This is the 2nd in a 7-video series on keto diets. In case you missed the first one, check out Is Keto an Effective Cancer-Fighting Diet? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-Ke....

Stay tuned for:
• Keto Diet Results for Weight Loss (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/Keto-...)
• Is Weight Loss on Ketosis Sustainable? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/is-We...)
• Are Keto Diets Safe? (http://nutritionfacts.org/video/are-k...)

The more things change, the more they stay the same. I did a whole website about the Atkin’s Diet and sadly people keep falling into the low carb trap.

Some of my older videos on low-carb diets include:
• Atkins Diet: Trouble Keeping It Up (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/atki...)
• Paleolithic Lessons (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/pale...)
• Whole Grains May Work as Well as Drugs (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/whol...)
• Low Carb Diets and Coronary Blood Flow (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/low-...)
• Alzheimer’s Disease: Grain Brain or Meathead? (https://nutritionfacts.org/video/alzh...)
