[@doctorarunkumar]

Thanks @dr pal for having me in the show. It was a wonderful no-holds-barred discussion on nutrition. I really enjoyed the conversation with you. Glad to see the excellent responses from the viewers. Hope more and more myths get busted and people get benefited with proper low carb nutrition...

[@thehealthydrive7359]

Really enjoyed your elaboration...crystal clear low carb concepts which is the need of the day. Keep up the good work!

[@jayanthijohnvictor6721]

Dr. Arun, thank you for all your valuable advice. I have a question about the healthy fat recommendations on daily basis when following low carb diet. I’m aware of protein requirement and of course following moderate carb diet but need little guidance on healthy fat intake in gms or percentage for daily allowance

[@90skidaagiyanaan]

Happy to see you both together

Dr. Arun is an absolute blessings for Tamil speaking population. I personally and my family have benefited a lot from his videos and advices. This video happens to be a very consise summary on what he has been advocating for a long time now. Thanks a ton, Dr. Arun. And Thanks Dr. Pal for inviting him!

[@vijaysankaranarayanan8322]

Am I only the one who get low volume when Dr.Pal speaks (asks questions) nearing the later part of the conversations? Dr.Pal and Dr.Arunkumar thanks a ton. This kind of conversation should happen often to educate (help) us from social networking mis-informations.

[@anucher]

Yes it's reduced later the volume

[@hra345]

Yes Dr pal has Mike issue

[@RajDhana586]

When my wife shared this video link, I felt 1:22HR video is too long to watch and added to my watch list. Since video started playing already, I just started listening. I could not pause or skip this video, completed this video at one go. Best 1hr I spent on KZbin recently. I higly recommend this video to others. Two things I want to callout from the video. 1. I want to call out the part where Dr Arun discussed about black patches on Children. It's an early sign of insulin resistance. I have noticed many kids having this and parents have no idea why it's happening. They are thinking it's some skin issue and trying out different soap, etc. Please take them to doctor and consult. 2. Only when parents are eating properly, they can make kinds eat correct. We can't ask out kids to skip processed food when we eat them. So everything starts from parents. Dr Arun called out this clearly. Let's start the change from ourselves(parents). Thanks Dr Arun and Dr Pal for this wonderful video.

[@stankssmile5865]

There was a couple in Netherlands and the man commenting that his wife gives them baby carrots for snack since their girl was born, she is age 7 and asks for carrots whenever she is hungry outside meal times

[@bhuvie19]

A very good discussion, Firstly, every parent should understand that a skinny child doesn’t mean weak child and chubby child doesn’t equate to healthier kid. Stop giving into the peer pressure or pressure from relatives. Just give healthier food. Instead of giving bigger quantity of food, give better quality food. Let kids snack on nuts and dry fruits. Stop buying cookies, don’t keep them at home. I prepare ragi urundais or nuts urundai and keep it. It’s not difficult, may take 30 mins for 15 or 20 ragi balls. I do it once in 2 weeks. I keep the dry fruits and nuts handy and ask kids to have it when they are hungry. We do eat out once in a week but keep the junk minimal. I don’t say this is a good or bad food, help them choose healthier food. My 9 year old knows soda is not good and it can damage your health. He has never had so never craves. But he loves burgers and I do allow him to have two or three in a month. We don’t want to have kids with eating disorders. We want kids to learn what is good for health and what is a better option. All these are time and energy consuming for parents but that’s how parenting is I guess. Let’s try our best, do what you can! Cheers 🎉

[@karthigakirthisingam6547]

The black patch behind the neck is true in my case. I had it when I was a teenager. At the age of 28 I got diabetes. By following Dr. Pal started IF, eating consciously with exercise and doing quiet well now. 😊

[@prasadr3059]

Follow LCHF as well. It would be the best for you.

1:15:12 ...when the Palmoil we get in market is not of high quality (since its not taken out of kernel, as i understand) and its imported from other soil, isn't it better to stick to the oils our ancestors used!

[@bhuvibhoons4111]

Thanks for this wonderful video . We lives in US. 1. My son doesn’t like to eat anything outside. Wherever I go , need to pack food from home for him. He likes fresh juices , which I need to get from a fruit shop or Whole Foods on trips. This includes birthday parties too.. Even I give him option to try food at the party, he doesn’t like it. 2. After he started his school, he likes candies, but restricted one candy per day . He accepted it . Later , he saw me throwing candies on trash cans, he started throwing candies too. Not eating and shows me it’s not healthy ma. 3. Nobody would believe , I introduced ice cream only when he was 3.5 yrs old, he eats it once in a while now, not addicted to it . 4. As a parent’s, I don’t encourage to candies , bulk container ice creams at home .. it’s restricted in our home shopping list. 5. My son loves my cooking . So if I make anything he eats , without any issues . I thank god and my son .. they make me worry free about his health . I wish god everyday to give him good gut health and mental wealth through his life time .

[@dr.anandprakash7612]

My son was also like that till he started to go to school.... afterwards alas!

[@k7raman]

children follows the adults who live around them. Mostly parents are the reason for the bad health habit of the children. Kudos to your all home members

சிறப்பான விழிப்புணர்வு வலையொளி (podcast). நன்றிகள் பல, இரு மருத்துவர்களுக்கும்.

[@damnpravinrockzz]

One of the best podcast. Dr. Arun Kumar sir's in-depth explanation was top-notch. Thank you Dr. Pal for this discussion

[@samstephen7]

Very much needed podcast for our Tamil/Indian community mainly for parents. In my view IF is a good protocol mainly for people struggling to practice calorie restriction and snacking. It’s much more disciplined approach more than any magic formula.

[@shiyakuga4360]

I loved the conversation because I have two kids .thank you so much for both Doctors

[@Celestial_Charm156]

I could see dr.pal who's very knowledgeable still listens very humbly from Dr.Arun who is also a well talented and awareness creator for our lifestyle... Tnq both of them for this video 🎉

[@ajaykrdr]

Super knowledgeable talking with Dr Arun . Hearty thanks to Dr Pal. Actually I am following IF with moderate carb and exercises (walking playing badminton)diet for the last ten months and lost about 20 kg. Ilwas 99 now 79 . I thank you both from my bottom of my heart ❤️. Expecting an English book soon . Thank u ❤️❤️❤️

[@colleenag1]

More parents need to watch this! I also had dark patches on my neck.. I used to get teased for not bathing.. little did I or my parents know at the time that I was pre-diabetic. Dr Pal, my niece hated vegetables when she was young. Until one day.. she came back from school in Belgium, and in one of the classes the kids made roasted vegetables.. and the class had that for lunch. She came home and told her mom to make the same thing. Overnight she fell in love with carrots and broccoli 😊 Peer pressure also has an impact on what the child will and will not like, and fortunately in Europe kids eat well. On the other hand, we have parents globally who seem to project their likes and dislikes on the child. Therefore when school serves roast chicken and salad for lunch, we proudly say, no my child won’t eat that, I’ll send mutton biriyani 😁

[@innovativeideas4614]

Great conversation I was also a victim of insulin resistance. By God grace I am out of it with good and timely nutritional habits. I had similar patches for many years and couldn't recognize it as IR... now no more patches, no carb craving... maintaining disciplined nutrition.

[@SD-qz7fe]

How long did it take to get rid of the patches.. Could u plz answer? Any more symptoms and time they took, wud b helpful for others. Thank u

Dr Pal I'm already a huge fan of yours and I've begun following the sarcadian rhythm and reaped huge benefits. I've also started practising Yogasanas. It's already helped me lose 5 kilos in a month. This podcast with Dr. Arun has come as a boon because even though I follow the sarcadian rhythm, I do have carbs for my 2 meals. I now understand how carbs play a role in slowing down the fat burning Ketosis process. Thanks loads for all the info. You doctors are the real heroes. Cannot thank you enough!!!! 😊😊😊😊

Wonderful conversation by two doctors on healthy eating. It's very nice it's in English. Lot of other language people also can benefit. I regularly follow Dr.Arun and Dr.Pal vedios and have helped me a lot to improve my healthy eating and healthy life style. Defenitly I experience the more fibre food makes so much change with positive mental well being also. I take wheat Bran flakes a small portion along with fruits and veg to reach the daily needed fibre intake. People allergic to wheat can try oats bran.
