Want to know if you should count calories or carbs to lose weight? Tune in to this video where I go into great detail on this topic. I share my story on how I lost 36 inches and 30lbs going keto (counting carbs) and how I could NOT lose weight in a caloric deficit alone for years- even though I was eating healthy and working out religiously.

00:00 Introduction
2:28 My diet history: I was following caloric deficit for years prior to going keto last year
05:07 What I will talk about in today's video
06:05 My goal is to help women 40+ who can't lose weight even though they are in a caloric deficit and working out -- just like I was. In my opinion, it's likely these women have hormonal imbalance, insulin issues like me and could benefit from keto/carb reduction
07:18 the books I'm reading on insulin resistance and keto (listed above with links)
07:54 why I now would recommend limiting carbs for sure to lose weight. Although for sure EVERYONE SHOULD START WITH CALORIC DEFICIT!! 
08:36 women 40+ should be getting bloodwork done and looking into bio identical hormones and looking into keto/carb reduction if they can't seem to lose weight
09:51 My fitness/working out history
12:05 even after going on bhrt I could not lose fat. I never stopped dieting. I was always in a deficit
15:11 how the science talks about how diets stop working after a period of time...and how women think our thyroid is to blame but it's really an insulin problem
16:04 when I went on the HCG diet and only lost 2lbs
18:02 when my functional medicine doctor told me to go keto 
19:17 how keto has been so easy and enjoyable
21:31 Gary Taubes The Case For Keto book
24:09 Jason Fung on thermodynamics
