Beyond Keto: The Simplicity of Satiety and Smarter Eating | Andreas Eenfeldt, MD

What if the secret to sustainable weight maintenance isn't counting calories or following strict diets, but understanding which foods naturally make you feel full? In this episode of The Ty Beal Show, Dr. Andreas Eenfeldt, founder and CEO of Diet Doctor, shares his evolution from keto advocate to pioneer of "satiety per calorie" - a revolutionary approach to eating that works regardless of whether you're low-carb, plant-based, or somewhere in between. Dr. Eenfeldt, who built the world's largest keto and low-carb website, reveals why he's moved beyond strict dietary rules to focus on foods that naturally control hunger. Drawing from hundreds of thousands of eating logs and rigorous scientific research, he explains how protein, energy density, fiber, and food processing combine to determine how much we eat. What you'll learn: The benefits and risks of ketogenic and low-carb diets Why some people get dangerously high cholesterol on keto (and what to do about it) How ultra-processed foods are engineered to make us overeat The four key factors that determine how full food makes you feel Why you can succeed with either low-carb high-fat OR high-carb low-fat diets How to navigate social eating while maintaining healthy habits The science behind Andreas's new Hava app and its AI-powered approach to eating Dr. Eenfeldt also shares his personal dietary evolution - how after 20 years of strict low-carb eating, he now enjoys greater flexibility while achieving better results. Whether you're keto-curious, struggling with food cravings, or simply want a more sustainable approach to healthy eating, this episode offers practical, science-based strategies that work in the real world.
