I will start the sardine fast and monitor. I had been eating ribeyes and eggs for 4 weeks. Goal is to reverse 44 years of insulin resistance. I am 5'0 (started at 127lbs. Now down to 117-119lbs). With skin tags, cherry angiomas, a persisting lower belly, eye floaters and near sightedneess (started recently), heaviness of legs sometimes, i did fail the finger print test on tibia.also a cyst on R upper back (it is shrinking). Ive been feeling amazing on ribeyes but i want to follow your protocol and truly reverse insulin resistance. I so appreciate that you just share this information. I thank you from the bottom of my heart. I feel like i am not alone anymore. I was vegan and then Mediterranean. I am a physical therapist for 22 years now. I want to be healthy for my son.

4. Aerobic exercise. It is never mentioned here but read the scientific literature. Aerobic exercise (45 mins 3X week) fights and even reverses insulin resistance, in addition to increasing fat oxidation. It in many ways, it is the opposite of "gaining fat effortlessly" because your cells are need that glucose for energy and will use it first, before it uses fat. Keto is just shutting down one of the two metabolic pathways (glucose and fat) nature gave us to survive in different environments. The Inuit survived for thousands of years in Canada and Greenland eating practically no carbs.

I really appreciate you showing the importance of measuring! Other influencers seem to discourge measuring which, to me, is bad advice with no scientific basis. "How you feel" is not telling a person much of anything, although it is important to learn how to be intouch with your body. After all, most people that come to ketogenic diets are sick, looking for help. There is nothing wrong with measuring in any case and only provides a better understanding of what is happening. And, an undisputable fact is, if you do not measure, you do not know. Coming from an analytical profession where measuring was critically important, I am a measuring geek!😊

[@willister8009]

you are so great!!! thank you so much .....love your work!!!

[@Lilione111]

If my LDL is extremely high, should I be eating high fat? Butter etc. I’m worried! I’m glad you said eat before sunset. I like eating dinner around 4pm 😄

[@deltapi8859]

Currently I'm doing alternate day fasting. I find the ketosis + keto (measured with sticks) is very stable. I tried to eat keto and every day, but the ketosis would go back. With alternate day fasting ketosis persists even with quite a lot of carbs (60-80g). However since I take metformin sometimes my bloodsugar is at 70 (one time after workout even 66).

Thanks! Could you make a video on slim people insulin resistance? 🙏

[@emmashowalter2792]

Being on Carnivore 17 mo I am still trying to get my blood sugar below 100 in the morning! For the first 55 years of my life I had Hypoglycemic then it has switched! UGH! Being vegetarian and vegan... yeah, bad for sure! Weight climbed. Ph bad! Weight going up and down! Enlarged heart for years!Scary things because of Chronic Lyme and Epstein Barr since a kid! This is great advice and pray it helps me! Thank you!

What about those people who form kidney stones and are told to eat less protein and less oxalate rich foods how are the6 supposed to undertake a Keto diet?

[@Marbies3]

Keto diet helps prevent kidney stones from occurring, due to the fat content you consume. It's when you cut fat out completely that you develop kidney stones.

Any Dr Boz Insulin Ratio Chart ? How do we know what numbers are good when dividing glucose by ketones ?

[@ebenspannenberg1617]

Excellently done thank you kindly🙌🌹

[@PJBASS8225]

I do a keto diet. I think im doing something wrong though. I eat all keto foods and stay below 30g of carbs yet my keto meter says .5. How could I see you because everything you say in your videos I agree with.

[@mystatinfreelife]

Dr. Boz ratio, lower is better, but that only tells us whether we're trending in the right direction. Is there a recommended ratio? Like Trigs/HDL under 2 (in mg/dL measures) is the gold standard, and under 1 is the platinum standard. What are the gold/platinum standards for the BG/Ketones ratio?

[@YeshuaKingMessiah]

The reason to eat early is to put the insulin rise from ur meal(s) in the morning rise from cortisol that u produce to wake up urself up & energize u for ur tasks! Ur going to have that morning rise no matter what, so use it to ur advantage and make it rise a little higher THEN than to give another lg insulin rise from a meal btwn midafternoon to bedtime. Ideally- Eat Early It takes time to get here but have this endgoal in mind. We are set up to eat dinner in our society, that’s when we socialize too; nighttime. So u have to learn how be w/others eating but ur just having an iced water w/a lemon twist or a decaf w/some cream or butter. I used to eat OMAD mid-late afternoon, make dinner for my family to eat at 6:30ish and serve & sit w/ them but not eat. Ideally eating brk and no food after noon would be key but I was so broken that my metab still changed enough for the first 55# to come off. Well, I did do weekly EFs also… But the next 30# would have had me moving my OMAD to morning. (Life happened, capped by a death and crowned w/Lockdown 2020 sigh)

[@tomboytwig]

Is there a supplement I can take to help me understand all this and retain it?

[@moodberry]

Can you expand on how exactly to use the formula of glucose divided by ketones? Consider me math challenged. Should I do this only once a day, or during the day besides just the morning?

[@philochristos]

I may try that eating in the morning thing and not eating at night. That's going to be an adjustment because I like to eat at night.

[@waynelauracary9565]

If my endocrinologist said my pancreas does not work, could this be why even with 10g or less if carbs per day I still cannot get my blood sugar below 120? I have been so diligent and yet I am so distraught. My “specialist “ has not seemed to help either. Point into another direction? Thanks.

when ate high fat, low carb, I didn't lose weight. when I ate high protein and low fat, moderate carb, I lost weight

It’s almost like people’s bodies and metabolism’s are different and you need to find what works best for you…

[@TWilsonSquared]

This approach doesn’t resonate with me. First, it’s seems like a one-size-fits-all, hack-based, overly-complicated way to live. I went Whole Foods, plant based a year ago bc I was scared to become like my mom who has type2 and heart disease. I was always health-conscious, running daily and still my cholesterol was up to 201 on the high fat, low carb, moderate protein diet! After just 3 months whole food plant based, A1C went down, triglycerides went down, bad cholesterol went down. I’m never going high fat again. No thanks. I can eat all kinds of carbs, fruits and veggies, vegan proteins and no processed foods (meaning no oils, but whole food fats instead) and I feel better than ever. I just think people love hearing the great news that fat is good, but for my body, it wasn’t good. The Mastering diabetes guys, Dr Barnard, all kinds of other really good researchers show that increasing insulin sensitivity means detoxing your cells from lipid saturation (high fat). So, there’s way more science to this medicine than just seeing what happens when you eat a carb or when you eat fats. The cells have to be healed and then they easily respond to smaller amounts of insulin without needing the proverbial battering ram that is increased/injected insulin. If their science is correct,high fat is how you would actually increase your insulin resistance, sorry to say.

[@Michaelh217]

@@TWilsonSquaredinsulin is a storage hormone. How do people lose tons of weight on keto if it’s causing insulin to rise? Because it’s not 🤷🏻‍♂️. You do however still need to be in a caloric deficit to lose weight, no matter what diet you’re on.

She says that we should measure the glucose and ketones but I've never done this before. What's a good brand to buy or what do I look for?

How does the high fat diet impact potential gallstones? My dr suggests I have my gall bladder removed. I am trying to lower some liver numbers with better diet and lower fats was suggested.

[@Panniva]

I'm not a doctor or researcher so take this with a grain of salt, but the way I understand it from watching videos from the infamous doctors supporting keto/carnivore, low fat diets are actually a cause of gallstones. The low fat diet means that the bile stored in your gallbladder doesn't get used in the digestion process, and because of this, the bile sitting there over a long period of time begins to solidify into gallstones. I myself have gallstones and have opted to wait and see if carnivore will dissolve them without the need for surgery. The explanation from these doctors makes sense to me though, so I have a good feeling it will.

✅FRONTLOAD THOSE MEALS!✅ The first time anybody's ever told me that! With PBC, CKD, Hashimoto's, and IR... this information is GOLD! And here I've been eating when I'm hungry.

[@steffanrhoads1870]

how can we estimate insulin levels based upon blood glucose and blood ketones? my ketones are at 2.4 but my glucose is at 130 so what does this mean? i eat very little and am trying to fat fast but have coffee in the morning and a can of sardines at lunch and try to only ear butter every couple of hours (which is tough)

[@anniesshenanigans3815]

how about just eating fruits and veg and some added butter and spices? I just can't eat a bunch of meat.

[@terrifictomm]

My fasting insulin is between 16 and 20--whatever the units are that insulin is measured in. Micro-units per mililiter (µU/mL)

[@elliesorota8911]

Keep carbs under 20 grams a day? How do you get any fiber? vitamins?

[@baileym4708]

"the presence of insulin tells you to put that energy into..." The energy is calories. Calories in vs calories out is in fact the simplest way (in general not accounting for specific issues) of fat loss.

[@suekennedy883]

That's very simplistic. It's something that was said 50 years ago before we had a better understanding on physiology.

[@amitm7138]

In one of your videos you said "go to 2 meals a day" and that "breakfast is the easiest to cut out". Whereas in this video you suggest having the first meal as close to waking up, as possible. These two suggestions seem contradictory. Can you help reconcile them please?

been a t2d for 30 years really struggling lately keeping a1c below 7. dr put me on 10units of insulin b/c especially morning to noon glucose levels way too high. when i intermittent fast, blood sugar goes up, when i eat blood sugar goes up. i’m damned if i do and damned if i don’t. i believe that no carbs at all isn’t good for a person. very frustrating for me to get a handle on this.

[@nextgenerationbirdboy2479]

Should i be concerned if my keto numbers are .1 or .2

Do artifivial sweetners elevate insulin? I noticed my insulin went from 2.2 to 3.3 since 2 months ago and my A1C went up from 5.3 to 5.5. I make keto ice cream every weekend and also have no added sugar peanut butter. Are those the culprits?

[@MonteComeau]

I have been considering switching to a Ketone based diet but as a long distance runner and a 67 years old I need energy to perform. I have always consumed carb gels (60G carbs per hour) before and during my runs to get the energy I need, are you saying I can still have enough energy to participate in endurance sports without carbs? Very interested in your answer.

[@sigalsmadar4547]

Look up Dr Tim Noakes. He was a marathoner using high carbs, developed type 2, did his research, and is now a low carb believer and back to long distance running. Carbs are a short burst of fuel you have to frequently. Fats and protein give a long slow burn. Tim Noakes. Dr Benjamin Bikman on Low Carb Down Under youtube channel. Dr Troy Stapleton as well, runner who became type 1, tried ADA death recommendations and soon migrated to low carb. Testimony on that channel.

I've heard once your mitochondria acclimates to fat as fuel, your endurance will increase. There are other ketogenic endurance athletes on KZbin that provide info on that. Just need to make sure you're getting your electrolytes.
