so recently I had a comment Quito is too extreme okay I can’t do it because it’s too extreme let’s talk about that that really comes from two different concepts one is you know everything in moderation you know keep everything moderate not too much this way not too much the other way or how about this one there’s no such thing as the bad or good food they’re just molecules just keep your calories balanced right it’s all a matter about balance your calories blah blah blah well if we take a look at keto we have moderate protein we have higher fats which people are not gonna have a problem with consuming more fats they have a problem with lowering their carbs to 20 to 50 grams per day so that’s what certain people consider extreme one it’s really only extreme if you’re comparing it to the standard American diet which has about 350 grams of carbohydrates per day okay this is our new normal but this is extreme take a look at just the amount of sugar that our society consumes this is like a hundred and twenty pounds 100 pounds roughly in the 80s the 90s and and really recently this spike of sugar content is just gone way up so keno only sounds extreme if you don’t understand dietary sugar and blood sugars so when you get your blood glucose tested you want it to be right around 80 milligrams per deciliter that’s really only one teaspoon of sugar and your entire blood the average person consumes a lot more than that like 28 to 31 teaspoons that’s extreme okay so you really have to understand what what normal is to see what extreme is what I think is extreme is the four billion prescriptions that are given out on a yearly basis in the US healthcare being three point four trillion dollars per year okay one trillion is a thousand billion it’s a lot of money I think that’s extreme or how about this sixty percent of the u. s. population is either pre-diabetic or diabetic that’s extreme so is keynote Stream absolutely not it’s normal it’s reasonable it gets people healthy so I put a link down below exactly how to do it check it out hey so if you haven’t done so please press subscribe now that way you can be aware of all the new content that I’m putting out on a regular basis
