Things You Need to Know to Lose Fat - Weight Loss with Doctor Mike

Did you know that type 2 diabetes can be reversed with dietary changes?
And did you know that it can be done not by changing how much you eat, but by changing what you eat. Changes in food composition instead of quantity accomplishes this. Specifically it’s a very low carb diet, better known as the ketogenic diet.
What's the most important thing in losing fat?
Calorie balance is the most important element in weight loss. As the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention puts it: “If you are gaining weight, you are eating more calories than your body is using.” Calories play a big role in controlling your weight

I and my husband, both in late 70s eat unprocessed food. We grow hydroponic veg on our unit terrace, mostly greens and tomatoes and capsicum. We eat early in the evening so we actually fast for 14-16 hrs depending on our breakfast time. We both exercise and both have lost our Covid weight gain, around 4kgs each as our exercise venues were closed for 2 yrs so we were reduced to walking. Our sugar treat is non dairy dark chocolate of an evening, 6 squares max. We are healthy even though we have age related body issues but insides are A1.

Have gone from 160lb to 134lb on keto diet and NO processed food. To maintain, modified keto by adding more fiber and plant based food (less red meat)More fermented foods. Have felt better and kept weight same. Eat within 8 hr window all I want. I don’t get hungry.

Great. Keep it up. Just be careful when you get to you ideal weight. On Keto you gain it back as quickly as you lose if start eating carb. I lost 55 lbs on Keto but gained 40 again in only two months. Going back on it again. It is a great feeling when you keep losing, good luck my dear.

@@Marta_is_here to lose weight on keto ie to put my body into a state of ketosis, I had a daily intake of 21g carbs a day. I was starving all day and couldn’t eat hardly any of the fruit and veg I love. I lost a stone and a half in 2-3 weeks and put most of it back on when I resumed normal eating - still healthy though. My stomach felt good on it because I’m carb-sensitive but my belly fat increased on the diet. I’m menopausal and belly fat is the very last thing I need when I’m struggling with menopausal belly, not to mention to cancerous aspect. Also the undue pressure on the liver worried me. It is such an imbalanced diet I don’t see how the Doctor can be recommending it.

My internist always pushes the keto diet. I've lost 20 pounds by staying under a recommended calories on MyFitnessPal. I just try to lose 1/2 pound a week. If I stay under the calories, then I lose weight. If I don't stay under the calories, then I don't lose weight. If I go over the calories too much, then I'll regain weight. Recently added in exercising & bumped up some sugar intake. Sugar helps give me a bit of extra energy to move, then the exercise is helping me to improve my stamina. So... I try to use the sugar bump for the walking / jogging program. I'm not trying to lose weight from the exercise. -- I can try some more keto style meals, but doing keto is too much restriction.

If you need bread, try Ezekiel bread. It’s sprouted whole grains so it’s minimally processed.

Cutting out salt and sugar as much as possible, and trying to eat less processed foods and not eating fast food at all.

I've stopped eating beef as I have found it really makes it hard for me to digest what I eat and I don't physically feel good after eating it.

So how are you so sure the improvement is due to the lack of carbs and not due to the sustained caloric deficit? Switching to a plant-based (i.e. mostly carbs) diet has the exact same effect. So does living off junk food from the convenience store, while strictly maintaining a caloric deficit a la Mark Haub. Even ED patients put on the "potato diet" (eating nothing but potato for a couple of weeks) experience the exact same effects despite eating nothing but carbs. Disappointing.

No, there is no caloric deficit. On a keto diet you will replace carbs with FAT, not protein. 1g of carbs contains 4 calories, 1g of fat contains 9 calories. Do the math... You do not count calories on a keto diet because you are modulating hormones and not calories. A lot of the replacements for carb foods will be quite caloric., so...

If your weight loss has stalled you may want to try adding intermittent, or preferably extended, fasting to your lifestyle.

There is a KZbin channel and a book called mastering diabetes and basically they say that a diet should be high in fruits and even starchy vegetables and whole grains so long as the diet contains low low fat.

Evidently they say That on a low fat diet a person can eat a lot of fruit and starchy vegetables and grains without blood sugar spikes. Is there any truth to this?

[@montycora]

That makes no sense! GLUCOSE is what causes diabetes, not fat! Why are you going to limit the ONLY nutrient that does not raise insulin? Insulin resistance is caused by too much carb. You do understand that the body stores excess glucose as fat, right? The fat in the equation of insulin resistance is endogenous and not dietary.

Isn’t vegetables carbs?!?

[@montycora]

Some of them, not all. As fiber is not digested, it doesn't not count in the carb count. The only veggies you need to avoid are the starchy ones, beet and carrot, eat in moderation and the rest is mostly ok. You can eat up to 50g of carbs daily, but you need to check your carb sensitivity, cause some people will get kicked out of ketosis with less than that.

Mike actually you do not understand. My glucose level yesterday all day was 80-85. Keto level just 0.1. I use 3rd source of energy. Looks like.

[@montycora]

Your keto level was 0.1mmol??? That is not keto, keto is above 0.5mmol...

[@arambarsamian6312]

Beans/lentils are the foods most associated with longevity. The number one risk factor for having a stroke is not eating enough fruit. Even with leafy greens, dietary fiber intake on a ketogenic diet would be abysmal - which would be terrible for the microbiome. Red meat is a class-two carcinogen. Going on this diet is a terrible idea. It does not cure diabetes (curing diabetes would be eating normally, without having to restrict carb intake, and having healthy insulin levels) and it increases CVD and cancer risk. I am disappointed that no mention of this was made in this video.

[@montycora]

If you no longer need to take medication for a condition because your body is functioning as it should, that sounds like a cure to me....

[@arambarsamian6312]

@@montycora actually, the body would not be functioning as it should. It *should* be able to process carbohydrates with no problem. But it isn’t able to do so. Eliminating or severely limiting carbohydrates isn’t fixing the problem - it is avoiding the problem *and* creating additional problems by eliminating or limiting the thousands of beneficial, health- and longevity-promoting nutrients found in whole plant foods. Its analogous to *curing* the inability to swim by avoiding large bodies of water. Solving the problem of being unable to swim would be learning how to swim. In other words, achieving carbohydrate tolerance.

@@arambarsamian6312 - Hmm, do you know that you CAN eat plants on a keto diet??? But coming back to your point, yes, keto FIXES it. What happens with insulin resistance? Well, the body can longer manage the amount of glucose in the blood. Cells are flooded with it and no matter how much insulin is applied, they won't absorb it. Do you know what keto does? For one, until your body runs out of glucose, it will consume the excess glucose in the blood, then the glucose stored in the liver and then the glucose stored in the glycogen in your muscles. Ok, no more glucose coming from food, the body will struggle a bit to understand what's going on, you will fee bad for a bit until the body learns what to do, burn fat for fuel. So all the glucose you need will be made in your own body and the rest fat and ketones will be used. So, after some 2 months like this, all your mitochondria will change into fat fueled mitochondria and everything will go back to normal, you don't need more meds or extra insulin. After some months like this, if you want to introduce healthy carbs and you know you can control yourself, you can. The big problem is that people don't know how to eat sensibly and they go back to the old habits that cause them diabetes in the first place. So keto WILL solve the problem, but afterwards you can't expect to go back to old ways without facing the same consequences.

@0:11 you said instead of quality but meant quantity, but at the very end you did say/mean quality. also @4:30 you suggest low fat poultry, but high fat is bettter b/c fat keeps you feeling full and doesnt raise inslulen (PS didnt really care for this view w/your belt...)

[@RaymondDay]

It's mainly one word Sugar. That is why we got to breath and that's why when you work out have to breath harder. The oxygen mixes with the sugar and make energy for us. Carbohydrates your body converts the sugar. Almost every chemical reaction needs oxygen including us to get energy. Too much sugar turns to fat and then you can use that as energy. Thank you for this video very good.

That’s not true I lost 100lbs in 10 months and I did have bologna, hot dogs, bacon

[@xyzzy7145]

dropped 120lbs in 9 months about 1.5 years ago. still fast 16 to 18hrs per day eating low carb. This stuff works. But I think there is more to the story, as the relationship between different levels of exercise and fuel types (carbs, fats) hasn't been studied enough. Our ancestors were much more active than we are. I think that if you live a sedentary life, you should aim for zero carbs. If you live an active life and physically work hard, carbs may be necessary. But as Dr. Mike says, the key thing is avoid the over-processed foods: these are engineered to be addicitive and have no nutritional value. Our grocery stores sell mostly poison.

[@IndigoAwakener]

Agree

[@JackFalltrades]

I would find it difficult to follow this diet. I would constantly worry about my cholesterol and imagine fat clogging my arteries. The medical community and the government have done a great job of brain washing me for the last 50+ years!

[@montycora]

Then don't eat cholesterol rich foods! Keto diet = limit carb consumption to below 50g, the rest you can fill as you see fit...

[@geeache1891]

How lucky you are having a spare 29 lbs to loose.

[@stevenyoung3288]

Some types of type 2 can be reversed by losing weight. Some cannot be reversed because it is hereditary.

[@MegF142857]

Hereditary is Type 1 diabetes. Some people will have a harder time due to genetics with Type 2. I have a horse who is insulin resistant & definitely the breed has a tendency to this problem. People are the same, even if we aren't "breeds". Some people will have a harder time with controlling sugars than others. I have had to make a lot of dietary changes for this particular horse.

[@Marta_is_here]

A plant based diet can do the same thing. Just sayin’

[@kennixox262]

Can you explain how?

[@Marta_is_here]

A healthy plant based diet can reverse T2D also. There is more than one way to get to the finish line. Do your research.

[@Marta_is_here]

@@kennixox262 Hell, a healthy plant predominate, omnivore diet can do it too. Keto is not for everyone

Go vegan for your health, whole food plant based. Go vegan for the animals. Go vegan for the planet. A lower risk of heart disease and cancer for you and a better planet for everyone, human and animals. Eating healthy is not a diet it is a healthy life style.

[@Ekinnajay]

There are plenty of unhealthy vegans who eat processed foods.

Keto is bad for you.

[@lophiz1945]

Wow. No mention of heme iron, arachidonic acid, methionine, trans-fatty acids, endogenous hormones (IGF1), man-made contaminants, etc.. I thought this Doc was balanced in his assessments. I did not hear any long term studies (plural)? He reads one (!) study and swoons like a butcher. I prefer more nuanced discussions. Unsubscribed.
