Low Carb Diet: Fat or Fiction? Does it work?

Recent research suggests low carb diets could improve the lives of people suffering from obesity and diabetes.
Reporter, Dr Maryanne Demasi, asks international advocates, sports scientists and Australia’s leading nutritionists is it just another fad or is there more to cutting the carbs?

For type 2 diabetics like me, keto has been a godsend. Before keto, I was on up to 120 units of Lantus insulin a day, I was seriously overweight, and my kidney function was declining, putting me on a path to be on dialysis in 18 months. After going on keto, I lost weight so that 3 years later, I'm down 65 lbs, back to a weight I hadn't seen since my 20s (I'm 75). My blood sugar also fell and I started coming off insulin. Now I haven't been on insulin for 2 years and my last a1c was 5.6. My kidney numbers also improved, and I'm no longer in danger of going on dialysis. For me, carbs are like nicotine from smoking - they're extremely addictive, but deadly. I had to quit "cold turkey" and commit to not being tempted to eat them any more. Fortunately, my wife is an excellent cook, and makes delicious keto meals every day, so it isn't difficult to stay on this diet. She specializes in international cuisine, making Italian, Mexican, Indian, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Thai, and Middle Eastern dishes, among others, so a keto diet doesn't have to be boring at all.

[@nickjohnson811]

@@bk6010 The thing about keto is that it won't work if you only go half way, either by cheating or because you don't know what foods have carbs. If you try it, make sure you know the carb count of every food you eat. Best of luck!

[@BenediktLohmann]

@@nickjohnson811 You will have to stay keto though. As not ingesting carbs only covers the cause of diabetes type 2. The fat inside the muscle cells that cause insulin resistance itself (intramyocellular lipids) that interfere with opening the glucose transporter. If you do not ingest sugar, then insulin resistance won't matter. However, that is the actual cause. You are only treating symptoms right now.

To lose weight most people do not need to be on 20 grams or less a day. Many will get great responses from less than 100 grams per day. The real key to the weight loss is not the total daily amount but how much you are eating every meal. So if most people can stay below 10% carbohydrates per meal they will get spectacular results.

Now, I'm not massively obese, but chunky. Went on medicine to control my appetite. Didn't eat any junk food. Started a ketogenic diet of high fat, no carbs, moderate protein. 3 weeks into it: Constant lethargy-gone Inability to focus-gone Acne-clearing up (fucking 40 with acne) Energy-restored Inability to sleep at night-gone Inability to wake up in the morning-gone, get up without alarm and exercise Suicidal depression-gone Inability to break my weightless plataue for 6 months, broken Hunger-ok, I still get hungry but not like I use to.

[@Slainte-Mhath]

@C K I have been on a carb restricted diet for 18 months now and and it is not what the naysayers say it is. It can be if you do it wrong, but the biggest restriction in my diet is processed carbs. Stop eating processed foods and your carb intake will drop dramatically. So no flour products, and wheat and oatmeal no sugar and that includes soft drinks and juice, smoothies, cut out white rice and wash/rinse rice well before cooking, cut out ALL vegetable oils and margarine (olive oil is not a vegetable oil, it comes from a fruit whilst vegetable oils are actually seed oils and your body does not like them. If can't cut them all out long term at least restrict them dramatically. My consumption of fat and protein has only increased marginally and this is because I don't eat as much as I used to, but I eat when I am hungry, Processed Carbs (sugars) are .addictive and the more you eat the more you want. My weight has dropped and it was all fat and some water retention that is gone and the IBS I had a bit of is gone along with a reduction in skin irritation. You can loose weight faster by cutting back on the higher carb veg and replacing them with more and more green leafy veg. Reduce the high carb and high sugar fruits and eat more berries. Once you are at your target weight you can eat more carbs, just not the processed ones. The key to any diet is to get a good range of needed fats, mineral vitamins from real food. Vegan, vego or omnivore it doesn't matter as much as getting the whole range. It is harder as a Veg to get the saturated fats you need, but not impossible.

I’ve been living keto for 2 years. In the first 10 months I lost 85 pounds and reversed pre-diabetes along with scores of very positive changes, too many to list.

After a year of strict ketosis I’ve reverted back to baking sourdough bread and eating three or four slices a week. I think you’ll find that most people that eat keto for a long period are able to eat various carbs at various times but still mainly keep very low carb for good. And that’s the whole point get healthy and stay healthy. I never have the desire to snack and on the holidays I may indulge in some sweets. But instead of having two or three donuts I’ll have half a doughnut. Or a small piece of cake or half a cup of ice cream doesn’t matter, Life goes on. My family on both sides are diabetic. I was prediabetic I am not anymore. Had high blood pressure ( 150/90 ) not anymore ( 110/65 ). Lost 35 pounds and 5 inches off my waist. I had acid reflux for decades not anymore. Went from 6.1 H1C to 5.2. I’m 68 and I am not on any medications and don’t plan to be. Another added benefit, short term memory loss that started in my 50s has now reversed. Because I’ve been doing this so long my body has become fat adapted, which means it understands that fat and carbs can both be used as fuel. So if I eat a sandwich one day and go out of ketosis I can go right back in by the next day or two By limiting my carbs and increasing my fat. So if anyone thinks I reverted back to the way I was eating before you are most definitely wrong. I will eat this way the rest of my life And have my cake and keto too.

I agree, had a similar journey. Started out with strict keto, then gradually went up slightly in carbohydrates (with veggies, not garbage.) Weight dropped in the beginning, then a plateau for 2 years. So easy to manage. No more acid reflux, no more inflammation, better sleep, better energy level throughout the day. Occasionally eat a bit of hummus or beans, but don't cheat big because I don't feel the need to. Suits me fine and going to LC/HF with 5x wk exercise made me feel great. Don't plan to change it. Don't even look twice at sugary treats- plenty of keto options to satiate the sweet tooth.

(Good read: Atomic Habits.) Over time, the new habits took over, and once the grip of tasty carbs and sugar left my body, it got easier.

3 years ago I was 320 lbs. Went Keto and Intermittent fasting. I prefer to workout while 14 to 18 hours into my fast. I was on 5 medications today I don't even take an aspirin at 195 lbs with 12% fat. When building muscle I prefer to do 16/8 intermittent fasting with the odd OMAD. My body prefers 20/4 or 22/2. Dr. Berg, Dr. Berry, Dr. Fung & Thomas Delauer videos saved my life. Sugar is the enemy not good fats, such as saturated, mono and polyunsaturated. Healthy keto with a large salad rocks with my carbohydrates in my last meal. Intermittent fasting makes life so easy, your gut health heals with good fermented vegetables like sauerkraut. Break your fast with easy protein like bone broths with coconut oil. Good luck, the 1st month is tough especially stabilizing your electrolytes and minerals so read up on it, salt isn't bad for you. After 4 to 6 weeks the hunger abates and it's like being reborn! Good luck.

After that week it didn’t take long for my body to adapt to fatty foods like eggs and avocado and eat once a day around 1200-1500… I shed 60lbs in less than 6 months and I don’t look or feel fat anymore.

Please go and read academic papers on this issue. Tell me if carbs store as fat why are tonnes of people who eat carbs lean as anything? What do you do on a keto diet when your weight loss stalls? You can't just cut out carbs because you're already not consuming them. Did you know protein has a large insulinomic effect as well? Also by your logic, if carbs make you fat then wouldn't you eventually die on keto if you did it the rest of your life as you'd just continually lose weight? Here's a hint, calories matter and carbs don't make you fat. Unless you're telling me you could eat 10,000 calories a day of fat and not get fat?

I've been on a sustainable low, carb routine since 2019. So far it's been working like a charm 👌 I do around 15 to 20 hours of endurance exercise (Kayaking, jogging, and weight lifting) per week and have achieved healthy yet sustainable BMI, and body fat percentage figures. By the way, my testosterone level has constantly increased since 2019, when I measured it first. Now at 41, my testosterone level is in the 95 percentile of men in their early 20s in the normal range. My recommendation is to: Listen carefully and closely to your body and its signals & Do NOT follow the majority, as they are often wrong about most issues. Update (a month later): for the first time in the past 10 years, the "visceral fat" index went as low as 4% (the healthy range is between 2-12%), while the overall body fat percentage remained in the athletic zone of 12.8%. The average visceral fat among the US population is 10-11%. Good luck fellas 👊👊

This makes sense if you think that most sources of carbs are processed foods or grains that did not exist in the wild before domestication by early farmers, meaning that some cultures didn’t really have access to these until later in our evolutionary path. That explains why dairy, gluten and carbs are a problem for some people more than others. Then again, not everyone needs to follow the same diet to be healthy, but trying a low carb diet should be encouraged for anyone who suffers from obesity, diabetes, ibm, etc. Speaking for myself, I have struggled with digestive problems my entire life and have been overweight for the past 10 years, but recently lost 25kg through intermitent fasting and low carb diet, my digestive problems disappeared and I feel so much better in general

4 weeks on Keto and down 13 lbs and my clothes are so loose. I'm never hungry. I have tons of focus and energy. I wake up in the morning with desire to go to work and do my daily tasks. Best of all, my fasting glucose has dropped into the 80's and after eating, my highest number has been 106 2 hours after eating. I was hitting 300s with all my so called healthy meals. Dr. put me on metformin to help. I did nothing. Keto has been my best option and I am sticking to this diet as long as I live!

How much gr fat you should eat on keto, is there a limit?

[@texastea5686]

@@serimanulusoy6261 if you want to lose weight you should still watch calories on keto, but pretty much you can eat as much fat. What happens is that eating a fatty rich meal will make you feel full for hours, so some people on keto generally only eat one meal a day, 2 if they are hungry.

I started to know about low carb after my dad got diabetes 1 year ago. He is in south China rural area where people ate a lot of white rice and some vegetables. Because meat is expensive, people don't eat that much, but only occasionally. My parents are the same. I think this is how my dad got diabetes, and many other people in the village. Started to do some research to help my dad and found out low card diet. Recommended this to my dad, and now he is controlling his diabetes much better and cutting some medicines. It's hard to convince him since many doctors still insist that you have to eat rice or some kind of carbs. I myself been in low carb for 4 months now, lost some weight easily, feel really good. Also convinced my boyfriend to quit sugar and join me with the low carb. I think we should share our experience and spread this message to more people. I wish I know this earlier , then I would suggest my dad to cut some rice and sugary cookies and he probably won't get diabetes/high blood pressure.

Started keto in 2018 and have since lost 103lbs and shaved 59 points off cholesterol. It's definitely not for everyone but it has worked for me. I am genetically predisposed to diabetes. I'd previously tried Pritikin and DASH and was also vegan for many years. I struggled immensely with hunger and my hair fell out in clumps. I also have very low blood pressure naturally and on DASH it was furthered reduced which led to fainting episodes. Turns out my body just really wants vegetables and fats.

[@catherine2268]

The field of dietetics has completely changed, so have the guidelines. I am a new-grad dietitian and that food recommendation seems crazy to me. A lot of dietitians now don't try and put a lot of focus on having x amount of servings of x food group every day. There are things that can be worrying to us such as high levels of salt and alcohol but in general, we now like to promote a variety of foods that works for the individual.

It has cleared up my PCOS symptoms, my depression and anxiety are under control. I don’t feel hungry, or hangry. I wish I had done this years ago. Went to a diabetic educator today and whilst she is impressed with my results she told me I am being too restrictive with carbs ( I eat less than 20g a day ) and is making me see a dietitian to ‘improve’ my diet. I feel their views on diabetes are outdated and I’m letting my results speak for themselves. Food got me into this mess and the right foods will get me out of it.

@@kelliemarieross sorry but that's not true. There's not a single nutrient that can't be obtained on a keto diet, for instance we can eat tons of veggies, liver, moderate nuts, certain fruits, sardines, flaxseeds, chia, they all contain tons of nutrients :) And the fact that we dont eat grains on keto means no "antinutrients", molecules that prevent the intestine from absorbing minerals.. this means we absorb more nutrients than people on other diets (also it helps that restricting grains stops damage of the intestine wall, further ensuring higher nutrient absorption)

Fact - I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism about 4 years ago, after a blood test. At the time, my weight had gone up to 92kgs (over 200lbs) I tried different eating methods, without success, until someone introduced me to Keto late last year. From Nov to April 2020 I cut out as much Hi carb foods as much as possible, rice, lollies, noddles, root veges, high sugar soft drinks, and by April my weight had dropped down to below 85kgs, while still eating as much protein as possible, any meat mainly chicken and pork was still consumed. I have now stabilised at about 85kgs and still enjoy eating meat and non root veges, but have re-introduced myself to carbs within moderation. I didn't have to increase my exercise work rate, and I hate sugar, its poison.

[@quelorepario]

If you aren't careful about the protein intake (ie. meats), it will trigger gluconeogenesis in your liver which will turn the excess protein into sugar. To keep in the state of ketosis 80% of the energy (ie. calories) must come from fats and 15% from protein.

[@quelorepario]

if you eat once a day be sure you are getting the calories of a full day (over 1500 to 2000 calories), that is about three full meals at once. Otherwise don't do it. If you eat a normal meal once a day you will be severely caloric deficient and your body will react by lowering your metabolic rate, and that's not what you want if you are looking for permanent weight loss. Caloric deficit is common mistake that people make when they think about dieting to lose weight (eating less, being hungry) and that's also the primary reason they yo-yo in their weight loss (regaining the weight immediately after finishing the diet)

[@siafulinux]

I lost 70+lbs in a series of months, felt amazing! Blood pressure normalized, energy through the roof, not depressed at all. The biggest mistake was letting the holidays get to me but I never put the weight back on. Getting back to it though for the energy and anti-depression benefits.

[@snoopygonewilder]

It does work. I was never able to diet before, because I was always hungry and craving all kinds of foods and I'd eventually fall of the wagon because of anxiety. A few years back I did keto and lost 60lbs in 6 months, I had never felt so good in my life... emotionally, and physically. And I didn't feel like I was missing out on anything when it came to food. After the first 20 days or so I no longer craved sweets or carbs. This a diet you can maintain, like being vegetarian or vegan, is a style of living more than a diet.
