let’s talk about the nine most common low carb myths okay you hear this all the time and i just want to cover each one of them the first one is that low carb diets are a fad okay now a fad is some intense and widely shared enthusiasm for something that is short-lived so the question is why would it be short-lived if you’re benefiting on a low-carb diet you’re going to stick with it why would you stop it and why is it so bad to be enthusiastic about something that works yes there are a lot of people that are intensely enthusiastic about keto and low carb diets and imminent fasting because they feel so much better so the low carb diets are absolutely positively not a fad some people would want you to believe that but it’s absolutely growing and growing growing it’s not going to be short-lived simply because it works next one it’s okay for weight loss but not for long-term health now this is completely ridiculous why would something work short term and not work in the long run now the argument that certain people will use is that they’ll take the evidence of or the studies of traditional or classical keto for epilepsy where they have low quality ingredients you have all these different side effects like kidney stones and gout and high cholesterol and bad breath well we’re not recommending that version we are recommending the healthy low carb or keto version of the ketogenic diet all right next one number three all that fat is going to make you get a heart attack absolutely positively not true first of all um i never met anyone that is consuming all the bacon grease from the bacon they fry up the bacon and they toss out the grease and they leave the crispy bacon okay most people don’t eat a lot of butter okay on one sitting now what’s interesting about butter is i used to crave butter as a child i didn’t know that i needed a lot of butter for the vitamin k2 and i was very very deficient in fact i remember wanting to consume a whole pound of butter so my parents wouldn’t do that because they at the time had this idea that fat was bad but if you crave butter you probably need something in the butter but the point is that we’re recommending healthy fats fats that normally come with protein and no fat is not unhealthy especially if you’re not adding the carbohydrates to the fat so when you add the carbohydrates to the fat that becomes a problem but we’re doing low carbohydrates okay all right number four it’s not sustainable this is hilarious low carb diets get rid of your cravings low carb diets make you so you’re not hungry anymore guess what that’s very sustainable when you start adding in the carbs and the frequent eating and even a low calorie diet that’s not sustainable but keto and low carb is very sustainable number five it’s not healthy to omit a food group well first of all that is completely made up by the food manufacturing companies that sell certain foods that really shouldn’t be in our diet in the first place there’s no such thing as essential sugar okay or essential refined carbohydrates so it’s extremely healthy to omit certain food groups all right number six you don’t want to cut your carbs because you’re going to be cutting down your vegetables well whoever said that doesn’t understand that we don’t count vegetables in our equation we want you to consume lots of vegetables as in seven to ten cups per day so that’s what we want and we’re not cutting down on vegetables and you can also have some berries number seven your brain needs carbs if you don’t have carbs you’re going to be tired now whoever’s telling you that is a compl you know what i’m not going to go there your brain can very easily run on ketones it loves ketones the carbohydrates are the things that destroy the brain and cause alzheimer’s okay when you reduce carbs your bo your body automatically starts making ketones and your brain thrives on ketones you’ll have better mental endurance it helps your cognitive function if there’s damage in the brain ketones will bypass that mechanism and feed the brain cells directly i’m really talking about those people who are telling you that your brain needs carbs they have usually have brain damage because they’ve been consuming too many carbohydrates a low carb diet is not good for a diabetic because the rationale is you’re going to end up with low blood sugar hypoglycemia that is complete and utter insanity think about what diabetes is it’s a condition of high sugar right so we’re trying to lower it guess what’s going to happen when you go into low carb your blood sugar is going to come down it’s going to decrease the need for medication okay you work with your doctor you take less medication guess what now less medication your blood sugar goes normal okay it’s not going to go hypo it’s gonna go normal and you’re gonna feel much better and number nine a low carb diet is really a high protein diet and that’s damaging for the kidneys again absolutely not true a low carb diet as in healthy keto is moderate amount of protein three to six ounces maybe a little bit more but it’s not unlimited protein all right there you have it the nine low-carb myths and now i want you to check out the myths of intermittent fasting it’s right on this page right here
