20+ No Carb Foods With No Sugar (80+ Low Carb Foods) Your Ultimate Keto Food Guide

Time: 0

no carb foods foods with zero sugar and zero carbs is there such a thing or

Time: 7.17

should we simply aim for foods that have low carbs well it all depends on what

Time: 12.719

your goal is with all of the successes with low carb and keto people want to

Time: 18.449

learn more about this but there's so much misinformation so today we're gonna

Time: 23.22

give you the bigger picture when it clear up all those questions for you

Time: 26.699

stay tuned I'm doctor Ekberg I'm a holistic doctor and a former

Time: 34.89

Olympian and if you'd like to truly master health by understanding how the

Time: 38.85

body really works make sure you subscribe and hit that notification bell

Time: 42.93

so that you don't miss anything most of the questions I get are whether you

Time: 47.399

could eat this or eat that depending on what you're doing

Time: 50.94

and then I looked up a few videos and one of the main videos that I found was

Time: 56.399

a video called no sugar no carb foods and it had over a million views but then

Time: 63.329

when I looked through it it was just riddled with misinformation it didn't

Time: 68.82

mention some good foods like butter and salmon and so forth but then he went on

Time: 74.46

to say that kale pecans watermelon cauliflower and blackberries had zero

Time: 81.96

sugar and zero carbs then he went through the whole video and it finished

Time: 85.799

up saying that as you can see there are a great range of foods that contain no

Time: 90.84

sugar and no carbs and obviously that's just plain wrong so today we're gonna

Time: 96.06

talk about all those things all the numbers that I'm gonna give you are

Time: 99.78

gonna be net carbs meaning that you take the total amount of carbohydrate you

Time: 105.42

subtract the fiber so you have the digestible portion of the carbohydrate

Time: 110.399

how much carbohydrate can the body absorb that can affect blood sugar I'm

Time: 115.29

going to give you all those numbers as a percentage meanings grams of carbs per

Time: 121.86

hundred grams of the food and a lot of times it's difficult to find reliable

Time: 126.75

data I've done my best and if you find some numbers that are off by a few

Time: 131.91

points or that you think that it should something different just let me know and

Time: 135.64

we'll try to straighten that out so I'm going to talk about four different

Time: 138.61

categories of food so first we have the true foods that have zero sugar zero

Time: 146.05

carbs they are zero calorie foods then we're going to talk about foods that

Time: 150.34

have zero carbs or just trace amounts and then when I continue talking about

Time: 155.83

low carb and then we're going to talk about a category where it sort of

Time: 161.71

depends on the quantity all right so we're gonna straighten that out for you

Time: 165.7

so the foods with zero calories zero carbs these you could do basically

Time: 173.11

unlimited no matter if you are trying too fast or you are trying to reduce

Time: 179.65

calories or you're doing intermittent fasting or you're reducing insulin or

Time: 184.12

whatever it is these will basically not affect any of those factors if you're

Time: 190.09

strictly fasting of course that means that you don't put anything in a water

Time: 194.77

fast means that you can only drink water but if you're just fasting for insulin

Time: 199.21

purposes then these would be okay so these items are water apple cider

Time: 204.82

vinegar in the water herb tea so these are sort of an order

Time: 209.83

of how safe they are an herb tea should be perfectly safe but some of the

Time: 216.25

fruitier ones they might have fruit extract so they could give you just a

Time: 220.84

few milligrams of something but you you're basically safe green tea and

Time: 225.76

black tea and coffee they are listed in order of increasing amounts of caffeine

Time: 231.73

and while caffeine doesn't have any calories depending on the person if

Time: 237.01

you're very sensitive that caffeine could trigger a little bit of a stress

Time: 242.2

response a little bit of an adrenaline effect make some cortisol increased

Time: 246.79

blood sugar and it could affect insulin but every one is different so if you are

Time: 252.52

worried then you basically have to start measuring and seeing how you're doing

Time: 256.75

you measure your glucose you see if there's any change then you might have

Time: 260.98

an issue with those and then last on the list here is stevia and with that we

Time: 265.51

could put in things like monk fruit extract as well there basically

Time: 270.4

zero calorie but because they have a sweet taste again depending on the

Time: 276.099

person you could trigger a cephalic effect meaning that the brain senses

Time: 282.93

sweetness and it assumes that there's some food coming so it starts driving up

Time: 287.83

some insulin to deal with the food it's anticipating again everyone's different

Time: 293.949

some people are not gonna have an issue with that but if you're worried measure

Time: 298.029

and see what's happening next we're into the category with zero carbohydrates and

Time: 303.58

what I mean by that isn't necessarily that there isn't a single molecule of

Time: 307.539

carbohydrate in there I mean that you would have to consume an awful lot of

Time: 313.419

the thing to get even one gram of sugar so for insulin purposes for fasting

Time: 319.479

purposes it's negligible so lemon water if you squeeze a teaspoon of lemon juice

Time: 326.8

into your water that goes a pretty long way you could probably make that

Time: 330.639

teaspoon stretch over a quart or maybe even two and still have that freshness

Time: 336.49

to the water so if you squeeze a teaspoon of lemon juice

Time: 339.339

that's 0.4 grams of carbs okay it's not gonna affect anything then you can also

Time: 346.93

infuse your water you could slice up some cucumber you don't want to squeeze

Time: 351.819

it you could slice up some lemon you could slice up some oranges or some

Time: 355.689

other fruit and as long as you just leave it sitting in the water to be

Time: 360.37

infused and then you don't actually eat the fruit or you don't squeeze the fruit

Time: 365.589

now you're also just gonna get fractions of a gram and it can make that water

Time: 370.509

much more appetizing next on the list are the proteins the big proteins meat

Time: 376.089

fish and chicken and we're talking about lamb or any sort of meat fish or chicken

Time: 382.149

that you can find they're all going to be roughly the same they're gonna have

Time: 386.349

some around 20% protein and they're gonna have zero carbs now if your

Time: 392.8

purpose if your goal is to reduce insulin resistance then remember though

Time: 398.769

that proteins can trigger a amount of insulin so on a ketogenic diet

Time: 404.2

we recommend very low carb moderate protein and high fat then after the

Time: 411.28

proteins we have the fats these are the things that you can eat a lot of

Time: 415.87

calories without getting any carbohydrate so we have extra-virgin

Time: 420.82

olive oil we have coconut oil MCT oil that's very popular then you can put in

Time: 427.48

your bulletproof coffee if you do it like that and then some cooking fats

Time: 432.19

tallow lard butter and ghee and ghee is clarified butter that means they've

Time: 439.42

heated it so that they have gotten rid of the water and some of the protein is

Time: 444.4

called clarified butter so some people who are extremely sensitive to dairy

Time: 450.34

could actually tolerate ghee but not the butter because the butter has trace

Time: 456.49

amounts of protein in it and then last on the list I put mayo because it's very

Time: 462.91

popular people are asking about that and mayo is good if the oil in the mayo is

Time: 470.05

good so if you make it yourself you could put avocado oil or walnut oil or

Time: 474.97

something like that in there if you buy it in the store they're always going to

Time: 479.23

be various forms the commercial ones are going to be various forms of soybean oil

Time: 484.87

or canola or something like that there are smaller brands with higher quality

Time: 490.06

that you can look for but look for the quality of the oil to determine whether

Time: 495.7

the mayo is good so if you're fasting then you're gonna have the majority of

Time: 501.43

your intake of your consumption of the zero-calorie if you are keto you're

Time: 508.72

gonna have the majority of your calories in the zero carb category here you can

Time: 515.53

eat a lot of these different foods they're probably going to be 90 95 % of

Time: 520.93

your calories so now we're done with the foods that have zero carbs or for all

Time: 526.21

practical purposes zero carbs now we're moving on to the food that have low carb

Time: 532.03

and this is where again even though you eat most

Time: 534.97

your calories here this is where you still get a lot of bulk and we're

Time: 539.98

starting off with some protein foods like eggs and cheese that some people

Time: 544.689

consider them to have zero carbs and they sort of do but eggs have about 1%

Time: 551.069

carbohydrate so if you eat 3 eggs you're probably going to get 3 to 4 eggs you're

Time: 557.199

gonna get a couple of grams of carbohydrate not a big deal but we still

Time: 561.519

want to know about it so that we understand these principles if you have

Time: 566.199

a really really tight budget for carbohydrates like if you're trying to

Time: 570.22

keep them under 10 grams then every gram matters next on the list is avocado and

Time: 576.97

that's one of those nature's miracles it's like one of a kind it is

Time: 582.22

technically a fruit but it's considered a vegetable because it's not sweet it is

Time: 587.589

the only plant that is not a seed that is extremely high in fat so it has about

Time: 595.06

15% fat and about 2% carbohydrates you could eat a lot of avocado and not rack

Time: 602.649

up a substantial amount so there this is for for vegan keto people that's the

Time: 608.829

go-to food and of course for for omnivores who eat a little bit of

Time: 612.819

everything there's a chance to get some plant food in that is very low in carbs

Time: 618.49

and very high in fat plus it's delicious and it goes with everything

Time: 622.899

then we have three of my favorite nuts macadamia nut pecan nuts and walnuts and

Time: 629.73

these are the ones that I like the most because they are the lowest in

Time: 634.689

carbohydrate macadamias have 5 grams pecans have 4 grams walnuts has about 3

Time: 640.42

grams but the fat is also the highest in the macadamia and the pecan and not

Time: 646.42

quite so much in the walnut these are nuts that taste really good raw

Time: 653.079

there's not many nuts that most nuts are quite bitter until you roast them but

Time: 659.05

then you you change you oxidize you destroy the fatty acids in the nuts so

Time: 664.569

if you can eat nuts raw that's where you have the most nutrition and that's what

Time: 668.769

the fats in the nuts are the most beneficial so macadamia pecan and

Time: 673.749

walnuts those taste very good by themselves they're very low in carb and

Time: 678.519

very high in fat they also have very good fiber and protein in them something

Time: 683.41

to keep in mind about nuts though is that they have not such a great ratio

Time: 689.29

between omega-3s and omega-6s the fat in grass-fed meat is about a one to one on

Time: 698.17

omega-6 to omega-3 fish is famous for its very very high omega-3 it's a

Time: 704.679

beneficial ratio omega-6 and omega-3 most of the other fats vegetable fats

Time: 711.129

are gonna have a little bit more omega 6's than omega-3s in general but the

Time: 717.459

saturated fats the and especially the animal fats the tallow the lard and the

Time: 723.489

butter if the animal was healthy if it was grass-fed then you're gonna have

Time: 729.189

about a 1 to 1 ratio there which is considered quite beneficial because our

Time: 735.129

diets in general are way too high in omega sixes and the average americans

Time: 740.949

sometimes has as much as a 20 to 1 ratio 20 times more omega sixes and that's

Time: 748.299

mostly because they consume so much of the commercial oils made from seeds and

Time: 753.369

nuts but that also means that nuts have a lot more omega 6's than omega 3 so

Time: 760.089

that's a reason that while we can't have some of these nuts you don't want to

Time: 764.649

overdo it because you'll start shifting that ratio and that's another reason why

Time: 769.569

it is healthier in the long run you're gonna get a better ratio by focusing

Time: 775.209

more on the saturated animal fats after the nuts we have the seeds flax Chia

Time: 781.899

hemp and pumpkin these are the ones with the highest fat to carbohydrate ratio so

Time: 790.389

flax only has 2 grams of carbs chia has 4 hemp has 3 and pumpkin has 5 so these

Time: 797.019

are good foods the pumpkin typically is snacking food flax chia and hemp you

Time: 804.09

wouldn't necessarily snack on it but they're good for things like smoothies

Time: 809.7

and you can grind it and put on cereal and so forth again because it's a plant

Time: 814.44

food you don't want to overdo it because it tends to have more omega sixes than

Time: 819.57

omega-3 so you don't want to skew that ratio too much and a lot of people have

Time: 824.52

also asked about the estrogenic effects that there are phytoestrogens in

Time: 829.98

these seeds especially flax but again don't look at a food and say oh look

Time: 836.61

that has the lowest carbs I'm gonna eat nothing but that food that's why I'm

Time: 841.92

giving you a whole lot of different options here because we want to vary our

Time: 845.76

food intake we want to choose from a wide variety of foods so does it have

Time: 850.59

some phytoestrogens sure should you eat a cup a day probably not but if you

Time: 855.87

grind up and you have a couple of tablespoons then it is very unlikely

Time: 860.19

that's going to upset any sort of balance next in the low-carb group we

Time: 864.72

have the leafy greens and now there are things like Swiss chard with 2 grams of

Time: 871.29

carbs kale with 5 grams of carbs lettuce 2 grams of carbs spinach 2 grams of

Time: 877.11

carbs so these you can eat pretty freely because even though they have a few

Time: 881.04

grams of carb in them you're not going to consume hundreds of grams one of

Time: 886.83

these big tubs of lettuce that you get might have 400 like a pound 450 grams so

Time: 895.98

that might be 9 grams the carbs in the entire tub and you're probably not going

Time: 900.42

to finish that tub in less than five or six salads and when I say lettuce we're

Time: 905.61

including a bunch of different lettuce all sorts of leafy greens called lettuce

Time: 910.05

like Boston lettuce arugula romaine lettuce green leaf red leaf etc they're

Time: 916.83

gonna differ it a little tiny little bit some are going to be one and a half some

Time: 920.76

are going to be two and a half but they're very low carb so feel free to

Time: 925.02

eat plenty of those there are so many low carb good foods that we continue

Time: 930.39

with the second column here so olives is also a plant

Time: 935.279

food so I guess I have to say that there's two foods avocado and olives and

Time: 939.899

I'm sure there's some more exceptions but they're both very high in fat and

Time: 945.569

very low in carbohydrates so olives have 3 grams of carbs and it's very high in

Time: 951.18

fat that's why they make olive oil from it and then we'll finish up the low carb

Time: 956.399

category with a whole group a whole bunch of non starchy vegetables so non

Time: 964.529

starchy also means that they're very watery they're very high in water

Time: 968.43

content most of these are about 90 percent water

Time: 972.059

so you Matan you notice if you cook them that there's a lot of water left over

Time: 977.1

typically so we have spaghetti squash with 5 grams of carbs a lot of pasta

Time: 983.279

lovers are noticing that you can actually if you drown that thing in

Time: 987.48

spaghetti sauce and you prep it with some butter and some good spices then it

Time: 992.579

can be an incredible meal broccoli Brussels sprouts

Time: 996.689

bell pepper all very low carb Rockley about 4 grams Swiss Brussels sprouts

Time: 1001.91

about 5 grams and bell pepper about 3 for the green and about 4 grams for the

Time: 1008.059

yellow and the red cabbage a great food and if you turn it into sauerkraut then

Time: 1014.569

it becomes even less plus when you ferment it you create a probiotic so

Time: 1020.66

that's one of the easiest things to ferment and I highly recommend that you

Time: 1025.22

give that a try I do that here at home so when you ferment something you are

Time: 1030.62

taking natural bacteria and you're letting the bacteria consume some of the

Time: 1036.23

carbohydrate in the food and then they proliferate so now you have more

Time: 1041.03

bacteria and less carbohydrates so that's one of the wonders of nature of

Time: 1046.429

how it can work a double benefit and it's the same thing with yogurt of

Time: 1051.169

course cauliflower celery cucumber eggplant they're all about 2 to 3 grams

Time: 1056.659

of carbs mushroom okra zucchini tomato all great foods very very low carbs and

Time: 1064.75

in the meat category in the red category here you're gonna eat to get

Time: 1071.06

your calories and then in the low carb category you're gonna eat to get

Time: 1077

some bulk to get some fiber to get some phytonutrients to get some minerals you

Time: 1082.7

combine these two but you're not going to be able to live off of this typically

Time: 1088.399

because you're gonna have to eat like 10 pounds worth of food so you need to get

Time: 1093.59

some bulk here and to get some calories over here next we're getting into a

Time: 1098.12

category where I want to talk about and and try to use some common sense about

Time: 1103.13

these things so in this category there's gonna be foods with varying amounts of

Time: 1108.26

carbohydrates so it's going to depend on how much of it you eat that's its

Time: 1113.059

quantity dependent some wise person said long ago that quantity makes the poison

Time: 1119.63

that some things are poisonous like arsenic and plutonium in in any

Time: 1124.97

microscopic amount but when it comes to food there's nothing really poisonous

Time: 1130.07

it's it's all dependent on the dose and it depends on what your goals are I'm

Time: 1135.5

going to answer a question where there's been a lot of confusion like if you're

Time: 1139.549

fasting what can you add to your coffee and I've heard so many different

Time: 1144.289

versions of this that oh you can't put milk as it has sugar you should put

Time: 1148.76

cream it has no sugar and coconut cream has sugar don't use that and so forth so

Time: 1154.7

here's the truth of the matter coconut cream heavy cream half-and-half

Time: 1160.61

and milk they all have sugar but the more fat they have the less sugar

Time: 1169.34

because the sugar is basically floating around in the water the sugar is

Time: 1175.09

water-soluble so as you turn milk into cream as you remove the water and you

Time: 1181.76

concentrate the fat then you're also reducing the sugar percentage so that's

Time: 1188.63

the one thing so coconut cream has about 2.7 grams of carbohydrate per hundred

Time: 1196.669

2.7% cream has 2.8

Time: 1202.299

half-and-half has 4.3 and milk has 5.3 so they all have sugar but if you're

Time: 1209.709

looking at the dairy portion if you're looking at the cream half-and-half and

Time: 1213.399

milk why would you want to use cream other than the fact that it has about

Time: 1218.769

half as much sugar as the milk because it's so much richer and the fat is not

Time: 1225.759

going to trigger any insulin so if you have a big pot of coffee which is going

Time: 1231.309

to make it creamier a tablespoon of milk or a tablespoon of cream ok the cream is

Time: 1237.879

going to smooth it out so much more so that you can get away with a tablespoon

Time: 1243.94

or maybe two of cream whereas you'd be tempted maybe to use half a cup of milk

Time: 1249.219

and now that the carbs really really add up so all of them have carbohydrates but

Time: 1256.869

the best - to go for is coconut cream and heavy cream so I would go for heavy

Time: 1263.889

cream every time unless you're trying to avoid dairy and then I would strongly

Time: 1268.45

suggest the coconut cream as an alternative that's what I use for the

Time: 1272.799

most part in my coffee I put I do a few shots of decaf espresso I put some

Time: 1280.419

coconut cream in it I put a stevia sweetener or a chicory root sweetener I

Time: 1287.2

put little butter and I put some MCT oil in there and then I'm set all morning

Time: 1294.479

tastes delicious too. what about condiments can you have condiments can you put

Time: 1299.919

stuff on your burger besides a little mayo

Time: 1303.129

well mustard has 2% sugar and ketchup has 25 and I didn't put relish on here

Time: 1311.739

but it's also way way way up there I didn't put this on the list but you

Time: 1315.429

could use dill pickle unsweetened dill pickles would be great too so mustard

Time: 1320.019

you could use a couple of tablespoons and you're not going to get even a gram

Time: 1325.089

can you use ketchup well it sort of depends on your car budget what are you

Time: 1331.329

trying to stay under and how much ketchup are you going to use

Time: 1335.65

if you're just gonna use the tablespoon now you're talking about maybe 2 3 grams

Time: 1343.03

of sugar but if you're one of those people who eat ketchup by the cup or by

Time: 1347.65

the half a cup now that's not such a good idea because 6 7 tablespoons of

Time: 1354.7

ketchup which I've seen people do that and more now you're talking 20-25 grams

Time: 1361.15

of sugar just in that ketchup mustard I probably say go for it

Time: 1365.83

ketchup I would be very very careful because the ketchup has a lot of sugar

Time: 1372.04

but not only that it is mostly high fructose corn syrup in there so when I

Time: 1377.02

talk about my favorite nuts the macadamia pecan a walnut and people

Time: 1382

always throw in that oh yeah I love those nuts and then I eat a lot of

Time: 1385.6

peanuts and cashews also because they sort of think that all nuts are created

Time: 1391.059

the same well peanuts first of all is not a nut

Time: 1393.91

it's a legume it's like a pea more and it has 14% carbohydrate so that may not

Time: 1402.7

be too bad because they're pretty filling so if you can just eat one of

Time: 1407.65

those little bags or you can have just a tiny little handful you might only get

Time: 1412.48

let's say 2 ounces about 50 grams and then you'll have 7 grams of carbs so

Time: 1418.24

maybe that's ok depending on your on your carb budget what are you trying to

Time: 1423.52

stay below cashews though they are almost that they're over 1/4

Time: 1431.67

carbohydrate that's why they're so yummy they're very very sugary so I would

Time: 1436.3

probably stay away from cashews because you can't have very many at all before

Time: 1441.13

that starts adding up so with all my recommendations here I'm assuming that

Time: 1446.05

someone watching a low-carb video is trying to eat low carb or keto so I'm

Time: 1451.96

assuming with my recommendations that most people are trying to stay like 50

Time: 1457.72

between 20 and 50 grams or maybe even lower so if you are not so insulin

Time: 1464.59

resistant and you are allowing yourself maybe 70 or 80

Time: 1469.5

if you're not trying to stay in ketosis but just sort of find balance then you

Time: 1474.42

might be a little more generous to yourself next we have coconut milk but

Time: 1480.48

not the kind that comes for cooking but for drinking so now we're sort of

Time: 1484.83

talking about all the rice milk and the almond milk and the coconut milk and the

Time: 1489.09

macadamia milk and so forth and these are typically they're there they make

Time: 1495.42

them with these nuts but they add a lot of water and then they add a little bit

Time: 1499.83

of sugar and salt and thickener to make them more palatable to make them more

Time: 1506.16

desirable so this is an example of Silk coconut milk it has three percent sugar

Time: 1516.12

3 percent carbs just like the coconut cream did but this has very little fat

Time: 1524.79

it has like 2/3 percent fat so this is intended for drinking which means that

Time: 1530.28

you're probably going to gobble it down by the cup so if you have two cups worth

Time: 1534.9

of this now all of a sudden you've had five times that much you've had 15 grams

Time: 1540.9

of carbohydrates so it adds up very quickly and if you add saying this is

Time: 1545.52

more like a milk if you add this to your coffee then you're probably not going to

Time: 1550.23

be satisfied with just a teaspoon or a tablespoon you're gonna be tempted to

Time: 1554.64

put in maybe half a cup so realize that the high-fat products will go a lot

Time: 1561.24

further in in satisfying you and therefore you're gonna keep the carbs

Time: 1565.71

down worse the sheer sauce is one of my favorite condiments and if you're just

Time: 1572.22

putting a teaspoon or something on on something you're eating then you could

Time: 1578.61

probably get away with that no big deal but this Worcestershire sauce has 20%

Time: 1585.11

sugar in it pure sugar so a teaspoon is going to give you one gram but if you're

Time: 1592.92

doing like a heavy barbecue cookout and you like to make your own barbecue sauce

Time: 1599.61

and have a lot of Worcestershire I have a recipe

Time: 1603.63

that I do that calls for almost a cup of Worcestershire sauce that would mean 50

Time: 1609.72

grams of sugar so I don't use that anymore I've looked up various ways of

Time: 1614.37

just creating that flavor from the raw ingredients so that's pretty easy I

Time: 1619.8

might make a video on that but you could use some anchovy paste and some spices

Time: 1624.96

and and you could get the same end results without all that sugar so keep

Time: 1630.84

that in mind it's about the quantity if it's just a teaspoon on top of something

Time: 1635.88

fine but if you're going to start using large quantities then that's probably

Time: 1640.26

not such a good idea then we've got all these little packages

Time: 1643.86

with sweeteners and I'm not even going to get into the artificial ones I'll do

Time: 1648.9

a separate video on those but the stevia wants that stevia is a natural product

Time: 1655.2

it is processed so sure it's not like eating the plant anymore but it is still

Time: 1660.69

not harmful it's nothing to worry about but when you do those little portion

Time: 1665.94

packets then they mix them up with something because stevia is so

Time: 1669.99

concentrated you wouldn't if you open up one of this little packages and it was

Time: 1674.19

only stevia they would just be like dust in there you wouldn't even see it that

Time: 1678.51

wouldn't be much so they mix it up with a filler product and that filler product

Time: 1683.01

could be something like inulin or Maltodextrin or sugar or glucose or dextrose

Time: 1690.45

all these different names and if they use sugar or glucose or dextrose which

Time: 1697.8

is the same thing then they're usually going to put in about a half to one gram

Time: 1703.26

in that bag so depending on how many of those you use if you just use one like I

Time: 1710.34

think it's convenient if I have yogurt sometimes I'll put some berries on I'll

Time: 1715.71

I'll pour one of those on there and I got myself a half a gram of sugar not a

Time: 1720.69

big deal but if you use them a lot like if you figure that hey you know it's not

Time: 1725.94

affecting my my glucose my insulin but so I use them in my coffee but you have

Time: 1731.97

five coffees a day and you put three bags in each coffee now it

Time: 1738.33

adds up now you might have somewhere between ten and fifteen grams of sugar

Time: 1743.13

from that stevia so we got to understand that even though they call it zero it's

Time: 1748.38

not zero because they put a little bit in there so one kind of these packages

Time: 1753.63

typically put a natural or semi natural sugar like glucose dextrose etc and then

Time: 1760.35

there's the other kind that puts a sugar alcohol they put erythritol or xylitol

Time: 1767.88

or something maltitol in there and now it technically doesn't have any sugar

Time: 1773.669

and it has none or less carbohydrate but you could be upsetting your digestive

Time: 1782.309

flora so depending on the person if you have a concrete stomach then you're

Time: 1788.85

probably fine with that but if you have any kind of bacteria

Time: 1792.15

imbalance if you notice at all that you tend to get gassy with certain foods

Time: 1797.159

then that sugar alcohol is not a good idea because it's gonna start feeding

Time: 1802.37

the wrong kind of bacteria the ones that make gas so one very popular product is

Time: 1809.37

swerve for baking which has stevia plus erythritol primarily and using large

Time: 1815.789

amounts of that can get people some serious gas so pay attention to that and

Time: 1820.789

understand how that works and I love to have some berries once in a while I love

Time: 1825.419

some fruit for a treat but I try to stay away from from fruit for the most part

Time: 1830.19

but berries are great raspberries strawberries blackberries and my

Time: 1834.87

favorite is raspberries because they're so flavorful in proportion to how much

Time: 1840.179

you eat that a handful of raspberries go a long way and they only have 5% sugar

Time: 1846.6

so you could essentially eat 50 grams and have yourself a nice treat and only

Time: 1852.78

get two and a half grams of sugar out of that same thing with strawberries and

Time: 1857.34

blackberries but you might be tempted to eat a little bit more because they're

Time: 1860.94

not quite as intense in the flavor and the number one popular question that I

Time: 1865.98

have gotten on my videos is well what about

Time: 1870.57

watermelon because it's so watery right can't be much sugar in there and this

Time: 1876.46

other video that I found it said that oh you can eat lots of watermelon because

Time: 1881.17

it is moderate in sugar and has so much fiber which is not true so I can see

Time: 1887.65

where people get misled watermelon has about seven grams of sugar per hundred

Time: 1895.69

grams 7% sugar and it has 0.4% fiber so it's almost non-existent that's why it

Time: 1903.04

all turns to water when you squeeze it it's all liquid 7 doesn't sound like a

Time: 1908.44

whole lot compared to the raspberries but can you sort of imagine a handful of

Time: 1913.63

raspberries that's 50 grams and then you have this dense watermelon and a cube of

Time: 1921.91

50 grams of watermelon would give you 3 and 1/2 grams of sugar but it's like a

Time: 1928.54

50 grams of watermelon would be a cube about that size not even so you probably

Time: 1936.16

more likely to eat a pound worth of watermelon and now you're talking about

Time: 1941.11

30 grams of sugar and here in the American South where the watermelons are

Time: 1946.45

enormous and they weigh about 20 pounds sometimes even more we want to realize

Time: 1952.42

that one watermelon would have 600 grams of sugar are you just gonna eat that one

Time: 1960.22

little cube at a time one little cube per day and then wait till next day

Time: 1965.35

before you have your next little scoop probably not so this is one of those

Time: 1970.51

things that we have to understand that the dose makes the poison that even

Time: 1976.18

though it doesn't sound like it has a whole lot it's one of those foods that

Time: 1980.2

you will probably never eat just a little bit of it next an absolutely

Time: 1984.88

fantastic food nutritional yeast this is the most abundant form of real natural

Time: 1992.71

vitamin B so it's kind of cheesy and the flavor you can spread it on just about

Time: 1998.89

anything and it has 6 grams of carbs but it's very light and

Time: 2004.38

flaky so your even if you use two three tablespoons you're not gonna put on more

Time: 2009.929

than maybe 10 grams so you're not even going to get up to one gram of carb from

Time: 2014.82

this and realize that the B vitamins that you get from nutritional yeast are

Time: 2020.79

far superior they're completely different than the stuff that you buy in

Time: 2025.11

a vitamin pill so much much better skip the vitamin pill skip the the B complex

Time: 2032.7

pill and just start using nutritional yeast as part of your daily regimen

Time: 2037.559

what about garlic well garlic turns out

Time: 2041.76

to be one of the starchiest foods we have it is starchier than potato

Time: 2048.869

it is starchier than sweet potato but again how much are you gonna eat so if

Time: 2054.96

you just use a clove or two you're gonna get a couple of grams of carbohydrate

Time: 2059.369

with it but if you're one of those people who are gonna use one pound of

Time: 2063.45

broccoli and half a pound of garlic when you make your your dish then maybe think

Time: 2070.23

again so one bulb not one clove but one bulb

Time: 2074.399

would probably be in the neighborhood of 50 grams so that would give you about 15

Time: 2078.78

grams of carbohydrate that might take a pretty big chunk out of your

Time: 2083.51

carbohydrate budget so check out your garlic see & weigh it and see how much

Time: 2088.95

you're actually using and and figure that one into your budget

Time: 2092.25

herbs and spices feel free to use them fresh herbs like basil cilantro tarragon

Time: 2099.45

and dill very very low they're sort of like the the leafy greens over here

Time: 2104.73

basil cilantro only has 1 gram of carbs so tarragon and dill has a little bit

Time: 2110.79

more but you couldn't possibly eat like a half a pound of dill or or tarragon

Time: 2116.609

they're they're spices so you can use those very very freely it's not going to

Time: 2121.68

add up to anything so fresh herbs are fine what about when you dry them

Time: 2126.06

because if you look at the numbers then the numbers go up dramatically so some

Time: 2131.19

of the popular ones would be parsley sage

Time: 2134.49

rosemary and thyme and now the numbers go up dramatically from one or two five

Time: 2141.93

all the way up in the 20s so 21 22 27 grams of carbs does that mean you can't

Time: 2148.98

have them because they're so so much carbs of course not because you are only

Time: 2154.71

going to use a few grams even if you use a couple of tablespoons worth of

Time: 2160.53

something it's still only gonna measure up to maybe 5 grams total and maybe one

Time: 2166.71

gram of carbs so herbs and spices whether they're fresh or whether they're

Time: 2171.72

dried then you can use them freely then there's some more popular spices that

Time: 2176.76

are not herbs but things like mustard seed peppercorns cinnamon and curry can

Time: 2183.48

you have those they look like they're awfully high in carbs again it's the

Time: 2189.119

dose it's how much it's the amount that makes the difference so even though they

Time: 2193.56

have 38 and 28 25 cardamom has a full 40% carbs you're not going to use very

Time: 2201.69

much a teaspoon here a teaspoon there gives you a fraction of a gram so we

Time: 2207.81

have to realize that when people say that you you can eat this because it's

Time: 2212.55

low you can't eat that because it's high it all depends on how much of it you're

Time: 2218.01

planning to eat and for my last item number 81

Time: 2221.55

I have glucomannan so what is that it's also known as konjac root and it is a

Time: 2228.98

highly absorbent gelatinous fiber it's mostly being sold as a weight-loss

Time: 2235.55

product and again if you follow this channel you know that we never want to

Time: 2240.93

try to take something for something you want to address the root cause if you

Time: 2246.33

want some fiber fine go get it make sure you drink lots of water but the reason

Time: 2251.4

I'm interested in this one is that if you're into cooking and spices and

Time: 2256.68

things then chances are you're going to want to make a sauce at some point

Time: 2260.85

you're going to want to thicken something and typically people thicken

Time: 2266.07

sauces and ragus and stews they thicken them

Time: 2271.32

with cornstarch or potato starch or arrowroot or something like that and

Time: 2275.96

even though you don't use a whole lot it adds up pretty quickly because

Time: 2281.369

cornstarch is almost a hundred percent starch if you use even a tablespoon

Time: 2286.38

you're adding a lot of starch to your dish glucomannan on the other hand is

Time: 2292.25

all fiber it is not the starch that's absorbable it's the fiber so you could

Time: 2299.369

add you're gonna need to add a little bit more than you would corn starch but

Time: 2304.26

it has zero carbs it's all fiber so you can use this one freely it will give you

Time: 2310.17

a little extra bulk if you drink some water if you take it

Time: 2313.83

as a supplement and you drink some water with it then it'll help fill up the

Time: 2318.06

stomach and help keep you fuller but again that's not the long-term solution

Time: 2323.099

you're not looking to deprive yourself of food long term you want to eat low

Time: 2328.98

carb high fat so that your body learns to regulate your appetite you don't want

Time: 2333.72

to try to trick it into feeling fuller because that's not gonna last in the

Time: 2338.19
