hello everyone welcome to Mind Blowing Health and Wellness with Violent Pat chat edition
I'm Volet and I'm Pat we make these videos because we want to help everybody to have the
best quality information about the catering lifestyle that's that we can
help you to have and Patrick finds interesting articles videos comments
that we we feel the need to talk about because sometimes we're astray sometimes
it's just really great information so I'm not really sure as usual what we're
talking about today so want you but it's an article that caught my attention and
it's following like a previous video we did on on plateaus so basically the
title is set food items people think are low in carbs but but they actually
aren't so I thought maybe like you're on a plateau but you're eating stuff you
should you shouldn't be eating so let's go like some of those okay so they're
foods that that we think are low carb but are not low carb and are not low
carb so let's put ourselves in more like an low carb like a situation because
they're definitely not keto but even they could be even like that on the low
carb diet 125 three meals a day yeah let's go let's go
well the first one to me was like obvious but maybe for a low carb diet
dieter we'll see maybe it's not mango why would you not know that mango is
yeah so mango 165 grams of chopped mangoes have at least 28 grams of carbs
so how much 165 grams hundred and six of my crimes
it's 20 Ames 28 is that net or total weight they don't say can I check that
because that doesn't sound horrible at all I was expecting I was sincerely
expecting worse so I'm here for the same amount told me it would have been twenty
four point seven and you said 28 so can I just say that I'm actually surprises
that low because I mean again we're talking low carb so 20 28 grams on a
fruit so it's like on a 125 grams so it's like about a quart look at the
fifth or quart of your a quarter of your it's a fifth of I mean I mean I'm taking
the big assumption if you have mango like that's what you're having for the
day in terms of carbs because but I'm just gonna just for the sake of it just
for the sake of like argument because I'm that kind of person
165 grams of apple with the skin give 17.5 net which would be about 20 is it
like an apple is a bit less but I mean it's not that far behind like that's why
I'm glad you expect that's mad I was expecting it to be so much worse than an
apple right that's what caught my attention I was so sure it was gonna be
that much worse so that's not I mean it's bad but it's not that you know I
mean I mean it's old fruit right but like I'm actually yeah so okay so so but
but I'm actually surprised somebody would still think that that was not look
maybe they would think that like yes because it's a very high fiber or
something like it's not but I also do maybe just because it's a fruit they
think well it's a fruit so I'm allowed to have fruit right so it's low carb
right I'm not having a chocolate bar although how much first toasted they're
like damageable they damage your liver systems they damage your liver and
eventually your pancreas end of it like so it's like you're not it's not a great
thing to be eating the fructose but again compare it to an apple same with
the same amount under 65 grams of apple you're getting you're getting like it's
gonna probably be some like well it's 17 net but total it's 22.8 it's not that
far behind so it's not that far ahead of an apple okay I would put the second one
in but then again like I was surprised to see that like even for a low carb
article like dry fruit raisins so why is that a low carb finna but people think
it's a low carb but it's actually not so 28 grams again because it's filled
that's an ounce of reason that it contains 22 grams of carbs so like no
one has 22 grams with you above your your keto number like off the bat but
for a low-carb like yeah it's I think I do think because of fruit yeah so but
but then you know we already I think talked about dry food like but can I
just point something else out most people who are doing a little carb are
not weighing their fruits mm-hmm I feel this the other thing that could
like I'm not really sure what the point of this article is cuz if you're doing a
little card but you're not dieting if you're just doing a little card to be
healthy then like you might be surprised if you start to gain weight
yeah but like I don't think at least my understanding a lot of the most people
who are doing with her but not necessarily weighing their food you
might be tracking it and it but if you're tracking it like you might just
put mango Apple II meant to put how much you had right or you might say it's a
small Apple when you didn't really wait it to know that it was a big Apple right
like you know I mean that's what sure yeah the ones the other example I have a
colleague I think he's eating like three of the three of those every day when the
hennas so one medium banana has 27 grams of carbs so that's another like another
truth to be careful so far we've got fruit fruit more fruit yeah yeah but do
I get to changing but I but I just want poison me out though like we're always
telling ourselves are fruits so healthy yeah but like it's full of sugar mm-hmm
right we so you know if you're gonna eat a fruit mmm
watermelon yeah what am I not good berries berries berries but you know
like honestly just just don't eat them but the okay so here's the other thing I
wanna point out it is so common to see people and their meal with fruit for
dessert because it's healthier mm-hmm so just keeping it in mind that if you end
each meal with a fruit like you just added from what our calculations were
there are 75 grams to your day low-carb is 125 yeah so like you know be careful
like have a big fruit salad for breakfast or like yeah but this is what
kind of the point right it's like it's like if you're if you're trying to do
low-carb to be healthy and then you're allowing yourself to eat fruit and if
you're eating more than one per day like that's just give yourself 25 per
time you have a fruit and you realize like mm-hmm you start to
chop away at a lot of what like because a cup a cup of fresh fruits not a lot I
think you will say you probably not feel very okay that's a whole other story
because you know you're gonna feel hungry I'm just after eating those
things but that's a whole other story there's not we're not going to this is
low carb okay let's go like in the cereal realm how can I walk you know
where is thought to be like a super healthy like stereo it's gluten-free
high-protein but like a hundred grams of cooked quinoa contains 21 grams of carbs
and you know why I mean it's the same is the same it's about I would say probably
about a cup maybe hmm of course a like gluten free eye protein Plan B is a
sufficient amount of all nine essential amino acids and the next one yeah
there's like that I did find interesting because it hi it can have some space in
our keto lifestyle yogurt so basically like what I did like with that like 255
grams of flavored yogurt can have up to 47 grams of carb so be careful with like
the fruits in the bottom and even there the basic vanilla vanilla yogurt like
has a ton of sugar vanilla lemon I've seen a lot of like ones were that you
would think they would you lower but it's not like vanilla and lemon both
have a lot of sugar in them yeah so two things I could say that uh with like the
yogurt like high fat plain yogurt like usually as around five six grams of
carbs that's not yeah and some people are gonna eat the things are people
gonna eat the plane because the plane doesn't get used to something if I like
it I like it if I don't I don't so like the things are people gonna eat the
plane because I don't like plain yogurt mine I like I mean I haven't tasted in a
long time though so maybe my tastes have changed enough that I might like it
that's a possibility actually because there is sugar in it so but like I just
know that when I was eating yogurt the plain yogurt was a possible hurl
situation for the high fat that I do get though
it's tasting very good I did try some Greek yogurt like that was five five
percent I think there was some did he call that stuff honey to put on okay
again yeah so the eye fat is like to me it tastes better than the Greek yogurt
but like jingle labels like if you can't find like I said like I said in previous
video in Cape Cod I did find a Greek yogurt that had I think two grams of
carbs like per serving but like yeah you can you can you can find something
that's better than any flavored yogurt that's for sure
next one they're talking about beans so okay so beans like yes I mean some
cultures like there CA always they're out there always seen as something like
a cup of beans I'm gonna guess I'm gonna make a guess here that is somewhere in
the 20s that's all okay so a hundred two hundred 160 to 200 grams of beans let's
say like a cup I have no idea like how much would that would be black beans for
you want kidney beans 40 so it's more like in the okay so you see even I would
have been fooled by that way I was expecting 20s because it's a bean it's a
legume like I just kind of leave them but like you know like you and you do
hear people talking about putting a little bit of beans and whatever and on
keto so Wow okay be careful because again you have 125 to work with and
that's 40 work but you know what would you
oh yeah sometimes people put beans as a side right yeah like so like if you're
actually eating them like as a side then 40 carbs yeah it's a can be yeah but if
that's the only thing you're having beside your meat okay like me okay I
guess see this is one of those situations where we go back to what we
always talked about planning planning planning he's like it wouldn't be the
ideal story to go out let's say for lunch and eat and then not know when
you're ordering at lunchtime what supper is gonna be because this is like if you
only got 125 grams to deal with in your day like how do you make sure
that you're not like putting yourself not to be able to have whatever was
planned for supper right like you might end up at the end of the day only being
able to eat your meat so but I mean that's not a bad solution I'm just
saying I'm just saying like plan for it if that's what you're gonna do like if
you're out out for lunch and you decide to eat something you kind of have to
know then when I get home I'm not but again do people who do little carb
measure and monitor as much as people who dakedo right because the numbers so
much smaller 20 versus 125 like I feel like what I feel like what this is
teaching me right now cuz I'm like shocked like some of these numbers and I
think what is teaching me right now is how like how easy it is to get to 125 oh
yeah sure like I mean I know how easy it is to get to 20 because right but like
like how easy it is to get to 125 on things that you wouldn't necessarily
have thought or as bad as I thought I really thought the beans were gave me in
the 20s vo TV guilty choices yeah next one next one next one like I did find
interesting because even in some comments we had like online and articles
I always see like this is a good like show a preferred choice for keto people
and it's milk I never understood why I've read this an article where like oh
yeah keto good choice like for a drink is milk like it's the worst thing I
don't think it's a good choice for said okay so 240 miles of milk contain like 3
to 12 to 13 grams of carbs that's why it's not a good that's that's why it's
not a good choice for keto but it's okay for low carb yeah yeah okay fell apart
and what about like chocolate right I mean unless you're just throwing some
like really cook cacao powder powder in there or something which most people are
not gonna do that I figured if you're using like real
chocolate to make your chocolate yeah it's just gonna put you over but yeah if
you're I mean so far to be to be honest I guess the point that they're making
there is it has more sugar than you think
you know because it does it doesn't it doesn't you don't notice how sweet it is
because you're you're used to it but yeah I think the other thing though and
it's one of those interesting ideas because is it it's a good option if
they're saying for for like people say it's a good option but then you kind of
the hoop side of the coin is is there a better places to get your calcium and
there's so many better places there's like so many vegetables and cheese and
like there's so many better places to get your calcium than drinking cow's
milk which is just you know I think put it in context cow's milk is made to grow
a cow hmm right women's breast milk is made to grow a person just like of
course there's things in there that you probably shouldn't be drinking as an
adult right it's just I don't know logic but you know adult cows drink water
right adult people don't drink breast milk from other women like think about
it like we don't so why are we drinking the milk from Cathy's is this one of
those things or you kind of have to stop and go you know question mark you know
yeah well that's add that you need to be careful with your your food choices and
do your research like some things that we always taught or like we hear that
are healthy and then a little win sugar and like they're yeah I can also just
point out like you you also need to be conscientious about why you're eating
what you're eating like for those first fruits the first like I don't know how
many of them that were fruits the question mark for me is why are you
having it like if you're having that as a dessert then have less I mean if
that's what you're gonna choose to have as a dessert instead of having a hundred
and thirty thirty six grams of mango have like 50 grams right you just cut it
like dramatically down the amount you're having right but if you're having it as
a snack which means that you are hungry why wouldn't you just have a meal like
to me that's always a big question mark if you have to open your appetite for
the next meal oh my god that's what you're doing you really are opening your
appetite so yeah for me the question is why not have a meal if you're hungry
the meal if you want to snack is because you're hungry have a meal all right so
if you want to have a dessert have it at the end of your meal and at least you're
not spiking your insulin in between yeah one of the things that I'm looking
forward to because as we've talked about more than once is that we are teaching
our children to be more conscious about their their sugar choices and so we're
kind of leaning at least I know I'm leaning towards the three of them being
a bit more low carb than because they're not going to do keto now it's not
necessary they're healthy they run around and they eat well because most of
time that we eat so they they eat well but it's the chocolate bars it's the
other stuff right if you choose like there are some simple things we can do
like with our kids like just to don't not even bring them too closer to low
carb but just eliminating like some believe like sources of juice like
juices like you so just for clarity we have already limited the amount of juice
because in my house for example I don't buy juice and in your house it's rare
that you had juice there's not anymore yeah and so the only time that they
actually get juice is a gram so my mom so but that's okay it's like once a week
it really is once a week that they have juice I know my daughter takes water to
school and I believe both of your boys take water to school so like they they
made that switch and actually to be in to in all fairness they were drinking it
before we knew about all this like our kids just like water like that's the
truth although I did have you I used to buy juice I stopped buying juice that
being said we are like bringing we are teaching our children to be conscious of
carbohydrates because I do recognize that probably by the time they become
young adults there were all they were gonna want to like be more conscious of
what they're eating as we said it's an additive thing right the more carbs you
eat over time the more you're damaging your body so we know that is an additive
thing this is why another thing that we don't buy anymore is fruits for the
house and all that stuff we don't do they have apples once in a while they
have fruits once in a while again grandma right grandma slaves normally
so they get that opportunity to have those things when they go to Grandma's
that's like when some once a week not gonna lie though we still buy cookies
and stuff when they they have them occasionally it's again it's it's not
it's not the go-to thing as it used to be why am I saying this I'm saying this
because when you're trying to make change and like I'm looking at these
these options that they gave us you know like I'll be careful these things are
higher in carb I think that if you teach yourself and you taste your children
from young these things are things that should be had in moderation
by the time our kids are going to be adults I'm very confident that they're
gonna be making better choices going into their future you know and and
that's that's what it's all about like we can only make the best possible
choice that we can make with the information that we have at the time
right so I like articles like this because I didn't think mango was gonna
be that number and I didn't think the beans are gonna be that number so like I
was really kind of a little bit surprised I mean of course I know the
sugar in all veg and sorry I know the sugar in all fruits I just didn't think
that it was gonna be that for 136 grams I didn't think is give me that much so
