this video is made for people who are hypertensive and who can not to balance
their blood pressure, this video is made for people who are diabetic and who despite all

for people who are in families who are predisposed to having diabetes, this video
is also for people who are wellness lovers and would like to live long
and healthy lives. Yes we are going to talk about an interesting topic which is the ketogenic diet. This
diet which was created in the 1920s by doctor Dr Russel Wilder who worked on
children who suffered from epilepsy and who set up this diet because we were looking for an
alternative to fasting because it had become difficult to leave of children fast for
days. Please stay until the end of this video. It's right away with Sweetdoctor.
As I said earlier, we are going to talk about the ketogenic diet. Who has ever
heard of this diet? Let me know in the comments.
And tell me how? It is true that I have already said enough about this ketogenic diet I
invite you to go to my page because Dr olivia already has almost 42 videos on YouTube. So I invite you
to be able to go to my page and to the end of this video because I will put the
video link on it and you will be able to understand more about what it is. Today the particularity
of this video on this diet is to be able to tell you that it is possible as an African to be
able to practice this ketogenic diet because on the internet we only have American meals or
European countries and Africans will ask themselves the question of why they have to eat
western food? while doing the ketogenic diet with African meals. I am
here to address your concern today. In Nigeria there are several
YouTubers and several people who have blogs that are already trying to be able to make ketogenic menus
compared to Nigerian culture but unfortunately in French-speaking Africa,
there is really no one who has ever had to be able to work on it. So I would like to invite
those who want to train on it to be able to do so. You should know that the ketogenic diet
is not something that is invented on the internet, but it is doctors who put together
this diet. As I said, this diet was created in the 1920s by Dr Russel
in children with epilepsy when we were looking for an alternative to fasting and this ketogenic diet mimics
the effects of fasting. This ketogenic diet is a diet that aims to be able to use glucagon
which is the other hormone that can be used to convert fat into energy through the
process of lipolysis. The body can just store energy. This is precisely
why when you do not eat you will not die because you have reserves.
Like a wise mom who runs errands and puts in the fridge and then stores the couses
in the freezer in such a way that if there is no more food in her fridge then she
will use the meal stored in the freezer to be able to feed. It's exactly the same with
this ketogenic diet. We realized that when we ate fat and reduce
the sources of sugar, then the body entered ketogenic so that is to say, use glucagon
to be able to burn the fat that was stored in the form of energy. So this ketogenic diet
is a diet that can significantly reduce the amount of sugar
in the diet and the problem in Africa where I come from, the problem is supplements.
Most supplements we eat are extremely high in sugar and people eat
very large portions of these supplements and it is for that explains why in this area,
although there's plenty of other elements that are good people develop health
problems such as obesity, cardiovascular disease problems such
as diabetes high blood pressure because it all stems from there and in other tribes
these problems come from excessive alcohol consumption . So concretely speaking
of the ketogenic diet, it is possible to be able to do this diet in Africa. I will take a
few examples that I will be able to detail with you and for those who would like a
particular follow-up I ask you to be able to go to my Facebook page sweetdoctor you will have my
contact where you can contact me in stainless steel and I can follow you for free because i
am here to help. I'm here to be able to make you healthy this
is something that works because i lost all of my pregnancy weight on this ketogenic diet and
i am healthy especially when you really know how to do it. You can have what
is called KETO FLU so you need to know that you need to take
keto fluids such as magnesium and potassium and take lots of salads
to avoid constipation. Concretely there is in the central region a meal
called OKOK that is not only found in the center but in other regions as well, but the
preparation is different. This meal is purely ketogenic you have palm oil which comes
from palm nuts, you have peanuts which are actually ketogenic when taken in
adequate doses because it still contains sugar and we have these leaves inside.
So if you make this meal and you don't put sugar or if you can't
eat it with salt, you can put substitute sugar then it's possible to be able to do
this ketogenic diet. You just need to accompany with a little bit of supplement and take
your OKOK precisely whether in the bassa area or at the center. We have at the
coastline what is called Ndolè when you really use it either with avocado
oil or olive oil at the end of your cooking. But especially not the vegetable oils that you can
in markets such as Diamaor, Mayor which are the sources of bad fats and that will
give you bad cholesterol which you can eat your ndolè and you accompany it
with a little stick and for those who cannot do without couscous, you can
accompany it with cabbage couscous or cauliflower couscous. It is possible to make
couscous with cabbage or with cauliflower or with eggplants. It is really possible to be able to
make couscous. You will just grind your cabbage in a blender, you will recover this
paste after removing all the water inside and adding fibers. Here in the United States we have a
lot of fibers that we can put to be able to make the dough consistency but I think that for
those who are in Africa you can use the oatmeal powder that you have crushed
or you use a little starch powder to make your couscous firm. This couscous
thus obtained is low in sugar. You can accompany your Ndolè, you can accompany
your okra sauce, you can accompany other sauces which are quite sticky. There's
also as other sources of lawyers bold as you can take breakfast.
Avocados are a good source of fat was the eggs that are very good sources of fat
in contrast to studies that have been made in the past now it is proved that the eggs
have nothing to do with the occurrence of elevation of bad fats which are triglycerides.
Eggs are very good fats since that note needs cholesterol to synthesize certain hormones
such as testosterone, therefore we can not get rid of cholesterol.
Eggs have been proven to be a complete food, so when you take them, they are filling and nourishing and
one of the nutrients that they don't have is vitamin b1, so you just need to take
nutritional yeast. you can have your salad made with avocado, made with romanian salads
, with cabbage which you can eat in the morning but not with white bread because
white bread is sugar, the whole plan contains fiber but it is also sugar.
Please eat your salad so you can cut a little chicken or some sausages
for those who eat. Like you, I did not know that I could do without bread
but I assure you that you will be satisfied. I thought before that it was impossible but I
assure you that you can do without bread. But if you can't do without bread, I
recommend making your own bread for those who have a baking oven. You are going to use
coconut flour so you can turn your coconut into flour and use
it to make cakes as well. This flour is good for making bread or using
almond flour, it is an alternative to wheat flour which is high in sugar. So it's possible
if you can't live without bread to be able to make your own and use
substitute sugars that won't impact your blood sugar. It is possible to have your
breakfast with EGGS at your convenience boiled, eggs in the pan, or
omelettes you eat it as well and you can garnish it as you wish and
according to your taste. You could use avocado oil. In the country where I go there are enough
avocados so you can easily extract the oil from the avocados to have avocado oil
because it is a very good fat that you can use for cooking. because
can be heated to high temperature. You can also use it to make your salads. And for
those who can have olive oil, I recommend it and I really advise you
to use it to make your vinaigrette; olive oil + cider vinegar or lemon or lemon
, you put a little salt and a little pepper. And I advise you here since you
are on a ketogenic diet to consume sea salt because it is very rich in electrolytes. At home,
I bought pink salt, we call it pink salt because it is rich in electrolytes and in my salads,
I put nutritional yeast which is very rich in vitamin b1 which I pour over it. I advise you
to also take electrolytes such as magnesium and potassium so as not to be
in deficit in its electrolytes. If you do, you won't have the problems of KETO FLU. At
first it won't really be easy because when you wean yourself off sugar it's the same
as when you want to quit alcohol or cigarettes so I know it's
not easy to be able to quit with high sugar diet has a very low sugar diet. The
transition is often difficult. That's exactly why I'm here for those who can, for
those who go on the internet, you can do your own research to learn more about
it. But as a doctor, I am here to help you adapt to
this new diet and support you. My Email contact will be at the bottom of this video but
for my WhatsApp contact you will have it on my sweetdocteur professional Facebook page where I post
every week. I invite you to visit this page, you could learn more because I cannot
say everything on YouTube OR through my Facebook page you could benefit from a lot
of other health tips. Doctor Olivia is a doctor who is open and a doctor who
researches. He is a doctor who does not just stay in conventional medicine
that we learn because I care about being able to satisfy my patients. My desire is to be
able to see patients being in good health because there is no point in being able to force oneself
sometimes with methods that do not work when there are other alternative methods that
can really help them. patients to be able to feel good. As a source of protein, we have
chicken, we have meat, we have eggs, chia seeds for those
who are vegetarians, we have tofu for those who are vegetarians and who do not eat fish
or meat. We have mackerel which is a very good fat and also a good source of protein and
salmon is also a very good source of fat for those who consume it, sardines also
when you reassure yourself that inside there is water or olive oil but not the
sardines with vegetable oils because they are not good sardines. The principle here
is to eat good fat you can eat mayonnaise but a mayonnaise that has been made
with avocado oil not mayonnaise made with other oils because it is really not
oils that are recommended and therefore you can really indulge yourself through this
diet you just need to know what to eat, especially the proportions of sugar that you must
not exceed. Because in tomatoes, in onions, in peppers, in cabbage, in
the salad we find sugar but in very small quantities. And for those who concern fruits
this is where many are going to have problems because people are used to taking
fruits but I assure you that most fruits are extremely high in sugar and it
would be really difficult to be able to make a ketogenic diet with most of its fruits.
But you have cherries for those in Africa who have a low glycemic index,
we have grapefruit which also has a low glycemic index you can take just a
small slice but not a whole grapefruit and if you want to take cherries, just a handful
of cherries. Here in the United States we have more choices because in the berry family we have
BlackBerry, Blueberry, strawberry which are the families of strawberries really have a very low
glycemic index and that we can consume in small proportion but not bananas,
oranges, watermelon all are extremely high in sugar, and are not recommended for this ketogenic diet
. Now are you going to tell me how to actually live? Do you have to live like this all
the time? no. So when you have reached your goal, when you have achieved
your weight loss or your blood sugar will return to normal or your blood pressure will
start to normalize, you can treat yourself from time to time, you can choose one.
day of the week or when you are invited to ceremonies, you can
indulge yourself but by eating your fill when you are really full you stop it is
useless to continue eating when your body no longer wants to eat because if you insist, then
the rest will be stored because the body would already be quite full and above all avoid
snacking all the time and for those who are on the ketogenic diet and who sometimes are a little hungry, and
who cannot wait for their next meal, you can take a little olives for those who
don't like olives, you can take a few handfuls of peanuts whether roasted,
whether boiled because the peanuts are t ketogenic but if it's boiled, you just have to take a
little bit anyway, it's better to take it in its most natural form
possible to be able to help you get past this hollow and it's a good replacing instead
of chocolates or candies, cookies or crisps stuff like that they really go that
will really increase insulin secretion. I say thank you for listening to me. Thanks
