For me to lose weight I have had to control both. I have a lot of weight to lose. Lowering carbs & sugar is first on the list but I still need to watch calories.

Indeed!!

This was the tough love I needed to hear. Thank you, Dr. Gillaspy. I appreciate your calm, thoughtful, and educated information.

My experience of eating whole foods over a few months and strictly cutting out the processed junk has been that those processed items now no longer taste so great. I don’t even miss these items; in fact, many chips or snacks taste “fake” compared to an omelette or salad with avocado and organic vegetables. All that is to say that those go-to snacks with few actual nutrients do begin to lose their appeal when replaced with whole, nutrient dense foods.

Thanks so much Dr. Becky for sharing your knowledge, enthusiasm and encouragement! I started the LCHF way of eating February 1, 2023 and as of today (May 2, 2023) I have lost 21 lbs. Down from 210 to 189. I am a tall (6' 3") older man (58 yo) and have always been somewhat skinny and a hard gainer. However, over the past few years I've seen weight gain mostly on my gut so I was "Skinny Fat". I started back to the gym, and then discovered LCHF and Intermittent Fasting which has been a wonderful blessing. As with many of other KZread comments I have seen, I have experienced the gain in mental clarity and energy by implementing proper training, LCHF and IF. I am also a cancer survivor (10 years in remission) and have been concerned for a long time about eating healthy, but really did not know how to start. Now, I have the best tools to help keep a recurrence at bay. Thanks for all you do! God Bless you!

Not always true

From my experiences I did keto and didn’t lose weight. I was doing keto plus intermittent fasting or one meal a day and didn’t see fat loss. But When I slashed my meal in half or even 1/3 I began to see results. Calorie counting was the primary thing. So if you can do calorie counting, keto, and try intermittent fasting you should see results. Of course, eating whole foods are best with proper sleep and high intensity exercise are a plus!

Welcome to my channel, Tweed Johnny!

Outstanding video, I’ve had a lot of success on keto over the last 2 1/2 years but have recently started buying “keto friendly” foods purely for convenience. Your video was a great reminder that whole food is the only way to go. I am also guilty of counting net carbs and wii re-think now.

The best comparison video ever on weight control and why it's challenging to control weight loss and maintain the loss. As soon as you start adding carbs back while consuming fat, you gain the weight back quickly. And again the yoyo dieting process starts all over again and again and again year after year after year. 💡Ketogenesis is a lifestyle change for me. Over the last 6 months of weight loss, 35 pounds and10 more to go, I would stay with FAT. Sugar controlled my life. Thank you Dr. Gillaspy, as always, your clear explanations in your videos explains the "why" of why metabolism is so challenging. At the six month mark of NO sugar and NO processed, the results = NO CRAVINGS! This is KEY for me staying in a ketogenic state.

This was a great video. Dr Gillaspy is so calm and reasonable and clear. She is very inspiring.

Dr Becky, you are a blessing, Thanks

So informative, thank you!!

I love your videos Dr. Becky. After watching them for a few years I've gotten out of the habit of having low carb processed "snacks" made by the diet industry to having fruit with sugar free whipping cream or homemade almond flour crackers when I need something to munch on. It wasn't perfect at first. In fact, I gained about 7 pounds in the last year because I was getting used to eating whole foods again. Now that I have and am doing it naturally instead of reaching for the latest low carb creation, I've lost 2 of those 7 pounds and haven't even weighed or measured my food, or written down my food intake. Reaching for whole foods comes naturally now. I still watch your videos regularly because they are always so inspiring and I need that continued inspiration. But, I feel so much better sticking to those whole foods and avoiding the processed stuff. Thank you!

Dr. Becky, I have been watching your channel for years. I find the information and your presentation skills very beneficial for my own weightless journey. I lost about 70 lbs on strict Keto, but after maintaining my weightless for 5 years, I'm ready to tackle the remaining 50 lbs. I'm looking to use a reduced carb (135 grams) as a new lifestyle. Thanks again for your work! BTW the chicken came first, the egg is a form of reproduction, so the chicken had to come first

Great information thank you! We need a Kieth visit ❤

That is a fantastic vid. Basic advice for newcomers

Thanks for a very great video, This one really explains Our Nation's dilemma well.

Thank You very interesting information

That's great info. It's easy (and I've done it) to think that net carbs is key to losing weight, but it's only another tactic by food manufacturers to keep us eating their junk food.

Good information.

Amazing. I had noticed the CREME in Oreos, but never the FROOT loops!!🙄

Thank for for pointing out the absurd Tufts rating system. It’s obvious that there was a lot of big AG influence involved with the recommendations. You’re not alone with your views. Thanks!

Awesome video! I'm puttin it in your top 3. Really good stuff. I have learned so much from you! Your common sense and to the point approach is very helpful! Thank you very much Doc!

I love all your videos. You’re the Marty’s Stuart of low carb videos lol

Great video as usual - with a touch of humour: “nothing to see here” 😂

Doc, that title question is like asking which is better, eggs or crack? I (barely) exaggerate. Good info as always. Thanks again.

Froot Loops = sugar + dyes + chemicals in a cup. Nasty.

IMO, we have been duped and setup for a life of obesity and metabolic syndrome, starting with the breakfast cereal in the morning, thinking that is a viable, proper breakfast food. If I had had the knowledge, I wouldn't have eaten a primarily carbohydrate diet. The main foods in my diet were pasta, breads, and vegetables. If I was a parent, I would not be feeding what I see in families' shopping carts. 😢

A Walmart frozen food section has the placard "Healthy meals" over the door. I have to laugh and wonder, "What the heck is all the rest of the stuff in this store?" Just walk in the door of the store and you are faced with pallets of softdrinks, literally walls of chips brands and stacks and stacks of cookies and candy. And then to see all the people with carts full of chips and boxes of processed foods and numerous sixpacks of full-on softdrinks slung over the side ... well, is there any wonder there's a obesity problem? Keep up the wonderful work you're doing.

Good information, and....eggs came before chickens, of course, since there were other egg layers around long before chickens arrived on the scene.

Dr. Becky is great. I've been following her almost as long as she's been here. This one has a different tone because, despite her usual soft-toned gentle approach, in this one we can hear her disgust with current trends and thinking...and that's OK. The fact is that our food supply has worsened as our ability to cook has disappeared....which, socially, even correlates to the death of family dinners. So there are both food supply and social issues in the way we "grab a bite" these days. I used to think Mom's black cast iron frying pan was the great enemy of my metabolic life. In the low-carb low processed foods world Mom's cooking was about as good as it gets...that would have been during the '50's & '60's. Dr. Becky is right on the mark in her discussions and in her disgust over the quality of our current food supply.

The map was interesting.I’ve lived in a few states including Kentucky, and it’s true, Kentucky has many people who are overweight and obese.I never seen so much obesity in one area in my life.

What are your thoughts and concerns on Insulin Resistance and it's being a prediabetes marker? And how accurate is HOMA-IR in asserting a person's IR?

I am on keto to control my blood sugar. I don’t care about Ketosis. I didn’t get on keto to chase that. Three years into keto I have lowered my A1C from 6.3 to 5.1 and incidentally lost 65lbs. I do Net carbs as counting full carbs would have me eating more meager portions than I do know. I do eat keto candy, cereal, and ice cream. I can’t eat grass as a snack. You gotta draw the line somewhere.

There's another reason why carbs are bad which links back to insulin: insulin inhibits fat burning and carbs raises insulin the most, so not only does carbs make you eat more, it also locks you out of burning fat which is why people have so much trouble losing it to get healthy. It's also the reason why low carb diets are effective because it allows fat-burning to be possible. In other words, nothing has really changed from our grandparent's generation: sweets and junk food will make you fat. If you try to tell them that you can still eat them by "counting calories" they will call you an idiot who's trying to come up with an excuse to eat sweets and junk food over veggies and healthy foods.

I eat to a protein goal every day and try to keep the fat equal or lower in grams. Works well. I personally skipped Keto because it was easy to see the garbage being created. Is fiber a nutrient if it is not required in the body? Same question for carbs, actually. Either way, agree 100% stay away from 'fake' foods.

@judithowens8212

Regarding fibre as a nutrient, we can distinguish between whether a nutrient provides 'calories' in itself, or whether it 'nourishes' the body in other ways, such as promoting a healthy and diverse gut biome. Or contributing vitamins and minerals needed for enzyme pathways, or hormone production etc. eg, is Vit D a nutrient? Does it provide calories? Will you be healthy without it? Similarly, is magnesium a nutrient? Try refining it out of your diet nd see how you go..... Not well, I think

@@judithowens8212 Well, vit d and magnesium are required in the body, fiber is not. What do you think fiber provides in any way we know for sure is needed to make anything of value in the body? Calories are a very imprecise and incorrect proxy for energy, not nutrients, unless we are using calories as a proxy for an amount of food, which is inaccurate as well. I find it hard to think of either fiber or ingested carbs as nutrients, though we call them such.

I am fasting 19/5 and the weight is barely budging. I am a fifty year old lifelong yo yo dieter in menopause. I am trying to eat only whole foods, and make sure I go to bed a little hungry. I eat eggs, vegetables and greens, salmon and chicken, nuts and seeds and some berries and oranges. I use olive oil in avocado oil. I occasionally have whole grain bread for a sandwich or whole grain protein waffles and bacon When i'm feeling really lazy. I figured I might be getting too many calories. Do you recommend counting calories based on my weight while doing IF? Thank you!

You look almost exactly like me. ( except I’m much older )You are my doppelgänger.

Always follow the money.

Who decides what adverts precede videos? I'm asking because the one before this video featured a muscle man saying that carbs don't make you fat and that he loves to scoff doughnuts; not helpful at all. I think it's time that manipulating things like lists of the best foods to eat and the info on food packaging ( for financial gain ) should be made illegal. The dieting plans of too many people are being sabotaged by deception. It preys heavily on the weakness we have for sweet things and to be honest i think it's quite evil. It's the same as tricking a dry alcoholic into having a drink. Having said all that i have to applaud this video, it's one of Becky's best! 😎

Such a terrible society we live in...our food manufacturers are killing us. Thank you for explaining all the truths to us, as it's hard to figure out what to eat anymore.

Counting Calories works better for me because I don't want to highly restrict food like potatoes, pasta or rice.

My guess regarding Froot Loops would be: the packaging is more healthy to eat than the contens😂

Most cereals have added chemicals than can make you sick. Most processed and package foods have these.

I’m having such a hard time with my cholesterol. Everything is high. I have been in keto for almost two years. I know it can rise in the beginning but this has been too long. I am constantly arguing with my doc about this. He wants me on meds and I refuse for so many reasons. I have lost a lot of weight, feel great but am worried. I eat pretty faithfully keto. Always make my own foods. Cheat every once in a while but am pretty consistent. Always looking for new recipes. I don’t know what to do.

What are your numbers? Total Cholesterol, HDL, LDL and Triglycerides? A1C? Are they moderately out of range of what the medical community THINKS should be normal or are they exceedingly out of range? What are your reasons for not taking a statin? Have you looked into Intermittent Fasting? If you’ve been doing the same thing for two years and are not happy with the result, then you probably need to reevaluate and try something else.

Would you think that a animal based diet would be beneficial, or even recommended for a person who is already dealing with heart disease-atherosclerosis? Just wondering about this carnivore diet craze and if someone already has CAD, such as calcified plaque, if that would even be a safe choice or more like suicide.

I went to Tufts and when I saw their study months ago I was convinced it was fake news. Sadly, it appears I was wrong.

Whole Foods is key, that’s what I got out of this anyway

Search DB videos. I think in one of them she expressed the idea that because you are drinking 2 of your meals, you are spiking your insulin levels due to the fast digestion of the liquid meals. Maybe try switching at least 1 meal to Whole Foods and see if it makes a difference?

Calorie counting is needed w keto . You can’t eat 12000 calories and not gain. Ketosis works if you have no distractions. It is great for older people with grown kids. Not the case for me.
