But is this actually true?Believe it or not, even though this has been the "conventional thinking" for a long time, it's based on highly flawed science and it doesn't fit the evidence.

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.

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 tha...

The way Dr. Westman teaches people to do keto, the only things people need to control are the total carbs they eat and the amount of fats and oils they add to their food. For most people, protein is self-limiting because it’s filling and satiating (it helps you stay full for a while), so it’s pretty rare that anyone would “overeat” pro...
