I am 56, and never had problems with my weight. I just started watching your videos a few weeks ago and WOW, you're an answer to my prayers. I was on the outskirts of insulin resistance and was having a hard time losing 10 lbs, plus I have been dealing with hypoglycemia. I began to put the diet in place and reduced fat (where I was instructed to increase fat for my hypoglycemia). I also added back a few healthy grains and I have already lost 3.5 lbs and my blood sugar is getting more stable. The Carb Manger App is incredible! I was using a different one, but this one is amazing! Thank you for taking the time to give the RIGHT information to bring healing. I pray the Lord Jesus bless you immensely!

Net carbs for me did not get rid of type 2 diabetes...i had to count total carbs snd down to 10g or less a day. Zero fruit, zero sigar (even substitute sugars) , zero grains, potatoes etc. A1c was 9.5 two yrs ago, now between 4.9-5.2 . But ...even one breaddstick will still spike my bg.

[@drmorgannolte]

Thanks for sharing your story! Some people who are very insulin resistant to need very low carbs. That's great you were able to reverse your diabetes and keep your A1c down.

[@Tanuj-bk8gy]

what tyepes of food did you eat then?

[@marianne1959]

@@Tanuj-bk8gy lots of fatty red meat, butter, eggs bacon, seafood with very very small portion of brussel sprouts, broccoli or asparagus.

Yeah, every pt is different. You did a wonderful job figuring it out. You’re a rockstar!

[@PaddyVieira4]

Going low carb is like your car engine being intermittently faulty and deciding not to drive it to mitigate it. Id argue your problem is not carbs Its metabolic damage that makes carbs hard to assimilate for you. It doesn't make them inherently bad for you. Your body/cells needs restraining how to assimilate them if you've come from the SAD. A good start is lowering fat that coats the blood and raises cholesterol. High cholesterol which is a barometer for arterial narrowing.

[@johncurrie3900]

At 70, I answered "yes" to 8 items from Dr Bikman's list! As a type two diabetic for over twenty years, nine months ago I started gradually reducing carbs and corresponding insulin therapy. I have lost 10% of body mass and cut out insulin shots completely. Also just started wearing a CGM to better understand the impact of different foods and activities. After just one month my glucose levels are now over 90% "in range" (4.5 - 9.0 mmol/l or 81 - 162 in US speak). I also walk at least 10km per day in the lovely South African sunshine! Next step is to start reducing oral medication. Thank you for keeping me informed. What is often not mentioned is that my mental health has also improved.

[@kayoxford7442]

I do under 20, often 10 plus intermittent fasting. My Trigl/HDL is .86 so I'd say mine is well controlled but I constantly work at it, have been at this four years now. My BMI is under 23, I have excess skin (in my 70s) from losing 75 pounds but not excess fat.

[@redneckinthebardo]

I have insulin resistance/pre-diabetes, I'm also very active and only 5-10 lbs overweight, and I found if I reduce my net carbs below 100-150 I immediately have insomnia. So, I switched to eating about 200 g net carbs and doing daily intermittent fasting, currently at 14 fasting 10 eating hours and working up to 16-8 with fasting through the morning hours, and my sleep improved right away. We'll see what this approach does to my BS and insulin values, but sleeping is non-negotiable, and it feels like I'm able to keep my stress and cortisol levels in check with this approach.

[@taffyalusa4642]

I think this is what's happening to me, I wake up around 3am and can't go back. A1c is affected by sleep. Maybe I need to introduce more carbs?

[@natigreenberg9388]

Thanks for video! It's really important to tell people they can reverse type 2 diabetes by eating low carb diet. My a1c was 14.5 when I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and it went to 5.1 after only 4 months of eating low carb and doing intermittent fasting, and I could stop taking my medications.

[@marianne1959]

Good for you....took me almost a full ye to bring down from 9.5 to 5.3. with only 10g or less of carbs a day. Just want others to know even if someone gives only a few months...it could take much longer.

[@palerider7924]

4 months is only one cycle of the blood cells hard to believe that's possible 14.5 to 5.1 even if all you eat is lettuce. Did a lab do both tests?

[@LurkerSmurf]

I'm new to the low-carb lifestyle, after getting an A1C result of 5.8 two months ago. I've slashed my glucose/carb intake in half, so fingers crossed. My real question is how to stop losing weight, as I was on the thin side when I started and am borderline underweight now. I'm eating more, but it's the right kinds of foods.

[@drmorgannolte]

That's really the best way to prevent the weight loss on low-carb. Try to eat at least 3 solid meals/day with at least 30-40 grams of protein at each meal. Fill in with fiber/healthy fat as needed to reach your calorie goals. Often people underestimate how much it takes to really gain weight. I'd suggest getting set-up on Carb Manager to calculate your calorie/macros needs. We offer free set-up videos at www.zivli.com/macros.

[@kayoxford7442]

I do two meals/day with intermittent fasting 20 hours/day, we suggest not eating within three hours of your bedtime.

HUGE Question?: I have noticed the second meal effect. If you don’t use carbs in your meals your body has much larger spikes after fasting if you do add even a small amount of carbs in a meal …. Like: one meal no carbs, next meal no carbs, next meal no carbs, next meal slight carb…. High spike!….. If you however eat a meal with a small amount of carbs, then eat a meal with small amount of carb and the next meal with small amount of carbs…… less of a severe spike on the second and third meal. Is it then true that low carb meals will lead to worsening insulin resistance? What about the new research coming out that suggests that if going low carb, there may be more insulin resistance? Please clarify this topic.

[@shaunkong62]

Dr.Morgan Nolte, Thanks for this reminder to cut carbohydrates so that I will be less Insulin resistant. I try to eat the occasional orange and a few lumps of vegetables for that much needed fiber but the most satisfying part of my diet is eating lots of chicken, beef and fish. When I get too lazy for my OMAD, there is always a single can of Sardines which is too filling for me. I try to eat around 10Am or 4 pm. But usually miss my breakfast if I am too lazy..That is why I am mainly OMAD, either mornings or afternoons. October is my big day for a further checkup. I hope to reduce my weight to 70 kg..Now 85 kg. BMI=28. I will strive to be as skinny as a rake. 😢 I will strive to lower my cholesterol through weight loss..

I don't believe your source just cause you say he s a doctor. What I do believe is that your hdl and cholesterol/ triglycerides can go down by diet change or going from 50 min. Exercise weekly to around 200- 220 moderate exercise weekly. Has anyone on ANTICOAGULANTS ever tried a low carb / keto diet? Restrictio. Is nice but if it messes up your health ....

[@Melanie-gu4cl]

Hi Dr. Nolte. I have Type 2 Diabetes & I'm "underweight" . I'm currently taking Metformin (Hydrochloride) 1000MG 2X daily. Any advice & suggestion is greatly appreciated.

[@davepitzoSWM]

I am 70 now. I started Keto 1.5 years ago and dropped from 325 pounds to 240 in 1 year. 85 pounds yes. I need to down 20 more pounds but hit a brick wall which I now identify as IR. The liver shut off the ketosis. Now I am struggling to get back to ketosis. It’s like my body quit. So I am shuffling around to see what was working but Is not anymore.

[@garykline4800]

Dr. Boz on youtube talks a lot about getting past blockages in keto diet. Look her up.

[@rickhood]

If fasting glucose and fasting insulin levels are normal, does that necessarily mean I do not have insulin resistance?

[@cornstar1253]

How about zero.?

[@wandayonder9772]

A lot of beneficial nutritious foods have small amounts of carbohydrate in them. The low amount of carb does no harm so there is no point excluding those nutritious foods.

[@marianne1959]

I have to keep mine almost zero ...eat mostly meat, fish and healthy fats to keep glucose stable. 2 yrs ago A1c was 9.5 , now between 4.9-5.3. a bite of bread will spike my glucose to over 160 . My glucometer tells me exactly what foods I can and cannot eat.

[@drmorgannolte]

Yes, fiber is a carb. I cover fiber in several other videos and we suggest women get at least 25 grams of fiber/day and men at least 35.

[@drmorgannolte]

Agreed.

[@drmorgannolte]

Some may need to keep their carbs very low due to severe insulin resistance. For others, this would not be sustainable.

[@Zykosis]

How do you get fiber with no carb or low carb?

[@jonthomas9708]

My understanding is that fiber is indigestible carbs - found in above ground vegetables; leafy greens. So indigestible carbs can be discounted as they never make it from your gut into your bloodstream. Inulin is another indigestible carb. This is in bananas and plantains, but the bananas will also deliver glucose and (the worst) fructose into your blood. I tried an inulin supplement; it didn't suit me at all. A very small amount in a lot of water might be harmless

[@Alan_Clark]

Wheat bran has 43g of fibre per 100g, but only 22g of net carbs. 50g of bran will give you ample fibre when combined with other sources, for very few carbs.

[@cyberghost4043]

I have PKD the doctor recomended only 40g of protein and 50 to 60 percent from carbs

[@madbrad5596]

Hi just being diagnosed with type 2. Am 5.11foot and weight around 10 stone and very active due to my job. Being new am ngl am scared of doing bad diet but the thing is ive cut out carbs (keto diet) but i need energy. In fact i might even need to gain a little weight. Am literally on the border of type 2, no meds or insulin. Anyone get any ideas on how many carbs i can eat.I no eating high fiber food can help slow down the sugar levels. I have no symptoms just high blood sugar that hover around the 7.3 mark.

[@SilviaWolf-u1x]

What if you're thin and have low bmi? I would like to gain some kilos but at the same time, I think I may be insulin resistant and I want to optimize my fertility (in early 40s and trying to conceive for a few years). But I'm afraid that if I lower my carbs, I will lose weight. So how to eat low carb but not lose weight (rather, even gain some weight).

[@LauraB.335]

Dr. Bikman suggests total, not net, carbs.

[@Catlady12341]

How long can it take someone to reverse IR???? I know everyone is different but no one ever gives any sort of timeframe….. my last fasting insulin was 17….ugh…and I thought I was doing good…👎 I won’t give up!

[@hamishmcgregor4954]

My last one was 22

[@hamishmcgregor4954]

Endocrinologist didn't even care

[@mamaosuna538]

Dr Nally says it can take 18-24 months to totally reverse it

[@LauraB.335]

IR has often been in place for years, or even decades, before people realize it’s a problem with consistently high glucose or some other issue, so it can take a while to reverse. But, it also depends on what you do: how few carbs you eat, how often you eat, how often and how long do you fast, do you get good sleep, do you exercise, how stressed are you, etc.

[@stigsrnning6459]

Carbs never cause insulin resistance or diabetes 2. Only seed oils, lecithine, margarine and hydrogenated oils (like in energy bars, biscuits...) cause insulin resistance. If you already have resistance, then you will be worse of health eating too much carbs. Then you must avoid easily digested carbs and gradually start eating only a few pieces of dried fruit, grain, nuts... daily before you can have higher doses and later carb containg drinks at the start of a protein rich meal with animal fat to get drowsy not long before bedtime. Only carbs in the morning to really wake you up if you go out for walks, running...
