My fasting blood sugar used to be 105 mg/DL few months ago it rose to 116 mg/DL now it's 119 mg/DL so I would like to know how quickly can I get to to a range below of 100 mg/DL asap before it reaches diabetes range
Thanks Tom for the link. I clicked on the one for Thrive cause I was interested. Unfortunately they require you to start a membership just to view a menu. I'm not particularly interested in signing up just to see if they have what I want to buy at the price I am willing to pay for it. But that's just my opinion.
I was just talking about this with someone! I was wondering if trans fats are just hidden under a different name now, like how high fructose corn syrup has like 10+ different names now. Because people are reacting to the foods the same way as if theres trans fats, but the U.S claimed to have removed trans fats from all foods! So wtf lol, but there's still a ridiculous spike in fatty liver and insulin resistance despite "removing trans fats." I've decided it's just better to eat from nature and don't trust packages or labels at all. Of course there's still gmos, pesticides & whatever hormones or antibitoics they inject into the meats if you dont always have access or the funds for organic, grass fed, hormone free stuf, but just hope for the best since there's less of a toxic load from all the unidentifiable processed junk.
Those are risk factors that contribute indirectly to insulin resistance. Trans fats and saturated fats are prime contributors, acting in a direct fashion.
I cut out processed foods, use grass fed butter, coconut oil, olive oil and cut out cane sugar and switched to honey, maple sugar and coconut sugar. My blood sugar is not spiking like it did in the past. I was shocked! I wore a CGM to test all of this out. I also added pasta back into my diet but switched to organic imported Italian pasta and had a moderate amount with little to no impact on my blood sugar when I typically would have high blood sugar. Clean eating is the way to go!
I'm on a low glycemic "diet" and my CGM is my best tool for that. After not consuming processed foods and sugars for a while, I was able to rebalance my gut microbiome. However Honey is absolutely awesome! Any tips on how to order Italian pasta and olive oil?
Possibly the most overlooked problem is vegetable oil in general. Corn oil, soybean oil, and canola oil are highly inflammatory whether hydrogenated or not. Not only do they cause chronic diseases, but they contribute to insulin resistance.
Not really. Data doesn't show that. It's possible and indeed probable that reheating oils like they do in fast food joints is a problem, but adding good quality canola oil to a salad is not bad for you and no studies have show that it is.
@@DF-ee8vt Meta analysis of many studies show no danger with seed oils.

@@scottymackay1801 So seed oils are okay as long as we don't cook with them? It seems better to me to avoid them entirely. I would, however, have liked to see some data on the insulin resistance impact of saturated fats.
@@MorrisLess Meat is also okay, as long as you don't overcook/burn it which many do on the grill. All foods are 'bad' for you as soon as they start to brown when cooking. Oils are no different.
Being a 50s kid i have to say sugar was a mainstay in our diets. But things like margarine and crisco didn't come to market for awhile. Hardly anyone had diabetes and obesity was far far less than it is today. Fried foods were a treat not a regular part of my family diet. And I grew up on Wonder Bread!
Exactly, on my family the only overweight person with health issues is the one that won't use sugar. She use fake sugar, low fat product and whole grain cereals. I, like my grandparents, if I need sweetener I'll just use plane unrefined cane sugar, or honey, if I drink milk it's whole milk, and I'll use whatever meat I'm cooking fats as grease if I need to do something else on the pan. Ie eggs. I'm considered underweight, have no insulin problems and low bad cholesterol. My grandma lived to 100, and my grandpa is soon to be 91. And he still fully functional, walks a few miles every day, no health problems like cholesterol, blood pressure or sugar related. High Fructose Corn Syrup is far more damaging than any plane old sugar and I don't see people stressing over it when I'm doing my grocery shopping. I try to avoid it like the plage but the damn thing is in everything. I hope for one day to be banned.
That's what I always think, we grew up on breads, cereals and sweets as kids, it wasn't healthy, yet hardly anyone was obese or diabetic, but we didn't have subways, McDonald's, kfcs and pizza huts, coffee shops full of pastries and donuts on every corner. I believe these and the abundance of foods, particularly processed and restaurant/takeaways in our lifestyles is the cause of so many of the problems.
I quit eating out a year ago and went keto 5 years ago. I am so grateful I did because otherwise, I'd still be obese and have a whole host of other medical issues.
I rarely eat out myself. Most of the stuff out there is terrible for you. I live at the beach so I do go out for fresh seafood occasionally, but it's not fried. I'm glad to hear you are doing well. Keep it up!
@@angrytater2456 I agree, proccessed food is full of toxix and man made chemicals. Eww!! Awesome you live on the beach and have that access to whole foods. Enjoy
@@angrytater2456 cash argue with that! that's probably the best fried seafood, thx for the reminder. I'll order some next time I see them in the menu 🥑 🐟🐠
I dropped my A1C from 9.6 to 4.8 and lost 164 lbs doing intermittent fasting and Keto. I still eat 1500 to 2000 calories during my eating window. I eat around 100gm or fat per day.
@QueenShay2022 I couldn't do it more than 3 months because it screwed up my electrolytes so much I coudln't handle it. So I agree. And new studies confirm it. Mediterranean all the way - and more delicious
@@Twog78well first near no one can keep up a fast long term. Second keto is near unsustainable like every fad diet as it’s too limited. Third is fat actually is the driver of insulin resistance not sugars. Fourth there is no extremely long term data on keto minus Inuit which all have heart disease and early deaths. Just eating meat and fat isn’t as healthy as one thinks 😂
Thank you Thomas DeLauer! ❤ Have known that trans-fats are very unhealthy for years, but didn't know about the connection with insulin resistance. Thank you for sharing the study and reminding people how important it is to not eat anything with trans-fats.❤ Stopped eating all foods with trans-fats decade's ago. For fats, I use olive oil, ghee, coconut butter, MCT oil. All Organic. Ghee from grass-fed cows. No highly processed foods. Always check labels! The less ingredients, the better. The less processed, the better. Choose unrefined over refined. And avoid trans-fats like the plague!
Two more important protocols to prevent/clean up plaque. Keep inflammation at bay. Inflammation is important for infections. The immune system is doing what it's supposed to do. Inflammation can damage the blood vessel walls, which causes plaque to stick. Also, supplementation with K2 can clear out build up of plaque.
@@johnng4425Companies can legally have 0.5 grams of trans fats per serving and say 0 grams of trans fats on the nutrition label. So, they haven't been completely removed from the food supply.
One important note is that there are some natural trans fats that are healthy. One called CLA has been researched and shown to have benefits. It's usually in animal foods in small amounts. So no need to supplement it or worry about getting too much if you just eat whole foods. Artificial trans fats made in a lab are the problem. They have been greatly reduced in the food supply, but not completely eliminated.
I agree with this. I went from drinking maybe a half 2liter of soda a day and eating whatever(fast food and just non healthy stuff), not watching calories, while being pretty active, to drinking water only and eating once a day, typically a thick ribeye steak and a few happy egg organic free range eggs. Sometimes some oven baked wings(no spices or sauces). Didn’t necessarily watch calories, but I’d say it was somewhere under 1500 calories a day. I felt as full as the previous unhealthy diet. I lost about 40 lbs in 3 months. Not only that, I felt absolutely wonderful compared to how I used too. Definitely didn’t feel hungry like most people think will happen changing up a diet. The way I look at it is it’s just a matter of eating certain things you like and making sure to not eat other certain things you like. Drinking water only was the only uneasy thing but got used to that pretty fast. Faster than I could of imagined.
@@SkedgySky I kind of assumed I’d feel that way too or close before starting it. Whatever the exact science is behind it, that’s totally not the case at all. Get stuffed pretty easy and stay full. I have a couple buddies that done the same with the same results practically.
The soil microbiome that allows our crops absorb trace minerals such as copper, chromium, zinc, etc. gets eliminated by Glyphosate. Unfortunately, trace minerals deficiency as being the main cause of chronic diseases is being highly overlooked.
@@retsaMinnavoiG you underestimate anti-nutrients, ever seen a sick animal gorge themselves but still be sickly skinny because they're not getting enough nutrients? It's not pretty and yeah..basically can happen with humans too, we're not immune. These kind of bad foods are like literally eating parasites.
Yes well, I expect to get shot down in flames with my next comments. But I’ve been eating a well-balanced whole food plant based diet for several years now, and I’ve just started buying organic produce (After learning about what pesticides and herbicides do to the body). To go plant based, you really do need to understand nutrition, but I would say that most people, whatever their diet, are completely ignorant on the subject of nutrition. Anyway, I’ve never been as healthy as I have been these past few years. The additional great thing about going plant-based, is that it is so much better for the environment, so those of you with children might want to think about that.
I've been watching for over 40 years. Same/same. I take a more conspiratorial view, though. Most the things recommended as healthful when I was young have proven to be extremely harmful. If it was an accidental phenomenon, it would have been half/half.
That's the problem, you've been tracking an industry. Nutrition recommendations have only incrementally changed over the past 30 years or so. I have before me, govt. recommendations from 25 years ago. In summary: eat fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains more often, lean meats, lower fat dairy in limited amounts reduce sat. fat., legumes, nuts and seeds minimise salt and sugar goods. Water should be main beverage. Follow recommended portion sizes for foods, exercise at least 150 minutes a week. Activities (like raking leaves) add up over time, etc. Sensible advice that no one followed because it is cooler to follow fads.
@@Queef_Storm I am in Canada and never had the pyramid but rather Canada's Food Guide, and no it has not been proven wrong, there were some inaccuracies, but on the whole, it has generally has been shown to be effective as reduction of risk of major diseases. In Canada, a change about a decade ago was a shift to vegetables as a main source over carbohydrates as a main change. This does not mean other dietary patterns cannot be effective as compared to its recommendations, but in general a mediterranean-style diet now has overwhelming evidence that it is strongly associated with a reduction in cardiovascular diseases, type-2 diabetes, cancer, etc.
@turntablesrockmyworld9315, I agree with you, we need lots of vegetables and at least 2 fruits a day to get the minerals and vitamins necessary, plus meat, legume, nuts, good fat, we should try to eat real food and avoid processed and refined products. Fasting is also very good for your body.
Ever since I realized you weren't "V-Shred"... lol.... I've been binge watching all of your videos. Great stuff man! Seriously, love your content. Stumbled onto it via "What I've Learned", you started being recommended.
It is often indicated at the beginning (or bottom) of the publication, just where they state whether there is conflict of interest. The issue is that conflict of interest is something the researchers self-assess and self-declare, hence, credibility is often weak. But this one is probably funded by sugar industry to prevent loss of profit. Just look how many happy folks are in the comments section who received "a blessing" to go back to eating sugar.
@@EA-ck4so I'd hope most of us who are hanging around this particular comment section know better than to jump back into the full SAD - the added sugars will add a bunch of extra calories, if nothing else, and none of us need that. But it does show why some people who eat pre processed, overpriced, off the shelf keto garbage aren't doing as well as those who stick to whole food sources of lean proteins and healthy fats even if they have a slightly higher carb count.
Good info, Thomas. Thank you. To help avoid transfats, don’t use seed oils when cooking and when cooking with any oil, cook at as low of temperature as you can and don’t use oil at high temperatures, or for long periods of time. So, in other words, don’t eat fried foods of any kind.
I have heard this explained about transfats and insulin resistance/ diabetes, that the sugar, and to a larger degree, transfats were more the culprit. As a former NASH patient years ago I made progress away from doing those things you mentioned towards the end to reverse it.
There's a weird thing i try to figure out. At home i am very strict on my eating to beat my insulin resistant. No matter what's my diet, only one single time breaking it, blood glucose jump significantly even though i am a very active person walking 2 hours daily plus other workout activities (swimming....). But when traveling to Europe i eat ton of fruits, drink cocktails, hot wine (it's sweet), eat late and going to bed at 3,4 am most of the time. Wake up in the morning with blood sugar below 100. Isn't it amazing? I believe something about the ingredients in the food. I also drink a lot of fresh full milk and that doesn't bother my digestive at all. I randomly touch the dairy food, milk butter and cheese in the US that give me a lot of trouble. You barely see organic products in Italy markets and grapes in Europe are not sprayed with any chemicals. I strongly believe we are eating bad food from bad sources and living in the bad environment in the US. Thinking to move away for longevity
I'm not fat at all, but I can say that intermittent fasting and being low carb, whilst avoid trans fats, seems to be working quite well. In combination with lifting weights, I'm losing fat but gaining muscle, which has me looking better than I ever have in the past.
@@jpc9923 I decided to switch away from the keto/carnivore diet after my LDL got really high. The interesting with me is that before going keto for an elimination diet for Rosacea, my blood work was perfect. I was very insulin resistant also and I ate mostly carbs. I think the key for good blood work is to be skinny with a 6 pack, this basically means you are burning any excess calories and not storing them.
Well I'm not some hardcore ketogenic type. I eat a fair amount of carbs, and on the weekends, I usually eat a normal amount of carbs that are comparable to anyone else. It's just a balancing act for me almost. A general reduction is a good thing. @@jpc9923
Yeah, and it’s been dramatically reduced in processed foods. But I’m not aware that obesity and metabolic syndrome have declined any, here in the U.S. Nutrition is confusing!
I appreciate you packaging all of this data and summary at the end. This lisf literally should be a poster in every doctor's office and taught in medical school. I won't use oil, except sesame, and eat out for 1 month. I'll do the exercise, fast, caloric intake, and decrease the amount of sugar. I'm sure I could lose my weight with your protocol. Thank you!
This has been known for a very long time. Eating excess calories over years will also cause insulin resistance because of fat accumulation. Kudos to Thomas for bringing forward what many keto influencers won't tell you.
The research has been telling us for a very long time indeed that when you equate for calories, protein and fibre the remaining composition (carbs and fats) matters a lot less than you think, even if those carbs are refined. Telling someone to eat a balanced diet with sufficient protein and fibre, at maintenance calories (or in a slight deficit if you're overweight, or want to improve your bloodwork) isn't sexy though and isn't going to make all the usual Keto / Low Insulin zealots any money. We all want that 'one weird trick' to melt belly fat overnight ; well here it is: eat marginally less than you need in a manner that is sustainable for you.
I don’t get the attack on Keto “influencers” - a true Keto style diet can be one of the most natural things and proven in the real world to be very effective and far more so than a typical western diet , nobody should blindly follow a black and white diet though , one of the main things should be first improve the quality of your gut biome - this is the main thing that process’s food ingested - it’s your motor and it needs to be efficient , then find the food that work best for you , there is zero wrong with natural organic fats and to try and claim it’s unhealthy is absurd when this is how the human body evolved , yes variety and moderation is key but to claim those who push Keto/paleo style diets are wrong is ridiculous based on one small study with small mammals in cages ! Currently the most reliable data comes from those who analyse people living in the blue zones .
@@richardbirks Funny and Ironic you say that because the real keto influencers know not to eat the kind of fats he is describing here. We ALREADY KNOW THIS. In other words, the problem was solved a long time ago and now THOMAS is the one trying to come up with content for his videos, to you guessed it... make money. I already unsubscribed to his buldspit but I keep getting videos because he probably pays for that too. No keto influencer is saying to eat crisco and margarine we know better than that. its called clean keto genius. I didn't reverse my diabetes by eating a "balanced" meal. he just keeps going further and further off course.
@@imjoeimjoe Exactly. DeLauer has been doing this for awhile now. Struggling with content to make money and comes up with these 're invent the wheel' type bullshit videos. That trans fats are bad has been known for decades.
In addition to all of this great information: different sugars metabolize differently. Look at the work of Robert Lustig from UC San Francisco. Fructose can also be very problematic, whether from high fructose corn syrup or fruit. In the school of nutrition I come from: you can 'play with sugar a little', but eating BAD fats causes serious damage to cell tissue
😂😂😂. Ok. We’ll tell that to the type 1 diabetics who implement a very heavy vegan fruit based diet. I’ve seen their blood levels tested many times with More then perfect levels. And the ones who do best are the most fruit 😂 But sure. Avoid fruit
I remember the Hazards of Sugar - that video even got referenced in How to Drink's simple syrups video. 2:1 sugar syrups are shelf stable. Why? With 2/3 sugar by volume, ain't nothing growing in that delicious bottle of poison. So you can prepare them and just leave them out at room temperature for months with no mold as long as there is a stopper. Anaerobic bacteria cannot grow with that much concentrated sugar in their medium.
Interesting to know that probably trans fats don't just clog our arteries but cause insulin resistance as well. But trans fats are found in two forms - natural, which occur in some animal products and aren’t considered harmful, and artificial, which are hydrogenated vegetable oils and have serious health consequences. Important to know which type of trans fats were used in the animal experiments Thomas is citing.
Thomas, I am a bit confused as trans fat have been banned in the US in 2018. I know small amount are naturally occurring in fats such as butter. Could you then please talk about this issue in a next video?
@@wilyliam When you read the chemistry literature, the generated amount of TFA with frying is trivial and certainly increases above the smoking point.The natural amount of TFA in seed oils is so trivial that I am not sure it is worth obsessing about. I think we need to keep focusing on the big picture.
After so many changes in dietary advice, I've settled on my one and only diet I will ever use or recommend - eat real food. That's all. Is it real food? Cool! Eat it. Is it processed food? Think twice, and consume sparingly. And aside from that, listen to your body, and eat what and when it wants you to. Your body knows what nutrients it needs, and whether or not it is ok to fast at that time.
Indeed, I think that you are right. Do not eat food that has been transformed by any other but yourself. You know what it is in it. There are so many delicious whole foods. I do not understand why we need all that industrial crap.
That sounds great. I’d back it up by actual blood work That’s like a teenager saying only do what’s healthy. So that for him would move toward vaping. Pron. playing video games all day because he knows what his body wants There’s a reason science exists so you know what is actually going on vs. what you believe is going on
@ssing7113 I think you've misunderstood my comment if you think a diet plan of eating unprocessed food, and fasting when your body feels up to it, is in any way similar to "vaping and playing video games all day". As for "follow the science"... it keeps changing, which means that at least half of it is wrong (ie paid for by the food industry to get the results they want). So unfortunately, we can't rely on it.
Come on guys we know enough already. Fast as long as comfortable to you , sleep well, eat when you really give up fighting hunger, eat just to suppress hunger, eat slowly or have a break of couple of minutes during your meal, avoid garbage foods (we know them already) , start your meal with green vegetables, move more especially after the meal, practice whole body weight lifting exercises if you can , some HIIT exercises if you can. avoid stress if you can
Oxalates, fertilizers, and glyphosate with endocrine disruptors in veggies and fruits because of no bacteria, fungi, or nutrients in the soil is out. Carnivore and berries and kiwi from blue zones is about it. You don’t need toxic vegetables or fruits as they have 10k more natural pesticides than industrial. Facts!
This is a phenomenal video and share. Thank you for always keeping on the cutting edge of science and keeping us informed. I am not getting this passion for my health from the doctors my insurance company pays for, and your videos give me hope.
Dr Lustig mentions this in extent in Metabolical and recent TH-cam podcasts. It Makes sense in relation to symptoms such as gallstones as an example. I used to think apple juice helped melt away the stones, which helped me extensively and discharged myself from surgical intervention, as a diabetic years later i wouldn't drink it for the sugar content. I still have odd gallstone pain (mainly an ache) but only when I've had something not "natural" as opposed to a nice juicy steak or fried breakfast, yet on the onset of gallstones I cut out all of the fatty meats such as pork, during my keto years and not having my gallbladder surgery due to symptoms going away, I never even remembered I had them.
That was a great book! I was like you and I put it off for months. It would only act up once in a while and I could always sleep it off...until one day, Thanksgiving. That ache and side and severe back pain became really bad and did not go away. I nearly died and had it taken out. Sometimes the root cause is the pancreas- other dysfunctions. Rapid weight loss can do it too. I hope you can keep yours. I miss mine! It is a very common and quick surgery- just find a fully qualified surgeon. Do this now, ahead of time just in case you need one. Private practice specialist- not just general hospital staff. Good luck.
I absolutely love the rate of refinement and distillation of information in the health and wellness space. I know there's some fatigue around it for some, but I think it's absolutely beautiful. May we get closer and closer to the core truths. I love the experimentation and improvement process. I'm so thankful you had guys like Paul Saladino on who aren't afraid to grow and adapt. We press forward, healthier and healthier. These past 5 years have been so efficient.
@Nautilus1972 no you don't, been doing this for almost 6 yrs and it works great. There is not scientific stuff show u have to eat a high fat. Checkout Marie Emmerich as she been doing for over 20 yrs and she cooks for Holi Berry and had about 20 cook books out
Makes sense to reduce both the trans fats and added sugars or not over-consume them. Whatever we over consume will dictate how our bodies react. Our bodies basically get sick when we eat too much of one type of food. It puts a strain on the body and the body will get sick in trying to deal with it.
@@bigglyguy8429it depends on the individual. I tried the carnivore diet last year… super high quality pastured meat, followed all the latest ‘research’, took trace minerals and electrolytes. I ended up having constant chronic diarrhea that was so bad I ended up having to go see a gastroenterologist, I was killing my kidneys with the dehydration caused by the diarrhea from the carnivore diet… and on top of that I lost a third of my hair, I was extremely sick. The doctor told me to immediately stop the carnivore diet, after a few days everything normalized and I felt much better, never had chronic diarrhea again. It took a year for my hair to come back. So when someone says eating the same thing all the time can make you sick, the answer is absolutely YES.
This is not new. But definitely a important topic. There were similar human studies done from tribes that eat high carb, potato diets when given trans fat high Omega 6 oils they became metabolically ill within a short time.
The documentary on TH-cam of the obese 400lbs people always shows them eating potatoes drenched in oil or cheese. No wonder. If they are just potatoes, they'd be getting 3x less calories.
I don’t necessarily believe this research. Totally antidotal, but I eat very healthy the majority of the time, but my one weakness was late night snacking on organic fig bars, granola bars, & “healthy” treats. No trans fat but, processed carbohydrates. I ended up with insulin resistance. I am pretty leery of research nowadays; I have to use common sense.
@@johncalla2151 Genetics vary. Skinny people can become insulin resistant and diabetic without a "disorder." They (typically Asian) are simply not always gifted with the ability to gain fat well.
@@johncalla2151 almost everybody age 50 and up, especially women at Menopause will be insulin resistant/pre diabetic because of loss of estrogen and testosterone. Once you replace lost hormones with HRT, the insulin resistance goes away. it did for me, my sister, and many of my gym friends. dont need to kill yourself at the gym either. eat what you like, (I eat cake with whipped cream and fruit every single day after dinner!) but I make it myself, and only use butter not oil, no oil of any kind apart from olive oil occasionally on salad.
After 3 years now of watching Thomas, Dr Berg, Sten Ekberg, and others, I'm convinced everyone is just guessing to their best ability. Doesn't make them right. Time to give up and take back all the hours I've lost by watching youtube videos of people guessing what works.
I agree. Every other week there is new research debunking the last research. My grandparents lived into their centurion ages, as farmers they lived off the land and their only sugar was fruit. Let's go back to that way of eating.
The 0 transfat number is a lie. They are allowed to round down for small amounts. Trans fats are already partially banned in the US, you won't find them in anything if all you do is read the nutritional numbers, because they are required to be 0 per serving. You have to read the ingredient list for all the scientific names it can be hidden under, because they still use it in small amounts and then round down on the total to display 0.
The issues with these studies is they didn't do a comparison with just sugar. I'd eliminated trans fats about 3 years ago, and still had insulin resistance and noticeable visceral fat. Went away when I cut out sugar, simple carbs, and snacks. I agree that trans fats will increase the problem, but like you said, attacking both is the best. 3 months after getting rid of simple carbs and sugar, I'd lost 3 inches in my waist, over 80% of it visceral fat. There is also the possibility that once you've had IR due to transfats and sugar,s the pancreas cannot completely recover with only the transfats being eliminated, as you are still assaulting it with high glucose levels.
This explains a lot. Ive known people that traveled out of the country and ate large amounts of carbs and junk food in vacations and they lost weight. A lot of ingredients are banned in other countries that are in most processed foods in America. We gotta start refusing to consume these things!
According to the book written by Cyrus Khbatta, PHD, Mastering Diabetes, it is high fat, mostly animal fat, and not sugar, that causes type two diabetes.
I think sugar is important once you become diabetic. My experience has been about the consumption of carbs, how many, and the serving size. I am talking about complex carbs, not simple carbs. I haven't had trans fats in 15 years and I still struggle with type 2. The best method I have experienced is losing visceral fat. You have to watch the type and amount of carbs you consume, no trans fats, no simple sugars, exercise hard, eat fat and protein, fast, and if you are insulin-dependent watch it carefully and get off it as soon as your health allows. Insulin will work against your efforts to lose weight. Is type 2 reversible? Kind of. Once you reverse the effects of type 2, you must maintain it or it will return. Bottom line, lose the fat and reverse your fatty liver then reversing type 2 will follow.
5:07 "Insulin resistance caused by the pancreas being dysfunctional"? I'm a bit rusty on this topic but I thought insulin resistance had to do with requiring an abundance of insulin due to an inability of insulin to effectively shuttle glucose into cells for energy metabolism. I agree that if the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin then glucose levels would be elevated (textbook type 1 diabetes), but this would be different from insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes).
That's right. Pancreatic dysfunction leading to insufficient insulin being released would be diabetes, not insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a feature of the cells in the muscles/liver/adipose starting to ignore the insulin, not the pancreas failing to produce it.
Also to add. Too much insulin causes a host of issues then along with the adrenals spitting out all day adrenaline and cortisol causing an acid like effect on organs and body tissue
Yea, I’m going to have a big bowl of olive oil, sugar and chocolate!! Glad to hear Sugar isn’t the insulin resistance culprit after all. This is crazy, insulin resistance is caused by sugar, oh wait, did we say sugar? We meant stress, it’s stress that causes insulin resistance. . . Oh wait, did we say stress? What we meant was trans fats cause insulin resistance. . . . And we’re also looking to see if breathing causes insulin resistance. All these studies keep looking at one thing at a time and our bodies don’t work like that. There are numerous things that work synergistically, and NOT everyone reacts the same way, that contribute to health and wellness vs sickness and disease. I just saw an article and the Mayo Clinic says it’s now healthy to eat liquid margarine! 😳🙄🤪
Oil and sugar are hard to get in nature in a way we eat right now. Oily grains are hard to farm working modern machines and chemicals. Many grains are hard to farm as well. This causes the proportions to be upside down. My father grew up on a farm in Eastern Europe, his father was farming with a horse. He said that vegetable oil was very rare, deep frying was not done at all and mostly they were eating some sort of soup. Different types of carbohydrates sources were available, because plants need to be rotated without access to modern chemicals.
Can you ask him about hemp seed. It’s nearly a weed and grows extremely easy given enough water and “right soil”. I’d assume it wasn’t popular for the fact of its hard shell that is unpleasant to most to crunch it. And just wasn’t prolly as popular as a staple as the demand wasn’t there. All I’ve learned it was known as bird seed filler which birds love for sure. So I’m not sure there was a correlation to human consumption Also I’d assume sunflower wouldn’t fit your wording for oily seed yet I’m sure was grown quite often as a garden plant in long times ago which served as form and function But yes I’m general life was just rough with manual labor. Lol. People strived to even get enough calories as the burning of calories just in manual labor all day and life was very rough and tough

Dude…I hate to break it to you but our ‘ancestors’ weren’t very healthy. The African tribes that Paul Saladino is basing his business on are some of the most unhealthy malnourished people in the world. If you don’t believe me, go see for your self.
Yeah except that even in the tropics there is an important element of seasonality to what was available to humans and Saladino does not take that into account at all. He has visited one hunter gatherer tribe that is quite different to our ancestors in many respects. Climate, range type of game available etc...and he has based everything on that.
Recommending avoiding sugar is not the same as saying sugar is the culprit in insulin resistance. If you can't understand this simple, basic nuance you should probably unsubscribe.
It is not surprising to me that there is more than one major contributor to insulin resistance et al. Thankfully all of them seem to be easy to manage.
I'm burning out on all these plot twists. just going to do a 36hr water fast once a week (monk fast) and keep my carbs under 100grams a day while eating fatty meat
@@vchafab I also eat over a 4 to 6hr window so fasting 18-20hrs a day too. everyone is different so i would experiment and go off how you feel and what's working for you 🙂
Longtime fan, I know a lot of subscribers here are diehard keto fans because it worked where other diets failed. However, fitness really just comes down to calories, protein intake, and exercise. I went years without eating a gram of refined sugar and now I eat about 100 grams of glucose/sucrose daily, love snacking on hard candy. I'm far leaner and have more energy and less psychological fatigue. I have no strict dietary restrictions. I only try to limit foods that are high-calorie/low protein. Basically moderation with Snicker's bars, donuts, ice cream, or I look for low fat versions. Generally I limit cholesterol and saturated fat also, the evidence is solid for that protocol
I wonder this too .. I mean and how do you exactly know how hot is too hot . I watched the Blue Zone documentary on Netflix and they were showing these people frying their food on olive oil while saying that olive oil was part of the reason it was a Blue Zone .
yes sugar + trans fats is synergistic - there is a catalytic function here. the odd thing is that by looking at macro's and cutting 'carbs' I have cut at least 80% of the processed frankenfoods and the seed oils that come in the package.
This works perfectly. Whole foods are (obviously) the way to go. That's why any whole food diet sees at least "some" improvement, you're removing all the bullshit and letting your body heal. I'm a proponent of the keto/carnivore space, but bare minimum getting people on whole foods is a game changer for so many people.
@@gabeguzman9478 The fruit is healthy, the fructose is not. The fruit keeps you from overeating thus lowering the fructose intake. Fruit juice is worse than soda because it is marketed as "healthy" and "natural". Have you ever seen bottles and cartons grow at trees?
Great topic. There is a whole spectrum of peoples ability to break down consumed fats as well as construct the fats the body needs. The combinations of these abilities and disabilities toward fat metabolism is vast as well as the issues that can happen. Example: some cant break down saturated fats well but are fine with shorter chain fats. Others cant construct certain fats in the cell. On and on. All relates to enzyme function and other co-nutrient issues. The rabbit holes are deep.
The real question thomas, Is what types of trans-fat effect insulin resistance, do all of them? For example natural trans fat in meat, or processed food trans fat? I remember you saying theres a difference in past videos
Sounds obvious really, but it's kind of an incremental progression of what we know so far. I just think about all the bad advice regarding health and weight over the years. 30 years ago my doctor told me I had a fatty liver. Surprised me (since I wasn't overweight), I was told to "cut down in my drinking" despite the fact that I drank very little. But, that was the belief at the time. Later, it becomes apparent that alcohol is only a contributor to fatty liver and not the primary cause. As an endurance athlete I was in the habit of carb loading. Then I find that's really likely contributing to the fattyness of my liver! OK, so it looks like sugar is the poison killing my liver!? Fine I'm cutting down on that too. At my age I was at THE epicenter of the trans-fats generation. Highly processed vegetable oils were considered more healthy. So now this. Totally makes sense to me and honestly seems pretty obvious when you think about it. The sudden glut of carnivore dieters. What would be something they DON'T consume? Trans-fats (& sugar) Of course in a few years we may find out this is wrong, but it certainly . . . . feels right. I mean if we clog up the liver with trans-fats, then it only makes sense that it will get inflamed and have difficulty processing the sugar, carbs, and alcohol! 😮
I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago. I eliminated saturated fat from my diet and reversed the diabetic blood glucose readings within one week. It’s absolutely fat that causes insulin resistance. Unfortunately everyone who has prediabetes and diabetes are avoiding carbs to avoid glucose spikes which is making them increasingly insulin resistant. This exacerbates the problem which is insulin resistance.
Its importanly about cell membrane fluidity and thus the ability of transporters (GLUT4) to migrate. The quality of fatty acids in the diet of course directly affects the composition of fatty acid bilayer in the cell membrane. This has been known for at least 20 years, because thats how long i've been aware of it.
I eat tons of fruit, vegetables, and grains. I am 58, NO medications at all, BP 105/72, resting HR mid 40's, never felt better/stronger. Walk 3-4 hours every morning and I do intermittent fasting. My cousin does Keto and has real good results also. The key to this is "Fasting", NO snacking in between, and NO processed foods. I only eat home cooked food.
hey thomas thank you very much for your knowledge and enthusiasm, we would love to have a video about micro plastics, this subject realy spiked my intrest and it seems you have'nt published any video about it, thank you very much!
I made a new diet for myself. I call it the fist diet. Since the stomach is the size of my fist than for me that is all I should eat, only a fist size portion of food. Mostly home cooked meals. No sweet food or drinks. I only eat twice a day, lunch and dinner making sure dinner is exactly at 6pm. Drinking water only because I feel the kidneys always need to be clean or purified. I started 2 weeks ago. I have lost 14 lbs, and whats amazing my knees would hurt and swell when walking especially on concrete. My knees are not swollen anymore and don't swell walking on concrete. I have painful muscle spasms every day but they started becoming less. I haven't had one in the last four days. I would clear my throat constantly and I had lost the tone in my voice when I would sing and I have loved singing since I was a child. Now my throat stays clear and the tone has come back to my singing voice. Also my eyes looked yellowish all the time and I thought it was age. Now my eyes are white. I also don't fall asleep without knowing it because I feel lite and have a lot of energy. My tongue always felt swollen and it's small again. Thr bible said do not be guttonous and I feel especially now with my results that eating more than you should and the added products destroy our bodies. I only eat the size of my stomach truthfully the results has been amazing.
I feel like Thomas is anxious at anything at this point. Like whenever he moved to a new way of eating, he will find new studies to support his new ways of eating. I followed Thomas while he was doing keto, I am totally fine with him switching to low carbs. But the at least the title card don't have to be this clickbait, like he is continuously disproving his last idea. Keto, paleo, Carnivore, even Vegan...just do what you feel right, you don't have to drag yourself into this kind of constant science debate.
so based on this video I would say that even at the cleanest levels of nutrition, we shouldn’t combine red meat and high glycemic carbs. I’ve been experimenting with the fruit and meat diet for a while and during that whole time I weighed 10 lbs more than my time in keto. I was eating a lot of red meat (which does have trans fats believe it or not) and all organic fruit. (For reference, I’m a very lean and athletic human being) so with that being said, from this point forward I’m gonna try eating only low carb vegetables with red meat (because I’ll never give up steak) and higher glycemic carbs with chicken and fish (which have 0 trans fats) Thanks Thomas for always reading all research and breaking it down for us. 🙏🏼
You were prolly not tracking calories. I’d highly doubt pound for pound and calorie intake for calorie intake, fruit made you fat 😂 Why then are vegans who eat 5 bananas for breakfast emaciated looking then. Because they don’t eat enough calories simply. What’s funny is I am athletic as well. I was vegan and went adding meat to my diet along with my high fruit and that’s how I was able to achieve my six pack finally is in the state you describe made you fatter
nice assumption but you’re wrong about me. I eat way more calories on a low carb diet but I’m much leaner/lighter than when I added fruit. and your experience/results are because you came from a vegan lifestyle, whereas I never stopped eating meat. maybe you got your six pack because you finally added animal based proteins, but for me I needed to cut fruit to be lighter. try not to assume other peoples BASELINES, we’re all here trying to learn what may or may not benefit our own individual experiences, not argue.
Work with insulin dependent diabetics has shown that high gluten wheat like al dente pasta and pizza crust may require up to double the insulin per gram of carbs, extended over up to 12 hours to manage. This has been confirmed by Harvard research. The probable mechanism is a direct stimulation of glucagon and possibly stress hormones as the gluten bound starch granules transit the intestines. Type 1 diabetics often have to run extended boluses of insulin for high gluten wheat products, and the extended boluses may end up containing 150%-200% as much insulin as an equal number of carbs from something like potatoes or lower gluten bread products.
I give up; I feel exhausted by all of this... it's like being in front of a reinforced door and being handed ONLY wrong keys. It is so frustrating wanting to just slim down. I'd be happy staying in a size 34 😢 Just as there are white people, dark people, tall, short, etc. There are slim people and fat people just because
I know you probably don’t want to read this but after many diets…carnivore worked best for me. I eat eggs as well. Lots of water and your minerals…( plus walk walk walk)
@@Zanarkdi as long as you start and keep it, you'll feel wonderful, it's like you'll get so used to eat on a certain way that you'll not feel like your pushing it, but are naturally following a habit
Hey Vegans, Transfats come mostly from oxidizing of Vegetable oil, which is Vegan. The other noted substance, sugar, is also vegan. Yep, such a healthy diet. I've always heard the big issue causing insulin resistance isn't sugar or even carbs, but rather eating constantly all day long. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, desert, snack...
Great info. I wish there was a continuous insulin monitor I could wear. Keeping my blood sugar low doesn’t seem to make much of a difference to my insulin levels. I don’t eat trans fats anymore but it would be nice to know how long this is going to take to reverse the damage I’ve already done.
We all know trans fats are an issue, but so are saturated fats. Intramyocellular lipids (IML) from animal saturated fat is the real cause of insulin resistance, because it inactivates insulin receptors. Processed sugar just makes it worse. This is mainly why Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition actually reverses Type 2 Diabetes, because it helps to clear out the IML from cells, since we aren't consuming it anymore. Keto merely "artificially" decreases blood sugar without getting to the root cause. Dr. Neal Barnard and others talk about this, please look into it!
One of the best channels, I find! Very evidence based and presentation is very clear and collected. And still it is not a surface view! Good job! Mighty impactful!
Now I haven’t watch the video yet, so I am speaking prematurely, but speaking for myself as a type 2 diabetic- I had to laugh because it took researchers to finally figure that out. It’s complicated but it’s more related to what your hormones are telling your body to do or not do. And that your body doesn’t do what your hormones are telling it to do. I fasted for 17 days water only the first three days my sugars naturally started coming down. No longer needed my insulin/meds. After the eighth day, my blood sugar started going back up as my body adapted and became more efficient with fasting. Still 9 more days with water only yet elevated blood sugars.
Hi Thomas! Been watching and subscribed for awhile, love your videos thank you. I have also tried to thrive. I am looking to kickstart my fitness and health routine in the next month or two and am wondering if you have a video that talks about how to start up your fitness and health routine, especially after a long period of not exercising. Is there any kind of best practice scientific method to RAMP back up, are there certain vitamins or minerals you might want to take as your body starts adjusting to its new lifestyle? Especially for older folks over 45, I really want to hit the ground running and while I have had a cardiogram lol I am thinking ..it would be a bummer If I jumped on a treadmill / bike and died the first week of a heart attack while trying to get back into the flow lol I was hunting through and didn't see any vids but you have ALOT :)
So cool😊 So true. I have gone from 92 kilos too........73 kilos without really trying. It fell off. Feeling healthy. Just working on the exercise bit. Excellent video so right. THANK YOU VERY MUCH❤😊
Regardless of what the root cause of diabetes is, sugar in all its forms has a deleterious effect on the body’s organs (especially the liver), gut/mouth microbiome and is a neurotoxin and significant culprit in cognitive decline. If you do enough research on this topic, how could it escape a cognitively well-adjusted person that this century plus sugar storm and processed food scheme were deliberate?
"Brief exposures to *polyunsaturated fatty acids* can damage the *insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas* and the mitochondria in which oxidative energy production takes place. Prolonged exposure causes progressive damage. Acutely, the free polyunsaturated fatty acids cause capillary permeability to increase, and this can be detected at the beginning of “insulin resistance” or “diabetes.” After chronic exposure, the leakiness increases and albumin occurs in the urine, as proteins leak out of the blood vessels. The retina and brain and other organs are damaged by the leaking capillaries." Ray peat has talked about this since the 70s... Sugar (a naturally occuring compound in the body in the form of glucose and glycogen) was never the problem. PUFA locking it OUTSIDE of the cell is.... And just so happened to become a staple in 1950s American food supply chain right before American waistlines exploded girth. Ps, pufa isnt the only thing that causes insulin resistance, ie... Radiation, stress, bodily injury and chemical exposure can cause even more. But PUFA happens to be the most damaging in food.
Heard on another channel recently that if you cook rice or pasta (or potatoes ?), then let it cool for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator before reheating it and eating it, it will spike your system significantly less than before.
Reducing sugar intake is essential for health and longevity. Controlling insulin levels is crucial for managing blood sugar. Fasting can help regulate insulin by reducing glucose intake, allowing the body to use stored energy. However, it's essential to monitor fasting periods carefully and consult a healthcare professional for guidance, especially for individuals with diabetes or other health concerns. I've neem on OMAD for almost 1 year and I'm never going back to 3 square meals a day!
Yes...BUT....take a deeper look into what actually keeps insulin high longer. Protein and fat keeps insulin stable three hours after eating. This is true. But several hours after, the overall insulin is HIGHER than it is after just a a fruit meal.
MANY of the foods that have trans fats are always carbohydrate rich.. such as fried foods (trans fat / carb heavy) and baked goods (trans fats / carb heavy / sugar heavy)
Foods high in purine are also a factor for non alcoholic fatty liver as they are metabolized, uric acid is produced and this uric acid acts as a trigger to store fat in the liver.
Spikes can be good at the right time, such as after or during exercise and when eating protein, provided it comes back down quickly. I've used a CGM and monitored the result of a protein shake and some shrimp (read: very little fat) after a heavy workout. My sugar spikes for about 45 minutes and it's back at baseline in a little over an hour. That's probably about 15 grams net carbs and 50g protein. I was diagnosed diabetic five years ago, and went keto in response. As for "bad carbs and seed oils" that's 100% correct. I avoid them. I avoid pretty much all carbs except crucifers and other non-starchy vegetables and non-sweet fruits with the exception of post-workout high-protein binges. PS: I meant to point out that the "good" is that the spike corresponds to an insulin spike, which shuttles the protein into your muscles.
Yes, 100%! As a person with type 1 diabetes I can tell you that all fat, not just trans fat, causes insulin resistance. Anything more than 15g fat per meal/snack causes acute insulin resistance for about 4-8 hours. I love my healthy fats, but just something to be mindful of and careful not to overdo.
I have been hearing for just a few years this idea that higher carbs can be tolerated fairly well in a context of somewhat low fructose and VERY low seed oils and very low transfats. (Real Food, etc.) I think this may be right, but I still suspect that for people who developed Insulin Resistance on the standard American diet, or who have carb cravings related to that, or who are currently obese -- those people may need to stay on keto, or something close to it. And I think they will do fine.
As a type 1 diabetic who has previously followed a whole food low fat plant based diet. You are correct. Your body becomes more efficient at processing carbs. When your body becomes more efficient at processing carbs you then require less insulin becoming more insulin sensitive. I use low carb and low fat plant as tools to boost my insulin sensitivity
I suggest you look at the guys at mastering diabetes I think it’s called. Two type 1 who eat extremely high carbs and fruit The one guy who eats the most fruit has the best blood levels .. go figure.
Yep. New video new different style every day 😂 This guy is just for the clicks. I’d like to see his blood test results as he’s either on PED or somehow he was gifted the genetic lottery of genes. Working out. Personality to even keep up working up Dude is not doing fully legal things that he says in his videos. That’s for sure. Go look at any natural person who works out. It’s near impossible to look like that for that long with assistance from the medical pharmacy cornucopia
I remember. The deal the process food Industry made about transfats and their reported analysis on the label. The sample size for testing is made so low, that the level of detection is very low, meaning the test may only detect levels above say 0.5% or even higher. So, all those labels saying 0% transfat may be hiding that there is significant transfat there, just that the test could not detect this transfat. This is just another reason to avoid manufactured foods with such labels, particularly fried foods, even without labels.
Very informative. Title of this video does suggest a "soft" justification for sugar in the diet. "Sugar as a casualty"? Carbohydrate addiction is a real thing, very few people can moderate their consumption to a healthful level. IMO (based on research) 😁

I was just talking about this with someone! I was wondering if trans fats are just hidden under a different name now, like how high fructose corn syrup has like 10+ different names now. Because people are reacting to the foods the same way as if theres trans fats, but the U.S claimed to have removed trans fats from all foods! So wtf lol, but there's still a ridiculous spike in fatty liver and insulin resistance despite "removing trans fats." I've decided it's just better to eat from nature and don't trust packages or labels at all. Of course there's still gmos, pesticides & whatever hormones or antibitoics they inject into the meats if you dont always have access or the funds for organic, grass fed, hormone free stuf, but just hope for the best since there's less of a toxic load from all the unidentifiable processed junk.
Based on my own experience, I think stress and lack of sleep play a huge role in becoming insulin-resistant. I never hear this talked about, though.
They do talk about it. Read Young Forever- Hyman.
Those are risk factors that contribute indirectly to insulin resistance. Trans fats and saturated fats are prime contributors, acting in a direct fashion.
@@MOAB-UT Thanks!

I cut out processed foods, use grass fed butter, coconut oil, olive oil and cut out cane sugar and switched to honey, maple sugar and coconut sugar. My blood sugar is not spiking like it did in the past. I was shocked! I wore a CGM to test all of this out. I also added pasta back into my diet but switched to organic imported Italian pasta and had a moderate amount with little to no impact on my blood sugar when I typically would have high blood sugar. Clean eating is the way to go!

Possibly the most overlooked problem is vegetable oil in general. Corn oil, soybean oil, and canola oil are highly inflammatory whether hydrogenated or not. Not only do they cause chronic diseases, but they contribute to insulin resistance.
Not really. Data doesn't show that. It's possible and indeed probable that reheating oils like they do in fast food joints is a problem, but adding good quality canola oil to a salad is not bad for you and no studies have show that it is.

Being a 50s kid i have to say sugar was a mainstay in our diets. But things like margarine and crisco didn't come to market for awhile. Hardly anyone had diabetes and obesity was far far less than it is today. Fried foods were a treat not a regular part of my family diet. And I grew up on Wonder Bread!
Your portion sizes were smaller from restaurants though. And you only had like 10 channels on TV so you weren’t inside as much.
all healthy carbs
Great points. I find it amazing how society at large seems to have such short term memories!
Exactly, on my family the only overweight person with health issues is the one that won't use sugar. She use fake sugar, low fat product and whole grain cereals.
I, like my grandparents, if I need sweetener I'll just use plane unrefined cane sugar, or honey, if I drink milk it's whole milk, and I'll use whatever meat I'm cooking fats as grease if I need to do something else on the pan. Ie eggs. I'm considered underweight, have no insulin problems and low bad cholesterol. My grandma lived to 100, and my grandpa is soon to be 91. And he still fully functional, walks a few miles every day, no health problems like cholesterol, blood pressure or sugar related.
High Fructose Corn Syrup is far more damaging than any plane old sugar and I don't see people stressing over it when I'm doing my grocery shopping. I try to avoid it like the plage but the damn thing is in everything. I hope for one day to be banned.
That's what I always think, we grew up on breads, cereals and sweets as kids, it wasn't healthy, yet hardly anyone was obese or diabetic, but we didn't have subways, McDonald's, kfcs and pizza huts, coffee shops full of pastries and donuts on every corner. I believe these and the abundance of foods, particularly processed and restaurant/takeaways in our lifestyles is the cause of so many of the problems.
I quit eating out a year ago and went keto 5 years ago. I am so grateful I did because otherwise, I'd still be obese and have a whole host of other medical issues.

Two more important protocols to prevent/clean up plaque. Keep inflammation at bay. Inflammation is important for infections. The immune system is doing what it's supposed to do. Inflammation can damage the blood vessel walls, which causes plaque to stick.

@@johnng4425Companies can legally have 0.5 grams of trans fats per serving and say 0 grams of trans fats on the nutrition label. So, they haven't been completely removed from the food supply.
One important note is that there are some natural trans fats that are healthy. One called CLA has been researched and shown to have benefits. It's usually in animal foods in small amounts. So no need to supplement it or worry about getting too much if you just eat whole foods.
Artificial trans fats made in a lab are the problem. They have been greatly reduced in the food supply, but not completely eliminated.
I agree with this. I went from drinking maybe a half 2liter of soda a day and eating whatever(fast food and just non healthy stuff), not watching calories, while being pretty active, to drinking water only and eating once a day, typically a thick ribeye steak and a few happy egg organic free range eggs. Sometimes some oven baked wings(no spices or sauces). Didn’t necessarily watch calories, but I’d say it was somewhere under 1500 calories a day. I felt as full as the previous unhealthy diet. I lost about 40 lbs in 3 months. Not only that, I felt absolutely wonderful compared to how I used too.
Definitely didn’t feel hungry like most people think will happen changing up a diet. The way I look at it is it’s just a matter of eating certain things you like and making sure to not eat other certain things you like. Drinking water only was the only uneasy thing but got used to that pretty fast. Faster than I could of imagined.
I'd feel starving on only that.

But I’ve been eating a well-balanced whole food plant based diet for several years now, and I’ve just started buying organic produce (After learning about what pesticides and herbicides do to the body). To go plant based, you really do need to understand nutrition, but I would say that most people, whatever their diet, are completely ignorant on the subject of nutrition. Anyway, I’ve never been as healthy as I have been these past few years. The additional great thing about going plant-based, is that it is so much better for the environment, so those of you with children might want to think about that.
So we come to the conclusion that the Donut is still the #1 thing you should not eat.
How dare you!! Krispy Kreme doughnut should be on everyone’s shortlist for healthy food
ice cream is liquid death
High -sugar- carb + high fat-particularly highly oxidized fat-is definitely top of the list. 🙂
😂
Who would have thought that deep fried cake is bad for you :)
I’ve been watching “nutrition” for eighteen years. I’ve enjoyed watching this industry chasing its tail.
I've been watching for over 40 years. Same/same. I take a more conspiratorial view, though. Most the things recommended as healthful when I was young have proven to be extremely harmful. If it was an accidental phenomenon, it would have been half/half.
That's the problem, you've been tracking an industry. Nutrition recommendations have only incrementally changed over the past 30 years or so. I have before me, govt. recommendations from 25 years ago. In summary: eat fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains more often, lean meats, lower fat dairy in limited amounts reduce sat. fat., legumes, nuts and seeds minimise salt and sugar goods. Water should be main beverage. Follow recommended portion sizes for foods, exercise at least 150 minutes a week. Activities (like raking leaves) add up over time, etc. Sensible advice that no one followed because it is cooler to follow fads.
@@turntablesrockmyworld9315 What you're describing is the food pyramid which has been proven completely wrong.
@@Queef_Storm I am in Canada and never had the pyramid but rather Canada's Food Guide, and no it has not been proven wrong, there were some inaccuracies, but on the whole, it has generally has been shown to be effective as reduction of risk of major diseases. In Canada, a change about a decade ago was a shift to vegetables as a main source over carbohydrates as a main change. This does not mean other dietary patterns cannot be effective as compared to its recommendations, but in general a mediterranean-style diet now has overwhelming evidence that it is strongly associated with a reduction in cardiovascular diseases, type-2 diabetes, cancer, etc.
@turntablesrockmyworld9315, I agree with you, we need lots of vegetables and at least 2 fruits a day to get the minerals and vitamins necessary, plus meat, legume, nuts, good fat, we should try to eat real food and avoid processed and refined products. Fasting is also very good for your body.
Ever since I realized you weren't "V-Shred"... lol.... I've been binge watching all of your videos. Great stuff man! Seriously, love your content. Stumbled onto it via "What I've Learned", you started being recommended.
I know its not easy, but its always a good idea to find out who funds the study.
It is often indicated at the beginning (or bottom) of the publication, just where they state whether there is conflict of interest. The issue is that conflict of interest is something the researchers self-assess and self-declare, hence, credibility is often weak.
But this one is probably funded by sugar industry to prevent loss of profit. Just look how many happy folks are in the comments section who received "a blessing" to go back to eating sugar.
@@EA-ck4so I'd hope most of us who are hanging around this particular comment section know better than to jump back into the full SAD - the added sugars will add a bunch of extra calories, if nothing else, and none of us need that. But it does show why some people who eat pre processed, overpriced, off the shelf keto garbage aren't doing as well as those who stick to whole food sources of lean proteins and healthy fats even if they have a slightly higher carb count.
Good info, Thomas. Thank you.
To help avoid transfats, don’t use seed oils when cooking and when cooking with any oil, cook at as low of temperature as you can and don’t use oil at high temperatures, or for long periods of time. So, in other words, don’t eat fried foods of any kind.
air fry
Except bacon, and eggs, and steak, and lots of other lovely meats and animal fats.
Or use ghee, lard or tallow
I have heard this explained about transfats and insulin resistance/ diabetes, that the sugar, and to a larger degree, transfats were more the culprit. As a former NASH patient years ago I made progress away from doing those things you mentioned towards the end to reverse it.
What is NASH?

Exactly. I knew I had heard this in multiple places long before on this channel.

@@sixpackbinky Correct. He says sugar and refined carbs also lead to IR, but not as much as Trans Fats/Omega 6's do.

A recent study showed ROS was a larger driver of insulin release than glucose . Seed oils have been shown to me a massive driver of ROS.
There's a weird thing i try to figure out.
At home i am very strict on my eating to beat my insulin resistant. No matter what's my diet, only one single time breaking it, blood glucose jump significantly even though i am a very active person walking 2 hours daily plus other workout activities (swimming....).
But when traveling to Europe i eat ton of fruits, drink cocktails, hot wine (it's sweet), eat late and going to bed at 3,4 am most of the time. Wake up in the morning with blood sugar below 100. Isn't it amazing? I believe something about the ingredients in the food. I also drink a lot of fresh full milk and that doesn't bother my digestive at all. I randomly touch the dairy food, milk butter and cheese in the US that give me a lot of trouble. You barely see organic products in Italy markets and grapes in Europe are not sprayed with any chemicals.
I strongly believe we are eating bad food from bad sources and living in the bad environment in the US. Thinking to move away for longevity
I'm not fat at all, but I can say that intermittent fasting and being low carb, whilst avoid trans fats, seems to be working quite well. In combination with lifting weights, I'm losing fat but gaining muscle, which has me looking better than I ever have in the past.

@@disinformationworld9378 Is it the omega 6 / linoleic acid or just the seed oils? I'm so confused.
@@jpc9923 I decided to switch away from the keto/carnivore diet after my LDL got really high. The interesting with me is that before going keto for an elimination diet for Rosacea, my blood work was perfect. I was very insulin resistant also and I ate mostly carbs.
I think the key for good blood work is to be skinny with a 6 pack, this basically means you are burning any excess calories and not storing them.
Well I'm not some hardcore ketogenic type. I eat a fair amount of carbs, and on the weekends, I usually eat a normal amount of carbs that are comparable to anyone else. It's just a balancing act for me almost. A general reduction is a good thing. @@jpc9923

I appreciate you packaging all of this data and summary at the end. This lisf literally should be a poster in every doctor's office and taught in medical school. I won't use oil, except sesame, and eat out for 1 month. I'll do the exercise, fast, caloric intake, and decrease the amount of sugar. I'm sure I could lose my weight with your protocol. Thank you!
Just don't cook with sesame oil, as it is most likely to turn into a transfat, even at low temperatures. Avoid it.
I’d avoid all seed oils if possible. Organic VOO or avocado are better, if not using lard, ghee etc.

This has been known for a very long time. Eating excess calories over years will also cause insulin resistance because of fat accumulation. Kudos to Thomas for bringing forward what many keto influencers won't tell you.
The research has been telling us for a very long time indeed that when you equate for calories, protein and fibre the remaining composition (carbs and fats) matters a lot less than you think, even if those carbs are refined.
Telling someone to eat a balanced diet with sufficient protein and fibre, at maintenance calories (or in a slight deficit if you're overweight, or want to improve your bloodwork) isn't sexy though and isn't going to make all the usual Keto / Low Insulin zealots any money.
We all want that 'one weird trick' to melt belly fat overnight ; well here it is: eat marginally less than you need in a manner that is sustainable for you.
@@richardbirksPreach it! Moderation and self-control. Yeh, it ain’t sexy, but it works!
I don’t get the attack on Keto “influencers” - a true Keto style diet can be one of the most natural things and proven in the real world to be very effective and far more so than a typical western diet , nobody should blindly follow a black and white diet though , one of the main things should be first improve the quality of your gut biome - this is the main thing that process’s food ingested - it’s your motor and it needs to be efficient , then find the food that work best for you , there is zero wrong with natural organic fats and to try and claim it’s unhealthy is absurd when this is how the human body evolved , yes variety and moderation is key but to claim those who push Keto/paleo style diets are wrong is ridiculous based on one small study with small mammals in cages ! Currently the most reliable data comes from those who analyse people living in the blue zones .
@@richardbirks Funny and Ironic you say that because the real keto influencers know not to eat the kind of fats he is describing here. We ALREADY KNOW THIS. In other words, the problem was solved a long time ago and now THOMAS is the one trying to come up with content for his videos, to you guessed it... make money. I already unsubscribed to his buldspit but I keep getting videos because he probably pays for that too. No keto influencer is saying to eat crisco and margarine we know better than that. its called clean keto genius. I didn't reverse my diabetes by eating a "balanced" meal. he just keeps going further and further off course.
@@imjoeimjoe Exactly. DeLauer has been doing this for awhile now. Struggling with content to make money and comes up with these 're invent the wheel' type bullshit videos. That trans fats are bad has been known for decades.
In addition to all of this great information: different sugars metabolize differently. Look at the work of Robert Lustig from UC San Francisco. Fructose can also be very problematic, whether from high fructose corn syrup or fruit. In the school of nutrition I come from: you can 'play with sugar a little', but eating BAD fats causes serious damage to cell tissue
😂😂😂. Ok. We’ll tell that to the type 1 diabetics who implement a very heavy vegan fruit based diet.
I’ve seen their blood levels tested many times with More then perfect levels. And the ones who do best are the most fruit 😂
But sure. Avoid fruit
I remember the Hazards of Sugar - that video even got referenced in How to Drink's simple syrups video. 2:1 sugar syrups are shelf stable. Why? With 2/3 sugar by volume, ain't nothing growing in that delicious bottle of poison. So you can prepare them and just leave them out at room temperature for months with no mold as long as there is a stopper. Anaerobic bacteria cannot grow with that much concentrated sugar in their medium.
Interesting to know that probably trans fats don't just clog our arteries but cause insulin resistance as well. But trans fats are found in two forms - natural, which occur in some animal products and aren’t considered harmful, and artificial, which are hydrogenated vegetable oils and have serious health consequences. Important to know which type of trans fats were used in the animal experiments Thomas is citing.
Fats don’t clog arteries. That’s not how atherosclerosis works.

Thomas, I am a bit confused as trans fat have been banned in the US in 2018. I know small amount are naturally occurring in fats such as butter. Could you then please talk about this issue in a next video?
CLA (trans far) in butter is actually healthy. Seed oils have oxidised and trans fats; make of that what you will.
Yup, and when you cook canola, it’s turning to trans fat in the pan.
@@wilyliam When you read the chemistry literature, the generated amount of TFA with frying is trivial and certainly increases above the smoking point.The natural amount of TFA in seed oils is so trivial that I am not sure it is worth obsessing about. I think we need to keep focusing on the big picture.
I think when you heat olive oil it turns to trans fat also? But Avacado oil does not. But it smells weird to me?
After so many changes in dietary advice, I've settled on my one and only diet I will ever use or recommend - eat real food. That's all. Is it real food? Cool! Eat it. Is it processed food? Think twice, and consume sparingly. And aside from that, listen to your body, and eat what and when it wants you to. Your body knows what nutrients it needs, and whether or not it is ok to fast at that time.
Indeed, I think that you are right. Do not eat food that has been transformed by any other but yourself. You know what it is in it. There are so many delicious whole foods. I do not understand why we need all that industrial crap.
That sounds great. I’d back it up by actual blood work
That’s like a teenager saying only do what’s healthy. So that for him would move toward vaping. Pron. playing video games all day because he knows what his body wants
There’s a reason science exists so you know what is actually going on vs. what you believe is going on
@ssing7113 I think you've misunderstood my comment if you think a diet plan of eating unprocessed food, and fasting when your body feels up to it, is in any way similar to "vaping and playing video games all day".
As for "follow the science"... it keeps changing, which means that at least half of it is wrong (ie paid for by the food industry to get the results they want). So unfortunately, we can't rely on it.
Come on guys we know enough already. Fast as long as comfortable to you , sleep well, eat when you really give up fighting hunger, eat just to suppress hunger, eat slowly or have a break of couple of minutes during your meal, avoid garbage foods (we know them already) , start your meal with green vegetables, move more especially after the meal, practice whole body weight lifting exercises if you can , some HIIT exercises if you can. avoid stress if you can
Oxalates, fertilizers, and glyphosate with endocrine disruptors in veggies and fruits because of no bacteria, fungi, or nutrients in the soil is out. Carnivore and berries and kiwi from blue zones is about it. You don’t need toxic vegetables or fruits as they have 10k more natural pesticides than industrial. Facts!
Sugar industry is doing its thing again
This is a phenomenal video and share. Thank you for always keeping on the cutting edge of science and keeping us informed. I am not getting this passion for my health from the doctors my insurance company pays for, and your videos give me hope.
Dr Lustig mentions this in extent in Metabolical and recent TH-cam podcasts. It Makes sense in relation to symptoms such as gallstones as an example.
I used to think apple juice helped melt away the stones, which helped me extensively and discharged myself from surgical intervention, as a diabetic years later i wouldn't drink it for the sugar content. I still have odd gallstone pain (mainly an ache) but only when I've had something not "natural" as opposed to a nice juicy steak or fried breakfast, yet on the onset of gallstones I cut out all of the fatty meats such as pork, during my keto years and not having my gallbladder surgery due to symptoms going away, I never even remembered I had them.
That was a great book!
I was like you and I put it off for months. It would only act up once in a while and I could always sleep it off...until one day, Thanksgiving. That ache and side and severe back pain became really bad and did not go away. I nearly died and had it taken out.
Sometimes the root cause is the pancreas- other dysfunctions. Rapid weight loss can do it too. I hope you can keep yours. I miss mine! It is a very common and quick surgery- just find a fully qualified surgeon. Do this now, ahead of time just in case you need one. Private practice specialist- not just general hospital staff.
Good luck.
I absolutely love the rate of refinement and distillation of information in the health and wellness space. I know there's some fatigue around it for some, but I think it's absolutely beautiful.

I am a keto guy but do a higher protein and a lower fat and having great success with it.
You need to consume fat with protein.
@Nautilus1972 no you don't, been doing this for almost 6 yrs and it works great. There is not scientific stuff show u have to eat a high fat. Checkout Marie Emmerich as she been doing for over 20 yrs and she cooks for Holi Berry and had about 20 cook books out
You only need enough fat to make sure your stools are loose
Makes sense to reduce both the trans fats and added sugars or not over-consume them. Whatever we over consume will dictate how our bodies react. Our bodies basically get sick when we eat too much of one type of food. It puts a strain on the body and the body will get sick in trying to deal with it.
No.
@@bigglyguy8429it depends on the individual.
I tried the carnivore diet last year… super high quality pastured meat, followed all the latest ‘research’, took trace minerals and electrolytes. I ended up having constant chronic diarrhea that was so bad I ended up having to go see a gastroenterologist, I was killing my kidneys with the dehydration caused by the diarrhea from the carnivore diet… and on top of that I lost a third of my hair, I was extremely sick. The doctor told me to immediately stop the carnivore diet, after a few days everything normalized and I felt much better, never had chronic diarrhea again. It took a year for my hair to come back.

That Taco Bell is gonna cost you much more than just money

The 0 transfat number is a lie. They are allowed to round down for small amounts.
Trans fats are already partially banned in the US, you won't find them in anything if all you do is read the nutritional numbers, because they are required to be 0 per serving.
You have to read the ingredient list for all the scientific names it can be hidden under, because they still use it in small amounts and then round down on the total to display 0.
💩 all day and night. Some good with that
Taco Bell is gonna toll for you 😂
The issues with these studies is they didn't do a comparison with just sugar. I'd eliminated trans fats about 3 years ago, and still had insulin resistance and noticeable visceral fat. Went away when I cut out sugar, simple carbs, and snacks. I agree that trans fats will increase the problem, but like you said, attacking both is the best. 3 months after getting rid of simple carbs and sugar, I'd lost 3 inches in my waist, over 80% of it visceral fat. There is also the possibility that once you've had IR due to transfats and sugar,s the pancreas cannot completely recover with only the transfats being eliminated, as you are still assaulting it with high glucose levels.
This explains a lot. Ive known people that traveled out of the country and ate large amounts of carbs and junk food in vacations and they lost weight.
A lot of ingredients are banned in other countries that are in most processed foods in America.
We gotta start refusing to consume these things!
for real tho, education on food and nutrients is so important.
Just don’t buy anything in packages.
Yes, it’s known that in Europe their bread is much better than in America. Less gluten, less sugar.

This happened to me multiple times in my travels. Ate croissants, gelato, pizza, you name it. Stuff myself. Barely exercised and lost 10lbs each time.
According to the book written by Cyrus Khbatta, PHD, Mastering Diabetes, it is high fat, mostly animal fat, and not sugar, that causes type two diabetes.
I’d hope Robby is included in there as well
He doesn’t have the pedigree as Cyrus yet is just as knowledgeable
I think sugar is important once you become diabetic. My experience has been about the consumption of carbs, how many, and the serving size. I am talking about complex carbs, not simple carbs. I haven't had trans fats in 15 years and I still struggle with type 2. The best method I have experienced is losing visceral fat. You have to watch the type and amount of carbs you consume, no trans fats, no simple sugars, exercise hard, eat fat and protein, fast, and if you are insulin-dependent watch it carefully and get off it as soon as your health allows. Insulin will work against your efforts to lose weight. Is type 2 reversible? Kind of. Once you reverse the effects of type 2, you must maintain it or it will return. Bottom line, lose the fat and reverse your fatty liver then reversing type 2 will follow.
5:07 "Insulin resistance caused by the pancreas being dysfunctional"? I'm a bit rusty on this topic but I thought insulin resistance had to do with requiring an abundance of insulin due to an inability of insulin to effectively shuttle glucose into cells for energy metabolism. I agree that if the pancreas does not produce sufficient insulin then glucose levels would be elevated (textbook type 1 diabetes), but this would be different from insulin resistance (type 2 diabetes).
That's right. Pancreatic dysfunction leading to insufficient insulin being released would be diabetes, not insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is a feature of the cells in the muscles/liver/adipose starting to ignore the insulin, not the pancreas failing to produce it.
Also to add. Too much insulin causes a host of issues then along with the adrenals spitting out all day adrenaline and cortisol causing an acid like effect on organs and body tissue
Yea, I’m going to have a big bowl of olive oil, sugar and chocolate!! Glad to hear Sugar isn’t the insulin resistance culprit after all. This is crazy, insulin resistance is caused by sugar, oh wait, did we say sugar? We meant stress, it’s stress that causes insulin resistance. . . Oh wait, did we say stress? What we meant was trans fats cause insulin resistance. . . . And we’re also looking to see if breathing causes insulin resistance. All these studies keep looking at one thing at a time and our bodies don’t work like that. There are numerous things that work synergistically, and NOT everyone reacts the same way, that contribute to health and wellness vs sickness and disease.
I just saw an article and the Mayo Clinic says it’s now healthy to eat liquid margarine! 😳🙄🤪
Oil and sugar are hard to get in nature in a way we eat right now.
Oily grains are hard to farm working modern machines and chemicals. Many grains are hard to farm as well.
This causes the proportions to be upside down.
My father grew up on a farm in Eastern Europe, his father was farming with a horse. He said that vegetable oil was very rare, deep frying was not done at all and mostly they were eating some sort of soup.
Different types of carbohydrates sources were available, because plants need to be rotated without access to modern chemicals.

I’d assume it wasn’t popular for the fact of its hard shell that is unpleasant to most to crunch it. And just wasn’t prolly as popular as a staple as the demand wasn’t there.
All I’ve learned it was known as bird seed filler which birds love for sure. So I’m not sure there was a correlation to human consumption

I went years without eating a gram of refined sugar and now I eat about 100 grams of glucose/sucrose daily, love snacking on hard candy. I'm far leaner and have more energy and less psychological fatigue. I have no strict dietary restrictions.
I only try to limit foods that are high-calorie/low protein. Basically moderation with Snicker's bars, donuts, ice cream, or I look for low fat versions. Generally I limit cholesterol and saturated fat also, the evidence is solid for that protocol
Does olive oil become trans fat when heated above its smoke point ?
I wonder this too .. I mean and how do you exactly know how hot is too hot . I watched the Blue Zone documentary on Netflix and they were showing these people frying their food on olive oil while saying that olive oil was part of the reason it was a Blue Zone .
yes sugar + trans fats is synergistic - there is a catalytic function here.
the odd thing is that by looking at macro's and cutting 'carbs' I have cut at least 80% of the processed frankenfoods and the seed oils that come in the package.
This works perfectly. Whole foods are (obviously) the way to go. That's why any whole food diet sees at least "some" improvement, you're removing all the bullshit and letting your body heal. I'm a proponent of the keto/carnivore space, but bare minimum getting people on whole foods is a game changer for so many people.

@@gabeguzman9478 The fruit is healthy, the fructose is not. The fruit keeps you from overeating thus lowering the fructose intake. Fruit juice is worse than soda because it is marketed as "healthy" and "natural". Have you ever seen bottles and cartons grow at trees?
Great topic. There is a whole spectrum of peoples ability to break down consumed fats as well as construct the fats the body needs. The combinations of these abilities and disabilities toward fat metabolism is vast as well as the issues that can happen. Example: some cant break down saturated fats well but are fine with shorter chain fats. Others cant construct certain fats in the cell. On and on. All relates to enzyme function and other co-nutrient issues. The rabbit holes are deep.

The only one I've ever heard of that's healthy is CLA, which is a natural trans fat. My bet is natural is OK and "hydrogenated" is the problem.
@@disinformationworld9378 thats why i pointed this out... sadly idk if he will see my comment
Sounds obvious really, but it's kind of an incremental progression of what we know so far.
I just think about all the bad advice regarding health and weight over the years.
30 years ago my doctor told me I had a fatty liver. Surprised me (since I wasn't overweight), I was told to "cut down in my drinking" despite the fact that I drank very little. But, that was the belief at the time.
Later, it becomes apparent that alcohol is only a contributor to fatty liver and not the primary cause.
As an endurance athlete I was in the habit of carb loading. Then I find that's really likely contributing to the fattyness of my liver!
OK, so it looks like sugar is the poison killing my liver!? Fine I'm cutting down on that too.
At my age I was at THE epicenter of the trans-fats generation. Highly processed vegetable oils were considered more healthy.
So now this. Totally makes sense to me and honestly seems pretty obvious when you think about it.
The sudden glut of carnivore dieters. What would be something they DON'T consume? Trans-fats (& sugar)
Of course in a few years we may find out this is wrong, but it certainly . . . . feels right.
I mean if we clog up the liver with trans-fats, then it only makes sense that it will get inflamed and have difficulty processing the sugar, carbs, and alcohol! 😮
I was diagnosed with diabetes a few years ago. I eliminated saturated fat from my diet and reversed the diabetic blood glucose readings within one week. It’s absolutely fat that causes insulin resistance. Unfortunately everyone who has prediabetes and diabetes are avoiding carbs to avoid glucose spikes which is making them increasingly insulin resistant. This exacerbates the problem which is insulin resistance.
Yep. Not much to add.
For those with diabetic symptoms don’t treat the carbs. Fear the fats
Its importanly about cell membrane fluidity and thus the ability of transporters (GLUT4) to migrate.
The quality of fatty acids in the diet of course directly affects the composition of fatty acid bilayer in the cell membrane.
This has been known for at least 20 years, because thats how long i've been aware of it.
I eat tons of fruit, vegetables, and grains. I am 58, NO medications at all, BP 105/72, resting HR mid 40's, never felt better/stronger. Walk 3-4 hours every morning and I do intermittent fasting. My cousin does Keto and has real good results also. The key to this is "Fasting", NO snacking in between, and NO processed foods. I only eat home cooked food.
Fasting is very helpful. But execessive trans and saturated fats may contribute to wrecking the arteries over a long period of time.
@@rsalehi6568if your fasting the body is cleaning itself up
hey thomas thank you very much for your knowledge and enthusiasm, we would love to have a video about micro plastics, this subject realy spiked my intrest and it seems you have'nt published any video about it, thank you very much!
Who funds research studies is as telling as what the study reveals.
WHO does.
The article in question is funded by: The Japan Food Chemical Research Foundation.
Maybe I'm missing something but do they have some interest in this?
I made a new diet for myself. I call it the fist diet. Since the stomach is the size of my fist than for me that is all I should eat, only a fist size portion of food. Mostly home cooked meals. No sweet food or drinks. I only eat twice a day, lunch and dinner making sure dinner is exactly at 6pm. Drinking water only because I feel the kidneys always need to be clean or purified. I started 2 weeks ago. I have lost 14 lbs, and whats amazing my knees would hurt and swell when walking especially on concrete. My knees are not swollen anymore and don't swell walking on concrete. I have painful muscle spasms every day but they started becoming less. I haven't had one in the last four days. I would clear my throat constantly and I had lost the tone in my voice when I would sing and I have loved singing since I was a child. Now my throat stays clear and the tone has come back to my singing voice. Also my eyes looked yellowish all the time and I thought it was age. Now my eyes are white. I also don't fall asleep without knowing it because I feel lite and have a lot of energy. My tongue always felt swollen and it's small again. Thr bible said do not be guttonous and I feel especially now with my results that eating more than you should and the added products destroy our bodies. I only eat the size of my stomach truthfully the results has been amazing.
I feel like Thomas is anxious at anything at this point. Like whenever he moved to a new way of eating, he will find new studies to support his new ways of eating. I followed Thomas while he was doing keto, I am totally fine with him switching to low carbs. But the at least the title card don't have to be this clickbait, like he is continuously disproving his last idea. Keto, paleo, Carnivore, even Vegan...just do what you feel right, you don't have to drag yourself into this kind of constant science debate.
It's called click bait. It's sensationalism to keep us viewing. He'll say anything to attract views.
so based on this video I would say that even at the cleanest levels of nutrition, we shouldn’t combine red meat and high glycemic carbs. I’ve been experimenting with the fruit and meat diet for a while and during that whole time I weighed 10 lbs more than my time in keto. I was eating a lot of red meat (which does have trans fats believe it or not) and all organic fruit. (For reference, I’m a very lean and athletic human being)
so with that being said, from this point forward I’m gonna try eating only low carb vegetables with red meat (because I’ll never give up steak) and higher glycemic carbs with chicken and fish (which have 0 trans fats)
Thanks Thomas for always reading all research and breaking it down for us. 🙏🏼
You were prolly not tracking calories.
I’d highly doubt pound for pound and calorie intake for calorie intake, fruit made you fat 😂
Why then are vegans who eat 5 bananas for breakfast emaciated looking then. Because they don’t eat enough calories simply.
What’s funny is I am athletic as well. I was vegan and went adding meat to my diet along with my high fruit and that’s how I was able to achieve my six pack finally is in the state you describe made you fatter
nice assumption but you’re wrong about me.
I eat way more calories on a low carb diet but I’m much leaner/lighter than when I added fruit. and your experience/results are because you came from a vegan lifestyle, whereas I never stopped eating meat. maybe you got your six pack because you finally added animal based proteins, but for me I needed to cut fruit to be lighter. try not to assume other peoples BASELINES, we’re all here trying to learn what may or may not benefit our own individual experiences, not argue.
For me it has to be fasting over 18 hours. Anyone else find that just skipping breakfast doesn't work the way it used to?
Work with insulin dependent diabetics has shown that high gluten wheat like al dente pasta and pizza crust may require up to double the insulin per gram of carbs, extended over up to 12 hours to manage. This has been confirmed by Harvard research. The probable mechanism is a direct stimulation of glucagon and possibly stress hormones as the gluten bound starch granules transit the intestines. Type 1 diabetics often have to run extended boluses of insulin for high gluten wheat products, and the extended boluses may end up containing 150%-200% as much insulin as an equal number of carbs from something like potatoes or lower gluten bread products.
I give up; I feel exhausted by all of this... it's like being in front of a reinforced door and being handed ONLY wrong keys. It is so frustrating wanting to just slim down. I'd be happy staying in a size 34 😢
Just as there are white people, dark people, tall, short, etc. There are slim people and fat people just because
I know you probably don’t want to read this but after many diets…carnivore worked best for me. I eat eggs as well. Lots of water and your minerals…( plus walk walk walk)

Hey Vegans, Transfats come mostly from oxidizing of Vegetable oil, which is Vegan. The other noted substance, sugar, is also vegan. Yep, such a healthy diet.
I've always heard the big issue causing insulin resistance isn't sugar or even carbs, but rather eating constantly all day long. Breakfast, snack, lunch, snack, dinner, desert, snack...
Great info. I wish there was a continuous insulin monitor I could wear. Keeping my blood sugar low doesn’t seem to make much of a difference to my insulin levels. I don’t eat trans fats anymore but it would be nice to know how long this is going to take to reverse the damage I’ve already done.
Check out mastering diabetes. They explain the disease and what to do about it the best.
We all know trans fats are an issue, but so are saturated fats. Intramyocellular lipids (IML) from animal saturated fat is the real cause of insulin resistance, because it inactivates insulin receptors. Processed sugar just makes it worse. This is mainly why Whole Food Plant Based Nutrition actually reverses Type 2 Diabetes, because it helps to clear out the IML from cells, since we aren't consuming it anymore. Keto merely "artificially" decreases blood sugar without getting to the root cause. Dr. Neal Barnard and others talk about this, please look into it!
@@bryant475 exactly
@Galaxy-Goat they specified continuous *insulin* monitor, for which there are indeed none. But Dexcom and Freestyle Libre are two CGMs.
@@bryant475I've seen a ton of research on keto and carnivore reversing type 2.
One of the best channels, I find! Very evidence based and presentation is very clear and collected. And still it is not a surface view! Good job! Mighty impactful!
Now I haven’t watch the video yet, so I am speaking prematurely, but speaking for myself as a type 2 diabetic- I had to laugh because it took researchers to finally figure that out. It’s complicated but it’s more related to what your hormones are telling your body to do or not do. And that your body doesn’t do what your hormones are telling it to do. I fasted for 17 days water only the first three days my sugars naturally started coming down. No longer needed my insulin/meds. After the eighth day, my blood sugar started going back up as my body adapted and became more efficient with fasting. Still 9 more days with water only yet elevated blood sugars.
Let’s celebrate cindy over a bucket full of ice cream and Krispy Kreme doughnuts
Dr. Boz explains why that happens!
Okay, but you can't fast all the time. That's not a sustainable solution.
Just cut out all seed oils from your diet. Walla.

Hi Thomas! Been watching and subscribed for awhile, love your videos thank you. I have also tried to thrive. I am looking to kickstart my fitness and health routine in the next month or two and am wondering if you have a video that talks about how to start up your fitness and health routine, especially after a long period of not exercising. Is there any kind of best practice scientific method to RAMP back up, are there certain vitamins or minerals you might want to take as your body starts adjusting to its new lifestyle? Especially for older folks over 45, I really want to hit the ground running and while I have had a cardiogram lol I am thinking ..it would be a bummer If I jumped on a treadmill / bike and died the first week of a heart attack while trying to get back into the flow lol I was hunting through and didn't see any vids but you have ALOT :)
So cool😊 So true. I have gone from 92 kilos too........73 kilos without really trying. It fell off. Feeling healthy. Just working on the exercise bit. Excellent video so right. THANK YOU VERY MUCH❤😊
Regardless of what the root cause of diabetes is, sugar in all its forms has a deleterious effect on the body’s organs (especially the liver), gut/mouth microbiome and is a neurotoxin and significant culprit in cognitive decline. If you do enough research on this topic, how could it escape a cognitively well-adjusted person that this century plus sugar storm and processed food scheme were deliberate?

"Brief exposures to *polyunsaturated fatty acids* can damage the *insulin-secreting cells of the pancreas* and the mitochondria in which oxidative energy production takes place. Prolonged exposure causes progressive damage. Acutely, the free polyunsaturated fatty acids cause capillary permeability to increase, and this can be detected at the beginning of “insulin resistance” or “diabetes.” After chronic exposure, the leakiness increases and albumin occurs in the urine, as proteins leak out of the blood vessels. The retina and brain and other organs are damaged by the leaking capillaries."
Ray peat has talked about this since the 70s...
Sugar (a naturally occuring compound in the body in the form of glucose and glycogen) was never the problem.
PUFA locking it OUTSIDE of the cell is....
And just so happened to become a staple in 1950s American food supply chain right before American waistlines exploded girth.
Ps, pufa isnt the only thing that causes insulin resistance, ie... Radiation, stress, bodily injury and chemical exposure can cause even more. But PUFA happens to be the most damaging in food.
Start your video off by telling what the main cause is. Building up to it reminds me of the average huckster wanting money.
Agreed

Heard on another channel recently that if you cook rice or pasta (or potatoes ?), then let it cool for at least 12 hours in the refrigerator before reheating it and eating it, it will spike your system significantly less than before.
Reducing sugar intake is essential for health and longevity. Controlling insulin levels is crucial for managing blood sugar. Fasting can help regulate insulin by reducing glucose intake, allowing the body to use stored energy. However, it's essential to monitor fasting periods carefully and consult a healthcare professional for guidance, especially for individuals with diabetes or other health concerns. I've neem on OMAD for almost 1 year and I'm never going back to 3 square meals a day!
ok chatGPT
Yes...BUT....take a deeper look into what actually keeps insulin high longer.
Protein and fat keeps insulin stable three hours after eating. This is true. But several hours after, the overall insulin is HIGHER than it is after just a a fruit meal.
@@carmaela2689 I only anti processed / refined sugars .. go hard on fruit i say
so hard and deep I guess...
MANY of the foods that have trans fats are always carbohydrate rich.. such as fried foods (trans fat / carb heavy) and baked goods (trans fats / carb heavy / sugar heavy)
I'm curious , how much sugar is contained in the food and drink sold by Thrive ?
Yeah, looks like packet food to me i.e. processed food :(
Foods high in purine are also a factor for non alcoholic fatty liver as they are metabolized, uric acid is produced and this uric acid acts as a trigger to store fat in the liver.
Bad carbs and seed oil's are high on my list to avoid.
I am on a low spike diet! 😂
Spikes can be good at the right time, such as after or during exercise and when eating protein, provided it comes back down quickly. I've used a CGM and monitored the result of a protein shake and some shrimp (read: very little fat) after a heavy workout. My sugar spikes for about 45 minutes and it's back at baseline in a little over an hour. That's probably about 15 grams net carbs and 50g protein. I was diagnosed diabetic five years ago, and went keto in response.
As for "bad carbs and seed oils" that's 100% correct. I avoid them. I avoid pretty much all carbs except crucifers and other non-starchy vegetables and non-sweet fruits with the exception of post-workout high-protein binges.
PS: I meant to point out that the "good" is that the spike corresponds to an insulin spike, which shuttles the protein into your muscles.
Yes, 100%! As a person with type 1 diabetes I can tell you that all fat, not just trans fat, causes insulin resistance. Anything more than 15g fat per meal/snack causes acute insulin resistance for about 4-8 hours. I love my healthy fats, but just something to be mindful of and careful not to overdo.
I have been hearing for just a few years this idea that higher carbs can be tolerated fairly well in a context of somewhat low fructose and VERY low seed oils and very low transfats. (Real Food, etc.) I think this may be right, but I still suspect that for people who developed Insulin Resistance on the standard American diet, or who have carb cravings related to that, or who are currently obese -- those people may need to stay on keto, or something close to it. And I think they will do fine.
This is where the low fat vegans come in. It’s not all black and white low carb. It depends on your body and whether it likes all veggies or not
As a type 1 diabetic who has previously followed a whole food low fat plant based diet. You are correct. Your body becomes more efficient at processing carbs. When your body becomes more efficient at processing carbs you then require less insulin becoming more insulin sensitive. I use low carb and low fat plant as tools to boost my insulin sensitivity
I suggest you look at the guys at mastering diabetes I think it’s called. Two type 1 who eat extremely high carbs and fruit
The one guy who eats the most fruit has the best blood levels .. go figure.
Confounding variables. Most foods that contain trans fats either also contain refine carbohydrates or are served alongside refined carbs.
Wait.. Didn’t Thomas say that “he has changed his mind on fasting?” Following this guy used to be fun.. Now it’s like a practice in insanity.
Yep. New video new different style every day 😂
This guy is just for the clicks. I’d like to see his blood test results as he’s either on PED or somehow he was gifted the genetic lottery of genes. Working out. Personality to even keep up working up
Dude is not doing fully legal things that he says in his videos. That’s for sure. Go look at any natural person who works out. It’s near impossible to look like that for that long with assistance from the medical pharmacy cornucopia
I remember. The deal the process food Industry made about transfats and their reported analysis on the label. The sample size for testing is made so low, that the level of detection is very low, meaning the test may only detect levels above say 0.5% or even higher. So, all those labels saying 0% transfat may be hiding that there is significant transfat there, just that the test could not detect this transfat. This is just another reason to avoid manufactured foods with such labels, particularly fried foods, even without labels.
I learned lately that Omega 6 is also the culprit and the less the better.
A high Omega 6 / Omega 3 ratio is associated with high inflammation (not necessarily insulin resistance, but not good.)
