Send us a textDr. Westman Reviews: Pork Rinds vs Veggie ChipsWhen done properly, keto diets typically control appetite and reduce hunger so well that people tend to eat less without even trying. They’re also able to go much longer between meals without feeling a need to snack. But since we’re only human and many of us enjoy a crunchy snack now and then – or sometimes something crunchy as part of a meal – which is better if you’re following a low-carb or keto diet – pork rinds or veggie chips?Check out Dr. Westman’s latest video to hear his opinion on pork rinds (a.k.a. chicharrones) versus veggie chips or veggie straws, which are typically marketed as “healthy.”FREE GUIDE � Start Keto Righthttps://adaptyourlifeacademy.com/start-keto-right-bonus/

Send us a textSome people who adopt a keto diet have no problem saying goodbye to old favorites like bread, rice, potatoes, and pasta. But others like to find keto-friendly substitutes for these high-carb foods. With the growing popularity of keto, there are pasta substitutes everywhere – some made from veggies, some from beans, and some made from other starches that are high in fiber. So, what are the best pasta substitutes for a truly ketogenic diet? Which are the least likely to cause problems with blood sugar or weight loss?

Send us a textPeople often write to Dr. Westman to ask for his opinions on the ever-growing selection of low- and zero-carb foods and beverages available now.  There’s a dizzying array of diet and no-sugar soft drinks and carbonated beverages out there, but which ones are best?The main rules are: don’t force yourself to drink something you don’t like just because it’s zero-carb!  Drink what you like, and always be mindful of the total carbs you’re consuming in any given day, from foods and beverages combined. Check out Dr. Westman’s latest video to hear his thoughts on Zevia, Spindrift, and other soft drinks.Join our Keto Made Simple course: https://adaptyourlifeacademy.com/keto...

Send us a textWhen people find Dr. Westman and learn about his method for doing keto, they’re often surprised that the food list he’s been using in his clinic for twenty years doesn’t include nuts. That means no nut flours or nut butters, either. These things aren’t bad for you, but they’re very common “trigger” foods – for many people, once they start eating them, they can’t stop. (If your serving size of nut butter is half a jar, you’re not alone! 😆) Not only does the fat add up quickly that way, but so do the carbs! Overdoing fat and carbs often stands in the way of weight loss and improving your health. Watch Dr. Westman’s latest video for more on why nut flours are not part of his approach to keto.Sign up for our start keto right challenge here 👇https://adaptyourlifeacademy.com/start-keto-right-challenge/

Send us a textFor decades, people were told to limit fat in their diet—saturated fat, in particular. But now, we know that eating too much sugar—and for some people, too much carbohydrate of any kind—is the real culprit behind obesity, type 2 diabetes, PCOS, fatty liver, and more.Watch Dr. Westman’s latest video to learn why he says, “Most chronic medical conditions today—if not all chronic medical conditions—are caused by excessive carbohydrate consumption.”  FREE GUIDE: The 6 Biggest Obstacles A Sugar Addict Faces …And What To Do About Them https://adaptyourlifeacademy.com/6-bi...

Send us a textShould you check your blood sugar (a.k.a. blood glucose) at home? You can use a fingerstick glucometer for a one-time measurement of your blood sugar, and continuous glucose monitors (CGMs) that measure it 24/7 are increasingly available, too. Do you need to use one of these? They can be helpful, but they’re not necessary for most people. (Remember, people have been using low-carb diets for over two hundred years to lose weight and reverse type 2 diabetes.) If you take insulin for type 2 or type 1 diabetes, then measuring your blood sugar is extremely important so that you can adjust your insulin doses safely. Apart from that, though, Dr. Westman has been helping patients reverse type 2 diabetes long before CGMs even existed – and if you don’t have diabetes, then measuring your glucose really isn’t necessary. Watch Dr. Westman’s latest video for his thoughts on these glucose-measuring technologies.FREE BONUS: The 6 Biggest Obstacles A Sugar Addict Faces …And What To Do About Them https://adaptyourlifeacademy.com/6-bi...

Send us a textOne of the best things you can do to control your blood sugar is to avoid beverages sweetened with sugar, high-fructose corn syrup, and other caloric sweeteners. Even for people not following low-carb or keto diets, ditching these can go a long way toward improving health. And that doesn’t mean you can never drink anything that tastes sweet. The way that Dr. Westman has been teaching keto for twenty years, you can use diet soda and other artificially sweetened drinks.This is a controversial issue, but diet and sugar-free drinks haven’t stood in the way of his patients getting great results in weight loss, reversing type 2 diabetes, and more.

Send us a textIt’s normal for your blood sugar to rise a lot after a meal, right?Not necessarily! A small rise is pretty normal, but you don’t want it to go up substantially. People with healthy metabolisms will see only a relatively small rise in blood glucose after a meal. The more sensitive you are to carbohydrates – the more insulin resistant you are – the more your glucose will rise. (But for some people, the rise in glucose will be minimal because a very large rise in insulin is keeping it in check.) It might be that a larger rise in glucose is only considered “normal” because it happens so often – in people on high-carb diets!
