Low Versus High Carb Diets | Dr Christopher Gardner | The Proof Podcast Bonus EP

[@Bugman82]

Dr. Christopher Gardner is an excellent communicator who clearly loves what he does. I really enjoyed this interview.

[@readingsbycara]

*Finally!* 👍🏼💯 💚 blood type A do well on high carb, vegan, vegetarian 💙 blood type O do well on carnivore 💜 Blood type B and AB do well on Mediterranean diets.

I find it very sad that this channel is so much less popular than some of the channels that feature proponents of specific diets who are, to put it politely, a little loose and relaxed with facts and science. This channel should be number one on KZbin. Thank you for all the wonderful, well balanced content.

Excellent guest, thank God there are a few intelligent doctors telling the truth about diet and nutrition. Keep up the good work Doctor Gardner.

[@AmadoWildlifeVideos]

I've watched a boatload of food/diet/health/locarb/lofat/carnivore/keto/WFPB videos this year and Dr. Gardner is the least alarmist, most sensible voice I've heard. Thank you for this podcast.

I loved this interview with Prof. Christopher Gardener. He comes across as such a wonderful human being. His enthusiasm is infectious. My mission to is listen to all of his other interviews on KZbin to expand my knowledge of the gut microbiome and follow his advice about enjoying a predominantly plant based, whole food diet that it satiating.

[@bgrobbins]

I was on a high carb vegan diet for 8 years doing relatively well. then I transitioned to a low carb keto diet based on meat eggs and dairy. I felt terrible, smelled bad, and had much lower energy. I have now switched back to high carb vegan and am feeling much much better. for me high carb is so much better. other people criticize high carb, but my experience doesn't match up with their criticisms.

[@Kitiwake]

High carb is the road to diabetes, plaqueing and alzheimers, imo.

Probably you were not able to switch over to fat burning from glucose burning. Could be the cause of the terrible feeling for the switching from the carbs.

This takes me back to the way we ate when I was growing up. We ate nothing processed, other than a few things that my mother canned, nothing added. We basically had a meat, potatoes, vegetable for dinner but not always potato, sometimes another vegetable instead. None of us were overweight and my parents were fairly slim and active their entire lives.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Similar to what my older family members had. Oatmeal for breakfast, potato, chicken, beans or something like that, and usually a sandwich or something for lunch if they ate a lunch.

What I teach as a lifestyle medicine educator is not a diet but a way of eating. There is a difference and the results are more focused on long term and lifestyle.

[@saklan_territory]

Very happy on a WFPB diet, super satiating for me, esp when I start my day with beans/tofu, and a whole grain + veg. Oats & fruit for lunch. Nuts & fruit for snack. Soup or salad for dinner w a whole carb. May add back in fish when I am 80 years old.

[@char2304]

[@Sid-bc8pn]

It is always great to listen to Prof. Christopher Gardener. As a scientist in another area I know how important it is to work with this really great attitude and open attention that he has. Concerning "Behaviour" and "general use" I would really appreciate to hear more from him. Concerning "adherence" I am missing always a good overview and analysis of the major "adherence factors". Something like: - Food/behaviour for a better control of ghrelin/leptin. E.g. how certain fatty fish, some molecules, some activities or nipping lemon water with acv the whole day stop hunger and cravings. Is there more? what is best? - Addiction and nucleus acumbens mechanisms: Some foods are really drugs, like alcohol. Means - how to help drug addicted? Is "just a little bit of the drug" really a good advice (most nutritians talk like that)? Would we do that with an teetotal alcoholic? What is the better approach? Of course "whole grain" is better than white toast - but does it trigger the nucleaus accumbens to get "the next more intense drug"? Like a gateway drug? - Where to start to change behaviour: We know the list of good things that people should do. Good sleep, excercise, vegtables, legumes, a bit of fish, fun and less stress, family and friends, challenges...ok great. But obviously people have problems to change to this living style, sometimes even just a little bit. There is a "dark gravity" into another direction. Something destructive in humans is stronger. What is it, and how trick it out? Is the "what" really still the main question to discuss, or isn't it more the "how"? I cannot find many researchers working on the "how", but perhaps Prof. Gardener knows more? Many people are simply not able to do the best for themselve, and this is often not a problem of not knowing it.

[@gloriasaliba3395]

New to your channel Simon - this was an excellent conversation - I’m a 62 year old post menopausal T2D who set out on a reset of my mental and physical health last September - i gave up work to focus on turning my health around - I’ve lost 25 kilos and have another 20-25 kilos to lose to reach an acceptable body weight. In the past months I’ve lowered my AIC from 6.9 to 5.8 and inflammatory levels from 26.5 to 5.1. I’ve removed processed carbs and sugar certainly not keto as I enjoy bread and noodles but focus on protein good fats and salads vegetables - I try to eat within a 8-10 hour window. I’m not a good sleeper and was diagnosed with vestibular migraines a few months ago - I’m currently suffering with them daily so I’m waiting to see a neurologist soon - fascinating to hear the various components that contribute to weight loss - 25 years ago I lost 15 kilos in 3 months on a WW low fat high fibre diet - not sure I’d ever be able to repeat that weight loss on same regime - I’m wondering if any of the study participants ate within a time restricted period - eating within an individual’s circadian cycle interests me - can you please interview Dr Ben Bikman or someone else who specialises in optimum metabolic health aligned with the circadian rhythm - I love how you finished the conversation - let’s focus on the big ticket items - less refined sugar carbs and grains and focus on quality foods including protein good fats low GI fruit salad vegetables

[@paulbooth77]

Professor Gardner is such a relatable guy despite his extreme knowledge; I really love his approach to nutrition. For a vegan to say ok, a small amount of chicken or eggs or fish is probably ok so long as you have tons of fruit and veg is the message that needs to get out there. I'm plant based, but can appreciate his sentiment - a tiny bit of animal protein is better than gorging on burgers,pizza and fried breakfasts day in day out

[@mikafoxx2717]

Less is more.

[@hillviewmews]

Thank you for your concluding advise, Prof. Eliminate the root cause of modern metabolic chronic diseases, which we all know what that is now. However the Low Carb Therapeutic Diet is the most successful in reversing Type 2 Diabetes and reducing insulin by half in Type 1 while eliminating the highs and lows, the greatest challenge in Type 1. Also doing cross-over studies on Ketogenic like Diets are potentially flawed because it takes 4 to 6 weeks to get fully Keto Adapted and the metabolic effects may last months compromising the crossover integrity of the study. Those already on low fat may also take longer to become fat adapted confounding the study further. There are now several studies proving the therapeutic benefits of proven versions of a low carb diet.

[@paul_devos]

This reminds me a bit of the blood type diets I think that started in the mid 1990s. I don't know how scientific they are, but very much speaks to the variability of diets that work for different people.

[@antares4141]

I've been doing what Dr Gardner summed up in the end, whole grain, (way way way) less refined sugar, lots of vegetables although for me starchy is fine, I (try to) stay away from all processed nothing good comes from eating processed foods. Mostly plant based diet with the occasional usually lean meats and broths also. Virtually no oils or butter. Do drink some milk. Plenty of fruit when I can get it. And intermittent fasting. I eat in a 6 hour window and fast the rest of the time. My bmi ranges from 21.8 to 23.4. Pretty much maintained this range, 130 to 145lbs 5'6" for the last half a decade or more. Because of my CFS I am involuntarily sedentary. I don't eat gluten because of my CFS which adds a level of difficulty to the diet but at the same time was a lot of the motivation. Restricting food seems to help with my CFS symptoms specifically the food reactivity. People seem to be looking for a get rich quick type of solution to their weight problems. Doesn't happen that way, it takes time, dedication and sacrifice. I don't pay any attention to carbs or fat or protein intake other than I try to limit excess fat and carb. For all intents and purposes take no supplements. I have one a days and some ocular ones for my macular degeneration (I am 65) but rarely take them. Going without food for 18 hours kind of sucks, not eating junk food kind of sucks, but the benefit's far outweigh the sacrifice. You can get acclimated to it though. At my worst I think I weighed close to 175lbs. I do have the added benefit that I can spend the 1.5 to 2 hours a day it takes preparing my own meals and cleaning up afterwards. Not everyone has that luxury. Another thing I find extremely helpful not just with diet but insomnia at night and difficulty staying awake during the day is timing my meals at specific times every day and the get up and go to bed times as well. Like most other organisms we have a circadian clock eating and sleeping at different times screws that up.

[@chewiewins]

Totally agree Fundamental of more non-root veg, less refined wheat, no sugars or ultra processed food is what we all need to have

[@moonowl4912]

How about the increasing cases of hypothyroidism and Hashimoto’s. Looking at treating the root cause of the hypothyroid which is the antibodies attacking the thyroid. Looking at healing/remission of Hashimoto’s through diet so the thyroid can begin to heal. I am a true believer in the body’s ability to heal itself.

[@marcjacobson757]

Having read both A to Z and DIETFITS, it's fascinating to hear the evolution of the thought process and how one study's limitations and insights led to the latter study's design and hypothesis. I love the emerging view in nutrition that there is no one best diet for everyone. We all need to find the one that's right for us while sticking to a generally applicable rule to prioritize food quality.

[@satxsatxsatx]

Dr. Gil after looking at several studies in meta-analyzes came the same point I guess assuming the quality of the food was high To dominating, overwhelming, deciding factor was caloric restriction, NOT type of diet That raises the question if you're losing weight on either type of diet, low carb or low fat, then on average you must be in ketosis to be burning fat

[@sectionalsofa]

Conclusive remarks about a foundational diet: 1000%!!!! When I tell people I eat predominantly whole plant foods I always add that the "whole" part is as important to me as the plant part. For me, plan A is wfpb, but plan b (when choices are limited) is modified paleo, like salmon and vegetables, not ultra processed or high glycemic vegan food. I understand and respect that a vegan would make a different choice, but I imagine that would be largely an ethical one.

[@zeldasheldon1]

Brilliant interview. It makes SO much sense that we can't lose the joy and pleasure of food because then any diet will fail.

[@BlueVelvetBear]

Fantastic interview! 👏 thank you both very much, I thoroughly enjoyed that. I'm currently Keto. 20yrs ago I was vegetarian. Both times a healthy weight. The things we all agree on, such as eating whole foods and cutting out refined and processed foods. Incorporating fermented foods too... that's what matters. Our bodies do need fats. Our microbiome is important, pasture raised animals have higher omega 3, factory grain fed animals are more inflammatory because the omega 3:6 ratios are out of whack. Animal welfare is important, eating foods you enjoy is important, what a great way to close!I recently read that blood types have an influence in what we may each thrive on for our optimum health, as we are predisposed to different health issues, and have evolved differently. This is not something I've heard verified by any studies. I've done well on both diets. I was never vegan though. Doing carnivore for 3 weeks as an elimination diet was highly enlightening as I felt awesome! Dreadful to cut out all the polyphenols in fruit n veg long term, but surprising hoe adaptive my own system can be. I'm thrilled he got the grant to do thatbstudy and the results are invaluable. Thanks for the excellent questions and findings.

[@susiehooper2798]

I loved this Simon and Dr Chris Gardiner. I think this might be the first time I've had a chance to comment on your show Simon, despite loving it. People are so different in the way they respond to food. I was a medical doctor so I love lapping up the evidence behind the physiology, metabolism and nutrition guidance by the different professionals you interview. I'm currently doing ZOE testing because since I've been menopausal my blood sugar crashes when I do high endurance exercise, (mountain biking) and I now have to drink dextrose on my bike and have some high sugar food before I start. My metabolism can go up for a couple of days. Yet day to day my metabolism is slow and I wouldn't eat high fat, high sugar foods ultra processed and highly refined foods.I have to have a high protein diet, complex carbohydrate and lots of veg diet . I do eat meat and,I do eat yoghurt and keffir but my diet is generally high in legumes, nuts and seeds. So, it's pretty good. I'm 5 days into my ZOE testing and it is shocking to see my blood glucose spike to 8-10mmol/l after white basmati rice with wild rice or wholemeal pasta with a veg rich meat sauce. Equally I can see my blood sugar teetering along between 5-7mmol/l while I bike and then going right down afterwards. I just have to keep eating. Interesting seeing what's happening in my body. Some of it I could have anticipated and some not!! Your episodes with Dr Stacy Sims were the best podcasts I've seen with her. I'm wondering whether Chris has specifically looked at metabolism and diet in peri and post menopausal women or their nutrition needs in excercise. It would be interesting to see Dr Stacy Sims and Chris together. It would be interesting to see you interview Professor Tim Spector. I really respect the ZOE approach to looking at personalises nutrition. But I don't think they've got it right for people who do high endurance exercise. They can't all manage with normal food . I'm sure they will get there from what they find out from peoples measures but I'm sure they will be telling me to stop drinking dextrose and having high sugar snacks on my bike. But I felt ill before, even though I consumed a vast amount of carbohydrate rich food on my bike. Luckily I saw an endocrinologist who is an endurance athlete who recommended the dextrose drinks ( and gels or sweets if nedded), at the same time as I was looking into fuelling for high endurance exercise. And I feel much better and stand up whilst riding for the first time in 5 years. There's not much out there re the nutrition needs of mountain biking which is a demanding sport when you're climbing up gnarly terrain. Lots on road biking, triathlon and running. I'd love someone to study me and just menopausal athletes in general!

[@tna-technutamateur8249]

I can imagine that people who don't fare well on a low-carb diet may be too addicted to carbs. And I can imagine that people who thrive on a low-fat diet are metabolically very strong. That completely explains the outcome of the research as well. There is an optimal diet for deer, for wolves, apes, dolphins, and there is probably an optimal diet for humans too.

Wonderful interview. Always enjoy listening to Dr G and as he said, you ask great questions Simon. You have terrific guests and the journey you go on with them is always interesting and useful. I have a question regarding my female, 68 year old self. Is it possible to find someone who is across a decent amount of info on the way us very post menopausal women can eat nutritionally well and maintain optimal weight? I find the only women I know who stay slim in my cohort are hardly eating anything in a day and are often exhausted and unwell due to lack of good nutrition - but they look great! I struggle constantly. I eat really well and exercise a lot and I'm very healthy, except for being 12 kg overweight - which is not a healthy thing to be. Thank you, Liz :)

I’m curious about the low fat science. What about the low fat diet makes it help people eat less calories? I’m pro low carb / Keto because it helped me eat less calories while not being hungry during the day. For me, that is the most difficult part of dieting is being hungry. It’s not going to be sustainable longer term. Who wants to spend a life constantly being hungry? From what I understand, they did a study of people fasting, finding that around 2-3 day into the fast, subjects reported a decrease in appetite. This was attributed to their bodies going into Ketosis. Then later discovered the same level of Ketosis could be achieved by eating a very low carbohydrate diet. What would be the factors that prevent hunger on a low fat diet?

[@gloriasaliba3395]

I would have to agree with you - I eat two substantial meals with a 6-10 hour time period - when I lower my processed carbs and sugar I feel less hungry - the past few weeks I’ve started eating things like oats for breakfast and I’m hungry just a couple of hours later - I’ll be going back to protein fats for my first meal

[@davidmoser8901]

Great Interview. In the end you talked about that the microbium is different between people and that this may be an indicator for personal nutrition advise. We know that the microbium changes when a diet changes long term. So that raises the question if it is smart to give nutritional advise looking at the microbium when the current diet is not healthy and the microbium just adapted as good as possible to the diet. Is there anything like a "healthy microbium" where people should aim for?

[@northerncoloradotransparen1454]

While some proponents claim various health benefits, it is important to consider the potential risks and limitations associated with such a restrictive dietary approach. Here are some points to consider: Lack of essential nutrients: By excluding plant-based foods, a carnivore diet can potentially lead to deficiencies in essential nutrients such as fiber, certain vitamins (like vitamin C), minerals (like potassium), and phytochemicals found in fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. These nutrients play crucial roles in maintaining overall health and reducing the risk of chronic diseases. High saturated fat and cholesterol intake: A carnivore diet is typically high in saturated fats and cholesterol, which are primarily found in animal products. A diet high in saturated fat and cholesterol has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease and other cardiovascular issues. Limited fiber intake: Plant-based foods are the primary source of dietary fiber, which is important for maintaining digestive health, regulating blood sugar levels, and supporting heart health. A carnivore diet can lack adequate fiber intake, potentially leading to constipation and other digestive problems. Potential nutrient imbalances: Relying solely on animal products can disrupt the balance of macronutrients in the diet, particularly with regard to carbohydrates. This can potentially affect energy levels and overall metabolic health. Long-term sustainability: The sustainability of a carnivore diet is questionable due to its heavy reliance on animal products. From an environmental perspective, a plant-based or plant-forward diet is generally considered more sustainable and eco-friendly. Individual variations: It's important to acknowledge that individual responses to different dietary approaches can vary. Some individuals may report short-term improvements in certain health markers or conditions while following a carnivore diet. However, long-term effects and potential risks should be carefully considered.

Also there is more than one kind of these tissues. Eg Brown Fat seems to have it main function as that of generating heat, and thus is very high rate in terms of calorie consumption, thus folks with higher proportion of Brown Fat burn through more calories, and thus have a natural tendency to be more lean.

Hi Simon, I recently found your podcast and listening through all the episodes. Absolutely loving it, I am inhaling them, thank you. I know you and Dr B touched on eating disorders in episode 70, and my brain can possibly not retain all the knowledge I am trying to digest, but i would love an in-depth one on the path of recovery. What actually happens to the body when you have an eating disorder for lets say 10 years and then start to heal. Are there studies on this? Can the body fully heal, what happens in the gut after bulimia and or starving yourself? The best to do besides whole plant food diet and exercise, are there specific things to look out for, or specific supplements that would benefit such a person on such a journey? Maybe if this is not a science enough field to do a podcast on do you know of someone who does talk about this more in-depth. There is also so much psychology linked to this and brain chemistry stuff, so definitely a layered topic. (English is not my first language, excuse the normal talking style) Thank youuuuu x

When people blame the carbs for all their problems, they obviously forgot the oil, the sugars and the salt that those carbs were cooked in…

Atkins diet didn't work for me neither did Longevity diet. The only diet that worked for me was Rosemary Conley GI HIP AND THIGH diet. You do 2 weeks of 1200 calories plus daily exercise. Called fat attack fortnight. After the two weeks you calculate your weight to how many cals you need. It does work. I started at 154lbs and dropped to 8st 10lbs. It took 15 months to lose it. For 2 years I stayed at 9st 8. Then went stupid and ate what I wanted. Now am 11st. So back where i started. My only complaint about her diet is it's void of fats inc avocados 😢 omg and no olive oil. Also you need to exercise most days or walk and if you're a lazy git like me then it's hard to stay motivated to do it.

so what I took from this is eat a whole foods diet it does not need to be low fat or low carb ?? even with insulin resistance?

Simon I lost 27 pounds about 2 years ago. The one thing that I noticed was at about the 20 pounds mark my metabolism fought me and I had to use intermittent fasting to get past that point. I called this challenge a weight loss set point. I wonder if anyone else has noticed this effect?

[@zeldasheldon1]

This stabilization / weight loss plateau is also happening to me. I'm age 67, went from a 22 BMI to a 27 BMI throughout the Covid 19 pandemic. For the past 6 weeks I've followed the Bright Line Eating Plan which is all about zero added sugar, zero flour, zero snacks, 3 weighed and measured meals a day 4 hours and 5 hrs apart. In the first 14 days I dropped 7 pounds. And now for the past 2 weeks my total weight drop has stalled at a stubborn 11.6 pounds and I'd love to get to 12 pounds.

Ironically, omnivores are only half as likely to be B12 deficient than vegans. One fifth of people are b12 deficient and should be taking b12.

Your guests spent the whole interview basically extolling the Mediterranean diet, and yet he himself eats vegan. I wish you would have spent more time discussing why he eats vegan, leaving out the religious aspect of animal rights, and enlightening us all on that.

[@debbiedebbie9473]

What type of B12 did you put into the Essential 8 ? Methylcobalamine I hope, because cyanocobalamin is very difficult for many people to convert into the usable form of B12, Methylcobalamine specifically. Cyanocobalamin actually blocks the receptor sites, and prevents the usable form of B-12 from getting in.

Could you please tell us what macros were used for your High carb studies ? 80 10 10 ? more ? less ? Many studies have been made using 60 20 20 and are described as “high carb” by researchers … and their results are, of course, very different compared to a TRUE high carb 80 10 10 results There MUST BE different results on insulin when we go true high carb.

People who criticise carbs are metabolically broken from ulta processed foods. It has nothing to do witu the carbs are innocent 😅

[@tna-technutamateur8249]

A pretty solid criticism is that most people get the bulk of their carbs from bread. Humans have only eaten grains for not even 1% of their existence. Even whole grain bread spikes the blood sugar of even the most metabolically healthy people. Bread is the proto-ultra processed food we developed. Not healthy for anybody but some can get away with it much longer, some their whole life.

I didnt hear anything new. Sadly, I do see how our govt wastes money on grants. All information is available for years but many dont want to eat healthy.

[@avader5]

Anytime a doctor recommends a meal strategy that is clearly the opposite of what our anthropogenic evolution suggests (carnivore) then clearly his recommendations are not based in science they are based on being captured by the food industry.

[@mikafoxx2717]

Suggesting we are carnivores is unscientific. We likely ate lean meats, nuts, seeds, some greens, fibrous starchy roots, and the like. Native Americans had literal wars over acorn tree lands for its plentiful starchy calorie source..
