I started a diet - no fructose. The week before i started, i was feeling light-headed and foggy. Near the end of that week, i was feeling terrible, like i was fighting some terrible affliction. 2 days before i started my diet, i binged on cinnamon rolls. 10 minutes later, i began sweating profusely and had a terrible headache. I only weighed 230lbs, so i thought 'no way this could be something like diabetes, right??' That night, i couldn't sleep, yet i was so tired. Every breath was hard, and just before falling asleep it was like i was suffocating, and i'd shoot back awake. The next day, i was anxious, lightheaded, worried.. i looked up diabetes videos and stumbled upon Lustig's lectures. This all happened 2 weeks ago. The next day, i stopped eating anything that contained fructose. That day was the best i have felt in 5 years. And every subsequent day since has been better. All i did was cut out fructose, and it was like my body yelled at me in joy. It felt like i was recovering from something traumatic. And today i feel fucking incredible. In the 2 weeks since then, i've lost 10lbs, sleep better, poop better, feel better, everything just seems better. The best part, is that because of these lectures, this isn't even a diet to me. I'm avoiding poison. That's how it seems to me. And it's the easiest life changing decision i've made for myself. Thank you for this lecture! UPDATE: 9 months later. I've lost 40lbs. I've suffered with HS, an inflammatory condition, for years. This diet has put my condition into full remission.

Mike, there is a program in Britain that is based on this and the results have been phenomenal. Classic dieting programs even endorsed by health care professionals have been based on bad science (that Dr. Lustig marks out in this presentation.)

If I cheat, I put on a couple pounds; now I know what to do to repair that. Real food IS better than processed food. Twenty years ago, low-carb was considered dangerous and unscientific. I did it anyway and wouldn't look back. My physician has no complaints about my lipid profile, my blood pressure is normal, and I walk 2+ miles daily (because I like it). When I tried low-carb back then, I actually found that I did less exercise - kept that to walking my dog, my favorite exercise, and did much better. I had been doing elliptical at a gym to no avail.

Japanese people don't eat even quarter the carbs and sugar that Westerners do, and they don't pig out.

Find the talks on You Tube -- Keto diets.

[@bhojjadamotabanda]

There are exactly the same testimonials, similar videos, similar quoting of science by the "high carb low fat" camp. As someone who follows neither, I get amused a lot by reading and watching both sides. Both sides have people who have changed their lives, cured diseases like diabetes, autoimmune syndrome etc and provide robust scientific research to back their claims. I on the other hand don't believe that any diet is the holy grail. I believe that we have to experiment and discover for ourselves what works best for us in the environment we live in. All data and science regarding nutrition is statistical and ok on a population level but as an individual, you don't know what part of the statistic your body falls into. So just experiment and discover what works best for you and what you can follow. But don't consider any diet to be the universal solution as everyone is differnet and respind differently yo different foods.

[@JeffVanRooy]

What research and "loads" of experts? The people selling it? lol please Keto is just another in a long list of fad diets with almost no evidence to support that it's any better than all the other silly fad diets that come and go since it has no magical properties to make the weight loss mechanism any better or worse.

Thank you for what you said about obesity. I am 66 and just went to the doctor for a checkup for the first time in decades. I spend 6 hours a week at the gym and eat almost no sugar or refined carbs but lots of fiber and greens. All my test numbers were beautiful.The doctor told me I was borderline clinically obese, according to the BMI score, but said I looked fine and there was nothing to worry about. The thing is, she asked NOTHING about my diet and was not particularly interested when I tried to talk about it, nor in how someone can be clinically obese (and in their seventh decade of life) and yet healthy. (In my 20s I was a sugar addict and about 100 lbs overweight, but I turned that around by giving up sugar And I feel much better now than I did in my 20s as a sugar addict.) It seems that the medical profession is all about taking tests and then trying to match up the test numbers with prescriptions, not about telling you how to actually be healthy. I think that most people probably depend on their doctors to tell them what to do, and figure if they doctor doesn't tell them about something, it can't be important. It's great that there are resources like this for people to educate themselves, but I think that the trend will not change until doctors start learning about this.

pk eggle you’re correct. That depo shot really messed with my wife after our second child was born. It messed with her eating habits, weight management, sex drive, and mental awareness. A lot of people would say “well that’s just normal hormonal changes after a baby” and normally I would agree but I argue that the depo shot took her well beyond the “normal hormone” change. We’ve had four children and she only received the shot with one of the deliveries and that was the one that was abnormal from the others. The other three she refused to take the shot and she had no issues. It took her many years to get over much of the effects but some still linger. The “powers that be” are feeding us junk from every aspect of our lives and it’s not conducive to a healthy existence and can be argued is killing us.

I first saw Dr. Lustig's videos about five weeks ago. I banished sucrose from my diet and have so far lost about 9 pounds effortlessly with no calorie counting or measuring. I was not a soda drinker or junk food addict, but I was still probably consuming way more sugar than I realized. I found sugar laced in many of the so-called healthy foods I was eating before, such as cereals, snack bars, flavored non-dairy milks, and breads. I still eat whole grain carbs and fruit, along with vegetables, beans, fish, dairy, and eggs. The first thing I noticed was that I was less hungry throughout the day. I also notice an overall increase in energy and improved mental clarity. I was less tired in general and now I actually want to exercise. Before I had to practically kick myself to gym, and exercising only made me hungry.

My wife and I noticed something very interesting about sugar consumption and sleep. Back when we were first dating we didn't take in much soda, later on we started making it a regular thing, after a little while we noticed our ability to stay awake was GREATLY decreased and onset of the desire to sleep came MUCH earlier. We went from normally going to sleep around 12am to barely being able to make it to 8pm. At first we couldn't understand what happened and after some thought we could only find one major factor and that was the amount of sugar we were now consuming. After stopping the sugar, within a week, our sleep pattern went back to normal.

People with a rapid metabolism burn a lot of calories both in and out of the gym, and they may need to eat a lot to stay in shape; the poor lambs. People with a slow-coach metabolism, on the other hand, burn less calories and hence gain weight if they consume too many. What can be done to break the cycle? Make the weight room your best buddy, since gym gains might help you get back on track. Increasing your muscle mass is the most efficient strategy to speed up your metabolism. Muscles require energy to function, and larger muscles burn more calories than smaller muscles. Not only that, but heavy weight training sessions cause the body to burn more calories afterward, a phenomenon known as the ‘afterburn effect.’ So, rather than gaining weight on low-fat dressing, benching 150 pounds in the gym will soon have you torching calories from the luxury of your couch as your muscles painstakingly heal themselves. P.S: See the solution on my ch-an-nel - A newly discovered bizarre tropical fat-dissolving loophole that has NOTHING to do with dieting or exercise... (in fact eating your favorite foods is recommended!).

[@childwaters]

Couldn't be more right! I was fed formula in the 1950s and became a plump baby. Because I was a picky eater and junk wasn't around (and plenty of activity was), I wasn't fat as a kid--but as soon as I hit puberty and food started to look GOOD (that leptin issue Lustig talks about in puberty), I have had a problem ever since. First it was a 10-pound problem; then it became a 40-pound problem. Once your weight goes up your body wants to STAY there. Down at normal weight now, but with 5 miles walking a day I still can't eat over 1000 calories without instant weight gain. PLEASE, parents, stop this before it happens--it's all far worse now when kids are surrounded with junk like an alkie living in a liquor store.
