cream in drinks). When I tried a version before but less fat I was ok. Maybe as Dr Berg says I need bile salts but honestly, it just doesn't feel right if even in the short-term weight comes off and many medical issues disappear. BUT what about in the future???? I think your kidneys and gall bladder gonna be f#. For example, I lost 60# in one year (I was 200 and 5'3") and I had two soy protein shakes and a meat and three (including some carb) and I did Zumba like everyday and took a small dose of hydroxycut BUT after the weight loss my mense would just pore out of me until I took vitamin K. A few years later, it happened again when I took a different brand of soy protein shake. So just cuz something works and you lose a lot of weight and feel great doesn't mean its good for you long-term. My effects happened fast enough but with keto you might not see it until many years. Of course some pips be ok. But I think a lot may get troubles. Its jsut a guy feeling, quasi-pun intended.

Keto made me feel like total shit and I was on it for a year . It made me insulin resistant and I never had blood sugar issues . I ve always been thin in decent shape and keto made me feel like on another planet off and on . Im still struggling to get my blood sugar stable . Been slowly moving away from it for like 3 months now . I feel like shit everyday with blood sugars fluctuating .

"Keto" diet….Atkins diet rebirthed with a few changes

Good as a temporary diet, until you reach your target weight. After that, move to a HEALTHY, small portion diet. I'm strictly speaking on weight loss. If you're bulking up, obviously small portions aren't an option lol… i know about keto, but not shit about exercise/working out.
Keto will skyrocket your bad cholesterol. Do NOT stay on it permanently. And If your bad cholesterol is already high, keto might not be safe for you. The bad cholesterol from keto will go back down, but it will go up quite a bit while ON Keto.
I've seen keto work with my own eyes, 4 times….
Watched our secretary go from sum 350lbs, down to what… 150lbs? In just a few months… I'm bad at gaging womens' weights.
She went from huge, to SLIM.
It's ridiculous how good it works…
You may get keto sickness as your body goes into ketosis, but this is normal. Doesn't last long.
ASK YOUR DOCTOR if you have high cholesterol, if keto is safe for you.
It is not a healthy diet "long term".

What im not understanding about a Keto diet is. If you’re trying to build muscle and get lean. You need high protein to gain that muscle. So if you now have low protein, you wont gain muscle

Hey you guys !! Idk if this happened to you guys but I always want desserts. After I switched to Keto it was hard finding good and healthy snacks butt I did come across this recipe book which set me up for success:) hopefully it will do the same for you

I am proof that you can compete and bulk very well on keto or carnivore. Vince Gironda had it before he fell off the bandwagon to drinking. You can also do high protein keto.

as a diabetic, I dont have many options, and keto makes sense to me.

Imported expensive exotic carbs
Good. Poor people just eat potato chips…
September 1st, 2022 at 17:40
This is good advice.
September 1st, 2022 at 18:24
How are carbs the MOST important thing to eat? You have essential fatty acids and essential amino acids, but no essential sugars… hmm
September 1st, 2022 at 18:48
What is the truth? We live very confusing times!

I believe it! I tried keto and all that fat didn't sit well and I ate clean. When I was a kid in the 70s there weren't many fat people and diabetes wasn't a household name. What happened? Corporations turned food into business and it made food addictive and media pushed fat acceptance and the combo equals a fat population. In Japan, almost everyone around me is thin and they eat a s# load of carbs but not all day and this culture has more pressure to stay thin, except they starting push Western stuff here and promoting some fat comediennes and posting plus size model ads in a few stores. And mind you, I live in countryside where many drive, there are a small amount of overweight and a rare fat person. People do tend to be more active in Japan walking or biking or going to the gym. My Japanese hubby said he feels the difference is when he was in NYC, people seem to be eating all the time, meals and snacking a lot. Plus we eat a lot more sugar and sodas. Many Japanese didn't grow up being fed sweets much so they don't have the same cravings. My hubby has a sweet tooth but he has self-control. I feel Japanese are brought up to hav more pressure and gaman (endure) and can still say no. If we make their processed foods more addictive and keep pushing media that fat is ok will they become more like the West in the next few decades?

Well. You say you get most of your calories from fat and protein but you eat most carbs which wouldn't have sense. In 1 gram of pure protein there is 4 calories as is there in carbs, so if you eat 100 grams of pure carbs you have eaten 400 calories. So you actually cant eat more carbs then protein and gst more calories from protein. The gate one might be true, there is 7 calories pr. Gram of fat, that's almost twice to amount if carbs and protein

What About oatmeal?
September 1st, 2022 at 22:27
Fibre is!

Carbs make you fat and make you feel sluggish.

Hi will I gain weight if I eat crispy cream donuts before a workout?

Why doesn't he go straight out and say he's talking about keto?
September 2nd, 2022 at 00:06
I feel best while carnivore. I had so many problems and nothing else helped. Not paleo, not vegetarian, not vegan, not whole 30. Keto did a bit, but nothing like carnivore. Hopefully everyone finds what's best for them.

Fruits and veges….amazing molecules…no way! They contain anti nutrients! They contain phytotoxins! Lectins…oxalates. fruits contain fructose….sugar is sugar…no carb is good..in fact…the human being requires no carbohydrates at all…not a single gram. Fibre is non essential and not necessary. This video is nonsense
September 2nd, 2022 at 00:56
Thanks
September 2nd, 2022 at 01:46
Fruits? Are you nuts? Fruits are full of sugars
September 2nd, 2022 at 01:54
I think a balanced diet is the way to go. Small portion of brown rice with boiled broccoli, carrots, potatoes and then a pan fried steak to accompany it. So much nutrition in one meal. Exercise is the key to staying slim; weight training is superior.

This guys face looks like a carbohydrate
