"With great carbs comes great responsibility"- love it!

Should have known it would be you to spell out the pitfalls of transition and how to get it right. Excellent presentation of how to avoid lying to yourself. Good advice for cycling off keto when necessary, too. You're my reference EVERY TIME for the real bottom line. Love your videos, Thomas! The. Best.

Been off keto for 2 weeks and I feel terrible, I’m so happy this video came out! Back on keto today! 🎉

Thank you for this video.
A year ago I was doing great on Keto but I got hit by several physical health problems (Hashimoto’s, broken back and wonky knee) and couldn’t get out to get groceries and started getting pizza, Chinese food and sub sandwiches delivered. Nowadays I can’t even get interested in food and end up eating lots of sugar, junk food and sweet tea.
I didn’t have energy, slept most of the time, was depressed and gained more than 30 lbs.
This video has motivated me to clean up my food consumption, hoping for the best.
Thanks again ❤️🌈👍🫐

You nailed it. "Carb Curiosity" is really a thing. I had a torrid affair with carbs in the midst of my keto marriage. It was terrible.!

[TonyJ]

I needed this video 8 months ago when I began a HARD rebound due to exactly this. I just began to recover from this in the last week.

Ketogenic lifestyle is still the best thing I brought into my life. I no longer crave snacks every 30 minutes between meals. No longer feel sleepy after lunch break at work.

I got back on keto and deflated like a balloon. It’s amazing how in one week I can see how less puffy my entire body is.

[JewishKeto]

I do keto and it helped me reverse my diabetes.mi honestly for now want to keep keto up but this is very good information for if a time comes I decide to go off keto

[Sara-pblj]

I came off of ketovore a couple weeks ago and only gained 2lbs, which I’m guessing is due to water retention. Now I’m just eating whatever but being mindful of my calorie intake. I’m not trying to lose or gain weight so just maintaining. I may become interested in low carb again some day but I just need a break from following any sort of food-restrictive plan right now.

I'd stay between low carb and keto due to my issue
I don't want type 2 diabetes come back.
I don't want fatty liver come back.
I want my heart running smooth 24/7

Best line ever”with great carbs comes great responsibility “ good stuff TD

[Chris-P.]

After being on a pretty strict Keto/low-carb diet for the past year, I just recently started reintroducing carbs back into my diet slowly and this video could not have come at a more perfect time! Thank you for this immensely helpful video!

[brandonbernitz]

Brilliant video Thomas! Incredibly informative and nuanced. Makes a lot of sense. I love "With great carbs comes great responsibility"

[JohnDHair]

This makes so much sense! I remember before doing keto I would eat my protein first I felt more satiated and ate less carbs and fats. Curious when going off keto if weight gain by adding more carbs could also be caused by the body stops using fats for fuel and changes gears to using glycogen instead? 🤔

[michealfriedman]

I'm no longer keto but still low carb. Still no sugar, rice, pasta, potatoes, fruit juice, etc.

[joegt]

I'm getting off of keto for a cycle to fuel a move soon. This is what i need. But i think I'm covering it pretty well. Im stopping cheese, avocado, reducing oil i cook with.

[mikemcneil]

Its almost like you've been watching me the last year. Off keto a year ago, fell into this trap, quickly ballooned up. Back on keto again

[barbaragillett]

Totally agree with you this is what happened to me now I have put on weight I am going back to Keto thank for this information 👏👏👏👏🇬🇧

[RobCGilliam]

I had the exact opposite reaction, but Thomas is on point with the reduction of fat. I had to pull off keto because it ruined my good lifetime LDL levels.

The replacement diet was low fat pescatarian. Because I reduced fat to 20-40 g a day and my body burned fat primarily for 18 months, I actually lost weight quicker than ever in my life and I'm close to ideal weight already. Veins started showing in areas I've never seen within weeks. I felt super. I did start supplementing with two protein shakes a day. I can see how cycling keto and low fat diet could be effective. For now, I'm good with the pescatarian diet. My LDL went from 175 to 60 in weeks. My blood glucose is super.

Completely agree with earn your carbs. I added them back in strategically. Luckily access to a CGM. I'd do a walk, workout, surf after carb meals. Also did not mix higher carb foods with fats. I found neat things like a protein shake with big bowl of oatmeal would cut out any spike. I would literally rise from the 80's to 105-110 and then drop back in the 80s now.
