I love offal. My mum cooked them - beautifully. Chicken thighs are more expensive than breasts in good old Sydney. Love your program it has taught me a lot. 🙂
Never have had kidneys. Used to love liver with onions. However both of them are part of the "cleansing" sistem in the body, aren't toxins something we should be concerned about? Here in Venezuela they are easily available, but I stopped eating liver
Welcome back Dr. Dan. I learnt a lot about keto when I started my journey and I've missed your channel recently. I've always cooked a lot of chicken liver, lamb liver and lamb kidneys. The biggest mistake I see people make is overcooking liver which can make it tough. I prefer my lamb liver medium rare with onions and garlic fried in a little butter and avocado oil. Chicken livers are great cooked with onion and garlic with some stock, herbs, red wine and finished off with double cream in the frying pan. An extremely easy and satisfying meal which only costs about £3 for four people. Welsh lamb and kidneys are also extremely cheap and top quality. I buy mine from Waitrose, M&S, Tesco etc.
Ahhh! It’s really good actually. Liver enhances the taste of the bolognese and you’ll find it in traditional recipes. But I did add too much once and it wasn’t great. Worth trying to get right tho’
i just fry it with onion, season with salt and pepper, fry it for 10 min then add some red wine, then a tad of water and cook for another 15 min. that s it. pate is nkt good for hemorroids…
Loved watching this yesterday! Had already planned my meal for then …. But today …. Really looking forward to liver and bacon with buttery mashed broccoli. Even better, other half is cooking but for us! Thank you xx
I just came across your channel and I love it. Could you do something on fish oils. I don't eat any fish, just supplements. I have heard that supplements actually cause inflammation, they are not a clean source. I'm very confused, and need some solid guidence.
Wonderful video Dr Maggs! This is the old Brit in Miami Beach, yes I find lamb readily available here, in fact it’s my meat of choice, only thing do miss and can never find are lamb hearts and kidneys.
Firstly, great list! Just to comment on whey. The one from yogurt production is called acid whey and is not used to make whey protein supplement. The sweet whey from cheese production has higher protein content and used for whey protein.
You can get lamb here pretty easily but it is very expensive for the average American. Nice treat on holidays. Very flavorful. Regarding organ meat…just can’’t do it, especially the liver thinking how toxins are filtered through the liver.
"Quark" or "Topfen" (in Austria it's called Topfen) is very familiar in Austria and parts of Germany. I love it, for example with different fresh ingredients on the bread (herbs, or horse radish) or even as dessert (honey to sweeten it, a little bit flaxseed oil for the nutrients, cinnamon (is antiflammatory) and if you want other flavours like vanilla, tonka bean, fruits or nuts. Yes it is sweet, but you don't need much sugar/honey, it is way less sugar than fruit yoghurt from the market and you have only fresh ingredients.
Great to see you back! I love your detailed videos and plenty more information here that I haven't thought of before. Another excellent video. It's the first really detailed video on protein I've seen. I used to like liver and onions years ago but I don't think I could try it now but I love pate so I'll try that.
Except for Nattu, Miso, Tempeh most Keto promoters argue strongly against consumption of soybeans and especially soybean oil. These products are considered highly, highly inflammatory and total avoidance is strongly cautioned.
Very interesting video! It would be great to go a bit into more detail into the offal nutrient profiles, different parts of the animal which can be eaten: organs, tongue, feet, skin ,etc. and the best way to prepare them to reduce nutrient losses. Thank you and keep it up!
I love Quark it is very common here in Germany, I usually buy either the slim quark or the 40% cream quark, there is also a Quark in between the slim quark and the 40% cream quark. The percentage tells us how high in fat the quark is. I like the slim quark to make a dessert but the cream quark I usually eat right out of the package with a spoon. The slim quark is the tartest of the 3 plain no fruit quarks, the 20% is milder and the 40% cream quark is the mildest. This means like with the yoghurt the tartest quark has the most health benefit aka the most probiotic effect just like the tartest plain yoghurt has.
Thanks for sharing! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you've got a hold of my shopping list. Good advice regarding incorporating more offal into the diet. I noticed one of the comments stating that liver and kidney are difficult to find in the UK. The two German retailers, along with all the other big players, not to mention - old-fashioned, I know - any butchers might be worth a punt. Whilst on the subject, why not consider, ox tongue, tail or pork/beef cheeks. In this space, you come across so many 'nothing but ribeye' meat munchers. It is easy to forget we are not all flush with the folding. My advice: walk past the rather dodgy sounding 'air fryer', pick up a pressure cooker and turn kevlar cuts into truffles!
I've been using an air fryer for 2 years to cook beef, chicken and French fries mainly (for the kids, honestly!) Energy saving, easy clean up, best tasting food and using and eating less of the wrong sort of fats makes it (for me) THE most versatile kitchen appliance I have.
its seems to be almost an impossibility for a vegan to follow a low carb lifestyle. i used to be a veggie but last 20 years eat chicken and fish. i have nothing but total respect for vegans and if it wasnt so hard would consider it. maybe you could do a video for them Dan. Dave.
Goat is more common here in the US in areas where there is a higher population of folks originating from central and South America. I never see it here in my usual grocery stores but Mexican stores often carry it.
Quark is very common in Germany, Switzerland and Austria (where they call it Topfen, I think), and consumed either sweet (like fruit johurt) or savory (with lots of different herbs and spices). In Germany, Quark is available in varying fat content (from about 2%, Magerquark, to over 40%)
@@jakobtheiner6329 Yeah, but we Germans also like to tout Skyr as the "New Craze", while people from Iceland probably just roll their eyes and mumble..."huh? whatever"
I am in MI, USA. I have on had lamb in gyros. I saw a few pieces at the local Sam's club, but the price of meat is inflated currently. Always wanted to try though...
In the U.S., even Walmart sells lamb and/or pasture fed and finished beef. Such ruminants, even when not pastured, have a slightly better omega-6 to omega-3 profile than say, pork or chicken (according to my understanding). Really enjoyed your presentation, although I'm having a tough time eating much liver and big fish . . . also wanted to mention another slight ding against soy for some people is that it's a bit too estrogenic.
It may depend on age. I started keto at age 66, now 68. I lost too much weight, my arms got horribly scrawney and sinewey. I vary the foods I eat over the week, some days having 30 -50 grammes of carbs, some days eating more fat. I'd like advice on this too.
Missed your videos during Covid! Glad you're back. I've not seen offal in any grocery store in the US in decades, though my mom used to make liver for us as kids. We do include liverwurst and braunschweiger as part of our keto protein meats. I know they are considered processed food, but I figure the minerals are a good trade off. We get ours from a local deli that makes their own, here in the Pacific Northwest.
I find frozen beef liver and chicken livers at my local. Oddly they have fresh gizzards and hearts which I slow cook to get them soft and add red thai curry paste with fresh ginger, garlic. Then use cilantro lvs and green onions or chives for a garni. I eat with a keto naan bread I make. So good.
Wondering what you have to say nutritionally about meat from wild animals. Here in Sweden we have access to a large variety of meats from wild deer, swine, pigs and elk. These cuts är less fatty, but the favour is superior to that of tame animals. Interested in your opinion. Thank you,!
Soy is very bad for women and hormones cottage cheese is very high in carbs! I’ve lost 60 pounds in six months eating ribeye, cheese burgers,eggs,bacon,butter,broccoli,green beans,spinach! High protein and fat ! I cannot have fiber it makes me very constpated! I’m 58 and feel amazing! No prescription drugs at all! I’ve been on this a couple of years now! My blood work is right on track!
I love Liver and kidney but don't eat anywhere enough of it, so have made a note of all these foods and am going to try to include ALL of them in our weekly meals starting tomorrow! Thanks for the great video!
Great video as usual. Lamb isn't terribly common here in the US, but I believe it's on the rise. Goat is great. Goat ribs are fantastic. My favorite are stews. Meat. Veg. Seeds. All in one go. Plus you can drop in your organ meats (which I will DEFINITELY BE trying here soon), and bam. Make a variety, and you have all your needs met per week. Plus they're easy to portion and store, freeze, etc.
thank you. i dont have a good dr. he just says watch my diet. 🙄but Keto has me down 45 lbs. in a year. i am 60 with arthritis, and have beta thalassemia minor, so my blood test always has high Hematocrit45.6, low mch 26.7,, low absolute lymphocytes740, & red blood cell high 5.70. but good news, A1c was 6.9, now 5.4. i just get concerned about eating too much meat with my condition.
Dear Doctor Dan I watched your 9 signs you are on ketosis and how to lower your insulin levels they were really great but I have some thing to clear about that i weighed around 105 kgs and wanted to reduce my weight so I started a low carb diet after five days i measured my blood sugar after 2 hours of meal it was 92 and I started to loose weight but when I test blood sugar after every five days it started rising gradually 97 , 108 , 111 and 113 by today I lost 7 kgs and weigh 98 kgs by now but I am afraid that am I moving towards prediabetic sugar levels should I stop my low carb diet and start consuming calories Please reply doctor you are my only hope and it took 20 days for me to go from 92 to 113 blood sugar and 106 to 98 kgs
I live in central Minnesota in a medium-sized city. Unless you have a connection with a local farmer. chicken or beef liver is what I can find. I love liver. I liked head cheese 40 years ago. Thank you for your run-down
I love kwark. As a child in the Netherlands the Doctor told my aunt to give it to me everyday with Roosvicee(a vitamin syrop)..As an adult visiting the Netherlands I just ate it as a yogurt. Its the first time I hear it mentioned in a video. Question. When you say seeds or nuts do not have all the essential aminoacids. With what foods you can combine them to get all the aminoacids?
Hemp seed is one of the most complete proteins and fats of any non-meat food. Though, for vegetarians Vitamin B supplements are needed and you need to make sure your hemoglobin (iron) levels are high enough in your blood.
Most internet Docs, turned nutritionists, pimp, "Buy the most expensive eggs that you can afford." They pronounce it as though it is a proven scientific fact without ever citing or linking a valid study. A Canadian TV station did do their own inquiry into the nutritional value of different kinds of eggs (free range vs. caged, organic vs. commercial feed, etc.) and their lab results said that there is no significant difference between the various chicken eggs in your local grocery store. They said that the more expensive eggs are not adding any additional nutrition for the dollar. So, for me, I buy inexpensive eggs and use the savings elsewhere. And, in the meantime, I keep waiting for one of the internet Docs to scientifically support their claim that we will benefit by buying more expensive eggs. Dr. Dan, the ball is in your court. And so far, no Doc has responded with a "cite to a study" to a post like this. I have been asking for around two years.
Try Goat and Sheep Yoghurts, for a More digestible alternative to Cow's. It s pricier, but not if you eat less of it ,which we should anyway.Vanilla Stevia ,will make it taste like Pudding for dessert
I have 2 tbs low sodium cottage cheese with my yogurt. This is a meal. Also lamb is readily available in the U.S. but you have to watch prices as it can be really expensive. Living in New England there's a huge variety of fish but again, watch your prices.
Gets thumbs down because I'm a vegan and this man is a meat pusher. There's no excuse for breeding animals for eating when a vegan diet is workable. I'm 70 and a lifelong vegan.
If you are wondering about goat meat, I used to keep goats in Wales. The meat is a cross between venison and lamb but less fatty than lamb and the fat more palatable, than lamb. There are groeing opportunities to acquire goat fro Halal buchers. Give it a try!!
I remember coming across an old Hungarian cookbook. I noticed that there was a lot of organ meat recipes in the book. (Including lung). I'm not ready to go there yet. LOL
In my parents and grandparents diets organ meat was a staple, so I'm familiar with, but out of the habit. While you were discussing it I was thinking about adding it to chili. Thanks for the video!
Well doctor not all people can handle a high protein low carb diet. I stay away from grains and refined sugar but I have to consume lots of fruits because I will get constipated. The ketogenic diet Will not work for me . Also you should factor in that people have different genetics. What may work for you may not necessary work for me .
Problem for me with soy. Have survived breast cancer so have no estrogen in my diet. And hearing you talk about processing soy I will keep it out of my diet.
I love to eat fish, but here in US (Las Vegas)Beef prices are great, Fish costs twice more than beef. Fish also shrink after cooking. Forthose reason I eat beef more often than fish.
Quark is new? I ate it as a kid, my parents ate it as a kid, my grandparents ate it as a kid and so on and so forth. I like Kräterquark and Topfenstrudel the most.
CORNED BEEF IS MADE WITH BEEF, BEEF HEARTS AND SALT. EASY WAY TO GET SOME ORGAN MEAT IN (I AM NOT KEEN TO EAT OFFAL PLAIN). DELICIOUS WITH EGG AND AVOCADO :)
Honestly, I was horrified at the mere thought of organ meats and offal! 😜 My mother loved chicken liver and I tried it several times. I just don’t like the taste or the texture.
