so so happy we had a chance to connect up because i just got an email about what you’re doing and i was like wow this is amazing i have to meet you and see what you’re up to so you’re actually one of one of my keto coaches right yes yes of course it’s my pleasure and this is my uh this is my certificate wow that’s great and so you are located in a couple places right i think in the middle east uh two different i think two different countries right i am located in jordan okay yes okay wow and you have quite a large youtube channel you’re helping so many people wow yes i have a youtube channel that is uh any all all the topics that that in it include it’s focused on low carbohydrate dates life style it’s samara’s keto life that is so amazing and i see there’s a really cool book behind you i see that i like that it’s called the um keto and i can see that actually yeah the body type okay the type that’s great looks very familiar so so ted tell me a little bit about how you found out about uh keto and my program and just in general did you have any you had health problems or any other issues or at first and most of the people will will will have some problems including insulin resistance in their life they are eating carbohydrates i’ve begun keto five years from now at that time i was a structural engineer and the trainer in the jordanian [Music] training center for engineers and i’ve begin with the stress of life begin to gain weight especially in the central obesity so and i begin to search about diets and trying to lower my correct intake in order to lose that excess weight and even though i was a cyclist and i jogging i ha i practice jogging and running it doesn’t help me to lose that weight uh accidentally at that that period of time i’ve stood and i’ve saw a strange topic in the youtube if you want to lose weight if you want to lose fat eat fat a strange topic at that time five years ago in the middle east there’s no one know about the ketogenic diet it was in the united states booming in the united states but not in the middle east so [Music] i’ve listened to the video watched the video from the end from the beginning to the end after i finished it i decided to begin with the ketogenic diet the day after it wow so immediately it clicked my mind so i began with the keto flu issue the constipation by changing the fiber and the meals so i begin to search on youtube and end up with uh what is keto where what’s accepted and what is not and of course and i’ve watched your videos and began they become addicted to your videos wow that’s awesome thank you fine thanks so so you basically um you had this stomach area and you just you search it out and being an engineer you probably want to know all about the details you want to know why it works and it just makes sense to you because you think you think logically cause and effect unlike the medical profession sometimes they don’t really think like an engineer ah of course any when i was in engineering schools whatever in engineering school whatever we we have learned we begin by learning the cause what is the the the derivation of the equation how does the equation ends and after we know the the the experimentation the explanation and the derivation we begin with the with the science in medical is too cool in nutrition because i i’ve quit my job at the end and studied nutrition there’s no when you are studying the the literature you are not studying the the the roots of the literature you are all what you are studying at the end is the recommendation for the rda or the recommendation for the experts so in with the topic of cholesterol we’ve studied all from the first year in nutrition to the final to the end cholesterol is bad low saturated fats where’s the clue where’s the research we have not we have never been exploded studied the research even the the ketone bodies and how how does it work we’ve never studied and the doctors who never any opened this topic in a good way while it is in the literature in in the textbook you can study the the ketogenic in the biochemistry it’s in the the book but it is not in the syllabus you’re right you’re right totally it’s not there and so um you give someone who doesn’t understand these basic words these basic principles and it doesn’t make sense to them but when they think keto they think um keto acidosis diabetes that’s as far as it goes now it’s dangerous stay away from it because the word is similar but but so it’s like you really have to understand the uh like you said the basics and the root uh uh that’s why i have um lots of dictionaries because when you go into this medical literature you there’s probably going to be about at least 20 words per paragraph you have to look them up uh especially when you get into um the biochemistry and if you try to study that without doing that you’re you’re basically going to be fully asleep by the time you get through with it um because some of these words are just like so long and so um when we get into so what i do is i try to simplify i try to you know take these complex try to make it as simple as possible and i my favorite dictionary actually is a chinese dictionary chinese to english dictionary because um the definitions are really simple um because some of the other definitions other other dictionaries i have you know you end up seeing all these words that i don’t even know what they mean in the definition so i have to look those up and it takes me forever so i’m really um uh into using dictionaries and really understanding the full meaning of what the subject is talking about and every little part of it so yeah and i see you have a skeleton right next to you uh this one i i bought when i began to to study a personal trainer for for sports so i began to study the bones and the muscles in order to understand great so great and so um you have um i’m gonna put your youtube channel below the link down below so people can sign up um but you know what’s fascinating in the middle east which uh that’s actually the majority it’s even more than my english channel the um arabic language the northern africa the whole middle east there’s a huge interest in the quito and i i’m assuming it’s because they eat more sugar than any other country in the world or more and that as far as the area goes i think it’s it’s it’s way more than america and i when i was when i looked at that i’m like there’s a lot of sweet things that you guys eat over there oh there’s a lot of in something of the that which is difficult in the middle east that the culture and the the type of food that we eat it’s so delicious delicious by design it’s it’s it it causes you to to eat more even and if you if you see a tourist who is coming from united states and he is doing keto he cannot continue he will cheat in the middle east yeah you have all that dessert that is and that is becoming after immediately after lunch or dinner uh bombed with sugars and in the middle east older at least the main food that we eat is rice and even sometimes rice with bread in in in jordan we have a meal that is mansur it’s it’s a bread after on it is a lot of rice with a lot of meat so the insulin will will dry rise to the rocket like a rocket i’m sure that uh you may even need a nap after lunch if you do that of course of course and it’s it’s it’s it’s difficult to have an app after a big million and uh i mean a lot of people has a insulin resistance you can see it everywhere so uh and your your channel is very popular in the middle east it’s one it’s the bit the number one uh channel that that is uh watched in the middle east it’s your your channel wow wow that’s good because you know what i think it’s going to help a lot of people there and there it looks like they’re interested and they’ll change their diet and i think um be healthier for it
