WILL KETO KILL YOU?! - Doctor Reacts

[@twofarg0ne763]

I was married to a vegan for 15 years. During that time I saw my weight go from 180 to 254 only eating salads, rice, pasta, beans, legumes, wholegrain bread, and fruit. Finally at 70 years old when I got divorced, my doc told me to either change my lifestyle or I'd probably be dead in 4 years. I went keto in 2020 and carnivore in 2022. Today I'm 75. I weigh 165 and no longer have any health issues. I think that the vegan doctor in this video has screws loose. I am living proof keto and carnivore work.

[@Sarahizahhsum]

Thank you for sharing your story. Carnivore is stabilizing my schizophrenia, bipolar, and bpd; among so many other ailments at only 29 years young. Today is Day 60, I woke up crying I am so proud I have made it this far.

I always considered keto and carnivore as a "temporary diet" for me. I lost 100 pounds, then went back to eating 60% carbs. Stupid. Gained 50 pounds back and was sick a lot. Now I'm carnivore again, healthy, and weight is falling off. I'm 60, and plan to stick to keto/carnivore until the end of my life, which I believe will be longer with my current lifestyle.

Yeah, me too. I didn’t gain as much, but I also didn’t raise my carbs that high either. Now I’m trying to dust myself off and get back on the bandwagon. It’s hard to really realize that you can’t eat the way your cravings tell you too, without getting fat and sick.

Dr. Westman, thank you so much for your outstanding discussion on this important topic. It is this type of information which helps us "metabolically challenged" patients push back on our "vegan" cardiologists who want us on a high carb, "plant based" diet. Here is the problem, however. When I tried to have a reasonable talk about the pros and cons of the various diets, my "preventive" (i.e. vegoon) cardiologist first gaslighted me about the dangers of the keto/carnivore diet. Then he wanted me to start on a PCSK9 inhibitor immediately. Then he said he did NOT need to see me anymore because I would not follow his advice. Unfortunately, this is the state of American cardiology in 2024!

Dr. Westman i really appreciate the way you present things, the mere fact that you ask that doctor every year for evidence of any negative thing against the ketogenic diet tells me that you put people first and is continuously seeking knowledge on this diet, even with 25 years experience. while, of course, you will have some biases for the ketogenic diet . I also find that you have some flexibility in some areas of the diet.What i would like to know, I have not seen you address in any of your videos, that after people reverse their type2 diabetes and lose weight, how do they maintain iT? Do they remain for the rest of their lives eating the same way or are they allow to introduce, in moderation, SOME whole foods, like low sugar fruits, and what about vegetables.? I was able to lose 21 lbs from January to end of april on a low carb diet, usual amount of protein and less maybe less fat that i would normally consume, cut out all processed foods and sugars, ( still had some carbs that is not allowed in keto and fruit sparingly consumed , it was not low as a keto die,)together with fasting.I made the error of going for a blood test immediately at the end of the month of fasting in April and my cholesterol went from 208 in December to 216, Tg from 119 to 50, HDL from 52 to 56 and ldl from 132 to 150!

I went almost carnivore, and since then, my cholesterol has dropped from 245 to 206, LDL from 162 to 127, HDLc from 49 to 62 and triglycerides from 200!!! to 84!!!! I also walk 10,000+ steps a day. I'm not sure what did what here, but I feel better than I have in 20 years (I'm 53). I know anecdotal evidence is just that, but come on... we all know this heals us. I don’t understand why these doctors can't see it. They seem more focused on possibilities than on what’s actually happening right now. I’m also down from 264 to 214-all in just four months. I’ve fallen off the rails a couple of times, and the return of piles, bloating, and overall discomfort pushed me right back into whatever I’m doing. Less than 20g of carbs a day, and often less than 5g. Tomorrow I could get run over by a car, wreck my motorcycle-anything could happen. But I’m going to enjoy what’s making me healthy right now.

health risks are overblown - they are confusing transition to fat burning with long term and don't define what a keto diet is. I remember an Australian Dietician who is now a professor, talking years ago about 'the risks' and how it might cause heart problems and his reference was a study where they infused the circulatory system of a dog with fat - to the point of causing arrhythmia. Mmmmm. no really the same as eating fat in context of food is it. I was on the keto diet at the time, and I remember laughing because they were talking about keto 'stink' (crotch), and how its associated with all cause mortality. I was on my way to a rowing event, and I was in ketosis and could power row for hours - my snack was a few macadamias but I thought if I died in a car crash or drowned, it would be a 'keto diet death' LOL

[@Insomniac4791]

Oh darn, I was supposed to die 25 years ago I guess….. think I’ll keep taking my chances, although I’ve moved to carnivore so it could still happen!

One apple a day would send me to the hospital cause of my pome fruit allergy...

[@birdy5548]

How do we know that high cholesterol is bad,? maybe it is supposed to be high,if Ancel keys was the person to tell us what figure our cholesterol was supposed to be,then I wouldn’t worry how high it was.It’s probably the opposite to what the medical community say.

[@RedHotFiat]

Please do a video on the MPO Myeloperoxidase. I've never had this test before and mine is over 2500.

[@Sirach144]

So avocados and eggs will kill us, but yet they want us on a Simpich and Cheerios?

[@Hacker-xe8yv]

The pros, cons, conflicting info problems with diets is money. along with "research" and "studies". Nobody does research and studies for free. Someone somewhere provides funding for these exercises. Many are corporations or government who are placating political donors with studies to come up with a "scientific" conclusion favorable to their industry and products.

[@LittleRadicalThinker]

3:53 keto diet 24/24, hahaha 😂 what a doctor teaching his audiences the opinions of a group of people’s voting result as a fact. Science is not the result of a group expert voting on something.

[@CAM-kg2ic]

I bet this guy prescribes Ozempic. 🤣🤣

[@rpolee9035]

The blue zones hmm people buy their food fresh and local from small circulair farms the soil is not depleted which means the food they eat atleast have the right nutrients and are not poisened by chemicals. Right now most plant foods have perhaps 30 or 40 % of the nutrients they should have and 3 times the sugar they should have. 30 years back i loved green apples with their somewhat bitter and fresh taste now they are so sweet i can t stand them any more .

[@paulsalvaterra]

I missed his science, we need bart kay to comment

[@graeymane]

Who pays him?

[@gjahncke]

You go

[@brettrohaly5345]

He can say whatever he wants, I was following his dietary pattern, 60 years old, weighed 200 lbs, diabetic taking 3 pills per day, my doctor wanted to put me on more pills plus a statin. I was getting worse every year. Went on keto, lost 50 lbs. No more pills, all lab markers were great. Either I am not like everyone else who does keto, or he is wrong in his advice.

[@beardumaw24]

I've been keto for 4 years now and that fixed a few health issues I was having. My blood work is excellent now and my heart health is way better now and I can go all out Sprint workouts 3 times a week now with weight training. I'm so tired of these wacko vegan peoples BS. And I'm omnivore, I eat lots of quality meats, eggs, dairy, veggies, berries, nuts, olives and olive oil and dark chocolate. But i keep my diet very low carb and I keep getting healthier !

[@Rob_Hinerman]

one other thing I wanted to say in regards to the aggressiveness of the vegans about this keto thing. They are terrified it is going to catch on. I sometimes wonder if they value animals more than they value their fellow humans. We are kind of despicable but still.

[@carolynhunt7333]

So where does this genius think B12 comes from? A vitamin bottle?

[@rickjean63]

Life is dangerous you can die from it!

[@UnknownUser-sc6jx]

I hate grains, carbohydrates and processed food. I love dairy, meat, fish, eggs and fatty foods like dark chocolate, avocados coconut oil, butter, cream, cheese, lard. I wouldn't eat beans, grains, processed food like breads or pasta 🤮🤢 they taste like crap and they're toxic for us 🤮🤢

[@Mansell5Senna8]

so what about a vegan keto diet, would he change his mind then lol
