Anybody els notice how polite Dr. Bikman is everytime is he asked a question?
He is a total sweetheart
i am addicted to his lectures
Me too!
Me too
Best addiction ever!
Same here!!
Better than sugar LOL!
Absolutely love Dr.Bikman! I never get tired of listening to his lectures, what a wealth of knowledge!
I often despair about the internet/ technology.
But this account, these interviews etc are beyond brilliant - how would an uneducated 60yr office worker in New Zealand 🇳🇿 ever be exposed to such educated, intelligent, wise passionate experts…explaining things in a way that I can understand.
I can’t thank you enough 🙏🙏🙏
So true! I'm so much more aware of life's dynamics because of reality based truths disseminated by specialized individuals like Dr. Ben Bikman. I can't imagine life without information at my fingertips. 😊
Tech is a double edged sword.
Dr. Bikman is an incredible teacher. Great information.
Dr. Ben Bikman is THE expert I had been looking for. Oh, sure... there are others I follow as well, but HE is brilliant and always helpful!
I am so glad I watched this and got to hear Dr. Bikman speak on plant-based proteins from an unbiased, scientific perspective. I was vegetarian turned vegan for a total of 15 years and now that I’m eating animal protein with the fat, I feel so much better, nourished and truly fed. Great interview. Thanks for having Dr. Bikman on your platform. I’m a big fan. He is wonderful, knowledgeable and caring human. 🙏
Good for you for the right thing and not be a slave to dogma.
I’ve been a WFPB vegan for 6 years. I’m trying out this way of eating. Hope it works for me. It’s definitely a VERY different lifestyle.
@@angielocks what is "WFBP"?
@@1truthseeking8 whole food plant based
He's been soundly debunked. His data is restricted to short term studies and yes, a low carb diet does well in the short term, but stretch it out for a few more years and it fails. Long term studies support whole food plant based diets as much superior with considerably better long term health and longevity.
I'm 5 weeks in on a carnivore/keto. And the traditional snack after dinner is the HARDEST to resist. I'm not hungry..just addicted
Agree!
Best advice here in my opinion: Find the exercise that you enjoy. That way you won't be inconsistent or even stop.
Kudos to interviewer and Dr👍
Love to hear anything from Ben Bikmam. Such a great person
I'm so glad he described his own diet with such honesty & realism.
His own diet is horrendous. Pizza and spaghetti for dinner lol.
@omrit2 he said he only eats the pizza toppings. Cheese, meat vegetables etc.
Dr. Bikman has literally changed my life. I can’t believe it. He is the first of any carnivore/keto/low carb guys that I’ve ever listened to that could explain everything I needed to know in a dumbed down way so I could understand it. Before I was just hoping I was doing it correctly and now I completely understand why I will and won’t be doing certain things and how each thing benefits me. I am having a much easier time sticking to carnivore now that I have as much of an understanding of insulin as I do. Thank you so much Dr. Bikman. You and God have given me more in the past few months than I could ever have dreamed of. Thank you thank you thank you.
hayhem .. Why ... 😢Drs of today urgently not only need self study, deeper study of mans physiology, anatomy, micro 'n macrocosm nature healing & re-orientation in medical world, Fasting cures, yes or no to medicine pills. All shud Know yr body best, & be yr own dr.
Lack of deeper authentic knowledge sciences. Let patients hav choice of healing thru' allopath, homeopath, bio chemic, ayurvedic, surgery/no immediate surgery, nature cure I. F. (intermetint fasts) self healing etc.
You've been misled.

@@sidneybuckaloo Go eat your celery, troll!!!
@@sidneybuckalooHe's a vegan troll 😄
This an excellent lecture that summarizes why metabolic disease and insulin resistance is the center and base for most diseases of modern time. Dr. Ben Bikman is an excellent speaker and scientist
Nails with ridges and cracks can indicate thyroid dysfunction and iodine also can help with this, I never knew collagen could help, thanks again 😍😍😍
“We’ve reached the limit of what I know on that topic.” This is the hook that made me subscribe.
Dr. Bikman is so articulate in the research he has been guided to do, accomplished and presents to us. Blessings to you and always very much appreciated. 🙏❤️
This is the best video on this subject. Period. Great interview and Dr Bickman is the best ever. Between him and Jason Fung they are the reason I lost 125 pounds and have kept it off. Simply watch this a couple times and you’ve got the basics of weight loss and health.
Then later you can fine tune and play around with other healthy habits. But this needs to be the foundation. Thank you!!!
Diet is easier to control.
Diets to prevent or control insulin resistance.
1. Control carbohydrates.
Avoid refined carbs. Eat unprocessed carbs such as fruits and veges. Eat, not drink .
Elevated
2. Prioritize protein. It has high satiety.
3. Don't fear fat? In nature , the best protein comes with fat. Fat helps protein digest better. . Should not fear fat?
Meat , dairy and eggs are most nutritious source of protein.
4. Fast
Allow insulin to go down by fasting.
Plant based protein :
Not dense
Has anti- micronutrients ( heavy metals , .
Antinutrients block absorption of other food's nutrients. ( inhibit digestion of other nutrients )
To neutralize Antinutrients,, by fermentation
To couple plant proteins with some fruit fat ( nuts such as coconut, olives, avocado, ) and animal fat.
Offendersantinutrients in plant protein: example, soy proteins has phytic acid. Peas with tannins
Seed oils :
Example is Linoleic acid in soybean and avocado:
Linoleic acid promotes growth of fat cells thru hypertrophy and inhibit multiplication. . Fat cells grow with insulin with hypertrophy , becoming insulin resistant.
Fat cells multiply but same insize; but fat cells itself can grow in size , this type of gain is bad and inflammatory and become insulin resistant. .insulin resistance starts with the fat cells. Then insulin resistance thru out the body.
For plant seeds with Linoleic acids, like peanuts,avocados,soybean : the damage from Linoleic acid is by peroxidation. If can oxidize the Linoleic acid instead of peroxidation.then it is harmless. If can prevent peroxidation by oxidation ( burning the fat),Then it becomes benign, as in avocado . So because avocado comes with vitamin E , it is oxidized , not peroxidized.
Typical diet :
Breakfast: protein- heavy and low carb, like crepes ( egg, flour) , scrambled eggs with bacon, omelette.
Lunch - little to no carbs
Meat or shakes.
Dinner- portion control
Nothing for the rest of night.
Should have normal body fat up to puberty.
When it comes with chips, eat protein first, before the chips.
Vitamin C important :
It create collagen .
Alternatively can eat collagen as collagen peptides but it is broken down as amino acids.but these can still be used to build collagen in the body.
I’ve learned more about nutrition in the last hour than I have in the past 38 years of my existence. Definitely following this man.
I think Dr. Bikman should add "bottles" to his "bags & boxes with barcodes" statement.
and cans
In another video he did, carbohydrates should not be ingested via drinking them.
Just about everything has a barcode these days, even some fruit and vegetable items. Better to say, avoid food items which have a list of ingredients.
I have listened to this intently 2 times now and I feel like I can still improve my health by following the patterns suggested. Thank you.
Primary causes of insulin resistance:
1.stress and rise of cortisol and epinephrine
2. Inflammation- rise in cytokines ( inflammatory mediators /chemicals.
3. Chronically elevated insulin. Too much insulin will cause insulin resistance.
It is difficult to control stress, inflammation but insulin is easier to control or reduce.
Secondary causes
Linoleic acids, uric acids
3.
Linoleic acids, omega 6 fromseed oils, uric acids.
As Dr Ken Berry said.... You can show a doctor knowledge but you can’t make him think..
Also, medical doctors are required to tow the line or else face legal action to suspend their license. Also, many doctors are heavily influenced by big pharma.
Dr Bikman is not one of them. He is a generous thinking/sharing doctor of great importance to us, the patients and consumers of groceries... Hoping the supermarkets are taking notice that we don't visit/shop the middle of the stores, lol Please give us. better organic, grass-fed protein, ie meat choices!
Thanks Dr Bikman! 😊
Thank you for this great information and wonderful guest!
Never realized the best inputs with regards to health practices until now ,thank you Soo much Dr.bikman am a fan now and resolved to be following you ...
Dr. Bikman is amazing! Read your whole book and gained a whole lot of understanding how metabolic imbalance happens, and it could be a number of things, and we just need to follow the protocol of limiting stress for cortisol, our nutrition, cut the crappy carbs bottom line, and give it time for our healing. I hope to meet you Dr. Bikman, I live out here in Utah! Just hoping you were going to be at the keto chow convention, when Dr. Berry was out here a few months ago..🙏🏽💜😍
This was sooo good. Thx for this video. Learned sooo much .
Thanks a lot for having Dr Bikman Great interview ❤
Excellent detailed information about healthy lifestyle
I love skipping breakfast, or having an early dinner as my last meal to achieve intermittent fasting. I feel less hungry in general when I do this as long as I drink enough water (no other beverage during fast) and eat healthy whole foods (no sugar and limited carbs). And I seem to have more energy.
I can not sleep on an empty stomach!!! I eat a big keto meal in the evening (OMAD), have sheep yogurt with mascarpone as desert. This makes me sleep well. No insulin spike after a keto meal!!! Sleeping after a big meal is natural. Lions do so, dogs do so. (They do not eat carbs)
I've heard Dr Chaffee say that he does this as well.
Same here! Going to bed hungry is the worst. I probably lose an hour to an hour and a half of sleep just trying to block out my hunger pains and stomach grumbles. And drinking a bunch of water to curb the hunger leads to me waking up at 3am needing to go pee. Lol. It can be tricky timing dinner and sleep. Everyone is a little bit different. I think the key is really getting in some solid protein and fat at dinner. It's really the only thing that keeps me satiated for 4+ hours leading to bed time.
I don't think Ben means going to bed hungry. I think he is right about carbing or sugaring meal late in the day .A keto Carnivore meal early in the day or at least four hours before bed will be less problematic. I think if you need to digest or rest you can't do both.
@@karenohanlon4183 Rest and digest go together. The para-sympathis nervous system is involved in rest and digestion. Digestion has to be done in rest, not during physical activity. Activity turns on the sympathic nervous system, the fight or flight system. This one stops digestion. And of course, over eating before bed is not good. Over eating is never good.
Great video. I'm on a carnivore diet. Ditched BREAD, ALL FLOUR BASED FOOD, PASTA AND RICE.
You answered my question. My A1C went up .1 and my diet had not changed. I forgot I had a cold and a UTI in January, and another UTI last month. I had forgotten that infections raise glucose.
Your also eating too much sugar.
The main question is "Why the UTI'S?" I would find the answer to that one. I bet you took an antibiotic when you got the first UTI and then followed up with another UTI because the antibiotics knocked out your defense soldiers (good bacteria) and your bad bacteria ravaged your urinary tract again. Next time, take the herb UVA URSI in capsule form made by Nature's Sunshine for a month and stop the unhealthy cycle.
Tous ce qu'il dit es absolument vrai il décrit ce que je ressens c'est lumineux. Merci beaucoup 😅❤
I absolutely agree with your thoughtful well researched presentation in a easily inderstandable way for ordinary people. Not difficult to follow. You made clear some misconceptions.
Dr Z Hasan MBBS, MD
Loveee this podcast! Learnt so much!! Thanks Dr Bikman!! ❤
When you exercise or have physical activity, - muscles uses glucose , and helps insulin to come down , then metabolic rate goes up , and the body converts into fat- burning.
When insulin goes down , the metabolic rate goes up, and vice versa.
The body has 2 primary fuels to get enrgy :
Glucose( sugar) burning or fat burning .
Insulin determines which fuel will be used.
When insulin is elevated , - the body is in sugar burning mode, it is difficult to lose weight if the body is in constant burning mode with sugar as fuel.
When insulin is low, the body will use body fat to burn as fuel.
Weight loss has 2 processes ( low insulin and low calorie approaches) .
One should precede the other.
Start with reducing insulin :
- eat when hungry and don't eat when not hungry.
- ( control carbs, prioritize protein don't fear fat)
Insulin will come down , metabolic rate will go up and body will go into fat burning mode( state of meiosis with ketones) .
In some this is enough;in some of is not enough, Then go into low calorie step : fasting
Can use fats like olive oil, butter with protein , with fasting ( alternate day or intermittent fasting ) .
So now, combine low insulin and low calorie approaches
The 3 top to care for metabolic health:
1. Lower your insulin thru dietary intervention
Insulin activate MTOR
2. Stop eating at dinner to sleep well .
- Should not go to bed with elevated glucose level. Don't spike glucose because it activates the
Sympathetic nervous system- the " fight or flight " nervous system ( symptoms of fast heart rates and anxiety and higher body temperature )
Don't eat within a 3 hour window minimum, before bedtime or eat dinner 3 hours before bedtime .
Big lunch, smaller or modest dinner.
Good sleep is essential to proper immunity and will help in better aging
Have a life philosophy to help your priorities in relationship. Make sure you have strong bonds with family.
Thank you. 🙏💫
There is zero scientific evidence in humans that eating before bedtime (even carbs) disrupts sleep.
i love to listen this...
Life changing content.
Great interview!
Just a note to fix in chapters is the collagen section begins around 33’ mark not 45’.
How am I still alive? I've been eating before bed for 50 years. But it does explain a lot
He is a great family man 😍 ❤
I've been doing intermittent fasting/OMAD (One meal a day)for 3 years now,I'm in great metabolic health..
Very good advice indeed
I had that problem for the last few months. Two doses of boron fixed those splits and my nails started growing. Within 48 hours I noticed healing and growth. Just thought I'd share.
What brand & strength & form?
@@skinnydee1886just any regular boron supplement....
What problem insulin?
Thank you 🙏❤️

44:29 summary
Excellent talk!
Was diagnosed with full on metabolic syndrome in January. I have had very high stress levels as a doctor since 2016-17. I'd always been lean till i started gaining weight around that time. Mostly all visceral fat, I just put it down to metabolism slowing down completely after 30, because I've always been lean without ever thinking about how much I eat.
Started carnivore diet in February, in 2 months I've lost 17 kgs (83kgs->66kgs), I'm 5'3. I feel so much healthier, and almost like in my teens and 20s again.
I’m a woman who has spent £’s on nail strengthening products because my nails used to split and flake. I heard a tip on TH-cam about consuming the thin white layer of tissue between the hens egg shell and the raw egg and adding this to my eggs on the plate. This single change in my diet has given me strong and long finger nails.....result! ✅
That's interesting!
How did you extract that layer though? Would hard-boiled eggs have the layer included?
@@yuvaryugam3434 I mostly eat fried eggs with runny yolks. I crack them gently in the pan and take each half shell in turn, peeling the thin layer of tissue away from the inside of the shell. This can be tricky and I rarely get all of the tissue, but it’s enough, and I put it on the eggs and eat it all as if the tissue wasn’t there. Never tried it with hard boiled eggs.
Stop asking for reply !
No
@@yuvaryugam3434😡
Gr8 to hear your comments about processed carbs. How much protein do we need according to our weight?
I do 18 hour fasting, so my tummy is empty by 1pm. I wont eat again until 7 am next day.
I do like what he has to say. Makes sense.
Makes things clear
Prof Ben’s teachings I trust. I would just like to know from him if dairy contributes to inflimation in the body. 21:27
Fantastic book… read it 6 times… maybe more and refer back to it with all my yellow highlights
Great esteem for the open honesty when talking about husband and father! I'm an husband and father and i fully relate to what said. Qq: is it true insulin is naturally lower in the evening thus carbs may be "less harmful" at dinner? Thanks 🙏 great interviews
If you are going to eat carbs, eat them after you've had your protein and fat. Dr Bikman says that. Another doctor, Dr. Boz says it's best to have all of your carbs before three in the afternoon.
I have heard Dr Bikman say in a different talk, if you're going to eat carbs, it's better to eat them in the evening.
No, it's the other way around.
So, there you go!
NO STRAIGHT ANSWER!
Wow, arsenic in vegetables! I get night cramps from almonds that are often times mixed with some apricot seeds, especially in Marzipan and other nuts as well. If you get night cramps, some nuts might be the cause. It certainly is for me.
Please have a research on effect of prolonged water fast on insulin resistance
Activating sympsthetic nervous system
This is his best to date. A tip: no need to use wheat flour. Consider sprouted spelt flour from Natural Grocers. Sprouting destroys gluten.
Amen! 🙌💯
I was taught that sugars digest in the small intestine as do proteins, but if we eat sugars from fruits or carbs, different enzymes are released that interfere with the way the protein breaks down. How does the entire digestive system function in concern with what time to eat sugars/carbs an proteins?
Thank you #DrDanjuma for being such a caring doctor during my time of need. You really helped me during a hard time with my infections,your personality made me feel at ease on our first discussion😎😎😎
So true. Go to bed hungry and you will sleep SOOOO good!
Can confirm.
How do you recommend taking collagen?
Are supplements a good idea?
I've never had white sugar, I have a teaspoon of raw jaggery powder in a coffee made with Coconut milk powder and a touch of unsalted butter each morning....just one coffee each day, and boy do I look forward to it!
When I had burnout and tried to sleep on empty stomach I couldnt sleep until 2am
Omgosh I get nail splits and peeling very bad. Could not figure out the cause. I will try collagen. Thanks!
Could you do a lecture on body Weight set point and how to change it?
Body weight set point is an outmoded philosophy that is now considered archaic. We know soooo much more now about metabolism and metabolic health than we did in the 1980's.
If you have to come up with scientific methods to extract protein from plants … this is a no go. Nutrients need to be consumed in a natural form.
Thank you so much for this podcast I I am increasing more protein and fat in my diet but I do have high LDL cholesterol genetic so that's my only concern with eating meats and fat because they do raise LDL my HDL is tremendous but I'm still concerned with my high LDL levels I'm also limiting fruits in my diet I used to eat five fruits a day now I'm down to two fruits a day which is good
The longest living humans on earth have high LDL it is a carrier of hormones and has bein wrongly demonised. Particular size is important. Large and fluffy is good, small will cause arterial wall damage. Eat clean and healthy with butter and limit seed oils and u should have large fluffy LDL particles 😊
Please check out Dr David Diamond's talks and papers on cholesterol and you will have a better understanding of LDL.
Limit your carbs and sugars to bring down your triglycerides. That is ratio to use: TRIGS ÷ HDL. Keep it under 2.
The interviewer is good
How is a regular person trying to lose weight supposed to know their insulin levels? What is the right number to keep insulin at?
Check out Dr Annette Boswell’s channel. You can measure Glucose and ketones in the morning. Glucose divided by ketones is a way to measure your insulin.
There's a fasting insulin test. Also high triglycerides generally indicates higher insulin levels and higher blood pressure also indicates higher insulin
Have your doctor add a fasting insulin level test the next time he draws blood. Mine was 13.3. My A1C was 4.1. The lowest the A1C can be is 4.0.
Some of us eat to live, some live to eat. I've noticed the better quality food I choose (mostly carnivore) the less time and money spent on food, the healthier I feel. I've LADA. I use insulin, bmi 22.3
Thanks very much.
I'm/ have become allergic to a lot of high protein foods, casein, eggs.
I passed these allergies on to my children either because I had leaky gut, or because of the way we pass antibodies through breast milk etc.
I already have heavy metal, small cyst on thyroid, extremely underweight and I eat fine..
@melissafarrugia..hi melissa just wondering how much water you are drinking per day and sugar intake. Cereals, bread, and grain also?
Look into NAET it suppose to help with allergies. Made a huge difference for my nephew.
I love the elephant god who is Ganesh in the background of the interviewer. Hope he knows the painting is not just a piece of art.
Is the term “insulin resistance” synonymous with the Randell cycle in which the cells are full and refuse anymore energy? I keep hearing Bart Kay say that insulin resistance is not a thing.
Bart Kay is a stickler for words. He at times is a little too dogmatic for me but I agree with much of what Bart says. I also have 100% trust in what Dr Bikman says about insulin resistance. Call it what you will, the biophysics is still the same, no matter what someone calls it.
Can you please do an episode on children's nutrition
Great info. To kill the snacking itch after dinner: have 2 oz iced black decaf coffee
Have enough fat with your din dins and POOF, theres no snacking itch.
@@HeartFeltGesture Exactly
Wow, I'm sad that we are even talking about eating processed peas to pacify vegans because they don't want to eat animal protein. What about Anti nutrients? LECTINS, tannins etc?
Your 1st marker for increased insulin resistance is stressed hormone like cortisol and epinephrine.How about exercise?it increases cortisol and epinephrine or stress hormone in blood....would it mean it also increase insulin resistance?
Brilliant !😊👍but how do you gain weight?
I am going to gym 3 times a week eating 3-5 .. healthy meals a day and I can't gain weight 🤔
When a person is lean and very thin, a blood insulin of 3.1, but the A1C is 5.6, and fasting glucose is in the mid to upper 80's what is going on? Eating whole foods and many days of intermittent fasting. Poor sleep, high stress, and possible adrenal weakness.
I appreciate most of what this guy says. He should do more study on carnivore because I think carnivore is a lot different than what he’s saying.
Is CRP a messure of cytokin??
I was tooooo skinny growing up but it wasn't until i was in my 30s after pregnancy that i started gaining wt. But keto and fasting helps and I do drop lbs fairly easily.
37:57 hormones fluctuate and change our metabolism weekly and theres actually recommended workouts per phase of cycle were in. Like HIT shouldnt be done during the “pms” phase as our body is so focused on preparing for said period
Can you explain how others think protein raises insulin levels if you eat it in bulk? Is it the carbohydrate content in the meat?
Meat doesn’t contain carbs. The theory is what your body doesn’t digest (in protein meat) the rest will metabolise as glucose thus raising your insulin.
@@HelplessHawk you saying if somebody doesn't digest it then it'll metabolize it as glucose? How does it get into your bloodstream if it doesn't digest?
if you dont ingest enough glucose for your body's requirements (mostly for the brain), some protein will be converted to glucose through "gluconeogenesis". People on zero carb diets still function fine because there is no essential dietary carb level.
Information about the protein when it is vegan it is correct
What brand of collagen does he recommend?
Forget about supplemental collagen. You can get all the collegen you need from an animal based diet, including seafood.
How do you know you have insulin resistance? I have type 1 diabetes. I do control carbohydrates to about 20 g per meal and get most of those carbs from vegatable and fruits as the digestion of these foods match more the action of insulin making it easier to control sugar levels. People forget to realize (even doctors and dieticians) that insulin has an active 4-6 hours window of action. So to eat a breakfast with processed carbohydrates you would require more insulin than needed to cover the rise in front end sugar and in two hours you will be hungry again feeding that insulin. That insulin is dropping blood sugar and hunger is stimulated. I eat protein and fat at each meal which prevents hunger. I'm a meat eater and fat eater. If I am going to be more active, like snow shoeing I will eat more carbohydrates to prevent low blood sugar. I will lower the on board insulin too if I plan well.
You and your doctor need to have a long, heart-to-heart talk, because your understanding of your condition is woefully inadequate. Firstly, Type 1 diabetes is an "animal like unto itself"...but over time, even Type 1 diabetics can become insulin resistant, even though they initially were insulin sensitive.
Does the mitochondria prioritize ssturated or pufas?
I think the answer is that the mitochondria does neither.
Is pescatarian diet good option?
Will eating 400g low gi rice a day cause glycation to my LDL if I'm not overweight, low triglycerides, high hdl... plus training daily, walking 3000 steps daily.
Why would you wanna eat so much rice? That 400g will eventually turn into fat…
@@kostar500 I'm currently doing a traditional bodybuilding protocol so I am burning the calories I eat training and walking daily but I am concerned about possible glycation
@@DannyG76 results will vary from person to person i think… but i think 400g per day would essentially be carb loading every single day. Most importantly, how do u feel?
You can get various blood tests to check your HDL and triglycerides to se if they’re healthy. You could also get your CAC (coronary artery calcium score) to see if your score is high. Different people will be affected differently, so there is no hard and fast rule to say that that amount of rice will cause glycation.
BUT, you could transfer to a lower carb lifestyle. There are a number of body builders out there who are carnivores. It does take some time to switch over, which does impact your performance for a bit. But once you’ve adapted to lower carb, all sorts of athletes say it’s easier - they build muscle faster, they run faster, etc…
Can we use linoleic acid in our mitochondria or does it just store in our fat cells and oxidize?
I think you answered your own question...
@@joannathesinger770 Thanks JoAnna….I saw an interesting interview with Tucker Goodrich and Paul Saladino on the downstream breakdown products of Pufas in our cells/membrane.
Would this make you have fucked up dreams where you’re always being chased by people, usually cops or soldiers? Whenever I dream I ALWAYS have dreams like that and I wake up having half a heart attack. Usually I accidentally kill someone and then have to escape from like a tall building or I’m in a war and have to escape soldiers from a cliff or tall mountain and then I wake up once I die from jumping and hit the ground or I get killed by whoever is after me. It’s basically like not sleeping but holy shit is it relieving to wake up in bed. This happens almost every night and especially when I don’t smoke weed before bed, although maybe I just don’t remember my dreams when I smoke weed before bed. But I almost always eat dinner about an hour or two at the most before bed…
That made me laugh. Sorry.
Yes. You're having a nightmare. You probably have undiagnosed serious anxiety problems.
I think it's time to find a psychiatrist. Our dreams are what comes forth out of our subconscious...and the vast majority of people don't have dreams like that, no matter what or when they've eaten...
Re: Carbohydrates. Glucose and Fructose are metabolically unalike...near opposites. Glucose is metabolized in nearly every cell in the body...producing ATP (cellular energy). Fructose is metabolized in the liver...resulting in liver fat and uric acid...producing NO ATP. Both liver fat and uric acid CAUSES INSULIN RESISTANCE in the liver. Fructose is a liver toxin at doses over ~25mg for women and ~40 mg for men (the same toxicity thresholds as alcohol).
Table sugar (has glucose and fructose in it) and processed foods (usually has high fructose corn syrup) are the biggest sources of Fructose. Avoid them.
Eating whole fruit is OK, but fruit juices (without lots of fruit fiber) are not OK...the fructose gets to the liver too rapidly, delivering toxic levels too easily.
Eating glucose or starches doesn't directly cause fatty liver, but fructose does.
Glucose stimulates insulin secretion, but fructose does not. Dr. Bickman's treatment of eating glucose and the insulin response... is right on point... but he has a blind spot regarding fructose.
