Evidence Based Weight Loss | Michael Greger, MD

[@Vidyut_Gore]

I wish I'd known this before. All my life I'd been healthy. Mostly vegetarian, but I did eat eggs, or the occasional meats and dairy, including saturated fats. No issues. Regular blood tests, because parents were ill, and the only way to not scare them with regular tests were to make them for "everyone". Boring results. Always. The only time I needed a doctor post teenage was when I was pregnant. Then my ex had blood glucose in the stratosphere and got on a keto diet. So I did the same in support. For the first time EVER, my blood glucose, lipids AND liver enzymes showed up high. Stopped ASAP, but wasn't sure what to do. Exercised, ate "healthy" but without thinking through all this. Was STRUGGLING to get back to normal. This makes so much sense.

Dr Greger will make you as ill as he is, he cannot even speak clearly. Wake up smell the coffee and get back on real meats.

Among all your videos, those presentations are the one that have the most impacts for me. It s just a fantastic round up of information and the speed at which the information is delivered is optimal. Thank you!

[@kathebridges4736]

Thank you

[@estanford826]

OK I have to comment about the person in the audience who kept dropping their fork during the entire presentation. Do you think it was a troll from the meat and dairy industry?

Being vegan /vegetarian does not necessarily make you not clumsy, apparently🤣🤣🤣💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

That's what a vegan diet does to you, it makes you neurotic and gives you speech issues like the muppet on the stage..

I wish I could eat spicy spices. Just a tiny bit makes my mouth burn. Going to try these methods in the New Year.

Some interesting points but some of the comments made me go looking -- surprised but comment that ketogenic diets reduced life expendency. Dug up Dr. Greger's paper and its citation for that statement (Noto, Hiroshi, Atsushi Goto, Tetsuro Tsujimoto, and Mitsuhiko Noda. "Low-carbohydrate diets and all-cause mortality: a systematic review and meta-analysis of observational studies." PloS one 8, no. 1 (2013): e55030.) is about low-carb. None of the studies included were ketogenic. While plant based may be effective (when glucose is controlled) When people make such misleading comments, I don't trust the rest of what they say.

[@k.h.6991]

But if low carb is that bad, it makes sense that keto is worse. Even less whole grains and legumes and even more meat and full fat dairy. Less fiber and phytonutrients, more saturated fats.

[@UselessMinx]

I dug up the paper, curious about your assertion about being misleading and must correct you. You are right that there is no express mention of the specific phrase 'ketogenic' BUT: a ketogenic diet is just the most common types of low-carb diet; the catergory of low-carb diet tends to cover

If this diet causes speech issues such as Greger suffers I'll give it a pass...

[@maiqueashworth]

Actually a calorie is just a calorie, and it can take a lot of explaining to a doubter why there's a difference between a calorie of sweet potato and a calorie of pizza. People are jaded and cynical by so much disinformation on nutrition

[@UselessMinx]

You have to catch up on the recent science. They did an experiment with calorie controlled 'healthy' food for two groups, one ultraprocessed and one whole foods. The first gained two pounds, the second lost two pounds on the same number of calories. Coca cola has been spitting feathers recently trying to stem the studies over the past 10 years on ultraprocessed food vs real food

I am carnivore 18 months , after vegetarian 30 years and make sick my body to avoid red meat, now wit meat I don't have any health issues.

[@TheHouseofFruits]

probably you eat less cheese and dairy now !!! 🤡🤡🤡

[@davidr1431]

Some people seem to thrive on plants only, some on meat only. No one seems to thrive on ultra processed food though. Eat what makes you well.

[@k.h.6991]

That's short term. Long term: a healthy plant based diet wins every time. But if you were eating an unhealthy vegetarian diet, sure it's possible that you ran into issues that eating meat solves.

[@RichS.74yroldbodybuilder]

@@davidr1431 eating meat only? You must be on a fairly shortlist? That would be enough Arachidonic acid to give you gout all day. Only real carnivores don’t make arachidonic acid and can eat that kind of diet 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼

[@davidr1431]

@@RichS.74yroldbodybuilder I’m not really eating more meat than I otherwise would, just more fat and fewer carbs.

Why the same comment from two accounts? Correction copied: I dug up the paper, curious about your assertion about being misleading and must correct you.

Copy and paste questions?? Weird. Looks like the meat and dairy industry Trolls strike again. 😂
