End Your CARB Confusion (Dr Westman & Dr Berry Simplify)

[@deedeem8485]

I started Keto carnivore Dr. Berry's way for a few months now. Lost 30 pounds reversed my diabetes, no more IBS or reflux, no more gas issues. My BP is dropping. My kidneys are healing, even my brain is working better, I breatth better. My nails and hair are growing. My joints don't hurt like they used too. My headaches are seriously reduced. I went off metformin. Wow. Amazing. Thank you Dr Berry. BTW. I journaled it all. Every thing I ate. My Blood sugar every day.

What happens too often in the doctor's office is this: A patient does keto on his own, and the doctor sees that the patient (1) lost 25 pounds (2) lowered his fasting blood sugar (3) lowered his blood pressure (4) lost his eczema (5) improved his mood (6) got rid of his digestive ailments (7) raised his "good cholesterol" (HDL) and (8) drastically lowered his triglycerides. But then the doctor sees that the LDL went up, and declares that this diet is unhealthy, Such a doctor simply needs to learn the science around cholesterol, and to stop taking medical advice from congressional committees and other bureaucrats.

[@2fixmj563]

Preach it Frank! My endocrinologist about fell off his chair when my six thyroid nodules shrunk 2 years running after growing (on SAD diet) for 8 years. This still can't change his mind to use Keto to reverse his type 2 diabetic patients. Medical doctors are so afraid of the lows. I can imagine that even one patient in a diabetic coma would be devastating to a doctor. Teaching someone how to dose insulin is so different than teaching someone how to eat low carb and safely lower their insulin. Even the smartest brains and most well meaning doctors can't seem to wrap their heads around how safe this is and how healthy it is! I will give him Dr. Westman's new book, End Your Carb Confusion and Gary Taubes' new book, The Case for Keto & keep shrinking those nodules. What else can we do?!?!

My story isn't about weight, and I often regret that these conversations focus on obesity, although I understand why that's the case. I went carnivore about a year ago, at age 63, and eliminated my eczema and blepharitis, which more than one doctor told me wasn't curable, only manageable. The relief I experienced from ending that wretched itching is indescribable. I hope anyone with a chronic condition takes matters into their own hands and researches the proper human diet. You do NOT need to suffer. And the solution is FREE. That's why it's unpopular.

@@AnythingGoals The new Atkins version allows higher carb limits, even in the initial Induction Phase, that won't put most people into ketosis, so the weight loss is slower. I bought the 2002 book, "Dr Atkins New Diet Revolution" and I highly recommend reading that book, so then you can compare old and new. But if you're asking about Keto, there are as many different versions as there are keto gurus, and it's usually much more restrictive and complicated than old Atkins, so a much smaller percentage of people can stick to it and it tends to cause eating disorders in those who are vulnerable to that.

I love the story about Dr. Atkins funding the study! I did the Atkins diet as an inactive chubby teen with a duodenal ulcer. I loved it and it worked for me, but couldn't maintain due to peer, parent and doctor pressure as well as the prevailing fat-phobia of the times. I developed hypertension in my twenties, and eventually was sort of controlled with 3 hypertension meds, potassium, a statin and an antidepressant. I did the DASH/Ornish diet for about the next 20 years, (which incidentally did NOT work) but my cardiologist highly recommended it, along with cardiovascular exercise, which I always had trouble doing. When I turned 65, I started having severe gut and bone/joint issues (and thyroid symptoms with normal TSH). On my own I discovered Dr. Berry and the PHD. Fast forward 2 years: I lost the 50 pounds that took me from obese to normal (I'm short), I dropped my blood pressure and all the meds, I have no more joint pain, constant throat mucus, heartburn, diarrhea, and brain fog. I can briskly walk for miles now, and I feel great!

I admire the way you speak the truth and from the heart, despite all of the obvious pressures and temptations that exist in the medical and food industry. Such a great example to others and the next generation.

[@whereisyourfaith1454]

Appreciate the credit given Dr. Robert Atkins. He never got his due. "They" dogged him every step of the way, since his first book in 1972 which truly was a "Diet Revolution". They hated that he was right. I'll always wonder if the good Dr. Atkins's unfortunate slip on the ice back in 2003 was an "accident". Very convenient timing for "them", the famous Dr. Cornish included. Thanks.

[@TheFrankHummer]

You're right about Doctor Atkins. For a period of time, Atkins was THE face to the public of low-carb/keto. He took so much flak, unfairly, that soon other low-carb keto diets that were only Barely different from Atkins came forward (South Beach Diet, etc....) and they all said essentially "Yes, low-carb is the way to go but we're not like that crazy Atkins diet! Oh, No! Ours is entirely different. We do HEALTHY low-carb/keto...." blah blah blah. And they would mischaracterize Atkins as consisting of nothing more than only eating the tops off of pizzas. As I said, these diets were all not much different from what Atkins actually put forth, but they wanted to distance themselves from Atkins specifically. There's a diet plan promoted on TV right now, that talks about insulin resistance. It's all the rage now to talk about IR, and actually that's probably a good thing. But I first read about "insulin resistance" in the Atkins book in February of 1999. (I started low-carb/keto Feb 17, 1999.) And the Atkins book had already been around for several (about 20?) years by then.

Exactly! Any company can slap a "keto" label on their product. It means nothing! The word "keto" is not regulated, and so anyone can make claims without any proof. Better to read labels for yourself, and know what a carbohydrate is. And better yet, eat as few packaged products as possible!

[@jetryan624]

Hello, do you mind if I ask you a question as a chiropractor, because my own primary care physician will not listen to or order the labs that my chiropractor has suggested. At the same time my chiropractor used to be in favor of carnivore and now she is backed off from that saying it's too strict. She can't give me specific answers as to why other than to say it's too strict and you need other vitamins and minerals and nutrients. I believe she has always been honest with me in the past research is about nutrition and supplements, I have taken her advice with good results. I don't understand the switch or her backing off from carnivore. I don't know she thinks I'm talking about the lion diet which is the strictest or what is going on and I cannot get a very clear answer from her at this time. I know you don't know her and don't know why she has backed away from what she thought was good. And she does say it's good as an elimination Diet for maybe about 2 weeks but not to live on for the rest of your life. How long have you as a chiropractor been on either keto or carnivore, and do you see any long-term problems with it?

[@valerier4308]

You are truly a dynamic duo! I read Dr. John Yudkin's book, "Sweet And Dangerous" in 1972, when I was 15. It changed my life. A year later, I read Dr. Atkins's first book, which reinforced what I learned in Yudkin's book. I think avoiding sugar and carbs saved me from being obese, like my grandmother who weighed 300 lbs. and suffered a stroke in her 40's that paralyzed one side of her face, or diabetic, like my cousin who had 2 kidney transplants (both of which eventually failed), and was going blind and deaf by the time she passed away. Thank you both for what you do! You continue to refine and reinforce the low carb message!

[@deniseolmstead6415]

I love Dr. Westman!!! I found his channel a few months ago (page 4!) and he made things so much simpler for me. He's easy to understand, has a very uncomplicated approach and I appreciate that SO much! I always follow "the doctors" for the solid information, as most of you (Dr. Berry, Dr. Westman, Dr. Berg, Dr. Cywes and Dr. Fung) prescribe the proper human diet/IF, and are super similar in approach which makes it so much easier to stop second guessing what you're doing and just stay the course. It can be SO easy to get lost in all the rules and different ideas people have about Keto/Carnivore. I love that the information comes from a medical standpoint specifically. I trust that.

Started Keto Feb. 1, 2022. Have tried many other diets since I was 13 years old. My A1C went from 6.7 to 6.2 in the first 7 days. I have not had a single drop of insulin since Jan 28. My waking glucose averages around 77-85. I have lost 23 lbs six weeks, and the numbers keep going down. I am on 2 other diabetes meds, and will be talking to my primary about coming off of those when I go back in a couple of weeks. Seeing a new doc and depending on how amenable she is to Keto, I will either stick with her, or find a new one. I always vote with my pocketbook when I am not happy with any professional, medical or otherwise.

I was already 20 lbs overweight.... He put me on a keto diet (he didn’t call it by any name) - yes - with diet pills - but the 50 lbs quickly melted away before hubby arrive home & discharged. Unfortunately it was ‘a diet’ for me - I was too stupid to look at it as a way of life. By the way, he later started The Lindora Weight Control Clinic!!!

Keto should reduce the chances of having a heart attack or stroke! Is what I learned from these MD's. I was told the LDL' s may slightly increase on this diet. But, I learned there are 2 types of LDL's : large ones & small ones. The small ones are the dangerous ones they said. The large ones are not dangerous and the increase in LDL's on this diet were the large LDL'S! Dr. Westman's studies showed a reduction of heart attacks with veterans at Duke. I think initially my LDL' S increased a little at first but today I have low LDL's, low bad cholesterol and high good cholesterol at age 73. God bless you!
