You also need to advise ppl who eat it in recipes to drink plenty fluids afterwards as I'm currently off keto because of having this and flaxseed powder in my keto recipes everyday... i was in agony for 3 days I think it must have solidified or caused a blockage on my intestines... I would advise using it sparingly or then not everyday. I think if it is hydrated first before cooking may reduce that risk.
Loved this video. Demystifying all these crazy kooky ingredients - thanks! A few Qs though: Your best ever keto bread uses flaxseed powder, which also turns gelatinous in liquid. Could you swap it with psyllium and would you get the same results? Are psyllium and flaxseed pretty much the same thing in terms of cooking and health benefits? Your best ever keto bread uses vital gluten, I'm assuming to bind everything together; why not just use psyllium husks instead and avoid gluten altogether? Lastly, love the scales! What brand are they? Ive bought all the ingredients for that bread just last night, and I'll report my results as soon as I've made it. Cant wait :)
I mix psyllium with carob, cacoa, chia seeds, flaxseed, nutritional yeast, hemp hearts raisins, water and then I put some Greek yogurt on top. A yummy treat packed with fiber.
I've known for decades about psyllium as a fiber supplement, but had no idea of the properties pertaining to baking. Wish I'd known this about 25 years ago, I had a few years that I had some food allergies (over them, now, thanks to strict avoidance and natural treatment for 4 years) and it would have made wheat-egg-and-dairy free baking a lot easier. Will still come in handy when I cook for others with food issues, plus my own reduced carb needs.
+jbeargrr Yeah, it is a massive help with low carb baking. It helps get close to the bread or sponge like texture in many recipes. Well at least you know now and can use it to help in your low carb efforts! Thanks for the comment!
Do you mind describing the steps you took to get rid of your allergies naturally? I am trying with some success, but not where I want to be. Keep hitting roadblocks.
He panned his mic audio far left... Idk why he did but if your left bud is broke I'd suggest speeding the video up to 200% and doing a little dance about it
I found the easiest way for me to take psyllium husks is to pop a teaspoon full of dry husks into my mouth and quickly swallow it down with water -- after a swirl or two. I make sure to stop breathing when I put it in my mouth because I don't want any to get into my lungs. That way I also avoid any sweetener.
Every time I give a like in your videos even before watching them. Love, love your recipes, so clear explained, and your kindness to work hard in order to detail everything by writing a very useful text that is the perfect complement to your videos. Tank you so much!
+Eliana I T M Z WOW! You are amazing! What an incredibly kind and thoughtful comment. Thank you so much for appreciating the effort I put into the channel. It makes me very happy to hear how much you love the videos. My deepest thanks for the wonderful comment!
Try just before eating a meal. But really anytime will do. Just ensure you drink enough liquid throughout the day and particularly around the time you have the psyllium.
wow you drank that fast thank you for teaching us the difference between the powder and the whole I never heard of psyllium husk until I subscribed to your channel and then I found some in my mum's cupboard lol 👍😆
Try some of the bread recipes I have on my channel - they are much nicer than what you describe. You can find them here:ru-vid.com/group/PLDyX11ndvEMtCmbxc3z76oz3hxv36kKrs
i make a 10part water to one part psylliumseed one quart & shake & drink ALL within 15 seconds. relax & let it get in2 the intestine. THEN go out & do hard physical work all day. the magic happens ... @ night or next day a solid tube impression of yur intestine comes out - full of AAALOT'a old weird shit & stuff. FEELS FANTASTIC afterwards ... great relief 2 get the intestine very cleaned out.
+Mike Martinez i haven't seen a generic fibre powder, but I don't think it is interchangeable Mike. It would perhaps depend on what that fibre powder is made from. Are you not able to find psyllium husks where you are?
Problems with psyllium husk is it is a laxative. You have to be careful not to use very large amount in recipes. Unless you like sitting on the toilet all the next day. Cut the amount in a recipe by half and substitute the other half with ground flax seed. Not only will it affect you so strongly the flax will help take the egg taste out of your Breads and dose. Try it and think you'll be happy with it. Or maybe you just like sitting in the bathroom looking at RU-vid recipes all day.
Oh, gosh. Putting a spoonful in a glass of water???? YUK! Put a teaspoon of it in your scrambled eggs. Put a teaspoon of it in your fat bombs. Put a half-teaspoon of it in a large recipe of salad dressing. Put a teaspoon of it in your protein smoothie...... Always put it in your Keto King *bread recipes!!!* Adding fiber to carbs slows down the glucose response to less of a spike and more of a bump. This will positively effect the Insulin also.
Do you have Amazon in Germany? I put links down to Amazon in the description box below, but you'd likely need to use Amazon Germany if there is such a thing.
+ayileoh music roger You can buy it here on Amazon: : ►Whole Psyllium Husk from Amazon: amzn.to/2zD504T ►Psyllium Husk Powder (ground Psyllium Husk) from Amazon: amzn.to/2zBJn4N
Psyllium Husk is very inexpensive to buy at any Indian grocery store . Since it's all fiber,It has been used in India for centuries for problems like Constipation.It's called ISBAGOL.
Thank you! Quite crazy the difference it makes - imagine this on a larger scale and how it can affect the quantities you are using. And yes, that is exactly why I always recommend food scales! Thanks for the comment!
Yeah, I wish more was using scales. When you are not from USA most of the meassurements makes no sense (because they doesn't) and the rest of the world has managed to agree on something that does give a whole lot of sense. Most scales however, do have a little tap where you can switch from grams to oz, so that is at least doable. There is so many things that I would never think of measuring in volume (about anything that isnt fluid) and its like all amreican recipes is cups of different sizes and it all confuses me :)
+Krydolph I agree, it's all a mess. I never know what measurements to use and I try include as many measurements as possible (input them in the description box of each video) so everyone can find a measurement useful to them.
You need to drink a glass of water or juice straight after you took the husk because it swells up so much. Plus it also helps to bind you up after a bout of diarrhoea
This stuff is fantastic.. An Ex of mine suffered from Colitis real bad, going to the toilet was err.. hard. I got her to drink water with Psyllium husk with two of her meals & everything was soft soft soft... This stuff is magic for gut and colon health & make my keto breads & cakes have a wheat like texture. I'm making your Keto Blueberry muffins with it right now.. Cheers Keto King..
+WeZ Thanks for the great feedback. Yeah, it does have a lot of great uses. And you are gonna love those blueberry muffins! Let me know how you enjoy them!
Add the right spices and some stevia, coconut sugar or xylitol and you got a nice pudding! You can do the same with chia seeds. Wonderful pudding alternatives.
Thanks, glad you liked the video. Regarding the sound, you'll be happy to know I've invested in a better microphone, so future video's audio quality should be better.
Thank you so much for this video. I just had the unfortunate circumstance of making a Naan bread recipe I was very much looking forward to & had done much research of many Keto recipes. No one mentioned there was a difference in the pure husks & the powder I bought Psyllium Husk Powder-not knowing. Needless to say my bread turned out a very ugly blue gray/purple! It also did not taste like good Naan bread. So everyone should be very careful. None of the recipes mentioned the difference! Thank you! I had to toss my bread & looks like I will have to toss the Psyllium powder too!
So i was watching this video and thought "What a waste of time! No explanation, just plain old music" then i wondered why it has so many likes ... and that's when i realized i was just listening with Right earphone :D the explanation was coming from the Left :D Great video though!
Psyllium Husk has many health benefits including weight loss. We just uploaded a video on our channel on how to use it for weight loss and other potential health benefits.
Great video. I ordered your ebook and WOW! It's 340 pages and full of everything you need to know about keto. Nicely done too. Super professional. Order it!
Thank you SOOO much for those words. It means so much to me as I poured a lot of love into that book. Amazing to hear how you loved it and found it so helpful.
A lot of people on hear having bowel issues, fibre deficiency is a killer with rates of colorectal cancer and diverticulitis on the rise. Both are linked lack of fibre in the diet. Fibre doesn’t provide direct nutrition but it does provide a food source for friendly bacteria in the gut which thank us by making enzymes like propionate which has anti cancer effects in the body. This is from new data released from the gut project which is a citizen science project to study the gut microbiome they have looked at over 10000 people so far and are now getting really good data. They also found worryingly traces of antibiotics in people’s guts who haven’t taken any in years and that is coming from the meat that they eat due to intensive farming practices and they think this Macrodosing is giving rise to antibiotic resistant bacteria. This is why eating clean is so important. Stay healthy and keep following the science.
Using this makes me look like I'm 9 months pregnant. I use chia seeds, hemp heart and flax seeds which are so nutritious, and so much healthier than this.
Great video!! I just started using Psyllium Husks. It has been a great addition to my ketogenic diet. Thank you for making this very informative video. Very well done.
Mr Keto King, what is the best time to take one tsp of the psyllium husk and preferably on an empty stomach? Secondly, I believe you need to drink a lot of water after drinking the psyllium husk throughout the day. Thirdly, if taking more than one tsp would it cause bowel run? Your advice is much appreciated.
Have you ever done a bread recipe that is left to ferment? I had a bread recipe that used yeast and sat for 24 hours which made a wonderful fermentation that was not a sourdough. I mean as eating this bread. Was wondering if you had a sub?
According to what I read, if you bake it, you won't get the same digestive benefits. So not sure if it's going to be actually keto friendly if you bake it because you will be absorbing carbs?
I made some naan bread with coconut flour and Psyllium husk fibers and believe me, I had multiple trips to the toilet for the next few days after eating them!! So if you guys have a bowel movement problem, make some coconut/psyllium husk naan bread and things will happen!!!
Also... I get my husk from tablets.... you can get that, I really find the gooey water icy and I don't like it. so a few capsules makes wonder for my stomach. Fun fact though, it is often marketed for constipation, I have the opposite problem, I get diarrhea when I don't get enough fiber. Going on keto I had it non stop for 2 weeks until I started with the husk, before I would just eat some good ryebread with lots of grains, but that is off limits now, so happy to have discovered husk instead.
Yes, I can definitely see how capsules would be a 'tastier' option. Interesting about it's effect on your gut health - getting enough fiber in your diet is key for gut health!
