Today we’re going to talk about good fats vs. bad fats.

Bad fats:
• Soy oil
• Corn oil
• Canola oil
• Cottonseed oil
• Margarine

The above oils are GMO and inflammatory. There is a solvent sometimes used when processing these oils that is potentially toxic. There could also be traces of glyphosate (an herbicide in these oils. These oils are in many different foods, including common foods like mayonnaise, salad dressing, and hummus. Margarine has trans fats. Trans fats are deadly.

These bad fats are also loaded with omega 6 fatty acids. In many cases, fast food restaurants and other restaurants include these bad fats in their foods.

There are a few types of oils that are fine for some people to consume in small amounts every now and then, as long as they’re cold-pressed and organic. Flax oil is very estrogenic and may only be beneficial for females who are lacking estrogen and need a small boost over a short period of time.

These oils include:
• Safflower oil
• Sunflower oil
• Flax oil
• Sesame seed oil (and tahini)
• Nut oils

Good fats:
• Cod liver oil
• Avocado oil
• Lard (wild boar)
• Tallow (grass-fed bison, beef, or lamb)
• Camel fat
• Butter (grass-fed, organic, and raw if possible)
• Ghee
• Olive oil (extra virgin olive oil)
• Palm oil (environmentally friendly versions)
• Coconut oil

1:05 Tips to boost discipline

Today I’m going to show you a few ways to boost your discipline with exercise and diet. I know from my own experience that it’s possible to go from having terrible discipline to being very disciplined. Discipline is self-control. It’s restraint over impulses, emotions, and desires that can counter your progress.

A few tips to boost your discipline with exercise and diet:
1. People are not naturally lazy
If you feel lazy, you really just need more energy. Start with the keto diet first to help give you more energy.

2. Raise your emotion
Your emotion controls your behavior. You could try music, exercising with friends, or being around upbeat people. Also, the more you speed up, the higher your emotion.

3. Find a trainer or coach
A trainer can help push you further than you could push yourself. A keto coach could give you the information you’re missing, which will make a world of difference.

4. Keep your word
Every time you keep your word, you build up your willpower. If you say you’re going to do something, do it. This is a helpful therapy.

5. Make it easy to do
Make your recipes simple and start out with short or easy exercises. Something is better than nothing.

Today let’s talk about how tallow (beef fat) could potentially help you lose weight. Before Crisco came around, tallow was the most popular fat to cook with.

Crisco was promoted as something that was healthier than tallow. But, it has been found that seed oils, which are used in Crisco, can potentially cause oxidation and heart disease.

Tallow creates very little oxidation. When using tallow, be sure it’s organic and grass-fed.

How tallow can help support weight loss:
1. It’s high in a type of fat called CLA (CLA increases fat-burning)
2. It’s very satisfying and allows you to fast longer
3. It can help decrease cravings and hunger for carbs
4. Fat doesn’t trigger insulin like carbs or protein
5. You’ll have less gut inflammation

Today we’re going to talk about microwave popcorn and whether or not it’s safe to eat. At the center of the kernel of the corn, there is a little bit of water. When you heat it, it expands until it explodes. Popcorn has been around for a long time. Americans consume about 1.2 billion pounds (500 million kg) of popcorn every year.

Popcorn is not keto-friendly. I think it’s best to avoid eating popcorn. There is a certain chemical in microwave popcorn that prevents the oil from seeping through the bag. It’s also present in Teflon, pizza boxes, sandwich wrappers, and other packaging. About 98% of Americans have this chemical in their bodies. But, this chemical is a carcinogen that can potentially lead to kidney cancer and testicular cancer.

There is also another chemical used in microwave popcorn for the flavoring that can potentially lead to popcorn lung. The hydrogenated or partially hydrogenated oils that are in microwave popcorn are also very unhealthy and bad for your arteries. On top of that, most corn is GMO and has traces of glyphosate.

Keto on steroids is a version of the keto diet that’s very strict. It’s meant for people who need to lose weight really fast or who are at a plateau and need to jumpstart the program.

Normally, on the keto diet, you would consume 30g-50g of carbs per day. But, on this version of the keto diet, you would need to bring your carbs down to 5g per day. The best way to do this is to get your carbs mainly from vegetables. But, you still need to consider the number of carbs in the vegetables you consume.

It’s important not to overdo the protein you consume with this version of keto. You would want to consume 3-7oz. of protein per day. If you consume too much protein, your body will break it down and turn it into glucose. The key is to consume fattier types of protein.

There is a lot of fat with the proteins you’re going to consume. With this version of the keto diet, you’re not going to want to consume a lot of extra fat like keto bombs.

Appropriate fats would be:
• Olive oil (extra virgin)
• Butter
• Coconut oil
• Lard or tallow
• Macadamia nuts
• Pecans
• Cod liver

Foods to avoid on this version of keto (in addition to the things you would normally avoid on a keto diet):
• Dairy
• Berries
• Keto desserts
• MCT oil

A few things you can consume on this version of the ketogenic diet:
• Coffee or tea (only 1-2 cups of coffee per day)
• Electrolytes
• B vitamins (nutritional yeast)
• Vitamin D (unless you get sun or you consume cod liver)
• Sea salt (1-1.5 tsp. per day)

With this version, you’re going to consume one meal a day (OMAD). Every two weeks, you’re also going to do a 48 hour fast.

You would want to do high-intensity exercises two times per week (spread out). It needs to be high-intensity full-body exercises. On the off days, you would want to take long walks (for at least 45 minutes). Ideally, you would want to exercise during your fasting periods.

It’s also very important to get plenty of sleep, keep your stress low, get out in the sun and nature.

Do Your Nuts Have to Be Organic?

Is it okay to consume non-organic nuts? Here’s what you need to know.

Timestamps
0:00 Nuts on keto
0:10 Pesticides and nuts
1:10 Can I consume non-organic nuts?
2:42 Bulletproof your immune system *free course!

Do you have to consume organic nuts? The type of nut that has the most pesticides is the walnut. Peanuts actually have more pesticide residues, but they are legumes, not nuts. Many different types of nuts can potentially have a lot of chemical residues on them.

Pesticides can’t penetrate the hard shell of a nut. But, the nuts are sprayed with pesticides after they are picked and cracked open. So, the nuts can have a good amount of chemicals on them.

If possible, it may be best to consume organic nuts. However, they’re very expensive. So, try to at least buy nuts that are fair-trade, which may have fewer chemicals. Another good alternative is to buy them in the shells and deshell them yourself.

Ideally, it’s best to consume organic nuts. If you can’t, don’t consume large amounts. Consuming cruciferous vegetables on a regular basis can potentially help reduce the toxic effect of environmental toxicities.

Can I Do Grapefruit on Keto

1:49 Bulletproof your immune system *free course!

In this short video, we’re going to talk about whether or not it’s alright to eat grapefruit on keto.

Grapefruit is high in vitamin C. It has citric acid, which could help decrease the risk of kidney stones. It also has lycopene, which can be good for problems with the prostate.

However, there is a problem with grapefruit. There are enzymes in the liver that usually metabolize the majority of medications in the body. But, a certain chemical in grapefruit can inhibit this function, causing an elevated concentration and accumulation of the medication. In fact, taking certain medications while consuming just one grapefruit or a 7oz. (a little over 200g) glass of grapefruit juice could potentially lead to an overdose.

Grapefruit is also loaded with sugar. 1 cup (230g) of grapefruit is equal to 25g of carbs and 1g of sugar. Grapefruit is not keto-friendly.

2:54 Bulletproof your immune system *free course!

Today we’re going to talk about normal hair loss vs. pathological hair loss. A person has hundreds of thousands of hairs growing on their head at any given time. The life cycle of a hair is about 2-5 years. In a normal situation, an average person will lose 50-100 strands of hair every day.

If you run your fingers through your hair with a gentle tug, you should see between about 1-10 hairs in your hand—this is normal. But, if you keep running your fingers in the same spot and your hair keeps coming out, there are several reasons why this could be happening.

Potential causes of hair loss:
• A hormonal change (high estrogen, low progesterone, high DHT, low thyroid, high cortisol)
• Certain medications
• Lupus
• Nutrient deficiencies

Nutrient deficiencies that could potentially cause hair loss:
• Vitamin D
• Vitamin B12
• Vitamin C
• Vitamin A
• Zinc
• Biotin
• Selenium

Today I’m going to cover what you need to know about the most carcinogenic nut. The most carcinogenic nut is the peanut. But peanuts are not actually nuts—they’re legumes or beans. The most carcinogenic nut is technically the walnut, but we’re going to talk about the peanut.

Peanut shells are softer and more porous than other nutshells, and they can absorb more things from the soil.

Two big problems with peanuts:
1. They’re susceptible to getting a fungus
This fungus gives off a toxin that is poisonous. This toxin could potentially lead to gallbladder or liver cancer.

2. They’re heavily sprayed
The peanut plants are heavily sprayed with chemicals.

A simple solution is to consume organic peanuts. But, Valencia peanuts may not have the same problems with toxins and chemicals. Celery, carrots, and parsley may help reduce the carcinogen effect of the toxins.
