In the video you'll discover the 7 ketogenic vegetables you can eat as much of as you want (and one bonus!).

All veggies have some carbs, but in certain veggies the carbs are so locked up in the fiber and surrounded by vitamins, minerals, and phyto-nutrients that they are effectively ketogenic.

If you don't like one or more of the veggies on this list then you will be happy to know that new research is showing that you can Retrain Your Palate!

It's not too late to learn to enjoy these veggies.

Another good way to eat these veggies, even when you don't love them, is to saute them in butter or lard, salt and pepper and spice them up to taste, that will make them easier to eat.

Keto Beginner Mistakes

There is a learning curve whenever we start something new. The keto diet is no exception, so in this video you will discover some beginner keto mistakes that Christina made.

.

The 8 Mistakes That Christina Made

  1. Trying to get up to 20 g of carbs per day. As she said after a year her carb intake was 7 – 12 g per day. You don't really need 20 g so don't eat a bunch of snacks to get your intake up to 20 g. Ketogenesis works better at the lower level for most people.
  2. Not eating enough vegetables. Some people make the mistake of filling up on nuts and dark chocolate. Not a good idea. There are a lot more other minerals and such in vegetables. That's not to say you can't have a few roasted buttered pecans with a sprinkle of paprika now and then.
  3. Trying to replace all the products you love with their keto versions. You can do it with time and effort, but there are a lot of real simple meals your'll discover that are just as good.
  4. Eating when you are not hungry. Eat when the body tells you to eat not by the clock. Learn to listen to your body and learn what it is telling you.
  5. Not getting enough electrolytes. You need to drink more water each day on this diet. Actual electrolyte drinks may work for you better.
  6. Eating too much protein.
  7. Eating too much fat. The body burns the fat you eat or body fat. For the first few weeks you may need lo let your body adapt to burning body fat after that you could increase your fat intake with no weight loss effect.
  8. Having cheap convenient meals ( the odd french fries, potatoes or popcorn). There is a big difference to being 100% committed to this diet and only 99% committed.

The experts are always right. Aren't they?

Doctors do a lot of research into alternative therapies. Don't they?

This blog is about all the wonderful ways we can feel well, and stay well into the later years of our lives.

It really is a wellness jubilation, if you go outside of the conventional wisdom.

Watch this video as a doctor admits he was wrong about the Keto diet – rated as the worst diet, regardless of what the research, clinical results and common sense may say. We should all listen to the expert panel convened recently by U.S. News & World Report.

This panel of experts ranked today's diets from the best to the worst, and guess which diet came in dead last? Yep, the stupid ketogenic diet. Just because people have amazing Permanent results with it, and feel amazing with this lifestyle, that is no reason for silly doctors to recommend it.

Watch this video to learn exactly why the Weight Watchers diet is the best diet in the world, and why you should follow it. Don't listen to doctors like Noakes, Baker, Fettke, Davis, Fung, and Berry. They have the silly notion that human nutrition should make sense, and that if done properly, human nutrition can prevent and improve chronic disease. How foolish, right?

Do you believe what all the big main media outlets tell you? Many of us are finally waking up to the truth.

Watch the video and discover what some experts are telling us about diets.

The Best Diet

Benefits Of Grass Fed Butter

Grass Fed Butter Offers More Nutritional Value

Grass Fed Butter

The dietary input of the animals that we make butter from is just as important as our nutritional input.

In days gone by all of our farm animals were grass fed and there are still many countries today that grass feed their animals. Unfortunately in North America dairy cows are kept in barns. in a production line type of environment.

In these Concentrated Animal Feeding Operations (CAFOs) conditions are often crowded and unsanitary. The animals are given antibiotics to keep them healthy and hormones for growth.

Cows are usually fed corn silage and soybeans instead of grass. The nutritional value of grass fed butter is far superior to the common commercial butter. The myth about saturated fats causing heart disease and other health disorders dissipates as current research data accumulates. (2, 3). Turns out the real “fat” villains are trans fats, rather than saturated fats like those found in butter. (4) That is  also why margarine is so bad for you.

Benefits Of Grass Fed Butter

Grass-fed butter is a rich source of conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) (6), a fatty acid useful in accelerating fat loss. CLA has also been shown to have positive effects on patients suffering from cardiovascular disease, cancer, chronic inflammation, and diminished immune response. (7)

If you’re looking to trim down and add muscle, CLA matters; higher levels of the fatty acid work to decrease body fat while increasing lean body mass. (8)

The amount and quality of the vitamin K2 found in butter matters, too. Vitamin K2 is crucial because it de-calcifies the arteries and keeps them clear. (9, 10) Adequate intake of vitamin K2 helps prevent calcium from leaching out of the bones and depositing in the arteries, decreasing the risk of developing osteoporosis. (11, 12)

One study found that for every 10 micrograms of vitamin k2 they consumed, participants’ risk of developing heart disease dropped by 9%. (13)

Another European trial determined subjects with the highest vitamin K2 intake decreased their risk of heart disease by 57%. (14)

Butter from grass-fed cows is among the richest sources of vitamin K2, along with natto (a fermented soy product), goose liver and egg yolks. (15)

For many years medical professionals have marked high cholesterol as the most reliable predictor for developing heart disease, but now chronic inflammation looks like the forerunner. (16, 17)  There can be many causes of chronic inflammation (18), some of which can be moderated by nutritional strategies like following an anti-inflammatory diet.

Low Carb Dieting Myths

Some Low Carb Pervasive Myths Explained

Low Carb Diet Myths

image source

There are many myths about low carb diets and ketogenic diets in the minds of people around the world.

Some of these myths are simply not true and don't make any sense scientifically.

So lets take a look at some of these myths.

Myth 1: Carbs are an essential nutrient for good health.

Some nutrition professionals still believe that carbohydrates are necessary to provide glucose to fuel the brain and avoid hypoglycemia. It's an old way of thinking, and it's just not true scientifically. Essential nutrients are nutrients which your body cannot make, so they have to be obtained on a daily basis from your food sources. There are essential proteins, and essential fatty acids, but there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.

When the body is in ketosis, it has a “glucose sparing” effect. First, the skeletal muscles burn fatty acids preferentially which spares glucose for the brain to use. Second, once a person is keto-adapted, the brain switches to using ketone bodies for over half of the fuel it needs, and less glucose is needed since ketone bodies are being used as an alternative fuel.

This small amount of carbohydrate (glucose or blood sugar) needed to fuel the brain during keto adaptation can be generated internally. Your liver can make all the glucose needed for brain function from glycogen stored in the liver. And if need be, the body can also make glucose from the protein in your food.

Hence, carbohydrates are NOT essential nutrients, and many people, such as the Inuit of Alaska and the Masai of Africa live without them for long periods of time without any effect on health and well-being. The “brain needs carbs” idea is only true if you consistently eat a high carb diet (as most registered dietitians will tell you to do). You will be “carb-adapted”, and there will be little or no ketones for your brain to use as an alternative fuel, since a high carb diet interferes with ketosis.

However, the fact that carbs aren't essential doesn't mean that everyone should eat a low carb diet. There are people who can tolerate eating large amounts of carbohydrates on a daily basis. However, there are also people who can't. These people have a low tolerance for carbohydrates, and if they eat large quantities of them, they develop metabolic disorders like insulin resistance and diabetes.

If you can eat large amounts of carbohydrates without developing any metabolic issues, go for it. But it is a fact that humans can avoid the consumption of dietary carbohydrate and continue to maintain perfect health. We have evolved with a dual energy system in which the brain and other body systems can use ketone bodies from fatty acids for fuel when carbohydrate intake is low.

And here's an interesting fact: The Dietary Reference Intakes for Energy, Carbohydrate, Fiber, Fat, Fatty Acids, Cholesterol, Protein, and Amino Acids (Macronutrients)(2005) is a standard written resource for the dietetic profession. Even this publication says on page 275:

“The lower limit of dietary carbohydrate compatible with life apparently is zero, provided that adequate amounts of protein and fat are consumed.”
