Now, there are several really interesting facts about sugar that you probably never heard

0:04.3

about before, and so I want to dive right in and explain these to you.

0:07.3

Now, the maker-break amount of carbohydrate to get an acutosis is roughly around 50 grams per

0:15.7

carb per day. Now, that's a rough estimate. It could be a little bit more. It could be a

0:19.4

little bit less, depending on your metabolism. But what does this mean 50 grams of carbohydrate?

0:24.1

Is it 50 grams of sugar? Is it 50 grams of net carbs, which is basically the total carbs minus

0:31.2

fiber, or is it just 50 grams of total carbohydrates? It's a bit confusing for people.

0:36.8

So, from my viewpoint, it should be 50 grams of net carbs, so you'd minus the fiber.

0:43.6

But there's a huge difference between consuming 50 grams of sugar, okay,

0:49.3

or just 50 grams of net carbs in general. But of course, you might have this question like if it's

0:55.2

not sugar, and it's not fiber, what type of carb is it? And the answer for that is a starch.

1:02.6

And a starch is just a series of sugar molecules connected together. But if we look at 50 grams

1:09.4

of carbohydrates from sugar, that would be equivalent to a 12 ounce soda, specifically the orange

1:18.2

soda. That has roughly about 49 to 50 grams of pure sugar, right? That's the carbohydrate that's

1:24.8

in that. Now, if we compare that to 50 grams of net carbs from vegetables like salad carbohydrates,

1:33.1

it's a little bit more than 12 ounces. It's actually 42 cups of salad, which is 3,125 grams.

1:42.4

So, when you're going to Enquido, when someone says 50 grams of carbs, and you're going to get this

1:47.2

from orange soda, it's going to go in there very, very fast and spike your blood sugars.

1:52.2

And it's going to definitely create a dent into your ability to get results versus if you have

1:57.3

this other thing, which has so much fiber, it goes into your body very slowly breaks down.

2:04.5

You're going to get Enquido's is much better. So, it's not just 50 grams of net carbs. It is the

2:10.8

quality of carb. And this is why I don't even recommend counting vegetables as your carb,
