Today we’re going to answer the question, “is carbonated water healthier than non-carbonated water?”

I could find no evidence that carbonated water is better or worse for you than non-carbonated water. However, when I consume carbonated water, my digestion is better.

It could be because:

• Carbonic acid could buffer the pH

• It acidifies the digestive system

Bottled water pH — 7

Perrier pH — 5.5-5.8

Coca Cola pH — 2.5

Battery acid pH — 1.0

When you go below 7, things are more acidic. Because the stomach has the lowest pH of any part of the body, carbonic acid being a weak acid, might be better than regular water for some people.

Types of carbonated water:

Seltzer water — no minerals, carbonated

Club soda — minerals, carbonated

Tonic water — Quinine, carbonated

Are you afraid to know what's in hot dogs? Are hot dogs safe to eat? Well, in this video, I'm going to share with you the truth about hot dogs.

I'm not going to be talking about the bun or the stuff you might put on a hot dog, just the commercial hot dog itself.

So, what are some hot dog ingredients? First off, they have what's called trimmings.

Pig, chicken, and cow trimmings:

• Low-grade muscle meat

• Fat

• Head meat

• Feet

• Skin

• Blood

• Liver

• Edible by-products (brain, intestines, kidneys, mechanically de-boned meat, pig tail, spleen, tongue)

Other hot dog ingredients:

• Salt (not sea salt)

• Spices

• Preservatives

• Corn syrup

• Dextrose

Do you ever eat when you're not hungry—even while you're trying to lose weight? I have a rule that I teach in all of my books and programs. The rule is simple: don't eat when you're not hungry. In this video, I talk about three things that relate to this.

How to stop eating when you're not hungry:

#1 Satisfied/not hungry

If you're on a healthy keto diet and you're doing intermittent fasting correctly, you are not going to feel hungry. If you are hungry and you frequently have cravings on keto, you aren't doing something correctly.

#2 Environment

How well can you resist temptation? On a scale from 1 to 10—10 being very disciplined, and 1 being unable to resist a doughnut if it's in arm's length—how do you score? Write it down in the comments below; I want to know.

#3 Past habits

Many people eat out of habit. Don't do this. If you're used to having a snack while you're watching a movie or if you feel like you can't waste any food on your plate, then you have to break these habits.

Egg Yolks: Orange or Yellow - Which is Better? Mar 22, 2020

Orange versus yellow egg yolk—which is better? In this video, I explain why egg yolks can be different colors and what kind of eggs you should have.

When you crack open an egg and see that it has a dark orange egg yolk, it’s a sign that it’s an egg from a pasture-raised chicken. Organic, pasture-raised chickens eat natural grass and insects. This means you won’t be consuming GMOs.

Factory-farmed eggs are a pale yellow color. These chickens consume GMO grains, which I don’t recommend. Sometimes pasture-raised organic eggs can have a yellow egg yolk, but they won’t be pale.

Pasture-raised organic eggs have more carotenoids, which is a plant-based antioxidant that has a wide range of benefits. If you are developing vision problems as you age, you are especially going to want to consume pasture-raised eggs. Carotenoids can help you avoid macular degeneration.

Keep in mind that when you see the term “cage-free,” this doesn’t mean these are necessarily better eggs. They could still be held in a large barn with no sunlight, and they are often not non-GMO.

How Much Dietary Protein Will Prevent Muscle Loss? Mar 21, 2020

In this podcast, we’re going to cover protein and muscle loss. How much dietary protein do you need to avoid muscle loss?

RDA - the recommended dietary allowance for protein is .8g of protein per kg or .36 times your pounds. For example, I weigh 185, so I would do .36 times 185, which is 67g of protein I should have per day.

However, there are many problems with the above recommendation.

It might be shocking, but a small portion of the protein you eat actually turns into muscle or body tissue. For example, 100g (or 3 oz) of steak only provides 25g of actual protein.

If someone exercises intensely, that could affect the amount of protein they need. But the quality of protein is also important—especially since certain proteins do not turn into body tissue at any significant level.

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about what’s behind a glute cramp on keto.

Let’s say you have:

• A cramp or muscle spasm in your butt

• You’ve been diagnosed with deep gluteal spasm

• You’ve been diagnosed with piriformis syndrome

It all goes back to an electrolyte deficiency. Primarily, it is a sodium deficiency. What this really means is that you aren’t consuming enough sea salt.

When you start keto or intermittent fasting, you lose a lot of water. With the water loss, you also lose sodium.

You need to increase the amount of sodium you’re getting. If you’ve tried potassium, magnesium, and calcium for cramps and it hasn’t worked—you need to try adding more sea salt.

I would recommend 1-2 teaspoons of sea salt per day. If you’re exercising you may need 2 teaspoons.

To get more sodium, you can:

• Add more sea salt to your food

• Add sea salt to your water with lemon

• Take sea salt capsules

**Himalayan sea salt is the best to have.

Have you ever wondered if pasta is bad, why do Italians live so long? Do Italians know the secret to longevity? In this video, I’m going to share with you why this is. You’re also going to see an interview I did with a woman from Sardinia. We’re going to talk about what exactly Sardinians eat.

In Liguria, Italians live longer than any other region in Europe.

In Sardinia, Italians are tied with Japan as living the longest.

Out of 1091 residents aged over 105 years old, 951 of them are female. This is because of estrogen. Estrogen can act as an antioxidant and will slow down the free radical exposure and damage to the DNA.

What’s so different about the pasta in Europe?

• There is no glyphosate.

• It’s not enriched with iron and synthetic vitamins.

The Toxic Effects of Excess Iron: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=brCfM...

In this podcast, we’re going to talk about red meat. Is red meat good for you, or is red meat bad for you?

Many of the well known so-called dangers of eating red meat don’t seem to hold up.

I don’t recommend consuming any processed meats. I recommend consuming organic grass-fed meat. Grass-fed red meat is not going to cause serious issues.

There are certain toxic chemicals that are generated when you heat protein, especially if you heat it with sugar on it like barbecue sauce. It’s best if you don’t overly cook red meat because the more you heat the meat, the more chemicals there can be.

You can also lessen these chemicals by adding:

• Mustard

• Garlic

• Black pepper

• Herbs (basil, hot pepper, oregano, rosemary)

Are you not hungry on keto, but you’re still feeling weak? Well, this video is for you.

One of the best indicators to know if you’re in ketosis is the hunger goes away. But at the same time, you should not have low energy or fatigue on keto. If you’re feeling weak while on keto, it’s likely related to nutrient deficiencies.

How to fix low energy or feeling weak on the ketogenic diet:

Muscle weakness - Deficiency of vitamin E or sodium

Consume: Seeds, nuts, leafy greens, or a vitamin E complex supplement for a vitamin E deficiency. For low sodium, consume at least 1 tsp. of sea salt per day.

Brain Fog - Insulin resistance

Consume: MCT oil, and vitamin D

Fatigue - A vitamin B1, vitamin B5, or potassium deficiency

Consume: Nutritional yeast, potassium, and magnesium (electrolytes, and vegetables).

In this podcast, I talk about refeeding after prolonged fasting. If you're on a longer fast—I'm talking about 4-7+ days, not 2 days—there's a rare situation that can occur called refeeding syndrome.

What happens is that your body experiences a shift of nutrients from the blood to the cells — this occurs when you have nutrient deficiencies already before you begin your fast.

Then, fasting makes the situation worse because you aren't getting any nutrients. Keep in mind that if you have known vitamin deficiencies, you should not do prolonged fasting.

What I recommend is to have vitamin supplements, electrolytes, and sea salt during your fast to make up for deficiencies. This won't break your fast.

How to refeed after prolonged fasting:

When you do break your fast with food, don't have carbohydrates, sugars, and or any other non-keto-friendly foods. These can actually further deplete your nutrients and create a big problem. Instead, break your fast slowly with keto-friendly foods.
