From Skeptic to Believer: How Low Carb Changed My Life! Dr. Quentin Schultze Shares His Story

[@mbzd1]

I like the way you communicate Dr Westman. the fact that you're speaking to your audience in a natural way, even with the um's and ah's, and not trying to put out a super-polished sales pitch production, adds to your sincerity and believability

[@1timbarrett]

I agree. The slightly hesitant sounds are soothing…!😮

[@AndreaSwiedler]

I can't say enough about Dr. Westman. I had to laugh as my doc checked my cholesterol levels, they were high. I spent a day getting all the research together for him, charts, graphs, videos, I was prepared. He wasn't upset in the least, he said the only number he was concerned with were my ratios and they are perfect. All I could do was laugh. 😂 Dr. Westman, thank you for all you do. ❤

[@mikeb6431]

I met Dr. Westman recently and he’s the real deal! If only all doctors would take the time to really understand that carbs of any kind are the root of most health problems. Thank you Dr. Westman for a very informative visit.

[@mariehughey5390]

End Your Carb Confusion arrives today. In the last year I’ve read, Carnivore Code, Outlive, Metobolical, Why We Get Sick, Mind Over Medicine and feel I’ve gotten a real education on nutrition and the state of our world’s health or lack there of. Thanks to Drs like Westman.

[@joanhendrix5967]

I've read many of the same books. End Your Carb Confusion was outstanding and probably the last book I'll need on the subject. ❤

[@joefw2446]

I've been low carb and low sugar for 2.5 years and love it! No cravings. No hunger. It's wonderful.

[@scottpierce9195]

Thank you so much Dr Westman. Cutting out carbs has changed my life, ended my mental confusion, cured my arthritis, improved my VO2 max, and given me visible abs at the tender age of 54 ☺️

[@jimrutherford2773]

That's great. How did you improve your VO2 max on diet alone without increasing exercise like HIIT training?

[@scottpierce9195]

@jimrutherford2773 To be honest, I started feeling so good after cutting out carbs, I started working out. I walk a lot, but I think most of the VO2 max improvement came from doing 20 minutes of kettlebell swings 3 days a week. I do intervals of 20 seconds on, 40 seconds off. It's a great way to get your heart pumping. My theoretical max heart rate at my age is 166 bpm (220 minus your age). I routinely get my heart rate up up to 175 bpm or so while doing these according to my heart rate monitor.

[@jimrutherford2773]

@@scottpierce9195 keep it up. I'm 59 and mountain biking like a maniac, doing a few races here and there. I'm at about 20 to 30 grams of carbs a day and haven't felt this good since my early 20s. Now I understand why big pharma big food and our medical system doesn't want this information to be widespread. If everyone felt the way we do it would put them out of business.

[@cc2020-d4w]

Thoroughly enjoyed this. Please don't ever stop doing what you've been doing for us here on KZbin, Dr. Westman. Truly APPRECIATE YOU

[@1timbarrett]

Dr Westman, you are a gentleman! I love it that you refrain from “bashing” other doctors. ❤❤❤❤❤

[@Isabelle574-88]

The excellent critics videos were the reason why I subscibed to the channel, but in fact all Dr Westman videos are excellent !! 😃😃👍👏

[@cassieoz1702]

My medical training (in 1970s) had a LOT of communication training. We didnt have specific 'nutrition' training, it was all in Physiology and Biochemistry, but then we didnt have the epidemic of metabolic disease and 'adult onset diabetes' was pretty rare.

thank you. Enjoyed the conversation.

[@MsLeenite]

Thank you, Dr Westman. Good luck with the new book, Dr Schultze.

[@deborahthaler35]

That was an excellent video!

[@cassieoz1702]

You are very fortunate you were referred to such an enlightened nutritionist

[@motherof1doll.]

YES! The referee videos are so fabulous because I watch videos that disagree with what we used to heal my kiddo and the rest of my family now over the years after learning from the kiddo’s healing but every time I watch the videos it helps to be reminded THOSE studies are based on high carb metabolism.

[@lisashaw8]

My total cholesterol and LDL both went up, I think with the cheese maybe. My HDL went down from 79 to 75 but of significance was my triglycerides went from 189 to 90. I’m assuming the trig/hdl is the most important #s?

[@robyn3349]

Thank you!

Just looking out for you with your low carb/fiber diet....."Effect of gut microbiome modulation on muscle function and cognition: the PROMOTe randomised controlled trial"

[@patcomly180]

I can't forget the visual image of a boy (9 years old, I think) who succumbed to COVID during the pandemic. The TV news reported that he had no other risk factors, but he was quite over-weight which I associated with a high carb diet, chronic inflammation, elevated insulin, likely fatty liver, possibly low in vitamin D, insulin resistant, elevated blood pressure. . . .no risk factors? I think not. So very sad and probably/possibly could have survived the infection with a healthy immune system.

[@1timbarrett]

Every time I see an overweight kid, I cry. 😢

[@michaeldillon3113]

Dr Schultze's wife got lucky . Many dietitians/ nutritionists would say ' fatty liver - cut out fat ' .

[@joanhendrix5967]

This is a great video and an important topic. I would love to see a video that discusses more thoroughly the 68 year old patient who believed that by controlling her weight and eating a mostly healthy diet, she would avoid the T2 Diabetes that plagued her mother. Yet, at 67, her A1c was 6.1 and her FBG had been hovering around 98 for several years. ⌛️📈🧬🎲 💣

[@jupeter24]

another doctor you could have on your podcast is Dr. Rick Goding, he started a youtube channel and goes by Dr. Rick. He's an orthopaedic surgeon who has been on carnivore for five months.

[@fredsmit3481]

I was a skeptic on the delusional keto approach. I was on a real Keto diet verified by measuring my ketones. I enjoyed the Reality keto lifestyle. From Dr. Westman, I learned the power of delusion - that Keto can be made simple by not measuring my ketones and to stop caring if I was really in ketosis. He taught me that I can still call my diet keto without being in ketosis. That made a great simplification to my lifestyle. Instead of being on a real keto diet, I just assume ketosis and delude myself that I’m in ketosis. It is so much easier and fun. The power of delusion greatly simplified my keto lifestyle. I wonder if I can apply my delusion lesson to other parts of my life for more simplification.

[@aurapopescu1875]

Measuring ketones is the way to go. Dr. Westman's approach may work for people who have a ton of weight to lose and will lose it anyway if they cut out carbs, whether they are in ketosis or not. But for those of us with health issues, measuring blood glucose and ketones several times a day is extremely important.

[@bonnieschmidt5882]

Yeah, ha ha, I get so tired of people who say they tried a ketogenic diet and it didn’t work for them. My question: Did you ever measure your ketones? The answer is always No from those who claim a ketogenic diet didn’t work.

[@paulcallicoat7597]

@@bonnieschmidt5882 Dr.Westman always ask them if they were eating those keto snacks. I have asked those claimants of it not working the same question. Yes and they were so sweet and good but then I got really hangry was the answer.lol

[@willkey6323]

And down to earth

[@anewme5140]

Hello Dr.Westman, could you please make a video about what is allowed to eat and what is not allowed to eat on the dirty lazy keto and give a meal plan example for 2 weeks and some recepies? Could you please tell me for how many days can you eat sweets or starches/potatoes/pasta/rice/pizza so that you are still in ketosis and not cast out if it? Thank you.

[@missygee6155]

Whey protein processes in the body just like carbs. Also, those protein shakes at Costco usually contain maltodexterin which is worse than sugar and has a higher glycemic rating and a greater insulin response in most people. The shakes also contain harmful seed oils like soybean, canola and vegetable oil, which can be worse than sugar and carbs.

[@jenniferolg]

Which ones? The ones I have been using to make Ninja Creami confections have a lot of ingredients but only 3 total carbs.

[@suziesmith2142]

The first time, years ago, that I found out what the GI of Maltodextrin is, I was SO ANGRY at the lying food manufacturers. "Sugar free"!, they said. Horrible betrayal. I know who is severely handicapped and VERY diabetic who picked up a bag of "STEVIA BLEND" sweetener and I about flipped when I saw Maltodextrin in the ingredient list 😖 The GI of sugar is about 65 but Maltodextrin is somewhere between 150 & 180 🤬

Never heard the bacon in coffe before. Whatever works for you. I used to put MCT oil in my coffee. It makes it silky smooth.

They say food pyramid and my response is: yes, you can live very well eating Captain Crunch for breakfast, lunch, and dinner! Do you do that every day?

[@steadfast20-4-26]

[@honorburza9110]

“Stories” can go beyond personal testimonials, you can tell the story of a study.

[@cassieoz1702]

Interesting. I've never had to defend my low carb (actually ketovore) way of eating. Most folks just nod and say "OK", or perhaps "that didn't work for me" (oh dear, i really dont care) or ask for more details if they're interested

[@TheYangnyin]

Family members that calculate their insulin dose based on the amount of sugar they've eaten STILL don't get that if they stop eating that, then they don't need the shot. I have been talking to deaf ears.

[@MellisaE]

Has anyone in this group been diagnosed with LADA following keto or carnivore? Is it helping? My hubs was diagnosed with LaDa and MS

[@peterbeyer5755]

Compare the graph of seed oil consumption to obesity.

[@Ranch-girl]

I love low carb; HOWEVER, I still have to eat the exact SAME amount of calories whether following keto, carnivore, low carb or just eating normal, every day healthy food. Am I the only one?

[@piusefobi3951]

Whenever I see Dr. Westman's face on KZbin, I expect to get to the point within seconds of clicking on. This is instance the exception to prove the rule.

[@tourdelance3698]

I use 100% eggs 🥚 whites protein powder by NOW with no carbs or additives for breakfast 30mg of protein! Followed by two regular meals!!!! Is this ok Thanks

[@sigawof]

Why not use actual eggs? Whole foods are always better than highly-processed, and egg yolks contain vitamins and fats you don't want to miss out on.

[@SuperRomanHoliday]

He's certainly a communicator, he won't shut up!

[@christinelamb1167]

Well, Dr. Westman is interviewing him. Usually when someone is being interviewed, they do the majority of the talking, because they are being asked questions to be expounded on. What's your point?

[@karynstouffer3562]

I've been "almost keto" for a year. Just had my lipids tested last week: total cholesterol - 110, HDL - 39, LDL - 58, triglycerides - 44. I think I'm doing okay.🤔 Edited to correct values after re-checking. Yeah, my HDL is low, but now that it's cooling off, here in AZ, I can do more outside which will help.

[@DocSiders]

Why are Protein Calories listed on the "Nutrition Facts" Labels? Proteins are NOT burned for their calories unless you're STARVING....AND... all of your Fat Stores are used up. Proteins are "Construction Materials"... not regular fuel. This is KEY when "going Carnivore". If you cut out 1500 calories of Carb Calories (375 grams).... you need to Add 1500 Calories (165 grams - about 6 oz) worth of Fats to replace them.

[@josephburns-zd2kr]

In all reality, we all evolved as apex predators. What's that tell you? It wasn't refined foods and only fruits and vegetables when/or even if they were available in areas that we lived at the time.
