I Debated Dr. Boz: Two Doctors Face Off on Diet Strategy!

[@michaelgehrke8272]

I like them both but would lean towards the simpler approach of Dr. Westman

[@eclexian]

I think it depends on the patient/person. As a science-oriented person myself (retired engineer), I appreciate as much data as I can get, and Dr. Boz promotes measuring values as a means to directing your practice. But yes, Dr. Westman’s approach is perhaps easier to comply with for folks who don’t really feel like they are helped by knowing the science and taking appropriate measurements, adjusting, re-measuring, etc.

[@mbalingcamu1550]

I agree with you Dr Westman is making things simple and doable

[@theonkuring]

Love all these doctors! Berg, Saladino, Boz, Ekberg, Westman, Fung and the rest. Thank you for improving lives!

[@makakniferolls7189]

Prof Thomas Seyfried. Is very food too

[@dianasthings729]

I agree with Dr. Westman. . Protein stops hunger. What does fat stop? Fat stops sugar cravings. Dr. Atkins said if you crave sugar to eat fat. It always works. Have you noticed when you get a sugar craving its for something fatty like donuts, ice cream, cookies? It's because the body is used to getting fat via sugar. So eating fat say like a piece of hard cheese will stop sugar cravings, If I have enough protein, I don't get hungry

[@sherwinl899]

I keep it simple. Control carbs,(30g or less a day) prioritize protein, and don’t fear the fat which comes with the protein. Raise your heart rate at least 4 days a week. I’m down 45lbs. First time under 200lbs in 15 years.

[@UndertheNeedle282]

Sounds like you've been watching Ben Bikman. I love that guy.

[@serenitygoodwyn]

Thanks both this was a great debate. I think Dr Westman probably nailed it in the first few min, it could be a case of self selection bias. I initially tried keto the way Dr Westman prescribes with a focus on protein, I did ok but found it very difficult to be consistent (although was in measurable ketosis about 90% of the time first thing in the morning) and I never lost more than 7lb in 8 yrs (had plenty of other benefits thought). I then tried what Dr Boz suggested with a focus on fat and found that it was much easier to be consistent, that I feel much better energy wise and lost 7lb in a week while eating twice as much. Does that mean that Dr Boz is better, for me yes, but my husband really doesn't do well high fat, so for him Dr Westman's approach is better. I think we find our way to the person who's approach works best for us.

[@ingridferg9779]

And maybe its a man vs woman factor too. Women maaaay tend to need more fat for hormone balance. Im learning…

Same here. I initially started keto, then went carnivore because plants still didn't like me, having digestive issues. Almost a year now and got stuck twice. Fasting didn't work, more walking didn't work, the only thing that worked was adding more butter. That's so strange... it's the least expected thing that worked. And i'm not the "steak and butter gal" lean and young kind of guy, I was almost double my size when I started this.

[@LeChatsMother]

Excellent conversation. Thank you.

[@andreahaney6753]

I agree with both to a certain degree. Once you’re in ketosis and if you have stored fat there’s no reason to take in lots of extra butter or EVOO. But, you also don’t need to count protein macros if you’re eating enough fatty meat to get satiated. Your hormones will guide your appetite after a few weeks to a month of being in fat burning mode. Extra protein intake can and sure break down to sugar, so if you aren’t eating fatty cuts of meat it’s entirely possible to overeat protein and it’ll break down to sugar through gloconeogenesis and what’s not needed will be stored as fat. Fat, on the other hand, does not break down to sugar. So, if you’re just eating animal protein/fat let your hunger be the guide, ands if you’re not losing weight maybe you need to cut back a little on protein. If you don’t have enough energy and staying hungry eat more fat.

[@karenalas9247]

I have been on Mounjaro for over two years and love it because it stopped all the food noise in my head, but it took over 18 months to start losing weight. I didn’t start losing weight until I consistently kept my glucose in the 70 thru 99 range on the daily. I sometimes go between 100 - 110 but it’s rare. I do this by eating low carb. I’m not hungry and quickly lost over 40 pounds. I’m still wondering if it’s the low glucose levels or the low carbs. I’m not always in ketosis. I’ve been wearing a continuous glucose monitor for over 2 1/2 years and have really studied what affects my glucose level. Now that I have learned (for my body at least) that if I keep glucose between 70 - 99; that I will lose weight. That has been extremely helpful. I feel I have the key to my success. You really can’t keep your glucose level consistently low without going low carb, but as I mentioned I’m not always in ketosis and if I want a piece of cake once or twice a month I eat it and I find it very easy to keep on track.

[@iknithappy]

Amazing, interesting, informative, engaging, enjoyable, and fun. I loved the format of this talk and appreciate both doctors speaking and answering questions to so much information. Thank you both!

[@XaqNautilus]

I definitely agree with Dr. Westman that protein has to come first. It's fairly well agreed upon that people should eat at least in protein 0.7g/lb or 1.5g/kg of lean mass per day. I haven't seen anyone (not saying it isn't out there, just that I haven't seen it) saying that we should aim to consume at least a certain amount of fat per day. For fat all I hear is "eat enough so you are satiated but not so much that you get loose stools." If someone is carrying excess fat on their body they can eat much leaner and use their own fat stores rather than someone who already is lean who needs dietary fat for energy.

I love these discussions. But after fussing with GKI, pricking my fingers to test BG and Ketones and obsessing over macros, it was driving me crazy. I am obsessive by nature And the diet mechanics were driving me into a high stress mode. I now say: I eat no carbs, no processed foods, try to stay off alcohol,( my last hurdle). I prioritise protein. Eat when hungry. Deliberately fast as much as I can. Yes, I have still 20 pounds to lose, but I'm not counting. I lost 40 pounds, the rest needs to go as part of my forever way of life. I'm not on a diet.

As he says in the first few min, self selection bias is at work. For you a focus on protein works best, for many including my husband that is also true. For me (and many others), that didn't work in terms of weightless. I got plenty of other benefits over 8 yrs but not weightless. It's only when I focused on high fat (literally eating 1/2 stick a day) that I started to lose weight and feel like I had a decent amount of energy. Both approaches work, neither works for everyone.

[@Recken1]

@@serenitygoodwyn I'm T1 diabetic and eating too much protein spikes my blood sugar.

[@nataliajimenez1870]

Dr Westman's methods work for the majority of people but for those with severe insulin resistance may need to use Dr Boz methods to increase their ketones and decrease their glucose. I think that both agree that eventually patients can't be eaten a huge amount of fat, but it is extremely useful to do a high fat, moderate protein intermittent fasting diet at the beginning to finally reduce insulin levels. Then fat consumption can be reduced a bit since it becomes easier for the body to get into ketosis. Dr Boz has a lot of data. What another leading doctor in the metabolic space Dr Tro is suggesting that doctors just publish an audit of their patient records to show how effective their interventions are. That's what Dr Unwin in the UK has been doing for years but he was helped by a researcher to help him set up the tables and charts that he needed to use to compile the results

The macro percentages for a ketogenic diet were not just pulled out of a hat. People that are new to this generally learn the ratios early on. 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs. It is a lot of fat. They start loosing weight and become healthier. Some do not go that route and go straight carnivore, not ever learning basics and then begin seeing things like high blood sugar, etc. Do some research. There are plenty to books and information on the subject. Learning and measuring macros at first, IMHO, is important to learn the basics.

[@JYAN2852]

I lean more with Westman on this debate. Protein is priority, especially for metabolically damaged people. We have plenty of body fat to use. No need to stuff our mouth with globs of fat. Chasing ketones is not something we do. It can become an obsession. Ketosis happens naturally drifting in and out of it.

I like both these doctors and my prospective is do the keto plan that works for your body. IMO there is no right and wrong here and both these doctor’s approach will achieve weight loss. My body loves the unlimited protein but doesn’t like too much fat. If I consume too much of even healthy fats, especially in one meal, my stomach gets so upset. Even the smallest amount of MCT oil bothers my stomach. I also start to gain weight so high protein, moderate fats works for my hypothyroidism/menopausal body. Maybe you can use a little of both doctor’s advice to get the right plan for “your” body. God bless both these doctors. They are saving lives everyday! 👍❤️

[@tb54321]

Adequate protein is essential, yes, but I have to be careful how much and how often I eat protein. The only way for me to balance my hormones and my blood sugar (and be in ketosis) is to start my day with fat and end my day with fat. I only eat protein during the afternoon - usually 1 pound or so depending on the day. I eat browned butter bites for breakfast and evening snacks. For lunch, usually a ribeye or lamb chops. If I eat too much protein and eat it too often throughout the day, it causes gluconeogenesis, which spikes my blood sugar and kicks me out of ketosis - and it instigates more food cravings! Focusing on fat for morning and evening and limiting my protein to nothing more than absolute essential amounts (don’t over eat it and don’t eat it all day long), helps keep my diet and hormones and blood sugar under control. That controls my cravings too!

Edit: Clarifying that around 6:35, the more excess body fat you have, the easier it is to get into ketosis (if I’m understanding this correctly). And by the way, I got a blood ketonemeter, which is clearly showing nutritional ketosis (0.6 mmol/L) despite my urine test strip showing nothing. Guess I’m getting fat-adapted! 😊
