What is surprising is that people will mistrust an idea that has zero cost and can be done by anyone yet will blindly trust a solution that requires them to buy something! Snake oil has never been free so if something free makes you feel better, it is unlikely to be snake oil!! It’s simple enough to see if reducing carbs lowers glucose. For mental health, if cutting carbs makes you feel in any way better, then surely it’s a ‘no brainer’ (pardon the pun). Why wouldn’t you lower the carbs even further? Perhaps you’ll feel better still!
Thanks for your comment, we appreciate your support! Our low carb program has helped thousands of people find better health just by reducing the carbs they eat and returning to a wholefood, healthy fat way of eating. Here are just a few of their success stories:--> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
It surely isn't a no brainer. Personal anecdotes don't equal evidence or clinical trials. These things are notoriously unreliable and riddled with confounders. It's like if I told the neighbors that I have had a lot of energy eating more pistachio nuts. What's your, training, in nutrition or in medicine?
@@dan-qe1tbclinical trials are happening, but in the meantime all we have is people’s lived experiences. You can either wait for the trials to be completed or dive in and use experimentitation on yourself. Personal choice really

Carnivore diet slowing brain tumours. Stopped gerds, reversed my type 2. Mental health is better now less brain fog and fatigue. Prolonging my prognosis. AS symptoms reduced.
Less insulin resistance is the cause. However, the way animals are raised means there will be lots of wrong things from antibiotics in many cases to higher amounts of IGF hormones.
So good to hear - our Low Carb Program aims to do the same for people with type 2 diabetes and help them improve blood glucose management and send their condition into remission. And if you ever need some recipe inspo, you can check our free library here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/category/resources/recipes/
I just finished watching a video with Dr. Shawn Baker & guest, Valerie, she cured herself of a 40 year battle with anorexia & mental illness with a carnivore diet! It was fascinating!
Why would you want to do that? So you can laugh at him? Why do you take medical advice from people whose license had been suspended due to incompetence? Berry as well
After almost six years of a strict vegan diet, not eating vegan junk food, daily fruit smoothies with massive spirulina, etc., I found myself in a deep dark depression with suicidal thoughts and one attempt.I quit vegan diet and slowly improved.However it wasn't until I started eating a carnivore diet that my depression completely disappeared.
Did you get enough fat in your diet? Did you eat enough nuts, especially walnuts? Flaxseed or cold pressed flaxseed oil and olive oil? Coconut oil? Dark cocoa or chocolate? Enough colourful fruit, not smoothies and juices because they can cause glucose spikes. I'm seriously curious, most people swear by going fully plant based. I'm more flexible and i believe food is to enjoy it when I eat and how I feel after. I feel more energy and happy when I'm plant based. When I feel like having eggs and butter in winter (might be because not enough fresh fruit and vegetables and no sun out of the season) then I have eggs and I feel satisfied and well. when I feel like lots of cheese and I eat cheese then I crave more and feel unwell, headaches, brain fog, runny nose - so i know I crave cheese beacuse condensed kazeine is addictive, its.like a crack. It's not what my body needs. I suspect that being STRICT about any diet can affect us mentally in a long term. For me mostly plant based is what makes me feel great. It's hard at family gatherings and social occasions, so this is the only drawback. Could this, feeling excluded as a vegan, have contributed to your feeling down? Low fat diets can affect the brain on a long term. We need good fat, notmeat.we tje brain? Also chamges on git nacteri
Is depression a major problem among non-Western vegetarians? How about Eastern Orthodox Christians, who are mostly vegan for Lent? Billions of people don't eat carnivore. Do they have depression and lower IQs, too? (Or are they good in math?)
I can say same. Totally did the carnivore but now, well. Truthfully I have IBS and my digestive flora was weakened and I began to realize that you can fk up your system eating just one food and if there's an apocalypse and you can't get meat it's not a good time for constipation and diarrhea. It's better to add some other proteins and fats in there folks.
@@GeorgiaEdeMDHi Georgia, I devoured (excused the pun) your brilliant book. I went from a ‘whole’ food plant based diet to grass fed beef (mainly ground beef), 25 grams of raw lamb liver, and a can of sardines in water each day, with water as my sole fluid. Dropping the Greek yogurt and eggs after reading your book also had a big impact on me as well. The improvement in my mental health has been profound!! My physical health was already pretty good, but has also improved. One thing not mentioned is the simplicity benefit of whole food carnivore e.g. no shopping list, no recipes, minimal cooking time and cleaning up. We are the only species that eats and drinks for entertainment. Your book has helped literally transform my life. I love watching your videos as well as you are such a beautiful person with such a kind soul. Sending you a massive hug and deepest gratitude from New Zealand. Thank you for being you. 🙏 ❤️ Regards Glenn
@@GlennMarshallnz Dear Glenn, I'm thrilled to hear that these changes in your diet have been so positive for you! Congratulations! Gigantic hug back from Massachusetts:)
This is fantastic to hear! We want to bring hope for better health to as many people as possible and help spread the word that diet is a critical part of any treatment plan for chronic disease. That's why we've partnered Diabetes Australia, to help more people transition to a low carb approach and improve blood glucose management.

100 years ago sugar which was expensive and in short supply was deregulated in America, the price fell through the floor as the market was flooded with sugar, no coincidence that our health and well being has been in decline since. Cheap sugar was manna from heaven for the food industry. As Dr. Ede stated our health started to become worse over the last 100 years, the correlation is the deregulation of sugar. Things always happen for a reason. Keep up the good work.
Humans have been eating sugar for hundreds of years, albeit not in the quantity of today.I beleive that its the seed oils that are fueling this rapid decline in human health.Most people cook in them as well as restaurants and seed oils are in the vast majority of highly processed food.Seed oils inhibits the bodies ability to digest sugar so along with the excess sugar and seed oils we have an explosion of diabetes world wide from children to adults.
Have a brother recently diagnosed with diabetes but doctors are unsure whether it is type 1 or 2 I asked him what his fasting insulin levels were as I had previously asked him to get that checked but he said that the doctor wouldn’t check as it was irrelevant 😢
It's such an important test and relatively inexpensive. As Georgia points out, you can get the test done yourself, just need to find an online blood test ordering service :)
in Russia they check all the diabetic patients for insulin together w glucose, of course people only have glucose meters at home, but they all know their insulin, wtf
Life Extension has almost all tests available, and fairly reasonable. My sister and I did the glucose tolerance test with insulin. For that one, if you want the insulin too, you do have to call them and ask about it.
We were happy to interview her! You can watch more Defeat Diabetes interviews with global experts on low carb and metabolic health here if you're interested --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/category/resources/free-webinars/
I really feared my brain fog issues. So I started MCT oil and magnesium tablets daily. My brain started noticeably clearing up. Now I began the carnivore diet and in less than 2 weeks my brain fog is gone but still short term memory loss. Cannot wait to see if my short term memory comes back after 6 months or a year on carnivore diet. Loves you, Dr Ede for all your information! ❤
Proper human nutrition plus following circadian rhythmic guidelines will help most people. It’s not so much an imbalance in the brain but more an energy shortage.
The other day I watched an episode of Four Corners called 'The Kids Who Can't Go to School' which is about the huge problem of school refusal. I had similar problems with my two boys about twenty years ago. All through the program I was thinking that we wouldn't have these problems if people knew how bad the food most of us eat really is. I had a hard time trying to work out what foods were affecting my boys and wish this information was available then.
So excited when Dr. Ede said a mixture of ketones and glucose for the brain is optimum, with just less glucose than ketones. This has been my suspicion for a while but first time ive heard it discussed by someone else. I have been trying to have as minimum carb as i can from whole foods only.
So glad you found the webinar informative and inspiring. We have lots more resources that share the benefits of low carb and a digital program if you'd like more support in maintaining your low carb approach.

Listening to this woman speak has given me the final piece of the puzzle for me. Thank you so much I honestly can't thank you enough. God bless you 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
haha! Canadian here..thanks for the conversion to mmol/L! I had to pause the vid and do the conversion. I've not had mental health issues but have been able to lose weight and battle T2D with OMAD one meal a day and keto (
You're welcome! You're also right that the mental health benefits are not usually highlighted because unfortunately, there have not been many good clinical trials conducted to investigate the link between diet and the various mental health disorders - but Dr Ede is changing that.
Can't agree more. Done water/tea fasts vs. coffee w half and half and had completely equal benefits. Effect on mood and energy from coffee were massively positive. Never giving it up no matter what
I was having coffee in my cream, I had to give it up when I realised how many litres of cream I was consuming, now I’ve lost more weight and sleep better!
So grateful for this. I’ve been raising my protein intake, especially that I’m building muscle, and this convo further confirms the need to always include red meat on my grocery list.
Priorising protein is a key part of low carb, along with consuming plenty of healthy fats for fuel - especially if you're working out at the gym.

@@defeatdiabetes Thank you. I've never been prescribed prescription meds and have not had any Big Pharma product of any kind in my body (topically, orally or otherwise), not even aspirin, in almost 20 years.
It's not logical, it's empirical, and the studies on nutrition recommending this diet for general use (as opposed to prescribed therapeutically) do not exist.
@@JulioMacarena We have? There are billions of vegetarians outside the West, and Eastern Orthodox Lent is mostly vegan. Do they have our problems? There is not one major religion in the world that says you can eat any meat, in any quantity, at any time, and in combination with any other food. Not one. Why would that be? Tell me your logic.
@l.w.paradis2108 who cares about religion? All of them emerged after or around the same time that we invented agriculture. For 2 million years before that, we ate mainly animal products. Science has shown this through stable isotope bone analysis.
I really enjoyed listening to this clear discussion. I feel like we just need to keep spreading the word for metabolic health, along with spiritual too. Thank you.
Spiritual? There is no major religion in the world that believes you can eat any meat in any quantity at any time and in combination with any other foods. Not one. Even Orthodox Christians are vegan or semi-vegan (allow a certain amount of fish) for about half the year, if they follow the rules. They approve of year-round vegetarianism plus some fish, and vegan for Lent, cod on Good Friday.

Drat, I have just eaten a piece of birthday cake, the 1st added sugar, high refined carb food I have eaten in months. Now I feel I need an antidote rapidly :(
Several months ago I told my therapist that I changed my diet and was starting to feel better … she seemed skeptical… after a little more conversation, I asked her what she ate on a daily basis. She looked at me quizzically… and said hmm.. I never thought to ask about that. Me neither… until now…
Being a therapist means you got a degree to be one. But the person who got the degree can have mental health problems themself. Anyone can enroll in those programs.
My father had chronic depression, plus he was overweight from my birth, not obese but overweight, he had I think both my parents had insulin problems from when we were born in the 80’s.

My father didn’t live to see me turn 20 , 2005 he died brain cancer uncontrolled diabetes for years , bleeding feet. Metabolic syndrome, now my mom almost lost her April 2022 diabetes diagnosis, now heart disease. Heart disease runs in my mom’s family. My mom almost got gestational diabetes with my younger brother in 1988 . My mom’s biological mother her mom got gestational diabetes with her last child and never 👎 recovered. My brothers have chronic anger 😡 problems. …..my parents passed on crappy genes. Just discovered I think from pure stress I am insulin resistant. Tweaking my diet a tad …..low carb already . No grains . Just got her book from our library. Can’t wait till I can afford to buy it personally. SUGAR has destroyed my family and ultra processed foods too.

I got one of my three write ups at my Behavioral Therapy job by trying to suggest that diet plays an important role in mental health and behavior. Its technically not part of my role to give medical advice, but its a no brainer and we're all forced into "just following orders" and allowing harm to come to others at our jobs. I got auto immune disease about 15 years ago. When it first happened, I was puking every single day for 2 years, and I was nauseous every single day for another 4 after that, then I still getting nauseous every other day at least once a week for another 3 years and im just now getting to the point where I feel semi-normal. I could ONLY eat eggs for the first 6 years, anything else I would puke up. Including juice, spinach, strawberries, any kind of whole and natural food. Only eggs, and cheese. There was a few specific brands of corn chips I would get to put the cheese on. Then the spices like turmeric and cyanne pepper. Doing things like eating eggs, not eating processed food, replacing table sugar in coffee with honey, eating medicinal mushooms (psychedelic and Red Reishi) were all things I think saved my life. EDIT: Shes more extreme on this stuff than I am though. You can have sugar, you can have alcohol, you can have carbs, you just don't want to be doing it every week. If you are really sick like I was, then you do want to cut all that stuff out entirely until you recover completely.

All great and accurate info. I want to spread the word on something I just found out for myself. I cured many things on keto but after a deviation into low carb and coming back to keto, my energy level was bad and i felt off. Fasting for 24hrs and my ketones would only be .7. I started taking acetyl l carnitine and my energy levels are great all day now. My 24hr fast has ketones at 3.0 . My morning ketones used to be 0.3, now they are 1.7. Carnitine is the amino acid responsible for taking fat from your blood and putting it into mitochondria. It is a great supplement if you burn fat for fuel

The reason the medical community is fixated on cholesterol is because the test for it is a cheap and easy. Serum insulin tests are expensive and relatively complex. If, 70 years ago, the case was opposite, we may have have had a huge tool to reduce CVD, with no need for statins, The inflammation caused by sustained high serum insulin levels in the spikes is likely a significant cause of heart issues.
Unfortunately the science on cholesterol is not widely understood. Defeat Diabetes founder Dr Peter Brukner OAM asked Dr Paul Mason to break it down in this webinar if you're interested --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/free-webinars/the-cholesterol-controversy/
Sometimes we need to take baby steps - if you're able, perhaps take a walk in nature, or try doing micro sets at home (e.g. calf raises while you brush your teeth, squats while the kettle boils), or walk up and down the stairs 10 times.

I wish people getting bariatric surgeries would get this information before they make such a big mistake, which I personally think it’s unethical. Lots of times they are on multiple psych meds already. our gut is called our second brain, if I ripped it out, how is that going to improve my health? I am an RN and this week I cared for a 67 y/o pt who got a wt loss procedure, I almost lost all my hair( I pulled it so hard). Makes me angry
Well, that cannot be a relevant argument because cows, sheep and pigs etc. which people eat, don't eat meat. Or do you eat wolves? I am not against eating read meat.
@@SallaTyrvainen-to8yj A wolf wouldn't eat a wolf either. We don't eat anything that eats animals, at least not deliberately. Even vegans eat animal accidently in minute form, they just don't care. Lions don't eat wolves either, they're not stupid, they'll eat a fast running deer first unless they're starving.

53:48 ive drank coffee practically every day of my life since I was about 8 years old, I drink more coffee than water now and don't suffer from any problems of dehydration. I am also somewhat usual in that caffeine has a paradoxical effect on me and it used to make me tired, now it does basically nothing since I drink it so much. Coffee is good for you, the shit we put in coffee (including table sugar) is not. I use Honey in place of sugar now, unbelievably massive difference, I stopped getting head aches. Id argue that home made coffee can be a nutritional supplement depending on the quality of what you get. Its good for most people that don't have problems with caffeine, even helps prevent some gut and colon cancers. Ive also tested this by removing it from my diet for months several times before, it made no positive impact on my health or mood. Only switching out the sugar to honey did
Wow, this is so interesting. Honey is also a sugar (both table sugar and honey are made from glucose and fructose), so it's fascinating that honey has lessened your headaches.

Doubt it. That's why they say to get the cleaner meat, grass fed if decent grass. Scotland here, cows are pretty much allowed to roam on decent grassy hills without many antibiotics.
We always say to look for the best quality food and ingredients you can afford. If it's real food, and you're avoidng ultra-processed foods as much as possible, you're already a few steps ahead!
At Defeat Diabetes we recommend following a program that's low in carbs (10% total calories) and higher in protein (30% total calories) and healthy fats like butter and ghee (60% of total calories).

💥 Each doctor says a different thing. I'm completely lost. Some say that human beings by design were not made to eat meat, that we should consume vegetables. Some people advocate for carnivore diet... 😮. Some talk about keto diet and even intermittent fasting. I'm pre diabetic, or a little diabetic, and I don't know what to do. I don't need to lose weight, I'm already too thin. 😮😮
We recommend following the science and experimenting yourself. If you have a CGM these can be really helpful to understand how different foods and dietary approached affect your blood glucose.

Vegan/anti meat doctors will say meat is not good. It's understandable that many people are confused. Look up the works of doctor Weston A Price, he studied primitive tribes in the 1930s, traditional diets were high in meat, seafood and fat, the people adhering to their traditional diet were healthy. When they adopted the flour, seed oil, grain diets their health declined dramatically. If you are diabetic you are better off with low carb diet, get a glucometer and check to see what happens when you eat certain foods.

My granddaughter was put on meds for ADD at an early age, I wonder if that was the cause of her heart failure at the age of 31. Maybe a change of diet would have been better.
We're so sorry about your grand-daughter. While we can't comment on your theoretical question, there's evidence that our highly-inflammatory Western diets are contributing to increased occurrence of chronic diseases.

I need to gain 20 pounds as soon as possible. I’m on an anti-inflammatory diet. I know good fats don’t cause weight gain. What can I eat to gain the weight and then go back to the anti-inflammatory diet?
Not quite true - even good fats will cause weight gain if you eat enough! If you’re aiming to gain weight while following a low carb diet, here are our top tips: - Eat plenty of calories: While we don’t focus on calorie counting, eating real, nutrient-dense foods can help you stay in tune with hunger and fullness cues. - Ease up on fasting: If you’re practicing intermittent fasting, consider adjusting your fasting window to allow for more eating time. - Eat calorie-dense foods: Opt for foods rich in healthy fats and protein, such as pork, nuts, seeds, avocados and cheese. - Add extra healthy fats: Use olive oil, coconut oil, and butter in cooking to increase your calorie intake.

What you want to know is what’s keeping your blood sugar normal for all those years .which is RISING INSULIN over the years keeping your blood sugars normal till it can’t cope with all the carbohydrates coming in . Rising insulin causes INSULIN resistance which means insulin can’t get though and the brain can’t process glucose and turn it into energy or anything else without adequate insulin .

I just keep it simple . Chicken, beef, salmon, eggs, rice , oats, blueberries, pears, and bananas, pretty much it. I avoid anything with more than 1 ingredient. These corporations love to add unnecessary ingredients
For people with type 2 diabetes adopting a low carb approach, we would recommend skipping the oats (high carb!) and sticking to berries as a preferred fruit option as bananas and pears are higher in sugar.

Hello, it may take some time for the body to regulate blood glucose levels, It could take years, it depends a lot on each person's body, But stay strong, and look for lots of information about fat to help lower blood sugar. Below are some interesting ideas Thank you for the great work, keep going Sharing my opinion after 2 years on the Carnivora and ketogenic diet (2 years between dietary transition (removing complex carbohydrates (Natural) as I removed the industrialized ones on the first day of the dietary change) 1. Changing foods requires time for the body to begin adapting to new food consumption in this case (Protein and Fat) the body requires time to change its source of burning energy, When we are eating carbohydrates our body is always in total despair. This can happen on a carnivorous or ketogenic diet, but in an intelligent way. 2. Every Body has a health problem to correct (No one is the same when it comes to health problems, even if they have the same disease) 3. Losing fat or gaining muscle can be an easier task for some people, this is due to their body, which may have a problem in a certain organ. (Which was not diagnosed by laboratory tests) due to several factors 4. The beginning of the diet is very delicate, as we want to heal quickly, at least overnight, (We can start the improvement process when we change our diet on the first day, but we will not be cured overnight. It is not possible to cure years of a wrong diet in just a few days or even months or years, it depends on one body to another) Total transition I believe in around 5 years, For those who are only on the carnival diet along with the ketogenic diet, interspersing the two in the same period 5. Observing your evolution is very important, be it in the physical or mental aspect (Mental Energy, Relaxation in your daily activities, patience, emotional control, concentration, among others. Your physical energy, Desire to do some exercises, among others) even if it is moderate, the simple fact of walking, I don't do running exercise, I don't think it's healthy. due to several factors, one of which is that research has shown that most athletes who run and play football or do all the exercises that use the heart more have more heart attacks, perhaps because of the carbohydrates, etc... 6. The most important of all (Follow your Ancestral Food instinct, which was taken from humans) Which ? (When you want to eat more protein, eat, when you want to eat more fat, eat. When you don't want to eat, don't eat) Do you want to gain weight? Exercise with moderate weight I hope I contributed in some way
Hello, Stevia isn't good for you, it's sugar just the same Change your diet without processed foods, Don't forget all the sugar in the world comes from natural sources Doesn't mean they're healthy Pancreas removes all excess sugar from the blood, your liver can produce all the glycogen it needs, so we should add some type of sugar, I'm on the carnivore and ketogenic diet and I'm getting better and better!!! Hope this helps
Question to those who were (especially long term) vegan and changed to meat eating..... How did your mind change? I have a family member who suffers but doesn't listen to the facts about the vegan diet. Is there a way to get into his mind and help him change?
short answer is "no". Most people will not consider a change until they face a future without something they cherish, like some aspect of health that has become compromised. I'm 78 and eat a relaxed carnivore diet, had arthritis in my mid 20's and have none now. I talk about my family and activities, not my diet.
Intermittent fasting is a great way to balance blood glucose levels, as well as other health issues including blood pressure and inflammation. More on the great benefits of fasting here: www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/low-carb/keto-paleo-intermittent-fasting-whats-the-deal/

There is no one size fits all approach to diet. Dr Ede is really focusing on reducing carbohydrates which has a profound impact on metabolic health and has overwhelming evidence to support its efficacy. Why not try a gentle experiment with this approach? We offer a free two trial of our award-winning program that's been developed by doctors and dietitians to help people understand the science and get started on a low carb journey.

Consider doing the research yourself, at the NIH library, which is not political. It has papers from all over the world, available for free. Don't be intimidated by your first look at scientific papers. I learned to read them while caring for an elderly parent. The benefits for most people (NOT all) of onions, garlic, fermented cabbage, cruciferous vegetables, and berries is huge. The microbiome is made healthy by these, for most people.

Absolutely. Although if you have type 2 diabetes it's best to avoid those with higher carbohydrate contents and stick to non-starchy veg, berries and nuts - preferably with cheese!

What I don't understand for folks on the carnivore diet, is who eats just one thing? With all the beautiful food that we can eat - different coloured vegetables, lovely nuts, beans, lentils, healthy grains. Then we have people like Jordan Peterson (don't get me wrong - I love the guy), who ONLY eats beef. I just struggle to get it. I'm a vegetarian and have been for years. I'm so healthy and strong for my age. If you look at the animal kingdom, all of the critters who only eat meat, live short lives - 10 to 15 years max. If you look at the long living critters like parrots, tortoises, elephants etc, all live very long lives. How do we explain that
Rough eye rockfish can live 200 years, eats shrimp and smaller fish. killer whales and crocodiles live 120 years, Greenland shark live 270 years. When you don't eat something or have it in the house, it's like it doesn't exist and you don't even think about it. Fruit and veg has the highest levels of food waste about 45%. Most of the fibre eaten goes right through your digestion and ends up unused in the toilet. We didn't evolve by importing thousands of plant products from around the world. One product can supply all nutrients with many dishes, grass fed meat, liver, blood, and kidneys. intestine
Dr Georgia Ede (in this video) is an advocate of the paleo diet - a diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds - for brain & mental health. In our Defeat Diabetes program (which is for those living with metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes), we recommend a low carb diet which can be followed by vegetarians.
if you are totally happy with your diet don't change a thing and don't fuss over what anyone else eats. Go follow your passions, enjoy life, be kind. I'm a 78 yr young carnivore who still has a lovely time at church potlucks in the face of abundant carbs and people who eat them. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
I have been a vegetarian all my life and I am eating plant based foods that work really really well for my system. And I am doing okay. I am in my mid forties. I can't suddenly switch over to a carnivore diet. My body will reject it because it isn't used to it. This lady actually doesn't know what she is talking about. You can't just suddenly start becoming a carnivore after you reach your 40's. The human body doesn't work like that. You body will have soo many problems adjusting to the new type of food especially if it is something totally new. As we get older, our bodies will have a harder time accepting new stuff. I am indian, but I eat all types of vegetarian cuisine like Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and of course indian etc.. And I am sticking to that because that is what my body accepts and is comfortable with. I take egg indirectly through cakes, cookies, brownies and any baked goods, but I can't eat eggs that are actually cooked for breakfast because I didn't grow up eating like that. Once you reach middle age, it's very very hard to change what your system is already used to and try to introduce something new into your body.
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Some people do find it difficult to adapt their diet to a low carb, healthy fat approach after decades of being told to eat vast quantities of carbohydrates. We recommend taking it slowly, and treating it as a gentle experiment. We've had members in their 80s, with type 2 diabetes for more than two decades, start out with low carb and reverse type 2 diabetes and improve blood glucose - so it is achievable if you can adapt your mindset. Here's a story from Defeat Diabetes member Bill who did exactly that. We hope it inspires you believe that you can change the way you eat - even after middle age! www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/bill-grattan/
If your healthy just keep eating what you do now, don't change just because you see something online, i know of perfectly fit and healthy vegans, i worked with 3 and they were fine, never off work sick or ill and were active, one ran the marathon in 2:28, the top distance athletes, cyclists etc eat a large amount of carbohydrates, how many top sportspeople are 'Carnivores' unless there's a specific medical condition don't stress yourself out looking for the 'magic bullet '..
If you are not overweight and your fasting insulin comes back under 6, A1C under 5.6 then your body is performing. The Doctor is talking about mental illness, if you want to help with food then this could be beneficial.
She does know what she’s talking about because it’s been proven by her patients . If you aren’t having any mental health issues and your metabolically healthy that’s great . India actually now has the highest rate of diabetes type 2 so that’s something to think about . And I know many lifetime vegans who started introducing meat and doing low carb keto or carnivore after their health failed they said it was difficult at first but seeing the befits they adapted well
We love to help people reduce and come off medications under the supervision of a low carb GP. In fact, 44% of program members have been able to reduce or stop medication for type 2 diabetes. You can read more about their success here ---> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
We recommend natural fats and oils including avocado, coconut and olive oil. However we agree with Dr Ede on avoiding vegetable and seed oils (cottonseed, rapeseed, vegetable oil, soybean oil etc) More on their adverse effects here: www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/nutrition/why-should-i-avoid-seed-oils/
If you're following a low carb approach we recommend maintaining around 50g carbs per day, with 133g fat and 150g protein. If you're curious about adopting this approach, we have an article that might be helpful --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/baby-steps-to-low-carb-your-simple-guide-to-getting-started/

What is surprising is that people will mistrust an idea that has zero cost and can be done by anyone yet will blindly trust a solution that requires them to buy something! Snake oil has never been free so if something free makes you feel better, it is unlikely to be snake oil!!
It’s simple enough to see if reducing carbs lowers glucose. For mental health, if cutting carbs makes you feel in any way better, then surely it’s a ‘no brainer’ (pardon the pun). Why wouldn’t you lower the carbs even further? Perhaps you’ll feel better still!
Thanks for your comment, we appreciate your support! Our low carb program has helped thousands of people find better health just by reducing the carbs they eat and returning to a wholefood, healthy fat way of eating. Here are just a few of their success stories:--> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
I love your comment on snake oil is never free and if something is free its probably not snake oil.
It surely isn't a no brainer. Personal anecdotes don't equal evidence or clinical trials. These things are notoriously unreliable and riddled with confounders. It's like if I told the neighbors that I have had a lot of energy eating more pistachio nuts. What's your, training, in nutrition or in medicine?
@@dan-qe1tbclinical trials are happening, but in the meantime all we have is people’s lived experiences. You can either wait for the trials to be completed or dive in and use experimentitation on yourself. Personal choice really

Brilliant guest, brilliant interviewer, brilliant questions. Brilliant!! Many thanks 🙏 👍
Carnivore diet slowing brain tumours. Stopped gerds, reversed my type 2. Mental health is better now less brain fog and fatigue. Prolonging my prognosis. AS symptoms reduced.
Great! Cancer cells love sugar. If you ever thinking of eating some vegetables, cabbages and mushrooms are said to be good against cancer.
Healed ALL of my health issues also!
There's certainly some interesting science around the carnivore diet!
I'm so glad to read you found a way to help yourself!
Less insulin resistance is the cause. However, the way animals are raised means there will be lots of wrong things from antibiotics in many cases to higher amounts of IGF hormones.
FINALY a diet expert that can read and think critically !! Modified keto saved my life and that with fasting reversed my age

What a charming and insightful lady.
I just finished watching a video with Dr. Shawn Baker & guest, Valerie, she cured herself of a 40 year battle with anorexia & mental illness with a carnivore diet! It was fascinating!
Valerie Anne is a true inspiration!
That was indeed an amazing video. It’s terrible how many people are suffering needlessly.
Fabulous!!!
@@GeorgiaEdeMD I'm inspired by your knowledge. Do u plan to do youtube videos?
Why would you want to do that? So you can laugh at him? Why do you take medical advice from people whose license had been suspended due to incompetence? Berry as well
After almost six years of a strict vegan diet, not eating vegan junk food, daily fruit smoothies with massive spirulina, etc., I found myself in a deep dark depression with suicidal thoughts and one attempt.I quit vegan diet and slowly improved.However it wasn't until I started eating a carnivore diet that my depression completely disappeared.
Did you get enough fat in your diet? Did you eat enough nuts, especially walnuts? Flaxseed or cold pressed flaxseed oil and olive oil? Coconut oil? Dark cocoa or chocolate? Enough colourful fruit, not smoothies and juices because they can cause glucose spikes.
I'm seriously curious, most people swear by going fully plant based. I'm more flexible and i believe food is to enjoy it when I eat and how I feel after. I feel more energy and happy when I'm plant based.
When I feel like having eggs and butter in winter (might be because not enough fresh fruit and vegetables and no sun out of the season) then I have eggs and I feel satisfied and well.
when I feel like lots of cheese and I eat cheese then I crave more and feel unwell, headaches, brain fog, runny nose - so i know I crave cheese beacuse condensed kazeine is addictive, its.like a crack. It's not what my body needs.
I suspect that being STRICT about any diet can affect us mentally in a long term.
For me mostly plant based is what makes me feel great. It's hard at family gatherings and social occasions, so this is the only drawback. Could this, feeling excluded as a vegan, have contributed to your feeling down?
Low fat diets can affect the brain on a long term. We need good fat, notmeat.we tje brain? Also chamges on git nacteri
Is depression a major problem among non-Western vegetarians? How about Eastern Orthodox Christians, who are mostly vegan for Lent? Billions of people don't eat carnivore. Do they have depression and lower IQs, too? (Or are they good in math?)
@@l.w.paradis2108lol. Histrionics with somatic lives….
I can say same. Totally did the carnivore but now, well. Truthfully I have IBS and my digestive flora was weakened and I began to realize that you can fk up your system eating just one food and if there's an apocalypse and you can't get meat it's not a good time for constipation and diarrhea. It's better to add some other proteins and fats in there folks.
Vegan Diet starves your Brain. We evolved as Meat Eaters.
So glad this information is becoming more and more popular. There is a long way to go yet before the general public understands fat and the brain.
Georgia is the sunshine in the diet

@@GeorgiaEdeMDHi Georgia, I devoured (excused the pun) your brilliant book. I went from a ‘whole’ food plant based diet to grass fed beef (mainly ground beef), 25 grams of raw lamb liver, and a can of sardines in water each day, with water as my sole fluid. Dropping the Greek yogurt and eggs after reading your book also had a big impact on me as well.
The improvement in my mental health has been profound!! My physical health was already pretty good, but has also improved.
One thing not mentioned is the simplicity benefit of whole food carnivore e.g. no shopping list, no recipes, minimal cooking time and cleaning up. We are the only species that eats and drinks for entertainment.
Your book has helped literally transform my life. I love watching your videos as well as you are such a beautiful person with such a kind soul. Sending you a massive hug and deepest gratitude from New Zealand. Thank you for being you. 🙏 ❤️ Regards Glenn

100 years ago sugar which was expensive and in short supply was deregulated in America, the price fell through the floor as the market was flooded with sugar, no coincidence that our health and well being has been in decline since. Cheap sugar was manna from heaven for the food industry. As Dr. Ede stated our health started to become worse over the last 100 years, the correlation is the deregulation of sugar. Things always happen for a reason. Keep up the good work.
And industrial seed oils
@@vittoriaseaman9240 💯% 👌
Not just sugar. Wheat was re-engineered and is now toxic, and saturated fat was demonised.
Humans have been eating sugar for hundreds of years, albeit not in the quantity of today.I beleive that its the seed oils that are fueling this rapid decline in human health.Most people cook in them as well as restaurants and seed oils are in the vast majority of highly processed food.Seed oils inhibits the bodies ability to digest sugar so along with the excess sugar and seed oils we have an explosion of diabetes world wide from children to adults.
Exacto, Great
Have a brother recently diagnosed with diabetes but doctors are unsure whether it is type 1 or 2
I asked him what his fasting insulin levels were as I had previously asked him to get that checked but he said that the doctor wouldn’t check as it was irrelevant 😢
It's such an important test and relatively inexpensive. As Georgia points out, you can get the test done yourself, just need to find an online blood test ordering service :)
It's important to remember that doctors who graduated at the bottom of their class have the same diploma on their wall.
in Russia they check all the diabetic patients for insulin together w glucose, of course people only have glucose meters at home, but they all know their insulin, wtf
Life Extension has almost all tests available, and fairly reasonable. My sister and I did the glucose tolerance test with insulin. For that one, if you want the insulin too, you do have to call them and ask about it.
Time to change the Dr

I really feared my brain fog issues. So I started MCT oil and magnesium tablets daily. My brain started noticeably clearing up. Now I began the carnivore diet and in less than 2 weeks my brain fog is gone but still short term memory loss. Cannot wait to see if my short term memory comes back after 6 months or a year on carnivore diet.
Loves you, Dr Ede for all your information! ❤
Thanks for sharing, let us know how you go with the carnivore approach!
You need fruit, fructose..
Noi other food on earth feeds the brain cells only fructose in fruit...❤
Proper human nutrition plus following circadian rhythmic guidelines will help most people. It’s not so much an imbalance in the brain but more an energy shortage.
Interesting! We'd love to hear more about this theory.
Yes, we are big believers in eating real food too Keith, as is Georgia! www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/how-low-carb-eating-works/
The other day I watched an episode of Four Corners called 'The Kids Who Can't Go to School' which is about the huge problem of school refusal. I had similar problems with my two boys about twenty years ago. All through the program I was thinking that we wouldn't have these problems if people knew how bad the food most of us eat really is. I had a hard time trying to work out what foods were affecting my boys and wish this information was available then.
So excited when Dr. Ede said a mixture of ketones and glucose for the brain is optimum, with just less glucose than ketones. This has been my suspicion for a while but first time ive heard it discussed by someone else. I have been trying to have as minimum carb as i can from whole foods only.
So glad you found the webinar informative and inspiring. We have lots more resources that share the benefits of low carb and a digital program if you'd like more support in maintaining your low carb approach.

Been on keto a week n my brain is alive again!! Feel fog has lifted and I feel more energised! Yay!!
Great job Paula!
haha! Canadian here..thanks for the conversion to mmol/L! I had to pause the vid and do the conversion. I've not had mental health issues but have been able to lose weight and battle T2D with OMAD one meal a day and keto (
You're welcome! You're also right that the mental health benefits are not usually highlighted because unfortunately, there have not been many good clinical trials conducted to investigate the link between diet and the various mental health disorders - but Dr Ede is changing that.
I have to say as a carnivore, coffee with cream, (pure cream) is my one weakness and I'll never give it up. It's the one love of my life.
Can't agree more. Done water/tea fasts vs. coffee w half and half and had completely equal benefits. Effect on mood and energy from coffee were massively positive. Never giving it up no matter what
I will not give up coffee. It just plain old makes me feel good.
I was having coffee in my cream, I had to give it up when I realised how many litres of cream I was consuming, now I’ve lost more weight and sleep better!
Just had a ground beef burger and 3 fresh fried eggs prepared in grass fed butter… now it’s time for my one cup of coffee😉
No one says you have to! Definitely not one perfect diet, we're all different!
So grateful for this. I’ve been raising my protein intake, especially that I’m building muscle, and this convo further confirms the need to always include red meat on my grocery list.
Priorising protein is a key part of low carb, along with consuming plenty of healthy fats for fuel - especially if you're working out at the gym.

Fascinating! Thank you! 🙏

Awesome vid, thanks. Georgia is an eloquent advocate for a logical change to Western dietary practices.
Couldn't agree more!
It's not logical, it's empirical, and the studies on nutrition recommending this diet for general use (as opposed to prescribed therapeutically) do not exist.
@l.w.paradis2108 reverting to a style of eating through which we evolved for over 2 million years is totally logical.
@@JulioMacarena We have? There are billions of vegetarians outside the West, and Eastern Orthodox Lent is mostly vegan. Do they have our problems?
There is not one major religion in the world that says you can eat any meat, in any quantity, at any time, and in combination with any other food. Not one. Why would that be? Tell me your logic.
@l.w.paradis2108 who cares about religion? All of them emerged after or around the same time that we invented agriculture. For 2 million years before that, we ate mainly animal products. Science has shown this through stable isotope bone analysis.

Spiritual? There is no major religion in the world that believes you can eat any meat in any quantity at any time and in combination with any other foods.

Very good information, Metabo law in Japan!!! Or if you are size medium and Up , you probably are insulin resistance.
Several months ago I told my therapist that I changed my diet and was starting to feel better … she seemed skeptical… after a little more conversation, I asked her what she ate on a daily basis. She looked at me quizzically… and said hmm.. I never thought to ask about that. Me neither… until now…
Sadly, most medical professionals receive little to no training in nutrition, so we're not surprised!
Being a therapist means you got a degree to be one. But the person who got the degree can have mental health problems themself. Anyone can enroll in those programs.

I got one of my three write ups at my Behavioral Therapy job by trying to suggest that diet plays an important role in mental health and behavior.

I got auto immune disease about 15 years ago. When it first happened, I was puking every single day for 2 years, and I was nauseous every single day for another 4 after that, then I still getting nauseous every other day at least once a week for another 3 years and im just now getting to the point where I feel semi-normal. I could ONLY eat eggs for the first 6 years, anything else I would puke up. Including juice, spinach, strawberries, any kind of whole and natural food. Only eggs, and cheese. There was a few specific brands of corn chips I would get to put the cheese on. Then the spices like turmeric and cyanne pepper.
Doing things like eating eggs, not eating processed food, replacing table sugar in coffee with honey, eating medicinal mushooms (psychedelic and Red Reishi) were all things I think saved my life.
EDIT: Shes more extreme on this stuff than I am though. You can have sugar, you can have alcohol, you can have carbs, you just don't want to be doing it every week. If you are really sick like I was, then you do want to cut all that stuff out entirely until you recover completely.
Hi, we're glad that you figured out a path to better health and sorry to hear about your negative experiences trying to help clients navigate their nutritional wellness. Eating fewer processed foods is one of the best things we can do for our health, but a lot of folk find it overwhelming to think about.

What about the effects of oxalate on the brain?
I’ve heard some info about this from Sally K. Norton. Needs to be much more info on this topic. Very critical.
Google it. Google has the answers.
All great and accurate info. I want to spread the word on something I just found out for myself. I cured many things on keto but after a deviation into low carb and coming back to keto, my energy level was bad and i felt off. Fasting for 24hrs and my ketones would only be .7. I started taking acetyl l carnitine and my energy levels are great all day now. My 24hr fast has ketones at 3.0 . My morning ketones used to be 0.3, now they are 1.7. Carnitine is the amino acid responsible for taking fat from your blood and putting it into mitochondria. It is a great supplement if you burn fat for fuel
Congrats on the progress and for being a great example of taking control of your own health :)
Awesome info! I better start cutting down my coffee
Are you drinking multiple cups of coffee daily?! That's a lot! You can also try limiting carbs to reduce inflammation and stress for your body and brain.

@@marietheresa1709@mariepaukowits1709 It doesn't sound excessive, but if you're drinking milky latte or cappuccino, just watch for the higher carb intake. Perhaps try unsweetened almond milk or black coffee for at least one cup.

The reason the medical community is fixated on cholesterol is because the test for it is a cheap and easy. Serum insulin tests are expensive and relatively complex. If, 70 years ago, the case was opposite, we may have have had a huge tool to reduce CVD, with no need for statins, The inflammation caused by sustained high serum insulin levels in the spikes is likely a significant cause of heart issues.
Unfortunately the science on cholesterol is not widely understood. Defeat Diabetes founder Dr Peter Brukner OAM asked Dr Paul Mason to break it down in this webinar if you're interested --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/free-webinars/the-cholesterol-controversy/

I hope to be able to go to the gym again some day. Right now I cant because of "lack of motivation" caused by these meds.
Sometimes we need to take baby steps - if you're able, perhaps take a walk in nature, or try doing micro sets at home (e.g. calf raises while you brush your teeth, squats while the kettle boils), or walk up and down the stairs 10 times. Every little movement will help until you feel you have the energy to attend the gym.

Great presentation. Impressive was that Dr. Ede relied on NO anecdotal stories.

Come on guys, we're made of red meat. Why the heck would it harm us? Love you guys, keep it up.
Well, that cannot be a relevant argument because cows, sheep and pigs etc. which people eat, don't eat meat. Or do you eat wolves? I am not against eating read meat.
@@SallaTyrvainen-to8yj A wolf wouldn't eat a wolf either. We don't eat anything that eats animals, at least not deliberately. Even vegans eat animal accidently in minute form, they just don't care.

53:48 ive drank coffee practically every day of my life since I was about 8 years old, I drink more coffee than water now and don't suffer from any problems of dehydration.
I am also somewhat usual in that caffeine has a paradoxical effect on me and it used to make me tired, now it does basically nothing since I drink it so much.
Coffee is good for you, the shit we put in coffee (including table sugar) is not. I use Honey in place of sugar now, unbelievably massive difference, I stopped getting head aches. Id argue that home made coffee can be a nutritional supplement depending on the quality of what you get. Its good for most people that don't have problems with caffeine, even helps prevent some gut and colon cancers.
Ive also tested this by removing it from my diet for months several times before, it made no positive impact on my health or mood. Only switching out the sugar to honey did
Wow, this is so interesting. Honey is also a sugar (both table sugar and honey are made from glucose and fructose), so it's fascinating that honey has lessened your headaches. If you're curious about the best low carb sweeteners, you can read this breakdown by dietitian Nicole Moore APD --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/are-sweeteners-better-than-sugar/
@@defeatdiabetes I would never put a sweetener in my body willingly, id sooner gorge myself on table sugar
What about the strsshormones in meat and all the added hormones and antibiotica an now also the MRNA? Is that healthy?
Doubt it. That's why they say to get the cleaner meat, grass fed if decent grass. Scotland here, cows are pretty much allowed to roam on decent grassy hills without many antibiotics.
We always say to look for the best quality food and ingredients you can afford. If it's real food, and you're avoidng ultra-processed foods as much as possible, you're already a few steps ahead!
Do you want an eagle 🦅 brain or a hummingbird brain?
Both are amazing birds.
Seeing as hummingbirds live primarily on sugar, we'd have to go for the eagle brain 😉
What Is the food we should eat.
At Defeat Diabetes we recommend following a program that's low in carbs (10% total calories) and higher in protein (30% total calories) and healthy fats like butter and ghee (60% of total calories). That's because evidence shows that limiting our carbohydrate intake improves insulin resistance and blood glucose, and reduces inflammation.

💥 Each doctor says a different thing. I'm completely lost. Some say that human beings by design were not made to eat meat, that we should consume vegetables. Some people advocate for carnivore diet... 😮. Some talk about keto diet and even intermittent fasting. I'm pre diabetic, or a little diabetic, and I don't know what to do. I don't need to lose weight, I'm already too thin. 😮😮
We recommend following the science and experimenting yourself. If you have a CGM these can be really helpful to understand how different foods and dietary approached affect your blood glucose. At Defeat Diabetes we recommend a low carb approach which is acknowledged by peak bodies globally as an effective way to achieve remission from type 2 diabetes and return blood glucose to non-diabetes ranges. If you're curious, you can read more on the science guiding our Low Carb Program here ---> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/science/show-me-the-evidence-a-low-carb-approach-to-managing-type-2-diabetes/ and our many success stories here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
Vegan/anti meat doctors will say meat is not good. It's understandable that many people are confused. Look up the works of doctor Weston A Price, he studied primitive tribes in the 1930s, traditional diets were high in meat, seafood and fat, the people adhering to their traditional diet were healthy. When they adopted the flour, seed oil, grain diets their health declined dramatically. If you are diabetic you are better off with low carb diet, get a glucometer and check to see what happens when you eat certain foods.

My granddaughter was put on meds for ADD at an early age, I wonder if that was the cause of her heart failure at the age of 31. Maybe a change of diet would have been better.
We're so sorry about your grand-daughter. While we can't comment on your theoretical question, there's evidence that our highly-inflammatory Western diets are contributing to increased occurrence of chronic diseases. Perhaps adopting a lower carb diet could improve our overall health and longevity. Food for thought.

What about lower back inflammation, mild arthritis type condition?
There's lots of evidence that a low carb approach can help reduce inflammation - you can read more on this topic here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/type-2-diabetes/inflammation-what-damage-is-it-really-doing-to-your-body/
Years ago I suffered with chronic lower back pain. Four days into Atkins it disappeared completely. It only reappeared when I ate wheat.
@@Alignedwithmyself ive been carnivore 2 weeks now and my lower back pain is pretty much gone. it was severe for 3 years. I had the same feeling about the wheat I was eating I would eat a whole sourdough loaf when I did this I got foggy brain and flare ups the next day

HAHA! Funny.
I need to gain 20 pounds as soon as possible. I’m on an anti-inflammatory diet. I know good fats don’t cause weight gain. What can I eat to gain the weight and then go back to the anti-inflammatory diet?
Not quite true - even good fats will cause weight gain if you eat enough! If you’re aiming to gain weight while following a low carb diet, here are our top tips:
- Eat plenty of calories: While we don’t focus on calorie counting, eating real, nutrient-dense foods can help you stay in tune with hunger and fullness cues.
- Ease up on fasting: If you’re practicing intermittent fasting, consider adjusting your fasting window to allow for more eating time.
- Eat calorie-dense foods: Opt for foods rich in healthy fats and protein, such as pork, nuts, seeds, avocados and cheese.
- Add extra healthy fats: Use olive oil, coconut oil, and butter in cooking to increase your calorie intake.
What age are you? Resistance training, lift weights, step up your protein. Supplement with BCAA and Creatine to help with DOMS and lazy muscles.

30:02 prediabeties and brain glucose spikes and inflammation
31:20 pre diabetes and insulin. Fasting blood glucose will stay normal on the road to type 2 diabetes . GP’s check fasting blood glucose and your hemoglobin a1c to see if you already have type 2 diabetes. What you want to know is what’s keeping your blood sugar normal for all those years .which is RISING INSULIN over the years keeping your blood sugars normal till it can’t cope with all the carbohydrates coming in . Rising insulin causes INSULIN resistance which means insulin can’t get though and the brain can’t process glucose and turn it into energy or anything else without adequate insulin . This is the path to Alzheimer’s and other mental health conditions
34:00 cholesterol/ what do you say to people who worry about LDL being to high ??? And doctors want to give a statin ??? .
I just keep it simple . Chicken, beef, salmon, eggs, rice , oats, blueberries, pears, and bananas, pretty much it. I avoid anything with more than 1 ingredient. These corporations love to add unnecessary ingredients
For people with type 2 diabetes adopting a low carb approach, we would recommend skipping the oats (high carb!) and sticking to berries as a preferred fruit option as bananas and pears are higher in sugar.

That 110blood glucose -for diabetics also -sounds impossible for me
Hello, it may take some time for the body to regulate blood glucose levels,
It could take years, it depends a lot on each person's body,
But stay strong, and look for lots of information about fat to help lower blood sugar.
Below are some interesting ideas
Thank you for the great work, keep going
Sharing my opinion after 2 years on the Carnivora and ketogenic diet
(2 years between dietary transition (removing complex carbohydrates (Natural) as I removed the industrialized ones on the first day of the dietary change)
1. Changing foods requires time for the body to begin adapting to new food consumption in this case (Protein and Fat) the body requires time to change its source of burning energy,
When we are eating carbohydrates our body is always in total despair.
This can happen on a carnivorous or ketogenic diet, but in an intelligent way.
2. Every Body has a health problem to correct
(No one is the same when it comes to health problems, even if they have the same disease)
3. Losing fat or gaining muscle can be an easier task for some people, this is due to their body, which may have a problem in a certain organ.
(Which was not diagnosed by laboratory tests) due to several factors
4. The beginning of the diet is very delicate, as we want to heal quickly, at least overnight,
(We can start the improvement process when we change our diet on the first day, but we will not be cured overnight. It is not possible to cure years of a wrong diet in just a few days or even months or years, it depends on one body to another)
Total transition I believe in around 5 years,
For those who are only on the carnival diet along with the ketogenic diet, interspersing the two in the same period
5. Observing your evolution is very important, be it in the physical or mental aspect (Mental Energy, Relaxation in your daily activities, patience, emotional control, concentration, among others.
Your physical energy, Desire to do some exercises, among others) even if it is moderate, the simple fact of walking, I don't do running exercise, I don't think it's healthy. due to several factors, one of which is that research has shown that most athletes who run and play football or do all the exercises that use the heart more have more heart attacks, perhaps because of the carbohydrates, etc...
6. The most important of all
(Follow your Ancestral Food instinct, which was taken from humans)
Which ?
(When you want to eat more protein, eat, when you want to eat more fat, eat. When you don't want to eat, don't eat) Do you want to gain weight?
Exercise with moderate weight
I hope I contributed in some way
Is stevia ok on keto?
Yes, we like and recommend stevia. More on sweeteners here: www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/are-sweeteners-better-than-sugar/
Hello,
Stevia isn't good for you, it's sugar just the same
Change your diet without processed foods,
Don't forget all the sugar in the world comes from natural sources
Doesn't mean they're healthy
Pancreas removes all excess sugar from the blood, your liver can produce all the glycogen it needs, so we should add some type of sugar,
I'm on the carnivore and ketogenic diet and I'm getting better and better!!!
Hope this helps
Question to those who were (especially long term) vegan and changed to meat eating.....
How did your mind change?
I have a family member who suffers but doesn't listen to the facts about the vegan diet. Is there a way to get into his mind and help him change?
short answer is "no". Most people will not consider a change until they face a future without something they cherish, like some aspect of health that has become compromised. I'm 78 and eat a relaxed carnivore diet, had arthritis in my mid 20's and have none now. I talk about my family and activities, not my diet.
dont forget dehydration as a cause for brain-fog.
And statins.
So true! So many people mistake thirst for hunger - staying on top of your water intake is important.
Fantastic content
Glad you think so!
What about intermittant fasting?
Intermittent fasting is a great way to balance blood glucose levels, as well as other health issues including blood pressure and inflammation. More on the great benefits of fasting here: www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/low-carb/keto-paleo-intermittent-fasting-whats-the-deal/

There is no one size fits all approach to diet. Dr Ede is really focusing on reducing carbohydrates which has a profound impact on metabolic health and has overwhelming evidence to support its efficacy. Why not try a gentle experiment with this approach?

Consider doing the research yourself, at the NIH library, which is not political. It has papers from all over the world, available for free. Don't be intimidated by your first look at scientific papers. I learned to read them while caring for an elderly parent.
The benefits for most people (NOT all) of onions, garlic, fermented cabbage, cruciferous vegetables, and berries is huge. The microbiome is made healthy by these, for most people.

Kelly Brogan already wrote this book .
What I don't understand for folks on the carnivore diet, is who eats just one thing? With all the beautiful food that we can eat - different coloured vegetables, lovely nuts, beans, lentils, healthy grains. Then we have people like Jordan Peterson (don't get me wrong - I love the guy), who ONLY eats beef. I just struggle to get it. I'm a vegetarian and have been for years. I'm so healthy and strong for my age. If you look at the animal kingdom, all of the critters who only eat meat, live short lives - 10 to 15 years max. If you look at the long living critters like parrots, tortoises, elephants etc, all live very long lives. How do we explain that
Rough eye rockfish can live 200 years, eats shrimp and smaller fish. killer whales and crocodiles live 120 years, Greenland shark live 270 years. When you don't eat something or have it in the house, it's like it doesn't exist and you don't even think about it. Fruit and veg has the highest levels of food waste about 45%. Most of the fibre eaten goes right through your digestion and ends up unused in the toilet. We didn't evolve by importing thousands of plant products from around the world. One product can supply all nutrients with many dishes, grass fed meat, liver, blood, and kidneys. intestine
Dr Georgia Ede (in this video) is an advocate of the paleo diet - a diet that includes fruits, vegetables, lean meats, fish, eggs, nuts and seeds - for brain & mental health. In our Defeat Diabetes program (which is for those living with metabolic disorders like type 2 diabetes), we recommend a low carb diet which can be followed by vegetarians.
if you are totally happy with your diet don't change a thing and don't fuss over what anyone else eats. Go follow your passions, enjoy life, be kind. I'm a 78 yr young carnivore who still has a lovely time at church potlucks in the face of abundant carbs and people who eat them. God bless ❤️🙏❤️
Dr Ede, the gut issues probably started with perimenopause and exacerbated by your diet. We need to optimize everything once in that meno zone.
I have been a vegetarian all my life and I am eating plant based foods that work really really well for my system. And I am doing okay. I am in my mid forties. I can't suddenly switch over to a carnivore diet. My body will reject it because it isn't used to it. This lady actually doesn't know what she is talking about. You can't just suddenly start becoming a carnivore after you reach your 40's. The human body doesn't work like that. You body will have soo many problems adjusting to the new type of food especially if it is something totally new. As we get older, our bodies will have a harder time accepting new stuff. I am indian, but I eat all types of vegetarian cuisine like Italian, Mexican, Chinese, and of course indian etc.. And I am sticking to that because that is what my body accepts and is comfortable with. I take egg indirectly through cakes, cookies, brownies and any baked goods, but I can't eat eggs that are actually cooked for breakfast because I didn't grow up eating like that. Once you reach middle age, it's very very hard to change what your system is already used to and try to introduce something new into your body.
Hi there, thanks for your feedback. Some people do find it difficult to adapt their diet to a low carb, healthy fat approach after decades of being told to eat vast quantities of carbohydrates. We recommend taking it slowly, and treating it as a gentle experiment. We've had members in their 80s, with type 2 diabetes for more than two decades, start out with low carb and reverse type 2 diabetes and improve blood glucose - so it is achievable if you can adapt your mindset. Here's a story from Defeat Diabetes member Bill who did exactly that. We hope it inspires you believe that you can change the way you eat - even after middle age! www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/bill-grattan/
If your healthy just keep eating what you do now, don't change just because you see something online, i know of perfectly fit and healthy vegans, i worked with 3 and they were fine, never off work sick or ill and were active, one ran the marathon in 2:28, the top distance athletes, cyclists etc eat a large amount of carbohydrates, how many top sportspeople are 'Carnivores' unless there's a specific medical condition don't stress yourself out looking for the 'magic bullet '..
If you are not overweight and your fasting insulin comes back under 6, A1C under 5.6 then your body is performing. The Doctor is talking about mental illness, if you want to help with food then this could be beneficial.
She does know what she’s talking about because it’s been proven by her patients . If you aren’t having any mental health issues and your metabolically healthy that’s great . India actually now has the highest rate of diabetes type 2 so that’s something to think about . And I know many lifetime vegans who started introducing meat and doing low carb keto or carnivore after their health failed they said it was difficult at first but seeing the befits they adapted well
Almost 40 still can’t drive.
Get off the meds, including metformin.
We love to help people reduce and come off medications under the supervision of a low carb GP. In fact, 44% of program members have been able to reduce or stop medication for type 2 diabetes. You can read more about their success here ---> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
No oils? Like avocado, olive?
We recommend natural fats and oils including avocado, coconut and olive oil. However we agree with Dr Ede on avoiding vegetable and seed oils (cottonseed, rapeseed, vegetable oil, soybean oil etc) More on their adverse effects here: www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/nutrition/why-should-i-avoid-seed-oils/
She is on the right track but gives no explanation about moderate amounts of wheat or red wine.
If you're following a low carb approach we recommend maintaining around 50g carbs per day, with 133g fat and 150g protein. If you're curious about adopting this approach, we have an article that might be helpful --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/baby-steps-to-low-carb-your-simple-guide-to-getting-started/
