This is the general takeaway: You want to always eat a high protein low carbohydrate diet. Macros? 50% protein 40% fat 10% carbs. Studies show that the higher your protein intake is the less hunger there is and the less likely you are to overeat energy. If you are someone who does heavy weight lifting, pushing 50% protein 35% fat 15% carbs where most of your carbs are targetted at your pre-workout meal is ideal. Have a nice day everyone.
@@tigertalks1567 Only in caloric surpluses and high meal frequencies my friend. Protein does cause insulin release and raises IGF-1, but it releases counterregulatory hormone glucagon afterwards to counteract the effect of insulin. protein for 3 meals a day + exercise will never ever contribute to cancer as long as your food choices are proper
@@TheMuscleNerd Of course you do, you're not natural, you don't even need a higher fat intake for hormone health because you inject /consume all of that externally : )
@@kruzanJFD studies are averages, and not representative of everyone. My cholesterol for instance is affected by my fat intake, whether that be saturated fat or colesterol is debatable. There are people who indeed are affected by diet cholesterol. There's evidence that a small percentage (~20%) of the population's endogenous colesterol is affected by exogenous intake. I noticed my sky high cholesterol almost normalized after going out of my way to minimize my fat intake. And I managed to do this in a month and a half. It's still a little high but I have a high HDL in relation to LDL so I'm not worried. Besides, particle size, and triglycerides are much more important. But yeah, my personal experience shows, and this is trial and error over years, that my cholesterol levels are highly responsive to diet. Surely I'm not alone. If anything my experience points to the importance of regular testing and triaging with diet, to personalize maintenance of healthy health markers. Why anyone would throw caution to the wind when testing is reliable, convenient, and cheap is beyond me, and seems irresponsible. I almost forgot, dr. Laymon in other videos explains how endogenous cholesterol levels are set and adaptable to exogenous intake. That is, if you eat a little cholesterol, your body will make up the rest, a lot. If you eat a lot of cholesterol, your body will make a little to maintain that set point. Therefore, and this is my extrapulation as there aren't studies on how surplus energy affects levels, if you're in a hypercaloric diet, such a bulking, or simply consistently eating too much, it's quite easy to see how levels might get unusually high. At least that's how I might explain my previous experience. I've played with the idea of tracking my cholesterol intake, which isn't hard given today's technology, just to see if I can predict excessively high levels. I'll make a note of it.
Thank you. The info you share is soooo helpful. Love and respect your guests so much. I am pretty sure I wrecked my health in the 90's eating low fat, ( high carb, which we gave no thought to) and barely any protein. My aha was in 1999 reading The Protein power plan. Wish i had had more nutritional coaching bc i reverted back to old eating habits when i got pregnant. I have been unhealthy since, but your podcasts/videos have brought me back to healthy eating with more understanding of the why's which always leads to long term compliance. I appreciate this conversation bc I do function better with lower carb.
Been low carb 10 years life changing this is crazy if I and my husband ate what he's saying we'd be sick and unhealthy I'm actually mostly carnivore it's amazing
@@sesomnoslen5729 your made of protein, fat and collagen, eating what your practically made of is perfect the only price is perfect health... Your body has no dietary requirements for carbs and fibre Absolutely 0 this is a fact. so not sure what you mean when you say a price to pay down the line lol please elaborate???
The more intelligent I become and the older I get, which sucks while also beating the alternative, the more I grow to appreciate Dr. Gabreille Lyon. This woman, while stunningly attractive, is intelligent to a level which knows no end. She IS 100% correct on nutrition and we align perfectly on the topic. I did reach out to her once to make her my remote primary care doc and got no response. Still I support and continue to appreciate her work and it's value to people.
Dr Stephen Phinney stated in his book that each individual has to find out what their carb tolerance level is. My body does better on a low carb diet. Not super low like keto but if I don't eat over 90 grams of carb per day I feel healthy and inflammation is low.
I'll say this and most of u educated people would agree. There is not a one size fit all when it comes to dieting, health and nutrition. There are facts that support both sides, but what I have found to be helpful to me and others that I know is a thing called "Gene Food Consistency" basically stating that where people are from genetically, they have an infinity to that which grows in the confines of that environment. For example, my best friend traces his roots back to Russia, I know the real odd couple ha, but his body responds better to Red Meat and carbs of high quality, me on the other hand, I trace my roots back to the Caribbeans, the tropics. My body responds better to a lot of vegetables and seafood, not so well to Carbs nor red meat, do I eat red meat from time to time, yes but occasionally, that's coming from me knowing thy self and understanding my body and knowing it's just not one size fit all...Great dialogue by the way.
You make a good point. What you said about "Gene Food Consistency" (nice term BTW) completely destroys all of the correlation studies of the 1960's that lead to U.S. food pyramids and put millions of people on cholesterol drugs. How can you compare the meat eaters of Texas with the rice eaters of back woods China and say Texans should not eat meat? How about the Inuit people of the Arctic who have no rice or veggies and eat seals, fish and whale blubber without cooking any of it. These studies were about meat, so they left out the fact the back woods Chinese people had little vitamin A and had poor eyes, and they had high rates of diabetes from eating nothing but rice, rice noodles, and rice deserts. Oh, but they didn't die of heart disease. We are just now learning how valuable our gut bacteria are to good health, and we are far from knowing everything about bacteria and health. Medical Science, is just now learning how things work at a molecular level, I think we will look back at the old information of the late 20th century to be almost as silly as blood letting.
@@denisedecker7330 well, that's true if left to their own, in natural settings. But in human confinement and control, they eat some very unnatural foods.

I was a skinny kid and teenager and never been overweight but as I've got older I've become a expert on my body, I have a Adrenal body so refined carbs, Sugar, Alcohol cause inflammation and high cortisol and I put weight on my middle. I gave up Alcohol but didn't do low carb and I got lean and results from exercise without trying hard. Hormones are very important and excess fat produces excess Hormones, Nobody looks at other things like alcohol which will cause the liver problems and low T3. It's not just one change or food group its a individuals genetics. My mums got gout and no alcohol or red meat for 15 years but loves potatoes and bread.
I eat around 650g carbs per day, but I'm also a 30 year-old male, resistance train 5+ days a week, and have lots of lean mass. I also haven't yo-yo dieted a lot, which can really down regulate your metabolism if you're always trying to diet down without giving your body a break from a prolonged calorie deficit.
100% true, I tried to have a very firm low diet cholesterol over a period of 3 months to reduce the LDL as bad cholesterol, but guess what, nothing really happened! Indeed it’s not related to diet although you are what you eat, the point is the impact of your diet to lower the Cholesterol is not true.. however you absolutely can enhance your good cholesterol by your diet, what is under your control. Thanks a lot I really enjoyed the open honest informative conversation 👍🏼
Most Americans are way past 80 to 130 grams. Keto / Low Carb probably work so well because because it gives the body a break from a lifetime of too many carbs
If you workout, take 30-50g of carbs before workout and the same after. Pretty simple. Hi protein and youre doing good. I don’t even count calories anymore because I’m on autopilot
I only eat carbs pre and post workout. The other 4 meals are protein and fats. Meal 6 non-fat greek yogurt or cottage cheese. My calorie count moves by adding carbs depending on how I look. Sounds easy but took me years to understand diet. So much misinformation to cut through.
Every time I see Lyon pumping herself up like she is something new or great in muscle "eccentric medicine", she reminds me of the Borg Queen from Star trek.
I did keto lost weight and gain 2 stents and high LDL, switched to whole food plant base diet no animal fat no plant fat ate quite a bit carbs since I have diabetes in my family, I was scared to become a diabetic, but on my last lab work my A1C was down to 5!
Carbs for metabolic syndrome sufferers are a different animal entirely than someone who is a in good shape and especially a high end trained athlete. An athlete can get away with, and derive some top end benefits from carb consumption. For the metabolic syndrome sufferer, carbs are gasoline on the fire.
Ah hah! Found you! I was delighted to find that you have a channel. When he said that “balance is the most important”. I disagree. Depends on the battle, I guess, but balanced based on WHAT time period? Our relatives back in the day did not have all the carbohydrates that are available today. So the human factor collides with various food expediency issues and we have to chart our path through our good world. I know in my heart of hearts that I need to be high fat, medium protein, and low carbohydrates. I still have too much carbohydrates. But. I am on a path of self improvement and I plan on sticking around to prove it.
The metabolism is like a fire. Carbs are kindling like newspaper dry leaves twigs etc that feed the fire and keep it going. If you don't eat enough carbs your not keeping the fire going and your metabolism slows down so you start to hold fat. However if you consume to many carbs you smother the flame and it can also cause weight gain. I never go by the scale i go by the mirror and if I'm lean around my waist i keep going matter of fact i may up my carb intake, if I'm a little fluffy I back off a little and taper my consumption. Low carb is for people who are diabetic insulin resistant and or are obese. Mike Ohearn is one of the best bodybuilders of all time he has great info about how carbs work. Mike mentzer has a lot of good info too.
Concerning cholesterol and lipids I suggest you interview Tom Dayspring MD he is a national expert on lipidology and has taught lectures on it for years. He is obsessed with the lipidology As You Are obsessed with protein metabolism both in a positive productive way.
But carbohydrates are not all equal. People may do better on lower carb because their carbs of choice are not necessarily healthy carbs. Processed foods alone can lead to insulin resistance
I have been requesting this on every channel I talk to and nobody will touch it. This is my concern as well I've had multiple breaks. The last one I had to have a plate put into my right wrist, my right tibia, and a big screw in the ankle. That left me non-weight-bearing for 3 months... After which my doctor said my bones are basically translucent. It's definitely not calcium. So I've attacked this through protein and resistance exercise. But I would like some confirmation that I want to write path before I break a hip.
@@wonderful1220 This is assuming that the problem is calcium. It is not the bone matrix is laid down by protein. Yes calcium is important but without the right proportions of calcium magnesium you're leaving yourself open to kidney stones and other problems as well. A good 60 to 70% of bone it has to do with protein matrix not calcium.
I’ve been loving your videos. I’m naturally thin and have a history of anorexia and a sedentary lifestyle because of it. I started a workout plan to put on muscle last October. I’ve put on some muscle of which I’m very happy with. So thank you for your videos. I’ve started to incorporate more protein now. Any other advice to put on muscle? I’m 54 now, hopefully it’s not too late. ☺️☺️
Lots of options for resistance exercises - drop sets, supersets, occlusion training or BFR, and body weight resistance & calisthenics. All will add muscle. Stay between 5 to 35 reps per set for hypertrophy. Learn to go to failure as often as your body and especially your mind will let you. Good luck. Not that you need it, because it sounds like you’re already winning.
@@christinagior42 One set of 5-35 using compound movements, taken to failure, will provide plenty of benefit. Even better, though, would be drop sets or supersets, still done as one set but involving weight changes or positional changes. The challenge is to find the rep range that is comfortable for you. Lighter weights reduce the chance of joint, ligament, and tendon injury, but increase the time and boredom factor. 8-15 reps suits a lot of people. I’m just pointing out that there is greater leeway than that. Drop sets are my personal favorite because you can start with a slightly lighter weight, use two or three weight level drops, go to failure on each one and on to the next weight without resting, and the last weight you use will be surprisingly light yet very difficult to lift and take to failure. Drop sets provide everything - mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage. The only caveat would be that drop sets are not ideal for squats and deadlifts, mainly due to form breakdown. They’re fine for leg extensions and leg curls if you do those, though. Ideally, you do one set of push, pull, overhead, and legs. That’s it. If you choose to use BFR, I would suggest doing some research. The basics, however, are simple. Wearing the bands, use 20% - 40% of your estimated one rep maximum. First do 30 reps, rest 30 seconds, then do 15 reps three times, resting 30 seconds in between each time. Only wear the bands for 15 minutes and if you complete your exercise before your 15 minutes are up, continue to wear them until time is up. Dr Mercola has an excellent seven minute video discussing the benefits. If you’re all in on this, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting enough protein. Personally, I eat a carb free diet and I’m able to build muscle, even in my mid-60s. Hope this helps.
@@christinagior42 Very happy to help. BTW, I added one comment about drop sets. Don’t rest between each weight change in a drop set, just move as quickly as you can to that next weight and keep going.
I wonder if there is validity to not mixing carbs and fats. Is there any data? This could accounts for why some vegans do well and some keto do well? Trim Healthy Mama plan is this with a focus on proteins.
I did a DNA test and found out my body handles carbs better than most so it recommends my carbs calories be 60% of my diet. Complex carbs of course. I have never had success with a keto diet but with more complex carbs I lose weight.
If your BW is 150 lbs. And you say that 150 g of protein will be ideal for muscle building and your mentor says that your body will need at least 120 g of carbs and you eat only 50, it means that 70 grams have to be made out of protein. At a max GNG rate this will be around 120 g of protein that it will need to make 70 grams of sugar. To have enough protein for optimal muscle building you would need in total 270 grams of protein to support the real protein need for muscle, regeneration of tissue and the glucose demand. Pretty expensive way to fuel with sugar. Not to mention that the body has to raise Cortisol and all sorts of stress hormones to produce sugar out of protein.
I'm not a doctor but I'd be willing to bet those blocked vessels were the result of the eating habits that led you to need to try keto for weight loss. Not the keto. Clots usually take years to form. I think 🤔
Thank you very much for this information. I recently went to a Nautupathic doc and had some blood work done. Ive been on clean Keto for 4 and a half months and was not too shocked to see a LDL at 300 and ApoB at 180. My Doctor wanted me to avoid red meat and eggs and got on red yeast rice supplement. Oh, HDL 65 and triglycerides were 100. I really hoped for better advice, I'm not really sure where to go from here for medical care. I need more information on particle size and endothelial health before I change my diet or go on a Statin.
You could have just had a cold or infection that day, get it done several times... Also keto doesn't mean eat as much fat as you want, not wanting to sound patronising by the way, but too many folks hit keto and start adding butter to the coffee and tallow to this and coconut oil to that. You still have to work in a calorie balance system. Couple more bits of advice, don't eat nuts and seeds (or only sparingly) and don't touch any! Vegtable oil... And if you do olive oil actually make sure it is olive oil and they're not screwing you, especially if you're in the USA. Try only red meat, things like heart, ox shin/cheek ect are great! But avoided chicken which is super toxic and pork. Eat the meat with a raw salads with a vinger avercardo mash dressing, or proper oliveoil, but avoid high oxalate veggies, salt is your friend but again proper salt... I stew my meat so I have the liquid as a nice beverage also to balance the methionine and glycine. Feel free to add raw unharmoginised cheese in also, and eggs. Lastly just watch your protein aim for 1g per pound of bodybweight and don't worry about fat, as in be trying to force it in to everything if you are. Also exercise is king, you don't have to kill yourself but move your body. And! If you're taking vit d sup that stuff will completely dysreglate your ldl levels.
I consume about 160 grams of Carbohydrates per day while cutting and lose 3 pounds of fat per week. It's all just calories in calories out. I've tried low carbs before and would gain too many injuries. Now I won't go below 100 grams of carbs
Great conversation! As a powerlifter who has a bit extra body fat, I tend to do do much better adhering to a diet of about 75g carbs/145g protein and the rest fat. I’m a vegetarian also, which I think makes me carry more fat, but it’s an ethical choice for me. I think many meat eaters will have a more favourable body composition.
Just curious... By ethical choice do you mean that you don't believe killing animals is ok or you have ethical issues with how the commerical meat industry is run?
PLEASE HELP!!! I was vegan for 15 years. Never lost weight and my eGFR was 91. Have been carnivore 90 percent for the past year and my eGFR is now 86. Losing weight very slowly(lifting 3-5 days wk). My question is: why am I having decreased eGFR? And, also hyperthyroid???
It’s actually funny that there is an RDA for carbohydrate. Carbohydrate in reality is the only non-essential macro nutrient. That’s the science if you understand, glucogenesis and how we evolved utilizing that pathway as an adaptation for survival. Carbohydrates are the entertainment, macro nutrient. They do taste awfully nice. I almost laughed out loud when he touted his carb intake for his “high intensity “ tennis playing. I am a highly competitive cyclist and get along great without carbs. He should just be honest and say that he has never taken the time and effort (4-6 months) to up-regulate his metabolism to efficiently convert glycerol to glucose. Just because he is a “scientist” does not preclude him from having a bias.
But carbohydrates are not all equal. Do people may do better on lower carb because their carbs of choice are not necessarily healthy carbs. Processed foods alone can cause insulin resistance, inflammation and more.
So i asked ChatGPT (AI) 'Based on all the data available to you if you had to choose a carnivore diet vs a Whole Foods Plant Based diet which would you choose? Role play that you are a person, and make a choice based on the data you have.' The response it gave was 'As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or biases, and I do not eat food. However, I can provide some information about the potential health effects of different dietary patterns based on the scientific literature. There is evidence to suggest that a whole foods plant-based diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, can have a number of health benefits. This type of diet has been associated with a reduced risk of a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. A whole foods plant-based diet may also help to support weight management, as it is typically lower in calories and saturated fat than a diet that includes animal products. On the other hand, a carnivore diet, which consists primarily or exclusively of animal-based foods, may be associated with a number of health risks. This type of diet is often high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and protein, which can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems. A carnivore diet may also be low in a number of important nutrients, including fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals, which are found in plant-based foods and may be important for maintaining good health.' So that is AI collating all the information is has till 2021.
Problem with low carbs is getting enough calories in, nothing wrong with good carbs, oatmeal fruit vegetables, hell I eat a huge bowl of cabbage with my chicken and there’s 50 g of carbs in that, I do around 200g carbs 170 protein and around 60 to 80 fat and I stay lean visible abbs year round so nothing wrong with eating carbs, when I did go lower carbs I lost water and muscle looks flat and dry lifts went down and lost libido etc not good.
@@lightbeingpontifex Yes I guess fibre doesn’t count but the point I’m making is that there is nothing wrong with carbs as part of balanced eating, best just avoid refined sugar white flour etc.
Curious, my experience suggests my Gironda egg protocol was at fault for my sky high cholesterol levels. As soon as I eliminated yolks, butter, and chicken skin my levels dropped to near normal. I assumed it was the drop in saturated fat, rather than the cholesterol though. As for carbs, Im fairly inactive but I still find I need over 140-150 gm per carbs a day or else I'm hungry all day. My protein is already high but I suppose I could raise it some more.
Eggs do not raise cholesterol, has been proven over and over again. You are right. However there is saturated fat in eggs too.....Staying away from meat, dairy and use olive oil only works best for me.
@@Ron-rk6iz I'm familiar with those studies that suggest no relationship between dietary and blood cholesterol. First off, it's important to understand the scientific method, as it commonly misunderstood even by our esteemed hosts. What studies do is suggest, not prove things. Overall, science only occasionally proves things, but mostly suggests "facts" provisionally on the weight of a corpus of studies, until there's enough data to over turn the prevailing model, that is a paradigm shift. So science isn't static therefore never proves anything, but it's a process that draws and inches us closer to a fuller understanding of the natural world. To my point, there's studies that suggest there is a 20% of the population whose blood cholesterol levels are indeed influenced by dietary cholesterol, but this is a minority. I'm glad you found what works for you. I myself didn't find olive oil helpful at all, and considering the overpriced and inferior quality which floods the market, I've opted for canola which has about half the saturated fat as olive oil and twice as much omega 3, if I recall, at a fraction of the cost. As for dairy, I've simply opted for leaner versions, as with meats. I'll splurge with whole milk in small amounts, as I can't think of having coffee without anything else but this is a minor exception. Eliminating butter and poultry skin have also been efficacious, although I recently started cooking with chicken skin again to keep it moist but not eating it, and as per my recent reading apparently it doesn't contain all that much saturated fat anyway, although calories are calories, thus my avoidance of eating it.
@@AlastrionaS I appreciate your concern. I'm aware canola is rapeseed. What I'm not aware of is some connection between stinkiness and health. That sounds like a fallacy and a non sequitor, but if this were true, we'd have to rule out olive oil. More on that latter. That hexane is used to deodorize is no surprise since that's industry standard, and lies behind 99% of the oils on grocery shelves, even virgin and extra virgin olive oils, since these labels aren't reflective of the type or lack of processing, nor a government label standard that is enforceable. Most North American people would feel suffocated at an open bottle of cold or first pressed olive oil, and disgusted at its taste. I've seen this first hand. So whatever you think you're getting probably isn't it. Rapeseed has been used as animal feed, I suspect for generations, successfully and without issues. And the development of it to canola was simply through selection of varieties low in AA, to suite human consumption. It was developed at my university, I'm proud to say, not at Monsanto, so no big brother conspiracy needed. Deoderized oil destroys omega 3 and converts it to trans, you say? Well as it happens, I'm looking at a bottle of canola and it lists 0.6 gm of trans per 100ml, and 8 gm of omega 3. So either you're wrong about hexane, or the canola I have is processed some other way but I assure you it's bargain priced canola; it's affordably priced, odor and pulp free and filtered. But you can get cold or 1st pressed canola if you look for it. On a serving basis, 5ml, that's virtually 0 trans (label says 0) and 0.4 gm of omega 3. If the omega 3 turned into trans, why do we have so little of it and why is there a high proportion of omega 3? I don't have the time to check and it'd be hard given gm vs ml issue but I suspect grass fed beef might have more trans in the way of CLA. Yep, CLA is a trans fat. The front label on my bottle claims to be free of saturated fats, really 0.3 per serving, as per the nutrient listing on the back. Either way, can we say the same for olive oil? Does it even come close? Nah, I stay away from butter thanks. It raises my cholesterol. I'd encourage you to do some more reading, think things through and resist the fear mongering narratives out there that are based on shotty reasoning. Hope this helps.
@@boxerfencer That’s a whole lot of rationalization to justify eating seed oils. They’re rancid before they leave the refinery and get worse as they sit. There’s not a single health aspect to seed oils that isn’t available in better foods. Without having revealed what your cholesterol is, it’s hard to know what your perspective is. What are you calling too high? High LDL, along with sufficient levels of vitamin D, helped many people survive the latest virus. Cholesterol is a steroid that serves many, many important functions in the body, especially the brain, and especially as we age.
Key takeaway. One size fits one! What works for you may not be optimal for the next. Metabolic flexibility and far less insulin triggers (food & frequency) and eat what you want except POISONS!. These debates are useless minds aren't being changed and shouldn't be. Do YOU!
Thank you very much for share so great information. About the cholesterol issue, just so many Doctors, as Stephen Sinatra, Sergio Mejia, David Perlmutter, etc. say that the presence of a high amount of cholesterol is due to inflammation (very linked to excesive fructose and glucose consume and also made it for our organism in response to them as well). Dr. Perlmutter explain some of these some times intricated processes in his last book - "Drop Acid". I believe, "a must". Maybe not always is a great idea lower cholesterol; could sometimes be a life saving.
I have found to keep a fasting/average blood sugar in the 70-80s eating a high protein diet, i have to eat a minimum of low glycemic vegs snd fruit or my fasting blood sugar will creep up to 90 to low 100s. If you rely on the liver to turn protein into glycogen your fasting/average blood sugar will go up. So why wouldnt you prime your glycogen stores with low glycemic vegs and fruit so your liver doesnt have to convert protein to glycogen? I can maintain a moderate state of ketosis eating this way as well so i seem to be metabolically flexible.
@@k41418 be easiest to say eat a house side salad with a steak as an example. I eat a small bowl of greek salad with my meat right now. Greek salad is far more carbs than a regular baby greens type salad. Also i eat a small bowl of mushrooms and asparagus in lemon, garlic butter as another example. Just be sure you eat the meat prior to the carb or together but not before.
@@k41418 give it a few weeks and test your blood sugar in the am and before bed at minimum. Also i monitor my ketones as well usually take ketone reading in am only. I dont get caught up in being in max or perfect ketosis, i just like to stay in minimum low ketosis but i tend to run around moderate. Goal is to find the sweet spot of enough carbs to keep your glycogen stores full and to exercise snd to stay in ketosis as well so your can run on dual fuel and metabolically flexible. This will likely be a point of contention but i have 1 glass of dry red wine with my evening meal and a second before i crash and it does not spike blood sugar or kick me out of ketosis. It literally lowers my blood sugar before i even hit the bed. Im not saying anyone needs to drink wine im just saying it does benefit me. If you have addiction issues do not consume any alcohol.
Do people with fast metabolisms require more carbohydrates? I’ve been doing low carb/keto for several months after being vegan for 5 years and I’ve lost most of my muscle mass just in those few months. Can you help me?
I should also add that I’m naturally lean and I’ve never weighed more than 130, I’m comfortable at 125, but I’ve dropped down to 110 from doing keto and I feel so weak.
Glucose is stored as Glycogen in the muscles along with water, giving it a lot of it's weight, volume and also power (fast-twitch muscle fiber food) If you eat high fat/low protein/no carb, your gluconeogenesis will be insufficient to provide your muscles with glycogen, thus the stores are depleted, you feel weaker and lose weight. Up your protein and maybe try to carbload after a workout, as muscles are especially insulin-sensitive then. Alternatively, it could also be an electrolyte problem, not enough sodium or smth, if salty stuff tastes really good for you, you should probably take more of it. Check out Siim Land for healthy carbloading and Dr. James DiNicolantonio for Salt/Electrolytes
I am trying Keto, but high fat and not always enough protein. I used weight lift and I was always taught 2 grams protein per kilo of body weight. I am 196 pounds so 196 grams protein. 125 lbs in weight, so 125 grams protein as a starting point.
I think there's a lot of good information here. I understand the idea that low carb with animal protein addresses the needs of the muscles. After watching "The Game Changers" I'm wondering how beneficial it really is to eat meat. Can you discuss this topic on one of your videos?
Watch one of the several debunk videos on game changers and then look into the carnivore argument. Once you have looked into both sides you can then formulated a solid opinion.
@@dylannewsome7199 There's a lot of good information in both videos. So far, the takeaway I get from Dr. Lyon's video is that branched chain amino acids are necessary for muscle development and satiation. I doubt it one piece of advice will work for everyone. I just notice that I feel a lot better if I don't eat too much meat.
Here is the 100% truth. We ALL do better on a lower carbohydrate diet and here is why. Carbs, ultimately, regardless of their origin and the G.I. become sugar. Some are more useful than others depending on the macros they come with, however that fact is unchanged. Sit down and eat meat (no sugar or veggie oil added) and say broccoli until you are full. You will NEVER get "fat". There is a reason and the science supports that. Carbs are ONLY beneficial pre and ESPECIALLY post training hard which most never do so no worries for the muscle glycogen benefit. The rest of the time, they become sugar with NO exception. While fat and especially protein will slow the process (glycemic index, look it up) post heavy training ( which again, most DON'T do) you want carbs with no fat, and no protein to be stored for your next workout. That being said, we are all metabolically the same. Carbs equal sugar and aging, and carbs spike insulin which is ONLY useful post workout as I mentioned, and completely negative for health any other time. It's very simple. There is NO SUCH thing as an "essential carbohydrate". They are "cheap" for a reason Kids.
I would like to see how this "scientific" entity would fix someone weight, performance or appearance.He is absolutely lost in his "data " which are worthless since he is a lab rat and never touched a patient with all the responsibility. I don't know why we waste time with this confusing information where even the scientist is confused.....
I don’t get how bodybuilders and such can eat so much carbohydrate and don’t get diabetes or become obese I’ve heard that Ronnie Coleman’s off-season diet consisted of upto 1000g carbohydrate a day
@@basemgerges1979 Plus they maybe burning much of the carbs through their exercise plus diabetes tends to develop over a lifetime of abuse (so a younger bodybuilder may not see the damage yet). You can bet most of them are not metabolically healthy individuals. One thing people need to realize is that a normal weight, athletic person does not mean they are metabolically healthy...just like an overweight person does not automatically mean that person is metabolically unhealthy. I have been athletic all my life and always struggled with metabolic disease factors (you would not know it from the outside!)....until I found ketogenic way of eating a little over a year ago and now I am MORE athletic and on my path to becoming metabolically healthy too..all this in my late 40s' too!
Your body is operating on a whole different capacity when various types of steroids are involved, it pumps up your metabolism beyond a regular person's metabolism, the body soaks up all the calories. Its like putting a big Supercharger on a car.
More muscle=more room for muscle glycogen. Is how I understand how some can eat carbs and not gain fat. I only have to look at carbs smell a bakery, and my body starts pumping the insulin.
LOL. Trigs of 40, eating 200 grams of carbs is an extremely rare person, if it even exists at all. Let's talk about the normal population not the extremely rare exceptions....I would like to see the tennis playing high carb doctor's bloodwork.
I do MUCH better in every dimension with high carbs. DXed autoimmune fasting hypoglycemia 25 yrs ago, 6 x wk hard resistance training, enjoy fruits/veggies/oatmeal while finding fats pretty disgusting. 1g/lb protein, at least .3g/lb fats, 180+g carbs. Find what fits your particular needs/goals/preferences & knock yourself out.
Hey Doc Lyon can you start a patreon fund for your mentor. He has grratbthings to teach but his mic is from the 90s and sounds unlistenable by 2022 standards. You have enough followers to get this done quick. Everything else is fine and I learned much.
I love how Dr Layman gives you all the numbers for proteins, cholesterol, carbs. Thank you!!
You are NOT boring! So incredibly thankful that I found you both!
Not boring at all! I love hearing you two talk and have learned so much! Keep it up!
Absolutely you two are NOT boring. I find you fascinating.
Such significant information is so helpful.
Thank you for sharing your visits.
Just recently came across Drs Lyon & Layman. They are such a great double act!!! Great banter which is very informative and very useful!
This is the general takeaway: You want to always eat a high protein low carbohydrate diet. Macros? 50% protein 40% fat 10% carbs. Studies show that the higher your protein intake is the less hunger there is and the less likely you are to overeat energy. If you are someone who does heavy weight lifting, pushing 50% protein 35% fat 15% carbs where most of your carbs are targetted at your pre-workout meal is ideal. Have a nice day everyone.
Too much protein raises emptor and is connected to higher rates of cancer
@@tigertalks1567 Only in caloric surpluses and high meal frequencies my friend. Protein does cause insulin release and raises IGF-1, but it releases counterregulatory hormone glucagon afterwards to counteract the effect of insulin. protein for 3 meals a day + exercise will never ever contribute to cancer as long as your food choices are proper
I feel better on lower fat higher carb
@@TheMuscleNerd Of course you do, you're not natural, you don't even need a higher fat intake for hormone health because you inject /consume all of that externally : )
I feel best on a carnivore diet. Very rare carbs. Short, intense resistance exercise like drop sets, super sets, or BFR workouts. No need for carbs.
Thank you for making it just long enough to digest and remember, love that it’s shorter and packed with very useful information, keep em coming ‼️
long enough to digest? 🥒💦
Yes shorter is better! Easier to focus and remember! Thank you
Good stuff!!! I'm a pharmacist and I can't even tell you how many people on statins nvr even considered eating differently 1st. 😔
They just said its not dietary.
Their doctor don’t tell them to. My husband’s doc has him convinced that lifestyle change won’t lower his BP, so he keeps takin those pills.
Yep, the America mind set is more drugs
@@kruzanJFD studies are averages, and not representative of everyone.
My cholesterol for instance is affected by my fat intake, whether that be saturated fat or colesterol is debatable.
There are people who indeed are affected by diet cholesterol. There's evidence that a small percentage (~20%) of the population's endogenous colesterol is affected by exogenous intake.
I noticed my sky high cholesterol almost normalized after going out of my way to minimize my fat intake. And I managed to do this in a month and a half.
It's still a little high but I have a high HDL in relation to LDL so I'm not worried. Besides, particle size, and triglycerides are much more important. But yeah, my personal experience shows, and this is trial and error over years, that my cholesterol levels are highly responsive to diet. Surely I'm not alone.
If anything my experience points to the importance of regular testing and triaging with diet, to personalize maintenance of healthy health markers.
Why anyone would throw caution to the wind when testing is reliable, convenient, and cheap is beyond me, and seems irresponsible.
I almost forgot, dr. Laymon in other videos explains how endogenous cholesterol levels are set and adaptable to exogenous intake.
That is, if you eat a little cholesterol, your body will make up the rest, a lot. If you eat a lot of cholesterol, your body will make a little to maintain that set point.
Therefore, and this is my extrapulation as there aren't studies on how surplus energy affects levels, if you're in a hypercaloric diet, such a bulking, or simply consistently eating too much, it's quite easy to see how levels might get unusually high. At least that's how I might explain my previous experience.
I've played with the idea of tracking my cholesterol intake, which isn't hard given today's technology, just to see if I can predict excessively high levels. I'll make a note of it.
Whose fault is that? When doctors treat the symptoms
What an absolutely fantastic guest! Smart, humble, funny and empathetic
Thank you. The info you share is soooo helpful. Love and respect your guests so much. I am pretty sure I wrecked my health in the 90's eating low fat, ( high carb, which we gave no thought to) and barely any protein. My aha was in 1999 reading The Protein power plan. Wish i had had more nutritional coaching bc i reverted back to old eating habits when i got pregnant. I have been unhealthy since, but your podcasts/videos have brought me back to healthy eating with more understanding of the why's which always leads to long term compliance. I appreciate this conversation bc I do function better with lower carb.
Been low carb 10 years life changing this is crazy if I and my husband ate what he's saying we'd be sick and unhealthy I'm actually mostly carnivore it's amazing
Carnivore is king 🙏👌💪💯🌍👊😎
Mostly carnivore will pay the price down the road. At least that's what the data says. Good health!
@@sesomnoslen5729 your made of protein, fat and collagen, eating what your practically made of is perfect the only price is perfect health... Your body has no dietary requirements for carbs and fibre
Absolutely 0 this is a fact. so not sure what you mean when you say a price to pay down the line lol please elaborate???
@@ketovoreking5440 respectfully disagree with your logic, but I still wish you the best of health.
@@sesomnoslen5729 can I ask why you disagree? I don't mind giving some friendly facts 😏
Wish you good health also 💪💪
I love that both of you have unique strategies and are not trying to "out science" each other! Any videos on fasting?
The more intelligent I become and the older I get, which sucks while also beating the alternative, the more I grow to appreciate Dr. Gabreille Lyon. This woman, while stunningly attractive, is intelligent to a level which knows no end. She IS 100% correct on nutrition and we align perfectly on the topic. I did reach out to her once to make her my remote primary care doc and got no response. Still I support and continue to appreciate her work and it's value to people.

Thank you for this short, info-full, video!❤
Dr Stephen Phinney stated in his book that each individual has to find out what their carb tolerance level is. My body does better on a low carb diet. Not super low like keto but if I don't eat over 90 grams of carb per day I feel healthy and inflammation is low.
I'll say this and most of u educated people would agree. There is not a one size fit all when it comes to dieting, health and nutrition. There are facts that support both sides, but what I have found to be helpful to me and others that I know is a thing called "Gene Food Consistency" basically stating that where people are from genetically, they have an infinity to that which grows in the confines of that environment. For example, my best friend traces his roots back to Russia, I know the real odd couple ha, but his body responds better to Red Meat and carbs of high quality, me on the other hand, I trace my roots back to the Caribbeans, the tropics. My body responds better to a lot of vegetables and seafood, not so well to Carbs nor red meat, do I eat red meat from time to time, yes but occasionally, that's coming from me knowing thy self and understanding my body and knowing it's just not one size fit all...Great dialogue by the way.
You make a good point. What you said about "Gene Food Consistency" (nice term BTW) completely destroys all of the correlation studies of the 1960's that lead to U.S. food pyramids and put millions of people on cholesterol drugs. How can you compare the meat eaters of Texas with the rice eaters of back woods China and say Texans should not eat meat? How about the Inuit people of the Arctic who have no rice or veggies and eat seals, fish and whale blubber without cooking any of it. These studies were about meat, so they left out the fact the back woods Chinese people had little vitamin A and had poor eyes, and they had high rates of diabetes from eating nothing but rice, rice noodles, and rice deserts. Oh, but they didn't die of heart disease. We are just now learning how valuable our gut bacteria are to good health, and we are far from knowing everything about bacteria and health. Medical Science, is just now learning how things work at a molecular level, I think we will look back at the old information of the late 20th century to be almost as silly as blood letting.
All cows eat the basically same diet wherever they are located.
@@denisedecker7330 well, that's true if left to their own, in natural settings. But in human confinement and control, they eat some very unnatural foods. And to make them unnaturally fat in the end, humans feed them all sorts of freakish things such as Skittles and other waste products, and their own kind, even (though, due to mad cow disease, I believe they no longer are fed other cows).
@@jellybeanvinkler4878 This is true. But when left on on their own to forge or when using regenerative agriculture which sustains our whole ecosystem this is not a problem.

❤ Love each of these AMAZING VALUE PACKED conversations. also love the respect and beautiful relationship you share with him as your mentor !!!
I was a skinny kid and teenager and never been overweight but as I've got older I've become a expert on my body, I have a Adrenal body so refined carbs, Sugar, Alcohol cause inflammation and high cortisol and I put weight on my middle. I gave up Alcohol but didn't do low carb and I got lean and results from exercise without trying hard. Hormones are very important and excess fat produces excess Hormones, Nobody looks at other things like alcohol which will cause the liver problems and low T3. It's not just one change or food group its a individuals genetics. My mums got gout and no alcohol or red meat for 15 years but loves potatoes and bread.
For the gout drink alkaline water and reduce the fats maybe up the carbs, cut out the deli meats and processed meats and wine lower the other meats,,,
Your talki is not boring at all .. both of you .. very beneficial infact .. but wish there were things like drawings, diagrams etc
I eat around 650g carbs per day, but I'm also a 30 year-old male, resistance train 5+ days a week, and have lots of lean mass. I also haven't yo-yo dieted a lot, which can really down regulate your metabolism if you're always trying to diet down without giving your body a break from a prolonged calorie deficit.
Brag while you still can
Love you both. And good luck with sharing your educational conversation. Thank you
Nice, TY for many concise nuggets of great info in one short video. Cleared up many of my questions. I listened/watched twice.
100% true, I tried to have a very firm low diet cholesterol over a period of 3 months to reduce the LDL as bad cholesterol, but guess what, nothing really happened! Indeed it’s not related to diet although you are what you eat, the point is the impact of your diet to lower the Cholesterol is not true.. however you absolutely can enhance your good cholesterol by your diet, what is under your control. Thanks a lot I really enjoyed the open honest informative conversation 👍🏼
Most Americans are way past 80 to 130 grams. Keto / Low Carb probably work so well because because it gives the body a break from a lifetime of too many carbs
It's works bc protein and fat are low insulin,,, carbs and sugar are super high insulin especially if combined with fat,,,
If you workout, take 30-50g of carbs before workout and the same after. Pretty simple. Hi protein and youre doing good. I don’t even count calories anymore because I’m on autopilot
I only eat carbs pre and post workout. The other 4 meals are protein and fats. Meal 6 non-fat greek yogurt or cottage cheese. My calorie count moves by adding carbs depending on how I look. Sounds easy but took me years to understand diet. So much misinformation to cut through.
Every time I see Lyon pumping herself up like she is something new or great in muscle
"eccentric medicine", she reminds me of the Borg Queen from Star trek.
Terrific interview!Thank you
I did keto lost weight and gain 2 stents and high LDL, switched to whole food plant base diet no animal fat no plant fat ate quite a bit carbs since I have diabetes in my family, I was scared to become a diabetic, but on my last lab work my A1C was down to 5!
@Dust Storm are you his doctor and know his blood test results?!
@Dust Storm They both said, “the body is flexible” but you say bs. Why?
Heart disease is decades in the making. It's not the effect of a one-year diet. I've been carnivorous for 3 years and my CAC score is fantastic.
Always well informed and informative
Thank you so much for Doctors like you
Carbs for metabolic syndrome sufferers are a different animal entirely than someone who is a in good shape and especially a high end trained athlete. An athlete can get away with, and derive some top end benefits from carb consumption. For the metabolic syndrome sufferer, carbs are gasoline on the fire.
Exactly, I cannot perform without at least 200 grams of carbs. I perform heavy weightlifting and sprints
I am on 500gr of carbs daily. Gym 6x a week.
The key to carbs: avoid them. Job done.
Bingo!
Thank you so much Dr.
Ah hah! Found you! I was delighted to find that you have a channel. When he said that “balance is the most important”. I disagree. Depends on the battle, I guess, but balanced based on WHAT time period? Our relatives back in the day did not have all the carbohydrates that are available today. So the human factor collides with various food expediency issues and we have to chart our path through our good world. I know in my heart of hearts that I need to be high fat, medium protein, and low carbohydrates. I still have too much carbohydrates. But. I am on a path of self improvement and I plan on sticking around to prove it.
The metabolism is like a fire. Carbs are kindling like newspaper dry leaves twigs etc that feed the fire and keep it going. If you don't eat enough carbs your not keeping the fire going and your metabolism slows down so you start to hold fat. However if you consume to many carbs you smother the flame and it can also cause weight gain. I never go by the scale i go by the mirror and if I'm lean around my waist i keep going matter of fact i may up my carb intake, if I'm a little fluffy I back off a little and taper my consumption. Low carb is for people who are diabetic insulin resistant and or are obese. Mike Ohearn is one of the best bodybuilders of all time he has great info about how carbs work. Mike mentzer has a lot of good info too.
Well said, do much nonsense spouted here, just avoid refined junk carbs cakes etc
You are a beautiful doctor!
Concerning cholesterol and lipids I suggest you interview Tom Dayspring MD he is a national expert on lipidology and has taught lectures on it for years. He is obsessed with the lipidology As You Are obsessed with protein metabolism both in a positive productive way.
You Are both so brilliant!
Doctrine inertia is amazing.
But carbohydrates are not all equal. People may do better on lower carb because their carbs of choice are not necessarily healthy carbs. Processed foods alone can lead to insulin resistance
Carbs of choice; bread cereal pasta doughnuts,,,
Thank you for the explanation!!! Great information! Can you talk about osteoporosis and what we can do to improve it!!
Vitamin d vitamin k protein exercise,,,
Crash eggshells to dust but first boil them 5-10 min then bake it in oven for 5 min on 200 d youvcheck some youtube videos on it ;)
I have been requesting this on every channel I talk to and nobody will touch it. This is my concern as well I've had multiple breaks. The last one I had to have a plate put into my right wrist, my right tibia, and a big screw in the ankle. That left me non-weight-bearing for 3 months... After which my doctor said my bones are basically translucent.
It's definitely not calcium. So I've attacked this through protein and resistance exercise. But I would like some confirmation that I want to write path before I break a hip.
@@wonderful1220 This is assuming that the problem is calcium. It is not the bone matrix is laid down by protein. Yes calcium is important but without the right proportions of calcium magnesium you're leaving yourself open to kidney stones and other problems as well. A good 60 to 70% of bone it has to do with protein matrix not calcium.
If boring can help become my healthiest form then I guess I’m boring too great video!
I’ve been loving your videos. I’m naturally thin and have a history of anorexia and a sedentary lifestyle because of it. I started a workout plan to put on muscle last October. I’ve put on some muscle of which I’m very happy with. So thank you for your videos. I’ve started to incorporate more protein now. Any other advice to put on muscle? I’m 54 now, hopefully it’s not too late. ☺️☺️
Lots of options for resistance exercises - drop sets, supersets, occlusion training or BFR, and body weight resistance & calisthenics. All will add muscle. Stay between 5 to 35 reps per set for hypertrophy. Learn to go to failure as often as your body and especially your mind will let you. Good luck. Not that you need it, because it sounds like you’re already winning.
@@2old4allthis thank you so much!!! 🤗 So 3 sets of 10-14 are ok for each exercise?
@@christinagior42 One set of 5-35 using compound movements, taken to failure, will provide plenty of benefit. Even better, though, would be drop sets or supersets, still done as one set but involving weight changes or positional changes. The challenge is to find the rep range that is comfortable for you. Lighter weights reduce the chance of joint, ligament, and tendon injury, but increase the time and boredom factor. 8-15 reps suits a lot of people. I’m just pointing out that there is greater leeway than that. Drop sets are my personal favorite because you can start with a slightly lighter weight, use two or three weight level drops, go to failure on each one and on to the next weight without resting, and the last weight you use will be surprisingly light yet very difficult to lift and take to failure. Drop sets provide everything - mechanical tension, metabolic stress, and muscle damage. The only caveat would be that drop sets are not ideal for squats and deadlifts, mainly due to form breakdown. They’re fine for leg extensions and leg curls if you do those, though. Ideally, you do one set of push, pull, overhead, and legs. That’s it.
If you choose to use BFR, I would suggest doing some research. The basics, however, are simple. Wearing the bands, use 20% - 40% of your estimated one rep maximum. First do 30 reps, rest 30 seconds, then do 15 reps three times, resting 30 seconds in between each time. Only wear the bands for 15 minutes and if you complete your exercise before your 15 minutes are up, continue to wear them until time is up. Dr Mercola has an excellent seven minute video discussing the benefits.
If you’re all in on this, you’ll want to make sure you’re getting enough protein. Personally, I eat a carb free diet and I’m able to build muscle, even in my mid-60s.
Hope this helps.
@@2old4allthis omg!!! Thank you so much!!!! You’re so very kind.. So appreciated ☀️💕🌷🌸💗🪴☀️
@@christinagior42 Very happy to help. BTW, I added one comment about drop sets. Don’t rest between each weight change in a drop set, just move as quickly as you can to that next weight and keep going.
It depends on your gut Flora
I wonder if there is validity to not mixing carbs and fats. Is there any data? This could accounts for why some vegans do well and some keto do well? Trim Healthy Mama plan is this with a focus on proteins.
What if....what if you wore a CGM? Then by reading it...judge what the food you eat on what is good for you and what isn't.
I think a conversation between Dr. Gabrielle Lyon and Dr. Berg would be very interesting as well ?
She would wreck Berg the Backcracker. #notadoctor
So what do you say about Blue Zones finding high carb diets promote longevity?
Longevity as +6 more months of life going low protein,,,
What do we need from vegetables that cannot be gotten from meat and fat?
fiber, pre and probiotics
I did a DNA test and found out my body handles carbs better than most so it recommends my carbs calories be 60% of my diet. Complex carbs of course. I have never had success with a keto diet but with more complex carbs I lose weight.
Everyone is like that you're not special,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex What do you mean?
If your BW is 150 lbs. And you say that 150 g of protein will be ideal for muscle building and your mentor says that your body will need at least 120 g of carbs and you eat only 50, it means that 70 grams have to be made out of protein. At a max GNG rate this will be around 120 g of protein that it will need to make 70 grams of sugar. To have enough protein for optimal muscle building you would need in total 270 grams of protein to support the real protein need for muscle, regeneration of tissue and the glucose demand. Pretty expensive way to fuel with sugar. Not to mention that the body has to raise Cortisol and all sorts of stress hormones to produce sugar out of protein.
I'm not a doctor but I'd be willing to bet those blocked vessels were the result of the eating habits that led you to need to try keto for weight loss. Not the keto. Clots usually take years to form. I think 🤔
Glucose can be made from protein glycerol or lactic acid ,,,
@@lightbeingpontifexthat what he said
Thank you very much for this information. I recently went to a Nautupathic doc and had some blood work done. Ive been on clean Keto for 4 and a half months and was not too shocked to see a LDL at 300 and ApoB at 180. My Doctor wanted me to avoid red meat and eggs and got on red yeast rice supplement. Oh, HDL 65 and triglycerides were 100. I really hoped for better advice, I'm not really sure where to go from here for medical care. I need more information on particle size and endothelial health before I change my diet or go on a Statin.
I've always heard to give yourself at least six months before labs.
You could have just had a cold or infection that day, get it done several times... Also keto doesn't mean eat as much fat as you want, not wanting to sound patronising by the way, but too many folks hit keto and start adding butter to the coffee and tallow to this and coconut oil to that. You still have to work in a calorie balance system. Couple more bits of advice, don't eat nuts and seeds (or only sparingly) and don't touch any! Vegtable oil... And if you do olive oil actually make sure it is olive oil and they're not screwing you, especially if you're in the USA.
Try only red meat, things like heart, ox shin/cheek ect are great! But avoided chicken which is super toxic and pork. Eat the meat with a raw salads with a vinger avercardo mash dressing, or proper oliveoil, but avoid high oxalate veggies, salt is your friend but again proper salt... I stew my meat so I have the liquid as a nice beverage also to balance the methionine and glycine.
Feel free to add raw unharmoginised cheese in also, and eggs.
Lastly just watch your protein aim for 1g per pound of bodybweight and don't worry about fat, as in be trying to force it in to everything if you are.
Also exercise is king, you don't have to kill yourself but move your body.
And! If you're taking vit d sup that stuff will completely dysreglate your ldl levels.
Carbs, Proteine and Fat is what we need in balance and good quality.
What about estrogen? I never had a problem with cholesterol until menopause. Now it is around 300. Triglycerides are 65
Estrogen is a toxin,,,
I consume about 160 grams of Carbohydrates per day while cutting and lose 3 pounds of fat per week. It's all just calories in calories out. I've tried low carbs before and would gain too many injuries. Now I won't go below 100 grams of carbs
It really is more complex than in out. It totally depends of if you are indeed an athlete or if you're obese and doing nothing.
The first subject is carb load per meal, but then as far as I can tell they only talk about grams per day.
I don't even know what they are trying to say I thought the old man says 150+ carbs and the lady says low carb,,
What is the key,,,? I didn't get the main idea here,,
Great conversation! As a powerlifter who has a bit extra body fat, I tend to do do much better adhering to a diet of about 75g carbs/145g protein and the rest fat. I’m a vegetarian also, which I think makes me carry more fat, but it’s an ethical choice for me. I think many meat eaters will have a more favourable body composition.
Just curious... By ethical choice do you mean that you don't believe killing animals is ok or you have ethical issues with how the commerical meat industry is run?
Waiting for you to answer Let's Go Brandon's question. I'm curious about this as well.
Probably both,,
PLEASE HELP!!! I was vegan for 15 years. Never lost weight and my eGFR was 91. Have been carnivore 90 percent for the past year and my eGFR is now 86. Losing weight very slowly(lifting 3-5 days wk). My question is: why am I having decreased eGFR? And, also hyperthyroid???
Because you have more muscle. Retest with cystatin-c
Does exercise temporarily increase cholesterol and if so, for how long?
No it doesn't,,,
It’s actually funny that there is an RDA for carbohydrate. Carbohydrate in reality is the only non-essential macro nutrient. That’s the science if you understand, glucogenesis and how we evolved utilizing that pathway as an adaptation for survival. Carbohydrates are the entertainment, macro nutrient. They do taste awfully nice.
I almost laughed out loud when he touted his carb intake for his “high intensity “ tennis playing. I am a highly competitive cyclist and get along great without carbs. He should just be honest and say that he has never taken the time and effort (4-6 months) to up-regulate his metabolism to efficiently convert glycerol to glucose. Just because he is a “scientist” does not preclude him from having a bias.
How do you explain LMHR people on low carb high fat diets egtting super high total Cholesterol and LDL?
Cholesterol is good hdl and ldl are good,,, it's the plaqued cholesterol in the arteries that's bad from high sugar in the blood,,,
But carbohydrates are not all equal. Do people may do better on lower carb because their carbs of choice are not necessarily healthy carbs. Processed foods alone can cause insulin resistance, inflammation and more.
Are you talking about total carbs or net carbs? Thanks!
Net carbs,,,
So i asked ChatGPT (AI) 'Based on all the data available to you if you had to choose a carnivore diet vs a Whole Foods Plant Based diet which would you choose? Role play that you are a person, and make a choice based on the data you have.' The response it gave was 'As an AI language model, I do not have personal preferences or biases, and I do not eat food. However, I can provide some information about the potential health effects of different dietary patterns based on the scientific literature.
There is evidence to suggest that a whole foods plant-based diet, which is rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, legumes, and nuts, can have a number of health benefits. This type of diet has been associated with a reduced risk of a number of chronic diseases, including heart disease, type 2 diabetes, and certain types of cancer. A whole foods plant-based diet may also help to support weight management, as it is typically lower in calories and saturated fat than a diet that includes animal products.
On the other hand, a carnivore diet, which consists primarily or exclusively of animal-based foods, may be associated with a number of health risks. This type of diet is often high in saturated fat, cholesterol, and protein, which can increase the risk of heart disease and other health problems. A carnivore diet may also be low in a number of important nutrients, including fiber, antioxidants, and phytochemicals, which are found in plant-based foods and may be important for maintaining good health.'
So that is AI collating all the information is has till 2021.
all the wrong information that is fed to AI:)
Problem with low carbs is getting enough calories in, nothing wrong with good carbs, oatmeal fruit vegetables, hell I eat a huge bowl of cabbage with my chicken and there’s 50 g of carbs in that, I do around 200g carbs 170 protein and around 60 to 80 fat and I stay lean visible abbs year round so nothing wrong with eating carbs, when I did go lower carbs I lost water and muscle looks flat and dry lifts went down and lost libido etc not good.
Carbs from vegetables don't count,,,it's fiber,,,
@@lightbeingpontifex Yes I guess fibre doesn’t count but the point I’m making is that there is nothing wrong with carbs as part of balanced eating, best just avoid refined sugar white flour etc.
A blood type high carbs AB blood type high carbs O blood type high protein Blood type high protein DNA
Curious, my experience suggests my Gironda egg protocol was at fault for my sky high cholesterol levels. As soon as I eliminated yolks, butter, and chicken skin my levels dropped to near normal. I assumed it was the drop in saturated fat, rather than the cholesterol though.
As for carbs, Im fairly inactive but I still find I need over 140-150 gm per carbs a day or else I'm hungry all day. My protein is already high but I suppose I could raise it some more.
Eggs do not raise cholesterol, has been proven over and over again. You are right.
However there is saturated fat in eggs too.....Staying away from meat, dairy and use olive oil only works best for me.
@@Ron-rk6iz I'm familiar with those studies that suggest no relationship between dietary and blood cholesterol.
First off, it's important to understand the scientific method, as it commonly misunderstood even by our esteemed hosts.
What studies do is suggest, not prove things. Overall, science only occasionally proves things, but mostly suggests "facts" provisionally on the weight of a corpus of studies, until there's enough data to over turn the prevailing model, that is a paradigm shift.
So science isn't static therefore never proves anything, but it's a process that draws and inches us closer to a fuller understanding of the natural world.
To my point, there's studies that suggest there is a 20% of the population whose blood cholesterol levels are indeed influenced by dietary cholesterol, but this is a minority.
I'm glad you found what works for you. I myself didn't find olive oil helpful at all, and considering the overpriced and inferior quality which floods the market, I've opted for canola which has about half the saturated fat as olive oil and twice as much omega 3, if I recall, at a fraction of the cost.
As for dairy, I've simply opted for leaner versions, as with meats. I'll splurge with whole milk in small amounts, as I can't think of having coffee without anything else but this is a minor exception.
Eliminating butter and poultry skin have also been efficacious, although I recently started cooking with chicken skin again to keep it moist but not eating it, and as per my recent reading apparently it doesn't contain all that much saturated fat anyway, although calories are calories, thus my avoidance of eating it.
@@AlastrionaS I appreciate your concern.
I'm aware canola is rapeseed. What I'm not aware of is some connection between stinkiness and health. That sounds like a fallacy and a non sequitor, but if this were true, we'd have to rule out olive oil. More on that latter.
That hexane is used to deodorize is no surprise since that's industry standard, and lies behind 99% of the oils on grocery shelves, even virgin and extra virgin olive oils, since these labels aren't reflective of the type or lack of processing, nor a government label standard that is enforceable.
Most North American people would feel suffocated at an open bottle of cold or first pressed olive oil, and disgusted at its taste. I've seen this first hand. So whatever you think you're getting probably isn't it.
Rapeseed has been used as animal feed, I suspect for generations, successfully and without issues. And the development of it to canola was simply through selection of varieties low in AA, to suite human consumption. It was developed at my university, I'm proud to say, not at Monsanto, so no big brother conspiracy needed.
Deoderized oil destroys omega 3 and converts it to trans, you say? Well as it happens, I'm looking at a bottle of canola and it lists 0.6 gm of trans per 100ml, and 8 gm of omega 3. So either you're wrong about hexane, or the canola I have is processed some other way but I assure you it's bargain priced canola; it's affordably priced, odor and pulp free and filtered. But you can get cold or 1st pressed canola if you look for it.
On a serving basis, 5ml, that's virtually 0 trans (label says 0) and 0.4 gm of omega 3.
If the omega 3 turned into trans, why do we have so little of it and why is there a high proportion of omega 3?
I don't have the time to check and it'd be hard given gm vs ml issue but I suspect grass fed beef might have more trans in the way of CLA. Yep, CLA is a trans fat.
The front label on my bottle claims to be free of saturated fats, really 0.3 per serving, as per the nutrient listing on the back. Either way, can we say the same for olive oil? Does it even come close?
Nah, I stay away from butter thanks. It raises my cholesterol. I'd encourage you to do some more reading, think things through and resist the fear mongering narratives out there that are based on shotty reasoning.
Hope this helps.
@@boxerfencer That’s a whole lot of rationalization to justify eating seed oils. They’re rancid before they leave the refinery and get worse as they sit. There’s not a single health aspect to seed oils that isn’t available in better foods.
Without having revealed what your cholesterol is, it’s hard to know what your perspective is. What are you calling too high? High LDL, along with sufficient levels of vitamin D, helped many people survive the latest virus. Cholesterol is a steroid that serves many, many important functions in the body, especially the brain, and especially as we age.
@@Ron-rk6iz the Vince Veronda diet was 36 eggs a day. Might be going a bit overboard possibly.
Key takeaway. One size fits one! What works for you may not be optimal for the next. Metabolic flexibility and far less insulin triggers (food & frequency) and eat what you want except POISONS!. These debates are useless minds aren't being changed and shouldn't be. Do YOU!
Thank you very much for share so great information. About the cholesterol issue, just so many Doctors, as Stephen Sinatra, Sergio Mejia, David Perlmutter, etc. say that the presence of a high amount of cholesterol is due to inflammation (very linked to excesive fructose and glucose consume and also made it for our organism in response to them as well). Dr. Perlmutter explain some of these some times intricated processes in his last book - "Drop Acid". I believe, "a must". Maybe not always is a great idea lower cholesterol; could sometimes be a life saving.
I have found to keep a fasting/average blood sugar in the 70-80s eating a high protein diet, i have to eat a minimum of low glycemic vegs snd fruit or my fasting blood sugar will creep up to 90 to low 100s. If you rely on the liver to turn protein into glycogen your fasting/average blood sugar will go up. So why wouldnt you prime your glycogen stores with low glycemic vegs and fruit so your liver doesnt have to convert protein to glycogen? I can maintain a moderate state of ketosis eating this way as well so i seem to be metabolically flexible.
How many grams of carbs would need to be consumed?
@@k41418 be easiest to say eat a house side salad with a steak as an example. I eat a small bowl of greek salad with my meat right now. Greek salad is far more carbs than a regular baby greens type salad. Also i eat a small bowl of mushrooms and asparagus in lemon, garlic butter as another example. Just be sure you eat the meat prior to the carb or together but not before.
@@GregariousAntithesis thank you
@@k41418 give it a few weeks and test your blood sugar in the am and before bed at minimum. Also i monitor my ketones as well usually take ketone reading in am only. I dont get caught up in being in max or perfect ketosis, i just like to stay in minimum low ketosis but i tend to run around moderate. Goal is to find the sweet spot of enough carbs to keep your glycogen stores full and to exercise snd to stay in ketosis as well so your can run on dual fuel and metabolically flexible. This will likely be a point of contention but i have 1 glass of dry red wine with my evening meal and a second before i crash and it does not spike blood sugar or kick me out of ketosis. It literally lowers my blood sugar before i even hit the bed. Im not saying anyone needs to drink wine im just saying it does benefit me. If you have addiction issues do not consume any alcohol.
Bc fruit sugar doesn't go into muscle and neither does fiber (carbs from vegetables),,,
Do people with fast metabolisms require more carbohydrates? I’ve been doing low carb/keto for several months after being vegan for 5 years and I’ve lost most of my muscle mass just in those few months. Can you help me?
I should also add that I’m naturally lean and I’ve never weighed more than 130, I’m comfortable at 125, but I’ve dropped down to 110 from doing keto and I feel so weak.
Glucose is stored as Glycogen in the muscles along with water, giving it a lot of it's weight, volume and also power (fast-twitch muscle fiber food)
If you eat high fat/low protein/no carb, your gluconeogenesis will be insufficient to provide your muscles with glycogen, thus the stores are depleted, you feel weaker and lose weight. Up your protein and maybe try to carbload after a workout, as muscles are especially insulin-sensitive then.
Alternatively, it could also be an electrolyte problem, not enough sodium or smth, if salty stuff tastes really good for you, you should probably take more of it.
Check out Siim Land for healthy carbloading and Dr. James DiNicolantonio for Salt/Electrolytes
@@perverse_ince thank you so much for your thoughtful reply. I’ll check those suggestions out.
I am trying Keto, but high fat and not always enough protein. I used weight lift and I was always taught 2 grams protein per kilo of body weight. I am 196 pounds so 196 grams protein.
125 lbs in weight, so 125 grams protein as a starting point.
@@babianna5609 I'd be curious to know if your total calories changed much from the two diets.
I think there's a lot of good information here. I understand the idea that low carb with animal protein addresses the needs of the muscles. After watching "The Game Changers" I'm wondering how beneficial it really is to eat meat. Can you discuss this topic on one of your videos?
Watch one of the several debunk videos on game changers and then look into the carnivore argument. Once you have looked into both sides you can then formulated a solid opinion.
@@dylannewsome7199 There's a lot of good information in both videos. So far, the takeaway I get from Dr. Lyon's video is that branched chain amino acids are necessary for muscle development and satiation. I doubt it one piece of advice will work for everyone. I just notice that I feel a lot better if I don't eat too much meat.
There is such thing as fake documentaries,,,,
but then why does he consume 180 grams of carbs a day?
Here is the 100% truth. We ALL do better on a lower carbohydrate diet and here is why. Carbs, ultimately, regardless of their origin and the G.I. become sugar. Some are more useful than others depending on the macros they come with, however that fact is unchanged. Sit down and eat meat (no sugar or veggie oil added) and say broccoli until you are full. You will NEVER get "fat". There is a reason and the science supports that. Carbs are ONLY beneficial pre and ESPECIALLY post training hard which most never do so no worries for the muscle glycogen benefit. The rest of the time, they become sugar with NO exception. While fat and especially protein will slow the process (glycemic index, look it up) post heavy training ( which again, most DON'T do) you want carbs with no fat, and no protein to be stored for your next workout. That being said, we are all metabolically the same. Carbs equal sugar and aging, and carbs spike insulin which is ONLY useful post workout as I mentioned, and completely negative for health any other time. It's very simple. There is NO SUCH thing as an "essential carbohydrate". They are "cheap" for a reason Kids.
Carbohydrates aren't "essential" like fat or protien is. There's an addiction component when people say " I gotta have my ( fill in the blank )."
"The Key to Carbohydrates" should be substituted for "The Key to Developing an Eating Disorder."
Never going low carb. Low fat no problem.
I would like to see how this "scientific" entity would fix someone weight, performance or appearance.He is absolutely lost in his "data " which are worthless since he is a lab rat and never touched a patient with all the responsibility. I don't know why we waste time with this confusing information where even the scientist is confused.....
Doc, I have to say, you are so unbelievably intelligent AND attractive! Just WOW. 😍
Lol the thumbnail, carbohydates
Thank you!
Okay nice video
Does anyone start losing the point that she is making after a while? I still can’t figure out what she’s talking about!
Cooked carbs are the problem. Cooked food in general chemically alters and dehydrates food causes inflammation.
I'm just here to take a good look at the doc's face...pretty lady.
Eat less Xyz, or eat ABC instead of Def, and make the liver's work more difficult. 😗
High protein or high fat or high sugar or any alcohol is bad for liver,,,
Awesome
I don’t get how bodybuilders and such can eat so much carbohydrate and don’t get diabetes or become obese I’ve heard that Ronnie Coleman’s off-season diet consisted of upto 1000g carbohydrate a day
Steroids
@@basemgerges1979 Plus they maybe burning much of the carbs through their exercise plus diabetes tends to develop over a lifetime of abuse (so a younger bodybuilder may not see the damage yet). You can bet most of them are not metabolically healthy individuals. One thing people need to realize is that a normal weight, athletic person does not mean they are metabolically healthy...just like an overweight person does not automatically mean that person is metabolically unhealthy. I have been athletic all my life and always struggled with metabolic disease factors (you would not know it from the outside!)....until I found ketogenic way of eating a little over a year ago and now I am MORE athletic and on my path to becoming metabolically healthy too..all this in my late 40s' too!
Your body is operating on a whole different capacity when various types of steroids are involved, it pumps up your metabolism beyond a regular person's metabolism, the body soaks up all the calories. Its like putting a big Supercharger on a car.
In the long run lots of body builders develope health problems.
The really smart ones down size their diets in time in order to become healthy again.
More muscle=more room for muscle glycogen. Is how I understand how some can eat carbs and not gain fat. I only have to look at carbs smell a bakery, and my body starts pumping the insulin.
I wish you would discuss cholesterol. The level of your following comments is frightening to me.
Got it all Beauty brains health conscious nice waistline fast metabolism queen level
LOL. Trigs of 40, eating 200 grams of carbs is an extremely rare person, if it even exists at all. Let's talk about the normal population not the extremely rare exceptions....I would like to see the tennis playing high carb doctor's bloodwork.
200 g carbs is the average I get about 250g and I'm trying to cut down,,,
I do MUCH better in every dimension with high carbs.
DXed autoimmune fasting hypoglycemia 25 yrs ago, 6 x wk hard resistance training, enjoy fruits/veggies/oatmeal while finding fats pretty disgusting.
1g/lb protein, at least .3g/lb fats, 180+g carbs.
Find what fits your particular needs/goals/preferences & knock yourself out.
Walk in a Wal mart in Arkansas and tell me there is a lot of people with insulin sensitivity 😂
Scary
So 130 grams of carbs x 4 cals = 520 carb cal in 15-2000 cal/d. What? In a brain that needs glucose as its #1 energy source?
I'm 150 lbs and my brain and body consumes 150_250g carbs per day,,, if I don't I feel weak and brain fog
Hey Doc Lyon can you start a patreon fund for your mentor. He has grratbthings to teach but his mic is from the 90s and sounds unlistenable by 2022 standards. You have enough followers to get this done quick. Everything else is fine and I learned much.
Not boring😂
Are you 100% sure...that eating FIBRE is good for you? Is slowing down digestion with wood pulp the same?
Dr Lyon is on mushies
150 Grams of net carbs, is absolutely to high for the average person.
I thought he said carbs and not net carbs?
The average person gets 250g carbs,,, sugar is a carb too,,,
🙏
