Dr. Robert Lustig & Dr Berry discuss Metabolical & the Battle for Your Hunger

[@saltrock9642]

Had my physical yesterday along with blood work. The doctor said “ you are doing great, we have nothing to talk about, thanks for coming, have a great day”. This wasn’t the case 2 years ago before keto when I was 52 years old and 85 pounds overweight. Thanks to all my health heroes who walked me through this and educated the living “hell” out of me.

It was unbelievable to me when I saw what my ex-husband was being fed and the information he was given in the hospital and in a rehab facility after his bypass surgery last month. He's diabetic to the point of needing insulin injections, and they were feeding him high carb, high sugar junk and the advice was what we knew was wrong 30 years ago - egg whites, margarine, seed oils, grains and a harsh limit on red meat. It was malpractice on steroids.

When my diabetic brother was in the hospital, he was given 100 g of carbs at EACH meal…it was printed on his dietary menu that arrived with the meals! The meals were generally “white” with starchy carbs and a little bit of protein. Stunning to see that there is still no improvement in the hospital settings (and other healthcare facilities) when it comes to food for patients.

[@brendaallen6404]

I'm 65yrs now & that's why the thought of being forced to live in a nursing facility scares me to death. You no longer have any control over what you eat & they administer medications that are not needed. When my mother was living they had her taking pills that she couldn't even tell me what they wer for. And never got a clear answer frm the staff. I think they wer just padding the bill to Medicare with unnecessary medications. Wish she'd never gone in that place.

I adore Dr. Lustig! In my early years eating rock bottom low carb/high fat, it was hard to go it alone when EVERYONE thought I was nuts, but I was very sick and I needed a radical change after decades of eating a very low fat diet. Dr. Lustig’s video was important to my continuing on with courage. Going against my doctor’s disdain and criticism was hard and I say that it’s not for the faint of heart. Dr. Lustig is the perfect mix of brilliance, intelligence, confidence, and arrogance, and I mean that in the best way. I am a sugar addict, for real; in recovery. I trusted him and still do. I’ll get the book. Thank you, Dr. Berry. You’re saving lives.

[@Kyarrix]

You've probably heard of Dr Jason Fung also. He has written several books. I would also trust his information without question. Dr Jason Fung and Dr Robert Lustig were the reason I lost a tremendous amount of weight that I needed to lose after some surgeries. Like you I am healthier than I've ever been. I am 25 lbs or so away from my goal weight. Dr Berry isn't for everyone. I have tried to watch him but some of the things he says are not entirely accurate for everyone. When he presents the proper human diet as carnivore for everyone that just isn't true. Dr Lustig doesn't think it's true either nor does Dr Fung. He also mocked the idea of grass-fed meat in a video I saw. It is extremely important not to eat corn-fed meat. Obviously corn fed meat is going to be better than processed garbage but we have to do better. I'll give him another try. I don't have to agree with everything he says and he doesn't have to be right about everything. The fact that he is willing to have Dr Lustig on and accord him respect speaks well of him. Lustig doesn't advocate low carb for everyone he isn't low carb himself. It will be interesting to see if they touch on that.

I live in New Zealand. Although the supermarket shelves are full to overflowing, there is very little 'food' there. Many of the products have a shelf-life of up to three years, with about 20+ ingredients written on the packaging [OMG!]. Even in the fresh vege department the vast majority is non-organic, but it's by far the better option compared with all the packaged stuff. Nearly everyone in NZ buys their groceries from a supermarket. Trolleys are full of soft drinks, snacks, white bread, biscuits, etc, etc. No wonder sickness is so widespread. Being sick is so normalized these days - it's as if it can't be helped. The population badly needs educating about metabolic health! Thank you Dr. Rob Lustig!!!!

Even my dog won’t eat the chicken the next day. She sniffs it and walks away. My philosophy is if she won’t eat it then I probably shouldn’t either. I have friends that say I have a lot more willpower than they do, but I disagree. I have felt like crud most of my life. I can say that I have felt really good for about three weeks of my entire life. Willpower? No. It is a choice, and I choose not to be diabetic and on insulin.

[@marksanbourne3064]

I hope you got a dog. I’ve been relying on one of mine for several years. I just thought she was a cheese snob, but she turns her nose up at certain deli meats, and a number of other things. I first noticed that she would have nothing to do with American cheese, Velveeta, mozzarella, Brie, Muenster, and provolone. Then it was different bologna, mortadella, and ham curings. Weird that pepperoni and salami and liverwurst are ok … so, I’ve followed her lead. Same can be said of many veggies. Fruit is absolutely a fuggetaboutit food. She turns her nose up at the really bad stuff for dogs… nuts, seeds, raw onions, chocolate, bread. Kinda weird but I had two other dogs that were true omnivores. Both loved carrots, peas, corn out of the garden. Both stole melons and watermelons when they were ripe. Go figure as both were Norwegian Elkhounds. My mixed mutts now are about as good as it gets. I eat like them for the most part and they are on a raw diet. I just cook my meats as rare as possible and eat only veggies I grow. Fruit is about nonexistent except for raspberries I grow and blueberries from a friend. Btw… the animal with a digestive tract most similar to humans are dogs. Not chimps, gorillas, bonobos or any other primates or mammals. We definitely evolved together for 10’s of thousands of years. They have just a bit more stomach acid to dissolve bones, kill salmonella and ecoli and other bacteria. Makes me wonder when humans peaked. Last note… raw diet for dogs … poop is not stinky and doesn’t stick much to your shoe if stepped on and dries up quickly and turns white bcz of the bones and ground eggshells.

Becoming metabolically flexible is the most amazing thing I've ever done.

[@ArgentoRAWRz]

how?just keto and intermittent?

[@555Trout]

@@ArgentoRAWRz First fat adapt without intermittent. Only eat fats and protein and no-carb vegetables. That's gonna take some time with those addicted to carbs . Which is most people. They just don't realize it. So you'll be very hungry at times even though you are eating as much as you want. So best to be able to eat during this phase to satisfy cravings at least to some degree. When the cravings go away then slowly lessen your eating window. A 6 to 8 hour eating window appears to be the best for various reasons. Work your way slowly to this. The science seems to show the best window is morning to noonish feeding but this is hard for most people because of dinner sociality. My window is 12 to 7pm. Use low intensity exercise , non aerobic, exercise tactically. Best at the end of fasting period . Do this for some time. At the very least a few months. Then throw in an occasional long fast. At least 4 days to completely exhaust glycogen stores which happens at about 3 days. This compels the body to burn fat. Then back to intermittent and keto. It will become obvious when at some point in the process your body is switching between on-board food, fat, and consumed food. Hunger is no longer urgent. A seamless transition in other words starts to happen. But be patient. The typical westerner has never been without food for even a day. Their fat burning hardware is dormant and undeveloped. Constant insulin has never allowed the fat burning machinery to develop. The mitochondria have to be built up and the brown fat deposits have to be developed. It's pathetic when you think about it. There are other issues at play too regarding vegetable oil omegas stored in the cells that might be hard to get at metabolically. Be patient. It takes years for some to metabolize the stored vegetable omegas . And don't eat vegetable oils. Maybe worse than sugar for us. My brain actually runs much better on ketones and I prefer to be in ketosis so I often eat just once a day. But the science seems to show that's not ideal. 6 to 8 hour window appears best. I'm no expert or professional but I hope this leads you in the right direction. Do it. It will be the best thing you ever did for yourself .

[@ArgentoRAWRz]

Wow thanks for the long reply first off! I have currently started keto and intermittent loosely for about a week now. Mostly trying as u said to get used to fat no sugar no carbs or low carbs etc. I want to do that 12-7pm too! But the thing is im an artist. I have ubnormal for most ppl hours of sleep and work. And so far im just eating once till im full and properly. At least based on low carb and keto allowed food. (Recovering dark choc addict cause of my ex too cause before i met her i wasnt into sweets overall) *I keep editing my reply btw* My exercise usually is walking, nothing else. As for oils. I usually use olive oil as a Greek. Some sesame asian oil too. And now that ive started keto apart from this too thought i would incorporate coconut oil too. No other oil compels me to use. Ok maybe chilli oil and cilantro oil but made by me with a base of olive oil. Bacon oil sounds good too 😋

[@555Trout]

@@ArgentoRAWRz Sounds good. If you can handle intermittent already , great. Oils sound good. Don't be afraid of butter, lard and tallow, preferably grass fed. I hope you make it!
