Welcome to the Dr. Berg's Healthy Keto and Interminate Fasting Podcast, where Dr.

Berg takes you on the journey for the truth about getting healthy and losing healthy weight.

You know, I've done a lot of videos on keto and what you should be eating and what you

shouldn't be eating.

But apparently I'm mis-talking about coconut milk and coconut water. Are they okay?

A ketogenic diet. All right, let's first go to coconut milk. Now, if you look on the back

of the label on coconut milk out of a can, there's higher amounts of fat, 58 grams of fat,

13 grams of carbs, 5 grams of fiber giving you a net carb of 8 grams. Now, you also have a large

amount of potassium. If 631 milligrams of potassium and just one cup, not the entire can,

one cup that's 8 ounces of coconut milk. But then we have other sources of coconut milk. For

example, the company Silk has a coconut milk. Four grams of fat because they extract some fat

and they add some water because apparently they dilute some of the coconut milk with water and

it's less fat. So it's four grams of fat, but only one gram of carbs. So that's very keto-friendly.

And you have 310 milligrams of potassium. So depending on what type of coconut milk you get,

it's going to be more or less keto-friendly. But if you're only dealing with 8 grams of carbs,

that's not too bad. You just want to make sure that your carbs are less than 30, maybe even 20,

to really get into ketosis. So coconut milk, totally fine. And I like to use coconut milk with

various recipes and various lattes or even in my coffee. Now, let's switch to coconut water.

This has a bit more carb. It has 11 grams of carb per cup. And of course, because it's a water,

it doesn't have much fat. It's like a half a gram of fat. But it has a lot of potassium. It has

600 milligrams of potassium. And it has a good amount of sodium, which is 282 milligrams of sodium.

So the potassium sodium ratios are pretty good. A lot of people consume coconut water for
