Over 75 percent of the foods that we see in our supermarkets are processed foods but what does that mean? (Previous video in Keto series https://bit.ly/KetoFoodLabels) It means that the food industry the food giants create the foods out of the raw materials. During this process additives are introduced to either preserve them or make them taste better. Over the last 75 years food has been driven by profit. Processed foods are made to be purposefully addictive - let that sink in for a second ... The industry uses agents called 'repeat appeal agents', which means that you're addicted to the taste, the sugar or other additives like mono sodium glutamate and you come back and you buy more. The food industry is required to identify all the ingredients on the food label but unless you have a degree in biochemistry it can be hard to find out exactly what is in the package. You need to understand the ingredients to know if the food is fit for ketosis or for general health but the industry hides ingredients on the food label with deceptive names and technical terms. Fortunately with a bit of knowledge you can decipher the labels and find out exactly the correct nutrition that you need for a healthy keto diet. Mono sodium glutamate tricks our brain into thinking that we're eating something savory, something really nice tasting, which is obviously healthy. NSG has been linked to cardiovascular problems and it also over excites the neurons in the brain leading to some forms of brain damage. In the eighties the health impact was considered so severe that mono sodium glutamate was removed from processed food. Also we found that industry simply renamed it and added it in other forms. Mono sodium glutamate is produced during some manufacturing processes of certain ingredients that go into our food. Due to this bogus technicality it doesn't have to be called MSG on the food labels. It's labeled as the original substance that was put into the food before it was processed. This means consumers have no idea that MSG is in the food they are eating. Anything enzyme modified, anything protein fortified, calcium carbonate, calcium glutamate, potassium glutamate, soy protein concentrate, soy sauce extract, textured protein, whey, protein isolate and yeast extract - these are all of the names for MSG. Next time you're out shopping take a look at a few labels and see how many you can spot. MSG isn't the only addictive substance added to processed foods. Sugar is another one that keeps people coming back for more. People are secretly addicted to sugar. Naturally, human beings are not greedy. We are simply addicted to the sugar that is put into our food without our knowledge. The food industry claims that its consumer choice. We decide what we eat but this would only be true if it was free choice and if we had all the information at hand. How are we meant to stay informed when food labelling purposefully hides sugar for the success of ketosis and sticking to that Keto diet? Sugar is definitely off the menu. It would be good if every food package had a label saying this product is full of sugar but it's really not like that. Ingredients are listed on the label in order of size, so the biggest ingredient is the first and then the second is the next biggest. Sugar will often be listed multiple times, three, four, five or even more. Different types of sugar could be used in one product and often are. Sugars are hidden under this long list of names you see on the screen. Manufacturers claim that sugar is required to make the food last longer and also to change the texture into something more edible. This is not true. Sugar is added to make us addicted to the food so that we buy more and we eat more. Unbiased research studies show that overconsumption of sugar is related to cancer, both creating cancer and promoting it when it arrives. Let's break down a typical food label that you'll find on a processed food package in the supermarket. Keep in mind that over 76 percent of all the processed foods you will find there have added sugars and so are therefore not good for ketosis and the keto diet. Look at the serving size indicated on the package and manufacturer may make this serving size unrealistically small so that it looks healthier. Very often you'll find that a serving size is not nearly enough. We sometimes eat 2, 3, 4 times the amount recommended. Make sure the amount you eat if you buy this product is similar to the serving they suggest. The calorific value of food is the energy released when it's burned in a special oven in a laboratory. Your body is not an oven. It can be a useful measure especially if you want to lose weight, but it's much better to use your own macro calculations, as we'll see in a later video. The percentage daily value is how much ayou re eating based on a recommended daily guides. However, guidelines you find on the Internet or on the label are heavily influenced by the food industry. Also keep in mind some saturated fats specifically coconut are great for you. The vitamins they recommend will help keep you alive for sure but they may not help you thrive. Trans fats are much less healthy. Avoid these totally. You need cholesterol to make specific hormones but there are natural sources like eggs and these are much better than processed foods. Of course you need to keep an eye on this if you already have raised cholesterol levels. Sodium or salt count is useful if you are a low sodium diet because high levels of salt can elevate your blood pressure. That sodium is definitely needed for the Keto diet. Total Carbohydrates is the most important bit of the label from a Keto perspective and the total is made up of several elements. Carbohydrates from fiber are good. They feed your intestinal bacteria and not you. They do not count as carbs. Onn keto you definitely want to avoid carbohydrates from sugar. There are a lot of carbs which are neither fiber or sugar but they still count. These could be starch or other forms of carbohydrates Very often net carbohydrates does not appear on food labels as a figure. Take the total carbohydrates and subtract the carbs from fiber. We also need to keep track of protein when we're entering ketosis and a Ketogenic diet indicates that we need to track this protein macro for the Keto diet. You need to be careful and avoid all sugars, so you need to learn to be a label detective or even better, avoid processed and packaged foods and instead choose fresh food that doesn't need a label. Be especially careful when you're dealing with processed foods that are labeled as healthy or diet. Very often they're anything but you need to use your newly found detective skills to find out exactly what's inside the food.. Take a look at these ingredients for a favorite American snack called a Twinkie. See how much sugar mono sodium glutamate and other additives you can find as a food detective.

Exactly What Is Ketosis? The Science Behind The Keto Diet For Health. Our human body cells can either burn sugar or fat for creating energy that we need. In this video we're going to go a little bit deeper in what actually happens inside the cells. Inside each cell there are two to three thousand organelles called mitochondria whose job it is to break down molecules of food to create the energy we need to live. You can think of them as an energy factory, an assembly line. Raw materials go into the cell by being absorbed through the cells membrane, and energy is produced by the mitochondria. Actually, this process could be called a disassembly line, because larger molecules are broken down into smaller ones for nutrients. When a cell Burns sugar - cells can burn either sugar or fat and they are very good at flipping from one to the other, which served our ancestors very well. When cells burn sugar certain toxic by-products are produced, namely lactate, acetate, ethanol. Acid is also produced. Normally the liver cleans out these toxins and they are eliminated from the body. Generations ago the sugar burning season would pass and the toxins would be eliminated more thoroughly during the season when the cells burn fat. However, if the body continues to use sugar in excessive amounts continuously the waste by-products accumulate and eventually damage the mitochondria by starving them of oxygen. The damaged mitochondria make less and less energy until they cannot function at all, and trigger inflammation and disease. This is an invisible process that seriously harms our health, after decades of eating the wrong things. Now let's look at the cell metabolizing fat for energy. There are no toxic byproducts. It is simply a clean process. It is therefore much more efficient at creating energy. There are no waste products to overload the liver or to clog up the veins, arteries and capillaries. We all have a choice about what we eat. But it's not so easy to make this choice if we don't have the correct information to guide us in the next lecture. You will find that all foods are not what they seem. We need to look at the way that foods are presented in the supermarkets and what the labels tell us. #keto #ketosis #weightloss #dietplan #health

In the last video (https://bit.ly/KetosisBasics) we learned that our bodies are much happier and we are healthier if our cells burn fat instead of sugar. General recommendations are that we can put our body in ketosis if we eat the food groups in the following proportions: 50 percent from fat, 30 percent from protein and 20 percent from carbohydrates. These numbers aren't fixed and they will fluctuate for each individual depending on their metabolism. The normal Western diet has the following recommended proportions: 50 percent from carbohydrates, 30 percent from protein and just 20 percent or less from fat. There's obviously a big difference here with the standard Western diet, giving almost exactly the opposite proportions to those required for maximum health. So how did this occur? In the seventies many western countries adopted nutritional guidelines. In these guidelines it was proposed to eat certain foods in the proportions that we see on the slide, which are really exactly opposite to that required for maximum health on the left. This model very quickly became the mainstay of the Dogma surrounding nutrition. A dogma is a prevailing accepted truth that is thought to be self evident and is never really questioned. The first two levels are massively loaded with sugar, for carbohydrates in bread cereals potatoes or metabolized into sugar. Recent research is showing us that overconsumption of sugar is directly responsible for illnesses such as diabetes and cancer. In effect we are gradually poisoning ourselves from an early age promoting addictions to foods that make us obese and create all kinds of illness. It's more correct to call these illnesses 'symptoms' because they are symptoms of something wrong with our body, the way that it's working, and the body is compensating the best way that it can by producing disease. The food pyramid for ketosis is very different and reflects the recommended portions of the food groups when following the Keto diet. You may have heard of the Keto diet which is primarily promoted for profit as a weight loss regime. It does indeed promote weight loss but its effect on the human body goes far beyond the physically visible. The end effect of the diet is that the body's cells burn predominantly fat, which doesn't produce waste products like sugar burning does. Waste products destroy mitochondria, promote inflammation and cause disease. You need to become a food detective in fact and become more aware of what it says on the labels and what is inside the foods that we see on the supermarket shelves. Obviously meat with hormones, plants with insecticide sprays but there are also hidden dangers in many of the so-called healthy food packages that we buy every single day. The biggest part of the equation is to drastically reduce sugars and carbs. Carbohydrates metabolize into sugar and overconsumption of either will ensure that our cells never burn fat, even when it's available. A vast amount of so-called healthy food is filled with carbohydrates and sugars. #ketofoods #keto #ketogenic #ketosis #ketodiet #dietplan
