well, it ur eating all fat and no carbs, at the end of the day, ur body has to use energy from somewhere, right? glucose is our bodys main fuel, so regardless if you dont give it carbs or not, ur body will make glucose of the stores it has, usually, from fat, or glycogen which is stored glucose in your body but is only stored for a limite period, but its a secondary energy as first one is fats held in adipose tissue. so with a few words, its ok if you dont eat carbs, but since almost all foods contain carbs, then eatign small amounts of carbs through the day is still ok. as for ketones, ketones are one thing, and a ketogenic diet is another thing, so jeff has to do some chemistry homework, a ketone can be lots of things. so to be honest and clear, it all depends on the results you want, the body you want, the training you do and your daily life, to make the body you want. for me, because m busy all day, i eat moderately high glycemic index foods so i can have big energy spikes through out the day, which doesnt make me tired. i rarely eat rice and i prefer brown bread and fruits for my carbs, rarely eat brown rice but it feels me for a long time, so i avoid that because i dont want to be filled up for a long time, im busy. so it all depends on what you want guys. sports science is a pseudo science to me, all you need to know is the basics and what works for you, peace

I normally revere your information and agree with 97% if it. BUT, YOU are dead wrong on this topic. I am also a trainer. I was also against Atkins when I first heard about it. But I was part of a study at the hospital I used to work, which put 1, 700 people on Atkins diet. Their triglycerides went down, and good cholesterol went up, and they felt great after the first two weeks. I have been using Atkin's ever since, and I am more muscular than you Jeff (But not nearly as cut, and a lot older. When you go on Atkin's, you ONLY feel a loss of energy for the first week or two at the most. Then you feel a great energy once your body adjusts, NO PAIN (Because pain comes from the inflammation of sugar) and you can build muscle very well. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ESSENTIAL CARBOHYDRATE! IT DOESN'T EXIST. But, there is such things as essential fats and proteins. Sorry, but I've been doing this for more than 30 years now, and low carb is the MOST healthy diet anyone can be on. Carbohydrates kill the body can cause diseases! And soy is one of the worst things you can put into your body!

I reduced my carbs by a large extent, kept my protein intake the same as before, i realized that i was loosing muscle and looked flat, imagining i was gonna get shredded soon. I noticed my workout performance drop down drastically, and it felt as if i had very little strength. My body looked 60% ripped, I was happy but soon realized that i was loosing muscle. My workouts got weaker and sucked out most of my energy. I was very happy to see my 60% ripped body, but every time i saw myself in the mirror, the muscles looked smaller and smaller. FLAT! again as JEFF mentioned. In someways i was happy but in the back of my head I wasn't so confident about what i wanted to see. Now I have doubled my carb intake. and hope to see better results. What im afraid of is bulking up!

No you're wrong I used to weigh 260 now I weigh 170 I've been on a low carb high fat diet since September of 2017 I have plenty of energy I started lifting weights I am 58 years old I've not see my app since my was in my twenties now I see my apps the keto diet work for me I can bench 250 lb and deadlift 125 to 150 so something's working tell me what I used to be type 2 diabetic high blood pressure and all that's one away since I've done the ketogenic diet so something's working besides eating carbs and sugar and intermittent fasting which my growth hormones help me build leaner muscles and I'm ripped since I use more than I was when I was playing football is back in the seventies

He speaks like its the only way to diet! -You HAVE to have carbs- which is false.
Much of the 60's and 70s bodybuilders were using a ketogenic diet to cut down for an upcoming show (Larry Scott per example, who was following Vince Gironda's advice, advocated a very low carb diet for show prep) and many of them even stayed on the diet year round, with refeeds days every now and then. I'm not saying a ketogenic diet is better, of course it has its advantages (which I think outweighs the disadvantages) but I want people to know that there are many ways to diet and they can all work if followed properly.

This fu--ing carbophoby has kept me in a years-long limbo of low to zero carb, daily training draining my energy, cortisol issues, weight rebound, calories reduced to less than my tdee and still fattening/low energy. Introduced carbs back, keeping fats to minimum and proteins the same (2gr/lb) and boom: doubled volumes and losing fat. Problem is that today only the vegans defend carbs and the keto zealots on the other camp defend animal food but demonize the carbs. Both cults bring serious throubles in the long run. Carbs+animal proteins are the best fuel for sport!

I love your content and have considered your program. Mainly because I got respect for your no bull shit factual approach. Until today that it is. You briefly skipped over keytones and were dismissive of their energy potential. I train on a Ketogenic diet and it is only in the adaptation phase that your power suffers. Overall there is way more energy available than you can get from carbs once adapted. A little disappointed you haven't done your research on that front.

I'm still soo confused wether to start eating more carbs or just stay on a low carb diet. I've made great gains, but my lifts are kinda staying the same. Then again I don't exactly train for strength. I just eat carbs when I wake up, and maybe for post-meal, and maybe a couple cups of coffee throughout the day. At most slightly over 100gs daily. I just wanna shed more bodyfat, will eating more carbs help? I wouldn't think so. -

thank you jeff. i was on the carnivore diet that's been getting popular these days for about 2 years and felt like shit. eating carbs completely vanished all the energy problems i was having on the carni diet. i was brainwashed that the carbs are the worst for human health, but i'm pretty sure it's essential. if you wanna actually feel good. this video killed the fear for the carbs.
