This video is one in a series of videos and websites which are being posted on FreeRepublic in the coming days in regard to nutritional health. In the beginning these videos were being posted as a rebuttal to an article and comments in another posted article on FreeRepublic remarking on obesity. Due to the strong interest in obesity and nutritional health as it relates to Type II Diabetes, the videos relating to Type II diabetes and how to reverse the progression of the disease are being moved forward among the other video topics in this series. Expect to see a mixture of videos regarding the role of carbohydrates in the diet and their relationship to nutritional health topics ranging from metabolic syndrome and Diabetes to dementia, Parkinson's Disease, Altzheimer's Disease, and more. The effects of standard government sponsored diets, health association diets, and alternative diets upon everyday nutrition, sports nutrition, and diabetic nutrition will be mixed in with videos focused on the use of various low carbohydrate and high fat (LCHF) diets, such as the ketogenic diets as a treatment for Type II Diabetes.
Anyone who is interested in following this series of posts about nutritional health is invited to request a ping.
The Nutritional Health Series includes the following FreeRepublic posts and links.

HOW TO FOOD SHOP ON THE KETOGENIC DIET
Hang on tight to your credit card as they go shopping for groceries in LaLa Land (Hollywood) for grass fed ground beef at more than $7.00 per pound.

I began with almond butter, high-fiber crispbreads, broccoli, tuna, egg whites, poultry, beef, whey, strawberries, red wine, and supplements. I kept my net carbs @ ~50 grams/day for a year.
I’m now about ~90 grams/day on net carbs, but I’ve been gaining weight because my calorie intake is too high.
The typical food store is unfortunately selling a tremendous amount of sugar in the center aisles.
Ping!
For years, I've been shopping the perimeter of the supermarkets. All the fresh foods are located there. I dart into the aisles only to get specific items like canned sardines or spices. Much healthier as a result and I get in and out of there quickly.
Good job! Ping me please and thanks for all the hard work. Been doing keto for 3 months and love it. I use Keto Diet app for Apple products. Absolutely delicious.
I remember a trainer advising me to stick with “northern fruits,” the berries, apples, pears, etc. of the northern hemisphere and avoid, if possible, the tropical fruits.
Babe Ruth did it all on hot dogs & beer
“Babe Ruth did it all on hot dogs & beer”
Beer guts exist because the carbohydrates in the beer cause the onset of metabolic syndrome and obesity when the beer is consumed as a significant percentage of daily calories along with other carbohydrates for a prolonged period of time. Diabetes may follow if fasting fails to break the cycle of elevated insulin levels in the blood serum.
That’s a joke, son, that’s a joke
Bump for later
Ping for later.
ooh, Trader Joe’s Organic Grass Fed hamburger. I love Trader Joe’s, but have a problem with their hamburger:

Dr. Stephen Phinney, in part one, says he eats 200g of fat per day. That’s almost half a pound. Do any of his videos how what and how much of it he eats to achieve that?
Some “good” fats here: sausage, bacon, eggs, butter, olive oil, avocados, salmon, beef, ham, nuts, seeds, heavy cream, yoghurt.
Looks kind of hard for me to stay below 100g of protein.
“Looks kind of hard for me to stay below 100g of protein.”
Breakfast
2-3 x eggs with cheese and/or sour cream
with
2-3 x bacon strips
or
3 x small sausage links
else
quiche without crust
Lunch
1 cup x Chef salad with cheese and/or minimal strips of meat or poultry, bleu cheese salad dressing
Dinner
1/4 to 1/3 lb. meat, fish, or poultry entre
and
1 cup low carbohydrate vegetables dressed with butter, sour cream, cream dressing
and
1 cup green leafy lettuce salad with low carbohydrate oil or creamy salad dressing
Mmm, looks yummy.
200g of fat in there too?
“200g of fat in there too?”
It varies, of course, but it tends to come out around 172-186 grams fat, 63-78 grams protein, and 17-21 grams carbohydrates per day. Keeping the protein under 75 grams and the carbohydrates under 20 grams per day can be challenging. A more liberal diet of 50 grams of carbohydrates per day is much easier when the more restrictive limits are no longer necessary.
The first time I heard about this diet was on a TV program about siezures. Children had uncontrollable siezures and were getting brain damage from them. Some parents found a 50 yr. old prescription from a nurse for a ketogenic diet cure. With nothing to lose they tried it and it worked. Other people tried the diet for other ills and it worked for them.
It’s not a miracle, the subsequent research has backed this up. The research comes from many fields. It all adds up to most humans being intolerant of carbohydrates to varying degrees.
My family are all diabetics. None of us are over-weight. We have an extremely low tolerance of carbs.
I tried the diet and after a year had these results:
1) I didn’t lose weight (people who are under weight might actually gain)
2) resting blood sugar went to normal
3) blood pressure went to 120/70
4) skin tags and discolorations disappeared
5) occasional heart pounding disappeared
6) Rhumatoid arthritis stopped progressing
7) joints became stronger and no longer ached,
I could get off the floor without help!
After 5 years I can say It’s a hard diet for me to maintain,
I’ve fallen off the wagon a couple times and have needed to start again.
I understand that there are some people that really need these
kinds of diets. But there are people that really don’t. For
example, I can loose weight simply by not eating as much of
what I normally eat which is pretty much anything I want.
I sure am glad I have normal digestive flora. It’s sure is
cheaper.
I wonder if eating egg yolks (like 5) with one whole egg would help? You’re eliminating half the protein and keeping all of the fat.
So there’s about 4.5g fat in a yolk and 2.5g protein. In the white, there’s almost no fat and 3.5g protein.
so 5 yolks would be 22.5g fat and 12.5g protein. Plus the whole egg is another 5g protein. Cook it in butter and you’ve got another 11.5g fat. Add some heavy whipping cream to the mix (2 TBSP = 12g fat and .3 protein).
So, if my math is right, that’s about 46g fat and about 20g protein. (I added 2g to account for the slight bit in the yolk and the cream)
With spices and veggies, that’s breakfast.
