The Truth About Dairy and Keto - Dr. Eric Westman 

Me too!

agreed already have enough limitations with other food

I agree. It can’t be more restrictive than it already is.

Don't forget the butter, made from cream.

@@steph6197 love the butter!

Those of us who are Northern Europeans thrive on these foods. This fool has to cowtow to the others.

Take another listen you missed his point

Glad for you. However, dairy causes me many issues, including the inability to lose body fat. When i quit dairy, waist inches started dropping. 47 inches down to 39 inches

Okay ?

I need dairy, my body craves it. I probaby eat about an ounce of cheese each day, but I'm also on OMAD so everything is consumed in one meal. I'm losing about one pound per week which is fine.

This.

nah, meats taste great

maybe you need a bridge like cheese in the beginning but eventually that should go away. I started out eating lots of steak that was so tasty there was no need for anything else. I do have cravings and indulge in some things like cheese but it gets better and better as time goes by. I think it is worse to be hard on yourself and hold yourself to a standard that you know will end in failure. I am still addicted to coffee, though I have switched to decaf. But I think I have achieved so much. Rome was not built overnight.

Me too! Cream is the answer for me.

I drink my morning coffee(s) black, but if I am trying to push not eating a bit longer, or if I am gonna be at work for a long shift(I never eat at work), I use cream in my coffee to help get me through until I eat .

I have a casein intolerance. Every time I stop dairy, I'll think well I can have butter and cream because they are so low in casein. Then I consume those 2 dairy things and my craving for cheese triggers and I end up eating cheese again. I have to stay off all dairy (sad face)

@@dianasthings729 Ghee is clarified butter so any residual casein and lactose is removed. It's a good replacement in cooking. Can't tell you whether it alone would cause cravings for cheese.

I think the information you share here is so interesting. I don’t know the science behind pasteurization, but do you know what part of the process or what the change is that occurs in pasteurization that may render it “irritating” to our system? Thank you.

@@cindygunn7 ❄️I believe pasteurization removes all of the beneficial, good bacteria which changes the impact on us.

Real milk is raw! I love it!

@@lifestationexpresslinda9425 ☕️Cream is to die fir, no carbs.

I hear nothing but good about raw milk - _IF_ you can get it !

Wow ... ! Interesting...

there's a difference between cheese and butter

I first cut out cheese because cheese kept making me hungry, and i did not want to see the reality. I still kept having butter (but no more HWC). I often made brown butter bites and eate them with carnivore meals. Only when my pants no longer fitted did I wake up to the reality that the milk sugar in milk made me gain weight (and not little!!!). Since I cut out butter and mainly use lard and ghee (home-made) my pants are on the way to fitting again.

The reason why you’re experiencing problems is because dairy is for baby cows

​@@zorabw8948 Butter has zero lactose in it. there is no milk sugar in plain butter

Thank you for watching 😊

Janet there is so much info out there on keto that is confusing. I too have done a ton of research and attempted keto a few times before but couldn’t sustain it due to tracking macros, and eating so much extra fats etc. So finding Dr Westman’s approach I am relieved! His easy pg 4 instructions are really refreshing and I am giving it a go. I just started this week and already feel some progress. Wishing you all the best.

Thank you 🙌

DEAR DR.WESTMAN THANKS FOR CARING ABOUT PEOPLES HEALTH.

I tried bullet proof coffee and just didn't like the consistency. My recommendation is to find a good blend that you find satisfying and just drink it black.

@@MysterySemicolon In our houses, we're not about to consume ANYTHING with a tacky-sounding name. We're not going to have "Bulletproof Coffee", or "Fat Bombs", any more than we're going to have "Dump Cakes", "a cuppa java", "PBJs", or "Mac-&-Cheese".

@@megaswenson The basics are what counts, not fancy names.

Not much of a meal.

Agreed. I'm Eastern European too. Could not make this diet work without dairy.

Thank you🙌

@@AdaptYourLife k

Exactly the same 🙂 whipped cream with berries is my weak point

is this sugar free whipped cream?

@@HomeFromFarAway yes

Not true. If youre allergic to milk protein (casein) then it doesn't matter which pink unicorn of purity made it. It will still take you down. You're spreading dangerous misinformation about something you know nothing about.

Just noticed that too🇿🇦😁

😍

You do get that Dr. Weston's practice is aimed at helping the obese and diabetic, hence his natural inclination to teach keto from a weight loss perspective. There are many other keto channels with a focus on sports performance, etc..

Hashimoto’s here and no dairy for me too.

U should try raypeat approach !

I know the feeling. I could eat several blocks of mild cheese every week if it wasn't so expensive! Maybe cost is my "moderation" process! I don't have weight issues however but it can cause constipation in high doses to many.

How much( in grams) do you allow yourself on Keto a day to keep losing weight ????

Plain yoghurt is good for gut health. I intend to keep eating it regardless of the reply as it fits into my daily carb allowance and has calcium and potassium which I need to consume.

Not worth it FOR YOU! Others have absolutely no problem.

wondering how not eating dairy would give you joint pain? I got joint pain from grains, wheat and very bad from rice because its full of arsenic. The other grains are full of roundup. When I stopped eating grains, my joints are so much more fluid and my arthritis in my knee went away.

Good point. I've come to that realization myself.

I am blessed to do well with dairy. I just wish I could find a fresh source around me.

Have you tried Fairlife lactose free milk.

@@cybersal7 my mom used to drink Lactaid and never lost an ounce with it.

Yeah, I have the same issue. I have to measure out my daughter's milk to ensure there's enough for her or else I'll down it all 😢 Milk is an addictive substance.

No. It doesn't work for casein allergy.

I think the advice is for people who want to lose weight, which is many people. For the rest of us, I agree with you that it's a great fat source.

We are all learning together ... 👍

By eating the fat that is naturally found in the food means you will feel satiated.

I have that problem too, even though I've ditched the (plain) yogurt and also cream in my coffee. I'm now limiting full milk in my coffee to 50mls., about 1 tablespoon but the problem whilst reduced, still persists. Maybe I need to follow your lead and drop the dairy completely. Thanks for your insight.

Milk protein allergy is common.

Yes, high fat meaning it comes from your body fat. That’s where people get it wrong, they think it means Nutritional Fat.

OMG... I also thought we had to consume a lot of FAT!😳 some doctors say to eat a lot of fat instead of carbs because insulin is pulled from fat or something like that. 🤔

Yep! High fat low carb! Focus on protein and fats and see how much rooms left fir other things :)

The leaner you get the more fat you will need, according to ted naiman

HIGH fat carnivore here (2yrs now) High Fat keto prior (5yrs) I also lost 50lbs.......and never returned HIGH fat......is great if no low carbs and sugars Body.....goes Fat Adaptive Energy......ONLY comes from bodies fat, calories you eat!! Last night/evening after ?? 18hrs of nothing (black coffee) ......i finished day before meal of Eggs over easy, rib eye and beacon I reheated added 3 more eggs topped with sour cream and cheddar cheese

I lost 50 lbs in 5 months. High fat, cheese, cream, butter, 20 carbs or less, intermittent fasting, OMAD. No cravings, no more joint pain, no gas, more energy, better sleep. Basically, feel 20 years younger at 66.

I love Greek yogurt but it does have 5 grams of carbs for 2/3 cup serving (Fagi)

Too right. Low carb AND low fat is an old fashioned crash diet. I think maybe he's speaking to the people who eat huge amounts of those things because there's no way low carb hunger can be satisfied without a reasonable amount of fats and oils, including cheese and dairy fats. And I'm not going without the calcium needed for bone health.

It isn't low carb AND low fat. There are many other keto-approved fats, eg animal fat, eggs, avocado, coconut, and olives.

@@veniqe Sure but dairy free is a Paleo thing. I wouldn't even do Paleo with the allowable fruit, if I can't have cream and cheese ... and cream cheese! They make keto bearable, ol.

Goat's milk has the same effect on me as cows

@@franbrough129 I don't speak from experience here, but from what I understand a lot of people have different experiences with goat milk products than cow milk products. One of the main differences is supposedly the types of proteins. Those in goats milk is less likely to cause an undesirable reaction than cows milk.

@Craig Slitzer. If people had a source of raw A2/A2 cow milk they would most likely have no issues with allergies, etc. I know people personally that have severe milk allergy, not just a lactose intolerance, and when they drink raw A/2 milk they have no issues. They don’t even need to take medication to tolerate the milk. The problem is that most dairy cows in this country are Holsteins and the majority of Holsteins produce A1 milk, which is why so many people cannot tolerate it. Now the Guernsey and Jersey breeds of dairy cattle are mostly A2’s but they are vastly outnumbered in the big dairies that produce the fluid milk for consumption in this country. If all people had access to the A2 protein milk AND raw milk, we would not be seeing issues with milk intolerance. People with just a lactose intolerance usually can drink raw milk and have no problem with intolerance. Pasteurization is what messes up the lactase in the milk. Raw milk has received a bad rap for decades and it is ridiculous! It has been all our family has drank for 25 years as we have our own family cows, which are also A2 milk producers. We have nephews which experienced issues with store bought milk but when they came to our farm and drank our milk they had no problems whatsoever.

@@kellyschroer2114 Thanks for this information about A2 milk. I had no idea about Guernsey or Jersey cows being A2. Thing is, is A2 milk sold anywhere other than farms? Sadly, where I live, there are no sources of this milk or raw milk so I'm taking my chances with cheese and hoping for the best (I don't feel bad with cheese as long as I don't go over the top with the consumption rations :D ), cheese from Marks and Spencers (I have a weakness for mild cheese). Now, I did try raw milk years ago but there were caveats. A), although I experienced an initial euphoric feeling from the initial drink, I had major stomach cramps and some intolerance from the dairy unfortunately. Plus, the one I bought if from only sold it in huge quantities and within under 48hours the milk soured - even in the freezer as I tried to turn it into natural ice cream. I was intolerant to it so it was probably still A1 milk. If I know for sure that A2 milk is sold in some stores, I will look into it and try it out just to see if I can handle the lactose in that. I sadly cannot afford top brand organic kinds but may have to go for something like ALDI/LIDL/SAINSBURYS ORGANIC as I'm sadly not genetically gifted to the point where I can become a cash cow (excuse the pun!)for top tier health. On the plus side, I have an immune system that functions better than the average person in the UK these days as most people tend to lean towards a corn oil diet loaded in sugar toppings and excess carbs, and my body cannot tolerate most carb foods or sugar and even many fruits don't concur with me either.

@@dancercj1491 there are some stores, I think, that carry the a2 milk but it is expensive from what I’ve heard. Which is typical when it is something good for you, the industry always wants to cash in on it and make a profit. They’re not concerned with the consumers health or welfare, just their bottom line. ☹️. But remember even if you find some in a store, it will still be pasteurized and that’s what usually causes the lactose intolerance problem. To my knowledge a store cannot sell raw milk. Also even if you get milk from a farm, it should last way longer than 48 hrs, I have had milk in the frig for up to 10 days before it starts to sour! It lasts longer in the winter months for sure but still, as long as the refrigerator is kept at around 38* it should last fine. And we always use glass jars to store it in, your milk has better flavor in glass.

Pretty much. I eat about 3 or 4 tbsps or more per day. I mean heaped. Big hunks of butter lol. Then a tsp in a decaff coffee too.

I have one every other day for breakfast. Hasn’t affected my weight loss.
