Pillars of long-term health with Dr. Ted Naiman - Diet Doctor Podcast

All Diet Doctor podcasts: www.dietdoctor.com/podcast
Protein is not the enemy. In fact, Dr. Naiman says it's hard to imagine anyone eating too much protein.
What about longevity, mTOR, and gluconeogenesis? Dr. Naiman says there is no evidence to suggest that these are concerns on a well formulated low-carb, high-protein diet. In fact, it's quite the opposite - he believes we need to worry about the risks of too little protein in our diets.
In addition, I think you'll enjoy hearing about Dr. Naiman's passion for efficient exercise. Although we may not all end up with his impressive physique after just 15 minutes of exercise, he shares his approach to helping his patients adopt a short, healthy life-long exercise routine.
Dr. Naiman's experience may not match the classic LCHF approach, but he sees success with his patients and wants to share that message.

Dr. Scher is a great interviewer.

[@TheRealRealOK]

Ricky B He really is.

[@beatahst1740]

I agree, he is excellent!

[@andrepohlann]

I had exactly the same thought. :-)

[@smk9320]

I was just here to type that in. He really is!

[@susanabedwell]

Absolutely agree. Excellent.

[@robinbeers6689]

From someone who was on the strict keto 4:1 protocol for epilepsy for years and who has now switched to carnivore, I think Dr. Ted is onto something here. Being fat adapted is important but chasing higher numbers on the ketone meter is not. Keto improved my seizure disorder significantly but, on carnivore, my disorder is completely gone. That's an N=1 study but it is the only one that matters to me.

[@neatoketo6238]

Completely gone! Awesome! I've been keto 4.5 years but moving toward carnivore now.

[@locoemutwo4872]

Amazing... Great info!

[@beaubolinger1521]

Excellent--Keep up the Great Diet and BE WELL

[@juliametcalf2660]

have been carnivore for almost a 1 1/2 years ....the benefits keep coming ....really an improvement ....

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

Hey, it's amazing to hear that you've "cured" your epilepsy. I'm epileptic too... Over 35 years - I'm 41 now. I'm on the carnivore diet, it will be seven months in a few days, and my seizures have stopped too! How amazing it that! I wish I knew about carnivore years ago, but give thanks, I know about it now 😊 Bless up Robin 😊

[@ready2roo24]

I have asked for a couple of years, "hey, why can't I do a low fat version of keto?" since I am not losing weight eating all this butter, cream and oil. The answer always is "it's not keto unless you eat 70% fat." The reason I am given for not losing is that I don't fast enough. It's never due to eating too much fat. Finally I get some clarity from Dr Naiman.

[@randomanda]

Yeah, the idea that to lose weight the fat in your diet should be the fat in your body is really not brought up enough!

[@missygee6155]

It's not eating the fat that causes weight loss on keto, it's the absence of carbs. We shouldn't be concerned with adding extra fat, just not afraid of fat in meat, eggs, etc and fat for cooking or flavor (butter on vegetables) but we don't need to add extra butter to a fatty steak or snack on fat bombs. 😜 😉

[@kathynewkirk683]

I was keto for 4 years, I just kept track of my carbs, not the fats or protein and did well. Now I’m more low carb and higher protein. 30/30/40 using healthy fats and liking it. My sister does lazy keto and looks so gaunt....

[@naimab6714]

Ted is too smartly simple no big fat no supplements, no guilt with his patients about low or high fat if it works , no guilt with his daughter about sugar let people experience and learn, bravo

[@johnutube5651]

Ted is honest, genuine and straight to the point

[@CharlieShaughnessy]

Stopped eating a LCHF diet and have eaten a LCHP or HPK High Protein Keto diet now for two years and I'm leaner and feel better than ever. I even cycle carbs and low fat days once or twice per week. Really great stuff from Ted.

[@Trthsker24]

So what was the impetus for you switching, what drove you to switch? Just curious. Thx 🙂

[@Beefcake1982]

Me too!

[@Roselynne1016]

I'm working on this as well. I lost a lot of muscle from fasting (many years of fasting). In my case I'm under constant stress from my job so thus affecting my cortisol. I feel better eating in the morning and eating more protein.

[@dana102083]

I know personally when i lose weight my fats are 1:1 to1.5 to 1 of protein. At maintenance its 1.5 to 2:1 fat to protein. Less exogenous fats, we burn more endogenously. I think women need a bit more fat for their menstrual cycle. Without increasing fat, I fell into a lean range where I looked sick.. And I have a chronic illness that leaves me bed ridden and fasting so want a bit of buffer. 2:1 fat to protein is 3/4 of my plate or more as fatty meats and a small amount of veggies if I feel like them. Definitely have less appetite in the summer, have played around with 2mad all protein but i gained..carbs stay 15net or lower and do mostly omad for over 2 yrs. If i eat too high carbs or protein i get hungry in the morning and not for me. I value protein and try to get to 1.2g/kg.

[@sarah29880]

@@dana102083 same here, I have a chronic illness and need more fat and protein, almost 50:50 and then small amount of bed carbs probably more like 30 net per day.

[@pamelap.123]

I've been following keto for a couple of years (80+ lbs. lost) until I hit a long stall. I bought, read, and started following the P:E diet several weeks ago. My stall has ended, I've lost 3 pounds this month so far. Thank you Dr. Naiman!

[@Beefcake1982]

Ted Naiman is the man! I have been following his advice for about 2 years and I feel and look better now at 38 than I did in my mid to late 20s.

[@Beefcake1982]

DonaArtist I think you could eat more. I’m 168 eating 2500 to 3000 calories per day. Like 50 carb 150 fat 200+ protein

[@Beefcake1982]

DonaArtist Actually I’m sorry I forget sometimes that I’m eating a maintenance diet right now. There isn’t anything wrong with the level of fat you’re eating if you’re trying to lose weight. Experiment with the ratio until you feel good and are where you want to be. I would keep my macros the same for at least a week at a time to see how it works and how I feel and then adjust. I ended up liking more fat less carbs. Just feels better. Sometimes I start to feel too skinny and then I’ll eat some carbs put some weight back on.

[@jasonrios3120]

DonaArtist I think 170g protein, 70g carb 70g fat would be good for u

[@shackinternational]

You shouldn’t count calories

[@MrFuchew]

@@Beefcake1982 dr ted says 1 gram per pound body weight for your ideal weight and less that that combined carbs and fat. example me 5'10" ideal weight 160lbs eat 160 grams protein or more a day eat 160 grams of cabs & fat combined or less a day He doesn't care about the ratio of carbs to fat

[@theroadtoamillion]

This is a great interview. I really appreciate it when the interviewer asks questions that will help the audience and not for a narrative.

[@tonyokrongly3235]

I love doctors talk to doctors who are well informed on this stuff and I'm a big fan of Dr. Naiman

[@daviddikeman7423]

Ted is fixing the rampant myths in the LC community. Much needed.

[@dealwolfstriked272]

I tried for years and years.I found this video and it opened my eyes to the fact that Atkins started off as a low calorie diet and morphed into a fat bomb fiasco. www.dailymotion.com/video/x2266ps

[@Sophal27]

I think when you start a low carb/keto diet coming from a high carb diet, you should go high fat during the first 3-4 weeks to change your metabolism toward fat adaptation. Once you are fat adapted, you should lower fat and increase protein. I think that is one of the reason many people hit a weght loss plateau after a few weeks of strict keto : too much fat not enough protein.

[@aprilek6003]

I just love Ted. I am lean and have increased my protein and reduced my fat intake. I love this eating this way more than traditional keto. I started off with being able to 10 push-ups and can now do 25. Ted is right just start where you are and go to failure. I'm looking forward to getting a pull up bar. Great podcast as usual Dr. Bret - Thanks Diet Doctor for all you are doing!!!!

[@WaqarDepp]

@DonaArtist I wouldn't go lower than 75 grams. Well, that's according to Dr. Berg.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

The extra fat on carnivore stops me from having seizures. I think you just have to do what works for you.

[@mellymel8157]

@DonaArtist he has the exact ratio on his website. It's simple math.

[@juderoeder7107]

Ted Naiman is one of my all time favorites. Thank you so much for this interview. He is the perfect spokesman for a healthy lifestyle.

[@Trthsker24]

Sorry to disagree but he seemed extremely wishy-washy. He recommends nose to tail, yet won't touch organ meat? He appears a tad shifty or rather hypocritical.

[@zerocarbdoc]

Good for Ted to open up so fast and consider low carb while in school. It is hard in the Adventist system especially Loma Linda to be open to anything out of the norm.

[@kennettle]

you fellows restore my faith in the medical profession. good job.

[@tandembike2253]

You ask all the right questions and simplify in summary! Great podcast.

[@gayainsworth3438]

Dr. Brett does amazing interviews. He is awesome at his job! Thanks for all you and the Diet Doctor team do!!

Excellent interview. I really really appreciated his NON-dogmatic style. Simple, clear, science backed. Love it!

[@cujo53844]

This is an amazing interview. Dr Naimans perspective makes so much sense to me

[@ms6td]

We love Ted!

[@wingandhog]

Can’t tell you how much I appreciate these two well balanced doctors. Fabulous interview!

[@OKketOH]

We (Husband, Daughter and I) have started following the P.E. Ratio and we love the P.E. Diet book, it has really kicked our journey up a notch.

[@mellymel8157]

@DonaArtist his website has a ton of info and it's all free. You can figure out enough of the plan to really get started without the book. I just stumbled upon him yesterday and he answers a lot of questions, so I'm shifting this week. Wish someone had helped you earlier when you first asked.

[@robertanddonnagordon]

Great interview. Fat adaption is key. Low carb for me has reversed diabetes and I am off insulin meds just 14 days out of the hospital on Sept 26, 2021 for a cardiac catheterization due to lack of oxygen to heart from lungs damaged by COVID in Sept 2020. NO VACCINE for COVID and I would never take the jab. I praise God for keeping me alive that I may share my story for His glory.

[@Shawn-hs8qk]

Great job Ted. As far as exercise, Intensity is good. High frequency is good-protein synthesis only lasts 48 at best. But volume is the biggest driver for hypertrophy.

[@monkeyseemonkeydo2597]

Great interview! 🙏🏻

[@philpecoraro5458]

Excellent interview, Dr Scher asked some great questions. I have done LCHF and keto for around 5 years, and I am slimmer and healthier for it. I notice that I never gain weight, my pants fit me the same, and my bloodwork is where I like it. I have had a problem with the last 5-7 pounds of weight however, mostly around my stomach. After watching videos from Dr Ted and Maria Emmerich, I have begun to cut back on fat and add extra protein, which goes against the keto idea of 70 plus % macros from fat. For the first time in awhile I have finally began losing inches and pounds from my waistline. I basically switched to leaner meats, really cutting back on cheese, olives, dark chocolate, avocados, and pork rinds- fats. I eat twice daily- some combination of leaner steak, hamburger, eggs, seafood, and pork

[@annmartin2448]

Excellent podcast, thank you

[@billytheweasel]

Dr Naiman was an engineer which makes him a connoisseur of fine studies. EDIT TO ADD: plus... Ted's a decent guy, just sayin'

Thanks a bunch ... that was a great discussion ... love that workout theory ... can't beat intensity for creating physical changes, but I always do too much per workout and it becomes a deterrent - string together workouts consistently w brief , short duration high intensity and boom - lookout now!

BEST PODCAST EVER! 💯👍

[@cearilindubhlaoi9507]

So interesting..its something I'm going to try to up my protein thank you for this interview it was excellent much appreciated...😊😊

[@cindyward5133]

I agree with the protein being more satisfying. The first time I tried keto and added fat to everything and counted my macros, but couldn't ever hit the lower protein without feeling like I was hungry all the time. Someone suggested raising my protein and it worked. I lost 25 pounds and kept it off.

[@ant7936]

Good discussion. Thanks.

[@CAM-fq8lv]

Very informative. Would listen to this guy anytime.

[@tsavage4185]

Very good interview Bret, Ted's perspective is very interesting on both the workout and diet front. He seems to have, diet and exercise really dialed in without being a zealot devoted to a single cause or course of action. Cheers

[@titok49]

great interviewer!!!!!

[@TheRealRealOK]

Excellent discussion.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

Tell me please. I'm reading a book - eat fat get thin by Mark Hyman. Somewhere in the book he says when you eat fat, it keeps your insulin low, shutting off fat storage, and raises your metabolism so you burn bodyfat all day and night. So you can eat fat and burn bodyfat. Eating fat doesn't make you fat. Too much protein raises insulin - which is what I'm trying to avoid, and in raising insulin, you turn fat storage on - which is what we don't want. How is eating more protein and lowering fat going to help keep insulin levels down? Btw, I'm carnivore 7 months now, high fat, 24hr IF, and down over 50lb. 20lb left to go 😃

[@scotchfillet]

Test and log your own blood glucose levels and you will find out what works for you as an individual. I've found meals of high fat proteins and vegetables barely raise my glucose levels. They stay at around 4.8 mmol 1 hour postprandial and do not kick me out of ketosis. A few nuts and 50gm of berries I see around 5.2 mmol and ketones under .5 mmol.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

@@scotchfillet for the past three days now - i know.. 6 months later lol, I’ve been doing my regular carnivore but this time, with no extra added fat, and obvs, if. I always added a slab of butter to my meat and scrambled my eggs in butter, so now I’ve stopped that, i feel i get quite weak/tired towards the evening.. that never happened before. I’m wondering if I’m going through another transitional phase - instead of using dietary fat for energy to using more body fat for energy..? If i look at it simply, it makes sense, but I don’t know.. i will get a blood glucose monitor though. This would be helpful. Thanks for responding xxx

[@laurawhy8813]

Just Debbie... keep with what is working. If you hit a stall and real stall then i would decrease fat and increase protein. I think that even a higher protein diet which might increase insulin is 5000 times better than what most people are eating and probably a great improvement over what you used to eat so I wouldn't worry about that. Do what works for getting you healthier and that might be different from what works for me. Also if you'd like to see where you are at with insulin get a fssting insulin test done. If your doctor won't order it there are companies online who will. Keep up the good work!!

[@helenmary9416]

Thank you both, will be listening to this interview again.👏🏻 I started Keto for seizures, (first vaccination febrile convulsions,1957), and so many auto immune issues. I’m also Celiac & IR (put on a tonne of weight through GF foods). I finished Keto after 16 months. I lost weight, depression gone, clarity of mind fantastic, but have since been Carnivore for 4 months and now feel awesome. The increased fat was OK in the beginning on Keto but became too much and made me sick after a while soI but it back. There’s so many Low Carb/Carnivore people online now, that I find the information is becoming confused, as am I. Some say increase fat 70-80%, lower protein, and yet others say lower fat and increase protein, as clear as mud!!! 🤯 I sincerely thank you both for clearing up this issue for me and I now know I can cut back the fat and increase the protein (within reason/till satiated) without any problems 😉 by the way, I’m 63 and want to be healthy for the first time in my life!!! 😘

30% protein sounds good to me and I can still be in ketosis, thanks for confirming what my body was telling me. I will still eat loads of fresh veggies though. I will cut back on fat until I lose a bit more weight. It doesn't make sense to load up on fat if you are trying to use what your body stored.

[@No_Frills_Carnivore]

Fat doesn't make you fat though? Fat keeps your insulin low, shutting off fat storage and it also speeds up your metabolism, meaning, you burn more fat.

[@jimbeaver27]

do you want to burn the fat you eat, or the fat on your gut?

[@lf7065]

@@No_Frills_Carnivore That's not my experience. I gained almost 20 lbs eating a high fat Keto diet. I needed to gain weight back after cancer surgery, and this was a great way to accomplish it. But, I have never lost weight with Keto. I have, however, lost weight rapidly with high whole foods carb, low fat. Of course, the calories were much lower that way. Calories very much count, and fats a high in it! It's a balance sheet, pure and simple.

I recently did 6 sets of 32 jump squats (about 1 minute per set) and my legs were shattered for a week. Two weeks after that session I did 4 sets of 50 jump squats with no muscle pain subsequently. Give the body a big shock and it will adapt remarkably well.
