Dr. Boz, The supreme value of these consults are golden. Jennifer and John are my heroes for their agreeing to be so vulnerable to us all. Bless you, all. To actually see a working dynamic in a patient/doctor consult goes beyond words in it's value to SO many.
Thanks Dr. Boz and Jennifer, this is very informative. I started the Keto diet this past Sunday and I am feeling the deference. I am now eating once a day averaging 18 to 22 hours between my meals. No hunger yet lol. I do appreciate your time you are putting into getting the info out to the world.
When I’m highly stressed I get kicked out of Ketosis, but I (rightly or wrongly??) try to counteract the effects by lowering < fats (a little) & increasing > protein, so as to try & preserve muscle mass from being catabolised into sugar. Kinda of a more Atkins style of eating (considering it’s said that Atkins is higher protein than Keto). So if I’m eating 80g of protein & 160g of fat on Keto, I’ll up it to 140g of protein & lower fats to 140g when highly stressed out. Equal levels of fat to protein being most optional for me during this time & it also kills hunger dead during “time of the month” or when ever cravings tries to raise it’s head. I think anyone experiencing cravings should actually, probably up their protein to match their fats!
Jennifer, try none scale victories like how well you clothes fit, measurements, and look in the mirror because I can tell that your face has gotten thinner and your skin looks great. Glowing! You are doing fantastic! Thanks for putting it all out here for us to learn better and to not feel alone.
Dr. Boz, not sure if you have done a video on shift workers but I work a rotating shift. I work days (5am-5pm) a day off then work nights (5pm-5am). Been on the Keto diet (after being diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes) for about 3 months. I took metaformin for a month and decided to get serious and quite taking it. I watch my blood glucose religiously everyday and continously through out the day. Since then I have not had a glucose reading above 140. This is only after eating. Mainly it stays between 90 - 110. Sorry I don't know about my ketones. Going to order the combo keto-glucose meter very soon. I have noticed when I start working nights that I plateaued and I have not gained weight or lost weight. Glucose stays a little higher and I assume it is due to my sleep pattern. I will be off for the next few weeks so this plateau should subside. Also, I do bullet proof coffee every morning (or when I get up) and I try to 24 hr fast most days then go to a 16hr a few days a week. I would like for you to pass this on to your other viewers that work shift work that you can do the Keto diet. Just make sure you get enough sleep and monitor your glucose regularly. Fasting is a must. Thanks for all your videos and guidance. It has made a difference in my life. I am age 50 and fell like 30 again.
34:45 Why pure black coffe is bad in this context? Does it stimulate any insulin? A cup of coffee helps a lot and I wouldn't like to lose it without appropriate evidence or at least any explanation what's wrong with it...
I have to say that I had the same problem with the sinuses for 6 months. I did not know where was coming from I went to the dentist for a regular checkup and I had an infected root canal and god-knows-how-long. I also was having the sweats at night and waking up over and over. I fix the problem pulling the tooth out and had to take antibiotics. So far so good. Great video thank you so much.
I have extended my fasting time 6:00 pm - 12::00 noon or later. I think I am very insulin resistant. I am cutting out sweeteners in case I was getting an insulin response from those. I was using Splenda in tea and coffee and I have stopped that so I hope to see some better blood sugars.
People underestimate the power of stress and sleeplessness. Our bodies can cope with it for awhile but eventually it will show up in physical signs. I always told this to my mother in law because she went to bed 5 am and slept until noon or 1pm. She did this for a long time. With other stress she ended up with a heart attack and after a 14 years medical problem she died last November. I also noticed that when I'm under more stress than usual I gain weight. No matter how good I keep my keto diet. The cortisol takes over and it's so hard to bring it down.
New challenge. I started March 15,2019, today is March 23. I’m feeling weak a new type of weak for me to the point of impairment, advise pkease. Glucose 106 ketones .9 and blood pressure 142/85/79 BTW my pre Dr. Boz glucose was often in the 150s
Are you overweight and if so, how much? Since you just started only about 6 days ago, it is even likely that you are just starting to shift into being keto-adapted. As Dr. Boz has explained, it takes time for your liver to begin producing ketones and for the mitochondria in your various types of cells to actually start using ketones. I strongly suggest that you go to: th-cam.com/video/dVPcfJlM7Ao/w-d-xo.html This is a large set of videos but this link takes you to the first of 3 important videos explaining the process involved in becoming keto adapted. I don't think that anyone in the world has done as good a job of explaining this process as did Dr. Bozworth. Also, since you are new to this, you might want to consider exogenous ketones (her own brand is probably the best and can be purchased on Amazon). Exogenous ketones are good to keep around. They can be a great help when first starting out. They are also very helpful for those times where you really 'go off the wagon' like after a family meal type celebration to get back into nutritional ketosis quickly.
Hi. Is there a way to use the glucose/ ketone autophagy ratio using a breath ketone reading in parts per million? Thanks. Your channel is very helpful.
Dr Boz, my husband and I are interested in your thoughts and research on intermittent carnivore diet similar to the beef and butter fast. We have both been on it this week and it’s helping me immensely and my husbands gut health is improving. How long can we do this, how regularly and what are the issues we need to consider?
You mentioned concept of Intermittent Fasting that I had not heard before regarding the "morning reset". I have intermittently fasted by dropping breakfast. I was fasting from about 6 PM until noon. My understanding is that I should change that to eating when I get up around 6:30 AM until 1 PM. Is that as important as you made it sound, or does the time of the 6 hour fast that crucial? Thanks.
If I read what you wrote correctly, you are not eating after 6pm, right? Your first meal is at noon? If so, then you are fasting for 18 hrs every day. I suggest that what you doing is not only good, but outstanding for a daily routine (presuming that you don't go to bed before 9pm. You last sentence however, confuses me because you said "...time of the 6 hour fast..." Essentially, a 6 hour fast is not a fast at all. Even fasting for 12 hrs is rather skimpy. If you don't eat for 14 continuous hours every day then your fast is OK. The only other factor that is important is that you start your fast early enough before going to bed that you will have processed the food from the last meal before going to sleep. If you eat just before retiring for the night, then your body spends hours using your metabolic energy processing food instead of working on repair. Many people end up doing OMD (One Meal a Day) when keto adapted. It is typical that this will happen for people without even planning for it. I know that the first time I "went Keto" within about a month I realized that I was only eating OMD. I just was not hungry enough to eat more often.
My bad. I mistyped... not 6 hour fast, but 6 hour feed with 18 hour fast.. Yes, eat around 6 PM, bed 10-11 PM, then up at 6:30 AM. I do not eat before bedtime. My question I was asking is, do I need to break fast immediately after I get up, or is it OK to break the fast around noon. Dr. Boz seemed to indicate in this video that it was important to break the fast upon rising. I do occasionally have OMAD, but not on a regular or scheduled basis. @@billleach3396
@@stevetempleton9092 I've watched a lot of people talking about this, but I think it's still individual. Some lean to eating in am, less eating at night, and encourage at least four hrs after eating til bedtime. others say the science on meal times doesn't exist and do what's natural for you. Blood sugar naturally rises to wake you up in the AM so may be part of it. For me, I do omad, a chewing meal, but usually eat it over an hour, around 9pm, but have a keto coffee which does break my fast but that's all I have til 9pm. Some days I skip it.

Dr. Bo I’m new subscriber to you, and I have a ? For you I have autoimmune disease, and I’m so inspired by you and I started yesterday the Keto. I’m taking biological medications. Do I continue the Keto? Thank you !
I am also a patient rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease). I am on ketosis, ketogenic diet, intermittent fasting & absolute fast occasionally for >60 hours. I am now off the drugs now .I highly appreciate its anti inflammatory effect.
Vodka + mineral water or gin and tonic will only pause the keto production temporarily, it will not necessarily take you out of keto, alcohol is a strange macro nutrient. Drinking beer however is more or less the same as eating bread or candy.
Boy, I wish you were my doctor when they put me on sleep medicine I had cancer my second cancer and I was kind of allergic to the chemo the first seven seconds and stopped breathing so he said I would get used to it but they gave me medicine steroids to take it home before I came on the day of chemo then I would have an hour of having more steroids through my IV and then I would have three more days of chemo pills at home and it really messed with my sleep so when I was done with chemo, I still wasn’t sleeping and I had a doctor give me some trazodone and I worked up to having 220 mg and now if I miss a dose by accident I will wake up and wake up and wake up and wake up and have a really bad night and it doesn’t Donna me to wake up for sure in the morning and realize that I didn’t sleep well because I didn’t have my trazodone and yet here you are putting him on for a very limited time to just kind of retrain the brain that sounds so awesome

Hi

Not diabetic but has Severe insulin e resistance....interesting semantics.
Not really semantics, it's word definition. Insulin resistance varies from slightly to severe. Progressively worsening Insulin Resistance leads to Type 2 Diabetes. Most doctors just watch until you become a Type 2 diabetic and then attempt to control blood sugars (the symptom) instead of getting to the ROOT CAUSE which is too much (CARBS=sugars) in the diet. A fasting Blood Insulin test will tell you where you are but most doctors don't test for it because they don't have a Rx to recommend.
