| 0:00.0 | Let's talk about the nine most common low-carb myths, okay? You hear this all the time and |
| 0:27.6 | I just want to cover each one of them. The first one is that low-carb diets are a fad, okay? Now, |
| 0:34.2 | if fad is some intense and wildly shared enthusiasm for something that is short-lived, so the |
| 0:39.9 | question is why would it be short-lived? If you're benefiting on a low-carb diet, you're going to |
| 0:45.5 | stick with it. Why would you stop it? And why is it so bad to be enthusiastic about something that |
| 0:51.5 | works? Yes, there are a lot of people that are intensely enthusiastic about keto and low-carb diets |
| 0:58.7 | and imminent fasting because they feel so much better. So the low-carb diets are absolutely, |
| 1:03.1 | positively not a fad. Some people would want you to believe that, but it's absolutely growing and |
| 1:09.1 | growing, growing. It's not going to be short-lived simply because it works. Next one, it's okay for |
| 1:15.9 | weight loss, but not for long-term health. Now, this is completely ridiculous. Why would something |

| 1:38.3 | where they have low-quality ingredients and they have all these different side effects like |
| 1:41.4 | kidney stones and gauld and high cholesterol and bad breath. Well, we're not recommending that |
| 1:47.9 | version. We are recommending the healthy low-carb or keto version of the ketogenic diet. |
| 1:53.9 | All right, next one. Number three, all that fat is going to make you get a heart attack. |
| 1:59.1 | Absolutely, positively not true. First of all, I never met anyone that is consuming all the |
| 2:06.7 | baking grease from the bacon. They frat the bacon and they toss out the grease and they leave the |
| 2:13.3 | crispy bacon. Most people don't eat a lot of butter on one sitting. Now, what's interesting |
| 2:19.9 | about butter is I used to crave butter as a child. I didn't know that I needed a lot of butter for |
| 2:25.4 | the vitamin K2 and I was very, very deficient. In fact, I remember wanting to consume a whole pound |
| 2:32.6 | of butter, so my parents wouldn't do that because they at the time had this idea that fat was bad, |
