Low Carb Diets Are Superior for Type II Diabetes? Breaking Research | Educational Video | Biolayne

[@mando3651]

Layne you're the man. Why doesn't everyone watch these videos?

[@selfemployed1338]

As someone who has been low carb for the last 6 months, I have recently been eating more carbs and I'm definitely more fluffy now, but I really felt the difference in my workouts. Stronger and more endurance. My problem is when I eat carbs with sugar or fats I have no off switch for my hunger.

[@Newme55]

For The AL Gore Rhythm! I reversed my type 2 diabetes after losing 35 pounds a year ago. I didn't follow any particular diet I was pretty flexible with my food choices and meal times. I pretty much used all the tools in the toolbox, low fat one week, low carb another week, intermittent fasting, etc. My point is, lose some weight and I believe anyone's situation (type 2 diabetes) will reverse or at the very least improve. It doesn't matter what diet you choose.

[@Seanonyoutube]

Have you done an abdominal ultrasound? I also reversed my T2D but still have mild fatty liver & highish Apo-B…trying to tackle those now.

[@arvidlystnur4827]

Good job. Yes, I was morbidly obese, it took me one year to become normal range weight and now I'm six months into sustaining it. I think I was fortunate never to have type 2 diebetes, but my friend is overweight and has type 2. I've told him that recent evidence shows that most can beat it like you have by simply losing twenty to thirty pounds, but he replied " everyone says something different. Eat less fat, eat less sugar, eat less grains!", he then does nothing. What ya gonna do.

[@karlhungus5554]

Congratulations, Newme55 Newme55. Al Gore Rhythm...funny.

[@Seanonyoutube]

@@arvidlystnur4827 that’s proof of what you told him. Any form of dietary restriction tends to lead to weight loss. That’s the common denominator of all those diets. Explain that to him.

[@karlhungus5554]

​@@arvidlystnur4827 Congratulations on your success, too! I certainly can appreciate your friend's point of view, regarding all the differing opinions about diet. I've been there, too. Originally, I knew nothing about diet and just ate whatever I wanted. Most of it was fast food, high-fat foods, loads of calories, and processed foods like chips, sodas, etc. Not surprisingly, I was overweight. Then, I started reading about "health" and bought a couple of books by "experts" on the topic. I traded some processed foods for different processed products (protein drink mixes, fake meats, etc.) and my weight stayed about the same. Years later, I heard about The Primal Blueprint and that led me through the various associated camps and their buzzwords (Paleo, Low-Carb, Weston A. Price, Ancestral, Low-Carb High-Fat, etc.) and I learned even more. While following different permutations of the aforementioned diets, my weight stayed about the same. Next, I learned about vegetarianism, veganism, fruitarianism, intermittent fasting, high-carb low-fat, and such. Now, I had even more information! Then, Keto and Carnivore came along. In these camps, I only dabbled a bit. My weight? Unchanged. Now, after some 25 years, I've learned so much about so many things, I'm convinced I know nothing about anything. And, my weight remains about the same.

[@tilfliegel]

The german diabetes organization shortly revised their dietary guidelines: they now say highest priority is to lose weight and keep it off with any healthy diet that allows you to do so. They still say, low carb would be theoretically better, but it is worhtless, if it is not sustainable for the individual.

[@mando3651]

Sounds about right.

[@Macgee826]

If you want your health back enough sustainability shouldnt really be an issue but thats just me

There's no way I could have explained this study as simply as you did, Layne. You have a gift of making this research accessible to laymen. Incredible content, as always. To study this, we'd need an RCT with a study arm that is representative of the population (lots of people). With truly controlled diets. Or multiple study arms (trained and untrained, age stratified, etc.).

[@chadsmith4918]

I did keto back in 2017 and did well but personally I wasn't able to sustain it long term and had no plans when I stopped and I gained all the weight back. In the past year I have done flexible dieting and am the lightest I've been since college.

[@Nicola.M7]

What is flexible dieting? Can you tell me how you do it?

[@chadsmith4918]

@user-ej6oc5hy9w The way I did it to lose weight is to get 230g of protein and keep the calories under 2500. Was 280 when I started and I'm currently 220. Took me about 10 months.

[@jackwalter5030]

Layne, thanks so much for doing videos for us Type 2 folks. This study is very interesting, but my dieticians are asking me to focus on daily carb intake rather than long-term. I guess what I am saying is that low carb or moderate carb intake is good for Type 2s, but nothing above that. My understanding is that if I take care of daily intake, then the long-term results will take care of themselves. Weight loss is so important, but we folks have to keep our daily glucose numbers down.

[@markjohnson3737]

My “low carb” diet was cutting out a case of beer a week and a loaf of bread with the pound of pasta I’d have with dinner every night. Must’ve been the carb cutting, nothing to do with the calories I saved…

[@dylanfitch2997]

Yeah it's not like the keto warriors want to blame hormones and macronutrients for laziness

[@kevingarris198]

The standard American diet versus keto is not a fair comparison. I would be interested in a long term research study comparing a diet unrestricted as to number of carbohydrate grams eaten, but including exclusively high quality, low glycemic carbs vs. keto. Over a sustained period of time, my sense is that the results would be fairly comparable.

[@alphacause]

Thank you for this analysis Dr. Norton. As someone who has been a strict low carb adherent for over 7 years, it's nice to see this level of nuance, even if such nuance makes my preferred diet not look as effective as is often claimed by my fellow low carb proponents.

[@ThingsYoudontwanttohear]

Why low carb? Control the carbs. When do you need them and why?? Problem is people have no idea what the body does with the food you put in your mouth..all they wanna do is talk cals in vs out which is the stupidest thing ever invented.

The problem (imo) is that people are convinced they know what the body does with the food they put in their mouths and stop listening to opposing data.

[@Uzi_does_it76]

I reversed my Type 2 diabetes on a Keto diet, but I also lost 40 pounds and started a fitness routine along with the diet. So was it keto that fixed the diabetes or the weight loss? Probably the weight loss really. Seems like the leaner I get, the lower my HbA1C. I will say this for low carb however; my blood sugar stays much more level on a Ketogenic diet vs. the Standard American Diet or a high carb diet. So while i certainly don't think that Keto is for everyone, I certainly works for me and I appreciate that you recognize that nutrition isn't one size fits all.

[@Macgee826]

The keto and weght loss would defo work together to get those numbers down. Have a friend who recently got diagnosed type 2 ,litterally 5 weeks on keto and i.f. and his blood work is nearly normal

[@sharonwinningham7235]

I ate low carb for a couple of years. Stayed thin but never really felt well. I stopped when my cardiologist threatened to put me on statins because my cholesterol was high and I have a congenital heart defect so he was concerned. I went very low fat to drop my cholesterol. I eat high carb very lot fat and adequate protein. I’m the thinnest I’ve been since high school and I feel better than I have in years. I’ve never had a weight problem but have always tried to keep an eye on things because of my heart. My point is I was surprised how much better I felt on low fat. If you cut fat it’s pretty easy to drop calories. My husband would be miserable eating the way I do. I think you do have to just find what works for you as an individual that is sustainable. Love these common sense videos!

[@ash9259]

I'm 147lb (very toned and slim) at 5ft9-10, i lost most of my weight on a high carb diet, but there was a period before hc/lf where i was intermittent fasting and i managed to shed a lot of excess pounds, i just found it unsustainable because i enjoy eating as much as i can fit in my stomach. In regard to low-carb diets, they are pretty concerning in regard to leading to metabolic issues and are simply not worth it as far as i can tell. After reading studies on HPA Axis and its relation to starvation (and diets that induce a starvation response in the body such as low-carb), such studies point quite vividly to this supposition (that low-carb diets cause metabolic issues). Of course, you can listen to peoples anectdotes of their low-carb diets and they usually display the symptoms described in glucose-deprivation based literature. Flexible dieting overall is a pretty solid strategy, so long as you are willing to be a disciplined when it comes to not overconsuming calories, you can make it work really well. I find the only thing with me is that since i am used to a high-carb low-fat diet (i tend to have mainly coconut oil), putting too much fat in my body in the form of something like a pizza, donuts or a nice curry is pretty detrimental to my overall health.

[@blainebowling3303]

Since I’m indeed an individual and not data on a sheet of paper I opt to get my blood tested. I do fine on a low carb diet until I add in liver. I lost 80lbs on a low carb diet and have kept it off for 8 years. About four years in I discovered I love liver pâté. At that point my ferritin went through the roof along with my Cholesterol-C. Quit the liver and everything pretty much normalized except high cholesterol which runs in the family. Even so my ApoB and LPa was fine once I stopped the shit ton of organ meats. Then it was suggested to me that I needed to try a better source of liver (grass finished). I’m sure you can guess what happened. But you never know until you know! Studies are a good place to start but for gods sake, get tested. I’m sure people in the low carb community are just tiered of getting shit on by the mainstream media. Although I’ve never once heard Layne say there’s something wrong with low carb. It’s just not magic!!!!

[@jan-ck7td]

There are at least two things to consider with (pre)diabetes: insulin resistence and blunted (first phase ) insulin response. Insulin resistence can usually be fixed by losing (enough) weight. Can be any diet.Often the first phase insulin response will then also come back. If not, your body will not be able to manage large amounts of carbs in a meal even when you are reasonably insulin sensitive. You spike to much ( even when your a1c and FBG are oke. ) So it depends: when you lose enough weight you will get better however. If you really want healthy bloodsugars, you better not overconsume carbs (depending on your pancreas and other factors as exercise around meals, medication etc. Carb restriction is not the only factor. ) At least that is what I believe.

[@not-a-raccoon]

Things are RARELY as simple as the people who cite these studies claim them to be. There's a ton more nuance involved. There's a lot of "it depends..." People don't like hearing "it depends..". For me, I feel better eating lowER carb. I know that's me. Myself. Study sample of ONE. I paid attention to how I was feeling when I ate certain things. Tons of carbs is a no go for me. My meat suit like protein, and it makes the ghost driving my meat suit happier when the meat suit feels better.

[@Rightofpop]

I always feel like crap after eating bread, rice or pasta so I skip those.

[@Melesniannon]

More to the point, the studies rarely state what the people who cite them claim they state. Note that Layne pointed out that the researchers of the meta-analysis concluded no significant benefits attributable to the low-carb diet but he was pointed to this research by people who believed it does. The point he makes about reading more than the excerpt cannot be overstated, and this is especially true in the Internet-knowledge-driven world we live in where bite-sized pieces of information shared rapidly are blindly held to be true by their recipients. Nearly every time when somebody's thrown a research "source" at me during a discussion, reading their own source led to the conclusion that it doesn't say what they claim it says. Because they didn't read it, they just got a quote from it.

[@chrisk1948]

Dr. Layne, I love the fact you support and advocate for the diet that works for each patient as an individual. Other doctors (e.g., Dr. Berg, Dr. Ekberg) are so fixated on there being a select few number of diets that all patients should follow--1 that revolves around the premise of low/no carb and/or intermittent fasting.

[@AllothTian]

Look up the work of Prof Roy Taylor and his colleagues. It's been shown that simply losing weight can reverse Type II diabetes. Their theory is that every person has a "fat threshold", which is essentially the amount and distribution of fat cells in your body. Once you fill up your subcutaneous and visceral adipose tissue, the excess will be absorbed by your pancreas (and other organs like the liver), which will inhibit the production of insulin. The fat threshold seeks to explain why a small percentage of diabetics (in the west) are actually fairly lean - they simply have less fat storage capacity. It should be noted that this capacity has a racial component to it, which may explain the rapid rise of metabolic syndrome and diabetes in Asian countries, even though their obesity rates are not as high. Low carb diets may have some effect on metabolic health / performance, particularly when it comes to increasing the fat max threshold in endurance athletes, but there are far too many caveats and lack of good research.

I think the "superiority" of low carb diets can be attributed to the increased fat oxidation along with the decreased appetite given that fat tends to be very satiating. Hypothetically a high carb diet with equal caloric restriction as a low carb diet could yield the same result. I guess the obvious point here is that it's very easy to eat less and burn more on a low carb diet than it is on a high carb diet. In part because carbs have quite the impact on insulin which impacts hunger in a vicious cycle kind of way. This is something I don't see Layne bring up and I'm not sure why.

[@PSA78]

If you are a natural bodybuilder ready to go on stage, then your testosterone will probably not be that high. 🙂 I agree, a breakdown would be interesting, but it's a lot of other variables (genetic, training, diet, sleep, age, gender etc) that makes it practically difficult to use the information, so testing is the easiest way to figure it out. 🙂

[@Schaufelor]

@@PSA78 i agree. Everyone is different. I tend to keep a relatively low bodyfat with visible sixpack year round without craving more food. So i guess it is healthy for me. But i still wonder if there is an optimal body fat for the same individual at least. Or if it is (like Jeb!Bush said) a range and it doesn´t matter as long as you are in that range.

[@PSA78]

@@Schaufelor I believe on stastical level when they can use BMI, then I believe men should aim for ~9-20. Around 25 is when there might show some negative effects, at least if a lot of other things are working against you. Women can typically have a little bit more, maybe for a couple of reasons (one is that they tend to store more fat bellow the waist). I believe some research suggested that older people might also be able to have a couple of percent more without issues. If you're starving your body then it's likely turning of less essential functions, and when you start getting insulin sensitivity you'll have different hormones fighting each other (I'm sure there's a scientific word and a better explanation for it 😂).

Regardless of weight loss, low carb/keto diets increase insulin sensitivity (good for fat loss and muscle gain), give you more stable energy throughout the day so your TDE will likely increase and reduces the chance of eating processed foods.

Diabetes type2: I need to lose weight but can't. I eat about 200g carbs/day. I was eating 150g/day but felt really crappy. I don't eat any very high glycemic carbs. Basically, my main carbs are whole wheat bread and pasta, a little rice, and beans. I fill up on vegetables and chicken broth. I eat a lot of protein. Don't we need to eat complex carbs to avoid low blood sugar and going hypoglycemic?

[@chucklandry73]

Low carb diets reduce negative health markers FASTER. You can eat more volume of other foods while reducing caloric intake on a low carb diet. You stay fuller longer on a low card diet. You are more satisfied/satiated on a low carb diet. Thermic effect of food is higher in a low carb diet. Insulin spikes are nearly non existent on a low carb diet. Energy levels increase on a low carb diet. Focus improves, brain fog disappears on a low carb diet. All of the above improves your success while losing body fat, losing weight/dieting. Health markers that improve faster are fasting glucose, HbA1C, systemic inflammation, blood pressure, CRP (C-reactive protein). A reduced calorie alcohol only diet would reduce body weight and improve various health markers (while of course raising your liver enzymes) but no one is advocating that. Fructose and ETOH are treated the same by the liver, so we see year another benefit of low carb diets as many carb items not only have glucose but also fructose or high fructose corn syrup. I had labs done with primary...asked for a specialist referral ..that specialist required his own labs even though I had just done them...I go for another draw I think within 8-10 days...all health markers improved dramatically. Total cholesterol dropped 34 points. Triglycerides were cut in half...LDL fell, HDL was raised, fasting glucose which was slightly over at like 102 came down to 84. I didn't care about cholesterol or LDL, I cared about triglycerides and HDL and both improved dramatically. This was the result of very low carb diet...I ate fat like it was going out of style...protein came along for the ride. Bacon, ground beef, eggs, ribeye, pork chops, MCT oil, butter, and cooked a lot with bacon grease. Any fluid retention disappeared, any discomfort in joints disappeared, acid reflux disappeared, sleep improved , snoring improved, I had more energy and a better mental outlook. So losing weight without utilizing a low carb lifestyle is not remotely the same thing by any metric.

Great video. Do you know if hypothetically two diets were identical in total calories and carbs, would glycemic index have any impact on someone's A1c or is it mostly irrelevant because the area under the curve for total glucose would be rather similar since carbs are equated?

[@rhulcy]

No, only because g.i. is flawed since it was studied in isolation which most people eat these carbs in meals with protein and fats that change the digestion rate and glucose/insulin spike. That being said, what carbs effect an individual will be different within individuals so you'd be right in your thinking but it isn't across the board

All your analysis revolves around hba1c. But high glucose variability with high peaks is aledged to be very harmful on its own, and one can have these fast peaks with normal a1C. Including those of 200 which are diabetic level. And lower carb can lower glucose variability and peaks. ADA criteria for diabetes is OGTT over 200 random OR over 125 fasting OR a1c over 6.5. There are studies showing normal a1c with the others meeting diabetic criteria.

I dont know how to ask this question, but here goes. Is there going to be a difference in body composition if i choose to consume all my calories blended vs consuming solids? My thinking is possibly, because the body has more work to do to break down solid food before turning it into nutrients and this might lead to a leaner look? 🤷🏿‍♂️

[@kevingarris198]

Would you consider the low carb diet to be generally less nutrient dense because of its exclusions?

I put my pre-diabetes in remission with a carnivore way of eating, lost weight, inflammation in my face went away, and my back acne cleared up! Not everyone can eat carbs/sugars as we get older!

[@нямаиме-к]

What helped you with the acne? Lowering the carbs?

[@MrGervasius]

There are Type II Diabetecs who are not ready for weight loss. For them, low carb is better because although it will not bring the sugar values back to normal, it will still significantly reduce them.

Did he really just say A1C is a good marker for insulin sensitivity?? He hasn't read the studies that diabetics turn over erythrocytes 20+ days sooner than "normal" people, ranging 80-140 days. It varies widely with anemia & different ethnic backgrounds. Finally, a study compared A1C to OGTT, and found that A1C missed 73% of true diabetics! What a crappy test.

Then why type 1 diabetics changes their insulin dosages based on the carbs content of each meal. Please read about dr Bernstein who is a type 1 diabetic since 1960s. I am a diabetic and my post meal sugar levels are directly correlated to carbs content in the meal

How many grams of fat do you consume on average a day by your best estimate? I ask because, usually anyway, intracellular fat plays a significant role in the rate at which insulin (injected or otherwise) can drop bloodsugars back to normal.

[@atim99100]

@@ash9259 I eat around 100 grams Fat minimum per day.

Blood sugar aside....Low carb = high cortisol = low testosterone. Also low carb = high SHBG = low Free T....ie. low carb = bad for male vitality

[@videogazer801]

Why would low carb cause high cortisol? It shouldn’t do that, I’ve done low carb with zero cortisol issues
