hey guys I’m back with five myths okay that are completely wrong let’s go through them number one all that fat will give you a heart attack have you ever heard that before absolutely not true fat is only bad if you add the carbohydrates okay like in you know ice cream for example and if you add sugar or carbs with protein I’m not talking about vegetables and protein I’m talking about sugar and protein that’s bad because that combination creates what’s called glycation and it gets you develop sticky blood and all sorts of protein and products that are very damaging to the tissue so it’s not bad for the heart because you’re lowering your carbohydrate and at my next keto Summit hopefully you can attend we have two cardiologists that have been in practice quite a while and they’re going to be speaking on this very topic so you might want to come to that all right number two low carbohydrate diets can starve the brain right because our brain needs carbohydrates or glucose it is true that the brain runs on glucose but it can also run on ketones okay which is the byproduct of fat when you have neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s those neurons are completely deprived of glucose and that’s why they’re dying but that’s coming from insulin resistance what causes insulin resistance chronic consumption of carbohydrates chronic elevation of insulin and what happens is you start to block the availability of insulin and starve the fuel for those neurons when you bypass the whole glucose thing and run your body and ketones your neurons thrive and when you add in a minute fasting which I always recommend you will get neurogenesis the regrowing of brain cells you’re actually brain grows back so low-carb diets do not starve the brain they feed the brain high carbohydrate diets starve the brain that’s the truth take a look at any diabetic who’s on high carbohydrates right they usually are very high risk for all sorts of neurological problems in neuro degeneration in the brain number three high-protein diets can cause bad breath and we’ll just add in their constipation right I heard that before well first of all the ketogenic diet is not a high-protein diet okay it’s a moderate protein diet and that protein in the ketogenic diet is very necessary because when you go low protein there’s all sorts of complications including a loss of muscle protein a lack of raw material for repair and neurotransmitter production so it’s not the protein that caused the bad breath the constipation it’s the excessive carbohydrates okay but again the ketogenic diet is not high protein it’s a moderate protein and before Keele acidosis is a dangerous side effect it is a dangerous side effect of diabetic type one and sometimes a diabetic type - who’s on insulin but if you’re doing nutritional ketosis you are actually bringing the person away from diabetes type two you’re preventing that you’re improving that you’re not going to get ketoacidosis by doing ketosis this is pathological and the other is very therapeutic especially - even cancer cells alright number five eating butter and bacon fat is not sustainable long term well actually a lot of people are gonna say it is sustainable long term because if you’re adding more fat you’re gonna stick to it long longer because you’re satisfied but you’re on a ketogenic diet you’re not just eating pure lard and fat and bacon grease you’re eating the whole food and you’re eating the fat with it some people in the beginning add more fat so they can go from one meal to the next one fasting but it’s not just a high-fat diet it’s a low carbohydrate diet which just so happens to have healthy fats in there and they’re very very healthy and we’re also talking about healthy butter like from grass-fed cows and we’re talking about organic bacon you don’t have to do make him I mean what’s really not sustainable and very unhealthy is all the vegetable oils like the corn oil and the soy oil that people are pushing on you it’s in all the dressings it’s in a lot of your food in fact 25% of the food that you eat in the grocery store is made from corn corn oil I for just corn syrup and definitely if you if we add in their soy it’s probably another 20% a tremendous amount of food is soy and corn especially in those oils and that is very unhealthy long term because it’s GMO and that’s glyphosate residue and it’s also badly processed so the saturated fats have been around for a very long time and they are really not the bad guy alright guys thanks for watching so if you’re enjoying this content go ahead and share it with someone that could really benefit from it
