No, ketogenic eating does not “promote” consuming “too much coconut oil.” Thank you.

Well, as it says in the piece, “One serving of this keto smoothie recipe using cacao powder and without toppings contains the following, including only 6.1 net carbs (total carb grams minus fiber grams).” So of your three main meals, this one only has 6 net carbs. 14 more net carbs to spend!

I am looking forward to being healthier – this for me isn’t just for 30 days – it is a lifestyle change!
Thank you for your commitment to helping people get healthy – and for writing a book that is readable and understandable! You have a gift and you worship and honor God in using it!

I love coconut milk and would like to try this recipe however if I have more than half a cup of coconut milk I come out in hives all over my body. If I substitute most of the coconut milk for almond milk (in this recipe and others) will I still be getting the right fat content or should I add something else like hemp seeds?

That’s wonderful! I have always been overweight and I am afraid to do a diet program where you eat so many “fat” things! My doctor had told me to follow the Mediterranean Diet to lower my cholesterol.

I’m a type II diabetic. I’m really interested in trying the Keto diet but not sure if it will work. I watched your show today and when you talked about it aiding in neurological conditions as well I thought “I need to give this a try”. Not only am I a diabetic but I also encountered neurosarcoidosis. Dr. I want so bad to be off all the medications that I take daily. I really want to do this to better my health. Where do I begin?

I believe you would add the frozen avocado to the smoothie, like you’d add ice to other types of smoothies…so they are more like a frozen drink instead of just all watery.

This smoothie has far more fat than a Big Mac. But of course, very different fat. However, both contain significant saturated fat. Discarding the bun from the equation, still very different, right? But does everyone’s liver deal with fat the same way?
I don’t gain weight no matter what I eat, but for years that consisted of low to no fat and very high carb intake. For 45 years; that’s fueled my hour long daily aerobic and weight lifting workouts. High fat intake makes me tired and sluggish, lacking the stamina to run or swim at the volume I like to do, and if by chance I can get it all in, it’ ends up being at a slower pace. Possibly what is good for one is not good for all.
