Keto Diet: Dirty Keto vs Clean Keto - Which Is Better?

today we're going to do a keto diet review there's a lot of people wanting

to do keto and they're interested in keto and they're getting success with

keto but there's different ways of doing it there's healthy and there's unhealthy

ways of doing it so today we're going to talk about dirty keto is it a good idea

and what is it so the basic idea with keto is to cut back the carbohydrates so

low that your body starts using fat more effectively so when we look at the

macronutrient distribution we have roughly 75% of calories from fat 20%

from protein and 5% or less from carbohydrates so on clean keto it would

look something like this and on thirty keto it would look exactly the same

that's the macronutrients is what makes the principle of keto work it's what

cutting the carbs so low that the body has to start burning fat it gets better

because it needs the energy from somewhere if you cut the carbs way back

fats the next best thing why does it matter then if you get if they're the

same on the surface with the macronutrients then why don't you just

make it easy on yourself because the proponents of keto say that you know it

they're talking about doing it clean and strict but there's it's just so

difficult my life is busy I don't have so much money

so with dirty keto it's it's convenient I don't have to prepare as much I can

get some fast food if I'm in a pinch I can just get some get a hamburger and

and throw away the bun there's certain processed foods that I can eat it's

cheaper and they're saying most of all it still works so what does that mean

when we say it works to most people they're talking about weight loss that's

their their goal is weight loss when they say it works they're losing weight

well what's wrong with that the problem is that we have come so far with so many

doctors telling people that oh if you just lose

the weight your diabetes will go away and your knees will feel better and your

back pain will go away and your chronic fatigue will go away if you just lose

that weight but it's not true because the weight is not the thing that caused

those we've started thinking this way and unsuspecting medical doctors just

throw this advice out because they heard it so much themselves but wait does not

cause those things weight is not the cause of anything it's the result of

imbalances in hormones and lifestyle and how do we know this because thin people

are not much healthier it is true the people who are obese have more heart

attacks and more diabetes and so forth but thin people still have them thin

people get heart attacks they get strokes they get cancer they get

rheumatoid arthritis and lupus and and other autoimmune diseases they get

fibromyalgia chronic fatigue syndrome and they even get type 2 diabetes weight

is not the cause of any of this it's the result of other factors and the diseases

are caused by deficiency in my experience these are the five top things

that cause disease one is nutritional deficiencies if your body has to have

something to function and you don't provide it your body is going to get

sick and toxicity your body has a natural detox

system but if you overwhelm it if you constantly pour on bombard the body with

toxins whether they're from the environment or the food or the

combination it gets overwhelmed and you get sick emotional stress is a huge

component of disease because I've done lots of videos to explain those

mechanisms but essentially stress activates your fight/flight system and

shuts off your feed breed your healing system this

disuse use it or lose it if you're a couch potato if you don't use your body for

much it's going to degenerate and get degenerative diseases that of course are

sped up by deficiency toxicity and stress and the final component insulin

is an enormous a huge contributor to disease it's involved in probably 90 to

95 percent of all degenerative disease but it's not the only cause it's a

contributing or maybe the major component of a lot of these diseases but

it's all these different factors that create the disease so when you go and do

keto and you start losing weight the reason

you're losing weight is you're reducing the body's production of insulin which

is a great thing but you're potentially missing out on the other four and if you

do it really poorly then you could even increase the deficiency and the toxicity

and the stress on the body I bet that once you've thought this through and I

talk to patients all the time and I sit down and I do a consultation and I talk

about their health goals and after we've talked about it for a while everyone

everyone agrees that they want to feel good and they want to feel good for a long time

they want to work hard they want to be able to retire and they want to be able

to do something with their lives in those years of retirement so weight loss

is not the goal health and function and feeling good is the goal we've just

become so confused that we think weight loss and health are the same thing but

they're not so some examples of clean versus dirty keto would be clean would

be grass-fed organic butter excellent source of food versus margarine or

something processed some some vegetable oil that has been harshly processed and

deodorized and bleached etc that even if the food that it was made from was a

healthy food originally it's not healthy anymore because it's

been destroyed extra-virgin olive oil versus canola

same thing one is a natural food and the other is a highly processed food that

has been the nutrition the properties that the food originally have is not

there anymore and I've done did a video on that very recently on why processed

food is bad so look at that and understand more about the principles

there because all of that applies to what we're talking about today as well

stevia versus aspartame they're both non-caloric sweeteners but stevia is a

plant extract and aspartame is a neurotoxin it's a synthetic product that

is developed based on pesticide technology grass-fed beef versus beef

jerky so grass-fed beef is a great food beef jerky may or may not be alright if

they did it perfectly healthy and they just dried it with some healthy spices

then it could still be alright as a backup or a snack but a lot of the beef

jerky will have monosodium glutamate and preservatives and artificial flavors and

and aromas and things like that so just understand that it's not just how the

food was from the beginning it's what did they do to it to get it to where it

is now a lot of people want to fry something on occasion and you could do

that even on keto diet if you did a like a pan-fried something you could have a

breading with with nuts for example and you might want to use butter or coconut

oil if you go out to eat and it's fried they're gonna use the equivalent of a

shortening they're gonna use either something that's been artificially

saturated or hydrogenated or they're gonna use a vegetable oil or a peanut

oil or something that has been altered to withstand high heat and then they

don't use it just once they use it multiple multiple times and now it gets

more and more toxic in the process so is there a perfect

way to do it am i doing it perfectly I don't think there's such a thing but the

more we understand the better we can do it so I do most things organic I do

almost all animal products grass-fed and organic but on occasion I'm traveling I

go out someplace and then I do the best I can so are you better off doing dirty

than eating the standard American diet yeah sure because at least you're

reducing insulin but then you learn and you learn and you learn and you get

better and better and over time you figure out where can I find these things

which one is the most important to get organic and grass-fed and where can I

source these where can i buy these things affordably so as you practice as

you learn as you ask for things in the stores they become available so five

years ago you wouldn't dream of going to Walmart for organic beef or grass-fed

butter and now they have them they don't not just have them but they have them at

some of the best prices anywhere so the world is changing and as you learn as

you ask for things that you get better at shopping you'll get better and better

and better and will you ever get perfect probably not but you get better and you

do the best you can so when people say that don't worry just do in Quito any

old way then don't listen to them because I don't believe that your only

goal is weight loss I think that you want to feel good and be healthy in the

long run so please share this video and let us help people get this message out
