Butter and salt are better for you than the popcorn
Found I prefer Avocado oil and salt on air popped corn.
🍿i only use coconut oil to pop popcorn and no butter or salt
Just plain 🍿
Popcorn kernels are naturally non-GMO and have not been genetically engineered.
Hybrid popcorn is selectively bred but not genetically modified.
Non-GMO or organic labels provide assurance for both kernels and added ingredients.
Conventional popcorn may still involve pesticide use, so organic options are recommended for those concerned about chemicals.
In summary, you can enjoy popcorn knowing that the kernels themselves are one of the few maize varieties that remain GMO-free, while paying attention to labels if you want to avoid any GMO-derived additives. No butter or salt.
As long as you're not gorging yourself on the stuff every day, I don't see the problem with making it however you like actually. It's good and healthy, and we're talking more or less fat, and more or less salt. If you're not fretting over how you make oats with some combination of butter or peanut butter, and salt, then I can't see fretting over the popcorn. Alright but I will say I've only recently heard about the ill-health issues with the microwave packages. Like everyone I've had some of those but not many, not like a real habit. I actually had popcorn entirely out of my head for perhaps 15 or more years until only recently, but I remembered I liked it before so I'm now having some every day. What I wind up doing is treating it more like bags of chips as a side for lunches, and not so much something to eat along watching a movie. So that means I don't eat tons of it in a day. I have gotten an air popper recently and it's a good way to go about it, but for myself, I am going to go back to the old-fashioned stovetop/oil in pan with lid prep some of the time just for a change of pace with the flavor and texture of it.
Oh yeah, and I don't give a hoot about low-carb or Keto, and I do not think it's a wise way to eat either. I see Keto as a fad. I also don't see Keto a conducive to proper exercise.
I sometimes eat popcorn. Pop them in coconut oil and then mineral salt.
Very informative, Thank You Dr. Gillaspy.
I use no salt butter and olive oil on my popcorn then sprinkle it with a no salt seasoning.
I use Tony's salt free seasoning.
I am addicted to it.
buy Orville Reddenbacher's popcorn … the label says 3 table spoons = 130 calories and THAT amount is a FULL BIG BOWL of delicious popcorn! i eat TWO bowls with BUTTER every day! … my blood pressure: 111/ 60 … resting heart rate: 59 … I'm 73 years old … last blood tests a few weeks ago show me way UNDER any risk for diabetes … other tests were "clear" too! and in one year i've gone from 216 pounds to 172 pounds on the OMAD diet WITH popcorn!
My bag of popcorn caught fire in the microwave 😅
Once a week ok or every 2 weeks ok depending if there is even a show worth watching
It’s better than chips
There's nothing wrong with kernel popcorn you make in the pan. Stop focusing on healthy food and tell the truth about SEED OILS WHICH IS WHAT IS MAKING EVERYONE SICK AND FAT.
I ate popcorn on the carnivore diet after 2 months of being carnivore and I had the worst bloating and gas for days.
Eat it
Organic, non-gmo, air-popped popcorn sprayed with olive oil, garlic powder and sea salt is my favorite. Olive oil, salt and nutritional yeast is pretty good, also.
Mt favorite popcorn is the one you get at the movies, with extra butter. 😋
One cup no way, I will eat a bowl of popcorn
I eat popcorn everyday
Pop it . Eat it . 🍿.
Who cares?
I thought butter was good for keto I guess I was wrong maybe I'm thinking of ghee, yeah ghee is good with popcorn
Peter Piper picked a pack of pickled peppers. That's all I heard her say 😂
It really depends on what you're spraying on the butter. I use a little bit of butter spray on it and a little bit of salt. There's something wrong with that and it still keeps it pretty low carb
I make popcorn in stainless steel pan with a mix of butter and tallo.
They are good carbs and not sugars
I buy kernels and cook them in olive oil until it pops yum
You forgot to mention that its full of soluble fiber
I pop using coconut oil and add Baja sea salt with grass fed butter. The key is to pop only about an eighth of a cup of kernels and share with your spouse or friend. You can add fresh garlic or turmeric powder for nutritional flavor.
Here is a great example of why I follow Atkins, NOT keto (when you compare the % breakdown of fats/proteins/carbs between the two).
THANKS FOR THE GREAT INFORMATION❤❤❤❤
I'd prefer not to find snacks that work in my diet, but rather to fight the urge to snack altogether. I had gotten into the habit of grabbing something each time I wondered into the kitchen, even though I knew that I wasn't really hungry. So, my Rule 1 is "Stay out of the kitchen." Reminds me of a joke I heard in which the first rule of avoiding shark attacks is never "Stay out of the water." I really do enjoy your videos. They're never preachy and seem sound and rational.
I pop the kernels in a brown paper bag in the microwave. Works good.
Eat popcorn people, stop listening to these morons
Use a nonstick pot, heat it on medium-low for about 2 mim, by the third minute the fist kernel willpop… once the first 1 pop, about 3O secs later the rest will pop. No need for oil or anything.
I pop it plain, no butter, no sugar or salt. It’s still good.
I was still getting fatt on keto, but when I switch to low carb foods like popcorn, Strawberries, and celery I'm finally losing weight.
Air or glass microwave popcorn popper without any topping .It’s the only thing that I can eat to keep me away from chips crackers and other snacks with lots of salt and sugar .
Great for weight loss
1 cup of popcorn! Just kill me. Lol.
Pop it in coconut oil.
Is the olive oil pump that you demonstrated the same as the spray olive oil that I can buy at my local market or is the one at the local market not pure?
Plain popcorn – the best , no need for any oil, salt, sugar, anything. WFPBSOS here.
She is so polite and gentle with her words! Is this a result of a low-carb diet I wonder?
