what's the difference between the keto
and carnivore diet is one better than
the other keep watching to find it hey
guys welcome back to my channel if
you're new here my name is Kate I'm a
health coach and I post videos on a
high-fat nutrient-dense way of eating if
you like this video please give it a
thumbs up feel free to share and make
sure to subscribe keto and carnivore are
both versions of low carbohydrate diets
the idea behind low carb diets is that
by minimizing carbs your body switches
to burning fat as its main source of
energy that is a cleaner burning
consistent source of fuel for the body
when you are burning fat you don't have
those spikes and crashes in your energy
it is stable all day long carbs on the
other hand provides the quick source of
energy but that energy is short-lived
you have to be constantly eating
throughout the day to keep your energy
up that is different because not only
are you burning dietary fat the fact
that you're eating but when that runs
out you actually switch to burning your
body fat when you're eating a high carb
diet and relying on carbs for energy the
transition from burning carbs and
glucose to burning your body fat isn't
as seamless so as I was saying both keto
and carnivore are versions of a low carb
diet which allows us to burn fat as our
main source of energy but what's the
difference between the two and why might
you pick one over the other the keto
diet includes all foods that are low in
carbohydrates so this includes non
starchy vegetables low sugar fruit nuts
and seeds and also all meat fish and
eggs generally the goal on keto is to
eat less than 20 net grams of carbs per
day now on a carnivore diet instead of
focusing on macronutrients and keeping
your carbohydrates low the premises is
that you eat only animal foods and no
plants so that's pretty much just meat
fish eggs and maybe dairy now because
animal foods contain only trace amounts
or even know
Oh hydrates the carnivore diet ends up
being a low-carb diet by default so why
would you pick one over the other keto
obviously has more variety you have more
foods to choose from on a day to day
basis and this can either be a good
thing or a bad thing with more foods to
choose from there's the option to make
keto alternatives for some of your past
favorite foods such as brownies and
bread and on the surface that might seem
like a good thing but for a lot of us we
end up just replacing one bad habit for
another so yes we might be having a
sugar-free brownie after dinner every
day for dessert but we are still feeding
into that need to have something sweet
and a lot of us will do better if we
just cut that out completely carnivory
doesn't allow for that wiggle room there
aren't very many options to make
carnivore friendly versions of your ex
favorite foods and this can really help
you especially if you have problems with
things such as snacking or bored eating
things of that nature and this is where
I think it is important to be honest
with yourself are you someone who is
able to moderate things in your life or
are you better just cutting things out
completely there are two main categories
you might fall under either a moderator
or an abstainer
personally I fall under the abstainer
category I do so much better just
mentally physically all-around when I
cut the bad foods out completely I can't
just give myself two squares of
chocolate even dark chocolate once I
start eating that game over I am gonna
finish that whole bar and maybe even a
second one so yeah that's just me you
might be different but it's just really
important to be honest with yourself and
to realize what strategies might benefit
you more if you are able to moderate
treats desserts and whatnot then yeah
you might do well on a keto diet if that
is not you however then carnivore might
benefit you more the next thing I want
to talk about was food sensitivities and
anti-nutrients I'm going to be making a
video in the next couple
weeks that goes in depth into
anti-nutrients and breaks them down
explains them of the better so if you
don't want to miss that make sure you're
subscribed make sure you've clicked that
little bow so you'll be notified but the
gist of it is anti nutrients are
compounds that interfere with the
absorption of nutrients and cause other
negative side effects these are found in
plants and their effects can be lessened
by proper preparation so one example of
this that you've probably heard before
but may not have realized that it was
caused by anti-nutrients is cooking
spinach to get more of the calcium so I
can remember hearing this years ago that
yes there's lots of calcium in spinach
but if you're eating it raw you're not
able to access that calcium your body
can't absorb it but when you cook it the
calcium is released this is because the
calcium in spinach is bound to oxalate
an anti nutrient anyways I'm getting a
little bit off-track but the point is
that these anti nutrients can lower the
nutritional value of food they can also
lead to other health issues such as
leaky gut kidney stones and thyroid
dysfunction almonds are an example of a
food that is high in several anti
nutrients and unfortunately they are a
keto diet favorite almond flour is often
used as a traditional flour replacement
in things such as keto bread keto bars
and other similar products now some
people are more sensitive to anti
nutrients than other people some people
are really sensitive and for people like
this the carnivore diet may benefit them
more carnivore can also be used as a
short-term tool to identify food
sensitivities it really is the ultimate
elimination diet if you have something
in your diet that's not agreeing with
you but you can't quite figure out what
try the carnivore diet just for 30 days
and then after that time start adding
foods back in ultimately I do think both
diets are great for weight loss and
maintenance blood sugar regulation
reducing inflammation mental clarity and
just overall health personally after
trying both I have fallen somewhere in
the middle my diet consists mainly
of fish meat and eggs with a few plants
sprinkled in that agree with me it's all
about experimenting and finding out what
works for you anyways guys that's all I
have for you today let me know in the
comments down below other pros and cons
