Generally, our anatomies are carbohydrate burning powerhouses, day using glycogen kept in the liver and muscles to fuel our.
But, whenever we deplete our carbs so low our anatomies are forced to get rid of fat for fuel. This does cause our brain to get into starvation mode in the lack of sugar, and it depends on the liver to derive the energy it requires to operate directly from fat. Predicated on a diet that’s lower in carbohydrates and saturated in proteins and fats, it had been introduced in as the Atkins diet first. While there are plenty of advantages of a keto diet for a few, there may be risks, too. The keto diet is normally recommended for children with seizures who usually do not respond to medication and could offer better blood sugar control for folks with type 2 diabetes.
However, most are using this keto diet to induce weight loss, nonetheless it can boost concern among physicians because of the risks of suprisingly low macronutrient intake. My recommendation? Find food choices which will be sustainable since the best diet for you personally may be the one you will stick to.
Find a selection of different foods that are nutrient remember and dense, every food could be incorporated into a nutritious diet in moderation! Question: My workout routine has become boring if you ask me. I used to get excited about the gym but it appears like more of a chore recently. How do i again light that fire? Answer: Finding physical exercise that works for you personally can be an incredible feeling. Nothing beats being motivated to lace up your sneakers and move on to work.
Listen to your preferred tunes. Nothing makes me more motivated than compiling a playlist of new songs which will pump me up! Shake up your schedule. There is something fun about visiting the gym at a different period to combine things up. Try mornings one week rather than evenings or rather than Monday and Wednesday workouts, switch to Thursday and Saturday… your gym time should complement your daily life, so play around a little and see what works!
Surround yourself with inspiration. Stash motivational quotes in places you commonly look – your bathrooms mirror, the planner you retain your schedule in, your desk at the job, etc.
Keep something right before you that may remind you of your targets. And lastly, #5 5: treat your workout just like a gift. About the writer: Jayme may be the club manager whenever Fitness in Brandon.

@Sincopare
fully agree…………. I also feel a great sense of well being………. and physically stronger.
Love the KetoCalm 💜
Keto is fixing many of my health problems. Migraines gone!
Its not the same as Atkins – atkins has a lower fat:protein ratio. In other words there is more protein in the Atkins diet, so it wouldnt produce ketosis in the same way.
Or at all, probably.
@TerraRyzer LOL
This diet is good for everyone! There may be some who dont want to eat a low carb diet and thats their right. But the ketogenic diet is a healthy lifestyle and the benefits are undeniable.
There are only to fuels for the body, glucose or fats (ketones), but the brain (mostly fat) will always prefer ketones. Someone switching from glucose to burning fats as fuel will fix alot of problems, not only brain related like autism, epilepsy, dementia, Parkinson, but also metabolic issues (metabolic syndrome), insulin resistance (which is a major underpinning link…), obesity, diabetes, even cancer (carbs are sugars so a sugar free diet like keto will starve the cancer cells)
Anyone who is intermittently fasting, or is fasting or is on a low carb ketogenic diet will switch to fats for fuel, a state called ketosis, like babies in the womb or when they are breast feed only. Ketosis is very beneficial to ones health and is now a lifestyle for many of us. Ive been on keto since 2017 and Im never going back to cabosis, the glucose dependency land with its sugar rush and its downs ever again. Thou still eating plenty of veggies but mostly animal foods, real foods, nothing of the starchy carbs… no need for it..
My niece has epilepsy and meds werent working at all with her-she was having several seizures a day that required hospitalizations due to their severity!!! Meds were like water for her-until the Ketogenic diet!! Then she started Living!! Together w/meds its working!! Her seizures are under control now-shes stable and doing great for a 4 yr old!!-Shes had seizures since she was 5 mos old! Ketogenic Diet Changed her life!!
My daughter began this diet at age 1 with the Mayo Clinic in Rochester MN as well. It has been our miracle. She was seizure free for 12 months with one relaspe because the diet was off a bit for a few weeks, she is back on track without seizures again. We are so thankful. Our daughter was a ragdoll on all the various medications they tried. Within 24 hours of being on this diet, she rolled over for the first time at age 1!! IShe now can almost crawl and makes many sounds.
Christie Rosckes Your comment was eight years ago. How is your daughter doing now? Is she on CBD now or what other things have helped?
Christie Rosckes 🙌🏼
Carrots 🥕 are not a keto food.
MsShyKs A few starchy carrots won’t throw you out if ketosis as long as your ratios of fat to protein are right
Low carb high fat, reduced rations, Atkins, call it what you like, has its been around since the 400BC. When different types of chemical medications came in, doctors opted for the Pharmaceuticals, rather than the diet, it was mentioned by Greek physicians 400 BC for treating diabetes and epilepsy. And in the 60s Australian Dr Atkins prescribed it for obese patients with heart conditions and high blood pressure.
It is not bad for people, its what happens when you have a famine or starvation and people Resort to using their body fat. So its quite natural to go into ketosis from time to time in fact thats what fasting is actually all about semi ketosis reducing carbohydrate levels it seems to be efficient in treating arthritis patients as well. The issues are that theres no money in not describing pharmaceutical medications, the pressure the doctors are under to prescribe, its all about the money folks.
It sure is about money. I would expect the mayo clinic to be a little more updated on what is happening today with keto.
No, Atkins has more protein which would prevent ketosis.
Keto still relevent today
Plenty of people heal from epilepsy on 80 10 10, without destructive cruel animal cancer heart disease
Got the proof Brad?
You sir have been misinformed like most of the world!
Animal fat does not cause cancer or heart disease!
The 80 10 10 diet might be good for some but for me LCHF/Keto diet is by far the best way to go! And yes I have done both 😉
And there is nothing wrong in killing and eating animals its the way its being done by the industry that is wrong and is part of destroying our health!
Some of things I have observed while following a high fat/low carb diet: The higher the ketosis (within reason, I am non diabetic so dka is not a problem)=the better I feel, less hunger, better sense of well being, more energy, less cravings, to name a few. I have heard people say that if they are in ketosis, the level does not matter, that is definitely NOT the case for me. The ketogenic diet for me is hard at first, it takes me about 3 weeks just to feel normal. I also limit water & protein.
tickyul What is the reason for limiting water?
@leanonme1 Atkins with less protein/more fat and the carbs remain very restricted during the life of the diet.
I am using this to lose weight and its amazing. I didnt realize it would help so much with my depression but this video makes sense since it helps feed your brain.
Lively Stones The ketogenic diet has many benefits. It’s all about boosting mitochondrial function and also teaching your body to burn fat efficiently. Dr Mercola speaks about this in many interviews and in his book “far for fuel”. The keto diet , intermittent fasting has been part of my personal brain healing protocol. Brain and body healing. I also tried the carnivore diet for two weeks last month. I want to give it a try again soon but longer. I noticed improvement in my health and since then I’ve been eating more red meat with good results. Many people report curing all kinds of diseases on the carnivore diet including autoimmune disease. Keto also has its great reputation for restoring people’s health. Blessings. 🙏
Rob Lovegreen I would like to know as well!
SooMuchMore Are you still on it? If so, how has it helped?
Yes, its ATKINS but they arent saying that. Looks like the mother could do well on it, too. 2:30
Problem with digestion and/or excreting can cause higher level of Bilirubin which then stores itself in fat, affect nerves and create itchiness under the skin. The brain is also made of fat. The blood brain barrier in children is not fully developed allowing Bilirubin into the brain which affects the membranes of the Neurons therefore creating seizures. Ketone from a high fat diet restores the membranes of the neurons therefore protecting against seizure. A good diet here helps in 2 ways.
If they get her, GRADUALLY, into CONSISTENT SPORTS/CONDITIONING PROGRAMS, AND MONiTOR what her plateau (enough, but not too much), she will likely not suffer ill results, from high fat. Exercise, & not diet, is 75% of health, as long as you get nutrients you need, is okay to get extra.
@blackstatis 0 Can you explain this fully and maybe drop a link?
dirtywhiteboymma the problems with dietary fats come from insulin blocking enzymes… guess what triggers insulin
@leanonme1 Atkins with less protein and more fat resulting in higher level of Ketones.
is she ok without the keto diet now that 2.5 yrs are past???? congrats by the way…
mohaz4lyf Thank you. Cady has been seizure-free since 2008, is on no special diet or meds, and is now considered CURED of epilepsy. Hallelujah!
The mother could do with some of that tbh…
I’m the mother in this video. I appreciate all of your sincere concern about my health. I’m doing very well, thank you. However, the point of this video is the health of my daughter, who, by the way, was carried in another woman’s belly. She’s also doing very well. It’s sad you weren’t as concerned about her.
Jean Diehl given the mothers abdominal fat, she is likely to have metabolic syndrome and have insulin resistance. This is particularly the case given the young daughter’s ill health. The daughter was housed in the mum’s body for 9 months and subject to her diet, hormones etc.. She should follow the diet herself and I hope she did! It would save her from her own ill health outcomes.
This lifestyle truly benefits everyone (who choose to be healthy).
@Jean Diehl That phrasing wasnt cruel. It sounds like youre looking for something to be offended by.
Declan Cockburn No one wants honesty if its cruel. Its trite, but the phrase if you dont have anything nice to say, dont say anything at all applies here. I mean, whats your point in saying this? Putting someone else down so you feel better about yourself is so not cool!
mayonnaise clinic
Some egg plus vegetable oils, yeah that would be ketogenic.
Atkins Diet and ketogenic diets in general FTW!
I laugh when she said keto not for everybody 😂
I am glad to know keto and live with it as a life style.. it saved my life after the age of 37
Tami Lynard A lot of people have been greatly helped by keto. Do you eat healthy keto with lots of vegetables?
same here!!!
eman Living with keto You must be eating the magic food? 😂
Rabiaa aburmila r u in Jordan???
focus on the date o this video from 2008
me too ketogenic
Few years ago I watched a true story about a boy who had Epilepsy and later on tried this Ketogenic Diet and became seizures free.Please could anyone knows the name of the movie? please let me know.Thanks
@El Boyd that one the boy had autism. He improved also
Journey2 Christs kingdom that’s great. Thank you 👍🏾👍🏾 x
The Magic Pill perhaps
The Movie is called First do no harm Just found it last night and WOW why dont we all know this?
The carrots are filled with starch…
It will be nice when the medical community catch up with modern day research!! They have a hard time explaining how they got it wrong for so long.
The carb part of the equation is a more complex balance whose net effect can be approximated with the glycemic index. Thats what matters there.
No medication worked for my son. He suffered from a seizure a minute most of the time. He has been virtually seizure free since being on the Ketogenic Diet for over a year and a half. What an amazing thing.
@Mountain Bike Addict lol wtf is wrong with you
Cool. I cured mine by using cannabis and I dont have to eat meat which contributes to climate change.
Yay….happy to hear that!!!
Great diet for diabete 1
Looks like mom could use a little ketosis herself
Zachary Hill The mom needs to stop eating altogether.
…not to mention the amazing healing in the gut this diet provides. That includes a bunch of incurable allergies and food sensitivities Ive gotten rid of! Thanks so much for sharing this video keep spreading the word!
I do a ketogenic diet for many reasons, here are some things that are real important for ME, in making this diet effective. 1. High level of ketones 2. Restrict carbs to very low levels, less than 20g. 3. Restrict protein levels to body requirements 4. Restrict fluid intake, this will increase ketone concentration. 5. Eat a SLIGHTLY subcaloric diet. 6. I eat a large percentage of calories from fat, about 70%.
I use MCTs, (coconut oil) occasionaly, but that stuff is rough on the gut.
I watched a Lifetime movie about this. It made me cry, it was so touching. Food has a lot to do with our health and we forget that sometimes. My son has O.D.D. and Aspergers and I would love to try this diet on him to see if it would work at all. I know when I am eating high protein, high fat, like on the Atkins diet, it made me feel so calm and relaxed in my brain. I have been on a raw food diet for a year and do not feel the same way, but feel it is healthier. Its amazing what food can do.
@Andrew Colvin If you fully researched those topics, youd realize thats not the case with the environment. Please try looking outside the left echo chamber. I suggest starting with the fatal flaw in climate change theory. Thatll crack your mind right open within the first few minutes.
ODD, lol. You need to see a psychologist and find some better classical and operant conditioning for him before its too late. Been in mental health since the early 2000s. ODD is one of the most BS diagnoses.
Ineedmorelives This is a stupid and dangerous comment. High meat is extremely unhealthy—not to mention environmentally destructive and unethical. The keto diet is dangerous without a dietician monitoring it. Do not put your child on a diet like this thinking it will fix his Aspergers. That is reckless and irresponsible.
But amazingly, diabetes doctors are in denial. They put my kid through 11 years of hell. HELL on Earth. Including insulin resistance at year 5. Every time I said what about carbs? they pointed to the grains portion of the FDA pyramid which is total bullshit. We finally stopped going. Now my kid is on keto and has her life back. They lie. ADA lies, AHA lies, ACS lies. They all lie. And they are all paid by big pharma. MD Anderson now puts cancer patients on keto so their immune system can kick back in. Cancer can metabolize (spread) ONLY in a state of high blood sugar, in the presence of glucose. How they are lying to us is criminal and I, for one, have zero respect for the medical profession. They are here to make money, not heal people. THERE IS NO MONEY IN A CURE.
I believe the low carb diet also helps relax people in some way…I know i know I am mellower when consistently on the diet.
@Andrew Colvin HUR-DUR thats what you sound like sugar slave
Sincopare omg! Ur right it does
That’s because you’re dying and your body is in starvation mode. Low energy and clogging arteries.
Me too. I call it the KetoCalm.
The diet works because it allows a different fuel source to be used instead of fixing glucose metabolism, which can be done. My girlfriend had seizures for 25 years that are gone now, and it certainly didnt require some barbaric keto diet.
There are only 2 fuels for the body, glucose or fats (ketones), so if someone switched from glucose, than the only option there is fat and that means ketones, a ketosis state. That means she must have been on keto, and anyone who is intermittent fasting, or is fasting or is on a low carb (ketogenic) diet will switch to fats as fuel, so burning fats it means to be in ketosis, like babies in the womb or when they are breast fed. A keto state is very beneficial to ones health (autism, epilepsy, dementia, but also cancer, diabetes and more). Is actually a lifestyle for many of us. Ive been on keto since 2017 and Im never going back to carbosis, the glucose dependency land with its ups and downs ever again, thou still eating plenty of veggies but mostly animal foods, real foods, nothing of the starchy carbs… no need for it..
180degreehealth I try keto with my nephew he is 6years old but the seizures still here after 4months on keto 😭
