hi this is Anita from The Reluctant low
0:08
carb life today we're going to talk
0:11
about the keto or low carb diet and
0:13
exercise and the question a lot of
0:15
people ask they say can I be on the keto
0:17
diet without exercising do I have to
0:19
exercise on the diet and I think part of
0:21
it like we maybe think this way
0:23
especially many of us Americans think
0:25
this way because we're so used to this
0:27
being told all you have to do is
0:29
exercise and if you exercise you can eat
0:32
whatever you want to eat and I know when
0:34
I was in college and I was much younger
0:36
and my body could take a lot more abuse
0:38
and I was running 14 miles a day I was a
0:40
runner and I was a longdistance runner
0:43
and I could eat whatever I wanted to eat
0:44
and I wouldn't gain weight but as I've
0:46
gotten older that does not happen
0:48
anymore so in other words that's why a
0:50
lot of people ask questions like do you
0:52
have to exercise on the keto diet if you
0:56
abide by the strict rules of the keto
0:58
diet theoretically you could lose weight
1:00
on the keto diet without exercising that
1:03
is because we know that exercise alone
1:05
will not help you lose weight in fact if
1:08
you're looking for an equation about
1:10
eating versus exercise losing weight is
1:14
90% food 10% exercise and that's really
1:18
the opposite a lot of people think about
1:20
they think well look you know if I just
1:22
become like a fanatic exerciser then I
1:24
can eat whatever I want to eat yes to
1:26
some degree you can but at the same time
1:28
if you're really such a fanatic exercise
1:31
or such a high if you're exercising so
1:33
much then you know you really do need to
1:36
be eating right too to be able to do all
1:37
the exercise that you need to do so you
1:40
can lose weight on the keto diet and on
1:43
the low carb diet without exercising but
1:47
you should look to exercise because
1:49
there's a lot of benefits for exercise
1:51
which don't have anything to do with the
1:52
diet or losing weight one of them is
1:54
stress relief or you just feel better
1:57
you know years ago when I was in college
1:59
and I was under a huge amount of stress
2:01
I was doing my master's program and I
2:04
ended up with what was diagnosed as
2:07
chronic stress and I remember at the
2:09
time the doctor put me on some volum and
2:12
you know said here and then it was
2:14
probably about a year or two later after
2:16
that I was started my first job again
2:18
was under a lot of stress and the doctor
2:20
wanted to put me under valume and I just
2:22
said you know I don't want to spend my
2:24
life on on medications so I've really
2:27
made exercise a part of my life because
2:29
I find that when I exercise it helps me
2:32
to keep my stress intact and so you know
2:36
this may not be for everybody maybe some
2:38
people they need to have some medication
2:39
but I have found for me that I can live
2:43
my life without medication by exercising
2:47
and that the exercise can help me to
2:50
keep my stress levels at where they need
2:53
to be so the second thing is that
2:56
exercise also helps with mental health
2:58
there's just something about you go out
3:00
you go walking you go out you see nature
3:03
that you feel good about it and it just
3:05
really helps your mental health you
3:06
sleep better you have less anxiety you
3:09
you just feel better when you're able to
3:12
exercise it improves your muscle
3:14
strength and balance that you know
3:16
exercise can really help your muscle
3:18
strength it can help your balance it can
3:20
just you know help you to be able to
3:21
move more through exercise it can keep
3:24
you flexible and strong especially when
3:26
you do something like uh yoga you know
3:29
they it can help you be able to feel um
3:31
to keep your flexibility exercise can
3:33
improve your sleep that you can just
3:36
sleep better when you exercise you know
3:40
I find out that when I exercise it
3:41
really helps me to regulate my sleep and
3:43
I just feel better it helps you age
3:46
better they find that those people that
3:48
exercise age better than those who do
3:51
not and exercise is really good for your
3:54
overall health so you know there's so
3:57
many reasons why you know exercise is
4:00
good for you that you know that yes you
4:03
can lose weight without it but at the
4:04
same time you are going to be a
4:06
healthier person with exercise than
4:09
without it and that's why exercise is
4:12
important it's not a matter of just
4:13
whether you're going to lose weight on
4:14
it yes it will help you to lose weight
4:16
but at the same time there's so many
4:19
other benefits that the exercise will
4:20
give to you that you would not get any
4:22
other way and that's why we are a great
4:25
believer in that you should use exercise
4:29
even on the keto and low carb diet and
4:33
lifestyle we have written a Blog about
4:35
