hi guys in this video we’re going to talk about the seven keto myths and lies alright number one no long-term studies on keto okay yes there are long-term studies I put a link down below check it out I mean in the last 50 years we’ve been doing a long-term study or shall I say an experiment on the human population with the high amounts of carbohydrate refined carbohydrate and sugar and low fat and look look at where it’s goddess diabetes pre-diabetes metabolic syndrome we know that doesn’t work okay but keto is very very healthy if you do it healthily and you know what you’re doing number two it’s dangerous for your kidneys because it’s high in protein well first of all the ketogenic diet is not high in protein it’s a moderate amount of protein okay it’s exactly what you need you’re not doing massive quantities of protein it’s not the Atkins diet it’s not unlimited protein so that’s false alright number three adverse reactions you know you get bat-breath keto flu keitel rash your performance from exercise is not that great well you’re only going to have adverse reactions if you’re going into this with nutritional deficiency specifically potassium and B vitamin deficiencies okay it’s very easy to counter this just by taking a little bit more B vitamins from nutritional yeast and consuming enough vegetables to get your potassium and you will not have these reactions okay number four we need carbs no we don’t need carbs there’s no such thing as an essential carbohydrate our body is our brain our heart can easily run on ketones which by the way is a preferred fuel source now there are certain parts of the body certain parts of the brain the red blood cell and the eye that do need glucose however it’s a very small amount but that’s why our liver has the capacity to make glucose from protein or lipids it’s called gluconeogenesis we don’t need to take external carbs to give our body those that glucose we can easily make it if we need a little bit number five ketogenic diet will slow your metabolism now this is just a blatant lie it’s not true a high carbohydrate diet will slow your metabolism because it increases insulin and insulin not only it converts sugar to fat but it will block your ability to lose fat or use fat as fuel that’s number one and if you go in a little calorie diet that will slow your metabolism but a ketogenic diet is very healthy and it will speed up your metabolism in fact the clients that I have that have the worst metabolism finally lose weight with this program because we’re combining in a minute fasting and we’re dropping insulin making their metabolism a lot faster number six high fat SAR dangerous in the body another lie no there is no study that shows high fat diets are dangerous to the body but if you actually read the actual studies that link high fat diets to body problems you’re gonna find in the small print that the food that they fed the mice always had a higher amount of carbohydrates like 23 grams of liquid sugar with the high fat diets they don’t do just high fats low carb it’s always a high fat and high carbohydrate diet but fats are very very safe for the body if you don’t add the extra carbohydrate okay number seven it’s not sustainable yes it is sustainable it’s going to get rid of your cravings you’re not going to be as hungry you’re gonna have a lot more energy your moods going to be up and that’s what’s going to be very sustainable it’s gonna allow you to feel better and do this long-term so and a lot of other diets you’re going to lose weight apparently and then go back to your original eating habits not with a healthy keto plan it’s something you could do your whole life without any complications or side effects alright thanks for watching so I want to know what you’re interested in as far as a future video click the link down below and share some ideas I want to hear
