00:17so much easier and so much more fun if you do it with a friend so feel free to
00:21share this video with someone and say hey let's keto together now this video is
00:26going to be about the seven very first steps to converting from the standard
00:32American diet or the standard Western diet over to the healthy ancestrally
00:37appropriate ketogenic diet and so I'm going to keep this video very very
00:42simple and very basic I have many other videos about the ketogenic way of eating
00:47on this channel I have a whole playlist called keto 101 and so if you're brand
00:52new to this and you want to learn how to keto properly keto 101 is the resource
00:58you want to check out so let's go through the seven steps of starting the keto
01:03diet step number one is to remove all sugars of all kinds from your diet there
01:10are so many people who know that sugar in the sugar bowl and and sugar that they
01:15add to their coffee that's bad for you we all know that the sugar in donuts the
01:19sugar and pastries all that stuff's bad for you you know that but a lot of
01:23people think that the sugar in organic agave nectar is good for them but it's
01:27not it's just sugar a lot of people think that locally sourced organically
01:33produced honey is very good for you I don't believe it is at all I think it's
01:37nothing but sucrose and fructose which are sugars and so all of that stuff needs to
01:43be taken out of your diet whether the food manufacturer added the sugar or the
01:48restaurant added the sugar or you added the sugar it's still sugar it all needs
01:53to go that's step one and that's that's honestly the most important step many
01:58people just by going and doing step one they'll start to feel better immediately
02:03that's how powerful step one is step two is almost as powerful and that is to
02:07remove all grains from your diet and so the most common grains would be wheat rice
02:14oats corn all those need to go none of those are contain any nutrition that you
02:20can't get better from another source all of them are very inflammatory to your gut
02:26some people have immediate obvious inflammation if they grains other people
02:30the inflammation is much more subtle it may not show up in the gut it may show up
02:34as inflammation in a joint or inflammation in the skin but to be it to be a on a
02:40truly healthy ketogenic diet you have to remove all grains from your diets and
02:46now that obviously includes the grains in processed foods that you would get in a
02:50cardboard box or a plastic bag but it also includes organic stone ground grains as
02:57well grains in order for them to be healthy for human beings to eat it all
03:01have to go through a multi-step process of soaking and sprouting before they're
03:07even remotely healthy for human beings I would say let's just dispense with all
03:12that trouble and not eat grains it's very easy to do there's still thousands of
03:16foods you can enjoy on a ketogenic diet so step two get rid of all the grains
03:22step three is to remove all factory seed oils or vegetable seed oils from your
03:28diets now the manufacturers love to call these vegetable oils even though there are
03:33no vegetables in these oils these are canola oil which comes from a rapeseed
03:39plant this is corn oil this is soybean oil this is safflower this is peanut oil
03:45all of these have a terrible omega-6 to omega-3 ratio they're all
03:51inflammatory in nature they're going to inflame your gut or other parts of your
03:55body also all margarine needs to go in the garbage don't even give that to your
04:00neighbor all shortening vegetable shortening can Crisco country croc I
04:07can't believe it's not butter all that's crap you need to throw that away you need
04:11and don't eat that ever again even if you stop keto please never eat industrial
04:17factory processed seed oils again they're very bad for your body that's step three
04:22step four is you have to stop being afraid of good healthy fats this would
04:28include butter ghee bacon grease beef tallow avocado oil olive oil these are
04:36natural oils that you don't have to go to a factory to get you can actually make
04:40these oils in your own home with the raw supplies and so obviously those are much
04:46more ancestrally appropriate our ancestors have made oils from these
04:50sources for hundreds and even thousands of years they're very easy to do they
04:54don't involve any high heat in chemicals in hexane any detergents any of that kind
05:00of stuff you just make the oil from the the oily source right so stop being afraid
05:06of these fats these fats are not going to lower your HDL they're not going to raise
05:12your triglycerides they're not going to raise your a1c they're only going to move
05:16your markers for chronic disease in the right direction okay step number five is to
05:23stop being afraid of salt salt is good for you all mammals from the smallest to the
05:29largest love salt and need salt there is a reason that animals will walk miles to
05:36lick on a salty rock and that's because all mammals need salt if you prick your
05:42finger and you taste the blood it's very very salty that's okay that's normal we are salty
05:48creatures okay stop being afraid of salt now I want you to not just thoughtlessly
05:53use the table salt that comes out of the umbrella girl container don't
05:57thoughtlessly use the salt that they give you at the restaurant because they're
06:01gonna buy the cheapest variety they can find use a good quality rock salt that's
06:06been mined from deep under the ground that's the safest and it has the most
06:09minerals okay and I'll put a link down below to a salt just like that the next
06:14step is to eat whole real foods the ketogenic way of eating is becoming very
06:20popular and therefore people are starting to make keto products keto bars keto
06:26shakes keto powders keto ready-made meals yeah okay that's probably better than
06:32eating a Snickers bar but how about we just follow step six and focus on eating
06:38real whole foods that don't have a label right because if you buy a t-bone it's
06:44just beef that's it there's no added nothing else right if you just buy
06:48broccoli then it's broccoli that's a that's a real whole food and so for at
06:53least a few first few months of your ketogenic journey I want you to really
06:57focus on step six which is eating real whole ketogenic foods okay and then step
07:03seven is that you have to mind your electrolytes you have to make sure you're
07:09getting plenty of sodium plenty of chloride plenty of magnesium and plenty of
07:14potassium these are very important they're vital for your good health they're
07:19vital to keep you from having keto flu they're vital for helping you feel your
07:23best now 50,000 years ago we got all the minerals we need from from drinking
07:28water out of streams and rivers and lakes and all those mineral those water
07:34sources are rich in minerals but I wouldn't recommend drinking those these
07:37days you can just get a good product that has all four in them or you can buy
07:42several cheap products that have them in them individually not put a link down
07:47below to the electrolytes I use and so those are the first seven steps this is
07:53very simple and if you follow these steps and check out my keto 101 series
