I wish I learned this sooner: Mixing Fats + Carbs

Is it bad to combine fats and carbs together and will you gain weight having both carbs and fats in the same meal?

I should have mentioned that if eating carbs by themselves it can spike blood sugars higher than if you do combine them with fat. Add fats to carbs to should blunt the blood sugar response 😄

[@AmenaandElias]

Are you saying that it’s good to combine fats with carbs to help lower the blood sugar response (vs carbs alone)? Because that’s what I always thought and did lol

[@LolaSteininger]

@@AmenaandEliasYes, combining carbs with fats, protein, and fiber will definitely lower the blood sugar spike!

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

@@AmenaandElias the height and duration of the glucose spike is very individual. For most people, then get a glucose spike during exercise, weight lifting and even sexual relations. Some people get a glucose spike with too much beef protein at one time. All very individualized. Plus, some do great with fiber and others don't. Depends on your health and medical conditions. No one answer for everyone.

[@Cream_CurdlR]

what i have found out is , it is not the sugar it self but the sugar and carbs mixed with proteins and fats.. i had same issue years back and i went all fruit and carbs and i cut out the fats and proteins . great results . a few years later i was eating normal again and flare ups returned so it was winter time and i didn't have access to good fruits so i went carnivore. or keto. low carb veggies like broccoli and others all the fat and butter i wanted but didn't eat breads pasta potatoes . or carbs or sugar. gone , even in coffee i used stevia. i later found out that my body couldnt handle all the fats and sugar in the blood stream. this is also why diabetics can go off meds when eating a stricked fruit and carb lifestyle. they also can do the same if they give up carbs and fruits and go all fats and proteins life style. like steak seafood all the fat that comes on the steak . eat it too. ,, if you ever wanna try either diets out just try it. i do both. summer time when fruit is good i go high carb vegan. winter i go carnivore .. cheers! ps when switching over you have to give it time to work. let me know how it goes for you. oh and yes if i get in the sun that works also. cheers again :D so it kinda all goes back to eat what is in season. then you get all the nutrients you need , i think carnivore is great for healing but to do it only forever you would miss out on other nutrients in ripe fruits and veggies. cheers!

[@darkfieldcarnivore3928]

Lillie, you should know better! While mixing these does reduce the spike of glucose, it extends the time that insulin is elevated. Which is the cause of most issues, NOT the glucose.

A few days ago - before watching this video - I decided to try adding back in some carbs and I do feel better. This is great info. I hope you write a book someday. The world needs it. Many years ago I figured out that carbs made me feel bad unless mixed with fat. Frustratingly, no one seemed to understand or believe me...

[@glennbishopbishthemagish]

In my opinion, Charles Poloquin was right, when he said, winning the war against fat is winning the war against insulin. Vince Gironda said, the human body will only use fat as fuel in the absence of carbohydrates, which is why his steak and eggs diet was discovered and used since the 60's (in bodybuilding). And if I may add, when eating fat and carbohydrates, science has proved that it will spike blood sugar, and insulin, and will put the human body into fat storage mode. As the insulin works to lower the blood glucose/sugar. If this continues, (sometimes over years) this could trigger the Randel cycle! I look at it this way, eating plants is non-essential. Also, science has proven that all plants contain toxic chemicals that plants use to defend themselves. 🥩🥚🥓🍗🍖🧀🍶

[@christopherthompson3313]

I'm not familiar with Charles Poloquin, so I can't comment on that statement. However, I agree completely with everything else you mentioned. I'm a huge Vince Gironda fan, BTW.

As someone who chronically under eats and can’t get more than 900 calories on average the only way for me to eat more is combining fat with carbs. Sweet potato smothered in butter is my go to a few times a week. But I guess most people don’t fall into the category of under eating. 😅

[@lisastraub1986]

I also under eat. I can only eat so much meat and fat. And struggle to get good energy

[@mom2artists]

My son joined me on a carnivore diet. He had never calorie-restricted in his life and lost 30 lbs in a month. Now he's a stick and struggles to eat enough.... he's not completely unhappy with this since he was a chunk for 15 years of his childhood. Hey, I get it, if I'd been in the same boat... Anyway, I'm the opposite of him in that I am in my 50s and dieted my whole life, my metabolism is bad, and I have low muscle mass. I was trying to eat high-fat carnivore and my weight loss was really slow (and I probably put on some muscle bc I lost inches more than lbs.) BUT now I've switched to a lower fat (not LOW fat) carnivore diet relying more on chicken and not so much on steak+butter, and my weight is finally moving in the right direction. If anyone is reading this in the same boat, look at Maria Emmerich's site or anyone on PSMF "protein sparing modified fasting" which is switching up your calorie intake a few days a week, and not reducing your protein while you play around with the fat macro (some days eating a bunch and some days cutting back) I still have about 40 lbs to lose (it may not seem like a lot but my proper weight is about 100, so being this much overweight, I look like an oopma-loompa)

Thank you so much Lillie - finally some answers in this topic! One big question that I cannot find answered anywhere: Our liver is metabolizing both the fat and sugar we eat to provide energy to our cells. There are ZERO CARB diets, improving general (liver) health and there are ZERO FAT diets, improving (liver) health as well (e.g., Anthony Williams). In several books I have now read, that the combination of FAT and CARB in one meal is taking a great toll on our liver, because now our blood is full of glucose AND fat and our liver always tries to get rid of glucose in our blood stream ASAP, but if there is fat blocking this process, more insulin is released because the body thinks, this will solve the issue.. I would love to get some insight on how this actually works in real life and if then combining those two is any good, independently of someone trying to gain, lose or heal. Thank you very much ♥

[@williamwolfe5146]

Your body is still wanting nutrients... Gotta feed it and over feed it until it wants/desires less... Which in the mean time can lead to weight gain... Then, you'll become less hungry and more in tune to body's needs... I have not taken this step yet fully... I don't get hungry until I start eating... Then I'm like a bottomless pit... Bella the steak and butter gal said her initial priming because of nutrient difficiency and the amount of healing took 6 months in this stage and she gained like 25 pounds at first until her body healed and then corrected itself

[@violetd3487]

That's why I'm thinking of having cheat days when I will eat the carbs that I happen to crave for. I'm 95% carnivore. Dancing was my exercise and I find that I no longer have the strength to do 30 minutes of sustained movement. If I push for 30 minutes, I feel tired and worn out after instead of feeling energized. For the carnivore diet, weight training is recommended. That's why we see people on carnivore who have such great physiques. But the diet seems to fall short when it comes to prolonged sustained movement. I'm thinking of having cheat days maybe once a month, twice a month, or maybe once a week. I'm still navigating my way through.

[@DrAJ_LatinAmerica]

Right, all the natural drug tested bodybuilders and fitness models that i know personally, all eat close to a 30P / 20 to 25F/ 45 to 50C. During a cut, the fat drops to 15% so a 30P/15F/ 55C and total volume reduced. The really serious guys will even up the protein to 45%. True, no one size fits all. Depends on many factors. We are all very similar but broken in different ways. Not everyone has two kidneys, not everyone has a fully functioning liver or pancreas, millions with type 1 diabetes, millions on dialysis, others with cancer and autoimmune issues. Many factors involved. Billions of people living in locations were it is extremely difficult or expensive to obtain meat. Goal must be to help everyone on a global scale as well as individualize diets for the middle class and rich who are overindulging.

One Food: Milk. The greatest of all foods. The problem with the "Carbs aren't essential" argument is that the body will break protein down into sugars, thus THERE IS A NEED for Sugar. Instead of getting `sugar externally, the body has to WASTE ENERGY to produce it internally. Also, people don't realize it, but SEARING YOUR MEAT produces Sugars. "Caramelization" and the Mallard Reaction. I read an article on "AmazingRibs" a` long time ago, but couldn't find the article again, that after `these reactions occur, sugar content increases up to 8x. What do you think the sear on the meat is? Why do you think it tastes so good?` We are degrading proteins and creating sugar. It's the same as our body doing it internally, but different.

[@MOAB-UT]

Interesting. I was aware of the Mallard Reaction. I read Metabolical- Lustig. He also talks about burned meat as full of AGE's. Glycation is bad- cancer causing. Gluconeogenesis is not a problem. For centuries, animals did not eat exogenous carbs. Carbs cause many, by far more health issues. Milk is for baby cows- not humans. Inflammatory Lectin proteins for one.

[@ZackRamsey14]

​@@MOAB-UT Carbs cause more health issues than gluconeogenesis?? Please for the love of god, do some reading. 99.9% of the literature says the complete opposite. Gluconeogenesis is upregulated in virtually every chronic disease we know

[@MichaelHplus]

Thank you for saying this because I’ve always wondered why people worship the sear on a steak or their sweet bacon while bad-mouthing carbs. Not to mention that if they were eating a fresh kill (because carnivores love to imagine our ancestors were constantly hunting ate nothing but meat), it would tend to sugars from muscle glycogen, which isn’t the case for meat that sits out.

[@eyes4seeingu]

“The problem with the ‘Carbs aren’t essential’ argument is that the body will break protein down into sugars….you explained precisely why carbs are not essential because the body can manufacture it if it needs it. “Waste energy”? what an odd way to phrase a normal body function like breathing or something as wasting energy. The definition of essential nutrient involves a substance our body cannot live without and cannot make. carbs fails both criteria.

As with other animals, we will evolve with our diets. Just because our ancestors ate one way, doesn't mean we have to. It may be optimal to follow in their footsteps, but ultimately what we eat is our own choice. In the far future, there may be branches of humanity with separate herbivores, carnivores, and omnivores carving their own niches on the planet.

Hi Lily! Just fyi you stated in one of your videos that your blood sugar was low at 70. I am an old nurse 50 was the minimum but because of all the carbs and having to give so much insulin. They increase it to 70. Even 45 was okay as long as you’re not symptomatic. Thought I would let you know!

[@fonpol4925]

Thanks for sharing this info

[@barrellrecord2459]

I personally think that the micronutrient in fruit and potatoes make them worth eating. I think eating both fats and carbs are great assuming total calories are accounted for

[@custardyboi6951]

Liver has the other nutrients not found in steak

[@LillieKane]

Absolutely! A liver has carbs :)

[@christinelikeschrysanthemums]

My friends brought me a pound of ground beef with a “boost”. The beef has liver ground into it, quite delicious :) 👍🏻

[@markos9751]

What about Advanced Glycation End products, by combining proteins/fats with carbohydrates? Thoughts?

[@pamelawalker8052]

I find carnivore gives me ongoing energy. The minute I eat anything that isnt low carb I want to go to sleep. We are are different, I started with carnivore and introduced low carb vegetables one at a time. For me they work the best. A potato or any other root vegetable I eat in low quantities in the winter when its cold

[@brittney3156]

I'm trying to figure this out so hard. I had multiple awful illnesses including histamine intolerance, mold poisoning, and viral illnesses. But the more carbs I add, the less I feel like myself. Not sure what the answer is anymore for me.

[@IaneHowe]

You only need one sorce of energy either fat or carb. Pick one. Mixing both end up raising your triglycerides which is way mkre responsible for heart and plaque issues than cholesterol. As someone that has hypothyroidism carb is essential to keep my thyroid gland functioning. But all I need is do carb cycles and eat carb twice a week to maintain it.

I have Pre-Diabetes and am currently working on trying to eat an 80% general whole food (meaning minimal ultra-processed/junk food and added sugars) most days. It’s still very much a work in progress. I think both plant and animal foods have pros and cons. They both can be dangerous in excess or pose risks (both can become contaminated for example) and they both have nutritional benefits. I think a balance is needed. And likewise, I don’t want to give up all my favorite unhealthy foods completely so still want to be able to indulge here and there. My HA1C sometimes goes into the upper normal and then other times crosses into Pre-Diabetes. I’m also trying to lose weight again and need to try to be able to keep it off this time. I’m also working on trying to exercise more consistently again. I do need to work on having more self compassion and not beating myself up so much on days or even weeks when I get too far off-track. I have to remember that progress isn’t linear and steps backward isn’t the end of the world. Also, I’m learning that even if I get off-track more than I’d like, I might not be starting back from square one. Such as with jogging. Last summer I did a couch to 5K program with a goal of running a race (I ran a 4 mile race on Thanksgiving). I took some months off during winter and just starter back up a few weeks ago. Luckily I’m not back at the very beginning as I was able to jog for sets of five minutes, totaling twenty minutes of jogging. Last week I was able to do sets of 8-10 minutes. When I started last summer, I could barely jog for a minute at a time (outside/going forward…I could jog in place for 20-30 minutes okay, to the Wii Fit game).

Oh my goodness it's so delicious to have butter with french fries but I need to stop doing that because I was getting addicted to this

[@Pablito5614]

Can you teach us about your foot health, u seem to know about how each body part can stay healthy. Love ur videos

[@MOAB-UT]

Good info. A few things I would like to point out- A. No Potatoes. Too many Oxalates. B. The real reason why you NEVER want to mix too many Carbs when you eat higher Fat (like KETO), is *The Randle Cycle* and it is dangerous. When the cell is full e.g., FAT, then you eat carbs (sugar), that sugar will be locked out and do bad things in the blood vessel. Or if you eat Sugar and the cell if full, again, the door locks, then the FATS are now locked out and can clog arteries. I eat KETO with some, but low carbs. BART KAY insists that humans need ZERO Exogenous Carbs. It is a really important video about The Randle Cycle, here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5K6YqFmfaacaNksi=V28n0eadBzScT3dO&t=1 Also, a great book everyone should read is TOXIC SUPERFOODS- Sally Norton. She is an expert on the topic of harmful OXALATES. I don't eat Almonds, Soy, Rhubarb, Potatoes, Spinach, etc. They contain compounds that bind to calcium and harm health. One issue is they make Kidney Stones.

[@GingerKral]

Good share. Thank you

[@marcysmith2851]

Thank you so much for the link! I’m going there right away. I’ve been carnivore for 16 months and just a couple of weeks ago decided I wanted to enjoy some potatoes. I cook them ahead of time and then warm them up from cold. But I’m looking forward to hearing what Bart Kay has to say.

[@MOAB-UT]

@@marcysmith2851 You are welcome. Pay close attention to the charts Bart uses around 12 sec. in. Do not feel dumb. I am smart and watched about 10 times for the technical info. to sink into my thick skull. Now, it's easy to grasp. Very important- 2 things. 1. Watch this video. She highlights what nutrients a Carnivore will need to supplement. 3:50 Make very sure yoiu ADD foods that get you that. Otherwise, some key supplements. 2. NO POTATOES. High in Oxalates. You really must start following SALLY NORTON. Listen to her Audible Book- TOXIC SUPERFOODS. Things like Spinach, Potatoes, Soy, Rhubarb, Almonds can cause STONES and other issues. I lost a Gallbladder (STONES.) I had no idea. Now I don't digest as well- it has bile. Learn from me. She is awesome- watch her KZbin channel vids. Start here. kzbin.info/www/bejne/o3aTnH2Gp6ylbqMsi=ApzueNmrQHISyYzu

[@foxedrey622]

Excellent references and comments! Bart is always expounding the Randle Cycle! Along with Sally's work, there is no need to eat plant based foods in the long run.

[@MOAB-UT]

@@foxedrey622 Thanks. I do KETO so I include some low starch veg. Sally is not anti-plant. She lists several that are on her YES list. How I substitute to avoid deficiencies... Folate - Dark, Leafy Greens (Romaine- better then Iceberg, Broccoli, Cabbage, Cauliflower) • Vit. A, C, D, E and K “ “ and Cauliflower, Butternut Squash and LIVER • Magnesium- Supplement • Manganese (Shellfish/Clams); Nuts • Potassium- Banana, Avocado, Apple, Blueberry • Sodium- Supplement add IODINE

[@stevenprebeg]

I used to be meat eggs and cheese for a while but then noticed I was getting too skinny so I added small amount of fruits back in and I feel better … I was wondering if u can be in fat burning mode while adding in small amounts of fruit at the same time ? I’m assuming your body just uses it all as fuel anyway and the fruits aren’t enough to be in carb burning mode alone but just wondering. Still eat mostly meat and eggs .

[@MOAB-UT]

It's a tricky question. I do KETO and have low carb...but some. Many say this approach works best for them. Bart Kay might disagree. Given your question, you will really appreciate this vid. He covers mixing carbs and fats- Randle Cycle. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p5K6YqFmfaacaNksi=H30oVdXJKh2MIQuC&t=2

[@thetiredworker4922]

Hey, Lillie. I'm not asking for anyone's personal information, but in your coaching, have you been able to successfully help any people that are significantly overweight, like into the 400 - 500 pound range?

[@enigmamusement]

Starchivore - carnivore. Believe it or not I prefer adding whole wheat cereal such as Weet Bix (I live in Melbourne Southeast in Australia) together with fried mince beef and cow butter and cow cheddar cheese besides pork luncheon because the body does not need to convert fat and animal protein into energy because of wheat, plus the body gets as much protein it needs for growth and repair. At age 60, I am recovering from heart failure I suffered 4 months ago and see fast healing results and because wheat contains fibre I do not get constipation or strain on bowel movement

[@john-vega]

Probably your best video. Thank you! Meat is making you smarter. :)

[@LauraDiamondWise]

I discovered the carnivore/animal-based diet last year. I didn’t come to it to lose weight, but I have lost more than 35 pounds, so far. I came to this diet for energy because I’ve always had problems with fatigue and brain fog. While this diet did deliver on the energy, my problem is under eating, and that can cause problems with energy. I cannot eat to society, as is suggested, because I have a hiatal hernia, so I try to keep a plate of meat in the refrigerator at all times and I grab it when I’m hungry, but, as I said, I under eat, and I will only eat to satisfaction. This has been quite the quandary for me.

[@yizzynightingale138]

Some carbs are beneficial for you.! Not all carbs are the same . Its best when you eat COMPLEX carb. These carbs digest slower and is excellent for gut health. Its the SIMPLE carbs that will be the problem cause those will raise the insulin level having higher spikes. Its best to eat protein before eating simply carb cause the protein will slow down the simple carb preventing it to spike up. Slso if you chill the carbs ( mostly simple) , it will change to resistant starch in which is beneficial for gut health and what your gut needs like probotics. Eat COMPLEX carbs and chill SIMPLE carbs and / or eat after proteins. It helps me a lot when I do this. I have been loosing weight.😊

Watching this while eating sourdough dipped in heavy cream after a massive hike.

[@shawnlewis1918]

Although there is truth here, it depends on your personal application. I would say this advice is good for those who are trying to lose weight and not active. However if you are someone like me who is 53, exercises 3-4 days every week and trying to put on muscle while keeping your body fat composition down, as long as you are burning serious calories daily, you can incorporate come carbs like rice or potato with your protein and fat to help with filling that caloric surplus to help with muscle gain, being 53 it has been a struggle, carnivore helped over keto but still need some help with my older body so I do incorporate rice and potatoes on my post workout meal.

[@Arbarano]

What about advanced glycation end products? And what about the oxalates in the potato?

[@jeniedwards5999]

I eat very low carb but when I do eat higher carb I immediately feel a burst of energy - pretty logical since the body doesn't need them so it immediately tries to burn them.

[@SuperPico94]

Hie 🙂 little question: Is it okay to eat apple butter (without adding sugar)?

[@TeresaMichelle1970]

I eat meat, eggs, seafood, veggies and berries, ghee and animal fat. My body thrives on this

[@gregmoldovan5921]

My energy levels during workouts have been difficult to figure out. I have found I actually do the best and have the least amount of fatigue and sweat when I go 0 carb or at least close to 0 and 0 for that day. I think I have to change my diet around to have tons of carbs or something because little carbs TANK my energy! An apple, pear, or sweats even a few hours before working out causing me to sweat quickly and tire easily. Even if I down a pasta or a potato-based dish, I find I have much less energy. It's as if my body is fairly settled in ketosis energy and when I supply carbs, my body switches to quickly burn that off, then it leaves me depleted and no longer working off ketones. Or something. If I have a cheese and pork rind sort of day prior to lifting, I'll do bench and squat or deadlift in the same day, lifting 8 to 10 sets in each lift, plus exercises after - I come home and my kids jump on me and I spin around and have fun. If I cheat or think some carbs will be good for me, or even if I eat a high-quality multi-vitamin (those tank me also), I'm sweating profusely and wanting to quit around 5 sets, can't lift as much, and feel like passing out during and after my drive home - my children annoy me when I feel like this.

[@YamatoForever]

Very good.

[@amyb3680]

What about fiber? Fiber doesn't affect blood sugar levels, but it can help regulate the body's use of sugars and keep hunger in check. Dietary fiber is fermented by the human gut microbiota, producing beneficial microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids. Fiber is a complex healthy carbohydrate with two types - soluble and insoluble

[@narmo7989]

As an amateur athlete (endurance) looking for a performance edge, who doesn't struggle with weight gain, would you invest the time and effort into becoming fat adapted?

[@luigirnotyourbusiness8127]

One of the best ways to gain weight (fat) is to eat a lot, pig out, foods like pizza and ice-cream, a combination of fats and carbs

[@marcjames3487]

Exercising fasted has so many other benefits. As a Carnivore, I treat carbs like I used to treat chocolate or ice cream. They are not necessary at all, they are not essential, but they're an occasional treat which makes life more enjoyable. When raspberries, eg, are in season I'll buy some - but I'll only eat 4 or 5 at a time.

[@chrisdonnell2575]

I think each gram of carb your body stores in liver or muscles holds onto FOUR grams of water. It's why when we deplete our glycogen stores say we have a pound we lost 5 pounds. Every keto dieter will have realized they lost a ton of weight real fast its mostly all water.

[@nebulous962]

[@derekstrong2293]

What about advanced glycated end products when mixing fat with carbohydrates?

[@oscarl.3563]

My training is not compromised by forgoing carbs. But everyone is different.

[@swites]

What do you think all junk foods are? Chips fries cakes biscuits cookies slices burgers pizza donuts etc etc. All have around a 50:50 ratio of fat to carb calories ratio(1g of fat has 9cals 1g carbs has 4cals)!!! Also in this combination they're much less satiating and actually stimulate appetite so one accidentally overeats calories and over time becomes overweight. Hence the obesity crisis. If you just eat fat it gets hard to eat and too rich after a certain amount so you stop. Same with sugar by itself. It gets sickly so one stops. But add them together and we just keep on eating!

[@chris_losin_it]

Hi Lillie, I’m missing something or misunderstanding something somewhere. Can you explain how the meat has carbs? Are the carbs being consumed or is the glycogen changed prior to consumption?

[@gribbler1695]

The glycogen stores in the meat are the carbs. Much of the glycogen stores will be converted to lactic acid due to stress in the animal at the point of slaughter. High glycogen stores are required in the animal since the lactic acid reduces the ultimate pH of the meat, which must be below a certain level.
