Feel compelled to comment on the issue of alcohol which was only briefly mentioned, but affects so many people. I am a 62 year old woman who was secretly drinking most days in the afternoon- not massive amounts but enough to know it was not good for me. I also suffered from many years of painful gut issues. Once I changed to low carb eating, my guts recovered and to my total surprise I nolonger felt the need to secretly drink alcohol everyday. It took 3weeks to break the habit of visiting my secret stash, but it was manageable by distraction techniques. My life is transformed and my marriage relationship greatly improved along with many other health benefits of eating low carb / unprocessed.

Congratulations, Annette! 👏👌 Regarding the alcohol issue, if you ever find cravings slipping in, please look at my playlist (under "Alcohol") and watch the first 3 or so videos addressing biochemical repair. It worked wonders for me when I was drinking (quite heavily but functioning😌) and trying to quit. Now, I don't even consider it an option even when around others drinking in front of me. Hope you find it useful. 🙏😉✌️

My husband and I were carboholics and went to a low carb diet about a year and a half ago, with the last 8 months mostly carnivore way of eating. He healed his fatty liver disease and joint pain and I healed my 30 year history of fibromyalgia, bladder pain, and IBS. There were times when we would do a cheat day and we both agreed it wasn't worth it, as we felt like crap afterwards. It took several months, but now neither of us are interested in eating carbs anymore. Like Annette, I also used to drink daily, but have lost interest in that as well. I was shocked when I discovered that the fiber from fruits and veg were the cause of my chronic constipation, bloating, and gas. Even small amounts of fructose triggers me to want to eat more, and the cravings sometimes last for a few days. When we go out to eat, we just eat meat. No problem at all.

I like the statement "I could be wrong" it is a honest scientific approach. To many times we bring about what we think about. Research expecting discovery can limit Research.

[@joanwilson4491]

There is nothing remotely hard about being on a low carb diet whether you're at home, office , or on the road. A tiny bit of planning, some smart easy pack foods...once you see what low carb can do for your body and brain, no one can induce you to eat junk. Excuses are cheap.

[@LiberationSeeker101]

That's interesting that another nephrologist also took a similar route, Dr. Jason Fung; specializing in kidney disease and now is heavily into diabetes and obesity research (wrote The Obesity Code and The Diabetes Code, among others). It's so good to see so many smart minds connecting the same dots!👌🙏✌️

[@jamesalles139]

Interesting point: A low-carb diet also has the effect of eliminating the majority of processed frankenfood. That can avoid a whole bunch of the processed/refined seed oils, if you are paying attention.

[@christopherspavins9250]

Excellent historical perspective. Thirty years, hence, was an enlightening discussion.

[@Tee667]

I’m very suspicious when anyone says ‘we can make a drug to do or block xyz!’

[@lindathullm.d.1121]

Don't be. Be curious. Our scientific technology, many times, can correct Mother Nature's deleterious mechanisms🤔

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

​@@lindathullm.d.1121mother nature has no deleterious mechanisms...

[@dougsmith3942]

Geat interview learned a lot

[@IQTech61]

I hope that you are right - but at this time, we are heading towards a huge pandemic of diabetes and its associated diseases like kidney failure.

[@zillahbugeja8973]

Richard do you have insight on food intolerances?

[@olgashubayeva3462]

Great info!!!😮

[@dougsmith3942]

Great

[@АннаБирюкова-я3ь]

😊❤

[@jlawr4427]

What medication is he talking about to inhibit weight gain?

[@mr8966]

Newsflash - the climate won’t stop changing.

[@JaFooks]

Fructose as in Fructose from fruits or High Fructose Corn syrup?

[@kathya1956]

Drugs drugs drugs. These guys can’t help it

[@jeff911rn99]

Lost me when he started down the " climate change " load of crap. Good bye.

[@emh8861]

Well he’s not God . Can’t know everything 🤷🏽‍♀️.

[@haystack1739]

He only nicked on obesinigenics and the fact that environment is behind weight gain like microplastics and exposure to diesel exhaust particulates. This Doctor is brilliant!

[@ladycactus110]

Thanks for warning me. I can click off immediately. It’s so disheartening when educated people spout that nonsense. Bye.

[@fiddlestyx21]

Yes. The climate change is garbage. I stopped listening right there.

[@AynRandfan1957]

So disappointing to have this brilliant man selling out ( possibly as a result of research grants ) to link climate change and obesity! ‘Heat stress causing people to drink sugar drinks’! Really! Give me a break. You have lost me.

[@stuarthayner]

Doesn’t really disclose his drug patents. This is suspect.

[@proudchristian77]

No He doesn't, He wants us to be loving & gentle & honest , & safe to be around, helper's , if we don't pig ut & move around 🚴‍♀️ we don't wear our food , or eat things that want's to stay , veggies feed u & go , fish feeds us & goes , cake feeds you & stays ! How we get heavy , 🎂🍨🍪🍩🍫🥧

[@proudchristian77]

Bible stuff is happening, someone knows us very well , & u can tell, why He's giving us more time ! 💝 💒👣👑🎁🌎 we're sapossed to share God with others , why we do , hey people's, He's alive as much as we are & He love us & we can trust Him , but follow His rules ok , 💝💒

[@jellybeanvinkler4878]

Not sure about all the stuff you're going on about. But you forgot bread....that's where the devil resides for me.

[@EnergyDiscoveries]

I don't understand why he is mixing the environment with climate change.
