Excellent interview! I am a type 2 diabetic and my doctor and his nurses gave me wrong information for years. They said carbs were necessary every day! I figured out that was false on my own years ago and I reversed my diabetes without their help. Everything you said should be mainstream knowledge by now but many doctors won’t change.
You eating carbs is crucial for maintenance of your doctors wallet and well being. Their goal is to have a repeat customer for life. If everyone only went to doctors when they break a bone or some serious condition arises how would they make money. They always treat the symptom and never the underlaying cause. Only doctors I trust are ex-doctors who gave up their licences and went against the establishment.
The major problem we have, is supermarket food. Until supermarkets came into being we didn't have food at hand all over the place. We had to cook it when we got home. Now, it's instant everywhere.
Food being instant everywhere gives you more time to work, which increases your credit score, which lets house prices grow higher, which... it's a one way ticket. Not so easy to undo in a world run by greed.
I wish I could turn back time and respond to what the nurses told my son when he was diagnosed at age 13 with T1D! I had the same experience, she told him, "you can eat anything." Thankfully, he's managing well at age 29❤
I can totally relate to dentist visits and constant fillings!!! Since carnivorish I’ve had no issues!! My dentist told me if you do have sugar to rinse your mouth it makes a difference.
I went carnivore for various health reasons including arthritis. It's cured all those things and now also reversing my retinitis pigmentosa vision impairment.
Whole foods and making your own dips-sauces-dressings is the way to go, but I will eat carbs in whole foods from small amounts of veg-fruit with my meat or poultry
Despite being told 🙄 dietary adjustments would have minimal effect, I took proactive steps and radically altered my diet, achieving remarkable remission from Hashimoto's 🙏🏻
@@Crash-Rest-YummyFollowing a Carnivore diet and supplementation (Lugol's Solution 2%, Selenium, Metyl B Complex, electrolytes, ALA, Inisitol, NAC, Milk Thistle, Zinc, Copper, Chromium...) has yielded exceptional results for me at 46. Both Hashimoto's and perimenopause symptoms have disappeared. Whenever I attempt to incorporate vegetables into my diet, my symptoms consistently reappear. I've found weighted walks (6+ miles) and weightlifting suit me best, while other activities impact cortisol and blood sugar.
@@Sandra.Viewer Thanks for the kind reply, i struggle with constipation once in a while on carnivore, it gets resolved in the end but there is that :D I also had it before going carnivore so carnivore didn't cause it, the slow thyroid slowed everything down is my guess.
My life was better by a million going carnivore, then I tried going to keto for variety, wound up going all the way back to sugar white flour etc now I feel like crap again! Still kept most weight off but all my pain is back
@@yummymealsss I have been on oxys for a decade with DDD, herniated discs and chronic back pain. I discovered that fasting for 10 days made me pain free. Then as I introduced food back my pain came back. I discovered that carnivore way of eating causes no problems. My pain 100% comes back with regular carbs specially from fibrous vegetables. I can eat simple carbs from rice and potatoes for a day or two but, anything longer and not only does pain come back but, my joints get so inflamed that I cant even close my fist. Also, not eating carbs, all my seasonal allergies are gone and they come back one week after eating carbs. Carnivore is not a solution for everyone but, it's definitely a solution for many.
@@yummymealsss you would be wise to understand the link between the over stimulation of a normal protein called zonulin and how that alters our tight junctions, this leads to unwanted peptides, foreign proteins and bacteria entering the body and activating the immune system. It is widely understood to be behind pain and autoimmune conditions. Carbohydrates in general contain the stimuli that triggers excessive zonulin release. Stop all carbohydrates as a self experiment and see for yourself.
We should eat three meals a day., meals spaced out, and proper food combining. Never overeat especially if you. know you are going to bed. Stick to wholefoods and avoid ultra processed foods.
After trying every diet, from vegetarian, Mediterranean, low fodmaps, exclusion diet, keto, etc, to try and help my Crohn's and other autoimmune conditions. Eventually I discovered carnivore, and though sceptical, gave it a go. To my utter amazement, within 24 hours all my asthma symptoms disappeared along with indigestion, acid reflux, restless legs, bloating, bleeding gums on brushing, etc etc. Every time I've tried to add a carb back in, my asthma and indigestion drive me to go back to carnivore. Basically, my body says 'No!' to carbs.
Choose wisely, listen to your body and discard what doesn't suit you, in my case it's carbs and 99% vegetables and fruits..my body mostly likes animal products..it's not my fault..
Many people trying to do keto make the mistake of eating too many dry, lean meats like chicken breast. Yeah, that's not good. On the plus side, the higher fat meats like 70/30 ground beef usually has a lower price. And you can even get fat trimmings from the butcher for next to nothing, if not free.
@@gungho1284 most people wanna lose weight so lean meats is good for that but after that and you wanna maintain weight its better to switch over to fatter meat I think
How long does it take to become fat adapted? Because for me… I have been low carb for year now. And when I eat 50/50 fat/carb… I have diarrhea next day. I love fat and want to eat more of it but my body just doesn’t adjust and it’s been a year
@@marietheresa1709 don't eat fat and carbs in one meal please! Look that up! It's a desaster for your body. Eat either only fat OR if you must carbs - but not combined! You will be stuck in the nomans land and never get fat adapted. That takes about three month on less than 20 grams of carbs per day. th-cam.com/video/OlsjnLMANDQ/w-d-xo.html for reference
@@marietheresa1709I think you're misunderstanding.... A low carb diet would be 50 grams or less per day, and optimally 20 gr or less. The rest is protein and fats. Look into keto or carnivore videos. If you're eating half carbs and half fat, you're cruising towards major health issues!
@ no I have been eating less carbs than that… it’s just that I think I tolerate protein more then fat. But every time I want to eat more fat with my protein I get diarrhea. I eat very little carbs. I have been doing for over a year now.
Carbs are bad because they are often cooked in seed oils. Humans have eaten carbs along with meat for at least 10,000 years. The modern vegetable and fruits are the the same food we ate 100 years ago. Ultra-processed foods and seed oils should be avoided.
you haven't heard of RoundUp and how almost all vegetables are sprayed with it, some farmerworkers even got cancer from inhaling it when they worked in the fields.
Carbs are bad because they cause glycation and excess glycation leads to advanced glycation end products which is the hallmark of aging. Carbs are also not required in the human diet.
Wild plants are completely different than farmed ones, everyone knows this. Also ancestral fruits were smaller and full of seeds, they contained more fiber and less carbs. Nowadays you can find bananas that are unnaturally huge and they spike your glucose as much as chocolate. The glucometer doesn't lie.
Not true our fruits and veggies are NOTHING like what people ate years ago. There has been so much hybridization - so many changes to cell structure of everything we eat that our bodies can't cope. They call it GMO now - but hybreeding food has been happening food years to make things look more appealing to the consumer. Then add in chemical spraying, severely depleted soil, the micro plastics they find - even in the air and soil. The toxicity of the packaging our food comes in - plastic, foam and even those grocery store plastic bags we put our fruit and veggies in. They recently filed a research paper on forever chemicals in the plastic bags we all buy at the store to store our food in and Ziploc was the only bag that didn't have PFAs. Plus - a good portion of our fruits and veggies are imported from other countries and FDA doesnt keep tabs on their restrictions, if they even have any. Even supposed "organic" produce is questionable. We have slowly been poisoning ourselves since the 50s. That is when they introduced plastic storage containers. Before then everything was glass, paper, cardboard. They then found cheaper, more harmful, chemically made products to make other products cheaply. High fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, highly processed seed oils and the list goes on. Watch a movie called "Dark Waters" which is about the lawyer who fought Dupont about the chemicals it was using (originators of teflon - which is banned in Europe, by the way) and watch Erin Brockovich. Eye openers. It has sadly been all about the all mighty dollar.
Unfortunately, our fruits and veg are not the same as our ancestors ate. They have all been gradually bred to have higher and higher sugar levels in them so they taste better to the modern palate. They can be heavily contaminated with chemicals. Also, the bread our ancestors ate was so different to today's. It's been bred over the years to have many more times the levels of gluten so it rises better and is bouncier. However, the gut hates this level of gluten.
I met this woman diabetic married to another diabetic. One of them spiked really bad with rice but not beans, and the other spouse was the opposite. I joked that at least between the two of them they could eat Mexican food together. :-)
There's gluten in so many products, in trace amounts, that can cause a reaction in some very sensitive coeliacs. You can't dismiss gluten-free as the latest food-fad. Coeliac is under-diagnosed and can have serious consequences, such as malabsorption of nutrients, such as B12. And unfortunately, some supplements also contain gluten. in trace amounts, that can cause a reaction in some very sensitive coeliacs. You can't dismiss gluten-free as the latest food-fad.
When I do intermittent fasting 20-4, 18-6 or OMAD with low carb, I fell healthier have more energy and slim down and slowly lose weight over time. However, with low or no carb I feel cold all the time. Can some offer advise?
I haven't experienced it myself, but the only thing I can think of would be a mineral deficiency. Probably potassium or magnesium. I would try supplementing either (nu salt and magnesium citrate powder are easy to get). Give it a shot and see if it helps. If so, maybe change meat sources. You can try a meat delivery service for example. (Butcher box is good)
In some countries, strawberries are only legally allowed to be called organic if they grow on ground (not for example in hanging baskets) - which is a real nuisance for organic farmers (and their already strained backs)
I run 6 times a week and burn the carbs I eat. Otherwise I am not naturally attracted by carbs but I need them to fuel my intense running. And many Asians eat rice every day and are perfectly healthy well into their nineties and over
Amen. I run in the morning (5.35-5.75 miles) while still fasting, and don’t have issues because I’m fat adapted and do consume enough carbs to fuel my level of activity. Those who embrace zero cardbs are usually sedentary folks who aren’t necessarily healthy (overall) since diet alone is not the recipe to prevent disease. Exercise and carbs ALWAYS beats no exercise and no carbs. Recipe for health (for most of us) is some intermittent fasting, HIT, calisthenics, mild strength training, walking or hiking. I’m 60 and speak from a life of experience and “walking the talk.” Consistency is the key as is everything in moderation, even moderation.
I’m a fat adapted runner and I perform very well with no carbs even when it comes to high intensity. Don’t be fooled by Asians, there is a lot of obesity and diabetes there. What you mention used to be true to a degree because they were much poorer before and eat less overall. So, it’s the overconsumption of bad food which affects Asians as much as anyone else.
Asians are NOT healthy people keep saying that but Ive lived with many housemates from mainland China, a large part of the diet is white flour for dumplings, noodles, steamed bread etc, white rice and monosodium glutamate powder. Many especially older ones suffer from inflammation of joints and they dont make the connection
Well I don't agree with you. Yes overconsumption of carbs can lead to diabetes and obesity. But I know Vietnam pretty well and people are slim ,eat lots of vegetables, fish and healthy food, and yes they enjoy rice on a daily basis, and they dont have any problem. In America most people have junk food while a tiny minority are obsessed with not eating carbs at all which is wrong in the long term
Low carb was used already on the 18-hundreds in UK and France for children. Type one and/or type 2 diabetes was not separable but type two was very rare. This treatment did help but without insulin it was still just a matter of time, but kids (and parents) that followed insstructions at least got quite a few more year and better life quality during the time. The doctor that started this knew quite a bit of carbs and what food had it and was going for real low carb.
The energy your getting “differently” isnt the optimal pathway and has its own harm like the build up of ammonia and endotoxins. Theres a reason why our body makes carbs its because its optimal and vital to our health
There is no build up of toxins or ammonia from eating meat. I did carnivore for a year and was in the best health of my life. I only went back because I missed sweet and crunchy tastes, but it's not worth it. I'm thinking of going on it again soon.
@@cynicist8114the process of creating glucose from from proteins leaves a by product called ammonia, im just reiterating information ive come across but maybe theyre nuances to how much ammonia can be developed and or how its able to be cleared out which i can see being highly individualized.
@@cynicist8114the endo toxins come from eating so much protein that it doesnt fully digest in the upper intestines and creates the endo toxins in the lower intestines which create gut issues inflammation insulin resistance and a cascade of issues
@@ManjiMachine Your body preferentially creates glucose from fat. (ketones for most of the body, but glucose for the organs that require it) That's why we have such large stores of fat on our bodies. It can as a last resort create glucose from protein, but you would be near starvation by that time.
@@cynicist8114 The body's ability to convert fat to glucose is inefficient, so you lose energy in the process. Also, breaking down fat to make glucose can lead to muscle loss because your body will break down protein tissues to make glucose- copy and pasted from google ai

This very important what you said. All humans dont have the same diet. Just like all birds dont eat the same. Some birds eat fruits only others eat dead rotten flesh.
@25:30 "if I go for coffee and they sometimes give me a biscuit"... I either give it away or throw it straight in the garbage. 🤷♂️ For some of us, even one biscuit leads to further cravings. You wouldn't give "just one drink" to an alcoholic, would you? Your mileage may vary. Just saying. 😉✌️
Never been more healthy than doing high fat carnivore. Even a balanced whole foods diet made me insanely sick. I just got rid of all plants and it made everything better, even things I thought was normal like periods cramps. I don't have insomnia anymore, no acne, I look like an athlete at 35 without training, I no longer have brain fog and fatigue, no more inflammation which is a big one for me. My teeth are white and perfect, without brushing. I no longer need to wash my hair, it just doesn't get oily anymore. And my girlfriend fixed her lifelong digestive issue by no longer eating vegetables and she finally gained healthy weight after being underweight all her life, and it fixed her eating disorder.
i've done a year now and have never felt better , still drink and have caffeine tho so i might try to ditch that in jan and see how long i can last going without after jan
Consistent 3 or 4 on the Bristol Scale, unless I eat too much cheese, or have not been keeping up with hydration. Low carb since 2019, carnivore since February 2024. The first couple of weeks, farts were not to be trusted, now I almost never have to fart.
I believe a lot of health issues are caused by toxins in our food, air & water. Our ancestors ate all food groups, w/o pesticides, additives, flavors & other chems. Food came from now he fields, fresh & homemade. Most ate meat & fat first, then some carbs & dessert after. They worked off a lot too. If going Keto or low carb in today’s world, luckily, there are plenty of online recipes for bread & even desserts using almond or coconut flour & alternative sweeteners that will not substantially raise blood sugar. And, many have lost weight too...
It takes some time to become fully fat adapted. I've been low carb since late 2019, carnivore since February 2024, and at 56 with an active job doing HVAC/R work I can go all day at work with no breaks or lunch. Actually annoys the crap out of younger coworkers when we are working together on something.🤣 After work I do 20-30 minutes of jump rope and/or body weight exercises before eating, at least on days where I didn't work late.
Im whole foods plant based now and my health couldnt be better stuff the carnivore diet dod that and it restricted my variety Variety is the key for a happy gut but i dont get it from refind sugar and anomals products
Exercise/weight training to build muscle combined with eating sufficient protein might help to put on weight. I’m a thin person and was slightly concerned when I lost weight on keto. But I’m fairly sure it was inside (visceral) fat I lost because my waist size decreased. It is widely thought that visceral fat is dangerous/inflammatory so I’m happy that it’s gone.
@ thanks I need to put weight on over all but when I do it goes straight to my stomach🙈 and my limbs are super skinny. I’m almost under weights it’s is confusing. I sadly can’t lift weights because of long covid but I’m gong to try Pilates to strength deep muscle and try again.
@@sherylmarshall1444 Pilates sounds like a good plan. Tai chi may be useful too. You can do a lot with your body without weights. You definitely don’t want to put on the kind of weight that appears on your stomach. That’s just fat. It takes time and consistency but skeletal muscle is life saving. Good luck!
@@martin-ds5do yes thanks I believe and hope doing yoga then Pilates then move to weights will do the trick. I don’t have lots of weight but it’s the only place it goes sadly. My weight is only 8 stone 112/113 lbs and my waist is 30/31inches. Wrists , ankles, knees and elbows all skin and bones. I was underweight for a time. I think my body got messed up. I definitely lost musics mass and I think that’s my problem I hardly have any muscle and that affects the body in a bad way. But I will work at it and be patent. Doesn’t help I’m a 41 year old woman.
@@sherylmarshall1444 losing muscle mass (which happens all too easily with overdoing calorie restriction when trying to lose weight) is serious and can be very costly to a person in later life. But you have plenty of time still. Patience yes and also consistency are required. One can do calisthenics at home with minimum equipment. I’ve made a huge difference to my chronic back problems through calisthenics by improving my core strength. Also by regular walking. And having some great physiotherapists to advise me over the years. There are loads of programs online.
The problem in the Westernised societies and very liikely beyond, not only are people eating too frequently, the wrong food, and the wrong food combinations. What was seen as. food for special occasion is available twelve months of the year. What is meant to be eaten in season is available all year round. Too many people are making lifestyle choices that trigger lifestyle illnesses. Be very cautious of carbohydrates, even if they look tempting to eat.
Thank you both very much 💖🌌🕊, a huge package of important information that official nutritionists won't tell you. They and doctors are not taught these things because the pharmaceutical industry always just wants more money.
If humans don't need carbohydrates would that be from birth ! Or say after puberty when we've reached adulthood !. Also are there circumstances were they could or would be advantageous ?... what about factors ... sedentary lifestyle or highly physically active 🤔 Gebetics , age, etc does anyone know the science on this 🤔 real whole foods complex Carbohydrates vs ultra processed junk carbs .. does anyone know of a peer reviewed study showing any adverse health effects from a diet of Complex Carbohydrates from whole real foods 🤔 thanks 😊
Carbs from things like sweet potatoes, cabbage, butternut squash, chickpeas etc are good. From grains and sugar disease causing and mixed with fats a death sentence. High fat without grainn no s and sugar is healthy. As for needing carbs from birth babies should have a very high concentration of nutritious fats. Ancestrally sugar and grains was not available.
@@11kwright There are no carbohydrates that are "good" or necessary. Sweet potatoes will definitely spike your glucose unless you eat like 50 grams but what's the point then? You might as well not eat them. Chickpeas are very high in carbs, be careful. When in doubt, test your glucose one hour after a meal. Glucose becomes toxic for the body above 140mg/dL (glucose spikes also spike your insulin which makes you insulin resistant and interrupts lipolysis and ketogenesis).
@andyc7747 I understand this. This carbohydrates from food are not essential because protein can be broken down into sugar as required...although this is correct, im not sure as to say every human on the planet from Birth should be given only fat and protein 😉 this blanket statement would have to do studied and understood further. First off our ancestors ate mainly animal nutrition with some anything else they could get, they didn't eat processed foods, but this meat based diet was in the context of feast and fast, that made a big difference...zero carbohydrates means a mainly meat based diet 🤔... is this 7 days a week with 3 guaranteed meals and never fasting....our ancestors ate a wild muscular animal that roamed free, a lower fat and more muscle from what I've read....eating throughout the day, never hungry 7 days a week, 365 days a year going into gluconeogenesis breaking down protein 7 days a week, this is not good lo g term, the additional fasting can make it work , but it eating 365 days a year without ever taking a rest from digesting food....
@andyc7747 im trying to find out on the Internet why Mother Nature would give us the following starch and sugar foods - fruits n Berries in season, potatoes and other starch foods, Bees producing Honey 🍯 etc ....documentaries on remote amazon tribes show them eating whatever they can find or hunt , in survival terms carbohydrates can be seen as important as protein and fat in terms of calories for survival as they don't have any supermarkets in the jungle and they are not guaranteed food the following day 🤔 ... it seems when we are in a safe environment surrounded by guaranteed amounts of meat and fat from local supermarkets, Butchers etc then we can do without carbohydrates...when hunting and gathering in the wild for survival then carbohydrates become just as important , because your concern is sufficient foods / calories...its like if remote tribes adopted a Vegan approach to survival they would pretty quickly starve and be wiped out of the Gene pool as several thousand calories per day 365 days a year from plants and fruits are highly unlikely
I am vegan. I became diabetic a few months ago. (I am 70.)Now I have cut out white rice, potatoes and pasta. Also sugar. I was a terrible junk food vegan. I am fat! LOL. I'll see what happens in a few months. I became vegan for ethical reasons, so hearing about eating animals puts me off. OH... the first world problems I have!😁
The purpose of being vegan is not to eat pasta and lots of rice and other starch related carbs. Carbs in bean and lentil or peas etc are fine. Everything in moderation 😂
@@meh9356 I understand. I have been vegetarian for 20 years, and vegan for another 13. I didn't use it as an excuse to eat crap. It just happened as I lost interest in cooking, etc.
Carnivore is the easiest and cheapest way to eat/cook. Steak in the air fryer for 12 minutes. Done ✅ I eat for 100$ per week.

Fact is, protein and fat are the only ESSENTIAL macronutrients. Carbs are for energy. That's it. It depends on your lifestyle. If you sit all day, you don't need carbs, or you can eat a minimal amount. If you're an Olympic athlete, you most likely will need a good amount of carbs.

Stop this bs now everybody now are experts in dietology, carbs ar essential, primal energy source. Yes body can use ketones for energy but it's just dumb, don't overeat that's all check your bloowdork and eat carbs people.
"Essential" in nutrition means you must eat it because you can't make it yourself. Your body will make glucose if it needs to - that's why it's not considered "essential" by the way the word is used in this context.
Not eating carbs alone is nog a problem. The problem is to compensate lost calories - if you're going to do that using fatty food you're probably gonna eat more protein which is bad for your kidneys.
"You don't need carbs". She doesn't seem to know what we eat in the Mediterranean area or in Japan 😂. My 2 grandmothers died 104 and 97 eating lots of complex carbs and red wine. No process foods though. She's not even a MD
Surviving is one thing, thriving is another. You can survive eating carbs, but it's not optimal or natural. Pasta and rice have never existed for millions of years.
If there are people who should have the credibility and the authority to talk about correct diet, it would be those living in blue zones. Do they avoid carbs? No.
The blue zones are manipulated to be something they’re not. When you talk to someone who has ACTUALLY visited every blue zone and lived in many of them (Mary Ruddick), do they avoid carbs? No, but most of them eat very meat or fish heavy. It is dependent upon where they live and what is around. And Hong Kong, which isn’t part of the blue zones, the people are the longest lived AND eat the most meat of anywhere else. Many people have conditions that aren’t fully helped or healed unless they go carnivore, so each person has to determine what works best for them. But do we need carbs from an external source for survival? No, we do not. It is the only macronutrient not needed from food. A
On a carnivore diet how is the smell in the bathroom? I mean, it is alot of dead animal flesh imprinted with maximum fear as they go for slaughter. Was just wondering! ? Not judging anyone! ❤
I have found the opposite to be true,I was insulin resistant, pre diabetic and fatty liver, I cut out all cards and sugar and lost 20kg,reversed all my issues and have never felt better,keeping the weight off,all my blood work is now within range,can't do better than that in 12months
What rubbish about carbs. What they are saying is true. If people focused on non carb foods and no or low sugar we would not have the explosion of the T2 diabetes cases we have.
@@yummymealsss Not many of us have been doing it for more than thirty years. I'm seventy-three and very well thank you.

I am however waiting to see a vegan survive to a century. This I don't believe will ever happen.

Not sure that’s true for everyone. I was strict vegan for 6 years and my blood sugar was pre-diabetic. Now on high fat carnivore and my blood sugar is consistently way down, including fasting glucose upon waking
Type 2 diabetes is high blood sugar. The most effective diet is a low sugar and low carb diet. Fat and protein are the ONLY essential nutrients for humans. There are no essential carbohydrates. Our body makes the sugar we need from protein and fats. Vegan doesn’t provide all the nutrients we need without supplementation. And vegan diet is predominantly carbs, which are all digested as sugar.
No, the vegan diet is unnatural and you don't get essential B vitamins from meat, whole grain will definitely spike your glucose, and fat is very good to prevent and manage diabetes, because it has no impact on blood glucose levels.
There is nothing wrong with processing food. The problem is that, for almost all processed food, the goal of processing is not to make good food the goal is to maximize profits for the processor. A good example of good (or at least *not* particularly bad) processing is the latest formulations of beyond meat which contain significant nutrients and utilize MUFAs as fat. I have no issues consuming the lastest formulations of beyond meat. The key point is it isn't the processing itself that is the issue it is *why* it is being processed and that drives *what* they do to the food and for 99% of the processed foods, the "why" is maximize profits and the "what" is "added sugars, polyunsaturated fats and preservatives"
If you trust Bill Gates I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done. The proponents of veganism want us sick (yes including governments and corporations). The same people that told you to take the clot shot are advocating a plant based diet. Tells you all you need to know. I was vegan for 6 years and used to eat vegan jerky sometimes from the supermarket. Normal beef jerky would have less than 1g of carbs per 100g. One day I noticed the vegan jerky had 50g of carbs per hundred grams. Similar to a chocolate bar. But to me I felt like I’d only eaten a piece of jerky but it would have sent my blood sugar sky high. Maximising profits is not the key driver. Keeping us sick is then they make a lot more money out of us down the track in medical procedures, pharmaceuticals etc
All these people talking about don’t eat this or that. Eat this or that. Everyone’s metabolism is different so they need to be careful about what message they send out to people. Some people are very okay with carbs and some with proteins. Some people even need both of these to live without which they’ll be dead. Please be mindful what your message is. Thanks

Food being instant everywhere gives you more time to work, which increases your credit score, which lets house prices grow higher, which... it's a one way ticket. Not so easy to undo in a world run by greed.
I wish I could turn back time and respond to what the nurses told my son when he was diagnosed at age 13 with T1D! I had the same experience, she told him, "you can eat anything." Thankfully, he's managing well at age 29❤
Great that your son is managing his T1D well 💪
I can totally relate to dentist visits and constant fillings!!! Since carnivorish I’ve had no issues!! My dentist told me if you do have sugar to rinse your mouth it makes a difference.
I'm 4 months carnivore and I already know I'm not going back on carbs ever 😊
I said that too but life happens 6 months later, I had issues.
I went carnivore for various health reasons including arthritis. It's cured all those things and now also reversing my retinitis pigmentosa vision impairment.
I've been Carnivore for 3 years and will never go back.

@@Crash-Rest-YummyFollowing a Carnivore diet and supplementation (Lugol's Solution 2%, Selenium, Metyl B Complex, electrolytes, ALA, Inisitol, NAC, Milk Thistle, Zinc, Copper, Chromium...) has yielded exceptional results for me at 46. Both Hashimoto's and perimenopause symptoms have disappeared. Whenever I attempt to incorporate vegetables into my diet, my symptoms consistently reappear. I've found weighted walks (6+ miles) and weightlifting suit me best, while other activities impact cortisol and blood sugar.
@@Sandra.Viewer Thanks for the kind reply, i struggle with constipation once in a while on carnivore, it gets resolved in the end but there is that :D
I also had it before going carnivore so carnivore didn't cause it, the slow thyroid slowed everything down is my guess.

Carb is crap
@@yummymealsss I have been on oxys for a decade with DDD, herniated discs and chronic back pain. I discovered that fasting for 10 days made me pain free. Then as I introduced food back my pain came back. I discovered that carnivore way of eating causes no problems. My pain 100% comes back with regular carbs specially from fibrous vegetables. I can eat simple carbs from rice and potatoes for a day or two but, anything longer and not only does pain come back but, my joints get so inflamed that I cant even close my fist. Also, not eating carbs, all my seasonal allergies are gone and they come back one week after eating carbs. Carnivore is not a solution for everyone but, it's definitely a solution for many.
@@yummymealsssit could.
@@yummymealsss you would be wise to understand the link between the over stimulation of a normal protein called zonulin and how that alters our tight junctions, this leads to unwanted peptides, foreign proteins and bacteria entering the body and activating the immune system. It is widely understood to be behind pain and autoimmune conditions. Carbohydrates in general contain the stimuli that triggers excessive zonulin release. Stop all carbohydrates as a self experiment and see for yourself.
We should eat three meals a day., meals spaced out, and proper food combining. Never overeat especially if you. know you are going to bed. Stick to wholefoods and avoid ultra processed foods.

@@marietheresa1709I think you're misunderstanding....
A low carb diet would be 50 grams or less per day, and optimally 20 gr or less. The rest is protein and fats. Look into keto or carnivore videos.

@ no I have been eating less carbs than that… it’s just that I think I tolerate protein more then fat. But every time I want to eat more fat with my protein I get diarrhea. I eat very little carbs. I have been doing for over a year now.

Carbs are bad because they are often cooked in seed oils. Humans have eaten carbs along with meat for at least 10,000 years. The modern vegetable and fruits are the the same food we ate 100 years ago. Ultra-processed foods and seed oils should be avoided.
you haven't heard of RoundUp and how almost all vegetables are sprayed with it, some farmerworkers even got cancer from inhaling it when they worked in the fields.
Carbs are bad because they cause glycation and excess glycation leads to advanced glycation end products which is the hallmark of aging. Carbs are also not required in the human diet.
Wild plants are completely different than farmed ones, everyone knows this. Also ancestral fruits were smaller and full of seeds, they contained more fiber and less carbs. Nowadays you can find bananas that are unnaturally huge and they spike your glucose as much as chocolate. The glucometer doesn't lie.
Not true our fruits and veggies are NOTHING like what people ate years ago. There has been so much hybridization - so many changes to cell structure of everything we eat that our bodies can't cope. They call it GMO now - but hybreeding food has been happening food years to make things look more appealing to the consumer. Then add in chemical spraying, severely depleted soil, the micro plastics they find - even in the air and soil. The toxicity of the packaging our food comes in - plastic, foam and even those grocery store plastic bags we put our fruit and veggies in. They recently filed a research paper on forever chemicals in the plastic bags we all buy at the store to store our food in and Ziploc was the only bag that didn't have PFAs. Plus - a good portion of our fruits and veggies are imported from other countries and FDA doesnt keep tabs on their restrictions, if they even have any. Even supposed "organic" produce is questionable.
We have slowly been poisoning ourselves since the 50s. That is when they introduced plastic storage containers. Before then everything was glass, paper, cardboard. They then found cheaper, more harmful, chemically made products to make other products cheaply. High fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, highly processed seed oils and the list goes on. Watch a movie called "Dark Waters" which is about the lawyer who fought Dupont about the chemicals it was using (originators of teflon - which is banned in Europe, by the way) and watch Erin Brockovich. Eye openers. It has sadly been all about the all mighty dollar.
Unfortunately, our fruits and veg are not the same as our ancestors ate. They have all been gradually bred to have higher and higher sugar levels in them so they taste better to the modern palate. They can be heavily contaminated with chemicals. Also, the bread our ancestors ate was so different to today's. It's been bred over the years to have many more times the levels of gluten so it rises better and is bouncier. However, the gut hates this level of gluten.
I met this woman diabetic married to another diabetic. One of them spiked really bad with rice but not beans, and the other spouse was the opposite. I joked that at least between the two of them they could eat Mexican food together. :-)

Thank you ☺
There's gluten in so many products, in trace amounts, that can cause a reaction in some very sensitive coeliacs. You can't dismiss gluten-free as the latest food-fad. Coeliac is under-diagnosed and can have serious consequences, such as malabsorption of nutrients, such as B12. And unfortunately, some supplements also contain gluten. in trace amounts, that can cause a reaction in some very sensitive coeliacs. You can't dismiss gluten-free as the latest food-fad.

When I do intermittent fasting 20-4, 18-6 or OMAD with low carb, I fell healthier have more energy and slim down and slowly lose weight over time. However, with low or no carb I feel cold all the time. Can some offer advise?
Cancer if get cold
I haven't experienced it myself, but the only thing I can think of would be a mineral deficiency. Probably potassium or magnesium.
I would try supplementing either (nu salt and magnesium citrate powder are easy to get).
Give it a shot and see if it helps. If so, maybe change meat sources. You can try a meat delivery service for example. (Butcher box is good)
In some countries, strawberries are only legally allowed to be called organic if they grow on ground (not for example in hanging baskets) - which is a real nuisance for organic farmers (and their already strained backs)
I run 6 times a week and burn the carbs I eat. Otherwise I am not naturally attracted by carbs but I need them to fuel my intense running.
And many Asians eat rice every day and are perfectly healthy well into their nineties and over
Amen. I run in the morning (5.35-5.75 miles) while still fasting, and don’t have issues because I’m fat adapted and do consume enough carbs to fuel my level of activity. Those who embrace zero cardbs are usually sedentary folks who aren’t necessarily healthy (overall) since diet alone is not the recipe to prevent disease. Exercise and carbs ALWAYS beats no exercise and no carbs. Recipe for health (for most of us) is some intermittent fasting, HIT, calisthenics, mild strength training, walking or hiking. I’m 60 and speak from a life of experience and “walking the talk.” Consistency is the key as is everything in moderation, even moderation.
I’m a fat adapted runner and I perform very well with no carbs even when it comes to high intensity. Don’t be fooled by Asians, there is a lot of obesity and diabetes there. What you mention used to be true to a degree because they were much poorer before and eat less overall. So, it’s the overconsumption of bad food which affects Asians as much as anyone else.
Asians are NOT healthy people keep saying that but Ive lived with many housemates from mainland China, a large part of the diet is white flour for dumplings, noodles, steamed bread etc, white rice and monosodium glutamate powder. Many especially older ones suffer from inflammation of joints and they dont make the connection
Well I don't agree with you.
Yes overconsumption of carbs can lead to diabetes and obesity.
But I know Vietnam pretty well and people are slim ,eat lots of vegetables, fish and healthy food, and yes they enjoy rice on a daily basis, and they dont have any problem.
In America most people have junk food while a tiny minority are obsessed with not eating carbs at all which is wrong in the long term

I missed her saying that. Was she making reference to oats being a lower glycemic food?
Correct. No grain is but obviously some are higher than others and affect people worse than others from a glycemic point of view.
The fact fructose being lower glycemic is the reason we should not use this metric in any serious way
they are!
Low carb was used already on the 18-hundreds in UK and France for children. Type one and/or type 2 diabetes was not separable but type two was very rare. This treatment did help but without insulin it was still just a matter of time, but kids (and parents) that followed insstructions at least got quite a few more year and better life quality during the time. The doctor that started this knew quite a bit of carbs and what food had it and was going for real low carb.
Low carb is not good enough. It had to be NO carb
Do you have a link to this please?
The energy your getting “differently” isnt the optimal pathway and has its own harm like the build up of ammonia and endotoxins. Theres a reason why our body makes carbs its because its optimal and vital to our health
There is no build up of toxins or ammonia from eating meat. I did carnivore for a year and was in the best health of my life.
I only went back because I missed sweet and crunchy tastes, but it's not worth it.
I'm thinking of going on it again soon.
@@cynicist8114the process of creating glucose from from proteins leaves a by product called ammonia, im just reiterating information ive come across but maybe theyre nuances to how much ammonia can be developed and or how its able to be cleared out which i can see being highly individualized.

The quickest way to become fat adaptive is intermittent fasting with regular exercise.
Never been more healthy than doing high fat carnivore. Even a balanced whole foods diet made me insanely sick. I just got rid of all plants and it made everything better, even things I thought was normal like periods cramps. I don't have insomnia anymore, no acne, I look like an athlete at 35 without training, I no longer have brain fog and fatigue, no more inflammation which is a big one for me. My teeth are white and perfect, without brushing. I no longer need to wash my hair, it just doesn't get oily anymore.

How to put on weight without carbs? I am eating low carb and keep loosing weight.
Exercise/weight training to build muscle combined with eating sufficient protein might help to put on weight. I’m a thin person and was slightly concerned when I lost weight on keto. But I’m fairly sure it was inside (visceral) fat I lost because my waist size decreased. It is widely thought that visceral fat is dangerous/inflammatory so I’m happy that it’s gone.

Carbs from things like sweet potatoes, cabbage, butternut squash, chickpeas etc are good. From grains and sugar disease causing and mixed with fats a death sentence. High fat without grainn no s and sugar is healthy. As for needing carbs from birth babies should have a very high concentration of nutritious fats. Ancestrally sugar and grains was not available.
@11kwright it appears carbohydrates are a problem in the presence of fat 🤔 like Fat would be an issue of sugar or starch were eaten with it...
@@11kwright There are no carbohydrates that are "good" or necessary. Sweet potatoes will definitely spike your glucose unless you eat like 50 grams but what's the point then? You might as well not eat them. Chickpeas are very high in carbs, be careful. When in doubt, test your glucose one hour after a meal. Glucose becomes toxic for the body above 140mg/dL (glucose spikes also spike your insulin which makes you insulin resistant and interrupts lipolysis and ketogenesis).
@andyc7747 I understand this. This carbohydrates from food are not essential because protein can be broken down into sugar as required...although this is correct, im not sure as to say every human on the planet from Birth should be given only fat and protein 😉 this blanket statement would have to do studied and understood further. First off our ancestors ate mainly animal nutrition with some anything else they could get, they didn't eat processed foods, but this meat based diet was in the context of feast and fast, that made a big difference...zero carbohydrates means a mainly meat based diet 🤔... is this 7 days a week with 3 guaranteed meals and never fasting....our ancestors ate a wild muscular animal that roamed free, a lower fat and more muscle from what I've read....eating throughout the day, never hungry 7 days a week, 365 days a year going into gluconeogenesis breaking down protein 7 days a week, this is not good lo g term, the additional fasting can make it work , but it eating 365 days a year without ever taking a rest from digesting food....
@andyc7747 im trying to find out on the Internet why Mother Nature would give us the following starch and sugar foods - fruits n Berries in season, potatoes and other starch foods, Bees producing Honey 🍯 etc ....documentaries on remote amazon tribes show them eating whatever they can find or hunt , in survival terms carbohydrates can be seen as important as protein and fat in terms of calories for survival as they don't have any supermarkets in the jungle and they are not guaranteed food the following day 🤔 ... it seems when we are in a safe environment surrounded by guaranteed amounts of meat and fat from local supermarkets, Butchers etc then we can do without carbohydrates...when hunting and gathering in the wild for survival then carbohydrates become just as important , because your concern is sufficient foods / calories...its like if remote tribes adopted a Vegan approach to survival they would pretty quickly starve and be wiped out of the Gene pool as several thousand calories per day 365 days a year from plants and fruits are highly unlikely

"Essential" in nutrition means you must eat it because you can't make it yourself. Your body will make glucose if it needs to - that's why it's not considered "essential" by the way the word is used in this context.
99% of calories from fat comes in suturated fat form in my diet !!!
Not eating carbs alone is nog a problem. The problem is to compensate lost calories - if you're going to do that using fatty food you're probably gonna eat more protein which is bad for your kidneys.
*We KNOW that we don't NEED carbs but its the damn Ghrelin & Dopamine that makes US crave it!!!!!* 😖
Cutting carbs very low made those cravings go away, for me (after a short adjustment period).
"You don't need carbs". She doesn't seem to know what we eat in the Mediterranean area or in Japan 😂. My 2 grandmothers died 104 and 97 eating lots of complex carbs and red wine. No process foods though. She's not even a MD
Mediterranean diet is a myth, it doesn't exist. and they were lucky.
Surviving is one thing, thriving is another. You can survive eating carbs, but it's not optimal or natural. Pasta and rice have never existed for millions of years.
Most MD’s have less than a day of nutritional training in med school. Being a doctor is no qualification for nutritional advice.
@@krirub8166 first my 2 grandmothers died perfectly autonomous in their homes. Second carbs are fruits and veggies not pasta and rice.
@theskyehiker I get your point but not being a Doctor is even worse...Nutrition is everything but a science, so anything goes.
If there are people who should have the credibility and the authority to talk about correct diet, it would be those living in blue zones. Do they avoid carbs? No.
The blue zones are manipulated to be something they’re not. When you talk to someone who has ACTUALLY visited every blue zone and lived in many of them (Mary Ruddick), do they avoid carbs? No, but most of them eat very meat or fish heavy. It is dependent upon where they live and what is around. And Hong Kong, which isn’t part of the blue zones, the people are the longest lived AND eat the most meat of anywhere else.
Many people have conditions that aren’t fully helped or healed unless they go carnivore, so each person has to determine what works best for them. But do we need carbs from an external source for survival? No, we do not. It is the only macronutrient not needed from food.
A
Propaganda people.
On a carnivore diet how is the smell in the bathroom? I mean, it is alot of dead animal flesh imprinted with maximum fear as they go for slaughter. Was just wondering! ? Not judging anyone! ❤
Insulin does not work less efficiently over time at all. Saturated fats cause insulin resistance. Carbohydrates make insulin work better
😅
I have found the opposite to be true,I was insulin resistant, pre diabetic and fatty liver, I cut out all cards and sugar and lost 20kg,reversed all my issues and have never felt better,keeping the weight off,all my blood work is now within range,can't do better than that in 12months
Carbs
Unscientific
Solution = Carnivore
Can't believe people are still proposing this rubbish about carbs
Thumb down
What rubbish about carbs. What they are saying is true. If people focused on non carb foods and no or low sugar we would not have the explosion of the T2 diabetes cases we have.
Until people try carnivore, they'll never know how good it is. I found out thirty-five years ago.
@@toni4729 Well tell us if it is so good why people who eating meat didn't reach over 100 year :)
@@yummymealsss Not many of us have been doing it for more than thirty years. I'm seventy-three and very well thank you. Back in the old days when people only ate meat, they had to put up with accidents and illness without medicines and help for broken bones so, people died quite young. I am however waiting to see a vegan survive to a century. This I don't believe will ever happen.
Do not do high protein 😊
Not Without fat…. Otherwise high protein is what we need, animal protein heals you
@meatloafhead the optimum amount of protein should actually be " Adequate " !! For each individual, which is neither low or high but rather whats best for the individual 🤔
@@Starchaser63 I meant most people don’t nearly eat enough protein, we should all have at least 1 gram per lb body weight is double what fda states… tho that’s easier said than done :-)
@meatloafhead so many variables to say everyone has 1 gm per pound ..... development stage Puberty rapid growth age 14 to 21 approx or 71 elderly ...or giant 6 foot 4 big boned mesomorph or 5 feet 9 skinny Ectomorph 🤔 sedentary desk job or highly active construction site / labourer or lumberjack etc ..medical conditions, kidney, liver, heart, problems, various metabolic health issues...etc etc .... protein ( Essential Amino Acids ) yes very important, yet so many obsessed with more more more , I need protein all day or ill become frail, weak and die within weeks...the average individual will do must fine getting enough protein from real whole foods...if however you feel inadequate or a bodybuilder, athletic individual then perhaps I can understand these individual being more concerned about protein...
Vegan diet is the best for diabetes. You can eat whole grain foods, legumes and vegetables. Fat is not good for diabetes
Not sure that’s true for everyone. I was strict vegan for 6 years and my blood sugar was pre-diabetic. Now on high fat carnivore and my blood sugar is consistently way down, including fasting glucose upon waking
Type 2 diabetes is high blood sugar.
The most effective diet is a low sugar and low carb diet.
Fat and protein are the ONLY essential nutrients for humans. There are no essential carbohydrates.
Our body makes the sugar we need from protein and fats.
Vegan doesn’t provide all the nutrients we need without supplementation.
And vegan diet is predominantly carbs, which are all digested as sugar.
No, the vegan diet is unnatural and you don't get essential B vitamins from meat, whole grain will definitely spike your glucose, and fat is very good to prevent and manage diabetes, because it has no impact on blood glucose levels.
Balance is the key you need all the macro nutrients.
There is nothing wrong with processing food. The problem is that, for almost all processed food, the goal of processing is not to make good food the goal is to maximize profits for the processor.
A good example of good (or at least *not* particularly bad) processing is the latest formulations of beyond meat which contain significant nutrients and utilize MUFAs as fat. I have no issues consuming the lastest formulations of beyond meat.
The key point is it isn't the processing itself that is the issue it is *why* it is being processed and that drives *what* they do to the food and for 99% of the processed foods, the "why" is maximize profits and the "what" is "added sugars, polyunsaturated fats and preservatives"
Beyond meat is not a healthy product
If you trust Bill Gates I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done. The proponents of veganism want us sick (yes including governments and corporations). The same people that told you to take the clot shot are advocating a plant based diet. Tells you all you need to know. I was vegan for 6 years and used to eat vegan jerky sometimes from the supermarket. Normal beef jerky would have less than 1g of carbs per 100g. One day I noticed the vegan jerky had 50g of carbs per hundred grams. Similar to a chocolate bar. But to me I felt like I’d only eaten a piece of jerky but it would have sent my blood sugar sky high. Maximising profits is not the key driver. Keeping us sick is then they make a lot more money out of us down the track in medical procedures, pharmaceuticals etc
You are absolutely deluded and have a conscience seared with a hot iron.
You know. All the time. Why ?
All these people talking about don’t eat this or that. Eat this or that. Everyone’s metabolism is different so they need to be careful about what message they send out to people. Some people are very okay with carbs and some with proteins. Some people even need both of these to live without which they’ll be dead. Please be mindful what your message is. Thanks
Yes, she did mention that.
