You are a hero Gary. I quote you many times but my friends do not want to hear. I despair and pray that you will be quoted in the "class actions" taken in the future.
Great Talk. Dr Fettke you are a champion. Changing your lifestyle to HFLC and IM has been truly transformational in regards to health and biological age for me, my sister..and some of my friends who dared first then committed to this change. I have tried to help others but they rather lice in a world of denial and follow conversational ways down the road to disease and complications. Now i still try and help people who ask how to do it. However, they have to convince themselves. Its so tedious sending people so much compelling information only either to see that its too much a change or that they cant be bothered going throughit..even if its truly for their own benefit.
Thank you, Dr Fettke, for taking this stand for the health of the population: it has cost you greatly but you do not back down and give in. A succinct, calm and understated critique of the problem and solution. I am one of many who have woken up to the insanity of current dietary guidelines and the horrific history of their inception. As a victim of 4 decades of low fat high carb dieting (my entire teen and adult life) I ended up seriously depressed, obese and physically/mentally/emotionally devastated by my failing health as I approached retirement years. It was at this point I was prepared to try cutting out carbs, but only for a month, because I didn't think I could cope without them (addiction, of course). Well, that was two and a half years ago and OMG the difference to my life and mental/physical/emotional health is spectacular. I eat very low carb and keep away from all the sweet tastes in particular. I prefer ketosis because I am still reducing my own fat stores to a healthier level (down from 60% to 27%). I do Intermittant Fasting too, eating lunch and dinner (16/8 or 18/6). Because of good protein and fat intake (animal based mostly) I do not need to snack in between and NEVER feel hunger, not ever. When I started this lifestyle the NO HUNGER side effect was a revelation and awesome. Low fat high carb diets always left me hungry and needing to snack in between meals so I ended up eating six times a day (or more) and going on binges when it finally got too much. What a miserable existence for my entire adult life! I would love everyone like me to understand that there is an answer. It is people like Gary, who but their reputation on the line (TIm Noakes is another one) that are the real heroes.
@@maricamaas5555 That kill people in the hospital? Because nosenabookUSA was talking about patients who are tired of getting no help from the the current sad-ass status quo hospital doctors.
Fabulous talk that I will share far and wide. The basic science will be easy for people to understand - great analogies. We need to spread this message. I was talking to a Nurse Practitioner who was questioning my success. She said "oh, I don't have a problem with sugar (meaning white, refined). My problem is with potatoes and bread." FACE PALM. She didn't know that potatoes and bread are sugar. I had to explain to her - and the look on her face. Priceless. So anyhow, we have a lot of work to do - share this!
Thank you Dr Gary and your wife assistance: I listened to you some three months ago.You made so much sense. I followed your recommendations for just 90 days. I am now free of diabetes for the first time since 2015. No Carbs no drugs no B.S. I don’t know how to thank you.
I found this such a clear explanation that almost anyone could understand. Very helpful. Big thanks. Just the reminder & inspiration I needed at the moment!
Absolutely fabulous and wonderfully understandable talk by Gary! Thank you, thank you, for all the courage you and Belinda have had to practice in the past few years. I know you are now exonerated, yippee!! I love the "no carbs, I"m allergic" sign! ... Yes! Good Health to us all in our pursuit of carb free lifestyles. :)
Thank you so much for this video. My dad has recently been diagnosed with diabetes type 2. The diagnosis comes a year after I discovered he most likely had diabetes after astronomically high readings on a urine strips test (I was using acetoacetate/glucose strips for my own keto diet ventures). The doctors are insistent on putting him on Metformin and preach a LFHC diet. Of course I'm highly disagreeable about this and every day I show my dad the studies and talks like these online, but the confusion and distrust is obvious. When I read the nutritional advice outlined on the Australian Heart Foundation website it scares me. Diabetes Victoria have a factsheet dispelling diabetes myths, the first one infers that sugar does not cause diabetes. Why would my dad listen to me telling him to eat fatty animal products instead of following the dietary guidelines and doctor's advice? Not to mention going against the engrained fear of cholesterol and saturated fat. Dr. Fettke is doing a wonderful thing and I hope very soon advising diabetes patients to follow a LCHF diet will be common practice.
Jessica Rose Burrowes , having your dad read the book "The Big Fat Surprise" by investigative journalist Nina Teicholz might help. She does an excellent job explaining all the corrupt "science" and political mischief that gave the USA the food pyramid and HCLF diet and convinced the rest of the world to do likewise. For something easier, have your dad watch this video of Dr. Tim Noakes (video time 16 minutes 6 minutes): th-cam.com/video/RLgctEe5ANM/w-d-xo.html That video explains how the publicly-traded corporation food industry donates money to non-profit "health" organizations and uses those those non-profits to keep us eating unhealthy food.
Tell him that UK General Practitioners are now being trained in low-carb diets to treat diabetics. Australia is way behind now...www.pulsetoday.co.uk/clinical/clinical-specialties/diabetes/rcgp-launches-gp-training-on-low-carb-diet-for-diabetes-patients/20037092.article
HOW DANGEROUS .. I've done this on my own ... UNSUPERVISED ... soooooo dangerous to have taken your & like minders speakers .. Down from 118kg to 68kg.
50 years old, pre D last christmas time and saw some videos...went 0 carb feb 1st.... and have stabilized my health..no desire to go back to poison or to be a guinee pig for food and pharma companies..you can do it!
Governments do not support cures for diabetes without using drugs because of financial implications. Imagine that they will not make so much money from the health care industries if people are cured of diabetes, and the food industries (especially those manufacturing carbohydrate food) will lose a lot of business.
Excellent video Dr Fettke..put very simply..have been doing keto now for 3mths and awaiting my HbA1c results taken today...I agree that I am definitely carbohydrate intolerant..I am now treating carbs like having an addiction or allergy...staying away from it altogether..less than 20gms/day...moderate protein according to Height and IBW..and double that in good fats for satiety..and finding I am eating far less and cheaper than on medication. I myself (retired RN) am off all medication except Metformin as it has many other benefits for people with diabetes..it does not work on lowering glucose or producing more insulin. I think you need to reassess that statement..otherwise I just wish that more doctors and dieticians, in public and private sectors would get onboard with this Way Of Eating..we can turn this epidemic around so easily..many thanks
Thanks Dr.Fettke. Watching from Mumbai, India. I hope i have watched this video and others like Dr.Jason Fung, Dr.KEN BERRY , Dennis Pollock, DR. Berg , 6-7 Years ago. I would have reversed my diabetes long back. From, Mumbai.INDIA
Every time I go off my lower carb diet, such as consistently eating more than 25% carbs: grains/starch/sugar; my diabetic markers go up and so does my weight. When I do it long enough, my triglycerides climb through the roof and HDL go way down. With weight gain, every time I go above 190 lbs., my blood pressure also increases. When I go back to grain-free, sugar-free, and starch-free everything reverses.
One day in the distant future, if we survive, historians will talk about the systematic addicting of the population with cheap sugars/starches/seed oils, and decry the ignorance as we now do the testing of women for witches in medieval times.
Big food is in bed with big pharma they are in business to make us depended them on both some dr.s that get kick backs prescribed the insulin tv shows new drugs for diabetes meds, Im just sick of the whole show. Every yearly check up i saw my blood sugar rise from 97, then 100, 106,126 given my family history because this doc. Knew my mother had it and didn't bother to tell me to watch what i ate that it can happen to me also.... I stopped going to her and delt with it myself i did my own research got off the junkie foods, carbs, sugar and never looked back. Its hard to finds doctors that are up to date and care about preventing diabetes.
3:38 That's put a little strange : just because a disease is chronic doesn't mean it's not preventable. Chronic just means that once you have it, you can't get rid of it. That makes it even more important to try to prevent it. Ofcourse, it is possible that diabetes is both preventable and not a chronic disease. But the terms don"t exclude each other, which seems to be implied here.
You'd almost think he's depressed because of what people are doing to themselves. But luckily, the small dry jokes in between compensate for that. But I get it. It is sort of frustrating when you see obese people, frustrated because they can't keep their blood sugar levels under controll, while eating small pieces of chocolate every one or two hours...... It's kind of hidden, but if you pay attention, you realize how many people are taking medication every day; diabetes medications are rarely taken by them selves, they are often taken together with blood pressure medication and cholesterol medication. You go low carb and often within months you don't need any medication anymore. It makes you wonder why medications are preferred over cutting carbs.... I can think of only one reason,... It's an addiction,... as strong as addictions to alcohol and nicotine. But you can't say that. People get upset with you if you insist. Like an alcoholic getting upset when you take away his booze. I guess it can be depressing when you care. Only ignorance can prevent that type of depression,...... And it amazes me how many people are willfully ignorant. And they are,... ignorant on purpose. You know this is true when people actively try to cut you off by changing the subject or simply start talking about other things with other people, straight in your face..... which makes it very easy to apply the other strategy to prevent getting depressed: you just,... don't,... care.
Peter Faber You can’t always blame the individual. What about the hidden agenda of the pharmaceutical companies and doctors and dietitians? When I was diagnosed, I did my research and decided no medication and a ketogenic diet was the way to go much to the dismay of my doctor and the dietitian who shaking her head said, take the medication and you will need to eat 30 grams of carbs per meal! ??? Thankfully, I did not listen to either of them and went with current research. 4 years later and my diabetes is reversed with a normal A1C. Education and updated research needs to come from the so-called professionals! They are the ones who should be educating people on how to be healthy not keeping them sick and medication dependent.
Oh you're not kidding. It's really hard to keep quiet and not go crazy when a person who is visibly suffering stands there and essentially says "I refuse to make myself better". Especially if it's someone you care about.
Thomas Keets Yes, but in my opinion that only applies to people with below average IQ and/or uneducated people who simply never learned to think for themselves. I'm not disrespecting these people. They should get better help. But the doctors and dieticians aren't trying to hurt people. They really believe they are giving the right advice. But I'm not talking about these kinds of people. I"m talking about educated people with above average IQ, one is a doctor for crying out loud. And still... diabetics, high carb diets, some obese, some not,...... And when you suggest that perhaps lowering glucose intake to lower glucose levels might be an idea,.... It's like poking a corpse expecting it to say "ouch".... Why should I care?
Diana , taking a college human anatomy and physiology is very useful in helping people understand how the body works. There are 3 macronutrients: fat, protein, and carbohydrate. The body metabolizes them differently. The body does not turn fat into blood sugar. The body turns excess protein into blood glucose. The body turns all carbohydrates into blood glucose. When blood glucose increases in the blood vessels, the body's sensors sense the increase and tell the pancreas to increase insulin production. Insulin has two jobs: (1) Put the blood glucose into the body's cells so that they can use it for fuel to do their jobs. (2) Store excess blood glucose (excess fuel) in the fat cells and the liver. That is how people get fat and get a fatty liver. It's from carbohydrates, not fats. When we stop eating, our digestive system empties of food and, thus, discontinues sending blood glucose to the blood vessels. When the body's sensors sense the decrease in blood glucose, the body's sensors tell the pancreas to decrease insulin production and increase glucagon production. Glucagon's job is to take the stored excess fuel out if the fat cells and liver and put that excess fuel back in the blood vessels so that the body's cells can use that stored fuel to do their jobs. That is how we lose weight and stop being fat. Insulin and glucagon are hormones. The book "The Obesity Code" by Dr Jason Fung MD explains how the hormones leptin ghrelin and cortisol cause a person to gain or lose weight, too. Things that contain a high percentage of carbohydrates are sugar, grains, dried beans, and potatoes. Fruits have a high percentage of carbohydrates, but not as high as sugar, grains, dried beans, and potatoes.
Peter Faber , carbohydrates can set up a horrid craving for high-carbohydrate foods. I found that the only way to stop the craving is to go on a water fast for at least 2 1/2 days. We need hospitals and clinics to set up "therapeutic fasting wards" so that people can go to be assisted with clearing the carbohydrates from their bodies. According to the documentary "Science of Fasting", Germany has such fasting clinics.
Nice video, I love my Libre 14days and Blucon cgm together, both helps me to manage the blood glucose. My Blucon gives me alarms on my and my partner’s phone when I’m high or low so that’s nice.
Medical fraternity is in the pocket of the drug companies ,humanity will have to give a big fight to rescue themselves from these crime syndicates. In the year 1994, in one of Sydney hospital's public ward , one patient's leg must have been amputated over the knee, just a few days ago. I was a new patient in the ward just a few beds away from the leg- amputated man. 2doctors arrived at his bed , one of the doctor asks ," how is your stump ,no pain ?" .Patient answers" not much" The second doctor looks at what the patient eats as a snack, Mars bars ,some other candies, cake etc., etc. .With contempt in his voice," do you eat all of those sweets?" The leg amputated man says ,"yes" ,visitors brought them. the doctor doesn't make any comment .
Another doctor spreading the real truth of our food intake!! Wish many more would jump on this bandwagon and forgo pharmaceutical 'under the table' monies. But this speech, along with a few other doctors spouting truth, leads me to a question... all of these carbs, we know how America got sick eating them, but how did the countries they originated from have them as their main staple?? For instance... southeast Asian countries with Rice? Italy and Greece with Pasta? Ireland with Potatoes? Mexico and South America with Breads? Has anyone or group looked into this starting history??
Interesting to add to list of ailments: Bread disease / Wheat schitzophrenia is noted as an unfortunate disease of the brain. Burning too much animal protien can also cause insulin resistance and lactic acidosis - as described by Darren Schmidt D.C. ? Obesity is not healthy, yet being overweight is not necessarily an indicator of being unhealthy; especially since the BMI is changed at a whim. There are more with 'normal' weight who are metabolically ill. It is increasingly troublesome how being super-thin is seen as desirable; leading to mental distress, eating disorders, infertility and justification for pushing the vegan cult's agenda.
I don't understand Dr. Fettke why you can't recommend a low carb diet when any neurologist can recommend a ketogenic diet to their patients. What is the difference?
You need to find for yourself what greens and how much works for you. Some cannot tolerate plant matter at all: Watch "CarnivoryCon 2019: George M. Diggs, PhD - “Plant Defense Chemicals: The Dark Side of Food Plants“" on TH-cam th-cam.com/video/6M6nnKZ1vv0/w-d-xo.html
I first learned of the nutritional nonsense called, “My Plate” after being diagnosed with diabetes. Having been raised overseas as an Air Force brat I was exposed to government propaganda day in and day out, the result of which was I learned to recognize propaganda when I heard it. “My Plate” is pure propaganda. Even way back then I realized the inconsistency of prescribing glucose (carbs) to someone who’s body was failing at processing glucose. Unfortunately, I merely recognized it. I didn’t know if it was safe to take the next logical step, which would be to totally cut out all carbs from my diet. Everyone told me that was too “extreme”. How much science can learn in 14 years! As long as you keep the gestapo away from the researchers.
Gary, this video is unwatchable due to the habitual mouth noises you make. Part of it is that the mic is set up incorrectly, so that it captures those noises, but it's also your unconscious sucking and clicking noises.
I believe keto is good for the majority of diabetics and pre diabetics, but there is a minority of them that do worse than low fat high carbs. Some type 1 diabetics get glucagon too high and does better with fibrous carbs. For some people protein and fat causes more insulin resistance than carbs. So I disagree with one size fits all. I believe that low carb will become more popular in the next few years and will help to reverse alot of diseases and there will be alot of low carb practitioners but it will never be universal diet for insulin resistance.
my dear man we love you and you and your ilk will eventually save the lives of milliona BUT the past tense of get is got not gotten unless you have suddenly become american and you may be interested to know that the queen is pre diabetic
I was a type 2 diabetic. My A1C was tested 5 months into keto and I was no longer even pre-diabetic.
You are a hero Gary. I quote you many times but my friends do not want to hear. I despair and pray that you will be quoted in the "class actions" taken in the future.
Great Talk. Dr Fettke you are a champion.
Changing your lifestyle to HFLC and IM has been truly transformational in regards to health and biological age for me, my sister..and some of my friends who dared first then committed to this change. I have tried to help others but they rather lice in a world of denial and follow conversational ways down the road to disease and complications.
Now i still try and help people who ask how to do it. However, they have to convince themselves. Its so tedious sending people so much compelling information only either to see that its too much a change or that they cant be bothered going throughit..even if its truly for their own benefit.
Thank you, Dr Fettke, for taking this stand for the health of the population: it has cost you greatly but you do not back down and give in.
A succinct, calm and understated critique of the problem and solution. I am one of many who have woken up to the insanity of current dietary guidelines and the horrific history of their inception.
As a victim of 4 decades of low fat high carb dieting (my entire teen and adult life) I ended up seriously depressed, obese and physically/mentally/emotionally devastated by my failing health as I approached retirement years.
It was at this point I was prepared to try cutting out carbs, but only for a month, because I didn't think I could cope without them (addiction, of course). Well, that was two and a half years ago and OMG the difference to my life and mental/physical/emotional health is spectacular. I eat very low carb and keep away from all the sweet tastes in particular. I prefer ketosis because I am still reducing my own fat stores to a healthier level (down from 60% to 27%). I do Intermittant Fasting too, eating lunch and dinner (16/8 or 18/6). Because of good protein and fat intake (animal based mostly) I do not need to snack in between and NEVER feel hunger, not ever.
When I started this lifestyle the NO HUNGER side effect was a revelation and awesome. Low fat high carb diets always left me hungry and needing to snack in between meals so I ended up eating six times a day (or more) and going on binges when it finally got too much. What a miserable existence for my entire adult life!
I would love everyone like me to understand that there is an answer. It is people like Gary, who but their reputation on the line (TIm Noakes is another one) that are the real heroes.
all doctors need to be made to watch this along with their diabetic patients. I wish I knew all this 20 years ago.
Totally agree!
We all do. Sigh!
Go, go, Gary! My favorite part was the "class action that's coming." I've thought of it myself and wondered how to make it happen.
Celebrity animal activist vegan physicians - luring youngsters in to join their cult - is a real problem; it should not be legal.

That is how we lose weight and stop being fat.
Insulin and glucagon are hormones. The book "The Obesity Code" by Dr Jason Fung MD explains how the hormones leptin ghrelin and cortisol cause a person to gain or lose weight, too.
Things that contain a high percentage of carbohydrates are sugar, grains, dried beans, and potatoes. Fruits have a high percentage of carbohydrates, but not as high as sugar, grains, dried beans, and potatoes.
Peter Faber , carbohydrates can set up a horrid craving for high-carbohydrate foods. I found that the only way to stop the craving is to go on a water fast for at least 2 1/2 days. We need hospitals and clinics to set up "therapeutic fasting wards" so that people can go to be assisted with clearing the carbohydrates from their bodies.
According to the documentary "Science of Fasting", Germany has such fasting clinics.
Nice video, I love my Libre 14days and Blucon cgm together, both helps me to manage the blood glucose. My Blucon gives me alarms on my and my partner’s phone when I’m high or low so that’s nice.
There should be thousands of listeners on here; where are you?
Awesome info. Thank you!
I consume no carbs and never will again. It's a genuine lifestyle.
Thank you 😊
Spot on
6:00 Beautiful analogy
Medical fraternity is in the pocket of the drug companies ,humanity will have to give a big fight to rescue themselves from these
crime syndicates. In the year 1994, in one of Sydney hospital's public ward , one patient's leg must have been amputated over the knee, just a few days ago. I was a new patient in the ward just a few beds away from the leg- amputated man. 2doctors arrived at his bed , one of the doctor asks ," how is your stump ,no pain ?" .Patient answers" not much" The second doctor looks at what the patient eats as a snack, Mars bars ,some other candies, cake etc., etc. .With contempt in his voice," do you eat all of those sweets?" The leg amputated man says ,"yes" ,visitors brought them. the doctor doesn't make any comment .
Great talk, but the mouth noises make it unwatchable for misophonia sufferers.
HDL up?
Thanks Gary, big fan of the evidence based practicioners.
Yes, fruit is unhealthy and carbs make you fat.
Fruit - in its whole form - being unhealthy - to all - is not clear:
Animal fat is to animal protien what fiber is to fruit?
Quantity makes the poison
Another doctor spreading the real truth of our food intake!!
Wish many more would jump on this bandwagon and forgo pharmaceutical 'under the table' monies.
But this speech, along with a few other doctors spouting truth, leads me to a question... all of these carbs, we know how America got sick eating them, but how did the countries they originated from have them as their main staple??
For instance... southeast Asian countries with Rice?
Italy and Greece with Pasta?
Ireland with Potatoes?
Mexico and South America with Breads?
Has anyone or group looked into this starting history??
Interesting to add to list of ailments: Bread disease / Wheat schitzophrenia is noted as an unfortunate disease of the brain.
Burning too much animal protien can also cause insulin resistance and lactic acidosis - as described by Darren Schmidt D.C. ?
Obesity is not healthy, yet being overweight is not necessarily an indicator of being unhealthy; especially since the BMI is changed at a whim. There are more with 'normal' weight who are metabolically ill.
It is increasingly troublesome how being super-thin is seen as desirable; leading to mental distress, eating disorders, infertility and justification for pushing the vegan cult's agenda.
I don't understand Dr. Fettke why you can't recommend a low carb diet when any neurologist can recommend a ketogenic diet to their patients. What is the difference?
If i ate all those greens I would get so sick. You need to re evaluate all the greens in the diet.
Jose Bonilla are you allergic to some greens?
why?
You need to find for yourself what greens and how much works for you. Some cannot tolerate plant matter at all:

I first learned of the nutritional nonsense called, “My Plate” after being diagnosed with diabetes. Having been raised overseas as an Air Force brat I was exposed to government propaganda day in and day out, the result of which was I learned to recognize propaganda when I heard it.
“My Plate” is pure propaganda.
Even way back then I realized the inconsistency of prescribing glucose (carbs) to someone who’s body was failing at processing glucose. Unfortunately, I merely recognized it. I didn’t know if it was safe to take the next logical step, which would be to totally cut out all carbs from my diet. Everyone told me that was too “extreme”.
How much science can learn in 14 years! As long as you keep the gestapo away from the researchers.
Coughers should stay home...
Gary, this video is unwatchable due to the habitual mouth noises you make. Part of it is that the mic is set up incorrectly, so that it captures those noises, but it's also your unconscious sucking and clicking noises.
love his information but the mouth sucking as got to stop! I can't listen to it, it's nauseating!
I believe keto is good for the majority of diabetics and pre diabetics, but there is a minority of them that do worse than low fat high carbs. Some type 1 diabetics get glucagon too high and does better with fibrous carbs. For some people protein and fat causes more insulin resistance than carbs. So I disagree with one size fits all.
I believe that low carb will become more popular in the next few years and will help to reverse alot of diseases and there will be alot of low carb practitioners but it will never be universal diet for insulin resistance.
my dear man we love you and you and your ilk will eventually save the lives of milliona BUT the past tense of get is got not gotten unless you have suddenly become american and you may be interested to know that the queen is pre diabetic
