 With all the information out on the web today, why is it that people still count calories? Hey there, NJRoot22.com here with another low carb keto carnivore Chad. It's a quick little just point that I feel like making about calories. I wonder why after all this time that people, you know, just like they're worried about, you know, low fat foods and this, that, and baked instead of fried, why people still even worry about calories. Calories are the biggest number on the nutrition facts label. Everybody's always counting calories and like that counting calories thing was like 30 years ago. I really think people should be counting carbs. The carbohydrates and the net carbohydrates should be the biggest number on the back of any food product or label. And, you know, when you're low carb keto carnivore, you sometimes, you know, they don't have those nutrition facts on raw meat. So that would be a moot point kind of, but it's just ridiculous. When you're low carb keto or carnivore, you don't need to count calories because they count themselves. If you're eating a high fat steak, you will stop eating when your body is naturally satiated. And eating all that fat, which contributes a lot to the calories and the protein too. You don't really have to worry about it because, I mean, you can really eat more than they say, oh, you're 2,000 calories a day. I can eat 2,000 calories of fat a day practically and or 4,000 or even more and never gain a pound. As long as your blood sugar doesn't get spiked and you're in the state of ketosis, it doesn't really matter, you know, calories alone. It's the kind of calories. And we know this already, but for anybody that's stumbling onto this video that's just starting and needs to get it hammered into their head, calories don't matter. It's the type of calories and how your blood sugar reacts to the calories that you consume. You know, carbohydrates are the worst. The baseline is if you eat more than 50 grams of carbs in a meal, that you're going to go into a heightened state of blood sugar and you're going to gain weight. You're also going to get that sugar crash, which is going to make you hungry. And the odds of you eating go tremendously up. Same thing with protein. This is why they call it a high fat, moderate protein, low carb diet when people go into the keto carnivore zone because too much protein. Your ideal number of protein value for how we understand is to eat just as much as you burn off and use as fuel. Any excess protein that isn't used as fuel at the end of the day does get converted into glucose and it turns into sugar basically and gets stored in your body fat and you get bigger. Fat alone and a low amount of protein and a minimal or zero amount of carbs and your blood sugar doesn't go up and you're in a state of ketosis. It's searching for fat for fuel. And if you're running on just an empty fuel tank, it'll use your stored body fat as fuel. If you're not in ketosis, you cannot use stored body fat as fuel. And it's just not a good thing. So don't count the calories. It's a waste of time unless you look at how the calories are comprised. And it's so simple. I just don't know why more people aren't figuring that out yet. And I guess the food industry believes their own BS as well. Calories, calories, calories, low calories, 100 calories. I hate that. I don't give a crap how many calories it is. I eat until I am satiated. Oh, PS, I sometimes do make mistakes. We had a video recently about the mistakes I make. And I'm telling you it sucks just putting one bite of bread or carb-y item into your mouth. And that's separate from the sweet sensation that we've been talking about as well. But just putting anything that's outside of this low carb keto, it really does hurt. You get body aches. I ate one bite of a breaded chicken tender that we had here for our kids. And I felt like crap for almost a day. I didn't sleep. I woke up in knee pains. I don't know. That's why I'm never putting wheat in my body again. That is a whole separate story. It's like the worst of all worlds, wheat. It's inflammatory. It's a carb. It raises your blood sugar. It's genetically modified. And I should go some Far Hills bakery that makes ancient grains and hasn't been infected by the big agricultural companies. But that's it. Don't worry about the calories. Forget them. Just worry about the kind of calories you eat. Have a good week ahead.
