Dr. Paul Mason - 'Low Carb from a Doctor's perspective'

Dr Paul Mason obtained his medical degree with honours from the University of Sydney, and also holds degrees in Physiotherapy and Occupational Health. He is a Specialist Sports Medicine and Exercise Physician.
Dr Mason developed an interest in low carbohydrate diets in 2011. Since then he has spent hundreds of hours reading and analysing the scientific literature.
For the last two years, Dr. Mason has been applying this knowledge in treating metabolic and arthritis patients who have achieved dramatic and sustained weight loss and reductions in joint pain.

The best ever presentation. I'm living proof. The most liberating realisation after overcoming obesity since I was 8 years, ruined my life, it wasn't my fault. I'm 58. At 56 I either had to find the truth myself or die. I had to throw away everything I was taught and seek the truth. Self educated myself. Key. Seeking truth and educating yourself. I went from 115kg to 62kg in 10 months. 18 months later I'm 65kg. Off all medication. Reversed diabete. Anaemia. I can't list all healed medical conditions. Lot of challenges society doesn't support this but don't let that be an issue. You have control. No one else. Bless you all. Xox .

So happy for you that you found the answers you needed, but what is so impressive is that your discipline and love for life gave you the motivation to correct your body chemstry through eating what your body needs for nourishment. Even at 58, you can still look forward to several decades of a healthier life, with more energy than most people.

Wish I found this years ago. I’m 55. Very carb sensitive and addicted to carbs. So many symptoms, I finally stopped eating all carbs and then started watching all these sugar, fats, vegetable oil lectures. My joint pain is improving, I’m no longer sleepy all day, I can go all day without a nap, I’m not starving constantly. I was too addicted. I’m only 4 weeks since no carbs, but this is pretty mind boggling. I ate no fat everything and worked out all my life. Felt terrible with chronic pain. All better now. Eating everything we were taught would make you fat. Just remember, cream and butter and bacon and eggs really can make you forget sugar and carbs. It’s true.

It’s now Christmas and I have lost 20lbs eating the things I enjoy and basically eating 2 meals a day while not feeling empty hungry. My hip arthritis is no longer painful after driving for an hour my knee joints are no longer painful and getting up and down on them is easier. I am more mentally alert and my mood is more relaxed. Waiting for my annual checkup at the doctors when I wish to remove medications I have been on for years. Stubbornness is what has stopped me in the past and eating conveniently.

She said that I choose fruit for dinner is because I don’t want to cook. I was confused, because I cook a conventional meal every day, I just prefer fruit. After this video I feel as though I am on the right track, and I did not follow her low-fat, high carb diet, because I have tried them before and I have lost wight, then put it back on again, thank you Dr Mason, I needed this tonight. So glad to have an Australian Doctor sounding so positive about this way of eating. Cheers and thanks. Mary

Weight issues and obesity is a hormone problem, not the result of a character flaw. Insulin may be the key hormone in weight issues, but not the only one. That dietitian is simply ignorant, though likely repeating what she was taught, Yet nearly all dieticians promote the very foods that trigger high levels of insulin: carbohydrates - which makes the body store fat, and block fat burning. In addition to sugar and starches (which are just sugar), lectins (found in many commonly eaten plants including beans and peas) can also trigger high insulin levels: Dr. Paul Mason 'How Lectins Impact Your Health...' kzbin.info/www/bejne/o5u0i3Z5nrtpn6M Gary Taubes says, 'The world is full of greyhounds who think that if they could get basset hounds to eat and run like they do, they basset hounds would become greyhounds.' He says that because they are lean, because they have never struggled with their weight, they think that if everyone ate and lived as they do, everyone would be lean like them - forgetting that not everyone is the same. Karma may catch up to them, as many people who are lean without effort in their 20s and 30s often find their weight creeping up by their 40s, 50s, and 60s. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZ6YdJevaZJ-qrc In addition to eating according to government guidelines - a high carbohydrate diet - many chemicals found in increasing levels in the environment, our food, and our bodies can also trigger obesity: articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2018/10/03/household-cleaners-may-trigger-childhood-obesity.aspx

@DCD As Dr. Jason Fung sais: If you want to lose weight, don't eat and your body will burn your fat. It's logic, right. Thing is with a low fat diet and restricting calories your are constantly starving. With a ketogenic diet combined with fasting your aren't. Both go hand in hand. Your insulin resistance can heal, as you are fasting 16, 18, 20 hours a day without having an overwhelming feel of hunger and when you eat you can eat as much as you want until your are not hungry any more. And you will feel saturated by eating fats and protein and it will last a long time. Also fat and protein won't skyrocket your insulin, which is even better to cure your insulin resistance.

Brilliant explanation of mainstream diet problems to the lay person. I have been researching low carb, keto etc for weeks and this is the most interesting, thought provoking video Iv'e seen. Bravo Dr Mason!

[@kmhtaylor]

I, literally, ten minutes prior to watching this video, had a phone meeting with our 'One and Only' diabetic doctor in our small city. I informed his associate that since I stopped Metformin, Basaglar and went on a very low carb/intermittent fasting (removing nearly 80-85% of carbs) regime, my eye sight has improved, my energy has started coming back, my body shape has changed drastically, my joints aren't nearly as 'achy', but my bloody glucose at fasting is still a little high, 14.9mol/L +/-. My glucose goes down to about 9mol/L later on in the day, but that's the only issue I'm having, oh and my weight hasn't change as greatly as I'd hoped. My Dr.'s associate said I need to exercise more (but did not ask me if I had a history of personal injury or health problems), said I should go back on insulin and need to increase my dose of Metformin (only restarting it yesterday because of kidney pains) from 500mg to 2000mg. Argh! Ever feel that you aren't being heard?

Try taking vanadium, chromium or bitter melon to reduce insulin resistance. It also reduces cravings too. And cinnamon can help too

Doctors have a protocol they follow. Addressing medical problems through food does not follow their protocol and you’ll get more and more pressure to follow their way.

Excellent summary of a very important process. The chemistry explanation was over the top. Thanks

Love your présentation Doctor! I am on a carnivore/ keto diet and feel as good at 58 as I felt in my early 20’s! Great energy and I only eat twice a day, not hungry for a third meal, I eat plenty of fatty fish and meat and good butter! No more IBS , bloating, and I have dropped 20 lbs so far in 3 and a half months! Went from 143 to 123 and still losing. Most physicians are against people doing low or no carbs diet and really against fat but they are killing us with the sugar in cereals, carbs etc… There is a real movement starting here in the USA, but Physicians will drop you as their patients if you eat carnivore or keto long term! Your cholesterol is higher they say and they do not even look at the triglycerides! You will have a heart event if you eat fat”the docs will tell you, but in reality what causes damage through our arteries is sugar!!!! Thank you for exposing the lies!

[@lorettadillon-ham1574]

Well done Dr Mason, great presentation.

[@dicres1516]

I’ve battled on SAD diet for 40 years! Keto has saved me. My story is the same as your patient along with being frowned on by people because I HAD to eat every few hours or I felt I’d faint. AND going out to dinner at night everyone would say just don’t eat that day..😳 I felt as though I would be hospitalised if i didn’t at least snack that day! Now I frequently am 16:8 and often OMAD with an occasional easy fast for 48hours 😂

[@laurafillebrown9776]

Great that you are having good results and doing some longer term fasting. If you watch KZbin videos from Dr Jason Wang and/or Dr Berg you willl learn that day two of fasting is the hardest, and if you've made it that far, do a few more days because they get much easier. From this you get more and greater benefits of autophagy (the body cleaning out of old mitochondria, toxins, cysts, etc.), making it easier for new healthy cells.. getting rid those that lead to disease, cancer, etc. If I'm telling you somethings you already know, not my intent. Best wishes for good health.

We have known this information for a long time. Sing it from the mountain. Doctors and nutritionalists need to educate the general population. Fantastic video. It needs to be shown in school to the children. Nutritionist so important in education.

I disagree, Dr.'s and health professionals are still in the dark about healthy nutrition or they wouldn't be reccomending the SAD (Standard American/Austrailian Diet) today!

A few years ago I would have chalked you up a shill. Now that I've gone LCHF, I know that you are telling the truth. The effect is truly amazing, life changing in fact.

[@louisa4295]

I've been very interested in low-carb diets over the last 9 months. I've watched many excellent, excellent videos and read a few books. This is the best 30-minute presentation on the case for a low-carb diet I've had the pleasure of watching (no exaggeration). Well done, Dr. Mason!

[@Kyarrix]

Look up Dr Jason Fung. He has done a lot of work in this area and like Dr Mason is also a great speaker. Dr Fung's first book is the Obesity Code. He has a series of videos based on that book, you can find the first one by entering "Dr Jason Fung, The Obesity Code, Why we gain weight, part 1" there are six videos in the series and each will take you to the next. It is surprising how compelling they are. He has another video that is about 45 minutes long and like this one it is a summary of a lot of information. I might start with this video first because it is a summary, it depends whether you want an overview first or if you like to go straight into it. Here's a link to it:. kzbin.info/www/bejne/bZ-tmHt4l6qaqac If you're not comfortable clicking on a link, the keywords to find the video are "Dr Jason Fung, fasting as a therapeutic option for weight loss" I have one more that I'll share, in this one he goes into depth about the conflicts of interest between pharmaceutical companies and nutrition information and how that affects the information we're given, how what we think we know is often not correct and the reasons why. kzbin.info/www/bejne/sGesgGV6j8-Cobs Again, if you're uncomfortable clicking on a link the keywords for this one are "Dr Jason Fung, CrossFit pharmaceutical conflict of interest" I hope this is useful, Dr Paul Mason, Dr Jason Fung and Dr Robert Lustig are all excellent speakers and they've all sacrificed in their careers in the name of science and getting information out to the public.

[@louisa4295]

@@Kyarrix Agreed.. I have watched many of them... Dr Lustig several times previously, and Dr Jason Fung more recently. I started with Gary Taubes a few years ago (Good Calorie, Bad Calorie) & just finished his most recent book, A Case For Keto. Thanks for the tips nonetheless.. Stay well. . 👍

[@firepower7654]

The all cause mortality is the bottom line and is really an important part of this whole presentation.. So it was great to see he went into that. A meth diet will make you lose weight too, but is it really healthy?

[@wormwoodbush3537]

That first patient sounds just like me, I said ask those same things before I discovered LCHF! That lecture was OUTSTANDING! thank you. It's wonderful to see some scientifically backed studies on this subject, rather than lots of KZbin "facts", which are for the most part correct, but not something you can get naysayers to listen to! Now I've got something to show my GP if he argues with me over my choice of strategies to manage my T2 diabetes. This needs to be more widely taught to doctors and nurses, they certainly didn't teach this when I was at uni (nursing).

when i was 18..training for bodybuilding comps..idecided to compete in the under 21s division of Mr Australia..except i had a 36" waist..no definition whatsoever..looked flabby..due to drinking 4 or more lt of milk a day..and lots of other carbs..rice .pasta..potatoes etc..i knew i needed to undergo a total transformation in order to look to be a viable contender..so i went keto for 2 months..lost 6" off my waist and tightened and cut up..and won 1st place..at age 57..after 30 years of alcohol abuse..and ingesting lots and lots of other carbs..even tho i was training 4 or 5 days a week.. i decided to do something about my 48" waist..on top of a 46" chest..and a God awful "physique" repleat with manboobs...i severely cut back on alcohol..was averaging 20 bottles of wine a week..i went keto again..except i ate plenty of green vegies..eggs.. meat..did aerobics..got fit and did interval sprints..much more that i did steady state..took up boxing training..did regular weight training..did NOT switch to lo-fat milk..even drank 300ml bottles of cream for energy! After about 6 months i reduced my waist fromm 48" to 35"..and vastly improved my body composition and became muscular and veiny..people noticed! Moral of the story is...any time i have been fat,,it was due to way too many carbs..and oh yeah..my numbers and blood work improved significantly
