Strategies for Fat Burning with Dr. Ben Bikman

[@LimitLessLindy]

770+ lbs down to 270 lbs and still on my journey following a carnivore lifestyle. This works because it gave me the “off switch” I never had. Carbs trigger cravings for me, so best for me to abstain. It’s not for everyone, but for me this works. Not only have I lost weight, but I have healed my mind and body in so many ways. I am enjoying this series, thank you!

I am the same way! Started at 420+ and down to 300. Wanted get to 240 or so. I am not a moderation person. Had to realize I just need to not eat food that is made in factories. Will never go back.

Dr. B. Bruce Lee in Kansas, as a family practice doc in rural America. I see the ravages of reckless insulin swings in my patients who walk in (or are pushed thru the doors in a wheelchair) daily. I love the way you break down the unalterable truths that doom so many of the informational disadvantaged. These people are sold a lie by the industrial complex in which we have entrusted our nutrition for decades. Love, love, love the way you communicate these principles. Thank you and keep spreading the truth.

[@benbikman]

Thanks for your kind comment, Bruce.

[@corteltube]

You are so right. I am just a layperson, but my whole family is diabetic…I am the youngest child and have always been fearful of becoming heavy and diabetic and educated myself early on and I believe reeping the benefits. Won’t say it is easy, just a different type of conditioning I guess I nagged my sister into a low carb diet 🤪 and she reduced her medication significantly. Her doctor kind of poo poos her efforts…but we know it works. Nothing extreme…just most of her high carb intake reduced. I am so proud of her, but it is very difficult to get these simple ideas across to people. We are all so conditioned I guess.

[@mike2959]

The conversation on Lipo is spot on. I had Lipo done. At 225lb 5’10” 50 years I wanted a head start. They sucked out 4.5lbs of fat from my stomach and love handles. 4.5lbs of fat might not sound like much but it is. I knew from Bikman and others to change what I’m eating. Reducing what I’m eating. And insulin if high you CANNOT burn fat. Shortly after Lipo,like the same week. I started fasting. First 24h, then ate 1 meal, then, 48 hours. So for that last 2 years. OMAD, about 1500 calories a day. And once a week skip a day. Today 169lb.

[@cynthiakoan9845]

​@insuliniq Loving this series! I'll be two years carnivore in May, 50lbs down, all the health benefits - BUT, I have another 30-40lbs to go and have been stalled for eight months. I've never tested T2D, but just under even before carnivore. A1C was 5.8 before and now, fasted glucose before and now is around 105 - high for a semi-long-term zero-carb eater. Three doctors mystified, as am I. One doctor says maybe my insulin is still high because my fat is still high (about 32%). I'm drilling down into data, wearing a CGM and getting insulin/A1C tested regularly. My 12-hr fasted insulin runs 9-14 (I've seen it as high as 27 fasted) and my average blood sugar really does stay around 101-5 with a little spike in the morning (dawn effect.) So, while almost two years of carnivore has improved my weight, inflammation, satiety, skin, and overall health (all blood tests are good except insulin/glucose/A1C, all not "alarming" and under T2D levels, but barely. Now taking Metformin as a non-T2D, glucose coming down (averaging 94 in the last 7 days according to CGM, vs 99 for 90 days (including increasing Metformin, started 2/16/23) but 12-hour fasted insulin taken last week was 6.0 (highest it's EVER been tested) and insulin is 14.6. I get now how it's always been so easy for me to gain and keep weight my whole life (age 61, overweight most of that) but now that I'm pretty long-term zero carb (no sugar since I started, NONE) I'm at a loss why my insulin is still so high! I eat twice a day, typical eat when hungry, stop when full, and I have done longer fasts of 3-5 days, which is harder mentally than physically, but WHY IS THIS HAPPENING! My doctor (curious, okay with low-carb, not an expert on carnivore) is mystified and so am I! I'd love any clues! Thank you so much for this series. I feel like I'm taking a high-level intro to metabolic health program in college. Such a gift to the world.

[@jimw6659]

@@cynthiakoan9845Hi, Cynthia. I’m not a doctor, so take this with a pinch of salt, but I’d be asking for some sort of imaging of the pancreas (MRI, etc.), just to make sure there’s no tumour there causing the high insulin. I’d also get full liver and kidney blood tests just to make sure those elements are fine, particularly the liver. I’ve read that the pancreas can take years to repair itself after sustained insulin problems, so maybe it is something that will finally resolve itself in the near future… …or maybe you could just have very high cortisol levels and your body has gone into fight or flight mode and is keeping insulin high to store all the energy it can. That would be my best guess. Still, it sounds like you are on the right path - great weight loss so far. Good luck!

[@KathyPianoHarp]

@cynthiakoan9845​, You could benefit from Dr. Boz's 21-day Metabolic Kickstart class. She'll teach you how to push your metabolism to get past the stalls & lower your insulin so you can continue to lose weight. You also get to ask her questions in the class & get coaching.

Break your fast with lean meats and vegetables with low carb

Didn't he just say to have fat with the protein?? 😂

[@CandiceCarterSinclair]

@@dorireese117lean meat will still contain fat. Animal flesh will always have the combination 👌

[@BoO_Gimmi]

@@CandiceCarterSinclair He specifically says with lean meats, such as chicken, he would suggest adding fats whereas with beef he would not. In many other videos he elaborates on this by saying humans didn't use to eat chicken so much as they ate chicken eggs. Which is a much better source of food, and would be better to break a fast. He says he like to have two hard boiled eggs with salt to break a fast and then wait until that is digested to eat more. Lean meats aren't really the way to go unless fat is added, since protein is better utilized and absorbed with fat. 👌

[@Kimberly-k5g]

@@dorireese117 Yes, lean protein/butter on top or whey protein which you can add milk to instead of water for fat.

[@logiman]

Since I started the carnivore diet four months ago, I have learned so much about nutrition and how not to eat. When I tell friends that fats are OK and even good for you, and that calorie counting is secondary, they just give me a polite 'yeah, right' look. At 62, my generation is firmly stuck on these old, incorrect ideas about nutrition. Even my doctor is not a fan of the low/managed carb diets. Thank you for your work, Ben. I wish the medical community at large would get on board with correct information about nutrition.

[@lifeisbananas]

No one has ever explained it better than this. THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge in such a clear way.

[@glenncivale6824]

About reduction in cravings- I've been low carb (off and on), for decades fighting the normal human diet. My last two adventures being 95% carnivore and currently 13 months. I found that any restrictive low carb diet, most sugar cravings disappear within 48-72 hours. About 75%. It still requires a lot of will power to stay away from glucose fructose etc but gets better with time. I do still have a few small cheats but I'm able to control them. Thank You Ben, your contributions are priceless!

[@indiannaturalfarmer5565]

Try gymnema sylvestre which has some excellent insulin enhancing/sensitising properties, reduces sugar cravings enormously and actually reduces/ slows sugar absorption. A time tested ayurvedic herb for diabetic or pre diabetic patients

[@Zenivore]

Carnivore should cut all cravings if you're sticking to it. Having cheat meals 100% is keeping you from feeling the freedom of no cravings. I'm a HUGE carb and sugar addict and when I switched from keto to Carnivore, my cravings completely disappeared after a few days. Also, dairy products can trigger cravings.

[@michellearchuleta7881]

Congratulations! Wow! That’s so amazing. I’m also a carnivore, carbs are not essential despite the lies we’re told- and taught. I got my MS in nutrition last year and am an RD and we are still being taught that carbs should be 45-65% of our diet. Our brains need glucose etc.. I have been carnivore for over a year, no carbs. I didn’t die and feel great all the time, never hungry because I get what I need. Glad you found the lifestyle, I wish more people could. So much chronic illness in the hospital, so much diabetes, it’s really sad.

[@eric1richards]

I have been consuming anything and everything I can find on this topic. Various other influencers, authors, and like minded friends are my go to conversations as of late. I am a 45 year old male who was in relatively good shape until I turned 40. I woke up to several certain truths and discovered a few things about my health and family history that has motivated me to learn as much as I can about these topics. Watching my parents eat themselves to death and seeing their lazy doctors and nutritionists advise tons of carbs, small squares of chocolate, and prescribing more and more medicines is heartbreaking. What is more infuriating is my dad is a retired physician and my mom is a retired nurse and don’t want to see or listen the new science, the new understanding, and the more profound explanations for why we get sick. Of all the influencers I follow, I really enjoy your lectures and way of communicating this information. Thank you for sharing your time and knowledge with us.

[@personaltrainer1]

Can't express adequately how helpful these lectures have been for me. I am 67 years old, female, and was diagnosed with gestational diabetes with my first pregnancy. At that time, I was told to be careful as I aged because I could be prone to developing diabetes later in life. I just joined Levels and have been wearing a CGM for the past week. It has given me great comfort to see that my insulin is in a basically good, stable range. I am very low carb and eat only whole foods. I also ordered the Hlth meal replacements and am enjoying the satiety of those as well as knowing you had a hand in formulating them. Thank you for all you do to help us all be metabolically healthy.

[@benbikman]

Thank you for all your lectures. I watch/listen with great interest. I’m 75 F, hyperinsulemia 26.3, inflammation, HbA1C 4.8!! So, I’ve been cutting out all inflammatory foods for 90 days (carnivore) and am just adding back in a few foods - half avocado every few days. I’ve been following Jessie Inchauspé (the French scientist) on how to add some carbs with ‘clothing them in protein’. I tried this last evening by eating 4 lamb chump chops, then about 45 mins later, I ate a cheek of fresh mango. There was a slight rise in BG to 5.7mmol/L or 102 mg/dL (I’m wearing a CGM) then dipped to 4.9 or 88 mg/dL, then rose slightly again to 5.3 or 95 mg/dL before falling again to low 4’s or 73 mg/dL for the whole night. Starting weight 112.6 kg and now after 90 days it’s 107.2 kg. So a modest loss of 5.4 kgs. I was watching Prof Bart Kay who says we should have at least one insulin spike per day to keep the kidneys operating correctly. Would you agree with this? I’m a bit confused about this. Many thanks from Brisbane, Australia.

I had RnY gastric surgery 20 years ago. I lost 200, and then gained the majority of it back. I then lost about 150 pounds doing Weight Watchers, and then gained it all back again. Then started resetting my pouch and conditioned my stomach to eat no more than the 4 ounces again, focusing on protein. And this helped me lose about 200 pounds, but I know that I was not eating adequate fat and was still not eating enough protein. And so I know that I lost considerable muscle mass as well. I still have about 25 pounds to lose, and am now doing carnivore for healing and love it. However, I am still struggling to find any information about how much I should really be eating and what I should really be focusing on with my macros in respect to my RnY surgery. If you can help me with any information on this, it would be so much appreciated. I enjoy your channel. Thank you so much.

[@johnk6578]

Congrats on finding carnivore. It’s simply amazing! I’m 66 and male with a body age of 31 per the omron impedance scale. I’m right at one year carnivore. I do track my macros since older people have a tendency to under eat. You should probably track as well. My guess is that you’ll need to eat more frequent smaller meals than the average person in order to get the necessary amount of protein and fat. General advice for the average person may not work for you given your situation so you’re definitely an N=1 in terms of finding out what works for you. You are likely to find others like you in the sbg group that can share what has worked for them. Highly recommended. Your impaired digestive process makes you different. But otherwise, I would think that the recommended macro “minimums” would still apply. I stress minimum because your ability to absorb nutrients might be impaired and as a result your actual minimum could be higher. I’ve seen 0.8 grams per pound of lean body weight as the minimum for protein, though many recommend 1 gram. I’ve seen the fat to protein ratio, in calories not grams, ranging from 2:1 to as high as 8:1 for females. I’m giving you the above as a point of reference so you at least have some idea of what others are doing. Again, you really should find a community where you can talk with others that are dealing with the same thing. I do know the are several people in the sbg (steak and butter gang) like you. They could also give advice on finding a doctor. God bless!

[@PsychoFisho]

Add exercise; 30min vigorous strength training followed by 40min zone 2 cardio, 5x/wk. Carnivore; up your protein/fat to 6 oz, twice daily. The exercise will build back muscle and increase overall metabolism. The restrictive meat/poultry/seafood diet will reduce fat cell size and increase muscle cell size. Plus plenty of deep undisturbed sleep. This is the universal and common sense recipe to become strong, lean and healthy.

The perspective on Lipo is fascinating! I used to think killing off those fat cells is good! I never thought it could cause metabolic problems. I never had liposuction but I did just lose my breasts to breast cancer. Two major fat sources gone. Before my surgery I got back on the keto wagon. After surgery I started trending Ketovore with fasting. I’ve had some horrible energy issues that I am now addressing with more fat to protein and taking a fasting break. I think I am getting there. I am 50 pounds down overall. I can see muscle definition but still need to heal my energy levels and digestion.

I have been cutting out most carbs for 2.5 years, especially sugars. I also went to intermittent fasting 4-5 times a week. I slowly lost 20kg which is not much but then I did never weigh more than 89kg. If I eat carbs only as brown organic rice once in 2 month, dark rye sourdough or whole grain bread. I cut out potatoes and noodles. I only use butter olive oil and coconut fat. I cook all my own food from fresh organic produce eat meat mostly chicken some beef lamb and pork(organic free range). I make my own fermented vegetables. I eat enough and not too much as I feel full after a small meal. No urges as some days when busy I nearly forgot to eat. I do now and then snack a little but have no problems afterwards. I am 75 and needed to lose weight to take pressure off my hips and knees. I am trying to go down a few more kg.

A number of years ago the military decided that waist size was the criteria for PT and if you were not under a certain waist size, you were discharged with no retirement. It did NOT matter is you were 5'-2" or 6'-4", you must meet the waist size. (They only did this for a little before giving people extra chances to lose weight) but my husband was part of the test group and as a tall guy, he was 2 inches over and needed to meet it in the next 4 months. At the time Lipo seemed the only option and worth it if he got to stay in and keep his retirement. It was so crazy, but it did work. Fast forward many years later, post retirement, we found carnivore and he has lost back down to the size he was entering the military, so much healthier! Lipo never helped his health, just allowed him to stay in the military...funny, he never gained the weight right where they tape, so even if he gained other places, he could still pass the tape measurement. What a joke to lean on one tape measure as being physically fit...although he wasn't healthy, he never had to worry about being "physically fit."

[@Indylimburg]

The Army first measures your height and your weight. If your weight is above the threshold for you height, then you have to get taped (unless you can score a 590/600 physical fitness score, then you don't have to tape). The tape measurement is done at two spots: at the neck and the waist. Those two measurements have to be within a certain ratio to pass the tape test. Essentially the smaller you can make your waist and the bigger you can make your next, the better.

Got the sleeve 10 years ago and am still loving it- a lot healthier at a lower weight and those side effects don’t really happen if you are going to someone reputable

[@nannygranny9534]

Thank you so much!!! I so needed the steps spelled out. I am a person who never feels satiated. I am always hungry so trying to sustain even a keto diet is difficult. I put weight literally over night and it will take me a couple of weeks to get it back off.

[@missygee6155]

Increase your fat and protein intake!! Avoid all "keto" foods and treats, all packaged foods.

[@nannygranny9534]

@@missygee6155 Thank you so much!! Starting again tomorrow.

[@UMS9695]

This is the best explanation that I have come across! The mechanisms of fat loss and how food affects insulin is crystal clear as I am able to relate it to my experiences. Thanks a ton Dr. Bikman 🙏 Could you also do an episode on the different approaches reduce visceral fat?

[@bennettlewis5495]

Really good recommendations, though notably absent was the importance of fiber in managing insulin sensitivity. It's only indirectly referenced, and probably merits a direct references aa an important component of managing insulin sensitivity.

[@danielgleason5586]

Wonderful explanation on losing fat. I use the keto diet and carnivore diet to keep my insulin levels low. Thank you Doctor Bikman . Wonderful presentation

[@LS-kf1ez]

Dr Bickman you are the BEST!! Thank you for your seemingly unending knowledge!! 💕🙏

[@ritaedde5393]

Excellent explanation! Thank you very much Dr Bikman.

[@Carnivoreteacher1965]

I love you, Professor Bikman! I really do! I look forward to listening to your lessons! Much Respect for you, SIR. Thank you for all that you do to teach us.

[@Lookalivefitness]

Professor you save my life ...I learned from your teachings about insulin controlling insulin is key to health and weight loss and that was the key to everything and now I am 42 but I feel like a 20 year old.

[@lindabirmingham603]

Excellent lecture Professor! I would add that fruits might not be good for those with carb addictions as the fructose increases dopamine, triggering wanting more. Also, veg can cause constipation in those with IBS.

[@patrickh709]

Following the Carnivore lifestyle as close as possible, IMO, is the best way of eating.

[@Aiebd829]

Couldn't agree more. Lost 105 pounds in 6 months while eating until comfortablely stuffed once a day of just steak and eggs

[@Natlar]

Thank you so much for the information you bring to all.

Thank you so much for this piece of knowledge, explanation in simple way!🎉

[@simonwiltshire7089]

Thank you Ben. I have learned so much. Your teaching approach and delivery is very rare. Amazing.

[@sugarbabyangel479]

Wow! What a fantastically educational video. Thank you so much Dr Bikman!!!! ❤

[@AshGreen359]

So what we need is a liposuction of visceral fat. Sounds a lot riskier, but if successful perhaps will reduce the demand for more storage?

[@nitareed4088]

NGL...I am a fan...was very happy to find this channel.

[@LaVV-w1k]

Interesting and practical! Where do you come down on red light and reduction of insulin?

Awesome Dr. Bikman! I love learning from you! Your HLTH code shakes are great. Such high quality ingredients and they taste so good. Thank you 😊

[@wes2262]

I’ve spent years trying to out excerise a bad diet and it never worked. Diet is truly 95% of the equation

[@UnCoolDad]

I wish more people like yourself would just come out and say it. You have to be in a calorie deficit to lose fat. No two ways about it. Granted, how that deficit it calculated can be complex and nuanced, but the fact remains. Controlling hunger is of course critical to staying in a deficit, and even eating at maintenance for the rest of your life to keep it off.

[@CarnivoreScott]

Wow, like number 1000, and comment 100. Today is going to be a great day. I'm starting with gospel songs on my mind and Dr. B!! LOVE the content, thank you!!!

[@benbikman]

Thanks for commenting, Scott.

[@MrNareshdang]

Awesome job done by you.

[@cherylmcduff5388]

I’m struggling a bit. Can’t seem to get my blood glucose down. Can’t afford a monitor as here in NZ they cost over 90 dollars for the sensor. I live on the pension so that’s 50 per week just for that. I do the finger prick one instead and this time around am finding it extremely difficult even with fasting to get BG down. I stay under 20 gms carbs fast 18 hours exercise sometimes twice a day and yesterday my levels were 6.5mmol. Feel quite disappointed. Have done keto many times so not new at it. Help!! I love Prof Bikman Have listened to his podcasts for many years now. Thank you for your dedication and hard work.

[@benbikman]

[@shieh.4743]

With support, you could try a more moderate protein, keto diet - rather than a higher protein diet. If I eat more than 65grams of protein a day (I weigh 70kg) my blood sugar increases and takes forever to come back down. This is worst during my cycle too, so hormones are clearly playing a role for me. I've had to stop a fully carnivore style diet and bring in macadamia nuts and coconut to get a higher fat content/lower protein relationship.

[@JanPLopez993]

Great teaching! Thank you Dr. Bikman!

@Dr. B, I am so excited about your new book! Why We Get Sick was a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing your wealth of information in a way everyone can understand it!

[@thezedkay]

When we are eating saturated fat, do we have to worry about how much we consume with each meal? Excellent lecture!

[@ytubechannel997]

Really interesting info that is well presented. Thank you!

[@cookingketowithlee5001]

Very interesting lecture today. Thank you!

[@nazakmalekan3664]

Loved this episode! Thanks for sharing.

[@karinmcknight8879]

So how should you end a fast?

[@yhmproperties]

Such a great episode! I'd love to see you address cavitation and Cryo-slimming. I know they both target subcutaneous fat (supposedly destroy those fat cells) but is this and Lipo a bad thing if you also change your lifestyle to reduce the visceral fat? Many have already done this and I think it would be a great thing to address. Thank you!

[@kihusudethro]

Thank you for your great videos, sir.
