Dr Ben Bikman: The SURPRISING Scientific Way To Burn Belly Fat FAST

One of this guys videos saved my life. I had runaway blood pressure problems that is inherent in my family. Both my father and sister had aneurysms due to radically high blood pressure in their mid forties. Only a few weeks in from following a low carb diet my readings dropped from 180 over 120 to roughly 120 over 80. The many other health benefits were a bonus too. I'm forever grateful for the insight of this man.

[@Sarahizahhsum]

Very happy for you and proud of you for your hard work. I personally had low BP and mine is going up finally. I feel so much better now. I was dizzy, couldn't stand up after sitting very well without having the blood pool in my legs. I was brain fogged and unfocused. Its getting way better now.

[@RibeyeRules]

mine was 194 over 114 - now 121 over 77 and down 68 lbs ! Carnivore for life

[@grantfrith9589]

@@RibeyeRules Your mention of "carnivore" does not go without appreciation. I have experimented with that too and found further benifit with gut health along with maintaining all the keto benifits. All the anecdotal evidence regarding carnivore I've seen points to it being an extremely easy way to eat healthy. That said, I do wonder that we may have lost nuance with regards to the possibility of plant based medicinal benifits. "More" with plant based diets looks to be detrimental to vitality, particularly over long periods of time but subtle understanding of our individual state of health from intuition we've long forgotten might motivate us to exploit the micro nutrients plants can offer when the need arises. The type of thinking that bought about veganism is not so different than what is manifest in a commitment to carnivore. Our ability to use intuition to navigate a more complex environment seems to have been replaced with dogmatic "left hemisphere" thinking reminiscent of what the Psychiatrist Iain McGillchrist wrote about in his book. "The Master and his Emissary" Make of that as you will. My experience with carnivore has been nothing but stellar but I'm trying to keep open to the possibility of healing cartilage teeth and bones and it may be that some plants might be vital to unlocking those benifits for me.

[@sunshinekis8583]

​@@grantfrith9589absolutely agree with you. Extremes can be disastrous in long run

[@Eclectic_RN]

And I lost 54 pounds, became very insulin sensitive (3/100 on a Cardio IQ insulin sensitive score). Did strict keto for one year and... my BP never dropped. Interestingly, my A1C did not drop either. I suspect that if you're under 50, yes, this will drop your BP, but as you get older and older, not so fast. Get a grip on weight, health and BP when you're young, don't wait till you are older.

Love that you had the opportunity to speak with Dr. Bikman. One of the qualities I like about Dr. Bikman is his passion for educating the public.

In the case of high blood sugar it's because cells are replete and block intake hence increased blood glucose. It's not an insulin signaling problem

Did I miss something? Where did he talk about meat not being enough? That was a good interview, but I’m confused by the title.

[@yvettemillan6568]

Add allullose to your diet. It might help with belly fat

[@jimmyhvy2277]

Yvette : Organs .

[@farahnaz8885]

Yes me too very confused… he didn’t even say a word that meat 🥩 is not enough..

[@hilke3071]

I think it's because of what he says: it's not about glucose but it's about insulin resistance; meat doesn't raise blood sugar directly but it does raise insulin. So if you are insulin resistant you need to do more then just only eat meat to overcome the insulin resistance; like fasting.

[@SCW_Fitness]

@@hilke3071or focusing on fatty meat. Fat combined with protein (natures combination) reduces the amount of insulin secreted. Lean protein (chicken breast etc) causes a more significant spike in insulin because of the glycogenic amino acids and absence of fat.

[@sharfalor4244]

The ridiculous thing is, primary care GP's in the UK do not have access to any insulin tests. So you either work it out for yourself (like I did with GP's calling me ridiculous as my hba1c was 'ok'), or you wait until you get a referral to secondary care for more serious issues. Finally validated by the low carb GP at my surgery, after I had reduced my weight, lost the skin tags and killed the recurrent toe nail fungus .

To trim and firm the belly, place a kitchen chair or other knee-high, to lower thigh-high object, across the doorway to a room you enter and exit frequently. The act of fully stepping over the chair activating several muscle groups works wonders. This bit of information came to me first through experience, trying to keep kittens in my bedroom without locking in the mother too. I noticed a firming of both my belly and my buttocks, even my upper thighs. Then my mom and her mom (granny) informed me that they got the same result using the kitchen chair across the door to keep toddlers in the room they were working in, making them easier to keep an eye on. I was using a gate, because the kittens would just slip through the bars of a chair. --Evelyn Mitchell

Not just lifestyle, but also mental health, because I changed my life style a long time ago and I still have problems.
