- So many people try “keto’ or some concocted version of a keto-type diet based on some internet expert’s “here’s how to do it…”, do great then crash and burn so on to the next diet in an endless search for weightloss magic. This video discusses a more sustainable approach to keto as a lifestyle rather than an instant weightloss diet. We discuss common mistakes that lead to failure and how to avoid or work through these pitfalls so that low carb can become a lifestyle that is with you for the rest of your life.

After 3 years in keto I found “cheat days” and channels that focuses on keto snacks and desserts will kill it. Like Dr. Rob once said “Alcoholics do not celebrate a week of sobriety by drinking a beer” so carboholics shouldn’t celebrate either, just roll with it.
Thanks for adding Dr Rob's words about alcoholics celebrating sobriety. They really drove home the stupidity of allowing myself a piece of cake here and some bread there!
I appreciate your post very much!
Having a piece of cake in a celebration, or having one meal that have some carbs in them don't destroy anything unless it changes what you do in tge daily routines. What you do in daily basis decides, not what you do four times a year. That's ridiculous.
@@oysteinsoreide4323 you really dont understand addiction do you?
@@oysteinsoreide4323 those “occasions” can throw you back into a daily carb habit. That’s the Dr.’s point of approaching this for the carb addiction that it is for most ppl.
@@jeniferjohnson374 it can do that. But it doesn't have to do that. As long as I see the low carb thing to be the rest of my life, there isn't much danger taking a piece of cake at a celebration. At least as it's not something that happens every week. But addiction have grades. Not everyone are equally addicted to something. Both when it comes to alcohol and when it comes to carbs and sugar.
Failure is only permanent when you don’t try again.
- Dr. Rob Cywes.
That’s so true. I really need this encouragement.
Yes small changes until you can abstain. I know what I can handle and it is nothing sweet! No stevia, no whipped cream, no keto ice cream. I have to abstain or I find myself having to gradually get back to un-addicted. Always happy to see you post, thank you!
Quitting smoking is easy. I know a guy who did it 6 times last year.
😂🤣😅
Saw him in the mirror?
@@duststorm7287 Naw, that's one thing I never did. I'm 63 and was definitely a sugar addict for most of those years.
So true
Well said
Thank you for your videos and this great advice is not just for rookies. We all sometimes need a reminder of our why and how. Just coming up to 4 years keto. I have I always been perfect? No, but I have never strayed too far. My health is so much better and I am maintaining 30kg weight loss. This is my way of life now, not my 'diet'.
Don't run out and buy a bunch of crap that says "Keto" on the package. Eat real food.
Keto snacks, lead to eating MORE keto snacks!
Also, if you have dinner guests, don't say you're making a keto meal, that's scary to the uninitiated. Just say you're doing salmon with sauteed zucchini and salad, for example. It's just regular food to us, so just let it be that to others too. Use spices and herbs, we're not eating bland "diet food".
You are so helpful. I finally woke up about covid and decided to take control of my body and mind. I was already trying to do Keto and a bit of intermittent fasting. Aug 14th I went carnivore and have not looked back. So far I've lost 25 lbs and many inches. I was 240 lbs I'm still 5-10 and 63 years old with heart disease. So far no cravings and only 1 piece of birthday cake. I'm feeling so good. thank you again.
That’s exactly why I decided to do Keto. It’s been the best choice I’ve made in a long time. I’m 64 and have lost 68 lbs in one year. I’m more Ketovore more than just Keto. It seems to suit me better.
I had to go cold turkey on my sugar; otherwise, it would have never happened. Everything else was gradual.
Greg, I listened to your songs here on TH-cam. Massive thumbs up for so boldly sharing about Christ in your life! 👍👍 Good job on the health front too. ☺
I agree with problem with trying to find substitutes for carbs. It's a poor substitute that makes you want the forbidden fruit even more. I do think it's good to find real foods you love versus using crappy tasting low carb alternatives that poorly mimic the real thing. BUT it is nice to know there are alternatives for those times you just can't fight that craving. I've done that for pasta once and I have some in the cupboard if I need to do that again in the future. But that is once in 6 months. Come Thanksgiving, I'll make myself a low carb pumpkin something because I'm going to want a dessert, so I should try to find one that works with eating low carb.
But I 100% agree that it is a slow process of getting there. I actually worry that this big keto push right now will result in a "I tried and and I failed so it doesn't work and therefore the keto diet is crap." When I would be my life that it's not. I finally got there for myself after YEARS of trying to get there. It would have helped if I understood or knew of carb addiction 11 years ago when I started this path.
i have been keto for 16 months... I did go all in all at once and it did work for me personally. But maybe it doesn't work for everyone
I did also do some look-alike foods... but I did eventually come to Doctor C's conclusion that it wasn't working for me.
For me a big mistake is focusing too much on the macros. You don't have to eat extra fat to hit a fat goal. The main thing is reducing the carbs.
Don't be afraid of fat, but if you just eat natural food and learn to trust your instincts and eat until you are satisfied.
I also did it cold turkey, quitting all carbs from one day to the next. Dark chocolate, crackers were my two habits. Other than that, steamed veggies and a meat every single night. That's all I ate. I do, however use look a likes in the way of egg noodles (ketogenic woman's viral noodles), protein rolls (chris cooks Nashville's hotdogs buns that I form into rolls) and ketogenic woman's waffles made with eggs, pork rinds and butter. They are all amazing, and the emotional benefit of baking for myself and my husband is very joyful for me. It gives me no desire for the real thing. I never even ate those things on my regular diet. I just think, no I KNOW, that baking on carnivore is very individual, and it works for me! No carbs included, by the way. Just animal products....
This is one of the most legit videos I've seen based on my own understanding. One thing that hit home was how people replace unhealthy things with "healthy" versions of the same things, which makes it hard to cut ties. Thanks for the video.
I tried, failed, and now I’m trying again! Love these tips! And, love your video messages! Keep them Coming, please!! 💛🌻💛
almost 2 years of Keto for me, this is great advice - I found Keto easy because I don't mind cooking and eating really simply, some people need fancy meals and you can make them delicious, makes dieting easy - if your partner isn't going with you you will have to be very strong, my partner was not and still is not respectful, hahaha she tried to tempt me and sometimes it has worked, but I always go back to my Keto, and each time I get stronger
I jumped into keto at once, removed the carbs all in one go. It’s been a year…
That’s currently what I’m doing and I’m suffering some keto flu, how long did it take you to adapt to fat?
I have no support around me. My family just gives me grief. My husband is alright with me doing it, but he eats ice cream, popcorn and everything in front of me. He makes a point in me seeing it. He says he’s supportive but doesn’t think it’s going to work. I’m doing this as a life choice to get me insulin down. I’ve already dropped my insulin from 120 units to 40 units.
Keep doing what you need to do...don't give in to fit in...be committed.
Been doing keto for over two years now. I tend to gravitate toward his “hardcore” advice, which has served me well. My average daily carbs are around 5-7 grams simply because I have given up all previous eating patterns, and fully committed to the keto lifestyle. Keep up the great work Doctor:).
I went keto 3 years ago and def had the keto ‘flu’ and felt very lethargic...so thankful I was able to push through. It would have been easier if I had made gradual changes BUT sometimes you go hardcore 🤣. I am now ketovore and eat 90% meat. Trying to find carb copycat recipes does not work for me. I do best on meat and about 10 carbs. Thanks for sharing your expertise. Good tips!!
Totally agree, l do find that celebrations are difficult, with 12 grandchildren it seems someone is always saying, we are lighting the candles come round for a sml piece????
Of cake that is, not a candle, 😂😂😂😂😂🕯️
I am not embarking on a keto diet. It is a keto journey. There is no fixed destination, just the journey itself. Hit a plateau with weight loss, so I changed the journey to exercising. From 15 mins on elliptical, took it up to 60 mins.
Thank you Dr Cywes. I am a former carb addict.
I have been Keto/Carnivore for a year and a half. I have only lost 13 pounds total in that time.... but I did not make this change for weight loss. I made this life style change to get my blood glucose under control. I am a type 2 diabetic. When I was diagnosed I had a blood glucose of 355 and an A1C of 10.5. As of July this year my A1c is 5.8. My blood glucose varies between as low as 75 to as high as 127 (that is usually within an hour of eating). If I get my blood glucose to 5.7 I will no longer be considered diabetic according to the CDC. My goal is to get my type 2 diabetes into full remission and be able to come of the metformin and Glipizide.
I did jump into the deep end all at once. I did not have carb withdrawal until I went Carnivore. I think this was because I fell into the "net carbs" trap.
i dont think i've lost any weight! but my a1c is 5.3 lol
Cut your seed oils. They hide in chicken, and other mono-gastric animals. Beef has a healthier fatty-acid profile.
Apart from the seed oil reduction already suggested, if you only eat when you are actually hungry and try and cut out the habit or boredom eating you may do better. I gravitated towards one or two meals a day after I had been on keto/ketovore a while.
@@aliendroneservices6621 Thank you for the advice. I only use butter, Avocado Oil, tallow, and some times lard but not often.
@@ling20805 Thanks for the suggestion. I am already doing this. There are days I eat 3 times and some times I only eat twice. I think the slow change on the scale has to do with my insulin levels still being elevated from the type 2 diabetes. I'm hoping the insulin sensitivity will return soon. Dr Cywes says it can take as long as 2 years depending on how long the insulin resistance has been there. I'm not giving up. Not with the progress I have made from what I have learned from Dr Cywes.
I started keto directly, but I had some hard days the first week. But I worked through them and now I'm almost one year in, and have no plans to quit
I broke most of these rules. Transitioned over 8 days with the only discernible carbs being a half portion of potato with dinner. After that I have been on under 15g of carbs a day. The only rule I didn't break is substituting carbs. Mind you my aim was lowering inflammation rather than weight loss.
Get rid of inflammation and you will enjoy life !
@@Santu2409 You are so right. I was down to being able to walk 20 minutes every third day. Now I can be on my feet several hours a day. The underlying problem is still there but at least I have something of a life again.
As a bonus I no longer have hypertension. From struggling to keep blood pressure to 160/95 I now average 120/80.
Thank you ... although I've lost 50lbs since Nov of 2020... I think I made most or all of these rookie mistakes. My wife and I have hit a plateau in the past several months and seem to have 'lost' our way -- so... it's back to basics for us, and lets get this going again. I'm going to go back and write these 10 guide points down so that my wife and I can get back on track. Thanks Dr., it's almost like you read my mind... I needed this!
You always upload a video when I need you most! You're amazing. Thank you😊
You are totally right about starting Keto eating for life. But do not forget your Electrolytes . Sodium, Potassium, Magnesium and also Zinc and yes not an electrolyte but a hormone that is called Vitamine D.
I did start slow but now I am so happy and proud of my diving into Keto to save my life, Intermittent fasting of 20 hrs and 4 hour window for feeding. All is great . My fingers were getting crooked by arthritis. Now that process as stoped and my fingers are painless and going back to normal slowly.
I am 63 and my fat liver is no longer fat. Thanks to you Doctor Cywes and to Dr. Ken D Berry.
The key is to make the transition slowly. It took me 6 weeks to have a confortable transition and no Keto flu
18 weeks into my journey (about 13 of them on zero-carb keto), and all my numbers are unbelievable!
The one that I am proudest of is my metabolic age.. started at 53 (I am chronologically 41), went down to 49, 41, and now at 27 as of 4 weeks ago.
I have another BIA test in 2 weeks, and hopefully, I'll be at 18 :-).
Another one was body fat. Went from 25.5% to 24.0% in the first 4 weeks (still on a typical RD-prescribed diet + eating frequency). When I switched to zero-carb keto, that quickly came down to 16.8% body fat 13 weeks later. I'm probably much closer to 10% body fat now; I'll know in 2 weeks for my next BIA test.
And the best part - I am not hungry. I eat until I am full. I don't count calories. I don't measure portion sizes. I eat 80% fat, 20% protein and plenty of cruciferous vegetables. I do 2MAD, and have my 2 glasses of cocktail + 2 bottles of wine between Saturday + Sunday only; water + tea only Monday - Friday, with sparkling water as my bridge drink (and I never liked sparkling water - it's a mental thing).
And I enjoy all the food, with no craving for carbohydrates.
It's something I've found is hard to explain to people that feel carbohydrates are essential. So I tell them that when they are ready to experience it, they will understand it then.
You drink how much?? You're problem sounds like something other than twinkies and rice....
Evening Dr Rob! I went cold turkey and whew😅😩. I do agree with you that this doesn’t need to be a full on transformative moment. It’s fine to make small changes at a time.
Hilarious, in the middle of this episode, a keto cheese puff commercial comes on.🤣
This is spot on! I absolutely use my family to bring in bad food! Yep! Even small innocent children... "It's for little Jonny..." No it's not lady! Little Jonny doesn't even like kettle cooked potato chips and frozen chocolate covered banana slices!!!!!! It's for me! All me!!!!! It's my damn crack and I will lie to get it!
Keep focusing on nutrition and consumption of meats and your cravings will lessen. I used to buy a coffee cake, telling myself that I would share it with the family. You can guess who ate it all, haha! So you’re right, don’t bring non- nutritious food into your home.
So when I started my journey back to health through diet 18 weeks ago, I went to see an RD who put me on a standard diet (high-carb, low-fat, low-protein), 3 meals a day + 2 snacks in between. I followed that for all of 4 weeks, and even though it worked, the rat-hole I went down trying to understand the contribution of diet toward overall health finally led me to keto.
4 weeks later, I switched to keto, but low-carb, as I was still under the impression that carbs were essential. My favourite carbs were rice, chapati (roti), fries, low-fat flavoured yoghurt, cashew nuts, plain baked cheesecake, dirty burgers, risotto, pizza and beans. Understanding my love for carbs from an emotion-based addiction standpoint, per the Good Doc, I realized that I did not really need them anymore.
What made the transition to zero-carb another 3 weeks later easier, was the fact that I am a foodie, and I just love to eat good food. So keto was perfect for me, because all of the full flavours from fat, salt and meat was the perfect replacement for all of my favourite carbs.
Even though I know just how lovely my carbs will feel in my mouth when I chew or suck on them, I do not miss them or want them at all. Of course, being off them has eliminated my desire for glucose, but it doesn't mean that I have forgotten how lovely they taste. I've simply been able to mentally remember that, as per the Good Doc, while I dearly love my carbs, they beat me up every night to a pulp, when I come home from work. So while I miss the love, I don't miss the broken face anymore.
I realize (and also experience with other keto rookies that I help) that not everyone can go in deep like I did, and recognize the Good Doc's advice of taking it slow, which is why the advice I always give people that I help to start their journey is "Keto is 2% diet, 98% patience". We've been putting carbs through our bodies for decades... helping our bodies to unlearn all of that won't happen in one week, or one month, or even one year. As long as folk are patient about their journey, and continue to enjoy discovering themselves, and re-discovering their love for fat, salt and meat, there is no need to rush the process.
We aren't chasing weight goals or diet challenges on keto. We are creating a healthy, life-long relationship with food that is not only good for our overall health, but that we also actually enjoy eating.
Everybody wants a diet that helps them get healthier without the misery of constant hunger. The problem is most people cannot understand how to do that without carbs... we shall continue to help them, and grow the community, one halloumi cheese slice at a time :-).
After a couple of years, the cravings for sugar will dissipate. Then you can consider adding back some fruit or veggies occasionally. But no grains. I am happy without veggies.
@@jeannedigennaro6484 I already have no cravings for sugar. I know how good it tastes, but I really don't have the appetite for it.
Same goes for fruit; I don't want it. I can get the vitamins, minerals and trace minerals from fruit, from other non-carb sources.
I eat at least 5 cups of vegetables daily; non-starchy, practically zero-carb, cruciferous leafy greens.
“Don’t bring in the look a likes!” Best advice ever. This was likely my biggest downfall.
Really helpful ! Been at this for +2 years and a reminder of the basics is so relevant.
I get to eat a steak today! Great advice.
I’ve been failing for 7 years. I now have some really good habits out of those fails. I’m making less mistakes and failing less than I was 7 years ago. Starting to feel more solid with it now
I am glad I saw this one. Starting this diet my goal was primarily for weight loss.
I plateaued after 20 then 35 lbs, psychology it is rough
But after seeing your EP 300 to 306 about cholesterol and others, plus videos by Ken Berry about cholesterol I started to think about taking control of my health
I am 66+ working to get back to 185 after ballooning to 260
Thanks doc
I love this video!! So brilliant and different. Thank you SO much! 😊
Thank you so much for your clear instructions and your personal experience in your keto/carnivore health journey. I appreciate you and your heart to help others.
What a blessing of a video. Started and stopped keto so many times. I have been a Full blown, gave up on life carb addict here. I’ll never move past this. Lose and gain all my life. But intuition knows what to eat just can’t get there till now!!!!
Months back one day had the knowing to Eat hamburger salt and water for 3 days was the nirvana of my life. I felt free from addiction my choice… carbs…living the self inquiry being who I truly am UNTIL headache from hell struck. Brought me to my knees. Have tried again and again.
Woke at 555 this morning knowing it is a process and thought of you. Perfect timing of the video.
Your words of “don’t do the keto plunge” was gold to hear.
Universe knew I needed that nirvana feeling of freedom from hamb salt and water to have a taste of freedom.
Had a dream years ago “transition in the brain takes 21 days”. After this video I KNOW now to set my disciplined withdraw from diet pop, carbs to real foods to full keto. Blessings and love to you and your family. I will be donating to your pay pal. Your knowledge and wisdom is just what I needed this am!💕💕💕💕
👌🏼 Thank you Dr. Cywes. God bless you and your family! 🙏🏼 😊
This is such a great talk. I am well into this journey and it was so comforting to be agreeing with all your points and feeling your support from so very far away. Thank you.
Thank you for your insights, Dr. Robert.
Great video, you really nailed it. I've been keto/low carb for more than 3 years now. At one time of another I have made each of those errors, and learned the lessons (often the hard way). This video is a great refresher and I intend to return to it periodically. For beginners, take advantage of the wisdom in this video and you will improve your life dramatically.
Thank you as always ! I have to say I do follow these rules .. and am proud I have made the choice for the last 3 years to be as healthy as I can be … even when I stumble … I always jump directly back on ! I do it for my health ❤️
Haha, regularly at the dinner table my kids will say "Daddy, are you allowed to have this or that", and initially my response was "no I'm not allowed etc..". These days I correct myself and say "of course I'm allowed anything I want, however I choose not to (have)". In hindsight I've come to realize that small psychological change when eating together has had a much larger impact on the ease with which I maintain my diet.
Thank you for your time and knowledge. I shared keto info with a friend today. I sent this video to her.
I love this page! You are an incredible resource and love the way you break things down! 😊😊😊
Thank you! That was an excellent presentation of the facts that I have ignored.
This is a fantastic video! One of my favorites. Thank you for this🥰
Im carnivore.
Saw an advertisement for keto ice cream....
58 grams of carbs per serving.
Keto is a dead end street.
I’ve NEVER seen keto ice cream with 58 grams a serving. Either you’re mistaken or they are just using the keto name and lying.
@@TheRealRealOK dont know the brand but it had KETO in big letters on the fro.t of it. I dont care if it had 2. Not eating those chemicals.
@@duststorm7287 That's the whole point! Most people don't get that! I had a roommate ask me to pick up some "keto" chocolate that she likes. $10/bag for something that is the equivalent of a Recees' cup for 4x the price. But it's Keto!!!🤦🏻♀️🙄
I think you understand, that if a product says KETO on the package....run, Forrest, run!!!! Doc just said Do Not buy lookalikes!!!! Or did I misinterpret your remark?
@@pittsburgh-gal im carnivore. I dont buy crap. I just saw it in an ad.
I removed all sugar and carbs from my diet all at once and was sick for 3 days. I wouldn't recommend it, but on the flip side, I was fine once that passed, and I had an incentive never to go through that again.
I needed this video today. Thank you so much.
I totally agree with the gradual approach.
Thank you, outstanding summary, shared with family.
Great Advice as always Doctor!! thanks for all you do
Excellent talk! Thanx, Doc
This is real helpful! Thank you for the reminder….
Thanks for telling it like it is, Dr Cywes! You are a truth bomb!
Thanks Doc!
Thank you so much!
Thank you for this enriching video to better move forward!!
I really liked !
Good advice. Thank you.
Thanks for wisdom, clarity, & tips. Especially appreciate your coaching about transforming behaviors, making choices, planning ahead, not feeling deprived, developing strategies. Great that you shared that you've lost 100 pounds. ♥️ this: " Failure is only permanent when you don't try again."
Excellent advice…..thankyou……
Many very wise words. They certainly resound with me.
Thanks.
Loved this video- highly recommend!
Great Advice!
Yes! I just started this journey in November 2021& yes little by little I’m getting carbs out. It’s working down 20 lbs in 4 months 👍🏻😁
I needed to hear this. As I am starting keto all over again.
Thank you ☺️
When you have an understanding of what your body does when you eat sugar and carbs it helps to eliminate it and not be so seduced by eating it. Thank you for your teaching and knowledge.
I've been keto for 2.5 years and ketovore for 1 year. I've lost the weight, kept it off and my energy is great but I've been unwilling to give up cream and I think it's causing inflammation because my arthritis is still horrible. Also, my blood sugar is still too high running about 100 to 120.
I had thought that perhaps with the benefit of hindsight that tapering carbs might have been a better way to do it rather than how I did do it, (straight to keto). I felt a bit fuzzy for a month but have still managed to stick to it.
It would have been good to hear this advice 3 years ago, but I well fat adapted now. My first attempt at keto resulted in bad headaches from hypoglycaemia, may be a lack of salt too. My second (and successful) attempt was more sustained and required frequent visits to the bathroom as my digestive system wasn't used to. But within a month, it all started going smoothly. I had enough conviction about the science behind keto that I stuck it out. I already knew sugar was bad and I naturally have a 'meh' reaction to the taste of rice and bread, so the motivation was there.
plan-either tiny tomato's, frozen shrimp boil for a few minutes dip in butter, something, anything so i don't touch that icecream.
I love your videos and advice. Thank you very much for all your help. Could you please create a video about complications and difficulties associated with maintaining a Ketogenic and Carnivore diet after having a gallbladder removed. I for instance have discovered that I cannot fast for greater than 16hrs without having to deal with complications due to bile deficiency I think. My family doctor has been of no help to me on this matter. She just tells me that I should eat a lower fat diet.
What worked for me was to do just what you suggest: stages. It started for me with reducing carbs at breakfast, replacing them with meats/eggs, butter/olive oil, veggies (I include avocado, though it is a fruit). This soon allowed me to eat less often and expand these principles. My cornerstone breakfasts were: kimchi fried rice with an over easy egg (about 1/4 cup cooked rice), omelettes, fritattas, avocado toast with bacon and over easy egg. You can then expand by removing carbs (rice, toast) altogether (and not miss them)! You can expand by moving these principles to other meals (no snacks). If you do it bit at a time you don't miss snacks nor, eventually breakfasts. Avocado needs salt (as do ferments).
My deepest appreciation for all your videos. I´d be very pleased if you put a video on telling us how to quit eating chocolates. How to stop eating this kind of addicted sugar. Thanks in advance.
great video 👍 Mistakes are life lessons not a life sentence,
When I started four years ago I didn’t know about keto flu, but I only had one day of feeling sorta tired. I started Monday and never looked back. Meat and salad and low carb veg was our routine three meals a day until I didn’t want breakfast. Then and now I eat two meals a day. I make keto dinner for the family - mostly meat and salad and a few days a week I make low carb veg. Everyone seems happy.
As a chef I am pusher, manufacturer and junkie to my drug of choice. During the pandemic I was able to loose a substantial amount of weight, mainly sitting on the sofa as I was too unfit to exercise.
I use the internet for motivation, almost to the point of religion. Over the last 3 years I have lost over 90lbs but 2 months ago semeglutide was withdrawn by the GP due to international supply issues. I was only on the .5 dose but it took the edge of my appetite. Since then I have put back 10lbs. The only medical advice when the semeglutide was removed was to use more insulin. I have long known that insulin stores fat and this advice felt like a slap in the face. I've been toying with low carb for many years in an on off sort of way but now realise that full keto is probably the only way to get back on track. I am sort of ok most of the time but fail quite dramatically when faced with work related baking. The only way to get through making dessert for work is to taste NOTHING sweet.
At first on keto I went into it too fast, I got pretty sick at first, getting better now. I’m still having problems figuring out what to eat and get enough fat and not too much protein.I am doing this for my health first and foremost , if being thin is my only result from this, I have failed miserably.

One easy tip; "Always save your 'DAILY' bacon grease; FAT...for later addition to your :
Coffee, stews, tea, eggs, everything. This grease/FAT....has been vilified too long.
Most people are NOT going to add 'bacon grease to bacon'...but there's nothing wrong with bacon grease. Also...cook your bacon at lower heat to decrease transfats.
That "slow cooker" is great for cooking beef tips weekly, and then storing them in glass containers...not plastic sh*t. I add the Bacon Fat to my soups, which don't harbor enough grease/fats....very, very satisfying.
I'm also a pundant of NOT using bread grains at all; no pasta, no spaghettis, none. Obviously, people are realizing that "bread grains; with or without refinement,....are ALL utilized and metabolized by OUR bodies....JUST LIKE SUGAR...because "Breads...ARE...are what? They're SUGAR...AND cause the Metabolic Effects taught about here...and elsewhere.
Give your pancrease "a vacation for life".
I gave up one thing at a time with 2-3 weeks between. This allowed me to add just alittle more fat each week as hunger went down. I still lost all weight 65 lbs in 9 months and have kept it off for 3 years. Joined keto groups. Didnt start keto substitutes until a year in.
This one represents an exception whom ever else one also follows at the best of one's will (Ekberg, Berg etc), not only by a doctors somewhat rare means (according to my personal percepton) of focusing on our possible hazards following along with choosing an "anti-carbo-line", but just as much for also representing other very possible issues, included those on the biological front, in a focused and serious manner. A gift not the least for the many who foremost are in need of experiencing not being underestimated. Approaching 60, for instance, one's likely to have lived a long time with thinking "salt and saturated fat means death" and "carbs are OK if you use them wisely", which means that the Keto road might get rather bumpy, even if one gets past the state of "no really notable outcome". Let's think of this gift from Dr. Cywes, though, more like a "do" then like a "don't", as establishing one's orders of reactions is really what it's about as a stayer, often to the exact point that Dr. Cywes deals with it here. Lucky us, finding support for the determination needed, and needed in particular for everyone who not exactly are coming running from an athlete's position.
You just get it I wish I was surrounded by people like you
The biggest obstacle I faced when going Keto (day after Halloween, Nov 1 2021) was giving away all the bad foods I had stockpiled.
Pasta, rice, freezer full of "quick highly processed meals".
The problem I encountered was the guilt of giving these "bad" foods to friends and family, who I still care about. They (apparently) gladly took these foods, even though I felt guilty.
Not so much guilt with giving away the left over Halloween treats (that I used to just finish off over the following weeks).
But... 40 pounds lighter and feeling great (68 years old and now 194lbs.... and dropping) I'm hooked on Keto.
Wife does weight watchers so is close enough to my diet to not be a problem during meals.
I quit SAD one day started Cornivore the next including going from eating very little salt to consuming three or four grams a day, haven't looked back
Hey doc...So I am 63 and am having a hard time finding a PCP that will take me on since I live a low carb lifestyle...I had a stent installed in my left heart artery in 2006 and have been on several meds ever since...until now...I live in the villages in florida...Male, 67 inches, 165lbs (down from 210), following ketovore lifestyle for 8 months now and have stopped taking all medications except Embrel injections for psoriasis but have even cut that in half...my doctor dropped my since I refuse to take a statin...the only thing I need a doctor is to order blood tests...do you know any functional doctors here in the villages? Any help would be appreciated!!!
Love you.
I been fasting 20hr+ and been animal product based diet with portion of fruit and yogurt. In this case how long will it take me to fat adopted state? I Don't drink of smoke practice submission grappling 10hr a week and have no metabolic syndrome.
Look forward to hear from you
Gosh you sure are a handsome fella 🌻 thanks for all you do!
The good doctor should say that point 1...there are 2 types of people..those that commit totally and those that need to wean themselves to the keto diet.
I started totally in the deep end and have not diverted since. Once i commit to something..i never look back. I hate seeing all those keto channels out there pretending to be real keto..but their recipes are just about baking cakes and treats. Stop it
Your my tribe!!!👏👏
Who in the actual FU*K have this man a thumbs down?!?!
Is it okay to have heavy whipping cream and collagen in your morning coffee?
Get happy. The #1 thing that anyone can do to support their diet, lifestyle, health, wellness,...is to get happy. If a person is not happy in life, NOTHING will work, nothing with fix the problem. Get happy first. If it requires a divorce, new job, move to a new city or area, change of environment, new circle of friends,....whatever it take but get happy. Never be satisfied, never settle for less than the best, but get happy, get happy and working on a plan for the future. YES, took 10 years to get fat, now take ten years to get thin, if it happens sooner, awesome. After you are happy, get blood work and determine baseline health before jumping into a diet. Blood work is critical to determine if you are low or high in specific area so that those areas can be improved
Dr. Cywes, what to do about high blood pressure on the carnivore diet?
Mine has dropped from migraine producing and hospital visit 220/120 to 130/100 after going full carnivore (1st week, I ate high fat whenever I wanted, until I no longer craved stuffing my face, no carbs other than nuts) within a month. Not perfect, but good enough to not be forced to take attacand. Catarsen.
"It's called respect" so very true while my wife and I are not keto we are low carb (typically
Maybe it’s just me but when I make a commitment, I stick with it. I also went all in with keto and intermittent fasting all at once and it worked for me. I’m also not tempted to eat my partner’s cakes and sweets. If I’m tempted and convince myself I can cheat a little and it’s ok, then it just means I’m not fully committed to what I’m doing. So I don’t commit until I’m all in. I like that I don’t have to run away from certain foods and can be around any food without it affecting and tempting me. It’s probably just me.
Doc I’d like to hear your thoughts on the Protein Sparing Modified Fast (specifically for weight loss and diabetics) which has recently hit the keto/low carb community. I’ve tried it several times now and it regularly seems to lead to proper uncontrollable binge eating attacks which I’ve not had in years. Makes me wonder whether it’s the very low fat (30g a day)
I also find PSMF puts me into "seeking" behaviors with food. I feel full enough, but not satisfied somehow. It's weird, and I haven't figured it out. It "should" work. It's a shame, because I really see it work for some people, and wish I could do it. It might have something to do with a rise in insulin. I find when I eat more fatty dairy, like cream cheese and heavy cream, I'm hungrier the next day even though they don't raise my blood glucose more than a few points ever. I wear a continuous glucose monitor, and according to it's readings, high-fat dairy should be an appropriate food for me, but man, does it make me hungrier the next day.
@@annakatrina448 that’s the thing with a lot of these approaches; they should work but for some of us they just don’t work. I reversed my T2 diabetes 2 years ago with keto & fasting but I still have a few more pounds I want to lose. I’ve now stalled out for over a year and am just looking for additional things to kick start the fat loss again. I have been wondering whether in ex-diabetics like me all this lean protein like Maria Emmerich’s famous protein bread is actually causing a massive insulin spikes given that there’s no fat to buffer it. No way of knowing I guess but if there’s even a slight chance that this is what’s happening then I want none of it. Maybe I have to learn to live with my slightly higher weight but being satiated and content with a normal high fat keto diet and be happy my diabetes is reversed. Maybe I just can’t have it all...
Don’t look for perfection.always there’s are more pounds to loose somewhere .live ,eat healthy.the rest will follow.aim for healthy not for weight loss.it is a lifestyle not a diet.sometimes more is less and less is more.
