“Unripe bananas contain mostly starch, which makes up 70–80% of their dry weight.
However, bananas lose their starch as they ripen.
During ripening, the starch is converted into simple sugars (sucrose, glucose, and fructose). Interestingly, ripe bananas contain only 1% starch.”

I downloaded a carb list: how many carbs can be found in what food 😮
More shocking: the official recommendations from the government sponsored food center, including: eat less meat, less saturated fats and climate talk propaganda.
Recommended for adults:
- Calories: 2000
- Carbs: 260 gr.
- Sugars: 90 gr.
- Total fats: 70 gr.
- Included saturated fats: 20 gr.
- Protein: 50 gr.
- Salt: 6 gr.
The recommendations are different for people with diabetes: 50-130 gr. carbs daily.
I used to blend, for about 6-months of keto, but then changed to spinach, avocados, red chard and others, so no longer took kale...
Try it out and let me know how you cope with it...
This data comes from Dr. Berg and he is right.
Fats, protein and carbs all fill up, but we should pick the healthiest options.
So instead of getting my carbs from bread or pasta, I should try to get my carbs from fresh food instead of processed food.
Some things will be easy to replace: oils and real butter instead of plant based butter. But totally leaving bread out, I will go slow-motion. Meat & fish, I will look into it. Maybe thin slices first.
I'll have a few scoops and it does allow a good prolonged fast, without any food cravings, between meals....It's also useful if you reach your ideal weight and don't want to lose any more weight, through fat burning your own fat...I have a very small amount of body fat now and by adding fats in this way, can keep burning fats in food...as energy...So you not only feel satiated, but also have great ketone energy levels....😋
💡 An extra egg a day keeps the carbs away 🥚
I was already thinking about what types of yoghurt/creams would work in a low carb/keto diet. It may take a while until I get to the 70% fat level.
This is what Dr. Berg’s calculator recommends me. Although I currently eat way more carbs.
- Daily Calories: 1451
- Fat/Cal: 1204
- Fats/Grams: 134
- Carbs/Cal: 100
- Carbs/Grams: 25
- Proteins/Cal: 147
- Proteins/Grams: 37
Maybe have a look at Berg's vid on intense interval training, using a step, or elevated platform, in which you jump up and down, intensively and then take a break, to recover....It will add muscle density and it's good for bone density, also....
- Low: sugar, carbs and starch
- High: saturated fat
- Moderate: protein/dairy
This needs to be balanced. I read somewhere that we shouldn’t eat more than 50 grams of carbs a day. The amount of protein and dairy differs from website to website.
I will focus on more fats. Olive oil and coconut oil, got that. I don’t use real butter, but I will get it. Oh and French cheese, but not on 🥖
When you start eating butter, which should be the grass-fed type, which you should check on the label, you might find yourself trying a bit, hesitatingly and not going further, but you do need a good dollop....I scoop out a good amount, each meal and eat directly...on a spoon...You could add it to coffee, also...Same with coconut oil....A good dollop....on a spoon....😋
Same with salt, we have been programed to limit it, thinking it causes HBP, but it does not, if balanced with potassium....2:1 ratio, more potassium, less salt...K+:Na- But the salt can easily total a teaspoon a day....Depends on the season and how much exercise being conducted...In winter I use a flat spoon, in summer I heap it a bit...
Don't use table salt, but do use pink Himalayan sea salt....or a quality sea salt, of your choice....I like the Himalayas, because of it's associations with the Wesak festival, of the Ascended Masters..😇
I cook in olive oil, as I said earlier, but it must be a good single-source brand, from a country where they value quality...Such as family run businesses, in Italy...You should go for 100% Italian, extra virgin olive oil.
If you check a brand, noting that most are fake olive oil, it should have a grassy taste, with a bit of a kick, like pepper, at the back of the throat...and on the tongue....The majority of olive oils are fake compilations, made from multiple countries....The brand I use currently, which is the real deal, is Filippo Berio...100% Italian...It's fab...😋 I use it for frying bacon and eggs, etc, but I also have a couple of spoons, a day, and add to salads....
