It should but it will bankrupt the food industry and ruin the idea to make us stop eating meat. The truth is plants and chemicals in food make a lot of profits. Imagine everyone eating fresh meat and animal products(diary, eggs,etc) plus some vegetables and fruit during season. Imagine people could eat 1 or 2 times a day only a steak in the summer with some salad. How is it compared to selling people kilos of cheap to produce vegetables, chips, waffles, seed oils, etc every day? On carbs every 4 hours blood sugar drops and makes you feel hungry no matter how much you have eaten. Also instead of 20 products in supermarkets now the industry sells thousands. Lets also add the other big business- pharma. People buy tons of supplements to get what they would get from animal products. So, yes, they should but they never will.

I went low carb just about 14 years ago. My husband had 3 strokes and we found out he was diabetic. I put him on the Adventist influence diet they gave me at the hospital. Every 3 weeks, he had bloodwork. Always worse, as was he. This went on for 8 months. It hit me that the so called healthy diet that had failed me for decades was failing him. I read Good Calories, Bad Calories and watched The Oiling of America. Switched us both to the old 1950s British diet in the prologue. His next bloodwork improved. Kept getting better. Several months later a stranger understood him. Still doing great. I started at barely fitting a size 18. Lost 10 pounds the first 2 weeks. I also craved butter. Lots of butter. And as I was losing weight I let myself eat all the butter I wanted. Over a pound a week easy. Now when I was 42 an exray showed degenerative bone disease in my right foot. I was told by 57 I would be in a wheelchair. Nothing they could for it. I started the low carb diet and the butter cravings at 52. Before that I was starving myself fat and sick on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day for decades. Every step for years had been painful and I had a job where I would get 70 thousand steps a day. Pain was normal in my life. About 4 months in my butter cravings finally slowed down. I was walking down the stairs and it suddenly hit me that my foot was not hurting. I found out years later that butter if full of things you need for healthy bones. I am now 65 and I can hop on that foot. Butter heals.

I always have to mention my grandparents who ate LOADS (I mean loads...) of butter, eggs, bacon, meat at every meal, and drank wine. Grandma used LARD (real animal lard, not Crisco!!) for everything - cakes, pie crusts, frying fish and chicken. They ate TONS of cheese and olives and saved all their bacon grease and used that to fry their ham & eggs and make french toast. They NEVER cut the skin or fat off their meat or poultry and loved eating the crispy skin of chicken or turkey. Neither of them ever did any exercise other than the daily gardening, house cleaning, or occasional walk around the block to see the neighbors. They were both very healthy and independent and lived into their 100's (grandma 106). My great-grandfather ate the same way and died at 99 slipping on icy steps taking out his garbage after an ice storm. - who knows how long he would have lived if he didn't have the accident. I don't believe ANYTHING the mainstream medical establishment tells me - as a matter of fact, if they tell me it's bad for me, I run right out and add it to my intake.

The root of all problems are not carbs (especially physiologically appropriate carbs like fruit, fruit juices, some roots, honey, maple syrup and even sucrose, i.e. glucose+fructose without antinutrients and too much fiber). The problem is decades of PUFAs consumption which are not only toxic, estrogenic, carcinogenic, degenerative..., but also pro-diabetic. They are released to blood stream from fat tissue (where they are stored due to consumption) and block glucose entering to cell, while also damaging cells.

I've experimented with the opposite. I dropped the fat nice and low and didn't give a monkeys how much sugar I ate. I didn't eat like I was trying to win a bet but didn't stop when still hungry to hit a target amount of calories. (I'm not sure about protein and also alcohol, whether it acts like a fat - eating lots but still hungry - or like a carbohydrate - full on less calories, I would be on the safe side and keep alcohol low or none) Logic was carb calories were filling and fat calories were not. I don't think I've ever been low carb though on a continuous basis, other than exercising away my carb stores and feeling a bit weak and jelly legged. Negative is have to drop fat REALLY low (under 10g a day) to lose any weight and it's slow. Positive is good mood and lots of energy. I have found that any food that is high in fat I have to stop eating when I'm still hungry or else I will gain weight. Sugar is more filling than I thought it would be. I feared I could eat endless quantities of it and rack up easy calories.

[@dmacarthur5356]

@@TimpBizkit My body is horrible on carbs, especially sugar. Packs lbs on like crazy.

[@TimpBizkit]

@D Macarthur how low is your fat intake? It's easy to accidentally go too high with even a packet or 2 of crisps. I've made this mistake and stayed the same weight. 20 or 10g fat a day is ideal but it is easy to exceed 50, 60, 70g of eating at a friend's house with unknown oil content. I haven't gained but lucky to shift a pound every couple of months. It is like the body only wants to pick and nibble at small quantities of body fat and eat 95 percent carbohydrate. I haven't tried keto though have heard of negative side effects and fat doesn't fill me up at sensible calorie numbers. I have heard that carbohydrate fasting has an appetite suppressant effect but at what price I'm not sure. Sugar can have a lot of calories but they are usually balanced by the extended duration before hunger strikes again. Fat has even more calories but hunger strikes quickly so I would have to consciously ignore it and keep track of calories. It's like feeding a cat a bowl of dreamies. They will eventually overcalorie due to the high fat content and turn into garfield if left to their own devices. If you can ration them out and at calorie neutral they will be mewing at you for more (note I am not familiar with the carnivorous physiology so am unsure how carbohydrate relates to cat satiation and function, their regular food tends to be self limiting and the cat simply loses interest in food before a calorie surplus occurs). Also perhaps some people convert sugar and starch to fat more than others, and whether certain hormones in dairy influence this even if the milk or yogurt is skimmed. Weight gain for me is the usual unrestricted fatty carbohydrate foods. If there is one thing bad about sugar or artificial sweetener is it opens up another range of high calorie foods, and now with pizza you are enjoying scones with clotted cream and jam; cakes and doughnuts and ice cream. I have found fat calories the easiest to remove and the body doesn't try to trick me into eating more and moving less, whereas if I cut out sugar, or starch I just hunger for bigger portions. Stuffing my stomach with celery doesn't satiate if I'm after glucose. Eating fat to me feels like that unsatisfying celery but somehow it is high in calories.

I just found you with this video that came up in my feed. I am so impressed. I’m 74 and been vegan since 1968. My cholesterol until 10 years ago was too low I was told. Now it’s too high. My diet is not different no dairy, no carb, no sugar. But my family genetics in old age brings cholesterol up. I’ll have to figure this out maybe through you videos. Also my family has a good diet. Everyone. But something is wrong with insulin etc. ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

How could most MDs not have this understanding & application that makes so much sense. This video of yours deserves to be watched by every alive human being whether healthy or not. Please keep up. With much appreciation to you for a job so well done.

[@JesusIsGoodTruth]

Because most MDs don’t read outside their indoctrinated books. We’ve been lied to about what kinds of foods are good and bad. We are told canola oil is good for your heart, while butter clogs your veins. But we aren’t told how canola oil goes through a toxic chemical refining process and how it was originally made for machine parts. Funny how they were letting us go to McDonald’s during the mandates but not to the gym.

[@consorciasantiago4009]

@@JesusIsGoodTruth It does not take much to break from what is common and accepted by majority. I am a retired RN and I always wondered as a child on how is it that people who seemed to eat the best foods get the worst illness? How a person who eats only at the point of starvation could have better immunity than those who eat on a regular basis. How people who understand the least in anatomy and physiology seem to tolerate high stress? Those who wake with the sun and sleep at nightfall have better immunity? Just what Mark Twain said, quoted in this video, it is sad to believe something as truth when it is not.

Have to touch a stationary object when walking in the dark, so I know if I'm standing up or falling over. Have to touch the wall in my shower when my eyes are shut, so I don't fall.

I am 76 and often had attacks of pancreatitis, even being hospitalized once. In 1995 I decided to look for means of prevention. Being a bio-medical engineer since 1975, I did some research, then did some experiments. I found 3 tablespoons of olive oil both stopped the pain of an attack in 5 minutes, and daily prevented them. My son, also prone to this problem, also had the same results with olive oil. This has worked since then, for both of us, except for lapses of a few days which resulted in an attack, until stopped by olive oil. Seems the advise actually causes the problem!

[@lawrenceleske3470]

I forgot to add that only pure olive oil works. I have tried many, only to find that perhaps 60% or more of "olive oils" in the US are fake or diluted olive oils which have no effect or make the pain worse. So beware. I learned the hard way, to my surprise.

Thank you for your video, I have been on keto diet (under 50g of carbs/day) and my levels of everything got normalized or improved. Before that I was so sick with metabolic syndrome, obesity, hypertension, cardiac illness, cholesterol and triglycerides out of the roof, inflammation, and autoimmune reactions. After two years on keto I was feeling great, I even quite coffee. For the sake of experimentation I made a 6 months break, where I started eating grains, bread, pasta, sweets, potatoes, and basically a “normal” American diet. After 6 months, my weight went up so fast, I had a very serious case of inflammation on my knees, and skin autoimmune rush, I was feeling very tired and my blood pressure went out of the roof again. I am back on keto, and I will never get back to eating carbs. It is so bad that I don’t understand why the medical and pharmaceutical communities didn’t point it out as the root of the main medical issues already. Well I know why lol

The fact that the first thing that the doctor asks you is how old you are, and then they check the table in their head and say for example - it is perfectly normal for you to have high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis and other chronic symptoms because you are this old, take these expensive drugs to control the symptoms, is the worst scam ever...

@@johngalt97 Some of it is based on the drug companies and some on the backward logic of medical science.

When my mother-in-law was in the hospital they fed her through a tube. They also had to keep giving her insulin because of what they fed her. I was blown away because I figured they'd be able to give the perfect food through a tube because they don't have to focus on taste. Life saving medicine is wonderful, but doctors are completely clueless when it comes to living healthy.

[@jobrown8146]

The range that is used in blood test results are not scientifically deduced. They are simply an average of a number of people's results which is why the range can change over time. As more people get worse results the range will change according to that. So basically the range is not what is "best" it is just an average.

[@AlphaG33k1]

I've only recently (about a year) eased into low-carb and eating a more healthy, nearly all non-processed or lightly-processed foods, and I must say I have been impressed. Not just by the results on the bloodwork, but also by the results in the mirror, how my clothes fit, my weight, and overall wellness and ability to do hours of hard yardwork and not be sore for days afterward and not needing nsaids for those several days. Aside from chocolate, I really don't miss any of the processed, carb-laden crap I was eating before, either. I was very skeptical when I started, thinking eating avocado and other high-fat items every day would make me fat, but it has done just the opposite. Big thanks to Doctors like Dr. Ekberg, who are willing to tell the truth and explain why these things work. We've been lied to for decades by mainstream doctors who are beholden to big pharma rather than looking out for the well-being of their patients.
