Any favorite YouTube personalities that give good keto advice? Whose videos should I avoid?

#61

I like her, and ya no on the coffee… I drink it for everyone else’s sake!.. she eats butter so how is that not dairy I’ve wondered lol… she seems extremely knowledgeable and I’ve often thought of having her consult me if I don’t get fat adapted in the next month or so

(linda) #62

Excellent point-she explains butter is different with some convoluted answer --that sounds impressive. And insists on Kerygold grass fed which is totally cool with me.
Re Being fat adapted - the difference she made with me was to have me up my fat intake to 200grams a day and you will break into the zone in no time! Good Luck :slight_smile:

i agree, Butter Bob does a wonderful job of explaining the science in an accessible way.

(Allie) #64

Oh Butter Bob is so cool!

Thank you so much for the luck. Honestly Im still looking for my elusive sweet spot…just changed my macros yet again, nothing like trial and error. One of my favorite quotes truly applies to my keto journey: “I have not failed. I’ve just found 10,000 ways that won’t work.” - Thomas A. Edison

I agree @Bellyman.

I do see MANY very unhealthy (at least in appearance) vegans and members of other dietary “religious groups”

I stopped watching Keto Connect because Matt comes off as very condescending and I feel like they jumped on the keto train as a cash grab. Plus neither he nor Megha were ever overweight and I don’t feel they can truly advise someone like me.

I like the channels that focus on cooking; Cooking Keto With Kristie, Highfalutin Low Carb, Ketoginja, DotToTrot, and Headbanger’s Kitchen.

I prefer to listen to scientists in the field well qualified to interpret results and who fully disclose their conflicts of interest. I listen to medical practitioners with direct experience who talk about that experience instead of generalizing. I’ll listen to everybody else when they are talking about their direct personal experience.

One thing I have not heard medical practioners discussing is their success rate. By that I mean, what percent of the people walking into their offices for the first time end up adhering to recommendations then losing weight, normalizing blook sugar, etc.

Sometimes the scientists become to biased about their own views so they tend to neglect caveats or fine points that the public should consider. In particular, dwelling on ultra endurance fitness and ignoring strength fitness bothers me. Ultra endurance is a tiny part of the fitness world.

Another thing to look for is interviewers who do NOT inject their personal views into the interview. The time should be for the guest to present his views. The British interviewers on youtube seem to be much better at that than the american ones.

In general what I want to hear is first hand experiences, scientific, medical, or personal. Don’t tell me what I should do, tell me what you do or your test subjects or patients do.

I’m in my bunker, under my desk, with my arms over my head! :metal::metal::metal:

Yeah, the way to get on their podcast is to send them free stuff and then they interview you and promote said products. I mean, at least they say they got the free stuff, but I am pretty convinced this isn’t ethics talking, it’s having no idea that it could ever be an ethical issue.

That and the general cluelessness and stupid voice at the start of the show :slight_smile:

OK, back to the bunker :slight_smile:

(Running from stupidity) #70

Nice idea, but hard to quantify I suspect.

TBF, this is more of a reflection of the media in those countries in general, so isn’t surprising.

(charlie3) #71

The medical people know how many patients have had success. All they need to do is tell us. I get asked, how did you do that! I tell them, exercise, real food, minimal to no carbs, 6 days a week of two meals, one day of no eating, etc. So far everybody blinks. It sounds more extreme than it is but there is some time involved. Life changes.

A few other things change. Part of my employment includes hand tools. That’s spilling over into food preparation. I got premium stainless measuring spoons. Tomorrow evening there will be first rate measuing cups and a garlic press on the front porch. If you told me 10 years ago I’d be buying such things I’d have laughed out loud.

Maybe Thomas DeLauer.

(Diana Rutecki) #73

Dr Boswell and her book as good as it gets. She is a specialist MD and is looking after cancer patients and her mum with the Keto, fasting, autophagy healing process.

(Edith) #74

I totally agree with this. When the interviewer spends too much time commenting on, reiterating, or interjecting themselves into what their guest is saying, it is a big turn off.

That’s one reason I like Brett Sher, the Low Carb Cardiologist. He lets his guests talk. Unfortunately, he has not any any new podcasts for some time.

#75

Yes he has. Bret Scher now works with the Diet Doctor website. He does a fortnightly-ish podcast for their website (and also accessible on YouTube).

Dr. Fung is the bomb. I am in love.

Amy Berger has a YouTube channel now. I think she’s great - love her blog too, for the more in-depth stuff (http://www.tuitnutrition.com/).

(Stickin' with mammoth) #79

I watch:

Ivor Cummins
Jeff Volek
Stephen Phinney
Peter Attia
Russ Scala
Tim Noakes
Robert Lustig
Gary Taubes
Sarah Hallberg
Nina Teicholz
Eric Westman
Shawn Baker
Ben Bikman
Ken D. Barry
Phil Escott
Eric Berg
Amber O’Hearn
Peter Ballerstedt
Lierre Keith
David Getoff
Weston A. Price
Dom D’ Agostino
sv3rige’s interviews

The last one is pronounced “SVAH-ee-yeh” and is “Sweden” in Swedish.

He has a huge compilation of low-key interviews he conducted with ex-vegans that blew my mind because nearly all of them experienced EXACTLY the same symptoms I had on that diet, and the same friction from the vegan counterculture in general.

All different ages, countries, backgrounds, intentions–he just turns on a camera and lets them talk. By the end of the interview, every single one came to the same conclusion: They improved immediately on keto. Powerful stuff. Hard to disregard “anecdotal evidence” when they are legion.

I avoid:

Frank Tufano
Vegetable Police
Jordan Peterson
Primal Edge Health
Jimmy Moore
Basically, anyone who’s makin’ love to the camera and getting off on the sound of their own voice. They may have salient information but it’s hard to concentrate upon when I want to punch my computer screen.

This is a very helpful thread, thanks all! Thanks to @uma for the Head anger’s Kitchen recommend, he’s great!

I also enjoy recipes and personal moments, and for that I really like Sugarless Crystals, who does recipes, recipe comparisons and sort of a personal vlog. I especially like that he’s fairly picky and can say exactly why he doesn’t like something. It has saved me from some (maybe) not great eats.
