I like OMAD. I exercise in a fasted state which feels wonderful. Fasting is so easy because you don’t have to do anything and you’re not always thinking about eating. I’ve been on OMAD 6 years now.
I've been on keto for 6 years. I reached my optimum weight within 6 months and found it was easy to fall below what I consider a healthy weight. (I base healthy weight on how I feel and look). Eating once a day after reaching my optimum weight was not allowing me to be healthy and I didn't want to eat 2 meals. I ate until I was full but found it wasn't enough to stay and look healthy. I love coffee so I decided to put butter, coconut oil and a small shot of heavy crème together and blend it in a bullet, it is a delicious blend of fat and energy. According to this it is a meal but it keeps me from becoming a skeleton and I usually have 2 or 3 throughout the day. I love this way of eating and haven't been sick since I started keto. I'm 67, on zero medications and zero aches and pains. I have ton's of energy and stay outdoors as much as possible. I sleep a minimum of 9 hours and never need a nap. Treat your body right and you will be rewarded with a most enjoyable life. In other words, don't just listen to Dr. Cywes, take advantage of the knowledge he is unselfishly sharing with you and do it, you won't regret it.
BTW, after watching this I will go back to at least 2 meals a day, never knew it was a negative to stay OMAD. Thank you Dr. Cywes!!!
L
I'm 66 and been lo carb since the pandemic started. I lost the 12-15 pounds I'd always wanted to and now hover within 1-3 pounds. Never felt better and no meds either.
Please can you share your exact recipe for coffee so I can taste and see if it is something I would like? I have yet to find black coffee tasty. Some say they put cocao in theirs terrible taste. Sometimes I believe some people just eat whatever even if it taste bad, as long as they are getting the benefit from the food.
@@blackdiamond2977 tablespoon of cold pressed coconut oil, table spoon of grass-fed butter, tablespoon of heavy cream. Mix with instant coffee. I put it in a blender or a bullet to get it frothing. Oh yeah, stevia if needed.
@@smacker360 - Thank you so much will try.
I've been keto.4.3 years and eat when I am hungry and find most days are 2mad. As a binge eater in remission I also am very aware if I allow myself to get to hungry, it can trigger a binge episode. I recently had to self evaluate because I allowed carb creep and drinking calories between meals. Great message .
This message was exactly what was needed. I started snacking again and eating when not hungry. It's ketogenic food, but it was to get that dopamine hit.
Calories for your head!
coffee is also a dopamine hit. lol. and can lead to over eating
@@themaster-jp6sp Really? People who drink coffee with zero carbs and zero calories are grossly overweight? Now, if you're talking about a Starbucks coffee with all kinds of crap and topped with whipped cream, then you're right.
@@Nonduality not sure if we are reading a different comment but they said overeating, not grossly overweight
@@themaster-jp6sp I agree that there could be negative effects of coffee. Coffee needs to be monitored for its unique effects on each person.
This is a tremendous lecture. This guy is brilliant. I love his "stallone" moments, too, lol. Just brilliant and simply put.
I'll eat a plate of eggs, bacon, beef and cheese which I know fills my stomach. But my mind might as well had eaten nothing because I could still eat an entire cake if I wanted to
Choose to not to
Where is the vegetables your friend
When I think of all I can't eat..I remember my friends who can't walk..shop..travel..from sick bodies due to type2 diabetes..63yrs old lost 128lb n 1year keto is king ..monkfruit is my go-to
@@keithcitizen4855 vegetables are useless, some of them are toxic 🤢🤢

Dr Cywes, you said that long-term insulin suppression is not good. Could you please explain why is that from a biochemical point of view?
I remember Dr Ben Bikman once explained the difference between pathological and physiological insulin resistance and that ketogenic diet doesn't not cause any insulin resistance. It is just beta cells start to degrade stored insulin into the insulin vesicles when not used for long time to be recycled.
I would appreciate your perspective on this issue.
About 3 months after starting LCHF/keto about 5 years ago, I realised I was simply not hungry in the morning and, though I'd always eaten breakfast until then, I simply had a couple of cups of coffee with a little heavy cream, just enough to take the "edge" off it early in the morning. Been doing that ever since. In my experience, 2 meals a day came naturally: nobody told me to do it.
Great video. I've been keto for almost 3 years. Been at goal weight for about 2 years. Omad Mon-Fri & 2mad on weekends. I do have a coffee with full cream milk on weekdays after ~ 15hr fast, so maybe that's technically 2mad. I listen to my body & eat when I'm hungry & to satiety. It's truly so easy. I feel I'm so fat adapted that even if I have a treat meal, I can resume normal eating the next day with no hunger pangs (blood sugar lows). I know most people find eliminating carbs almost entirely, unthinkable, yet when you do it properly, it's easy, intuitive & sustainable.
I am down to OMAD and it is greatly helping. I never thought I was overeating like I was! I feel much better now not putting food in my mouth so much. I am free to go out and do things without worrying about eating first. My grocery bill is half now and I don’t need to be in the store all the time getting things. This advice is priceless and this Dr is truly trying to help people.
Completely agree w/"do what suits you" as for meal times. I'm done listening to people tell me how "bad"/"counter-productive" /etc. it is to eat between 6pm & midnight. It's simply what works well for me~ and for my husband. We don't need or think about food until at least 5pm, it's just how it is, so we wait to eat until we can sit down together~ whether that be 5pm or 9pm. We are adults, & we are responsible for our health, for our quality of life!
We have coffee in the morning, & my husband often has coffee a few more times throughout the day. He enjoys it, & always has~ even when we were carb eaters, prior to a couple of years ago. It's been nice to keep that consistent, & same goes for our walks, swimming, and/or going to the gym together. We enjoy it, & we like doing things together~ always have.
Most days, we eat one meal, & once or twice a week, we eat twice a day. We just eat a whole lot of delicious meat, & not much of anything else~ maybe some cole slaw or green beans once in a while, or even a steak salad~ because we like them. =)
We have slimmed down, trimmed up, gained even more muscle, & have amazing labs @56 & 61 yrs old. My husband's quality of life is my priority, & I am his. It suits us well.
Appreciate your channel very much, & find value in every post~ Thank You for choosing to put the time & effort into producing them. ~The Whitson's in AZ/USA
The tribe killed a gazelle then had to wait 6 hrs for their eating window to open🤔
@@robertcywes2966 yeah, makes no sense
I love this more like a love story I’m jealous.
I've lost 42 lbs and I'm at a healthy weight. 5'4" 139 lbs. The constant guilt of not being able to do OMAD is/was de-railing me! Thank you Dr. C!
I Fast sometimes and OMAD and 2MAD and 3MAD it depends on the day I have to learn to give myself permission to eat without guilt.
I really appreciate these recent videos clarifying the difference between chronic insulin resistance, the theraputic period to re-establish insulin sensitivity, and then the (hopefully) rest of your life where you are insulin sensitive and can eat a more varied diet, just avoiding the really obvious pitfalls like sugary snacks and drinks with 0 nutrition that will force your body into insulinr esistance again.
I love you called BS on the meal timing. I'm hungriest at night. Eating makes me sleepy and when fasted I have a hard time falling asleep.... I feel like my body has given me all the information I need for meal timing. Sorry science, I'm trusting common sense on this one.
Can I come out of the wood shed yet? Humility restored. You got me out of the 400 club, I have to work harder to stay out of the 300 club now. It's horrible to look in the mirror and see the stretch marks and excess skin, the damage I did to my body for years. It's not about weight it's health now.
Thanks Dr Rob, your videos have helped me tremendously. For the last 2 years I've eaten 1 or 2 meals a day. I now mostly eat 2 starting after 16 - 18 hours fasting. I was pre-diabetic, snacked frequently and weighed 178 pounds at 5 feet 7 inches. Now I am 132 pounds and my HbA1C is good and my triglycerides are low normal. I am 76 and still an active walker and cyclist and hope to have a few more good years yet.
I lost 35 pounds with OMAD and extended fasting over a span of 10 months. It worked, however for me personally it was not sustainable over a longer period of time and started to gain the weight back. I found 2 meals a day with a healthy diet as the best balance.
I am 9 days into OMAD during the week and 2MAD on weekend. Felt great, but then yesterday I was weak (literally) and had an emotional event. I woke up this a.m. and just started again. It was a mistake, but I don't regret it either. It is all a learning process.
I'm doing 20:4 and feel amazing 🥰
I don't get hungry during my fast and I feast healthy and well 👍
I eat twice 💕
Love it when the Doc swears. Makes my day. Sometimes it's the simple things in life 😊
Good day Doc, everyone 😁
I enjoy it too. Even better in my home language
His cuss words must have carbs. Makes me happy
I’ve been using a large iced coffee with heavy cream as a bridge on your advice for months! It lasts all morning getting me to my 1 carnivore meal around 2 PM. Such a practical tip! Thank you!
Iced Drinks are rough on the pancrease FYI just a thought - but if it helps you great!!
@@deirdreniemann4044 how so? Who said, where's the research? If you make a claim please back it up. It could really help me, someone. Thanks 😊
@@christyconatser2680 As if we never drank cold water for eternity? Lol
Hi Dr. Cywes. I've been Keto/Carnivore for years and have followed you and Dr. Berry the whole time. I've done it all. I've been in most of the Groups, I've listened to everybody's suggestions and demands, tried it, failed, tried again, failed... etc. Like you're saying, I have found 2MAD to be the best for me. How did I find out? Trial & error. Not from listening to some new Guru, fanatic, or someone trying to sell supplements, but trying it all myself. IMO: Everyone should be doing this and finding their comfort zone.
Aloha Steve, glad you're still around! I cut back to just two of the groups and now only follow Cywes and Berry. Really helps to cut out some of the confusion.
@@marklanders630 Hi Mark! Hope you are doing well. 👍
What is your fasting window? over 8h?
@@MrSojek My 2 meals are about 6 hours apart. Some late breakfast and an early dinner. So typical 18/6 Intermittent Fasting.
I just enjoy two myself. Easy and gives time for first meal to empty. I don't feel deprived at all.
A place has been set aside specifically for you in Heaven. I hope it'll be at my table! 🥰 And no rush!
You always seem to read my mind. I'll echo what's been said here a few times, this was exactly what I needed. I've watched it twice now and my former confusion has abated.
I've been comfortably OMAD for over a year and it felt...weird and right. Learning to listen to my body, something you and I talked about recently, made a huge change for me. I love how you said not to "set" fasting, to let it flow from your natural day, that was a wonderful philosophy. Whenever I attempted to set a time limit, I ended up failing. When I naturally fasted, it was effortless.
The biggest thing you and Dr. Brewer have done for me personally is showing how YOU truly understand us because you ARE us. Thank you so much. 💓
🙂
Hey Dr. Cywes, I have a live and in person appointment with you 9 days and looking forward to it. I have been 2mad carnivore for almost just over 3 months and it wasn't until I went full carnivore that I could distinguish emotional snacking from biological snacking but it is super easy now. Like you, my urge to snack is a late night thing but now I can stop and actually hear my body when I ask if I want to snack because I am hungry (which is never no) or just an emotional event (which is of course what is happening). I appreciate the carb addiction approach more than any other way to take control of my eating so thank you so much for being here on YT where I found you. Looking forward to meeting you in person!
Look forward to meeting you
I so appreciate your opinions. Thank you Dr. Cywes.
THANK YOU!!! This was the message I needed right now.
I am always excited when I see you have a new video; this was another great one. Thank you.
Your are the BEST Dr. C - another excellent message that most of us need to hear
This was awesome! So many things I’ve been doing, that I need to change are actually pretty simple changes. Thank you for all the good content.
One of the best discussions I’ve heard on this topic. Low carb/carnivore since 2016. However, with a few relapses back to carbs along the way. Carnivore now but have been wrestling between omad and 2mad the last couple months. Some days omad is perfect but other days I really need 2mad due to hunger. Caloric needs seem to vary day to day. Per Shawn Baker’s book I’m now trying intuitive eating and this is working better. Your video really reinforces this message. Thank you! Appreciate all you do. This was just what I needed to hear now.
The distinction between therapeutic and conventional was very helpful.
I know most of this information, but really need this info to keep getting better. Feels like gathering around the coach before practice to get a talk on the fundamentals. Excellent!
Thank you. I've been on Keto since Dec. 17 and lost 42 Lbs & resolved T2D & other things. One fantastic side effect from all this is that my Allergies (severe 4++) and Asthma have gone way down. I don't take antihistamines every day and I have stopped all asthma medications. Then I realized I've stopped putting grass in my system!!
Thank you so much for helping me! I suffer from bulimia as a teen / young adult. Everything you say makes more sense than anything I’ve ever heard. Again, thank you!!❤️❤️❤️
Thank you for sharing all your hard earned education with us Dr. Cywes. You don't mince words and you get to the point. IOW no bullshit!
Thank you for this truth, it's so easy to get confused. I love Dr Bosworth BTW.
I’ve adopted you coffee sipping and love it! It takes me all morning to get through my iced coffee with heavy cream. THSNKS for all your research based information and suggestions built upon it!
I love your directness❤️
Perfect timing!! Needed to listen on how to get back to eating less gradually in the correct way. Now I can plan and follow this plan!! I will watch this episode again!!
1:28 to 1:56 = MIND BLOWN. Have to pause to absorb before watching the rest of the video.
Pure gold. Thank you!!!
Awesome, so real! Thank you.
This is my favorite video. I can relate completely.
Your explanation and interpretation of the facts is not necessarily fact, but an educated opinion.
I fast and try to push my meal into the night because that’s when I crave food the most too.
I did this! I use to be insulin resistant and would get hangry but over time I have worked my way from snacking every few hours, to three meals a day, to two meal a day to ultimately one meal a day, comfortably. I seem to feel better with one meal a day with less inflammation. I am def not keto because I will have the in-season nectarine but protein and fat is always the staple. Still work to do, but you will see progress over time! Keep going! Thanks Dr. Rob!
Love this! Perfect timing as several ketovore people I follow are tweaking their diet to Dr Boz’s approach for their mental and physical health. It leaves me wondering how a person can know which path is or will work best for them as they progress (therapeutic Keto, Carnivore, ketovore). I suppose trial & error plus how insulin sensitive one is. Seems like an ever changing continuum that we need to adjust as our bodies become healthier? Always appreciate your useful and thoughtful content! Looking forward to our next appointment next week.
It evolves. Start with no carbs.
My drink fist thing in the morning is a long sugarless Espresso cofee. Bridge 750 ml. beverage all day is warm green tea with lots of grated ginger and half a lime.On IF and on two meals a day.Lowest of the lowest carbs.No snacks.Thanks Doc. I love listening to your very informative podcasts.👏👍🥰
So glad that TH-cam recommended this video. The information about transitioning back to 2 or 3 meals a day is key to making low carb/keto/etc work long term. I haven’t seen any other popular “keto” channel talk about that, because most of them just parrot what they see from other channels.
For about a year I did a lot of experimentation. OMAD, 2MAD from 17:7 to 20:4, eat as often as I want within a 6 hr window. After a year I settled on 18:6 2MAD lunch and dinner, sometimes OMAD sometimes shorter eating window. I lost my last 30lbs and I've maintained for two years. Never hungry, feel great.
Great video! Sooooo true.
Very intriguing!
Spot on.
Thank you
I needed this.
Didn’t realize until one of your recent videos that you trained in Ann Arbor. What a great fellowship you went through! My wife and I lived outside of Ann Arbor in the early 90 s in Chelsea. I spent my career at GlaxoSmithKline and have fond memories of working with the staff at the University hospitals and yes I do remember that Wendy’s! 😂
Loved my time at Mott. Tom Brady was the qb. What more cd I want
Right on time message! I’m on TMAD 6months now,feeling good blood pressure normal now,but I have to push 2nd meal to 6 pm because I’ve been tempted to snack and now and then having lil keto snacks , No more! I’ve lost a dress size and I want to loose 3 more dress sizes.”I’m having a hard time losing weight 😭
Perfect!
This makes such perfect sense. It’s all about sustainability, isn’t it. In my case, I am nearly at my target weight and looking for where to go from here. I satisfy my cravings on OMAD with fruity flavored herbal teas during the day but it’s been a struggle to keep the electrolytes up during the hot summer months.
I've had a few people ask me what I eat and when I eat. What works for me is 2MAD since I was pretty much doing that before LCHF. That being said if I get hungry in the morning I will have some eggs and cheese. I've noticed on those days my dinner tends to be light. A lot of it is just listening to my body and being flexible with 16:8. I do know that adding in more exercise and resistance training has changed things for me and I am more cognizant of my energy levels in relation to meals.
I eat twice a day with intermittent fasting 18/6
Great talk! I have stopped naming my meals based on your earlier advice. Thanks!
Anti carb,anti dogma doc,well said!
Wow! I've been keto 4yrs and watched hundreds of videos. The truth in this video is just shocking to me. Especially that it is not common knowledge. I'm so grateful you speak your truth in the face of the party line.
I've been doing 2 a day for some time now. I try to eat my 2nd meal early and don't eat again until the morning. Never hungry. Even before keto, I usually only ate twice. Works for me.
Thank you❤
Truth!!❤❤
I mix it up and swing between strict carnivore, to keto, OMAD or TMAD or fasting simply by listening to my body. Lost 43lb steadily over the last 5 months, 9lb to goal weight. I sometimes track meals and macros, sometimes don't. I make a point of tracking if and when I feel I'm reaching for snacks that I know I don't need, or if I feel potential carb creep may be an issue.
Ive turned friends to Doc Cywes, but am learning that my bloodwork is much better with most meats cut out, most of the time.
Hi Dr Cywes, I’m sorry if my comment doesn’t directly relate to this video but I wanted to comment to your latest in the hope that you will see this, after just having been binge-watching some more of your videos. I find your channel to be one of the most helpful after learning a lot about Keto and low carb from the likes of the low carb down under sessions. I am a carb addict and the realisation of what this truly means was one of the lowest points of my life and I am still struggling with this. The comment that I would like to make is that whilst I have been overweight, with Keto and 0 carb I have managed to get to a comfortable weight but at no time have I been diagnosed as pre-diabetic or recognised myself or been recognised as being fat. You often state that unless you are sick or fat you are not an addict. Unfortunately after 151 days of 0 carb, 8 weeks ago I crashed and burned, for a variety of triggering incidents. Hearing you say that it’s only fat people with an addiction is hard as it really plays into triggers. I am working hard to get back to keto but my addict brain is putting up obstacles on an hourly basis. Would you mind not saying that it is only fat or diabetic people who have carb addiction please? Thank you :)
Thanks so much for your comment and affirmation. U may not be an addict but you certainly have a toxic abuse relationship w them. Best to abstain
Thank you ,i have lost 3 or 4 kilos and am trying to put on muscle so i can part time go back sheering as my buisines had taken a blow .
this message is what i needed to confirm my hunch that protein needs to be a eatenĺ little often not in one or two big gorging sessions, and wont build much muscle if im losing fat.
I now only snack at meal times although even that can get out of hand at a dinner party.😊
Wonder about our snacks. I can not seem to eat enough to hold me from breakfast to dinner. So I will have a bit of cheese or ounce of nuts and a cup of coffee. Then I’m okay. ( female, 67, small frame). Our life activities determine no more than about 10-12 hours of fast. (Granny-nanny privileges). So we can’t eat later than 9:00 am. Or earlier than 6-7 pm. We get up at 5:00 to retrieve the kids. Then mom gets home about 5-6 so we can’t start cooking until we get home about 6:30-7:00.
I think maybe I’m not the only petite woman who has this problem. Another potential topic maybe?
I love your videos ! This was a complete circle of the journey.. I am just over 4 years in , mainly carnivore for the last few years .. I’ve been listening to you about insulin suppression and I’m trying to eat 2 meals a day .. but I usually end up with one .. except weekends ! I do drink coffee and I use heavy cream 3 times a day so I’m hoping that helps me produce a little insulin !
In 2018 I went keto at the age of 75. I lost 95 lbs., and people told me I was too skinny. (The technicians and surgeons appreciated this when I had AAA surgery). Now after 4 years of mostly low carb I'm back to craving carbs to the point I can't resist. This is contributed to by the fact that in 2020 I began high intensity resistance training (per Dr Doug McGuff). I find it hard to balance getting enough to repair my muscles and staying low body fat.

So let yourself some after 6 month had a breakdown could not eat keto anymore so my daughter bought me some sweat keto treats made from dates so I ate half with coffee and my cravings for sweats stopped find a solution or you will start overeating again people are too rigid in their diet and at the end they break
What works for me is pretty much eating beef bacon butter and eggs. Are used to be intermittent fasting eating between 11 and 1 o’clock. But now I find myself getting hungry and eating by 9 AM and just having two eggs and some sort of meat. That I don’t eat for hours like I won’t eat until dinner I do zero snacking. There really are no snacks at work for me. I can’t eat cheese because it triggers my asthma and it processed snacks even if they’re keto or low-carb just don’t sound appetizing. I feel great and I’ve lost weight since April
Absolutely correct. Case by case. Person by person. No one size fits all. Certain your bariatric surgery patients eat several very small meals for the first year and sometimes two years. How often and what to eat? Depends on age, race, activity levels, sleep patterns, goals, lifestyle, present health status,.... Personally love 6 small meals a day. Est. 35 grams of protein per meal. I am not like Dr. Baker who can eat 2 lbs of beef in one meal. My diet is: Eggs, chicken breast, lean beef, seafood, milk, cheese, yogurt, sometimes coffee. Sometimes eat and walk at the same time. I lost 100 lbs. In one year (2020). Now want to eat in a small surplus to bulk up with lean muscle. Building muscle though resistance training is one of the main keys to life. The more muscle tissue, the higher BMR. Hard dieting / fasting will crash testosterone levels, cause sleep issues and cause a person to lose muscle tissue.
You are correct, my surgery was in 2001. I personally eat calories (carnivore foods) about 5 times a day. Fast with the seasons, 4 times a year. Maintaining at about 160"' at 5ft 4in. Size 4. Everyone needs to find what works for them. Husband is omad during the week. On weekends eats 3 times. He still has weight to lose, he is still having carb addiction issues.
I snack in the evenings, 1 snack (glass) of red wine during and after dinner! 2 meals a day work for me. I now keep a log of what I eat every day and therefore I know what my fat/protein/carb percentage intake is every day. I am pretty close to 60/30/10; it varies and carbs can be as low as 5% and up to 20%, but try and keep it close to 10%. Budget is 1700 to 2000 cals per day. Works for me! Occasionally I would do OMAD, but I prefer 2.
Thanks Doc! I need good guidance because I’m just 3 weeks into carnivore. I’m feeling well enough to make a choice, rather than respond to non- hunger urges most of the time. I want to choose a good option. Right now, I eat 2 meals. Mid morning and 6 pm dinner. Don’t know if I can skip the morning yet
Bridges are key.... coffee and tea. Two meals a day in a 6-8 hour window....... 95% of the time. I'm not perfect. When I do snack it is meat based.
Been doing Carnivore for 3 months...I eat when I'm hungry. I used to be a big "snacker" because I would try to follow a "fitness" diet where you count macros and would eat 5-6 meals a day...and even though I was in a calorie deficit, I would plateau very quickly....and I would be ravenous often. A lot of times I'd be counting the minutes to my next "meal," even if it was just a 300 calorie protein bar. When I first started Carnivore, maybe the first 2-3 weeks I was eating 3 meals a day...but I was never ravenous. Eventually I got to one meal a day for about a month, but as time has gone on I have migrated back to 2 meals a day and for me that is plenty. There have been times where I don't get a good night sleep, and I wake up wanting to eat the walls. When that happens I will eat breakfast, and I fully intend to eat lunch as sell, but my body doesn't get hungry until late afternoon and I end up having an early dinner. If I listen to my body, I have no desire to eat more than twice. In the last few weeks I've tried to get back to OMAD, but my body doesn't feel like like that is enough...so I am sticking to 2 meal for now. I figure as I get more insulin sensitive my body will gravitate to one meal..but if it doesn't, it doesn't. I am not losing weight the last month, but I am also not gaining weight. But I no longer get ravenous (unless I sleep poorly which is rare)...I no longer feel the hunger or emotional need to snack. That is a big win for me. I'm trusting the process and recognizing it took 40+ years to get my insulin resistance where it is, it's going to take a year or more to get that fixed...and the only way is to follow the best practices outlined by Doc. Used to be a big coffee drinker...I drink black coffee when I wake up in the morning to give me a boost...but it's not enjoyable...but I don't want to put heavy cream or MCT into it because I want a clean fast. My bridge has become flavored seltzer water (no sugar or artificial sweeteners)...it really helps not think of food when you need that mind cleansing moment.
Excellent
I love this message. I’ve been following Dr. B’s “Diabetes Solution” for 4 years & eventually found myself more and more carnivore. I tried OMAD for a year, but finally went to 2 meals a day. I start my day with 3 pasture raised eggs & end the day with some kind of protein (grass fed beef, chicken, beef liver, seafood, etc). Since I’m a T1LADA this has leveled out my BG and made everything better.
I had a gastric by-pass in 2000. I still have a small stomach. If I eat OMAD, I stall my weight loss, (cause I gained in COVID,) and I refuse to stretch it out again. 3 meals, on a protein shake, and 2 carnivore, mostly, meals. Snacking is always an issue for me, but not as much anymore. After 7 at night, I should lock the fridge. Its a lifetime journey.
Set up a visit w sheryl if u get stranded
@Dr Cywes. You say that once you are insulin sensitive, then it is time to switch back to 2-3 meals feeding your body what you need.
Well, how do we know when we’ve arrived at being insulin sensitive again? How will we know when it’s ok to start incorporating other foods? I’ve been carnivore for 2 months and am healthy. Mostly just love carnivore food!
I wake up and have heavy cream in my coffee. Never thought it was a meal . Interesting idea
I eat two solid food meals a day about 20 grams carb. I had to edit this because I forgot to say I eat solid food between 11 and 7 Coffee with cream at 5 AM . Just started this .
I usually eat lunch and dinner. But, some days I just want breakfast, so I have some scrambled eggs.
Fall 2017 i was mainly keto, blood work turned BAD by fall 2021. Now fall 2022, ive lost 10 lbs and blood sugar snd fats sre much better.
Great info, does intermittent fasting still apply insulin sensitive?
Yes..called not eating
Dr.Cywes I drink tea with heavy cream and a couple equal ( I know aspartame is bad but...) does that end the fast. It has been very confusing and people on the internet have differing opinion.
I some days have a meal, and other days I have three meals. It depends. Most often in the evening it is a 1cm cube of butter or two or some other small thing. I am not always hungry enough anymore for three standard meals. I often wake up super early and so hungry I just naturally get up and cook. I used to find having breakfast meant I was hungry very often, but that was when I was having mostly plant. No one told me that was unhealthy, but I found out with help after being severely ill with metabolic problems and after a hospital visit. I said no to an operation and want to heal my organs, not have them cut up or out. Only a month or two ago. This makes more sense I never heard of this before, just eating meat or mostly meat. I have not added in veg yet, trying to get up courage. As a young lass I had to convince my self that I loved veg because that was what I was given growing up. I was starved and fat, and I did not grow into my proper height, though I am within average acceptable height. I found I eat a lot less if I eat the fatty meat, eggs, etc. Maybe I will get to one meal a day a bit more soon. I had a stage where I was eating a lot because I was so sick that I was digesting my own body fat! I do not recommend having 7000 lipase in order to chew up 20kg! Not fun at all. I am still wondering if I should at or not. Sometimes I feel a bit sick from food, so I have a way to go. I find the new way is sort of slower but more sustained and reliable in some way (?) I'd love a video about that.
thank you doc i have learned so much. 🇹🇹from the Caribbean Trinidad and Tobago.
BTW, I’m 3.5 mmol/l ketones
I believe Dr. Satchin Panda would disagree on feeding time! His team discovered that insulin receptor are more active during morning and not in the evening...
❤😊😊 funny and valuable
I absolutely was constantly grabbing something handful hear and there. I don’t know dropped all processed an ultra process foods. And working towards a healthier life. I was at 405. Now 377
But I’m still learning and making changes.

Having restless leg syndrome throws off my sleep and tends to cause an emotional and traumatic event every night. RLS can go for hours and by then I am getting a piece of cheese or meat. Anyway I’m wondering what I can do? Otherwise I’m content with 2 meals later in day. My sleep disturbances are ruining everything for most of my life. I’m thinking of just bringing my main nighttime meal to bed and eating it when I’m frustratedly dealing with RLS. 😢
By the way I’m 4 months carnivore allowing heavy cream hard cheeses and RLS has been non existent a couple nights a week, but after years of having it-it’s still a nightly trauma of not knowing if I’ll ever sleep. Can anyone relate?
How do you know that you are in insulin sensitive stage?
i think im 2 or 3 on carnivore or keto. some days i fast 20 hours and only do 1 meal.
Do I need a MOJO monitor to start keto lifestyle?
I am 57 kg and 35
What about artificial zero-calorie sweeteners with coffee? Thanks!
