"We've Had it Backwards" - New Model Explains Weight Gain and Obesity

[@KenDBerryMD]

Calories don’t count!

[@christopherspavins9250]

This is a national security issue. Corporations are guilty of destroying the metabolic health of the entire country.

This guy is saying what I was experiencing fifty years ago. My then GPs didn’t believe me when after a weight loss diet of seven months, my weight suddenly began to increase even when I was still eating a very restricted diet in which I had lost a stone and a half. Just couldn’t prevent weight gain even when eating a medically supervised 1,000 calories a day. Weight stabilised when I went on a very low carb regime which was before anyone knew of ketogenic way of eating. Now at 74 i remain constant at 9 1/2 stone and feel vindicated that messing around with very low calorie restrictive diet buggers up one’s metabolism.

[@KenDBerryMD]

Excellent paper and interview!

[@enidcronin9704]

Since going low carb I have lost 6 stone. I get asked by people how I've done it and when I tell them I am frequently told its wrong. A health professional actually told me it didn't work, it was unsustainable and dangerous. I ignored them and 10months later still happily losing weight reversing my diabetes and feeling healthier than I have for years.

I notice him distancing himself from the ketogenic diet, but the keto world have known what Dr Ludwig is saying here for quite a number of years now. I think the difference is that he's coming at it more from the perspective of how we might avoid getting obese in the first place, but people that are already well down the obesity path typically find that it's really hard to break their refined carbohydrate addiction. The keto diet is forcing that adaption, driving your body to build its capacity to burn fat for fuel, by depriving it of ingested glucose. Once you do that, you find surprising changes, like not only goes your weight go down, but your very concept of sweetness changes, you stop feeling hungry all the time, your energy levels smooth out across the day and your mood stabilises, high blood pressure drops to normal within a week or two, and that's before the longer term effects kick in. The only danger with it seems to be that if you're on blood pressure or diabetes medication, the improvement may be so rapid that your drug prescriptions may need to adapt more rapidly than a weekly doctors visit could deal with. It's very common for people on keto diets to end up off all those medications quite rapidly.

On a low carb, daily fasting program I lost almost 50 lbs in about 3 Months. big change down from 247lbs which was my max wt. but now I've plateaued . I'm stuck but sure I figure something out. 30 years of Diabetes is enough. Way to go Andrew!!! thanks Dr. Ken Berry MD and Dr. Ben Bickman PhD.

[@DF-ee8vt]

This discussion correctly points out that metabolism is a calculation which includes a couple of dynamic factors, not just addition and subtraction.

[@paulm1241]

I don't see anything new here, Gary Taubes has explained all this in "Good Calories, Bad Calories", 2007.

[@jcomm120]

I've lost weight during the covid period by making veggie+meat stew (with no thickening) a few times a week and limiting carbs somewhat. It only takes 20 minutes to make very tasty fresh stew.

[@keywestfan2503]

“WE’VE HAD IT BACKWARDS” Thousands of ripped keto/carnivore people-“Yes, we know…”

[@ineedhoez]

😂😂😂

[@charleswitcher380]

Most of you still do.

[@keywestfan2503]

Time to rethink this issue? You mean like what Adkins proposed 40+ years ago? But, you are the maverick! Discovering something that was never hidden! Great job! For context, Rob Lowe has had more expertise and at an earlier point regarding this subject matter…

[@larsgustafmartin2556]

Great discussion ! BTW: Tobacco is not needed for survaival, neither is Carbs ! As a power plant engineer, I liken the human methabolism with a tri-fuel power plant. (But much more complex.) The basic energy conversion comes from 3 main fuels, carbs, fats and proteins. On top of that there is an 'embedded control system' which automatically regulates many functions related to the energy system. On top of that there is the persons own logical thinking, habits and believes which controls which kind of fuel is fed into the system. Finally there is the external communication system which influence the persons eating habits, social occations, family & friends, restaurants, adverticements and diatery recommendations. To try to explain the obisity epidemy by focusing on 'energy in energy out', 'a calory is a calory', etc is like knocking on the frequency and power meters on a power plant which is not able to produce stable output. Medical science should know better that !

[@Jack_Schularick]

A nice analogy. I use the analogy of a hybrid car. Two fuel sources (proteins we forget for a moment) but the unit cannot switch to one of them (fat) and is forced to go on carbs only etc. It is shocking that some engineers know more on physiology than most doctors :)

[@lorichet]

Carbs are necessary. Humans are omnivores, not carnivores.

[@larsgustafmartin2556]

@@lorichet For what ? There are essential fats and proteins, but not carbs. Some glucose is needed, but that is produced internally, no external supply needed.

[@lorichet]

@@larsgustafmartin2556 The body needs glucose to function. Carbs are the body's preferred choice for fuel. It takes effort to turn protein & fats into glucose (gluconeogenesis). A high protein/low carb diet long term has been shown to cause kidney stones, hair loss, and insulin resistance. The new "carbs make you fat" myth has replaced the old "fats make you fat" myth. Sugar consumption has declined due to the sugar fear. Meanwhile, the obesity rate continues to rise right in sync with the rise in PUFA oils, which are the real culprits behind obesity.

[@larsgustafmartin2556]

@@lorichet Yes, as I said, the body can make all glucose needed, no extrrnal supply is required. After eating "healthy whole grain, fruit & vege, good carbs, low fat, little red meat, etc" for 60 yrs, the methabolic syndrome caught up with me. Now 5 yrs after scrapping the carbs I feel like 20 yrs younger, back to normal blood numbers, lot of mental and physical energy AND I still have my hair, nails, kidneys, toes, etc intact. After solving my methabolic condition 5 yrs ago I started reading and ended up in the 'Guyton and Hall Textbook of Medical Physiology' - facinating book !! From that you can read in the methabolism section that no carbs are needed, but turning the pages to diabetes and methabolic syndrome the recommended treatment is anyhow "more healthy carbs, vege oils, etc". So I'd say they got the science right, but made the wrong conclusions ! BTW, I the vege-oils I use in my chain saw, not in my kitchen, so I agree with your statement abt poly oils. And yes, it takes efforts to make glucose, possibly that is one of the reasons that it easier to stay at a healthy weight eating no carbs, but my feeling is that it is more about hormones, enzymes, etc control functions.

thx for the video 👍🏼

Smoking and highly processed carbs are both very highly addictive.

[@nabukaluolivia3779]

Thank you for sharing

[@ClassicJukeboxBand]

Sounds a lot like Gary Taubes speaking. Dr. Richard Johnson figured this out years ago...

[@seanveach950]

That is ok, the more the merrier.

[@heredianna2496]

And you think that those Dr were the first ones just because you know them.... People found out new things everyday so if someone can learn this from this Dr today then great. Unfortunately main stream media especially in the US and many Western countries do not share those information. When they don it's not done properly. Plus you don't need to be a western Dr to understand that. Just take a flight and go to Vietnam, Congo or Italy, spend some time in a small city there and you'll realize that the population and the Dr there did not need Internet to understand how to use real food to avoid metabolic health issues while still enjoying your meal.

[@ezrasfund]

Rigorous scientific proof is something else. Taubes and others stated the hypothesis.

[@ute.fritzkowski]

How is this model new?

[@kozackihetman]

Dietitians and trainers are unfortunately still out of touch with carbohydrate-insulin model and the industry is happy, pushing us cheap junk food packaged in plastic with calculated calories on the labels

[@dr.samierasadoonalhassani2669]

Quality of food. Amount of food. How frequent we eat? The less is better. When we eat? During day and not in evenings. We have biological clock day and night,seasonal .

[@charleswitcher380]

Thanks.

[@donaldevanshennings7732]

Poor sound quality.

[@dr.arunkochar4700]

Lack of clarity Confused more and could not convey the intent of the study.

[@TheRhythmicRambler]

Everything he said is debunked. However everything he said can be 100% correct if instead of blaming highly processed carbohydrates he switched it to highly processed hyper palatable carbohydrate AND fat. Nobody would ever eat just bread, pasta, rice without fats. White flour and sugar is not palatable, but throw in butter and we essentially have cake mix which we would lick that ladle clean off.

[@keithlsherman]

"Everything he said is debunked". Care to provide some sources?

[@billyhw5492]

Everything is processed and hyper-palatable has no definition.

[@georgeway2092]

it's not complicated ... eat well ... exercise ... ( stay away from junk food and stress ... )

[@KenJackson_US]

*George:* _"... eat well ..."_ Obviously. But the whole discussion pivots on what that means.

[@jokekelleey2071]

Food and habits or addictive so if you use a little bit of willpower over time and start eating the right foods in the right way as of not snacking all day eat two meals a day or three meals a day you know dinner at 6:00 6:00 p.m. and then don't eat 4 hours before you go to sleep and then don't worry about eating breakfast the first thing when you wake up try to give your body a rest give it a break don't be eating all the time use a little will power and don't eat breads and sugar and potatoes eat protein meats chicken fish eggs and vegetables green vegetables course even some vegetables aren't as good as other vegetables and cut down your fruit eat just a little bit of fruit use fruit as a sweetener whole fruit not fruit juice
