How do you lose weight when nothing seems to work
0:04
There's only two things that I've found actually work for me. And trust me, if they work for me, they will work for you
0:12
You know, I used to be able to lose weight. I used to be able to go on a diet, exercise, starve myself, whatever needed to be done
0:21
I could lose weight. But now that I'm in my 50s and I'm in a puzzle and I have a thyroid problem, I am not even
0:29
exaggerating when I say I look at food and I gain weight
0:35
But I have found a way and I'm going to share it with you today
0:40
It's keto. It's keto guys, it works. Now before you click off saying, oh no, I can't do keto, that's bad for you, or it's
0:50
too restrictive, I can't do it. Wait, hear me out, because that's what I thought too
0:57
And you know what? It's really easy and I'm already losing weight and I'm excited and I really want to share
1:04
this with you so you can have the same results. Now if you're a vegetarian or if you really just don't like meat or eggs or cheese or
1:13
nuts, this is probably not the right diet for you. You could probably just click out
1:20
But if you're okay with those things and you've tried everything else and nothing's working
1:26
this is your ticket to success. As far as that, oh, it's not good for you, it's bad for your heart, no
1:35
That has all been disproven over and over again. Now back when keto was brand new, it was kind of considered like a fad diet and nobody really
1:45
understood it or had any clue what the benefits or the negative impacts would be on a long-term basis
1:53
Now we have that information. We have all the information that we need to make logical conclusions about whether or
2:00
not it's bad for you, whether or not it's good for you. We all know it works
2:05
We all know it works. You've seen stories, I'm sure you have, about people losing 100 pounds on keto
2:11
And doctors today fully support keto. Yeah, there might be outliers here and there, but for the most part, all the doctors that
2:19
I know and that I work with, they all advocate for keto
2:23
It does so many good things for you. It's really, really good for you
2:27
And it's not bad for your heart, it's actually good for your heart. But don't take it from me
2:32
I have some information that I'm going to share with you from the National Institute
2:36
of Health. And trust me, as a nurse, I can tell you, the National Institute of Health, they are trustworthy
2:44
You can trust their information. They did multiple randomized studies about keto and the impacts and effects of the keto diet
2:53
And I'm going to share a chart with you from those studies, because it's truly impressive
2:59
So don't take it from me, take it from them, because they are trustworthy
3:05
This chart is a result of multiple studies done by the National Institute of Health
3:11
And it outlines the potential benefits of the ketogenic diet. And as you can see at the very top, cancer
3:19
The ketogenic diet literally benefits cancer, reduces insulin cell proliferation signals, reduces blood glucose levels and fuel availability, increases susceptibility to chemotherapy and
3:33
radiation while protecting normal cells. That one right there, you guys, is huge. Diabetes
3:40
It reduces HbA1c levels, reduces insulin requirements, and can reverse insulin resistance
3:49
And just so you know, you can have insulin resistance and not be a diabetic
3:54
And if you have insulin resistance, you're not going to lose weight
4:00
And then weight loss. Ketogenic diet reduces appetite, reduces visceral fat, and reduces body weight while maintaining
4:09
lean mass and resting metabolic rate. Cardiovascular disease. This diet can actually lower triglycerides, increase HDL, and lower SDLDL
4:24
It also lowers your APOB and APO1 ratio. Back when keto first came out, I think a lot of people were afraid that it would be bad
4:33
for their heart. I was. I was afraid to do it because I have a lot of heart disease in my family
4:39
And I thought the last thing I need to do is to eat a high fat diet that's going to
4:45
cause my arteries to clog up. I was nervous about it. I didn't want to do it
4:50
In fact, I did it once and I did it for a very short time and I quit because I was afraid
4:55
it was going to raise my numbers and it was going to be bad for me. Well, I'm here to tell you that's not true
5:02
It has been disproven. It has been advocated for by multiple doctors
5:07
Now you can find doctors online, even on just YouTube, that support and advocate for the
5:13
ketogenic diet because it is now proven to be a healthy alternative
5:19
And not just to lose weight, lifestyle. But you know, it's really hard to maintain a ketogenic diet
5:26
It's very restrictive. You have to give up all the sweets. So, you know, can you do a strict ketogenic diet on a long term basis
5:34
Probably not. But you can do it long enough to lose the weight you want to lose and then you can modify
5:39
your diet for long term. You can still have carbs once in a while
5:44
You just need to do it smart and in moderation. So I started my keto diet journey a little less than a week ago and I'm already losing weight
5:56
And it's just amazing to me because I can literally stand looking at the mirror, looking
6:01
at my stomach in the mirror and I'm amazed. I can literally see it
6:06
Not just on the scale, but I can see it looking at my own body
6:10
That's how fast this works. It's crazy. Because like I told you before, nothing works for me
6:15
So this is awesome. And it really has not been all that difficult
6:21
My diet has not been all that varied, I'm going to be honest with you
6:24
I've been sort of eating a lot of eggs and bacon, but I love eggs and bacon and I can
6:30
eat that every day and never get tired of it. So I have that going for me
6:36
But also I've been eating a lot of salads with chicken on it and olive oil, extra virgin
6:42
olive oil. And I've been making a protein shake every day with coconut milk and my protein powder
6:50
that's very low carb and adding a tablespoon of MCT oil to that
6:57
And I feel like this is working for me. I'm kind of being repetitive with what I'm eating, but I'm learning
7:03
And follow along with me and I'll share with you every week how I'm doing, how much weight
7:10
I'm losing, and how I'm feeling. More importantly, how I'm feeling. Because the main reason that I'm doing this is to decrease inflammation
7:19
Because unfortunately I have a couple different autoimmune diseases that cause a lot of inflammation
7:24
and it causes me a lot of problems in my life that I'm trying to get rid of
7:30
So follow along, hopefully it's going to help me and I'm hoping that through all of that
7:36
maybe I can help you too. Like with anything else, you have to be motivated
7:41
You have to want something enough to make it happen. You can do it
7:46
You can be successful at the keto diet or anything else in your life if you really want
7:52
to do it bad enough. So if you're serious and you want to lose some weight, you want to decrease inflammation
7:57
you want to lower your risk of heart disease, cancer, diabetes, all of these things, then
8:02
this is the diet for you. And after you reach your weight loss goal, you can modify the keto diet and make it a
8:10
lifestyle and keep the weight off. Like any diet, if you go off the diet and go back to all your old bad habits, you're
8:19
going to gain the weight back. In America, all of our food that you buy in the middle of the grocery store, all the packaged
8:29
foods, look at the ingredient list. You'll be surprised how many things have sugar in it that you wouldn't have expected
8:38
And if it doesn't say sugar, it'll say some other form of sugar like maltodextrin, which
8:43
is really bad for you. And so you just, you really need to start reading labels and paying attention if you
8:52
want this to be a consistent change in your eating habits and your health and your weight
8:59
Once you start paying attention to how much sugar is in everything, you're probably not
9:04
going to want to eat it. You'll probably just put it back on the shelf because after a little while of doing this
9:09
you get to the point where first of all, you don't crave sugar anymore
9:13
And secondly, it kind of disgusts you. You know, it's just ridiculous how processed all the foods are in America and how bad they
9:20
are for us. And that's like a lot of what everyone eats
9:25
And this is a big reason why we have a health crisis and an obesity crisis in the States
9:32
You know, it's just so much ultra processed crap in our diet
9:38
So you know, you can go on keto, lose the weight, and then come off the really strict
9:44
keto onto a more maintenance type of diet where you just really lower your carbs and
9:50
at the same time get rid of a lot of that ultra processed crap
9:55
If you can just do that, you will keep the weight off
