the body absorbs high fructose corn syrup and honey, the is no real difference and the "healthy" benefits of honey are so minimal, there is no difference. Avoid are sugars if your going to be "clean"
I've always enjoyed your videos over other "keto" people like Thomas Delauer and others. They just get too science-y and to me, present a crazy, not liveable diet. I'm 35 and recently went from 310 in June to 263 today. I want to lose another 40lbs and I've started working out to help with that. I don't want to be a chemist or a from-scratch baker. I want to live my life and be healthy for my wife and 3 kids by avoiding the junk fillers they put in our food. You're videos are helping me "reimagine" normal, everyday food my family and I can eat without becoming a Ph.D. in nutrition.
Love how you are diving deeper into the ingredients, labels,, symptoms and whys for those viewers whom are not aware of clean eating. It's self sabotage without realizing the importance of labels and ingredients to low carb lifestyle. Awesome content.
Great info Myra! Everything you said is true! Maltitol really messed up your gut. Small constructive criticism. Please cut out the music, it's too distracting and hard to hear you over it. Otherwise you did a fabulous job!
I have lost over 160Lbs. I love your videos. You give so many ideas and great tips. Weight loss is so much easier when you can substitute your food habits with reduced products. Always check the labels and make sure there isn’t to many sugars salts or processed ingredients.
Mayra- you are a Godsend! I am back on Keto due to weight gain and swelling. I found you during COVID and your tips and recipes helped me tremendously. I’ve since been following you on IG and decided to start low carbing again. Let me say, I down 6 lbs in the first week. I no longer feel or have bloating and inflammation. I purchased your ebook and will now have you solidly included in ALL of my meals. Muchas gracias!!
Primal Kitchen is a great alternative to the typical salad dressings, if you don't want to make your own. Clean as can be, since they use Avocado oil. They also make some great BBQ sauce that tastes great and is very low carb. The brand is a bit expensive, but worth it IMO.
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing about that artificial sweetener, and so glad you got your daughter treated at the hospital and discovered the cause of the issue. Yes, these companies bank on folks not knowing what is in their products that we consume, and buy, due to heavy brand marketing.
Great video, Myra! I have been telling family and friends to read every package for a few years now. Maltitol is the worst of all sugar alcohols, in my opinion. I do say, however, that fructose is definitely worse than table sugar due to how your body processes these two forms of sugar. Fructose is hard on your liver. Thanks for continuing to produce great content. 😊😊😊
Mayra, love your videos. I lost 45-50 lbs on keto. Unfortunately I gained it back. I am going back on keto and you are one of the main reasons why. Thank you and would love to see part 2
I love all your videos. I think you do such a great job explaining them the details you get all the information. How do you go step-by-step when you go grocery shopping I just love it. I just threw everything out of my pantry and started buying a whole Lotta stuff and my refrigerator of things that you’re showing which is so interesting cause then it gives me a lot of motivation, please please send me the recipes for your dressings for my salad. I really would appreciate it. I give you 100% you’re the greatest.
OMGosh, I had several Russell Stover Fruit Chews, which, on the front, says 'sugar free' made with stevia extract, and ingredients, first ingredient states Maltitol. Had horrible stomach pain, diarrhea, after I ate them, and thought, what the heck??? Had no idea that was probably it. Im checked, as you mention this, and, yep, there it was!!! Now I know what to watch for in my ingredients. Had no idea that was a possibility. Thanks for the heads up!!!❤
Being fully aware of reading labels etc this made me cringe thank you so much for dojng this video to help others!!! No one is perfect but have to start somewhere
Yep sugar free stuff is sometimes worse than just going ahead and eating the regular sugar stuff. Cause of the sugar alcohol it contains. A lot of people don't realize just cause it said sugar free they can eat it. So, thanks for pointing that out. Also, between my hubby and you, y'all really encouraged me to get up and make my own stuff. I was already starting to slowly make my own stuff, but this is the real push I needed. Love your recipes. Did the big Mac salad the other day, it was really good. Getting more into the low carb lifestyle.
You are so right with the maltitol. I loved those Russell Stover’s turtles but I would either get so painfully bloated or have terrible diarrhea! So disappointing for me.😢
I just found your channel and really enjoy the content. However I find the the background music to be too loud and distracting. You don’t really need music. Your content is already so good.
I'll buy the Hershey's miniatures or small peanut butter cups or the Russel Stover's candies, but will limit myself to no more than one per day.. Once I bought the gummy bears made with maltitol but ate no more than four a day. You have to be careful! Also, regarding salad dressings...they are really easy to make at home and taste SO MUCH BETTER! Thanks for the great video!
Mayra, thank you for educating us on all this. I am 64 and still learning from you everyday. Love every single one you make. You are so generous in donating your time to do this, would love a part two also please. God bless !!
Thank you for sharing this video very helpful, I’m just now starting my journey to living a more healthier lifestyle and I truly needs this.. And but yes most definitely do a second and third part of this. Thanks again
Thank you, Myra. I really appreciate this information. And yes, maltitol made me so sick. I hate that they sneak those horrible ingredients into our food. I have lost 30lbs. so far. I'm doing pretty good on low carb.
Thank you so much for this video, it is so helpful for one that does most of the food shopping in my household. I would love to see more Billie this. These big companies are always looking for ways to hide poor ingredients in our food.
This was great, I took a lot of notes, I always have a stomach ache and stomach issues, I figured it was normal for me, one day I heard my son say to another family member, my mom always has a stomach ache, I didn’t even realize I was complaining out loud. Thank you so much Myra
Everyone is different. There is so much research into sugar and sugar substitutes and why each one is technically "safe". I personally have had pretty bad effects with aspartame and sometimes sucralose if I have it on a consistent basis. So, I actually prefer sugar and high fructose corn syrup to these sweeteners. I think they are more natural and do not effect me in a negative way, You will of course gain a ton of weight eating a lot of sugar, but everyone knows that :)
Yesss please! I love your videos and love that you are actually talking about these ingredients that sooo many people including myself are not aware of and that aren’t good for you. Please do a part 2. Thank you.
The Russell Stover’s made me SO glad that I live alone - nothing more to be said. I don’t even have to argue with myself about those. I didn’t know the ingredient’s name tho - thanks! Great video 👍
Thanks for this video! I was eating those sugar free/stevia candies and was wondering why they gave me diarrhea soon after. I knew it was some ingredient, but didn't know which one. Mystery solved. So thanks again!
Thank you for all the great information, I have been watching you for a while now, your awesome I have successfully lost over 60 pounds, now it's about staying the weight I am..I 58 and been lifting weight, it's awesome for people as we age.
My favorite is the uncured natures promised turkey bacon. It’s almost like a jerky once you get done cooking I love it and it comes up healthy on Yuka as not having any hazardous ingredients
Thank you for this. I’ve been more attentive to reading the labels. I heard “Maltodextrin is a carb more dangerous than sugar” as per - Dr. Eric Berg. Keep an eye out for that ingredient in “sugar free” items.
I love Ghirardelli and I was excited when you showed the no sugar added chips, then got totally bummed that they use maltitol. I hope they consider changing!
I am a 66-year-old woman and have dieted all of my life from the time I was probably 14 you remind me so much of myself I'm a foodie I love something sweet after dinner but I'm only five foot one my husband's 6 ft 4 has no issues whatsoever with his weight I've been dealing with this so many years I just want to stop!!!
I’m 70 years old and I’m just now realizing the bad effects that so many food items have on my system.. even last night I put a lot of Everything but the Bagel “ on some cream cheese..and about 20 minutes after I ate it I started having stomach cramps. I don’t know if was some of the spices or what! Thank you so much for information that helps people like me. I’m trying to lose about 20 lbs right now and I want to be healthier ❤
These is great, thank you. I also watched your video on making homemade dressing. I have seen some mayonnaise that's high in soybean, is there a brand that has low or no soybean?
My food budget is $100 per month, a very, very fixed income. I can't afford all the fancy-schmancy food items you suggest all the time. I have been watching your videos for years. They are the best by far, out there. Even if I can't afford to eat clean, I still love you and your videos. ❤️🙏🥰😘
I liked the valuable information in this video BUT the earpounding music ( 🎶 ?) drove me to MUTE the entire video and go to CAPTIONS ON MODE. I ❤ hearing you talking dieting correctly, your voice expressions add so much understanding about exactly 💯 where you stand on certain topics. Having to MUTE because of the music (🎶?) them left me missing 😪 your beautifully candid narratives. Thankfully I don't see these sound level issues often but I did feel that I had to mention it about this video.
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this message. I been consuming these things often and I wonder why I wasn’t losing any weight. I will most definitely be careful on what I consume in my body.
I used to think that sugar was sugar too! Wrong! High fructose corn syrup is worse than other sugars unfortunately. Fructose is metabolized in a different way than other sugars and is just as hard on the liver as alcohol. It is the main reason that so many people have non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. Thank you for the info about maltitol! Love your channel!
I just checked a lot of what I use occasionally, and they do have some of the bad stuff. I shop at Walmart a lot and they carry a chocolate chip brand called Bake Believe which has no added sugars and none of the bad stuff.
Like this comment if you want me to do a Part 2! Ingredients are so important and watching what you put in your body can make a world of a difference!
yes plz do
Would love to see a part 2
Yes, thank you. I appreciate all you do to help us stay on track ❤
Yes please do part 2
Natural or Artificial Flavor = CHEMICALS
1. Soybean Oil
2. High Fructose Corn Syrup (maybe use honey or maple syrup or sugar free syrup)
3. Maltitol
4. Artificial Food Dyes
5. Nitrates
Thanks
@kittkatt1327 Thanks so much👍
Thank you for this!
the body absorbs high fructose corn syrup and honey, the is no real difference and the "healthy" benefits of honey are so minimal, there is no difference. Avoid are sugars if your going to be "clean"
Dairy and red meat causes major inflammation.
Try to avoid these ingredients:
1. Soy bean Oil ( causes inflammation)
2. Canola Oil ( causes inflammation)
3. High Fructose Corn Syrup ( over processed sugar)
4. Maltitol ( causes digestion issues)
5. Red 40 ( causes digestive issues)
6. Yellow 6 ( causes digestive issues)
7. Nitrates ( causes digestive issues)
Once in awhile is ok…..Just NOT as in your daily intake.
@815donalduck👍😉
Want to know how fast you can run? Eat an item with Maltitol, and clock your speed/time to the bathroom.
This has happened to me 😭🫣
😅
Not everyone is the same. Metformin has been issue free for me others have slight side affects.
😂😂😂
I only have that problem if I eat too much of it.
I've always enjoyed your videos over other "keto" people like Thomas Delauer and others. They just get too science-y and to me, present a crazy, not liveable diet. I'm 35 and recently went from 310 in June to 263 today. I want to lose another 40lbs and I've started working out to help with that. I don't want to be a chemist or a from-scratch baker. I want to live my life and be healthy for my wife and 3 kids by avoiding the junk fillers they put in our food. You're videos are helping me "reimagine" normal, everyday food my family and I can eat without becoming a Ph.D. in nutrition.
Love how you are diving deeper into the ingredients, labels,, symptoms and whys for those viewers whom are not aware of clean eating. It's self sabotage without realizing the importance of labels and ingredients to low carb lifestyle. Awesome content.

Awww thank you so much for watching ❤
Maltitol is one of our LEAST favorite ingredients along with any artificial sweeteners. Thank you for giving us a little shout out ✨
Yes!!!! Me love you guys always ❤
My problem is I can eat an entire bag of those chocolate chips in one sitting. Especially the mint ones. They are this good.
We don't blame you! They are very delicious ☺@@anettakozlowska1215
Yes, I’ve had sugar free candy and I was in pain the next day! Now I know why. Would love to see a part 2. Thank you!
First thing is to find out which type of artificial sugar is ok with you. Some people are sensitive to Erytriol, or something else...
Primal Kitchen is a great alternative to the typical salad dressings, if you don't want to make your own. Clean as can be, since they use Avocado oil. They also make some great BBQ sauce that tastes great and is very low carb. The brand is a bit expensive, but worth it IMO.
I use primal kitchen
I love Primal Kitchen products. Expensive but worth it.
Yes! Do a part 2! I actually love Primal Kitchen dressings and mayo to use for salads and dips!! I would like to try your recipe.
❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing about that artificial sweetener, and so glad you got your daughter treated at the hospital and discovered the cause of the issue. Yes, these companies bank on folks not knowing what is in their products that we consume, and buy, due to heavy brand marketing.

You are such an inspiration to about a million people including myself. Thank you for what you do and keep up the great work ❤
Thank you so much for always commenting! I really appreciate it and hope that it continues to help you!
Love this video! I want more grocery ones because I get stuck on what to look for
OMGosh, I had several Russell Stover Fruit Chews, which, on the front, says 'sugar free' made with stevia extract, and ingredients, first ingredient states Maltitol.

I like the rays no sugar bbq sauce. Its a staple in my pantry. And my teenage kid cannot even tell its no sugar added.
You know what would be nice is a list of ingredients to avoid and yes a part two I would like
Thanks Mayra.
Thanks for the info. It’s much appreciated.
Being fully aware of reading labels etc this made me cringe thank you so much for dojng this video to help others!!! No one is perfect but have to start somewhere

Yes! Sugar free doesn’t always mean that it’s good for you! Paying attention to all the ingredients.
Thank you for these types of videos. It helps so much because I am a label reader when I grocery shop
Thank you Myra for all that you do from Texas
You are so welcome❤️❤️
Hello Mary Moreno I am a fellow Texan too!
You are so right with the maltitol. I loved those Russell Stover’s turtles but I would either get so painfully bloated or have terrible diarrhea! So disappointing for me.😢

Yay! You're at my fave grocery store. Not necessarily my favorite but where I usually do my grocery shopping. Yes! Thank you.
Thank you for this. I've already purchased the syrups and fruit jams from Choczero and was surprised that they really taste good.
So good!

Love these kind of videos❤ I’m a parent and now I’m always checking the labels and out for dyes
I like your advice ,but the music is so annoying.
Yesss please! I love your videos and love that you are actually talking about these ingredients that sooo many people including myself are not aware of and that aren’t good for you. Please do a part 2. Thank you.
I know I say this often but seeing your beautiful face always brightens my day :)
Great info to know! Ever tried making lemon tahini dressing? With fresh onion, bell pepper and celery it is wonderful!
Yes! Would love more videos like this!
The Russell Stover’s made me SO glad that I live alone - nothing more to be said. I don’t even have to argue with myself about those. I didn’t know the ingredient’s name tho - thanks! Great video 👍
You are awesome. Thanks for all that you do to educate us.
Love this ❤Thank you for the knowledge!!!
Thank you for this video! Very informative!
Another great video, thank you ❤
Thank you for doing all the work for us!!!! Love your videos with great nutritional information and your positive and genuine energy!!!!
Loved this…thank you!
Thanks for this video! I was eating those sugar free/stevia candies and was wondering why they gave me diarrhea soon after. I knew it was some ingredient, but didn't know which one. Mystery solved. So thanks again!
Great video. Very informative
I top my pancakes with greek yogurt and pecans. Sometimes Blueberries instead of the yogurt and nuts.
Appreciate all the good information. Just noticed you do not wear a ring on your left hand. Where is Donny?
Great video can't wait to watch part 2!
Very great information thanks for the help girl!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for all the great information, I have been watching you for a while now, your awesome I have successfully lost over 60 pounds, now it's about staying the weight I am..I 58 and been lifting weight, it's awesome for people as we age.
Excellent information. Thank you!
Banger of a video.
Thank you for watching ❤
Totally agree. Make your own.
Thank you so much for educating me.
Btw, Maltitol gives me cramps, bloating & the runs...the worse. Years ago I ate half a bag of sugar free taffy...thought I was dying😢
My favorite is the uncured natures promised turkey bacon. It’s almost like a jerky once you get done cooking I love it and it comes up healthy on Yuka as not having any hazardous ingredients

Me too! I’m hoping they change it too!
Thank you! I am now better informed.
I saw that with the Ray's No Sugar Added too! its deeelish 🤤 one of my fave recent finds
Primal Kitchen always uses 0 sugar and is made with avocado oil and is all natural ingredients. It is also clean and organic.
I truly appreciate your information.
I am a 66-year-old woman and have dieted all of my life from the time I was probably 14 you remind me so much of myself I'm a foodie I love something sweet after dinner but I'm only five foot one my husband's 6 ft 4 has no issues whatsoever with his weight I've been dealing with this so many years I just want to stop!!!

Thank you so much I'm in anything for good health ❤️🙏🏽😃
I just found your channel and I am so grateful!
Thank you so much for this wealth of information!
I would like to see what I should be buying. Good alternatives.
Please salad dressings recipes Myra
Thanks myra your video was very helpful.
These is great, thank you. I also watched your video on making homemade dressing. I have seen some mayonnaise that's high in soybean, is there a brand that has low or no soybean?

When you stir fry something, what oil do you use? Avocado, Olive oil? What do you think about coconut oil?
Thank you for this very informative video.
Love the video, thank you! Couldnt if come at a better time ☺️
Hi Mayra, what’s your opinion on the Mr Hughes salad dressings and bbq sauce??
Thank you….
I buy pure maple syrup. It taste so much better and healthier for you.
Yess thank you, really helps a lot
You're so welcome love! Thank you so much for watching ❤ Always feel free to give me video suggestions, I'm here to help!
I liked the valuable information in this video BUT the earpounding music ( 🎶 ?) drove me to MUTE the entire video and go to CAPTIONS ON MODE.

Yes! Very very helpful..😊
So glad!💕💕
Great video
Fresh citrus lime or lemon & quality olive oils & quality vinegars! 🎉
Thank you so much for this video. I really needed to hear this message. I been consuming these things often and I wonder why I wasn’t losing any weight. I will most definitely be careful on what I consume in my body.

I just checked a lot of what I use occasionally, and they do have some of the bad stuff. I shop at Walmart a lot and they carry a chocolate chip brand called Bake Believe which has no added sugars and none of the bad stuff.
