| 0:00.0 | So, today we're going to talk about some really, really stupid advice, okay? |
| 0:24.8 | It's eating everything in moderation, I'm not sure who came up with it, but the definition |
| 0:29.2 | moderation is you're avoiding extremes, you're consuming a reasonable amount of something, |
| 0:35.3 | something that's kind of rational, something that's more balanced, and of course a lot of people |
| 0:39.8 | will say that keto is unbalanced, it's too extreme to lower these carbohydrates, and of course |
| 0:46.8 | there is no bad food group, it's about just eating everything in moderation. So, let's go through |
| 0:52.8 | the reasons why this is a really stupid idea. The first thing is that low carbs really are |
| 0:59.0 | not low carb, unless you compare them to whatever one else is doing. The average person consumes |
| 1:05.4 | at least 65% of the calories being carbs, and of course if you compare the keto to that, |
| 1:11.2 | which is 5% of your calories being carbs, yeah, that would be extreme, that would be considered |
| 1:16.3 | a low carb, but even when we talk about moderation, it's so subjective, is it 50%, or is it 70%, |
| 1:25.2 | is it 80%, what is a moderate amount of carbohydrate? If we compare normal blood sugar, |
| 1:34.1 | okay, this is a good reference, what is normal blood sugar? Well, I'd say about 80 milligrams |
| 1:39.4 | per deciliter, that would be considered normal, right? Now, there's a little range, a little higher, |
| 1:44.3 | a little lower, but I would say 80 would be a good average. Now, how much sugar does that mean |
| 1:49.6 | in your blood, all of your blood? Well, if you take 80 milligrams per deciliter, that really only |
| 1:55.2 | comes out to one teaspoon of sugar. One teaspoon of sugar, that is only 4.2 grams of carbohydrate, |
| 2:04.1 | okay, that's pretty darn low, because in ketel, we're allowed up to 50 grams of carbohydrate, |
| 2:10.8 | it almost sounds like keto is kind of high carbs if you compare it to your blood sugars, |
| 2:15.7 | and then we have insulin resistance. Now, a much more scientific name for that would be |
| 2:20.9 | carbohydrate intolerance. If you were lactose intolerant, right, or glucose intolerant, |
| 2:29.2 | would it be okay to consume milk sugar or gluten in moderation? If you had an allergy to something, |
