Interesting November was the month I started to reduce my carb intake to as low as possible. It was 2021 and I am still alive with 50 lbs less weight and no diabetes after almost 26 years. People including my doctor think don’t believe me. Except my wife who was the reason I did all of these thing for her. I have my CGM data and my labs to support what I did worked.

[@hortensemason4073]

Great interview! Yes, I will go watch Dr. Tro's bio and pictures after finishing watching this excellent video. Having a professional and personal blind spot is an excellent way of summing up the medical nutritional problems today.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

I love that Dr Westman is so supportive of other low carb doctors. He could easily be territorial because he has been doing this for a long time, but he knows that to get people in America healthy you need a rapid expansion of medical practitioners that embrace low carb. Love that Dr Tro is making sure that his findings are being published in the scientific literature, so that critics have a harder time to dismiss low carb as simply anecdotal

Love this interview. I've always been active and healthy, but started gaining weight once I hit my my mid 50s. I low calorie dieted a few times and lost weight, but it didn't last. Turned 67 this year in February, weighed 240 lbs and decided to go keto the following month. The results staggered me. Lost 15 lb in the first 6 weeks which I found out later was mostly water. As I continued to lose weight, my mental clarity improved and instead of reluctantly running to stay fit, I began to enjoy it so much that I would laugh to myself while running, because it was so easy! All my aches and pains which I put down to age have vanished and I feel as fit as I was when I was in my 20s. I'm down to 163 lb (I'm 6ft 1inch) and my only issue now is to not lose anymore weight. What a nice problem to have LOL! Been on a 16:8 IF since the start and will probably scrap that to maintain my current weight. LOVE KETO!

“Be the doctor I wish I had.” Absolutely love Dr. Tro.

[@GigiWright]

My doctor is very bad for my health went over my labs she just doesn't understand how the human body functions and refuses to interact as an adult just poop poos my questions and comments. I spent several hours on my lab comparison pre and post low carb diet/eating. Regardless of her close minded g-dlike attitude I am the champion of my health.

[@traccie101]

What an amazing service Dr Tro provides! Please put a bug in his ear to reach out to Trucking companies. There is a serious need to get us drivers healthy. So many pass away in their trucks from heart attacks and strokes. I am carnivore because I don't want to be a statistic. Thank you to you both for taking time to share this valuable information.

Lot of people don't understand the difference between natural fats and factory created fats(oils). While natural fats are recognized and utilized by the body, manufactured fats are not recognized and stressful to the body. Ask for butter at a diner, they'll bring margarine. Whatever happened to oleo, the latest designer oil?

[@stuartbrock7586]

I don't remember the day I quit smoking or the day I started eating low carb. It's just the way it is now. So many of the things I used to eat are truely not tasty any more. I picked up a pastry this weekend and took a bite and went dry and dense with no flavour except sweetness. Yup, that is what I remember, they are always stale. I threw it away.

Having taught in a wide variety of schools, I have found that instead of making sugar the enemy, emphasize that protein and healthy fats (like whole milk and cheese) are brain food. Then you don't have to even talk about fruits and veg. Just keep reminding kinds that brain food is so important, you want to fill your stomach with brain food and healthy fats, leave the buns, crust, etc on the plate...fill your tummy with brain food and leave the rest. Have them start by seperating the brain food out from the rest and eat and drink that first, then see if they really want anything else or if it would be better to leave the things that slow their body down? Also, can kids get double the burger, double the hot dog so they can get more brain food? What parent in their right mind is going to complain against "brain food?" Make protein and healthy fats a forgone conclusion as the start of the meal and kids will want to get up and play before they get to the carbs unless they are addicted, then you might need an exchange 2 buns turned in = and extra meat patty...that meat patty is worth 2 buns, even a 5 year old can see the meat patty is worth more! An orange = 2 cheese sticks?...easier to peel and eat! Then there is the overweight kids get to go to the nurse at recess and get a piece of jerky and 2 half & half tiny cups...so special things instead of deprivation...when they don't need it anymore, they will chose play over food.

Dr. Tro and Dr. Westman are rockstars. Do yourself a favor and follow their advice.

[@pdxoregon1]

Glad Dr Tro mentioned food addiction. My experience is that the addiction is usually sugars and carbs.

[@iss8504]

I know Dr.Mark Cucuzzella. He is a fabulous doctor and a selfless person. Dr.Tro did himself a favor by reaching out to him and learning from the best.

[@lifebythecafterstrokeCHRISTINE]

That’s such a good idea!!! Write a book for parents, how low carb helps children with ailments, or to prevent ailments

[@ivydickson7596]

I didn't read anything. I just started keto and couldn't believe the results. No hungar after 4 days. I was hooked.

[@colleenhaithcock216]

The military industrial complex that served world war to Vietnam, etc. also turned into the agricultural industrial complex pumping out food, which might have calories, but no health. In war shelf stable food that could be transported was very important. Today we understand some of us what nutrition should and can be. I also think that the pharmaceutical companies mimic the scale of the military industrial complex, and or not just working to heal, but to keep themselves in business

[@rickwardrop1877]

Thanks for introducing me to Dr. Tro!

[@lisavls]

I liked Tro's point about all the LDL studies being done on the SAD. We don't have data on LDL and the low carb (non-diabetic) diet. That's very interesting.

[@Sarah-with-an-H]

Love the work you do Dr Westman

[@sheilacollins9384]

This is an excellent presentation. We need to address the systemic support side of this. I'm working on my personal trainer certification and am following up with health coaching. I work at the local YMCA. We NEED this medical expertise and support!
