Same with me, used to be mostly vegetarian but that made me sick as I got older, went low carb animal based foods diet at age 56 now at 60 I'm healthier and more athletic that ever !
After almost a year on keto I had to quit. No matter how much salt, Electrolytes or vitamins I took, my muscles always felt weak, especially during exercise. Don't get me wrong. It was great losing weight and I'm sure some people thrive with it. But my body simply can't adapt to it. So I switched to Paleo and started adding fruit and Immediately my muscles felt great. And I'm not even heavy on carbs, just added 50-100g of carbs daily and my body is thanking me for that. No need to eat rice or pasta, just 2-3 fruits and it's a game changer. Fruit is good.
That's correct. Fruit is amazing and so many other carbohydrates given to us by nature are too. Its ridiculous when people say that the human body wasn't made to handle carbs when it's the bodies main fuel source by converting these into glucose.
@@swanseaboy76 i disagree that it is the bodies main fuel source. Remember our bodies can produce glucose. This implies carbohydrate as a "fuel" is a 'as needed', not a primary. Personally, given prehistoric diets of pre-historic man, makes sense we are adapted for fat storage, and fat burning. Carbs is more of a stimulant, because naturally our bodies don't have it, and just creates what it needs, a kind of catalyst for certain metabolic needs. So, my opinion, modern society has been snorting the equivalent of crack for the last 70 years and all the metabolic health issues that have arisen is the result. i'm not advocating no carbs, but keep them low. no more than 100g a day. depends on your activities and personal metabolism ofcourse, but typical sedentary office work/management level person should not exceed that.
@@ericaugust1501 yes I agree that it's best to keep carbs low, otherwise it's like priming a lawn mower with too much fuel. I don't think it's a good idea to completely remove carbs though, especially if you regularly participate in high intensity exercise.
Here is a ChatGPT summary: - Fat adaptation is the natural state of humans, evolved to burn fat instead of carbohydrates - Fat adaptation can occur within 5 days of switching to a high fat diet - Low carb athletes can switch back and forth faster due to gluconeogenesis - Elite athletes can burn up to 2 grams of fat per minute during high intensity exercise - Elite marathoners may be able to run a 2 hour marathon on fat alone - Low carb athletes can transition better from aerobic to anaerobic states - Muscles can burn fat up to 100% of VO2 max and supplement with phosphocreatin and ATP breakdown - Nutrition has little to do with exercise performance - Exercise physiologist have misled the public by saying that performance is all about nutrition. - Patrick Sang's book explains that performance is about the total being, not just nutrition. - Carbohydrates can act as a stimulant, but the placebo effect can be difficult to measure in studies. - High carbohydrate diets can lead to insulin resistance and inflammation. - Exercise can reduce insulin levels and glucose levels quickly. - Glucose levels can increase during exercise, which is a marker of insulin resistance. - 80% hard run for two miles or 5K can cause aggressive drop in glucose levels - Monounsaturated fats and omega-7s may help with insulin sensitivity in metabolically unhealthy people - Polyunsaturated fats have increased in consumption over the last 60-80 years - Natural animal fats have decreased over the same time period - Low carb diet with high amounts of olive oil, macadamia nut oil, and monounsaturated fats can help with glucose control - Coconut oil can have a negative effect on glucose levels - C8 MCT oil can have a positive effect on energy and athletic performance - Reducing sugar and carb addiction is key to fat adaptation - Eating real foods is important for health and performance - Micronutrients may play a role in athletic performance and long-term health - This is a story about a man who taught the speaker their PhD and would not allow them to eat saturated fat. - He died a crumpled up old man with dementia due to not getting enough fat and fat-soluble vitamins. - The speaker believes that the more carbs you eat, the more likely you are to have an inflexible spine. - The scientists studying runners with shin splints say they are not getting enough calories, but the speaker believes they are not getting proper nutrition and the micronutrients they need. - The speaker believes the body is capable of using its own on-hand energy systems and that the world's greatest athletes in East Africa come from poor communities and have survived and been successful despite not having great nutrition. - The speaker has formed the Nokes Foundation to educate the public and physicians about the low carbohydrate diet and to do research on it. - The Nokes Foundation is also working on the Eat Better South Africa campaign to get good nutrition to the poorest people. - The speaker can be found on Twitter at Prof Tim Nokes and has written a piece on academic bullying.
This is the dumbest thing I've read yet: - Exercise physiologist have misled the public by saying that performance is all about nutrition. Are you kidding me?
Dr. Noakes is a legend in the world of LCHF/Keto and is featured in the movie Cereal Killers and the movie Fat Fiction which really both highlight his knowledge and the struggles he had promoting this lifestyle. I really admire him and love to hear him.
I’d it weren’t for me being able to get fat adapted I’d be diabetic and dying. Fat adaption prolongs life and limits health degeneration. Absolutely. Carbs have their place for specific things like famine or a special treat
I’m very carb sensitive too. People tell me as long as I’m within my daily calorie intake, I should be able to consume breads and pasta even twice a day or even once a day. If I do that, I tend to hang on to fat and even increase it on my body. If I eat low carbs, my body responds better.
o so you went and got the tests immediately after consuming cabs . My guess is you didnt go get your body fat accurately tested and are just making baseless guesses based on feelings and scale changes. Even though that weight gain could just be water weight
Dr Noaks changed South Africa a few years ago. People went crazy for "banting" 100s of people started banting and changed their lives. He made it simple and easy to understand. I myself am truly grateful to him for teaching me that eating doesn't have to consume your every thoughts all day. I moved away from keto and am now carnivore which does great for me. But it all started with this man being brave enough to go against everything everyone believed.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you go from keto to carnivore? I've looked at both and am considering keto. My uncle went carnivore and dropped 30 pounds in 3 months and is now within 5 pounds of his goal weight. That being said, carnivore doesn't have much flexibility while keto does allow more variety for eating.
@RickySpanish12344 I'm lazy. 🤦♀️ I work hospitality. Long hours and constant go. Butter coffee in the morning and a big fat steak somewhere in the day. Life sorted. Keto is good. But the cravings and wanting something yum never goes away. Carnivore makes you look at only meat as food after a while. Even veggies don't seem like food to me anymore. So the variety need just fades on its own. I tried it by default. And the weirdest things happened. I was always healthy and I love gym. So it's not a weight thing. But my energy, mood, sense of smell, dark circles, sleep, dry skin... without wanting it to... just improved. I'll tell you the negative though. If you go strict Carnivore... when you do introduce other things back in. Even spices... you body is NOT your friend. Hahahaha But try it for 7 days. Its pretty cool to see yourself at peak performance just because.
@@natashamcclintock1324 your body isn’t your friend when you introduce others foods because you are not used to it. Especially fibre. You lack the diversity of gut microbes to be able to break it down and it results in the most awful digestive discomfort. It doesn’t make sense to me to only eat meat. It does make sense that you feel better though but I don’t believe it is the result of omitting carbohydrates and other foods. More so that you are eating less, losing weight, stabilising blood sugar and insulin, exercising more, have less stress about food in general, get a lot of bioavailable nutrients from meat that you weren’t getting before. It’s not exclusively due to you cutting out carbs. You might have felt just as healthy on a clean Mediterranean diet for example.
@Caliban071 nothing you say is incorrect and I know all of this... you must understand though... I have always been healthy. Iv never been overweight and have been athletic all my life. I didn't go from sad to carnivore or banting. I went from green smoothie queen and brown rice, chicken breast and broccoli to banting. I can't stick to just meat anyway, it was a good test, i saw great results and most days i just eat a steak, not every day though. But I can tell you... if I was overweight or sickly... I would use carnivore for a year to reset my body.
@@natashamcclintock1324 I agree. It’s a good reset tool. I’m very lean and don’t have the fat to sustain my energy levels and can’t get enough fat in the day to mitigate this. I lose too much weight and look Ill.
I discovered my inflammation was caused by chemicals in food as well as gluten and sugar. The chemicals I identified and avoid include artificial sweeteners(diet soda gave me swollen joints)and herbicides. I lost stubborn weight after I switched to mostly organic foods. My blood pressure dropped too.Also much lower carbs and more healthy fat though not too much, and walk every day.
I enjoy your videos, thanks for the great content. I Lost 283 lbs on keto/carnivore and reversed my type 2 diabetes and all other medical issues!! Only Real food & very low carbs for the rest of my life!!! ❤
I didn't have diabetes or even pre diabetes. I had a suspicion that I started to become intolerant to carbs. Slight weight gain despite being fit and training. Anyway went keto 20 months ago and literally every extra pound fell off with no loss of strength. I'm with the Noakesmeister.....
Great interview! Thank you gentlemen. After trying both keto and carnivore I've found some carbs do help. Fruit and honey mostly with occasional rice, Italian pasta or sweet potato. I work out enough and stick to my plan enough that I will have some snacks on the weekend, as I think a balance is good for maintaining long term. Gotta enjoy life too!
Pasta is pasta 😂😅 Italian or else. Let an Italian tell you. Most of our pasta uses foreign wheat nowadays. On top of that it gets like glue in the stomach...,
Think he said brisket. Kind of hard to make it out. Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. And even if it was a biscuit, that small amount isn’t going to make any difference.
Congratulations Thomas .. in your quest to better educate people in health , you have succeeded in only constantly confusing everyone and causing anxiety and uncertainty to the brink of deep depression. May your likes and subscribes carry you to the rewards you deserve.
After years of deep diving into the subject of nutrition I've come to the conclusion it's an unsolvable puzzle. My belief today is that the human body is capable of keeping it's host (you) alive by digesting whatever is available at the time. If anything, I think exercise (not even hardcore sports) just exercise, keeping the body moving is vastly more important than diet. If you want a lean body, monitor your calory intake but that's it. Eat moderately, sleep well and keep your body moving with walks, light weight/resistance training and I believe you'll be okay. (bar any genetic defects you don't have much of a say in).
Actually, a recent finding showed that diet alone accounted for morbidity rates at a higher level than smoking, sedentary lifestyle and drinking COMBINED. Absolutely incredible! Just eat natural foods (no highly processed foods) and you will do just fine. 👍 edit: mainly meat (or all)
@@westb1028 With respect, the amount of contradictory "recent findings" out there is near impossible to keep track of. It starts as simple as: Vegetarian: " red meat gives you colon cancer" Carnivorian: "Plants contain harmful toxins". I literally just watched a video the other day on Brussel sprouts supposedly containing more than a dozen carcinogens. Then I hear Dr. Rhonda Patrick talk about a gut biome that needs to be diverse (through variable nutrition) or one species of bacteria will get the upper hand and make you ill. There truly is no consensus whatsoever on what actually benefits you (long term) other than that refined sugar is bad news. Everything else is up for endless debate. I settled on eating wholefoods as much as possible, walk to work, get enough sleep, I don't drink soft drinks or alcohol and keep the refined sugars to a minimum...that's it.
I have friends 10 years younger than me that are diabetic obese have arthritis, fibromyalgia I mean the list goes on and on and they are on multiple medication’s. The only reason I am on warfarin is because of occlusive DVT blood clot in 2007. I have no blood flow in my deep vein back to my heart and to keep me from having a secondary blood clot we’ve got me on warfarin other than that I have perfect blood pressure. My lipids are great and at 64 I am on nothing else and my 54 year old friends are wasting away and killing themselves, and it’s all from the food they eat. I have tried to be an influence, but they simply will not listen.
@@RuthlessRaccoon The liver can produce all the glucose required by the body via gluconeogenesis. Which is why there is no such thing as essential carbohydrates. The body can't produce essential amino acids or essential fatty acids. Which is why they are categorized as essential nutrients.
The Rosedale Diet, by the brilliant Ron Rosedale ,MD, advocates a keto diet that's based on monosaturated fats and is very low in saturated fats. It's the only keto diet that works for me.
I figured out years ago that the body's reaction to carbohydrates was defensive, not a preference for carbs. When you understand that high blood sugar damages blood vessels and organs and look at how the body will literally wear out an organ (the pancreas) in order to keep it low it becomes obvious that this isn't a reaction to a healthy substance, but a reaction to an unhealthy substance.
True. I've always been health conscious (or I thought I was) until I've realized in the last few years (after turning 60) that my body is aging quickly. I've found it all has to do with controlling blood sugar and that is central to good metabolic health. Now that I'm limiting sugar and carbs, I'm feeling a lot better. I've included one 36hr fast a week too. It is hard to unlearn old eating habits though and it's a struggle to free oneself of a lifetime of carb addiction.
@@TheNotsoignorant Best I can say is 'Good Luck!'. It's hard for me to be at peace when limiting or restricting things. If anything, I tend to indulge more when I do so. But, that's just me. I can't speak for anyone else.
The 10% who can handle more carbs are the ones who continually build muscle as they age. If someone isn't willing to build lots of muscle, their carb intake should decline as they age.
Dr. Tim Noakes talkes about low carb in very general terms and that is great, low for one person and low for another can be very different. Plus there is low carb with high protein and there is low carb with high fat, both very different. For many a "Periodization" is beneficial and for others no. He should have explained there is almost never a "zero" carb diet.
@@elkpaz560 sorry but generally No. Eggs have carbs, milk has carbs, liver has carbs, seafood has carbs, some cuts of steak have carbs.... Small amount but more than Zero.
The body's ability to hold onto essentials can't be understated, ergo I think the micro-nutrient deficiencies simply take a very long time to manifest. Much like a poor high-grain vegan diet they can often last a decade before their health issues become extreme enough to prompt them to change. That's just my guess at least, after all we're meant to starve and survive. So I think it's reasonable to assume that your body would be highly adapted to keeping the things that are essential but scarce during such extremely lean times.
If you have a cheese omelette with a slice or two of tomato, you'll have energy until well after midday. You can even add some bacon and sausage if you're very hungry.
Try to eat like 4 rolls of high quality low carb sushi. 300 calories doesn't cut it. I would recommend a minimum of 1k calories for breakfast to get you through the day until dinner.
I think the key is to eat food (as much as possible) the way food was 150++ years ago. BEFORE food manufacturers came along. NATURAL FOODS, grown NATURALLY (is this even possible in the soil that has been poisoned everywhere) 🤔 Foods that DON'T have "ingredients" listed for the most part. Whole foods. Foods that ARE FOOD. There's my 2¢ .
Try doing an intense training session without adequate carbohydrates. It's a poo session. Just eat less carbs. A body that can burn fat more effectively doesn't mean to say that it'll perform better without carbs. That's why the majority of all high performance athletes use carbs.
The problem here is: What kind of athletes are you even talking about? It seems like this is all about distance runners, bikers, swimmers and it does not surprise me at all that they do better when fat adapted. But what about high intensity sports like football? As far as I know, they all run on carbs. If they'd be better off on fats, they would do it. It is a billion dollar business and they got the best guidance there is. There is a performance limit on fat adaptation.
@Anthony myself including. Never put on muscle with less work than on strict carnivore. Not eating that way at the moment tho since I think it is too restrictive.
45 years ago Tim Noakes preached a cometely different story, strange how we bodybuilders are used for their research.... I'm not 20 years old anymore Prof.....
We have already learned from our evolution science that humans are the best long distance mammal on the planet. we can outdistance even horses. Long endurance tasks such as migrating entire continents on the jog would of course be achieved so much easier running entirely on fat, especially if our main source of sustenance while doing so would have been seeds, nuts and high polyphenol berries along the way. It also makes perfect sense that the more fat adapted high endurance you are, the more glycogen is stored for emergency pushes, like jogging for 5 hours then suddenly seeing a lion 20 ft away.
hi-s-tory is very faky. even pyramids world-wide could be distraction of what is possible, by "humans". think further and take natural views in account, make some tests to know more. take care. - b.t.w. 1. check, 13 universal laws ( includes, 7 hermetic laws ) 2. giant trees ( now, felled mountains ) world-wide, got, removed but animals-hunt - cave-paintings not. 3. fruit trees world-wide are removed too ? 4. eve ( and adam ) took apple but, god made, forbid and punish, is satan`s work. and take from 2. tree ( about life ) is allowed. 4. first tree, about good-bad - knowledge. not know much ( low educated ) is good for rulers. 5. i think, there are much religions`s propaganda, with snake offered this apple, as invented story. - 6. different, fruits ( raw food ) existed, ( denser = more carbs, less water, maybe less fiber too ). 7. and, ice age is made by rulers`s technology. - take care
I was always of the belief (as told at school) that fat was of no healthy value and was detrimental to our pancreas. The more l try to learn what is a healthy diet?.the more confused l get. I don't know who to believe or trust these days.
"the more confused l get. I don't know who to believe or trust these days." The position you're in, is exactly why I started making videos. My drive to clear things up keeps me going even tho I get small views and no money. I haven't been confused since 2010.
There's so much disagreement on carbs. I literally think I'm going to flip flop between keto and veganism every 3 months since it seems we'll never know who is right😮
Actually, this kind of flip flopping is probably good for you. As long as you’re eating REAL FOOD, I believe the body probably responds well to radical dietary change.
Everyone of these "diet and health experts" and even drs, especially drs, contradict each other. So the minute you start following one of them, another one pops up and says the opposite.
@@elkpaz560 same! I’ve had so much trouble losing extra weight caused by my medication. Within a like 1 1/2 years I was only able to drop 13 pounds. Now after being on keto for one month I’ve dropped 10 pounds. My ketones have remained hardly existent I will add, I stopped worrying about my ketones level because by going keto over cut out ALOT of food choices. I feel fine, Not tired, Not weak etc. no bad side effects. I stoped worrying so much about my ketone levels because when you only eat 20-30 carbs at the most a day, you’re going to lose weight either way. I eat FAR more fatty foods than I ever have and I eat way more calories than I ever have and I’m still losing weight.
He has a really interesting history. Australia tried to take his medical license away for espousing the low-carb lifestyle. He was victorious in the end but they tried really hard to ruin his life.
Me either. That alone would make me want to eat carbs and generally binge all day. I wonder if the biscuit was at least made of almond, coconut or some other low-car flour?
@@johnp7739 I used to feel this way, and now I eat 3-4 slices of french toast every morning (using plain white bread). Over the last 5 years I went from 230 and fat to as low as 6% body fat. Over-restriction leads to binges for me - moderation does not.
@@supirman That would set me off on a huge daily binge....but I realize we're all different. Ironically I broke a pretty decent streak of low-carb eating with packaged sweet oatmeal and peanut butter last night and it wasn't pretty (and didn't stop there). Moderation doesn't work for some of us.
@@supirman Yeah I had the binges too. And trying to allow myself some carbs every now and then and some foods that I love but are not that great keeps me from binging as much which in the end helps me lose more weight and stay more healthy so it's a tradeoff. Now when I notice that I'm really starting to crave more carbs again then I'll allow myself to eat them for 1-2 days and will feel great again and then I can usually go back to more keto/low carb for a week or so before I start craving again. And usually when I got the cravings I went completely overboard and now I'm moderating it more and that seems to work better at least.
So doing some research into Noakes revealed why. He has a much higher tolerance for carbs because... he's on metformin. Self-prescribed daily dosage of 2000mg, that reduces intestinal glucose absorption, so he's basically just eating the biscuit and sweet potato for taste.
I was 250 pounds about 3 years ago. I got rid of carbs and added sugar and now weigh 145. I didn't follow a certain diet. I put down the pizza, cupcakes and soda.
@@SamirNYC It depends, it depends, and it depends. Basically, they need to be natural and not ultra processed. We wouldn't like sugar so much if we didn't have need for it; Many of our systems operate on sugar, and though we can convert fats and proteins into sugar, we can certainly absorb it too. The problem is refined sugar, and way too much of it. It's easier to find fats and proteins in the wild, but our ancestors would not have eaten a lot of carbs until the agricultural revolution. Grains have been gathered for a long time, and are fine in their whole forms, but bleached grains are a problem. Same with oils; All earlier civilizations used a lot of oils, but they weren't refined oils.
Thats awesome. I don't think all carbs should be lumped in the same category, but that really changed the trajectory of your life. Congratulations man.
The real evil is processed sugary foods. Whole organically grown plants are very healthy, especially those lower in the glycemic index. For me personally, I don’t really care if it’s too high carb, as long it’s whole and organically grown. There are very few people who have a problem with high carb if it’s an organically grown vegetable or fruit. These people usually have a wack gut micro biome from consuming a limited amount of foods, such as processed sugars (bread, snacks, desserts, etc), as well as a large quantity of meats and little whole plant foods. The goal should be to build up your gut micro biome with probiotics and slowly introducing whole plant foods.
@@JoeARedHawk275 - there are many who have been vegan for years, who haven’t eaten junk food who became bloated and sick with autoimmune. They were eating only the best fruits and veg, and weren’t eating processed food, so it’s not always due to sugar and meat. In fact, these people often become carnivores and heal everything they experienced while being vegan, so it is not the meat at all. Check out Steak and Butter Gal, Nutrition with Judy, or Dr. Rimka. They are only just three of the vegans who went carnivore.
Thomas, this guy is pure gold! Doing the relevant research, experiments and studies, WOW! Your guest is the bomb, answering questions that i've been pondering for months. Please keep track of this gentleman's amazing work, best regards from Canada.
Except he hasn't done any research, he came up with a theory, applied it to himself (and failed, by the way, because in addition to his diet and exercise, he admitted to a self-prescribed 2000mg of metformin and other supplements to manage his diabetes in a 2016 interview, which he conveniently leaves out on his social media tour), has a long history of being criticized by the researchers he misquotes to support his claims that sugar causes cancer, and that cancer can be cured by going on a keto diet (despite the fact he's aware the liver produces a glucose when you go into a ketogenic state, so it's literally impossible to starve cancer). I do low carb, I'm not criticizing it, but he is a very troubled character with a terrible track record.
@@blarghmcblarghson1903 Correct me if I’m wrong. During ketosis the body only makes glucose to feed Red blood cells Kidney medulla, testicles and the brain needs a little. Cancer cells can’t use ketones and will be starved of glucose. So in theory yes it could kill cancer. Correct? I believe there are studies that show this.
At the beginning of the video Dr. Noakes said he had "biscuits and butter" for breakfast and then he said for dinner he is having "chicken and sweet potatoes". Someone needs to tell this so called doctor that biscuits and sweet potatoes are carbohydrates.
@@dontfit6380 That's the theory, but think about what's feeding tumors: blood. Blood that will always have glucose in it. It's important to understand what the physiological changes are to our cells when we go into ketosis; our body signals to most of the cells to start preferring ketones over glucose, so when the blood is using _and_ transporting glucose around the system, our normal cells aren't immediately snatching the free glucose away and accidentally starving the cells that can't use ketones. Cancer doesn't care, it's going to steal all the glucose it comes across, and going into ketosis means we've reduced the available glucose supply, but we've also just signaled for most of our body to not compete with cancer for what little glucose there is. The cancer will keep spreading like a wildfire, the parts furthest from the blood supply will probably starve and die out, but it's not going to stop the parts closest to the blood supply to continue spreading. Now _maybe_ this means you can slow down the cancer, but you'll never be able to fully starve it; it's just going to keep growing until a small clump of cancer cells break off, gets swept away by the blood stream, and winds up where all blood cells eventually do: your liver, Glucose Central, the all-you-can-eat promised land of cancer cells. At that point it doesn't matter what diet you're on, you've bought a one-way ticket to liver failure and there are no refunds. Theory aside, what's important is where are the studies showing that keto is more effective than chemo at curing cancer? There are none, it's literally too unethical to perform a study like that, so all the quacks who promote it rely on petri/lab rat studies and testimonials by a handful of randos. And a lack of testimonials by all the people who *died.* Yay for unethical, population-wide, unsupervised, unregulated human testing.
people aren't addicted to carbs. How many people binge on apples, or plain potatoes? What people consider 'carbs' is usually high calorie dense items that have as many fat calories as they do carb calories (ie: donuts, pizza, etc).
I was absolutely addicted to bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, chips, potatoes. Without question, I was physically addicted. Every hunger impulse I had was a false signal triggered by desire for a fresh hit of dopamine, regardless of whether I needed nourishment. Since 1/8/24, I’ve cut ALL grain, sugar, starch, and seed/vegetable oil. I eat only meat and its fat, fish, dairy, eggs, green veg, low glycemic fruit, monounsaturated oils, and nuts. After I detoxed from carbs, I became fat adapted. Now I eat to satiety and never experience hunger or cravings unless my body actually needs nourishment. I’ve dropped 80lbs of fat. My blood pressure has normalized. My doctor has taken me off statins and blood pressure meds. I no longer need reflux meds. I haven’t healed because I lost weight; I’ve lost weight because I’ve healed. Don’t tell me carbs are not addictive. I know better.
I started on Carnivore on November 27, 2023. My blood glucose constantly exceeded 18.3. Today, December 28, 2023, it tested at just 5.6!! 🥩 2:50 am. OMAD followed naturally, I just don't want to eat for a day after a small steak or leg of lamb chop. I also lost >5kg over this month. Feel healthy again. Beautiful yellow morning urine. I sleep well, no leg cramps, no restless legs. No insomnia.
I met Tim in about 2010 in Durban just before the trials attempted to silence him. Fantastic guy without a selfish bone in his body IMHO. Humble and knowledgeable. What he and a handful of others have managed to do is amazing for human suffering and health. I would put him forward for a Nobel prize!

I was watching a video about a woman who was captured by the Souix In 1864. She said their diet was almost exclusively meat and they may fast one day and eat meat frequently all the next day. They skinned bison so completely it looked like the bone had been boiled. They dried the meat immediately and it was hung and dried covered with dirt and dung.
@@evanlouis8853 Your statistics mean nothing in this context. People died of infectious diseases and there were wars through the entire 19th century. Infant mortality was high for everyone. So you need to give exact context to your number or it means nothing overall.
In NZ without a restricted hunting season Hunters who are out in the cold, and wet while sleeping regularly on hard ground for years get arthritis. That's Indians for you.
Prof Noakes's lifestyle enabled me to lose 24kg's and for the first time in my adult life I'm at my goal-weight! I mainly eat ground beef, eggs, ostrich meat, some butter and take no medications or supplements. I only eat one meal a day. Great discussion!
@@SimplicityForGood I can't even recall when last I visited a doctor or had any tests done and I'm 61yrs old. I rely on my body to give me signs. I'm 95% carnivore as I drink coffee with milk and have a chocolate once a week. My only advice if you are carnivore is to eat until you are full as it's easy in the beginning to eat too little. Perhaps start with 2 meals a day and see how you do. All the best to you!
I have to thank Thomas not because of good information but because of the information of saying it’s okay to eat or these different foods which started me getting cravings for more and more of foods that push you out of eating healthy. So thank you as it made me find carnivore and now it’s been a year and I felt great from the time I started and still do.
Good luck with cancer and gut issues later in life with 0 fibre. The all cause mortality studies are quite clear - those who eat less fibre, live far less. These carnivore idiots who say "I've been eating it for 6 months and feel great". Think of it this way, my friend has been smoking for 6 months and feels great. So he's decided to smoke for much longer. See the idiotic, lack of logic of your carnivore nonsense? Don't get your advice from Thomas, he couldn't he even tell you how water boils. Go find a highly qualified nutritionist and ask them if you should eliminate fibre. You won't find one who would say yes, if they paid attention in their health science lectures.
I like how the conversation is about not needing carbs and Dr. Noakes starts off his day with a biscuit! ha! Such great information here - really enjoyed this interview!
You guys Aced it! I did a low carb keto diet for 6 years after being 16.5 stone. I dropped to 12.5 stone. I have returned on a carb diet for 2 years now and weight has maintained, I reversed my dads type 2 diabetes with it. You describe a problem I had with training with carb creep in the morning, or morning dawn phenomenon. I only get it when lifting weights. Tried 3 times to solve it without effect. Basically Morning fasted Glucose is too high then I eat fat and it drops. But the longer I do this the higher it goes. I did find a video on Stephen Phinney saying he only knows to refeed which I have and it fixes it but as soon as you start ketosis again you are fine but if you train you get close to getting knocked out of ketosis in the morning. It is self repeating and I am curious if you solved it? I tried MCT oil before training, did not work, tried MCT with 50gram of glucose before training, did not work! Also regarding saturated fat you will be happy to know that it cant enter the blood stream when in ketosis! And in my opinion your blood lipids will go higher and not lower, but it is all the protective ones so total cholesterol means nothing! If you want my DATA I have recorded and will share! Good job!
On another note I also am starting to believe that cycling between glucose and ketones might have more benefit. EG. Ketones increase mitochondria and the reap the results with limited carbs then switch back!
Whoever told you saturated fat cannot enter the bloodstream in ketosis, is lying to you. This is utter nonsense. If it could not, you would not function. This is probably the stupid comment I've read today. Maybe even this week. You store way more fat during ketosis, but you also burn more fat. You store less fat when using a balanced diet. But also burn less. It's all balance. What will ALWAYS matter is energy ingestion vs energy expenditure. Also, if you have heart disease in the genes, you have to stay away from sat fat like the plague. Each person is different but the all cause mortality studies are quote clear, saturated fat is not great when over consumed for CVD. Ketosis should only really be considered for those wanting to reverse type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes and those looking to improve HBA1C markers. Simple.
@@randypanthegoatboy2 If you said was true then the mummies of Egypt which have been studied in the thousands would not show a tremendous amount of Cardiovascular disease. The Egyptians were known as etophigoi, the bread eaters. They all had dental caries and all had diseases of high levels of estrogen. Most men had gynocomastia. At some point the carbs catch up to you and they are the cause of heart disease. Not the saturated fats. The ancestors who were hypercarnivores eating huge amounts of meat and huge amounts of fat did not have heart disease. Anthropologists are clear on this. But seems like most people, MDs included, are ignorant of the latest conclusions by anthropologists.
@@randypanthegoatboy2 you’re talking about biased epidemiology or observational studies. Controlled studies (and biochemical logic) tell us that saturated fat doesn’t oxidize and is the body’s preferred energy source. Only saturated fats made from carbs (blood triglycerides) are dangerous as far as CVD.
@@randypanthegoatboy2 we lived off saturated fats for hundreds of thousands of years….and suddenly in the past few decades it started causing heart disease? Heart disease in America is inversely associated with saturated fat intake over the decades. Sat fat is absolutely NOT the problem. Observational studies suck….but they are good to ELIMINATE things. Since saturated fat intake has decreased to 1/3 what we ate 100 years ago and heart disease went through the roof during that time, tells us it’s not the issue. Saturated fat has decreased in the last 20 years yet the rate of CVD has doubled and diabetes rate increased by 4.5x!!!! This alone eliminates Sat fat as the cause. If anything it’s evidence it could be the cure.
Understanding that glucose is stored in the liver and then released when you try to go keto is so important to understand. Watching Dr. Boz I realized why even though I fasted for 5 days straight my glucose went UP for 4 of the 5 days. Sardines made a huge difference to me.
Sardines are magic. I have been carnivore 160 days hardly lost a pound every 2 weeks did the sardine fast 3 days lost 4.4 pounds felt amazing. Mimic autophagy. Dr. Boz sardine challenge
@@michelesimpson2237 Havent lost weight in 160 days carnivore? Either eating too much protein and not enough fat, or just eating too much and too often.
What on earth is wrong with eating a pro vita biscuit and sweet potato? No one ever said ŹERO carbs... Just very little carbs. Dr Noakes is an expert in his field. What qualification do you have?
@@dianasolfest7237 I had thyroid cancer stage 3 with lymph nodes affected too, did 2 surgeries and RAI. Had massive side effects and RAI just provoked more cancer in me. I denied a 2nd round of RAI and did less than 5% keto for 3 months. Didn’t have cancer again after that.
He means that carbohydrates should not be the focus of your diet. He doesn't encourage zero carbs. Low carb, high fat is the idea. His Banting diet encourages some carbs with every meal.
@@LTPottenger I’m on keto and I still incorporate some veggies into my diet. But I definitely Portion them out unlike before I would eat huge portion of veggies. I do enjoy the fiver from them but I only eat 20 carbs a day total. So I have to measure all my carbs including from my veggies

Thomas, I listened, but it would be nice to have a short video with written summary with the best take aways to apply to our life. It is so much science.
I'm no athlete but since switching to 100% carnivore 6 months ago, my recovery at 56yo is greatly improved after a heavy exercise session, got down 32lbs to my 30yo weight but regain much of my muscle mass with little effort. When I was on SAD, I HAD TO give myself a day or two to recover from a heavy exercise session and muscle gains were not that huge. Now I can exercise daily and only rest on Sunday. Thank you for a great interview. It totally agrees with what I'm experiencing.
I had wholegrains and fruits, not junks, but they still make me sick and obese. Now I eat mostly animal based foods and I feel healthier than ever.
Same with me, used to be mostly vegetarian but that made me sick as I got older, went low carb animal based foods diet at age 56 now at 60 I'm healthier and more athletic that ever !
Is fruit animal based?
@@marynguyen6417 millions will find that fact out.
After almost a year on keto I had to quit. No matter how much salt, Electrolytes or vitamins I took, my muscles always felt weak, especially during exercise.
Don't get me wrong. It was great losing weight and I'm sure some people thrive with it. But my body simply can't adapt to it. So I switched to Paleo and started adding fruit and Immediately my muscles felt great. And I'm not even heavy on carbs, just added 50-100g of carbs daily and my body is thanking me for that. No need to eat rice or pasta, just 2-3 fruits and it's a game changer. Fruit is good.
That's correct. Fruit is amazing and so many other carbohydrates given to us by nature are too. Its ridiculous when people say that the human body wasn't made to handle carbs when it's the bodies main fuel source by converting these into glucose.
That's a great diet you have there.
Glucose is the primary fuel. It’s so critical that the body can synthesize it when carbohydrate intake from whole foods is inadequate.
@@swanseaboy76 i disagree that it is the bodies main fuel source. Remember our bodies can produce glucose. This implies carbohydrate as a "fuel" is a 'as needed', not a primary. Personally, given prehistoric diets of pre-historic man, makes sense we are adapted for fat storage, and fat burning. Carbs is more of a stimulant, because naturally our bodies don't have it, and just creates what it needs, a kind of catalyst for certain metabolic needs. So, my opinion, modern society has been snorting the equivalent of crack for the last 70 years and all the metabolic health issues that have arisen is the result.
i'm not advocating no carbs, but keep them low. no more than 100g a day. depends on your activities and personal metabolism ofcourse, but typical sedentary office work/management level person should not exceed that.
@@ericaugust1501 yes I agree that it's best to keep carbs low, otherwise it's like priming a lawn mower with too much fuel. I don't think it's a good idea to completely remove carbs though, especially if you regularly participate in high intensity exercise.

- C8 MCT oil can have a positive effect on energy and athletic performance
- Reducing sugar and carb addiction is key to fat adaptation
- Eating real foods is important for health and performance
- Micronutrients may play a role in athletic performance and long-term health
- This is a story about a man who taught the speaker their PhD and would not allow them to eat saturated fat.
- He died a crumpled up old man with dementia due to not getting enough fat and fat-soluble vitamins.
- The speaker believes that the more carbs you eat, the more likely you are to have an inflexible spine.
- The scientists studying runners with shin splints say they are not getting enough calories, but the speaker believes they are not getting proper nutrition and the micronutrients they need.

- The speaker has formed the Nokes Foundation to educate the public and physicians about the low carbohydrate diet and to do research on it.
- The Nokes Foundation is also working on the Eat Better South Africa campaign to get good nutrition to the poorest people.
- The speaker can be found on Twitter at Prof Tim Nokes and has written a piece on academic bullying.

Prof Noakes is the most decent human being alive! Such a humble man that made such a huge difference!!
Dr. Noakes is a legend in the world of LCHF/Keto and is featured in the movie Cereal Killers and the movie Fat Fiction which really both highlight his knowledge and the struggles he had promoting this lifestyle. I really admire him and love to hear him.
True its marvellous hearing good news about bat habits
Yes, this poor man was almost completely canceled by his peers for telling major truths!
@@lucasley20 thats bro science
All those world class athletes have no idea about what’s best for performance. Give me a break Dr.Worm.
He's full of crap. We wouldn't have glycoproteins -- which protect the gut's mucosal barrier -- without carbohydrates (sugars) in diet.
Dr Noakes saved my life 12 years ago, I would have died from Diabetes and cancer
Wow. I have never heard of him.
@@Rachidasister His first book was Lore of Running 1986. So he's been studying nutrition and an athlete longer than Thomas has been alive.
I’d it weren’t for me being able to get fat adapted I’d be diabetic and dying. Fat adaption prolongs life and limits health degeneration. Absolutely. Carbs have their place for specific things like famine or a special treat
I’m very carb sensitive too. People tell me as long as I’m within my daily calorie intake, I should be able to consume breads and pasta even twice a day or even once a day. If I do that, I tend to hang on to fat and even increase it on my body. If I eat low carbs, my body responds better.
o so you went and got the tests immediately after consuming cabs . My guess is you didnt go get your body fat accurately tested and are just making baseless guesses based on feelings and scale changes. Even though that weight gain could just be water weight
Same here
OUTSTANDING! Great interview and so informative. Thomas, thank you for introducing Dr. Noakes, what tremendous and much needed work!!
I couldn’t agree more! Wonderful content and best video I’ve seen in a while!! Thank you Thomas!!
Prof Noakes
Dr Noaks changed South Africa a few years ago. People went crazy for "banting" 100s of people started banting and changed their lives. He made it simple and easy to understand. I myself am truly grateful to him for teaching me that eating doesn't have to consume your every thoughts all day.
I moved away from keto and am now carnivore which does great for me. But it all started with this man being brave enough to go against everything everyone believed.
If you don't mind me asking, why did you go from keto to carnivore? I've looked at both and am considering keto. My uncle went carnivore and dropped 30 pounds in 3 months and is now within 5 pounds of his goal weight. That being said, carnivore doesn't have much flexibility while keto does allow more variety for eating.
@RickySpanish12344 I'm lazy. 🤦♀️ I work hospitality. Long hours and constant go. Butter coffee in the morning and a big fat steak somewhere in the day. Life sorted. Keto is good. But the cravings and wanting something yum never goes away. Carnivore makes you look at only meat as food after a while. Even veggies don't seem like food to me anymore. So the variety need just fades on its own.
I tried it by default. And the weirdest things happened. I was always healthy and I love gym. So it's not a weight thing. But my energy, mood, sense of smell, dark circles, sleep, dry skin... without wanting it to... just improved.
I'll tell you the negative though. If you go strict Carnivore... when you do introduce other things back in. Even spices... you body is NOT your friend. Hahahaha
But try it for 7 days. Its pretty cool to see yourself at peak performance just because.
@@natashamcclintock1324 your body isn’t your friend when you introduce others foods because you are not used to it. Especially fibre. You lack the diversity of gut microbes to be able to break it down and it results in the most awful digestive discomfort. It doesn’t make sense to me to only eat meat. It does make sense that you feel better though but I don’t believe it is the result of omitting carbohydrates and other foods. More so that you are eating less, losing weight, stabilising blood sugar and insulin, exercising more, have less stress about food in general, get a lot of bioavailable nutrients from meat that you weren’t getting before. It’s not exclusively due to you cutting out carbs. You might have felt just as healthy on a clean Mediterranean diet for example.
@Caliban071 nothing you say is incorrect and I know all of this... you must understand though... I have always been healthy. Iv never been overweight and have been athletic all my life. I didn't go from sad to carnivore or banting. I went from green smoothie queen and brown rice, chicken breast and broccoli to banting. I can't stick to just meat anyway, it was a good test, i saw great results and most days i just eat a steak, not every day though. But I can tell you... if I was overweight or sickly... I would use carnivore for a year to reset my body.
@@natashamcclintock1324
I agree. It’s a good reset tool. I’m very lean and don’t have the fat to sustain my energy levels and can’t get enough fat in the day to mitigate this. I lose too much weight and look Ill.
I discovered my inflammation was caused by chemicals in food as well as gluten and sugar. The chemicals I identified and avoid include artificial sweeteners(diet soda gave me swollen joints)and herbicides. I lost stubborn weight after I switched to mostly organic foods. My blood pressure dropped too.Also much lower carbs and more healthy fat though not too much, and walk every day.
how did you discovered all of that?
@@angelogmuller probably felt horrible and changed a few things and noticed differences.
I enjoy your videos, thanks for the great content. I Lost 283 lbs on keto/carnivore and reversed my type 2 diabetes and all other medical issues!! Only Real food & very low carbs for the rest of my life!!! ❤
I didn't have diabetes or even pre diabetes. I had a suspicion that I started to become intolerant to carbs. Slight weight gain despite being fit and training.
Anyway went keto 20 months ago and literally every extra pound fell off with no loss of strength.
I'm with the Noakesmeister.....
Great interview! Thank you gentlemen. After trying both keto and carnivore I've found some carbs do help. Fruit and honey mostly with occasional rice, Italian pasta or sweet potato. I work out enough and stick to my plan enough that I will have some snacks on the weekend, as I think a balance is good for maintaining long term. Gotta enjoy life too!
That's your carb addiction talking
@@Zachhatesyoutube
That's your zealotry talking.
Zach W, Are you one of those weirdos that thinks that anyone who eats any carbohydrates is an “addict”?
When people say "you gotta live life" they're making excuses for their bad food choices.
Pasta is pasta 😂😅 Italian or else.
Let an Italian tell you. Most of our pasta uses foreign wheat nowadays. On top of that it gets like glue in the stomach...,
If you are looking at health and don’t know about Dr Noakes you haven’t looked into nutrition and diets enough.
He had a biscuit for breakfast - "Dr. Tim Noakes - Our Bodies ARE NOT Designed to Use Carbohydrates for Energy". Lol!!!
Think he said brisket. Kind of hard to make it out. Gonna give him the benefit of the doubt. And even if it was a biscuit, that small amount isn’t going to make any difference.
You should go to your Doctor and have a healthy ear check up.
It was beef he mentioned for his breakfast.
@@kylewtslaunwhite "A brisket?" For breakfast? And, what's a "tiny bit" of biscuit? A whole biscuit?
Dude definitely said biscuit, even in the auto generated subtitles it's biscuit...
Congratulations Thomas .. in your quest to better educate people in health , you have succeeded in only constantly confusing everyone and causing anxiety and uncertainty to the brink of deep depression. May your likes and subscribes carry you to the rewards you deserve.
After years of deep diving into the subject of nutrition I've come to the conclusion it's an unsolvable puzzle. My belief today is that the human body is capable of keeping it's host (you) alive by digesting whatever is available at the time. If anything, I think exercise (not even hardcore sports) just exercise, keeping the body moving is vastly more important than diet. If you want a lean body, monitor your calory intake but that's it. Eat moderately, sleep well and keep your body moving with walks, light weight/resistance training and I believe you'll be okay. (bar any genetic defects you don't have much of a say in).
Actually, a recent finding showed that diet alone accounted for morbidity rates at a higher level than smoking, sedentary lifestyle and drinking COMBINED. Absolutely incredible! Just eat natural foods (no highly processed foods) and you will do just fine. 👍 edit: mainly meat (or all)
@@westb1028 With respect, the amount of contradictory "recent findings" out there is near impossible to keep track of. It starts as simple as: Vegetarian: " red meat gives you colon cancer" Carnivorian: "Plants contain harmful toxins". I literally just watched a video the other day on Brussel sprouts supposedly containing more than a dozen carcinogens. Then I hear Dr. Rhonda Patrick talk about a gut biome that needs to be diverse (through variable nutrition) or one species of bacteria will get the upper hand and make you ill.
There truly is no consensus whatsoever on what actually benefits you (long term) other than that refined sugar is bad news. Everything else is up for endless debate. I settled on eating wholefoods as much as possible, walk to work, get enough sleep, I don't drink soft drinks or alcohol and keep the refined sugars to a minimum...that's it.
Right on! Couldnt agree more.
You can't outrun a bad diet.
Many cases showing mental health issues linked to diet
I have friends 10 years younger than me that are diabetic obese have arthritis, fibromyalgia I mean the list goes on and on and they are on multiple medication’s. The only reason I am on warfarin is because of occlusive DVT blood clot in 2007. I have no blood flow in my deep vein back to my heart and to keep me from having a secondary blood clot we’ve got me on warfarin other than that I have perfect blood pressure. My lipids are great and at 64 I am on nothing else and my 54 year old friends are wasting away and killing themselves, and it’s all from the food they eat. I have tried to be an influence, but they simply will not listen.
There are essential amino acids and essential fatty acids. However, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
They are essential, glucose is necessary for the body.
@@RuthlessRaccoon The liver can produce all the glucose required by the body via gluconeogenesis. Which is why there is no such thing as essential carbohydrates.

Hello from Africa, it's always been great to watch your channel 😀, keep up good work, bless,
The Rosedale Diet, by the brilliant Ron Rosedale ,MD, advocates a keto diet that's based on monosaturated fats and is very low in saturated fats. It's the only keto diet that works for me.
Saturated fats are the healthiest fats🥩🍳🥓
Thomas thank you for educating me for free and all of your content out there helping literally millions of people to stay healthy and look good.
It ain’t free man he’s making bank on these videos get real.
I figured out years ago that the body's reaction to carbohydrates was defensive, not a preference for carbs. When you understand that high blood sugar damages blood vessels and organs and look at how the body will literally wear out an organ (the pancreas) in order to keep it low it becomes obvious that this isn't a reaction to a healthy substance, but a reaction to an unhealthy substance.
True. I've always been health conscious (or I thought I was) until I've realized in the last few years (after turning 60) that my body is aging quickly. I've found it all has to do with controlling blood sugar and that is central to good metabolic health. Now that I'm limiting sugar and carbs, I'm feeling a lot better. I've included one 36hr fast a week too. It is hard to unlearn old eating habits though and it's a struggle to free oneself of a lifetime of carb addiction.
that's a great way of framing it! I'm stealing this!
This is scientifically false.
@@TheNotsoignorant Best I can say is 'Good Luck!'. It's hard for me to be at peace when limiting or restricting things. If anything, I tend to indulge more when I do so. But, that's just me. I can't speak for anyone else.
@@GlueTubber Have at it!
Interesting, I noticed too that when I eat macadamia nuts and olive oil I’m able to maintain a low carb diet easier.

The 10% who can handle more carbs are the ones who continually build muscle as they age. If someone isn't willing to build lots of muscle, their carb intake should decline as they age.
One of the main reason why ppl are overweight besides junk food is lack of physical work.
Dr. Tim Noakes talkes about low carb in very general terms and that is great, low for one person and low for another can be very different. Plus there is low carb with high protein and there is low carb with high fat, both very different. For many a "Periodization" is beneficial and for others no. He should have explained there is almost never a "zero" carb diet.
Carnivore is.
@@elkpaz560 sorry but generally No. Eggs have carbs, milk has carbs, liver has carbs, seafood has carbs, some cuts of steak have carbs.... Small amount but more than Zero.
Fruits and vegetables have carbs so how aren’t we supposed to eat them
Ordered the coconut macadamia nut bars… hope they’re still keto! Thank you for all of your information. ❤
Another great interview!
After 45 minutes watching a video all about the benefits of low carb, here I am tucking into peanut butter on toast... Doh!
How do you determine your daily oil intake?
The body's ability to hold onto essentials can't be understated, ergo I think the micro-nutrient deficiencies simply take a very long time to manifest. Much like a poor high-grain vegan diet they can often last a decade before their health issues become extreme enough to prompt them to change.
That's just my guess at least, after all we're meant to starve and survive. So I think it's reasonable to assume that your body would be highly adapted to keeping the things that are essential but scarce during such extremely lean times.
but is there a possibility that our bodies in the last 12k years, have evolved even a little to be able to use some amount of carbs for optimal health
I used to wonder why I was starving by the time I got to my first class of the day in college after eating a big bowl of oatmeal for breakfast.
lol oatmeal is so gross if you think about it, with what it does in your body.
@@PraiseJesusChristOurSavior what does it do?
If you have a cheese omelette with a slice or two of tomato, you'll have energy until well after midday. You can even add some bacon and sausage if you're very hungry.
Try to eat like 4 rolls of high quality low carb sushi. 300 calories doesn't cut it. I would recommend a minimum of 1k calories for breakfast to get you through the day until dinner.
if you ate a bowl of butter you would be hungry as well.
I think the key is to eat food (as much as possible) the way food was 150++ years ago.
BEFORE food manufacturers came along.
NATURAL FOODS, grown NATURALLY (is this even possible in the soil that has been poisoned everywhere) 🤔
Foods that DON'T have "ingredients" listed for the most part. Whole foods.
Foods that ARE FOOD.
There's my 2¢ .
Why is 30 percent sunblock better than a higher amount?
Try doing an intense training session without adequate carbohydrates. It's a poo session. Just eat less carbs. A body that can burn fat more effectively doesn't mean to say that it'll perform better without carbs. That's why the majority of all high performance athletes use carbs.
Awesome video T.D.L.!!
Thanks for all you do!
Just a comment and a like for the algorithm.
i do a lot wrong at 75, but for my fats e.v.o.o. and Costco New Zealand grass fed butter
And yet athletes in training need lots of carbs.
Extremist diet fads are all over the world. Balance and moderation is key.
excellent conversation!
Am i the only one who heard him say he had a biscuit and cheese for breakfast? That is alot of carbs
well, there are keto biscuits, you know?
The problem here is: What kind of athletes are you even talking about? It seems like this is all about distance runners, bikers, swimmers and it does not surprise me at all that they do better when fat adapted. But what about high intensity sports like football? As far as I know, they all run on carbs. If they'd be better off on fats, they would do it. It is a billion dollar business and they got the best guidance there is. There is a performance limit on fat adaptation.
This only works for people who DON'T BODYBUILD to put on muscle mass.💪
Tell that to a carnivore.
@Anthony search it on TH-cam.
I would imagine any diet and steroids can put on muscle
@Anthony myself including. Never put on muscle with less work than on strict carnivore. Not eating that way at the moment tho since I think it is too restrictive.
@Anthony because they’re on steroids
Cortisol = intense exercise= higher glucose. Not a big mystery. It’s not a bad thing.

…that said “I had a biscuit for breakfast” 😂
Great vid thanks gents
I believe he said brisket.
"I had a biscuit with cheese and butter." This guy is gonna be in the grave in 2 years, Mark my word!
So is he saying thomas is pre-diabetic since his glucose rises so much during resistance training?
Are we still at this point after Layne Norton debunked all of these claims? There's no end to how greedy these characters can be.
Layne "Pop-Tart" Norton. Professional skeptics are the worst kind of fraudsters.

In almost every blue zone, their diets revolve highly on carbs. So I'll pay attention to those that live over 100 first
Lmboo 🤣🤣🤣
There are no successful low carb pro athletes

We have already learned from our evolution science that humans are the best long distance mammal on the planet. we can outdistance even horses.
Long endurance tasks such as migrating entire continents on the jog would of course be achieved so much easier running entirely on fat, especially if our main source of sustenance while doing so would have been seeds, nuts and high polyphenol berries along the way.
It also makes perfect sense that the more fat adapted high endurance you are, the more glycogen is stored for emergency pushes, like jogging for 5 hours then suddenly seeing a lion 20 ft away.

I don't know who to believe or trust these days."
The position you're in, is exactly why I started making videos. My drive to clear things up keeps me going even tho I get small views and no money.
I haven't been confused since 2010.
There's so much disagreement on carbs. I literally think I'm going to flip flop between keto and veganism every 3 months since it seems we'll never know who is right😮
I do vegan keto, it is great.
Actually, this kind of flip flopping is probably good for you. As long as you’re eating REAL FOOD, I believe the body probably responds well to radical dietary change.
Two of my most favorite guys in this space.
Tell me your info is super helpful and super accurate thank you so much!
Why is Thomas still afraid of saturated fat??
Everyone of these "diet and health experts" and even drs, especially drs, contradict each other. So the minute you start following one of them, another one pops up and says the opposite.
Yes but only since I dropped the carbs did I lose 30 years of excess weight.
@@elkpaz560 same! I’ve had so much trouble losing extra weight caused by my medication. Within a like 1 1/2 years I was only able to drop 13 pounds. Now after being on keto for one month I’ve dropped 10 pounds. My ketones have remained hardly existent I will add, I stopped worrying about my ketones level because by going keto over cut out ALOT of food choices. I feel fine, Not tired, Not weak etc. no bad side effects. I stoped worrying so much about my ketone levels because when you only eat 20-30 carbs at the most a day, you’re going to lose weight either way. I eat FAR more fatty foods than I ever have and I eat way more calories than I ever have and I’m still losing weight.
And in the meantime you dont do anything with this defeatist rationalization you get sicker and fatter eating carbs ...😂
Yes impossible to make sense.
@@elkpaz560 what kind of carbs did you drop? Krispy Kreme or broccoli?
Never heard of Dr. Noakes before today and I am sure glad I now have. Thanks Thomas for sharing him with us.
Check him out. He upset the running world by his road to Damascus experience.
He has a really interesting history. Australia tried to take his medical license away for espousing the low-carb lifestyle. He was victorious in the end but they tried really hard to ruin his life.
You wasting your time. He flip flops so many times
@@OU812cheetoHi, it was South Africa, not Australia.
@@GlennMarshallnz Sorry, yes it was. Thank you for pointing that out!
I didn’t expect them to open with “for breakfast I had a buiscut, and a sweet potato for dinner” 😳
Me either. That alone would make me want to eat carbs and generally binge all day. I wonder if the biscuit was at least made of almond, coconut or some other low-car flour?
@@johnp7739 I used to feel this way, and now I eat 3-4 slices of french toast every morning (using plain white bread). Over the last 5 years I went from 230 and fat to as low as 6% body fat. Over-restriction leads to binges for me - moderation does not.
@@supirman That would set me off on a huge daily binge....but I realize we're all different. Ironically I broke a pretty decent streak of low-carb eating with packaged sweet oatmeal and peanut butter last night and it wasn't pretty (and didn't stop there). Moderation doesn't work for some of us.
@@supirman Yeah I had the binges too. And trying to allow myself some carbs every now and then and some foods that I love but are not that great keeps me from binging as much which in the end helps me lose more weight and stay more healthy so it's a tradeoff.
Now when I notice that I'm really starting to crave more carbs again then I'll allow myself to eat them for 1-2 days and will feel great again and then I can usually go back to more keto/low carb for a week or so before I start craving again.
And usually when I got the cravings I went completely overboard and now I'm moderating it more and that seems to work better at least.
So doing some research into Noakes revealed why. He has a much higher tolerance for carbs because... he's on metformin. Self-prescribed daily dosage of 2000mg, that reduces intestinal glucose absorption, so he's basically just eating the biscuit and sweet potato for taste.
I was 250 pounds about 3 years ago. I got rid of carbs and added sugar and now weigh 145. I didn't follow a certain diet. I put down the pizza, cupcakes and soda.
Actually, pizza's not that bad really, and can be healthy depending on how you make it. Even cupcakes and sodas could be sweetened with allulose.
@WhatIsMisophonia stop this bs. Sugar, oil and flour are bad for you.
@@SamirNYC It depends, it depends, and it depends. Basically, they need to be natural and not ultra processed. We wouldn't like sugar so much if we didn't have need for it; Many of our systems operate on sugar, and though we can convert fats and proteins into sugar, we can certainly absorb it too. The problem is refined sugar, and way too much of it. It's easier to find fats and proteins in the wild, but our ancestors would not have eaten a lot of carbs until the agricultural revolution. Grains have been gathered for a long time, and are fine in their whole forms, but bleached grains are a problem. Same with oils; All earlier civilizations used a lot of oils, but they weren't refined oils.
Thats awesome. I don't think all carbs should be lumped in the same category, but that really changed the trajectory of your life. Congratulations man.
High quality carbs but in low amounts is what works for me. Most Americans are eating both the wrong kind and too many.
The real evil is processed sugary foods. Whole organically grown plants are very healthy, especially those lower in the glycemic index. For me personally, I don’t really care if it’s too high carb, as long it’s whole and organically grown. There are very few people who have a problem with high carb if it’s an organically grown vegetable or fruit. These people usually have a wack gut micro biome from consuming a limited amount of foods, such as processed sugars (bread, snacks, desserts, etc), as well as a large quantity of meats and little whole plant foods. The goal should be to build up your gut micro biome with probiotics and slowly introducing whole plant foods.
Exactly!
Which carbs do you eat?
@@JoeARedHawk275 - there are many who have been vegan for years, who haven’t eaten junk food who became bloated and sick with autoimmune. They were eating only the best fruits and veg, and weren’t eating processed food, so it’s not always due to sugar and meat. In fact, these people often become carnivores and heal everything they experienced while being vegan, so it is not the meat at all. Check out Steak and Butter Gal, Nutrition with Judy, or Dr. Rimka. They are only just three of the vegans who went carnivore.
@@OneCarbonCopy my carbs are raw wild flower honey, fruit, dairy, white rice, frozen ezekial bread.
Thomas, this guy is pure gold! Doing the relevant research, experiments and studies, WOW! Your guest is the bomb, answering questions that i've been pondering for months. Please keep track of this gentleman's amazing work, best regards from Canada.
Except he hasn't done any research, he came up with a theory, applied it to himself (and failed, by the way, because in addition to his diet and exercise, he admitted to a self-prescribed 2000mg of metformin and other supplements to manage his diabetes in a 2016 interview, which he conveniently leaves out on his social media tour), has a long history of being criticized by the researchers he misquotes to support his claims that sugar causes cancer, and that cancer can be cured by going on a keto diet (despite the fact he's aware the liver produces a glucose when you go into a ketogenic state, so it's literally impossible to starve cancer).
I do low carb, I'm not criticizing it, but he is a very troubled character with a terrible track record.
@@blarghmcblarghson1903
Correct me if I’m wrong. During ketosis the body only makes glucose to feed Red blood cells
Kidney medulla, testicles and the brain needs a little. Cancer cells can’t use ketones and will be starved of glucose. So in theory yes it could kill cancer. Correct? I believe there are studies that show this.
At the beginning of the video Dr. Noakes said he had "biscuits and butter" for breakfast and then he said for dinner he is having "chicken and sweet potatoes". Someone needs to tell this so called doctor that biscuits and sweet potatoes are carbohydrates.
@@dontfit6380 That's the theory, but think about what's feeding tumors: blood. Blood that will always have glucose in it.
It's important to understand what the physiological changes are to our cells when we go into ketosis; our body signals to most of the cells to start preferring ketones over glucose, so when the blood is using _and_ transporting glucose around the system, our normal cells aren't immediately snatching the free glucose away and accidentally starving the cells that can't use ketones.
Cancer doesn't care, it's going to steal all the glucose it comes across, and going into ketosis means we've reduced the available glucose supply, but we've also just signaled for most of our body to not compete with cancer for what little glucose there is. The cancer will keep spreading like a wildfire, the parts furthest from the blood supply will probably starve and die out, but it's not going to stop the parts closest to the blood supply to continue spreading.
Now _maybe_ this means you can slow down the cancer, but you'll never be able to fully starve it; it's just going to keep growing until a small clump of cancer cells break off, gets swept away by the blood stream, and winds up where all blood cells eventually do: your liver, Glucose Central, the all-you-can-eat promised land of cancer cells. At that point it doesn't matter what diet you're on, you've bought a one-way ticket to liver failure and there are no refunds.
Theory aside, what's important is where are the studies showing that keto is more effective than chemo at curing cancer? There are none, it's literally too unethical to perform a study like that, so all the quacks who promote it rely on petri/lab rat studies and testimonials by a handful of randos. And a lack of testimonials by all the people who *died.* Yay for unethical, population-wide, unsupervised, unregulated human testing.
@@JesusChrist5000 there are many recipes for low carb biscuits. The doctor didn’t say how much sweet potato he ate.
YES...Carb Addiction is real.
@Anthony "fear mongering"? that is kinda hyperbolic, not so? Are you here for the content or are you here to troll?
people aren't addicted to carbs. How many people binge on apples, or plain potatoes? What people consider 'carbs' is usually high calorie dense items that have as many fat calories as they do carb calories (ie: donuts, pizza, etc).
I was absolutely addicted to bread, pasta, crackers, cookies, chips, potatoes. Without question, I was physically addicted. Every hunger impulse I had was a false signal triggered by desire for a fresh hit of dopamine, regardless of whether I needed nourishment. Since 1/8/24, I’ve cut ALL grain, sugar, starch, and seed/vegetable oil. I eat only meat and its fat, fish, dairy, eggs, green veg, low glycemic fruit, monounsaturated oils, and nuts. After I detoxed from carbs, I became fat adapted. Now I eat to satiety and never experience hunger or cravings unless my body actually needs nourishment. I’ve dropped 80lbs of fat. My blood pressure has normalized. My doctor has taken me off statins and blood pressure meds. I no longer need reflux meds. I haven’t healed because I lost weight; I’ve lost weight because I’ve healed. Don’t tell me carbs are not addictive. I know better.
I started on Carnivore on November 27, 2023. My blood glucose constantly exceeded 18.3. Today, December 28, 2023, it tested at just 5.6!! 🥩 2:50 am. OMAD followed naturally, I just don't want to eat for a day after a small steak or leg of lamb chop. I also lost >5kg over this month. Feel healthy again. Beautiful yellow morning urine. I sleep well, no leg cramps, no restless legs. No insomnia.
I met Tim in about 2010 in Durban just before the trials attempted to silence him. Fantastic guy without a selfish bone in his body IMHO. Humble and knowledgeable.
What he and a handful of others have managed to do is amazing for human suffering and health. I would put him forward for a Nobel prize!
I've never met the guy probably never will but I agree with you 110%, Tim Noakes is a fantastic human being
His lack of understanding of human Biochemistry is STAGGERING.

Let's just say that your unsubstantiated anonymous allegations are noted for what they are.
I was watching a video about a woman who was captured by the Souix In 1864. She said their diet was almost exclusively meat and they may fast one day and eat meat frequently all the next day. They skinned bison so completely it looked like the bone had been boiled. They dried the meat immediately and it was hung and dried covered with dirt and dung.
and they lived to a ripe old age of 52
@@evanlouis8853 let’s say they lived to 52, if we now live to 82 does that mean we are healthier?
@@evanlouis8853 Your statistics mean nothing in this context. People died of infectious diseases and there were wars through the entire 19th century. Infant mortality was high for everyone. So you need to give exact context to your number or it means nothing overall.
In NZ without a restricted hunting season Hunters who are out in the cold, and wet while sleeping regularly on hard ground for years get arthritis. That's Indians for you.
@@evanlouis8853 Americans were extremely racist towards them!you’ve been lied to yo they lived longer lives than most nationaalties
Prof Noakes's lifestyle enabled me to lose 24kg's and for the first time in my adult life I'm at my goal-weight! I mainly eat ground beef, eggs, ostrich meat, some butter and take no medications or supplements. I only eat one meal a day. Great discussion!
for how long have you been doing this? what blood tests have you done? I been doing it now since 21 of June... any advice? thanks
@@SimplicityForGood I can't even recall when last I visited a doctor or had any tests done and I'm 61yrs old. I rely on my body to give me signs. I'm 95% carnivore as I drink coffee with milk and have a chocolate once a week. My only advice if you are carnivore is to eat until you are full as it's easy in the beginning to eat too little. Perhaps start with 2 meals a day and see how you do. All the best to you!
@@marynamurray9385 thanks

I have to thank Thomas not because of good information but because of the information of saying it’s okay to eat or these different foods which started me getting cravings for more and more of foods that push you out of eating healthy. So thank you as it made me find carnivore and now it’s been a year and I felt great from the time I started and still do.
Good luck with cancer and gut issues later in life with 0 fibre. The all cause mortality studies are quite clear - those who eat less fibre, live far less.
These carnivore idiots who say "I've been eating it for 6 months and feel great". Think of it this way, my friend has been smoking for 6 months and feels great. So he's decided to smoke for much longer.
See the idiotic, lack of logic of your carnivore nonsense?
Don't get your advice from Thomas, he couldn't he even tell you how water boils.
Go find a highly qualified nutritionist and ask them if you should eliminate fibre. You won't find one who would say yes, if they paid attention in their health science lectures.
Some people can moderate their carbs intake but for others any carbs trigger their addiction.
I like how the conversation is about not needing carbs and Dr. Noakes starts off his day with a biscuit! ha! Such great information here - really enjoyed this interview!
And sweet potatoes.
He didn’t say the type of biscuit or how large. And paleo people eat sweet potatoes. Lots of assumptions here.
He is a low carb advocate, not zero carb.
I'm almost no carb most of the time but every once in a while I'll have a bisque with cheese egg and bacon 😋
I make myself a low carb loaf with almond flour and whey protein powder and olive oil. I need something to spread my butter on!
Thank you for interviewing this man. It's about time someone started trying to put nutrition into medicine.
Dr Stephen phinney has been putting science into low carb for nearly 40 years, Tim is a fairly new low carb disciple.
Have you ever ate a bunch of carbs or sugar and you feel like hell, shaking, etc? When did did that ever happen eating a bunch of fat? Exactly
You guys Aced it! I did a low carb keto diet for 6 years after being 16.5 stone. I dropped to 12.5 stone. I have returned on a carb diet for 2 years now and weight has maintained, I reversed my dads type 2 diabetes with it. You describe a problem I had with training with carb creep in the morning, or morning dawn phenomenon. I only get it when lifting weights. Tried 3 times to solve it without effect. Basically Morning fasted Glucose is too high then I eat fat and it drops. But the longer I do this the higher it goes. I did find a video on Stephen Phinney saying he only knows to refeed which I have and it fixes it but as soon as you start ketosis again you are fine but if you train you get close to getting knocked out of ketosis in the morning. It is self repeating and I am curious if you solved it?
I tried MCT oil before training, did not work, tried MCT with 50gram of glucose before training, did not work!
Also regarding saturated fat you will be happy to know that it cant enter the blood stream when in ketosis! And in my opinion your blood lipids will go higher and not lower, but it is all the protective ones so total cholesterol means nothing!
If you want my DATA I have recorded and will share!
Good job!
On another note I also am starting to believe that cycling between glucose and ketones might have more benefit. EG. Ketones increase mitochondria and the reap the results with limited carbs then switch back!
Whoever told you saturated fat cannot enter the bloodstream in ketosis, is lying to you. This is utter nonsense.
If it could not, you would not function. This is probably the stupid comment I've read today. Maybe even this week.
You store way more fat during ketosis, but you also burn more fat.
You store less fat when using a balanced diet. But also burn less.
It's all balance. What will ALWAYS matter is energy ingestion vs energy expenditure.
Also, if you have heart disease in the genes, you have to stay away from sat fat like the plague.
Each person is different but the all cause mortality studies are quote clear, saturated fat is not great when over consumed for CVD.
Ketosis should only really be considered for those wanting to reverse type 2 diabetes, type 1 diabetes and those looking to improve HBA1C markers. Simple.
@@randypanthegoatboy2 If you said was true then the mummies of Egypt which have been studied in the thousands would not show a tremendous amount of Cardiovascular disease. The Egyptians were known as etophigoi, the bread eaters. They all had dental caries and all had diseases of high levels of estrogen. Most men had gynocomastia. At some point the carbs catch up to you and they are the cause of heart disease. Not the saturated fats. The ancestors who were hypercarnivores eating huge amounts of meat and huge amounts of fat did not have heart disease. Anthropologists are clear on this. But seems like most people, MDs included, are ignorant of the latest conclusions by anthropologists.
@@randypanthegoatboy2 you’re talking about biased epidemiology or observational studies. Controlled studies (and biochemical logic) tell us that saturated fat doesn’t oxidize and is the body’s preferred energy source. Only saturated fats made from carbs (blood triglycerides) are dangerous as far as CVD.
@@randypanthegoatboy2 we lived off saturated fats for hundreds of thousands of years….and suddenly in the past few decades it started causing heart disease? Heart disease in America is inversely associated with saturated fat intake over the decades. Sat fat is absolutely NOT the problem. Observational studies suck….but they are good to ELIMINATE things. Since saturated fat intake has decreased to 1/3 what we ate 100 years ago and heart disease went through the roof during that time, tells us it’s not the issue. Saturated fat has decreased in the last 20 years yet the rate of CVD has doubled and diabetes rate increased by 4.5x!!!! This alone eliminates Sat fat as the cause. If anything it’s evidence it could be the cure.
Once upon a time I believed a vegan diet was healthy. My belief did not make it true.
Such an excellent interview. Wow Dr Noakes is the real deal 🙌🏼
Understanding that glucose is stored in the liver and then released when you try to go keto is so important to understand. Watching Dr. Boz I realized why even though I fasted for 5 days straight my glucose went UP for 4 of the 5 days. Sardines made a huge difference to me.
whats with the sardines?
Yeah what's with the sardines haha that's a random thing to throw in there :P
I've heard of the sardine fast. I think that's what he means. No other food. Just water, supplements/vitamins, and sardines.
Sardines are magic. I have been carnivore 160 days hardly lost a pound every 2 weeks did the sardine fast 3 days lost 4.4 pounds felt amazing. Mimic autophagy. Dr. Boz sardine challenge

@@dianasolfest7237 I had thyroid cancer stage 3 with lymph nodes affected too, did 2 surgeries and RAI. Had massive side effects and RAI just provoked more cancer in me. I denied a 2nd round of RAI and did less than 5% keto for 3 months. Didn’t have cancer again after that.
