Summary
If you’re following a ketogenic diet, you already know that carbs and sugar are bad for you.
But you may not have realized that vegetable oils are just as detrimental to your health and should be eliminated right away too.
And if you’re unknowingly consuming these, it could be why you’re struggling to reach your goals on keto.
Fortunately, this podcast episode with board certified family medicine physician and author of Deep Nutrition, Dr. Cate Shanahan, can help.
In it, we’ll share why vegetable oils are so bad for you, the exact ones to eliminate, and why we’ve had this wrong for so long.
Dr. Shanahan also dives into a study that’s been overly and incorrectly used showing how a ketogenic diet causes weight gain and fatty liver.
On top of that, we also discuss keto on athletic performance and Dr. Shanahan gives her best tips for how many carbs athletes should consume on keto.
This is one episode you don’t want to miss.
Tune in now to see what we mean.
