I have been on a Keto diet for 4 plus years and I would never go back to the way I was. As a physician, the science relating to being in a ketogenic state is unimpeachable.
awesome information. stephen phinney is a beast and making the world a better place. god bless crossfit for doing its part towards promoting metabolic health. autoimmune disease patients (ulcerative colitis, in my case) should pay attention. cheers, folks.
AMAZING interview. The 12% bf example vs 9%, the faster recovery examples, and sustained duration for working out. Personally, I have experimented with a higher fat and lower carb / carb restriction diet more and more recently, and seen my highest strength numbers in the past 5 weeks as Ive upped my protein and dropped my carb numbers, even when restricting carbs for the day to max 20g-50g pre resistance training. I havent got over the hill of not having carbs post resistance training but seeing if I can because the sluggishness from the starch (and Ive tried all kinds) is not fun.
I’ve been eating animal based, high fat for over 3 weeks and I can not believe how much my joint pain has reduced. I can get my wedding ring back on for the first time in 6 months since this whole RA debacle started. I had been clean eating/low carb when all hell broke loose. I’ll be honest, I don’t love only eating meat but I’ll do whatever it takes to keep the pain away.
Definitely has its place but man...I've been way better off long term by cycling in and out and doing IF with fruit/honey and some white rice in the evenings vs being hardcore all the time keto. Most people are unless they hae straight up epilepsy or something like that
I went back to Carnivore high fat, after that honey fruits, inflammation and knee pain went back on sugars, simple carnivore high fats easy to follow with no supplements too.
@@vidalskyociosen3326 Same here. PKD high fat, ruminants, organs (liver, brain kidneys, hearts marrows) and feel super now. All inflammations gone..but I had to suffer a lot like almost 3 month and that was just before the Open..it was awful. Now Quarterfinals and feel much better but I'm sure I'll improve much with more time. Just need to be patient.
There is a common misconception here. 'Eating' carbohydrates is not essential for the brain. 1. the brain can use ketones and loves them which are made from fatty acids. 2. When limiting carbohydrates, the liver will create it's own glucose through the process known as gluconeogenesis and the brain can use that amount of glucose just fine. Most people who limit carbohydrates, and even go as low as to induce ketosis, talk about how much their brain fog lifted.

Love to see this discussion with Dr. Phinney. He's a legend! Great job Mike.

Excellent discussion!!!
Shame with the background noises, but great and informal talk.

Am I the only crossfitter carnivore lion deto?
him pretending to know what dr phinney is talking about was kind of annoying
Carbs are essential for brain actually and you need at least 120 grams for it to function since it cant use fatty acids for energy

LOL

You need 120 grams for it function ??! Clearly your brain is not functioning.
