I'm over 70 and have the same wish, although I could go back 10 years more. I am ketogenic but am worried that I may have waited too long. I have severe edema and have had at least 2 CVEs. Because of the heart failure, I have become much more strict about being in nutritional ketosis. I figure that I just need to stay the course and see if there is any improvement or not. I already know it (the diet) sure won't hurt anything.

I came out, as a “low carber” last winter. I was 223.5 lbs, exercising a lot. Was still gaining weight and feeling unwell. About to turn 53, no energy, blood work not bad, but borderline. Decided to cut bread and sugar, added more beef, bacon and eggs, along with avocado and more veggies. Pretty much most of what he is talking about, I went through. In 5 months, I lost 63 lbs, and find it easy to maintain my weight since hitting goal weight 4 months ago. Bloodwork, vital signs, fitness and sense of well being vastly improved and still improving. Low Carb is the better way of life. Apparently, I am now the “go to” guy at work for questions regarding fat loss and health and fitness.Funny, I work in healthcare.

[@joseanker2059]

I’m 77. My youngest child was born in 1972. I put on a lot of weight and lost 14 kilos on the Atkins diet which was controversial at the time. A visit to the doctor 9 months later he was so impressed with how well I looked and the weight I’ lost. I proudly told him about my Atkins diet. He told me how dangerous that diet was, the Atkins was a quack doctor etc etc. I went back to eating normally because I didn’t want to die from heart disease. I struggled with my weight for many years until I found the LCHF lifestyle.

[@joshkatz4459]

My primary care physician told me to reduce animal fat in my diet; this would improve my lipid profile (high triglycerides, low hdls, high vldls). My lipid profile got much worse. Decided to try a low-carb diet and was rewarded within a month and now at three months with the best lipid levels in my life. Most medical doctors treat their patients as a population instead a person. Lesson is to gather information from many sources and make your own decision.

Same here, except that I'd call my results preposterous. I started it just to shed a little weight but it ended up fixing... well, pretty much everything, and I had quite a few issues that needed fixing. I never understood why quitting meth made me _less healthy_ but, as it turns out, it was just because I'd "fast" for days while on a good, old fashioned meth binge, from which I'd usually recover in a day or two anyway.

[@maricamaas2326]

​@@sherrylouise9495 It is an energy source. If not yet fat adapted ( not able to dig into one's own fat stores); ingesting oil can keep one satisfied for longer into the morning, after fasting during the night. It also serves to cleanse, by stimulating bile excretion. (Listen for example to John Doulliard's soft cleanse protocol - advised to be done from time to time - not on a constant basis). Had been taking OO regularly myself - in the morning and evenings, but then realised it probably is not a good idea, since it's preventing me from losing more weight.

Half the carbohydrate in coca cola, honey, and table sugar isn't "just glucose"; it's fructose, which goes straight to liver and gives you NAFLD.

[@julienadam3848]

To my knowledge no research has even demonstrated that fructose can contribute to NAFLD in the absence of overfeeding. If you can provide a source to back up this claim I'll be very impressed. Research comparing overfeeding fructose and overfeeding saturated fats find that saturated fats cause greater fat deposition in the liver than fructose. This is a terrible argument against fructose.

well... I have been on the keto diet for 2 months . I have dumped 16 pounds. My blood pressure has dropped significantly. It is a challenge, but I am not hungry, mostly just trying to resist influence by others to have goodies to eat. I do believe it is different for everyone, you have to fine tune the fat/protein/carb ratio to fit your body metabolism. After 2 months I am now trying to really focus in on super healthy,nutritional carbs just for the needed vitamins/minerals. But I believe I have broken the sugar ( as in drinks, cookies ,ice cream, candy ) addiction....and I was really hooked. The thing that surprised me the most was how sensitive I have become to foods. I am still drinking 2 large cups of coffee in the morning and I can really feel the caffiene and I know this is not good so that is my neck hurdle, dump the coffee or at least get it down to a very small cup in the morning....damn I love the coffee

I was in grade school during the same period with one fat student. During that same period my dad worked for Wonder Bread Hostess Cake and there was never a shortage of bread and sugar products at home. Remember the slogan, "Builds strong bodies 12 ways"? We all bought into Wonder Bread's lies and I ate a ton of that crap all washed down with 16 ounce bottles of Pepsi with real sugar. It's no wonder that I had poor sleep habits. That all led to "wheat belly" and my 6th grade basketball coach recommending to me that I "skip the potatoes at dinner time". I carried that wheat belly all my life. It didn't matter what I did. I tried all the various diets and nothing worked. I even got into cycling and rode 30,000 miles and never lost the belly. It wasn't until I tried the carnivore diet that things clicked and the belly shrunk. Ancel Keys's remains should be exhumed, shot in the forehead, and shoved down a garbage disposal.

No one stays vegan for long, because they eventually get very sick. Only the young can be vegan because the fruit burns out the pancreas, and the starchy carbs also contribute to insulin resistance.

By the way, the label he shows at 49:35 that's full of unpronounceable ingredients, about 40+ of them... that label is from baby formula in case you were wondering. That's what the label looks like on the garbage they're feeding to babies. It's just soy, corn, some oil and sugar, and a bunch of synthetic vitamins. This is why the mother (as long as we're not talking about an adoptive mother, they obviously don't have any option to breastfeed) needs to be eating a good diet so she can actually breastfeed for longer than a couple months. I almost lost my milk supply, it was getting worse and worse and my baby was crying after eating and hungry every hour. It was horrible. I tried every supplement and nasty herbal bars, herbal teas, herbal "candy," power pumping, etc. Nothing worked.

When you focus on obesity rather than insulin, you stigmatize people with obesity. Thin people also are insulin resistant. And obesity is also caused by stress hormones, hypothyroidism, and chronic inflammation (which can be caused by many many non-dietary sources).

[@franklin5615]

Why is it when fat people eat all day in a calorie deficit, they lose body fat? Shouldn't the "insulin" argument prove that is impossible?

[@giorgiozaghen4974]

@@franklin5615 It's just starvation. You can lose weight by starving or you can lose weight by reversing insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia all the while being satisfied and allowing your metabolism to fire (accomplished by some combination of fasting and ketogenic foods). The key difference is sustainability. Sure you can eat around the clock in a caloric deficit and expect to lose weight, but only after months of fatigue and a tanked metabolism. There's a reason people can never stick to these calories-in/calories-out diets, and it has nothing to do with their willpower or their gluttony. Starvation is not a healthy treatment, and it's important to remember that losing weight does not always imply good health, but good health always implies losing weight. Just because a weight-loss method works doesn't mean it magically achieves healthcare relevance.

I have a water distiller, so I never drink fluoride water anymore. I also never cook in fluoride water. But, I can't do anything about the water I shower in.

Amazing!!

[@DurgeshBailoor]

Yes I agree with many of the viewers that combination of LCHF with intermittent fasting gives amazing results ,,

I heard American Indian women used to eat a bear fat diet when they had trouble conceiving.

As a health and fitness professional and having a genetic predisposition to high cholesterol and diabetes, this is an interesting topic. A factor that wasn’t really touched on is that regardless if you’re eating low carb, keto, or balanced diet….1. you will not lose fat if your calorie intake is above your maintenance level. You may lose water weight initially when cutting carbohydrates however that will plateau and weight loss will stop if calorie intake is above maintenance. 2. Is the blood work improvements a result of the weight loss or a the macronutrient changes in your diet. When examining the meta data in regards to lipid profile and blood work, it tends to suggest it’s a result of the weight loss and not the particular diet profile. I’m honestly on the fence in regards to point 2. I have very low body fat, exercise daily with cardio and resistance training and my cholesterol and A1c are still high. I’m almost willing to do an experiment on myself following a low carb diet with maintenance calories and rechecking my blood work in a couple months.

Excellent Podcast 🙂👍

8:04 exactly how I felt lol. It feels like it's too good to be true.

[@KR-jg7gc]

This is so heavy on me.. I am on carnivore, (or trying to be)... Obviously this is not pop news sp everyone was just in shock, and some were backhanded critical which is fine.. I wish my aunts would get on some form of a low carb. All 3 are overweight and whether diagnosed or not, are diabetic and obviously hyperinsulinemic smh.. I wonder if my generation will wake up. I just wana stay healthy and alive long enough until they realise whats happening and change. 28 year old from South africa 😥 How many lives must suffer 😥😥

Why aren't people showing this to all their type 2 friends and relatives? Most people know someone who has it.

Avoid fruit except avocados and olives. Fruit has been modified to increase sweetness (read sugar).

Ray Shields Berries too? 😟 We grow our own and when in season, I eat them everyday thinking I’m doing well... Am I misled?

[@orioleaszme3415]

@@paxvobiscum9859 some berries are really low in natural sugar. Look up their nutritional information online. Also, tomatoes, cucumber, and bell peppers are fruits that are low in sugar.

[@00HoODBoy]

@@paxvobiscum9859 berries are high in fiber which helps mitigate the sugar as far as I know. They are probably the best type of fruit to eat

[@TB1M1]

Completely stupid. The body needs potassium and vitamin C in huge amounts. We are not animals we do not make it.

I have a friend who's a beer alcoholic. He only eat once a day, or every other day. He hate sweets, fruit and vegetables, and only eat meat. He can work for 8 to 10 hours a day with no problem. Is it because of the omad, Intermittent fasting and carnivore diet I'm confused🤔

[@sheiladelashmutt665]

All of the above....how many beers does he drink in a day?

Me 20 gr a day of carbs at least till all my weights gone

"We had one fat kid in our school. We called him fatty...nowadays one in four kids are fatties." This made me burst out laughing. Sad state of affairs though.

[@gunsnposes.363]

go watch cole robinson channel called "snake diet"..... he is very legit and his fat shaming videos are hilarious

[@stevejoshua9536]

I remember Fatty. He was in my Social Studies & Geometry Classes, and was actually a very bright kid. But in Phys Ed, whenever Fatty attempted to climb the rope, suddenly no one wanted to spot for him.

[@ricksikora216]

Amen

[@sheilacollins9384]

We had one too. We called her "the Whale" (her last name was Whalen). When I look at the grade school pix now, I see that she was merely a bit plumper than the rest of us. She didn't look at all like the overweight kids of today. It's crazy what's happened since the 70s.

People are so used to getting sick with diabetes, cancer, Alheimer's and other diseases that they say it's just aging and genetics.

[@nerychristian]

I'm on a carnivore diet. Would that be considered low carb diet?

[@iandalrymple7255]

80's Nostalgia Guy yes for sure. I do only fatty meat and low starch vegetables and keep total carb under 20 grams and my ketones are always between 1 and 3

[@lightningslim]

Assuming you are only eating carnivore, yes. Or call it " No carb" if you like.

[@lucyburr5516]

80's Nostalgia Guy, yes because you are not eating anything that has carbohydrate for the main part. Some cheese may have minimal carbs if you eat that.

[@w4rsh1p]

absolutely. Unless you're chugging milk.

[@magicbbman32]

More a no carb diet, but yes.

[@tonys8243]

Excellent now as it was when ...👍

[@albertomassari77]

Its hard to eat less than 20 gr. of carbs a day... Just 1 avocado has 18 gr., 1 carrot has 7 gr 1 egg has 2 gr., protein is transform into glucose by glucogénesis...

[@H4KnSL4K]

I would be careful with the statement at @38:38 .. "carbs are carbs". That sounds a lot like "calories are calories" and is also incorrect! (e.g. half of sucrose is fructose, and that makes a big difference.)

[@mrmingsun]

Well done. Right on the money. Carbs are not sugar. Sugar is half fructose which is 10 times worse. If glucose is as bad as fructose how do we explain the 300 gram plus of glucose people eat in the healthiest populations. Ie Sardinia, Costa Rica, japan, and parts of California. And carbohydrate consumption didnt increase in asian and African countries and yet when fructose came in massively (no increase in total carbs), we asians are getting sicker and sicker. So absolutely, you are right. CARBS ARE NOT SUGAR!!!

[@theskyehiker]

All carbs end up in the blood as glucose, which is what he also said. In that way, carbs are carbs.
