Hi! Welcome to my Healthy Hunnies family.


In this video, I am debunking the ketogenic diet! First I’m talking about why keto seems to “work” - AKA why people lose weight on a keto diet and are lean and shredded! Here are some of the reasons why it “works”… losing water weight, cutting out junk foods, and calorie restriction! Annnnd then we talk about the dangers of the keto, including gastro issues like diarrhea, nausea, constipation… kidney stones, brain fog, hair loss, osteoporosis, slowed metabolism, & more! The most optimal diet for humans is a whole foods, plant based diet based on starch! Starches, vegetables, fruits, and legumes! We are not carnivores! Vegan for the win baby!
Here are the studies I talk about:
I am not here to attack anyone and I live by the saying, “To each his own.” I have just been asked about this diet and to make a video about it!

I wish I had this video months ago... I can’t wait to send this to some woman I work with.
I don’t know much about the keto diet but when co workers tell me that they can’t eat certain fruits & veggies on this diet... I knew RIGHT AWAY this was NOT OK!!!
I’m so glad you spoke up!!!

If you could give me strong evidence that high carb diet will bring down my A1C because I'm type 2 diabetic, I would consider your food plan. As soon as I eat whole grain breads, rice, potatoes, legumes, fruit more than one eg. Orange a day or a few berries, my blood sugars go through the roof. I've been on Keto for 3 months and slowly lost 20 pounds but the important factor is only having 20 grams of carbs a day, my blood sugars are doing heaps better and I've come off insulin, only taking some oral meds. I believe if I lose another 50 pounds, I will reverse my diabetes. Bucket loads of scientific facts to support this.
I actually hate the Keto diet and its restrictions but for my diabetes (62 y.o female) it's making a difference! Please reply and prove how plant based can reverse my diabetes eating carbs. Thankyou

I did keto after I had my baby and before I turned vegan and lost a lot weight, but it was definitely not sustainable as it was very costly, I’ve since turn to WFPB and it’s so much more sustainable and so cheap! Love it

THANK YOU SO MUCH. Such a great video. Just found you on you tube and IG and love your videos. Been plant based vegan for 8 years and vegetarian for 33 years before that and absolutely love being plant based vegan. A friend tried keto and had so many health problems. I tried to warn him but he wouldn’t listen. I finally sent him a video from Dr. Gregor and he got it. I will send him this video also. Thank you again for this video.

I really want to see Emmie and a Keto supporter go at it in a sit down convo

Wonderful video! I am already WFPB, but it's awesome that you included links to the scientific studies for those who like to read further. Evidence based nutrition is a solid foundation in the wave of weight loss fads and trends.

Could you suggest a vegan diet for someone suffering from histamine intolerance?

I'm on the vegan low fat high carb train but I just have to say that keto diet does cause weight loss that is fat, and that you don't have to be in starvation to go into ketosis. You do drop water weight initially but In about 3 days without carbohydrates, we've depleted our body of its glycogen stores and our body's defense mechanism is to switch to using fat for fuel. So you use body fat and dietary fat for fuel. 4 years ago before I was vegan I did the keto diet and I was tracking my body fat, and much like I eat now was eating intuitively, but eating high fat and lost a significant amount of fat and spared muscle which was great. I don't advocate for the diet however because I don't believe in eating animals for one and because although I looked great I felt crummy and had low energy.

Someone I know who is doing keto told me how bad apples are for the liver. I was so dumbfounded that I just said, and walked away...
Excellent presentation Emmie! 😘

Hey, Healthy Emmie, I have been following your channel for a while, and I think that what you say makes sense. I am also following another Vlog, and they maintain wait by eating nothing for up to 30 days straight, only drinking lots of water, and they talk about reaching the state of Ketosis, and dropping a lot of weight. What do you think of this diet? Also, a friend of mine who at 80 years has the body of a 35 year old said she has to eat some meat, because she says vegans develop yellow skin, and watching this video tonight I couldn't help notice that the palms of your hands seemed very yellow. What is your response to these questions?

So glad I found your videos! I’ve been doing HCLF life for years but this past year has been so stressful I strayed and was looking a lot into Keto as an option. I thought maybe I needed a change in habits. It seems so popular at the moment. But I have to say that is exactly that....just a fad. My problem was that I found myself eating a lot unhealthy low-fat vegan foods. Aka candy and pretzels and sugary drinks. Not enough exercise either. Your channel is inspirational and motivational!!!

Loved this! my mum has been looking into the Keto diet and I tried to explain why it was so bad for your health, but this outlines the reasons so well, I've sent the video to her, hopefully it changes her mind🤞♥️

[savanagh]

[charlotteburford]

Why don't people get the Message? When it's so very clear. It's frustrating! I do not believe people on a keto diet are genuinely happy with cutting out carbs and starving themselves...I believe they are happy with the WEIGHT LOSS. Which you can have eating high carbs and not starving yourself!

[davidthescottishvegan]

Excellent video. I don't fellow fad diet such as the keto diet (animal based or vegan) I do eat a Whole plants foods based diet with no animal products included.

[JessicaBurgo]

Oh god I have so many clients who are obsessed with FAD diets and I try to explain why I also don’t recommend Keto... just sending them this link

Very interesting & informative video, great job 🙂👍❤.

I've had a couple of friends use the keto diet & I agree with you that is quite unbalanced. The strange thing is though that now they've come off the diet, they seem to be craving suger.

Do you think that is the body trying to restock it's glucose levels?.

For me personally variety & moderation is the key when it comes to food. The only restriction I make is gluten free due to medical reasons. But other than that, plenty of veggies/fruit, nuts/seeds & a bit of meat & dairy. A Omnivorous diet works for me.

But each to their own, no bother to me.

Just a question, were can I find my omega 6 by following a wslf diet? (Perfect video, so well explained)
