REVIEWING Mark Sisson: The Truth About The Carnivore Diet Interview (HIGHLIGHTS) - Doctor Reacts

[@peacewithHim]

Dr. Westman, I so appreciate your compassion for those whose income limits food choices and your commitment to teaching them healthy food choices within those parameters. You are a hero.

[@cynicg]

I do carnivore because I'm in pain and depressed if I don't. Cheating is not a treat, it's a punishment.

[@doncastella2814]

I appreciate Dr Westman's intellectual honesty and his vast experience with Ketogenic lifestyle for reversing type 2 diabetes and obesity. He is truly a giant in this metabolic health sphere.

[@Miraak1868]

Speaking of "addiction", I quit smoking March 16, 1979. From time to time I still insanely crave to smoke a cigar which, of course, I never will. But I proved to myself that "addiction" can be never ending. Interesting.

[@carnivore-muscle]

Over 4 years into the carnivore diet as a bodybuilder, works a treat!

[@lvgirl9405]

I did Adkins a long time ago (Dr. Adkins was still alive). I ate mostly meat. I did have salads with a lot of meat. I lost weight and my cholesterol was 127. That's when I knew they had it wrong about cholesterol. I was eating everything they said would raise my cholesterol (bacon, butter, steak, etc), but it went down.

Mark looks amazing, I discovered his website about ten years ago and that put me on the right health path. So I’m glad he’s doing well.

I agree. Can't seem to leave a comment . Find it funny Dr axe will even discuss carnivore.on the doctors show attacked and made fun of people who did it

[@CatholicNonno]

While I'm glad Mark Sisson is being promoted here, I have to say, I'm not a fan of Dr. Axe. Hes had more than a few conflicting diet theme 'shows' on PBS. He comes across as a bit of a huckster, like most who shill on public television.

[@Damcarnivore]

This is the only time I seriously can’t agree. Just knowing how the industrial seed oils are made makes it obvious that they are extremely bad for us and there doesn’t need to be any studies that can’t prove causation any way.

[@scottdanielson4816]

I agree. I avoid seed oils like the plague. I've heard it said that they may even be worse for your health than smoking cigarettes. 🚬 I don't think Dr Westman would say it's okay to occasionally have a cigarette.

Yes! That's why they are used in most every dressing...they are cheap. It's all about money. So frustrating even so called "healthy" products first ingredient is seed oil.

Yaaay for Dr Westman. There are many diet/nutrition "gurus" (in every point on the nutrition spectrum, from squeaky-clean vegan to bloody-fanged carnivore) who talk so fast it's hard to fully grasp any point they're making. By the time I understand one aspect of their ideas, they've thrown 3 more at me. They're like car salesmen. And they tend to use jeering and personal attacks when they run out of facts and evidence. So I am very appreciative of Dr Westman's slow, methodical, friendly, un-manipulative way of explaining things. When he tackles a topic, I'm reasonably sure I'll finish the video actually knowing more than when I started, and probably won't feel confused or mistrustful. I suppose you could call it an Academic approach vs Proselytizing.

[@rawmilkmike]

@MsLeenite Since when is veganism squeaky clean? When pontus pilot washed his hands, they didn't actually come clean. And who are they? On the science side, I know one guy who talks fast and one guy who likes to insult. In between, you have a bunch of testimonials and a few scientists. Now, on the faith-based side, you may have to use the word they. Any youtube channel will have to sell something. But the believers require supplementation. While people eating real (environmentally friendly) food don't.

[@toddboucher3302]

Mark diet was my gateway to keto then carnivore. Carnivore heal food addiction and mental health issues. I said it healed my food addiction but one day I had a handful of blueberries and I don’t. It just opened up the door to going out and getting an ice cream so still a work in progress.

[@thelastboomer9088]

I hear that. Been on carnivore since Jan 1, 2024 and wife complained this weekend that we never go out for ice cream anymore. I relented and we went. Afterwards, I had a serious crash, was nauseous and come home and slept for over an hour. Won’t do that again. I’ve lost 40 pounds since the first of the year, generally feeling great and back in clothes I haven’t fit into for over 15 years.

Thanks Dr. Westman! I've been back and forth in the low carb realm for almost 15 years and have allowed myself to get pulled off track over and over again by various things that ultimately end up reversing my efforts. I appreciate the reminder that we can't pretend that we're already metabolically flexible before we've actually reversed our metabolic issues and are sustaining a healthy state. I think this is a key. I have to stop letting those "life events" sabotage my efforts.

[@Sedona8101]

The problem for many is addictive personalities. These men probably have never been addicted to substances. I know how good I felt on keto but addiction is a huge problem. I was faithful keto and love this lifestyle. I lost 55lb and was so healthy... until Thanksgiving 2yrs ago. Wanting to please the family (I always cook for the holidays and cooked them keto for 2 yrs previously) I gave in to their requests for a traditional Thanksgiving dinner. That set me off into my addictions. Ever since I've not been able to overcome. I wake up saying "today will be the day" and some days it is,until those foods come into my path. It's an obsession that I give in to. I even have gone carnivore hoping it would stop the obsessions. It hasn't worked and I'm at a loss. I love the keto life and want it back so bad

[@michelep.7249]

Read Proteinaholic by Garth Davis and The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet by Donald Hensrud. Able to lose 30 pounds and keep it off for 3 years by following The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet. Also Proteinaholic talks about how a whole foods diet full of fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans and less meat and fat is more likely to lead to lasting weight loss than the keto diet. Garth Davis is a barbaric surgeon and all his patients have tried the keto diet without having any long term success staying on the keto diet.

[@jimwit8090]

I have trouble with the term "addictive personality" does it really exist. Hard to change your personality. Sounds like "people pleasing' was more the problem?

[@michelep.7249]

Bright Line Eating book by Susan Pierce Thompson might be for you. She cuts out ultra processed food, flour and sugar, but to my knowledge doesn't cut out carbs found in beans and other whole grains. She is an acknowledged food addict and by cutting out the foods mentioned has been able to lose weight and keep it off. She has an online food camp you can join and also has a cookbook where she measures and weighs her food to keep her calories ideal. I think it is impossible to stay off carbs for a long time, but sticking with whole unprocessed carbs found in beans and whole grains is ideal.

[@saddlelac]

Dr axe’s mother had extreme leaky gut which was the initial reason he has researched nutrition so much

[@MsLeenite]

Thank you, Dr Westman. I was not impressed with the couple of Primal Kitchen products I tried, and I understand that Mark Sisson sold the company a few years ago. However, I know that he took his business success and spun it into sponsorship and promotion for low-carb conferences and events across the USA, and assisted or sponsored other projects to make info on "real food" eating more widely available. So I agree with you that he's an ally to the low-carb community, and his opinions are worth listening to, but an individual should evaluate what he's saying in light of whether his goals, purposes and lifestyle are comparable to their own.

[@Thanatos2996]

I do mean this with all due respect, Dr. Westman, but I think you may be underestimating how much of an issue seed oils pose. Yes, sugar and carbs are important, but the reason he’s focusing on the seed oils as well is because (as he said) the seed oils may be an even larger issue overall. I get why you focus more on carbs, but I don’t think that it’s a bad thing for him to also be addressing the most ubiquitous poison in our food supply. As with everything related to nutrition, the hard science is lacking beyond the biochemistry, but these things did not exist through the course of our evolution and demonstrably cause issues in the body.

[@randyjnaron]

I appreciate Dr. Westman, however, he needs to talk with Bart Kay or Dr. Berry about the dangers of seed oils. It’s not something to ignore.

[@kaakrepwhatever]

It's not natural to constantly monitor and chart everything about your life. The goal should be to develop a healthy lifestyle that agrees with your body. Charting and microanalyzing everything you eat on a perpetual basis is more like an eating disorder than a normal human diet.

Eating clean keto will automatically reduce or eliminate industrial seed oils. Most processed food (carbs) come chock full of industrial seed oils. I can’t think of any clean keto that contains seed oils. If you can’t afford clean keto, probably some processed met comes with industrial seed oils. Dr. Chris Knobe makes a good case that industrial seed oils are a huge contributor to many of the diseases of civilization. Macular degeneration among those. Since macular degeneration runs in my family, I am making every effort to avoid industrial seed oils.

[@KeepingItReal321]

You might need a lot more fat in your diet. And less protein. We only need about 20-30% of calories as protein (max). Those with renal issues might need to reduce that protein to lower levels. If you’re eating lean meats, you might be stressing your kidneys too much. Eat fattier cuts of meats, or add other animal based fats like butter, ghee, cream, tallow, lard, etc, (to remain animal based/ carnivore) and/or add avocados, coconut oil or olive oil to remain mostly carnivore. But the key is more fat and less protein, especially if your kidneys have limited function. Not medical advice; check with your own medical practitioner for personal medical advice.

Consider the source is the right phrase. Of all the MD's spouting diet advice on youtube I give no special attention to someone who says he is a Md. They are often just as confused and conflicted as any other. But some seem way ahead of the others. It has often been repeated that doctors get very little training in the area of food and nutrition so the experts must get their information from somewhere else. Additional reading and training , personal experience? Then the dilemma is to decipher how legitimate and trustworthy that information is. To me this is the key question,,, who do I believe? Dr. Westman has described his early experience with low carb as an association with Dr. Atkins and then being one of the authors of a later Atkins book. So I am wondering this. How does Dr. Westman feel about the modern Atkins program? I see it has three tiers, 20g/day, 40g/day and 100g/day since not all of these Atkins programs fit the good dostors recommendations.

[@robinbeers6689]

Dr. Westman, I respectfully disagree about the importance of industrial seed oils. Don't fall into the timidity trap of waiting for studies before taking a stand. Anything that has hexane in it doesn't belong in a human diet. We don't need studies to see this. Saying that it is only a little bit of hexane is silly.

Not being a physician does not automatically mean somebody's opinion is wrong. That is the appeal to authority argument. Most actual physicians don't understand what a good diet or nutrition is in the first place...being an actual medical doctor does not automatically make somebody correct either...the only thing that matters is what is being said, not the qualifications of the person saying it... Doctors try to bullshit you with the stupid qualifications argument, which automatically is supposed to mean: "this guy is not a doctor, so don't listen to him...stupid argument.

[@neilnewinger3059]

I think that there is one single superfood. The meat (including organ meat) and the best is beef. It makes perfect sense. It contains all the chemicals our bodies contain as well. And in the proper ratios. We need only break it down mechanically by chewing it and chemically using enzymes into basic compounds. It doesn't contain any toxins if it is properly raised unlike plants, which contain thousands of completely foreign chemicals let alone many antinutrients or downright toxins. What is the optimal diet? I would define it as a diet consisting of all nutrients we need to survive and thrive. At the same time it should be a diet we can most efficiently process and digest. Could that be a plant based diet? The diet that has to consist of many different plants in order to get all necessary nutrients most likely in suboptimal ratios? And even then we find out that we have to supplement at least B12 and still feel miserably having some autoimmune issues. Can we process and digest plants most efficiently? We actually digest only parts of them and a big chunk ends up in our colon to feed our microbiome, that ferments it partially offering a small benefit for us in the form of fatty acids. The fact is, that unlike our relatives chimps and gorillas we can easily survive for decades without our colons. Many cases of people with surgically removed colons prove it. So digesting plant food is certainly not optimal for us. this ability is just an additional advantage in case of meat shortage and starvation. The optimal diet is a meat based diet. It contains everything we need and we process it efficiently even without the use of our colon and microbiome with very little waste.

I know one influencer that claims that his diet is “keto” but also says that the goal of his keto diet is not nutritional ketosis and recommends that people don’t measure ketones. These influencers just use the word keto to make money and they need to be debunked. Please teach them that they need to call their diets “low carb” and not keto unless the diet puts them in ketosis.

You are wrong on many levels. Not everyone needs to be in ketosis. You can be on keto diet and still be kicked out of ketosis on daily basis with OMAD type of eating, which you want for kidney function. If you eat human appropriate diet - seafood, fatty meat, if you tolerate eggs you don't need to measure anything! Secondly, it's measuring ketons that it's making money! Those sticks are expensive, £1 per one. BTW I do both, OMAD most of the time carnivore, sometimes keto (some onion, some cabbage, occasionally in season local piece of fruit) and out of curiosity I measure all I can. CGM, ketons, blood tests - lots and expensive. If someone is healing or dealing with serious health problems it's only amount of protein they need to know - around 20%, the rest fat and also they don't need to measure anything! After refeeding, nourishing period introduce IF. Only very sick should care about ketosis and following above will give them that. No measuring required. I know that from experience and extensive learning of last decade.

This book taught me how to measure portion sizes and to eat a serving of fruit with every meal and a serving of nonstarchy vegetables with every meal.

[@margomoore4527]

I think the term “carb addict” is thrown around rather freely. My husband and I live within our chosen parameters at home, but our social life consists of maybe four familial get-togethers per year. Our family is not critical of our choices and makes an effort to ensure that they offer something we will eat. They know we’ll eat the meat. If they offer a salad, I don’t expect it to be organic, and I accept that the dressing probably contains sugar and canola oil. That affects two days in a whole year; the other days are on us, and we take family out and they can have what they want, and we make the healthiest choices possible. If I have a (small) piece of pumpkin pie at Thanksgiving, I know I won’t have pie again until Easter. Why would a few Tablespoons of pie filling (I don’t eat the crust) a la mode lead to a return to excess carbs.? It just doesn’t have to be that way.

Thanks for the content and analysis always appreciated. However seed oils definitely need to be top of the dont use list and are according to nearly all of the best in health and nutrition field on the web. Production using industrial petro chemicals, high heat treatments, adding back rubbish for taste and flavour, followed by oxidation is why. They are not natural and totally contra to human diet. Just saying, you dont talk about them to your patients as they cant afford alternatives is plain wrong and a disservice. If they cant do without some seed oils in mayonnaise early on in their healthier eating routine then ok but dont ignore. Hopefully as their diet improves they will feel the negative effects of the oils and cut them slowly to zero. There are alternative good fats for cooking so tell them to restrict the seed oils at least and tell them they are in just about every processed food on the market and one of the major cause of health issues.

"ancestral" health? Very good information regarding modern science and measurable outcomes/observable science. However, to be true, very little is known about humans pre-10k years ago. There are huge quantum leaps of speculation used to come to these theoretical ideas about pre-history. I find it unfortunate that the same correlation-based reasoning that the promoters of the "food- pyramid" paradigm engage in is being used by the ones who shouldn't have to resort to the same faulty basis for our present reality

[@robinbeers6689]

Actually quite a lot is known about pre-Neolithic humans. Look up stable isotope studies.

I am pretty much Mark's age, I look better. I'll trust my views more than his 😆

[@Neolifeketoshari]

oof, Dr. Axe is a no go for me! He promotes, just had one ad on FB, for many high carb foods and highly inflammatory foods. He is all about selling his "supplements". I know a few folks that really like him, but their health is no better for listening to him, and his advice always sounds sketchy to me. I stay far away from him and Berg! I am not too much about Mark Sisson either, though I would say he is above Axe and Berg.

Which one is Sisson?

​@cassieoz1702 I suppose it could be youtube doing it for him. Someone is deleting and hiding comments.

You come across as idolizing medical backgrounds and 'qualifications' as a way to determine the value of a person's opinions, intelligence etc. I find this kind of intellectual snobbery to be a huge problem. I've met amazing people, and absolute idiots, in every discipline, across every culture, every category. I pay very little attention to what people present to me as their 'qualifications' and actually listen to their thoughts and watch what they DO. Can't watch any more of your videos because they are simply too derivative.

[@gailm.8190]

This opinion was interesting to me, too, given the immense influence and popularity of a few non-physician/PhD scientists in this community, and the dogmatic, opinion masquerading as fact, one eating style cures everything approach of some MDs (IMO) in this community. All sources need to be taken with a grain of salt, I think one has to do their own research and do it broadly, and credentials and high subscriber views do not mean all the information presented is right or right for you.

Great info. Love Dr. Westman videos. 1:01:36 "it's never been easier to do a low carb or keto diet ." Yeah. Just do it.

[@ruthbiafora5443]

Dr. Weston is pure class. I also do love Mark Sisson and have a deep deep respect for Dr. Josh Ax. Regenerative agriculture is the answer and no sugar.💪🏻🥩💪🏻👍🏻

[@aztonyusa]

Sorry I disagree with Dr Westman on not pointing out to not use vegetable and seed oils. It should at least be mentioned it's something to avoid if and when a person can. Just like not everyone can afford organic grass fed meats. You tell people just do what you can afford but at least mention it.

[@RogerMimi-yq2ny]

Just need to know if seed oils villified bc of soil malnutrition or the processing of the seeds

[@aztonyusa]

@@RogerMimi-yq2ny Because of how they are highly processed and the chemicals used to make oils out of vegetables. The depletion of nutrients in the soil is why it's recommended to take electrolytes and supplements like iodine.

Just watched your video on dropping the nuts/nut butters, spot on. One box the nuts tick off for me is the crunch. It seems I want to chew something allllllll day, I’m not hungry (I started daily IF a month and a half ago, usually 16/8, sometimes longer fasts, sometimes shorter) and love it. Wd love to see a video addressing that constant “wanting” “something” Love your work

[@kaakrepwhatever]

I saw a video not long ago (forget who made it) that said your body will stop craving food after you have eaten enough protein. If you have the munchies between meals, you should have eaten more meat at the last meal. My boyfriend used to eat rice, vegetables, meat. Then he would sit down after supper with a big bag of potato chips. We both stopped snacking when eating much larger portions of meat during meals.
