Not So Serious Keto Video Podcast #1 - Dr. Oz, Soybean Oil, and Breaking Keto

This is my first video podcast. Think of it as an audio podcast (lots of me talking) with some video (mostly of me talking). I'll be discussing keto related topics that are in the news, discussing frequently asked questions from my viewers, and sometimes talking about some non-keto stuff (but probably cooking related).

In this episode, I'll talk about Dr. Oz's suggestion that we "cancel breakfast", a recent University of California Riverside study on soybean oil, and my experiences with breaking (and staying in) ketosis.

Like you Steve, I was a corporate trainer for the bulk of my career. During my career I traveled 50 weeks a year for 10+ years. I have my go to items for airports, hotels and tips for eating out.

1. Eggs are awesome but beware of the scrambled eggs. Order “gluten free” to ensure pancake batter is left out.
2. Airports always have nuts. Perfect keto bars for emergency make it through security fine.
3. Grab bard boiled eggs off hotel buffet and put in your room fridge.
4. If your hotel room doesn’t have a mini fridge, ask for one to be brought up. Tell them you have a medical condition and need to store medicine. This way they will not charge you. Your keto food is your medicine and you are allergic to being obese. See, no lying involved...being obese makes you legitimately sick.
5. Protein, low carb veggie, butter. Skip the bread basket. Salads can get crazy with soybean oil dressings and surprise sugars. Nice steak, broccoli, butter. This can be done on any menu including Italian.
6. Whole Foods or similar....hit up this type of grocery when you land or headed to hotel. Olive bar, check. Cheese isle, check. Precut veggies, check. Sour cream based dip, check. Single serve bone broth to heat in micro.Grilled meats precooked, lunch meat, prewashed romain hearts to wrap it up.
7. Of you are feeling weak, rely on a chain restaurant you know you can eat at. I know Chili’s has a steak with two side I can pick with butter than will fall within my expense report allowance and will fill me up and get me past a meal until I feel stronger. Find your chain and save local exploration for a day you are stronger.
8. Pack k cups you love. I splurge on a flavored few that I love that have no carbs and travel with them. I can get hot water anywhere and run it through a pod even if there isn’t a machine. Many hotel rooms have them now. Sometimes coffee will save me.
9. Sparking water at airport. If I am going to spend $3 on a water I will
Often switch to Perrier or the like. The bubbles will fill me up, and I can sometimes find a flavored version.
10. High Key “oatmeal” keto breakfast. Single portion into ziplock. Add hot water. Sometimes you need an egg break at breakfast. I do this as an afternoon snack too as many break rooms on the road have hot water.

My best for traveling is to order as if you have an allergy. Just because flour doesn’t give you a life and death allergy doesn’t mean you aren’t “allergic” to it. You legitimately have a reaction to it. Insulin resistance. Ordering for your allergy is self preservation and you need not explain to anyone else beyond that statement. You are worth treating your food as if your life depends on it.

Why is it that the common public think of Keto as a cult, or dangerous? I had lost over 40 lbs, and my brother-in-law said I looked really good and asked what I was doing. I said I was practicing IF and doing Keto. As soon as I said Keto, his wife said, "Oh my God! Keto is so bad for you. A friend of our decided to do Keto and after two months she had a stroke. I would never do Keto in my life."


I wanted to say, "That stroke wasn't from Keto." Instead, I did what any sane person would do. I replied with, "Wow. That sucks." And I moved the conversation along.

I like your content so I subscribed. But what really sealed the deal was that awesome news anchor voice you possess.

[GlockSFmm]

Even if a mayo says Olive Oil on it's banner label it will likely have other oils as well, including soybean oil. Check the ingredient list.

[gretchenbond]

Sir Kensington's Avocado Mayo is awesome! It's organic and has no added sugars. 100% avocado oil.
I can't believe Best Foods/Hellmann's hasn't jumped on this wagon.

[cookshackcuisinista]

I absolutely love your approach to it all! Keto/low carb is a lifestyle and there are days where you will "stray" a little, but one small portion of something is not permission for the "oh well I went and did it now so I might as well eat everything in sight!" The ketogenic lower carb way of eating is LIBERTY!

'Breaking keto' depends on why you follow keto. If it's not just about body weight, the implications can be very different. The inflammatory, mood destroying, brain fuddling effects of breaking keto can be soul destroying. I can he back in keto within a couple of days but it takes at least two weeks (and possibly longer) to bounce back from the whole-of-body issues

[dianegaus]

You are SO right! Ate junk food during December and the joint/inflammation pain was just horrible. So glad to be back in Keto and pain free again.

[ConspiracyMystic]

Keto Chat with Steve. Loved this. I never realized how inflamed I was until I broke keto, and went back a year or so ago. It's amazing what the average person thinks is normal. #Keto4Life

[peggyfitzmaurice]

I will follow you no matter what you call your podcast❤️

[johs]

Seriously love and appreciate all you are doing for the rest of us . So much hard work and dedication makes it doable for someone like me!

[adelkamolcan]

Starting at the beginning. It's like taking a fun roller coaster ride (following your journey) or reading a good book on food and our health/how it effects our body. Always engaging. Thank you for your hard work of putting your videos and podcasts together!

[Sedona]

I think keep Serious Keto adding pod cast # it will make it easy for followers to find you

I just returned from a lodge retreat long weekend with a group where there were set menus, ever changing meal times, probably 80 percent of the menus were not even remotely Keto friendly; many many desserts and snacks of every description out and available all the time. I took some Keto bars (I use very occasionally!) and nuts to tide me over any rough spots. I got through the weekend quite well in spite of the challenges. And took some flak for actually skipping a meal and all the evening snacks. I didn't disappear but socialized with everyone else just without a plate or bowl of whatever. What helped a lot was the discovery that there was one other person there who had just started Keto recently, and they were glad I stuck with it, so you never know!

[irenew]

I'm over 60 I have watched Dr.Oz I have tried some of the things he said and none of it works... so now I don't waste my time with him....

[belizeguy]

Glad you are back!! I will face this when Hubby and I head to the USA for our son's Wedding in March. We will be gone for 9 days and there are a few dishes very non Keto, (Shrimp and Grits, I am looking at YOU!), that I will enjoy and get back at it when we return home. Thanks for the overview.

[healthyandketo]

What about calling this "Keto, Seriously". I love your videos.

[LynetteYoung]

My grandmother swore that whole garlic cloves soaked in grain alcohol cured arthritis. She was hammered, and I'm sure feelin' fine!

[deborahwhite]

I like that you are real! Yes, vacations happen, parties happen, holidays happen and now we all know that when we start feeling “less than we did” it’s time to get back to keto and for the average days of our lives...keto rocks!

[suedubicki]

I eat breakfast and a 2:00 or 3:00 lunch/dinner, then fast till the next morning. I fast 18 to 20 hours. This works for me.
