That's what I thought, if I had been *Keto or strict carnivore* I would easily reach 120 years old and in excellent health 🥩🍗🍖🥓🍳 Eggs without the white, as the white part is intolerable for most people in the world
I was married to a vegan for 15 years. During that time I saw my weight go from 180 to 254 only eating salads, rice, pasta, beans, legumes, wholegrain bread, and fruit. Finally at 70 years old when I got divorced, my doc told me to either change my lifestyle or I'd probably be dead in 4 years. I went keto in 2020 and carnivore in 2022. Today I'm 75. I weigh 165 and no longer have any health issues. I think that the vegan doctor in this video has screws loose. I am living proof keto and carnivore work.
Thank you for sharing your story. Carnivore is stabilizing my schizophrenia, bipolar, and bpd; among so many other ailments at only 29 years young. Today is Day 60, I woke up crying I am so proud I have made it this far.
Congratulations on being on the board of the newly formed American Diabetes Society with Drs. Ken Berry and Ben Bikman. I hope that Drs. Robert Cywes and Anthony Chaffee contribute also to this important organization.
The thing that makes me roll my eyes about the Keto Kills guy: he doesn't actually get into any science or hypotheses as to why keto would be bad or any of the mechanisms behind it. Rather, he presents lots of different people's opinions or anecdotes that "everyone" knows are true. Poor to zero science in his arguments.
I started Keto in 2019. I’m still at it with no intention of changing. It took me years, in spite of feeling great and hearing all the evidence to the contrary, to finally get over my fear of fat and the belief that Keto is dangerous. I guess that’s what 40 years of programming from the low fat/meat bad narrative does.
😵 my husband and I have been doing a keto carnivore diet for the past three years. We’re both 40 poundsLighter Tons of energy ?we’re in our 60s and now you tell me what I’m doing is bad and it’s gonna kill me when I’m in better shape than I was in my mid 40s.🤦🏻♀️. I’m good I’ll continue to do what feels right for my body…
My domestic partner and I have been eating keto/ketovore/carnivore since 2019, we've never experienced any of the so called"negative" side effects this plant based doc is espousing. We have however experienced weight loss, better gut health, no more heartburn, reversal of T2D, lower triglycrides, better sleep, better mood, reversal of deppresion, improved mobility, and most importantly, WE"RE NOT DEAD. P.S. we eat lots and lots of beef.
Then how come my ketovore pregnancy at 44 ( big suprise as carnivore reversed my menopause symptoms) is the easiest , best pregnancy ive had!!! Low blood pressure , no swelling, lots of energy, great sized baby so far!
Wow, that's so wonderful, my wife's last pregnance at 41 was agony, we didn't start keto until 2019, our son was already on keto by the time he turned 16, took us a few years to catch up. Best of luck to you and your family.
I always considered keto and carnivore as a "temporary diet" for me. I lost 100 pounds, then went back to eating 60% carbs. Stupid. Gained 50 pounds back and was sick a lot. Now I'm carnivore again, healthy, and weight is falling off. I'm 60, and plan to stick to keto/carnivore until the end of my life, which I believe will be longer with my current lifestyle.
Yeah, me too. I didn’t gain as much, but I also didn’t raise my carbs that high either. Now I’m trying to dust myself off and get back on the bandwagon. It’s hard to really realize that you can’t eat the way your cravings tell you too, without getting fat and sick.
I had a similar mind set as well; I’ve done low-carb several times before. Finally went full carnivore in January and all of the improvements, I’ll never go back.
I definitely agree with you 💯 🧈🧈🧈 My Cardiologist told me 9 years ago that I will die from high cholesterol😂 He made sure that I was aware of the dangerous of High Cholesterol, so he made some notes that I refused Cholesterol meds😉 I’m still here 9 years later 😃😅and my Cholesterol still extremely high😃I love ❤️ the fact that I’m fat adapted🧈🧈🧈and I love it 🥰
I did ketogenic lifestyle for 22 years (started at age 50). Lost 50 pounds and reversed pre-diabetes. Then went carnivore lifestyle about a year ago and have reversed what I think was long covid (had covid in December 2021). Lost 20 pounds, gained strength and muscle mass back, and better sleep. Age 73, still alive and back to regular exercising and weight training. Life is great!
Ricki Lake just came out that she lost weight and improved her health by adopting a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting lifestyle. She bucked her doctor's recommendation for weight loss medication and says she is now in the best health of her life.
Resorting to sensational theatrics is typically a red flag that someone is going to debate from an emotional subjective perspective rather than a rational objective perspective.
I saw a video on youtube of a young male vegan zealot who was actually arguing vegans should kill meat eaters, now that is a "debate" from a crazed emotional prespective.
*I had very high blood sugar I only managed to improve my health when I found a WONDERFUL treatment,❤❤ if you want to know about it, I left the video in the comment reply*
Trust God when you pray it works. He said all we need to do is ask in prayers. My testimony spans from penury to $47,000 bimonthly, and you stay and doubt that he doesn't answer prayers. Make that altar now and spend time there. A change is on the way. Amen!!!

I went keto about three months ago and will never look back at being vegan/vegetarian for two years. The results I’ve experienced in a matter of weeks was unexpected and actually shocking. Because it’s probably the easiest lifestyle change I’ve made in my life. I’m not nearly as hungry,heavy head is going away,exercise is easier and increasing. And my diabetic medication is sitting on the shelf. Oh and I lost forty pounds and regular twenty four hour fasting is not as bad as I thought it would be. I haven’t tried two or three day fasting yet. But I will
Dr. Westman, thank you so much for your outstanding discussion on this important topic. It is this type of information which helps us "metabolically challenged" patients push back on our "vegan" cardiologists who want us on a high carb, "plant based" diet. Here is the problem, however. When I tried to have a reasonable talk about the pros and cons of the various diets, my "preventive" (i.e. vegoon) cardiologist first gaslighted me about the dangers of the keto/carnivore diet. Then he wanted me to start on a PCSK9 inhibitor immediately. Then he said he did NOT need to see me anymore because I would not follow his advice. Unfortunately, this is the state of American cardiology in 2024!
All I know is that I was a Vegetarian for a number of years and I still have heart desease and HF. AT 76 I went on ,a low carb diet then keto then carnivore occasionally I still add veggies or have a Big salad. But I lost weight, my BP went down, no more palpitations. I no longer have a thyroid (no cancer) and the diet stabilized my thyroid meds. I am having pancreas issues and very very small cyst at the tail. Just need follow thru with MRI in 6 months. Diet for pancrease is a Carb Diet, low fat and NO RED MEAT. I decided after some research to take Bile salts, to break down fats that helps the pancrease and gallbladder and a couple of supplements to help my gallbladder that has also been stressed. I have 2 friends that are Vegans. They are Seniors, they both have CANCER. STAGE 4; they went to Mexico for treatment. I also lost a Vegan doctor who died of Stomach Cancer.
Im going to combine vegan, chemo, and cocaine. Will update shorty. Update: I started with the cocaine first. Cancelled my chemo appointment to get more and have finally been able to chew through a coconut husk for my nutrients. Resting heart rate currently 220. FULL OF ENERGY! Last update. RIP.
Dr. Westman, thank you. This video is fantastic. There is a phenomenol drive that eating animals is immoral, which is quite reasonable, but that doesn't mean it is unhealthy. Give me unprocessed plant protein and fats without the carbohydrates which, due to a lifestyle misstep, my body struggles to metabolise then whoopee. In the meantime I think a meat and fish inclusive low carb diet will do for me.
When I was a veggie heavy consumer and was a high carb dieter my Triglycerides were high, my HDL was low, I had horrible Gurd, sleep apnea, I was 100 lbs overwieght, with High Blood Pressure, I was "pre" diabetic and I was dealing with depression. On a Ketovor diet, fatty meat heavy, low carb, no sugar and with fasting. Almost every symptom is gone. I'm down 65 pounds, my LIPID panel made my Dr. Smile. I have a lot more energy and feel better then I have in 30 years. I'm never going back to eating a heavy carb lifecstyle. This Vegan, Dr in the video is Nuckin Futz.
It's not a bad diet. I changed to almost completely carnivore at the age of 40, on the orders of my immunologist for very good reasons. I was very ill. Now I'm seventy-two and very healthy. It changed my life in a couple of weeks. I'll never, never go back to eating vegetable matter, herbs, spices, food additive, ( not that I did) preservatives, colours, artificial flavours, or any fruit at all.
so ken berry & w starting American Diabetes Society. ken berry may be crazy, but it's a great idea! Yes, Yes, Yes !! This is a heartfelt topic for lots of us. I wish them success. In there words of Mr. John Lennon: IMAGINE
Thank you for taking the time to go through all of this. Keto is the first eating lifestyle I have found where I am not always feeling like I need to eat.
Great response … when God came to Earth and walked amongst us - He ate meat. The first animal that died was killed by God to clothe Adam & Eve. We were given dominion over animals …
Dr. Westman, I appreciate your responses to all these outright lies. I'm a 74 yo female with Celiac, T2D, hypothyroidism who started Keto in February of 2017. I went Carnivore back in December 2023. I have been off metformin for a long time now. I am an experiment in myself.
I was 23 when I'd first started keto and lost my period for three months. I realized though that due to the research it was because I did lose weight from inflammation and I was already very thin to begin with, and as I adapted more and more to it my hormones rebalanced and weight started to come back on, my period returned. I also attributed the loss of period to stress given my body wasn't used to this way of eating at first.
I was very low carb keto for 8 yrs. No processed food. No fruit starch sugar. All veggie and protein. I had been vegetarian. So I added fish and eggs. 1.5yr ago I changed to Carnivore. I only had to remove veggies. But added beef butter bacon eggs and salt. OMG!! Everything is healing ! FIRST IBS gone. Itchy flaky ears (for years) went away. Gingivitis and receeding gums healed and grew back!!! The list Goes on. I’m 68 and feel 40!!!!
My brother had colon cancer and I asked his cancer dr if diet would make a difference in reoccurrence of cancer and he said diet won’t help prevention . I put my brother on a low carb diet .He is almost 5 years out and all his scans and blood work have been perfect PLUS ALL his other blood work numbers have been greatly improved .no longer pre diabetic ,ldl did go up but still in a healthy range .
So appreciate you calling attention to these ill-informed vegetarians. I've been 12 years low carb with the last 2 years being ketovore. I've never felt better. My inflammation is down, and my IBS is corrected. I'm a meat eater for life and will preach it from the tallest mountain. Don't fall prey to flawed research paid for by vegans and vegetarians.
Please review the videos from Cyrus Khambatta his message has some interesting points but he advocates a mostly plant based diet will low fat and definitely not keto or carnivore and claims that fat consumption is the reason for insulin resistance. Your advice has helped me improve my health and loose nearly 80 pounds. Thank you.
1921 was the first I read it came out by name, keto, for epileptics and if it can save epileptic children and people with type 2 it should be good enough for anyone.
It's really absurd and laughable seeing Dr. Westman with his calm, professional presentation react to these other "doctors" videos with all the wild theatrics and bizarre editing to deceptively grab the viewers' attention. I kind of feel like I am in a fever dream watching the absurdity of other doctors' videos. So much weird extra crap pooped out on the screen, like all those weird subscribe and like button animations. Since so many creators, even so-called educators, have taken this shameful practice, I guess I got used to it and am grateful Dr. Westman points it all out. Sometimes we need someone to criticize this nonsense, status quo is not always ideal... Anyways, great video. Definitely always get a good belly laugh when watching Dr. Westman react to these "doctors".
Raccoon eyes? I've been on a ketogenic diet for almost two years and even forgot I used to get them when I was tired. Used to freak out my significant others it was so bad, gone now. This guy is a joke, present the studies, not this psuedo science nonsense. Reminds me of Readers Digest articles.
This reminds me of a twitch streamer that went on a rant at the mere mention of keto. His raccoon eyes probably would've been improved if he knew the real benefits of keto instead of parroting mainstream ignorance.
@@RyshaadHaha, yeah. I always wondered why I got them because I ate meat and only noticed them on vegans and vegetarians. My dad gets them too so I figured it was genetics, now I know different!
I've been carnivore for 5 months and unfortunately I have those black circles under my eyes. I used to have them when on a standard diet, but every time when I changed to a Mediterranean diet they disappeared in about a week. I've been searching the internet for an answer as to why do I have them on carnivore but the only person I've found who's resolved it had folate deficiency. I've been supplementing with folate for 5 days now, no change so far. Does anyone have any idea what could be causing them?
@@jovotszebb367 Interesting! I was doing pretty much the Mediterranean Diet for over a decade prior to ketogenic and still got them like I always did, when tired. I don't know why either, I also have searched and not found anything. Are yours all the time or just when tired?
Dr. Westman i really appreciate the way you present things, the mere fact that you ask that doctor every year for evidence of any negative thing against the ketogenic diet tells me that you put people first and is continuously seeking knowledge on this diet, even with 25 years experience. while, of course, you will have some biases for the ketogenic diet . I also find that you have some flexibility in some areas of the diet.What i would like to know, I have not seen you address in any of your videos, that after people reverse their type2 diabetes and lose weight, how do they maintain iT? Do they remain for the rest of their lives eating the same way or are they allow to introduce, in moderation, SOME whole foods, like low sugar fruits, and what about vegetables.? I was able to lose 21 lbs from January to end of april on a low carb diet, usual amount of protein and less maybe less fat that i would normally consume, cut out all processed foods and sugars, ( still had some carbs that is not allowed in keto and fruit sparingly consumed , it was not low as a keto die,)together with fasting.I made the error of going for a blood test immediately at the end of the month of fasting in April and my cholesterol went from 208 in December to 216, Tg from 119 to 50, HDL from 52 to 56 and ldl from 132 to 150! I am at the lower end of my bmi with the current weight loss. My AIC went from 5.4 to 5.2. ( My normal diet before that was meat and carbs, less fat, but much more carbs than meat)
My Aunt Ruby, My Dad, and My Mom all died at age 67, I'm almost there and although I lost my lower right leg about 4 years ago, God introducing me to fasting and keto has helped me to reverse my type 2 Diabetes, and improve my blood pressure and cholesterol. I'm slow but I can walk a little further without getting as tired as quick as I did when I had my leg. I thank God for the Keto "diet"
It's sad to learn about this diet war. Why can't these different diets & lifestyles not coexist? A whole food plant-based diet, a ketogenic diet, and other diets. Scientists and medics should study and focus on high-risk culprits like ultra-processed foods, transfats, stress, etc.
"...reaffirmed that I want to live in the south where there's no ice so I'll reduce my chance of slipping on the ice and bumping my head." Best Dr. Westman quote ever.
Demanding pledges in order to join an organization, smacks of hivemind. Or for those unfamiliar with the "hivemind" term, here is another one. Groupthink.
Such baloney I got rid 2 arrhythmias and regurgitating aortic valve after 6 years now normal. my hyperthyroid now normalI eat 20 carbs 70 mg protein and 100-150 fat 77 yrs went from size 8 to size 4 … I now look great and feel great.
He’s right! Keto killed the person I was one year ago. Today I’m off my Metformin, my last A1c was 5.2, my HDL went up from 36 to 51, my insulin came down from 41 to 28.5, I’ve lost 70lbs. I feel better at 51 than I felt at 32, when I wasn’t able to have a baby and then got uterine cancer (chance for baby gone), then later was diagnosed with MS. So, if all that is what I get for not being on Keto…well, I think the choice is pretty obvious.
LOL the Mayo Clinic. No comments allowed on their TH-cam videos, especially notice no comments on their videos with terrible advice. Oh man. He really included athletes as people who shouldn’t use Ketogenic metabolic therapy. Someone get that guy the new Ketogenic book for doctors.
Hello Eric Westman, Thank you for the great work and for sharing your knowledge, This vegan doctor still doesn't understand!!!! *What counts is the practice of the result, not baseless theory* Knowledge is Power, its practice in your life proves its efficiency or its fragility Seek knowledge tirelessly about how to nourish your body and mind, then put it into practice and you will see the power of dietary change in practice. Unfortunately, a lot of lies are being told at least 100 years ago, and making people increasingly sick, fragile and sad. *Depression, schizophrenia among other brain diseases is a malnourished body, a malnourished body is Depression and Schizophrenia among other brain diseases*
health risks are overblown - they are confusing transition to fat burning with long term and don't define what a keto diet is. I remember an Australian Dietician who is now a professor, talking years ago about 'the risks' and how it might cause heart problems and his reference was a study where they infused the circulatory system of a dog with fat - to the point of causing arrhythmia. Mmmmm. no really the same as eating fat in context of food is it. I was on the keto diet at the time, and I remember laughing because they were talking about keto 'stink' (crotch), and how its associated with all cause mortality. I was on my way to a rowing event, and I was in ketosis and could power row for hours - my snack was a few macadamias but I thought if I died in a car crash or drowned, it would be a 'keto diet death' LOL
The blue zones hmm people buy their food fresh and local from small circulair farms the soil is not depleted which means the food they eat atleast have the right nutrients and are not poisened by chemicals. Right now most plant foods have perhaps 30 or 40 % of the nutrients they should have and 3 times the sugar they should have. 30 years back i loved green apples with their somewhat bitter and fresh taste now they are so sweet i can t stand them any more .
The pros, cons, conflicting info problems with diets is money. along with "research" and "studies". Nobody does research and studies for free. Someone somewhere provides funding for these exercises. Many are corporations or government who are placating political donors with studies to come up with a "scientific" conclusion favorable to their industry and products.
3:53 keto diet 24/24, hahaha 😂 what a doctor teaching his audiences the opinions of a group of people’s voting result as a fact. Science is not the result of a group expert voting on something.
He can say whatever he wants, I was following his dietary pattern, 60 years old, weighed 200 lbs, diabetic taking 3 pills per day, my doctor wanted to put me on more pills plus a statin. I was getting worse every year. Went on keto, lost 50 lbs. No more pills, all lab markers were great. Either I am not like everyone else who does keto, or he is wrong in his advice.
I've been keto for 4 years now and that fixed a few health issues I was having. My blood work is excellent now and my heart health is way better now and I can go all out Sprint workouts 3 times a week now with weight training. I'm so tired of these wacko vegan peoples BS. And I'm omnivore, I eat lots of quality meats, eggs, dairy, veggies, berries, nuts, olives and olive oil and dark chocolate. But i keep my diet very low carb and I keep getting healthier !
I hate grains, carbohydrates and processed food. I love dairy, meat, fish, eggs and fatty foods like dark chocolate, avocados coconut oil, butter, cream, cheese, lard. I wouldn't eat beans, grains, processed food like breads or pasta 🤮🤢 they taste like crap and they're toxic for us 🤮🤢
He tried it? It definitely killed him! He tried it, felt amazing, and every time he think about how miserable he was as a vegan, he dies a little inside...
Any ideea why in 2 months of mainly meat (mostly pig and chicken), eggs, butter and low carb veggies my triglycerides skyrocketed from 70 to 250+? Sugar, very low from fruits or peanut butter, rare also, no seed oils or other processed foods? Of course cholesterol and LDL were also very high with HDL in good range.
I’d hazard a guess it’s the Omega 6 from pig and chicken. Ruminant meats (beef, lamb etc) have a higher omega 3 profile. Omega 3 is better for us than Omega 6.
Could be for a number of reasons, simply eating too much can increase triglycerides. Also, triglyceride levels are not a marker for anything when they analyse levels from people who present with heart disease they find a standard deviation which means nothing to see here.
Just expected to be close to before, both time fasted 12h before blood tests. Also vldl was high. Waiting for apob to see if that also increased. Pretty hard to find comparative data though to put my mind at ease :)
My oncology office keeps giant bowls of candy on every countertop and offers carb loaded snacks during chemo treatments. So, I have zero trust in the American Cancer Society's opinion on the matter of diet.
The cardo makes the same mistake in referencing cave men as having a life expectancy of 35, forgetting that the low age reflects a high infant mortality distorting the average age of death. People didn't just routinely die in their 30s.
I don’t know what that guy is talking about or where he gets his other information. I was a vegan ones not a crazy one, but I was a vegan ones for buddy year maybe a little bit more and it really destroyed my gut badly now as far as he said, brain fog, I’m doing more of a carnivore, but being on keto is all ketohas completely cured my brain fog completely totally different person. I don’t know how you do it. I get irritated.
I've come to the conclusion that cardiologist don't really know what they are talking about but many are good technicians (Thanks for the stents), the real question is what is going on in the arterial environment, but doctors rely on bloodwork instead of what is going on in the arteries & they have different explanations of what's going on. So as a researcher myself, I am not impressed.
I have a question I need help with. On Keto the % of your eating is 70% fat, 25% protine and 5% carbs. So if you are on OMAD or eat over a period of time and you are going to consume 100g of protine you will need 20g of carbs and then 280g of Fat. How do you consume 280g of fat ???? This meal or eating plan would equal 3,000 calories. - if 100g = 25% of the meal then the meal is 400g so 5% of 400g is 20g of carbs and 70% of 400g is 280g of fat !!!!!!!!
You absolutely do not need to consume 70% of your calories from fat in order to be in ketosis (70% fat is therapeutic ketosis, such as for a seizure disorder). Many keto influencers recommend lowering your dietary fat if you have a lot of fat to lose, as your body will utilize its own fat for energy. There are many online macros calculators to help determine your macros percentages / calories. The numbers work, I lost 70 pounds eating these way.
@@janineelliott6766 I take your point, but even fasting overnight one can be in Ketosis even if not intending to be on any diet. The 70, 25 and 5 %s is the standard formula for Keto, this is being pushed for metabolic health and possibly retard the development of cancer in later life. This is my motivation for trying Keto, so I can spend the longest time with my Family. If you change the %s you are on a different diet like carnicore, paleo or mediterranean, all will probably put you into some degree of Ketosis but that does not mean you are on a Ketogenic diet. There are body builders who change the %s because they want to increase muscle mass but still insist they are on the Keto diet, they are not, they have more than likely moved into a carnivore diet........... There are many people who are on a restricted carb, protine and fat diet and yes they do lose weight, but that does'nt mean they are on a Ketogenic diet.......... just saying.
@@andyc7747 Thanks for your reply Andy, I take on board what you say and it is a way to plan a diet - but it is not the Ketogenic diet. In my case this calculation would give me 176g of protine which means on a Keto plan the 70% fat would mean consuming 493g of fat !!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
70% fat is about calories not grams. In your example, if you consume 100g of protein and 20g of carbs that would be equal to 480 calories which is 30% of 1600 calories. 1120cal are left for fat : that's about 124g of fat not 280g. Here you have a total of 1600cal, 70% fat (124g or 1120cal), 25% proteins (100g or 480 cal) and 5% carbs (20g or 80cal)
If you wonder why the media is relentlessly critical of keto and low carb diets just ask yourself how much money Coca Cola, Nestle, and other big food companies spend on advertising.
Where did you find this rabbit that's clearly so high on sugar he can't get his words out fast enough. He'd be jumping up and down if he thought we'd believe him.
Hes right. Keto killed my uncle at age 106. We were all shocked.

No it doesn’t… get real..
@skepticalmechanic I nearly thought no! Not another one! But reading through comments to the end, I think this is sarcasm. 106! Pretty good age!

I always considered keto and carnivore as a "temporary diet" for me. I lost 100 pounds, then went back to eating 60% carbs. Stupid. Gained 50 pounds back and was sick a lot. Now I'm carnivore again, healthy, and weight is falling off. I'm 60, and plan to stick to keto/carnivore until the end of my life, which I believe will be longer with my current lifestyle.
Yeah, me too. I didn’t gain as much, but I also didn’t raise my carbs that high either. Now I’m trying to dust myself off and get back on the bandwagon. It’s hard to really realize that you can’t eat the way your cravings tell you too, without getting fat and sick.
I had a similar mind set as well; I’ve done low-carb several times before. Finally went full carnivore in January and all of the improvements, I’ll never go back.
YES! Keto killed me and I’m glad. I hate who I was on sugar. The new fat burning me is more chill, empathetic all around happier.

I definitely agree with you 💯 🧈🧈🧈
My Cardiologist told me 9 years ago that I will die from high cholesterol😂
He made sure that I was aware of the dangerous of High Cholesterol, so he made some notes that I refused Cholesterol meds😉

I did ketogenic lifestyle for 22 years (started at age 50). Lost 50 pounds and reversed pre-diabetes. Then went carnivore lifestyle about a year ago and have reversed what I think was long covid (had covid in December 2021). Lost 20 pounds, gained strength and muscle mass back, and better sleep. Age 73, still alive and back to regular exercising and weight training. Life is great!
This guy should be flattered that you validated his verbal vomit with a response. Ketosis for life. ❤
Ricki Lake just came out that she lost weight and improved her health by adopting a ketogenic diet and intermittent fasting lifestyle. She bucked her doctor's recommendation for weight loss medication and says she is now in the best health of her life.
Ricki Lake is an American television host and actress. She is known for her lead role as Tracy Turnblad in the 1988 film Hairspray,
I love Ricki! Wow.
Of course she's in the best health of her life, we who follow Dr. Westmen get that.
Had to google. She looks amazing!
Resorting to sensational theatrics is typically a red flag that someone is going to debate from an emotional subjective perspective rather than a rational objective perspective.
I saw a video on youtube of a young male vegan zealot who was actually arguing vegans should kill meat eaters, now that is a "debate" from a crazed emotional prespective.
If people are trying to manipulate your feelings, they are either lying to you or they want you to buy something.
This "doctor" is right up there with Dr Greger in terms of quackery.

All I'm waiting for next is the obnoxious voice and the "uiiieeeuhhuuuuuuuuuummmmmbbbba".

What is it you do ?
I went keto about three months ago and will never look back at being vegan/vegetarian for two years. The results I’ve experienced in a matter of weeks was unexpected and actually shocking. Because it’s probably the easiest lifestyle change I’ve made in my life. I’m not nearly as hungry,heavy head is going away,exercise is easier and increasing. And my diabetic medication is sitting on the shelf. Oh and I lost forty pounds and regular twenty four hour fasting is not as bad as I thought it would be. I haven’t tried two or three day fasting yet. But I will
Dr. Westman, thank you so much for your outstanding discussion on this important topic. It is this type of information which helps us "metabolically challenged" patients push back on our "vegan" cardiologists who want us on a high carb, "plant based" diet. Here is the problem, however. When I tried to have a reasonable talk about the pros and cons of the various diets, my "preventive" (i.e. vegoon) cardiologist first gaslighted me about the dangers of the keto/carnivore diet. Then he wanted me to start on a PCSK9 inhibitor immediately. Then he said he did NOT need to see me anymore because I would not follow his advice. Unfortunately, this is the state of American cardiology in 2024!
All I know is that I was a Vegetarian for a number of years and I still have heart desease and HF. AT 76 I went on ,a low carb diet then keto then carnivore occasionally I still add veggies or have a Big salad. But I lost weight, my BP went down, no more palpitations. I no longer have a thyroid (no cancer) and the diet stabilized my thyroid meds. I am having pancreas issues and very very small cyst at the tail. Just need follow thru with MRI in 6 months. Diet for pancrease is a Carb Diet, low fat and NO RED MEAT. I decided after some research to take Bile salts, to break down fats that helps the pancrease and gallbladder and a couple of supplements to help my gallbladder that has also been stressed. I have 2 friends that are Vegans. They are Seniors, they both have CANCER. STAGE 4; they went to Mexico for treatment. I also lost a Vegan doctor who died of Stomach Cancer.
This guy was so confident in his words he had to read the from a script. Thanks again Dr Westman for exposing these people.
Im going to combine vegan, chemo, and cocaine. Will update shorty.
Update: I started with the cocaine first. Cancelled my chemo appointment to get more and have finally been able to chew through a coconut husk for my nutrients.

I hope that that mix does not kill your sense of humor! I loved your comment. Thank you for a heartfelt laugh.
LOLOLOL!
Lol! Who wrote the RIP?😂
Dr. Westman, thank you. This video is fantastic. There is a phenomenol drive that eating animals is immoral, which is quite reasonable, but that doesn't mean it is unhealthy. Give me unprocessed plant protein and fats without the carbohydrates which, due to a lifestyle misstep, my body struggles to metabolise then whoopee. In the meantime I think a meat and fish inclusive low carb diet will do for me.
When I was a veggie heavy consumer and was a high carb dieter my Triglycerides were high, my HDL was low, I had horrible Gurd, sleep apnea, I was 100 lbs overwieght, with High Blood Pressure, I was "pre" diabetic and I was dealing with depression. On a Ketovor diet, fatty meat heavy, low carb, no sugar and with fasting. Almost every symptom is gone. I'm down 65 pounds, my LIPID panel made my Dr. Smile. I have a lot more energy and feel better then I have in 30 years. I'm never going back to eating a heavy carb lifecstyle. This Vegan, Dr in the video is Nuckin Futz.
It's not a bad diet. I changed to almost completely carnivore at the age of 40, on the orders of my immunologist for very good reasons. I was very ill. Now I'm seventy-two and very healthy. It changed my life in a couple of weeks. I'll never, never go back to eating vegetable matter, herbs, spices, food additive, ( not that I did) preservatives, colours, artificial flavours, or any fruit at all.
Thank you for sticking to the facts and not getting caught up in th emotion.
Your logical thinking makes me so happy Dr Westman!!
Once again Dr Westman, I so appreciate your balanced thoughtful response, to the talking points by ideologues.

Thank you for taking the time to go through all of this. Keto is the first eating lifestyle I have found where I am not always feeling like I need to eat.
Great response … when God came to Earth and walked amongst us - He ate meat. The first animal that died was killed by God to clothe Adam & Eve. We were given dominion over animals …
Amen!😮
Dr. Westman, I appreciate your responses to all these outright lies. I'm a 74 yo female with Celiac, T2D, hypothyroidism who started Keto in February of 2017. I went Carnivore back in December 2023. I have been off metformin for a long time now. I am an experiment in myself.
I really enjoy your critique of these assertions and research findings.
I’m 52 and 225 days of no period. Started keto and my period returned. Very interesting.
I was 23 when I'd first started keto and lost my period for three months. I realized though that due to the research it was because I did lose weight from inflammation and I was already very thin to begin with, and as I adapted more and more to it my hormones rebalanced and weight started to come back on, my period returned. I also attributed the loss of period to stress given my body wasn't used to this way of eating at first.

I was very low carb keto for 8 yrs. No processed food. No fruit starch sugar. All veggie and protein. I had been vegetarian. So I added fish and eggs. 1.5yr ago I changed to Carnivore. I only had to remove veggies. But added beef butter bacon eggs and salt. OMG!! Everything is healing ! FIRST IBS gone. Itchy flaky ears (for years) went away. Gingivitis and receeding gums healed and grew back!!! The list
Goes on. I’m 68 and feel 40!!!!
Thank you Dr. The fact that you kept a straight face at the start of this video made me laugh, consummate professional 🤣
One thing that gets me is the government hammers “trust the science” but the science constantly changes.
Science that cannot be questioned is religion.
Most of it is not even science, its pseudo science, epidemiology, opinion and outright lies.
And science, especially health and nutrition science, is so often corrupted.
This guy sounds like the cardiologist I fired. Keto is not good for this bottom line. On the way out the door he whispered “it’s the sugar”.
My brother had colon cancer and I asked his cancer dr if diet would make a difference in reoccurrence of cancer and he said diet won’t help prevention . I put my brother on a low carb diet .He is almost 5 years out and all his scans and blood work have been perfect PLUS ALL his other blood work numbers have been greatly improved .no longer pre diabetic ,ldl did go up but still in a healthy range .
👍🤞
Awesome, good job.
So appreciate you calling attention to these ill-informed vegetarians. I've been 12 years low carb with the last 2 years being ketovore. I've never felt better. My inflammation is down, and my IBS is corrected. I'm a meat eater for life and will preach it from the tallest mountain. Don't fall prey to flawed research paid for by vegans and vegetarians.
Dr Westman do you ever talk about the microbiome ?
Did i miss something?? Where was his proof? Oh, i see, he gad none. Now i understand. Ty
Please review the videos from Cyrus Khambatta his message has some interesting points but he advocates a mostly plant based diet will low fat and definitely not keto or carnivore and claims that fat consumption is the reason for insulin resistance. Your advice has helped me improve my health and loose nearly 80 pounds. Thank you.
1921 was the first I read it came out by name, keto, for epileptics and if it can save epileptic children and people with type 2 it should be good enough for anyone.
It's really absurd and laughable seeing Dr. Westman with his calm, professional presentation react to these other "doctors" videos with all the wild theatrics and bizarre editing to deceptively grab the viewers' attention. I kind of feel like I am in a fever dream watching the absurdity of other doctors' videos. So much weird extra crap pooped out on the screen, like all those weird subscribe and like button animations. Since so many creators, even so-called educators, have taken this shameful practice, I guess I got used to it and am grateful Dr. Westman points it all out. Sometimes we need someone to criticize this nonsense, status quo is not always ideal...
Anyways, great video. Definitely always get a good belly laugh when watching Dr. Westman react to these "doctors".
Raccoon eyes? I've been on a ketogenic diet for almost two years and even forgot I used to get them when I was tired. Used to freak out my significant others it was so bad, gone now.
This guy is a joke, present the studies, not this psuedo science nonsense. Reminds me of Readers Digest articles.
This reminds me of a twitch streamer that went on a rant at the mere mention of keto. His raccoon eyes probably would've been improved if he knew the real benefits of keto instead of parroting mainstream ignorance.
@@RyshaadHaha, yeah. I always wondered why I got them because I ate meat and only noticed them on vegans and vegetarians. My dad gets them too so I figured it was genetics, now I know different!
Yeah I only see those eyes on vegans or people who work out too much.
I've been carnivore for 5 months and unfortunately I have those black circles under my eyes.
I used to have them when on a standard diet, but every time when I changed to a Mediterranean diet they disappeared in about a week.
I've been searching the internet for an answer as to why do I have them on carnivore but the only person I've found who's resolved it had folate deficiency. I've been supplementing with folate for 5 days now, no change so far.
Does anyone have any idea what could be causing them?
@@jovotszebb367 Interesting! I was doing pretty much the Mediterranean Diet for over a decade prior to ketogenic and still got them like I always did, when tired. I don't know why either, I also have searched and not found anything.
Are yours all the time or just when tired?
Dr. Westman i really appreciate the way you present things, the mere fact that you ask that doctor every year for evidence of any negative thing against the ketogenic diet tells me that you put people first and is continuously seeking knowledge on this diet, even with 25 years experience. while, of course, you will have some biases for the ketogenic diet . I also find that you have some flexibility in some areas of the diet.What i would like to know, I have not seen you address in any of your videos, that after people reverse their type2 diabetes and lose weight, how do they maintain iT? Do they remain for the rest of their lives eating the same way or are they allow to introduce, in moderation, SOME whole foods, like low sugar fruits, and what about vegetables.? I was able to lose 21 lbs from January to end of april on a low carb diet, usual amount of protein and less maybe less fat that i would normally consume, cut out all processed foods and sugars, ( still had some carbs that is not allowed in keto and fruit sparingly consumed , it was not low as a keto die,)together with fasting.I made the error of going for a blood test immediately at the end of the month of fasting in April and my cholesterol went from 208 in December to 216, Tg from 119 to 50, HDL from 52 to 56 and ldl from 132 to 150! I am at the lower end of my bmi with the current weight loss. My AIC went from 5.4 to 5.2. ( My normal diet before that was meat and carbs, less fat, but much more carbs than meat)
I would say do what works and what you can keep doing forever.
My Aunt Ruby, My Dad, and My Mom all died at age 67, I'm almost there and although I lost my lower right leg about 4 years ago, God introducing me to fasting and keto has helped me to reverse my type 2 Diabetes, and improve my blood pressure and cholesterol. I'm slow but I can walk a little further without getting as tired as quick as I did when I had my leg. I thank God for the Keto "diet"
It's sad to learn about this diet war. Why can't these different diets & lifestyles not coexist? A whole food plant-based diet, a ketogenic diet, and other diets. Scientists and medics should study and focus on high-risk culprits like ultra-processed foods, transfats, stress, etc.
True!
Makes me want to go to his video and tell him what I really think! But I wouldn't want to give him the view!
Thanks Eric!

Many vegans seem to be okay with lying. Keto is a good diet.
He’s right! Keto killed the person I was one year ago. Today I’m off my Metformin, my last A1c was 5.2, my HDL went up from 36 to 51, my insulin came down from 41 to 28.5, I’ve lost 70lbs. I feel better at 51 than I felt at 32, when I wasn’t able to have a baby and then got uterine cancer (chance for baby gone), then later was diagnosed with MS. So, if all that is what I get for not being on Keto…well, I think the choice is pretty obvious.
LOL the Mayo Clinic. No comments allowed on their TH-cam videos, especially notice no comments on their videos with terrible advice.
Oh man. He really included athletes as people who shouldn’t use Ketogenic metabolic therapy.
Someone get that guy the new Ketogenic book for doctors.

*What counts is the practice of the result, not baseless theory*
Knowledge is Power, its practice in your life proves its efficiency or its fragility
Seek knowledge tirelessly about how to nourish your body and mind, then put it into practice and you will see the power of dietary change in practice.

Geeze. My HDL triglyceride ratio is .3. Even my LDL is lower on a keto woe
health risks are overblown - they are confusing transition to fat burning with long term and don't define what a keto diet is. I remember an Australian Dietician who is now a professor, talking years ago about 'the risks' and how it might cause heart problems and his reference was a study where they infused the circulatory system of a dog with fat - to the point of causing arrhythmia. Mmmmm. no really the same as eating fat in context of food is it. I was on the keto diet at the time, and I remember laughing because they were talking about keto 'stink' (crotch), and how its associated with all cause mortality. I was on my way to a rowing event, and I was in ketosis and could power row for hours - my snack was a few macadamias but I thought if I died in a car crash or drowned, it would be a 'keto diet death' LOL
Please do a video on the MPO Myeloperoxidase. I've never had this test before and mine is over 2500.
Oh darn, I was supposed to die 25 years ago I guess….. think I’ll keep taking my chances, although I’ve moved to carnivore so it could still happen!
The blue zones hmm people buy their food fresh and local from small circulair farms the soil is not depleted which means the food they eat atleast have the right nutrients and are not poisened by chemicals. Right now most plant foods have perhaps 30 or 40 % of the nutrients they should have and 3 times the sugar they should have. 30 years back i loved green apples with their somewhat bitter and fresh taste now they are so sweet i can t stand them any more .
The pros, cons, conflicting info problems with diets is money. along with "research" and "studies". Nobody does research and studies for free. Someone somewhere provides funding for these exercises. Many are corporations or government who are placating political donors with studies to come up with a "scientific" conclusion favorable to their industry and products.
I missed the science on cholesterol and heart attack evidenc÷ and science???
One apple a day would send me to the hospital cause of my pome fruit allergy...
3:53 keto diet 24/24, hahaha 😂 what a doctor teaching his audiences the opinions of a group of people’s voting result as a fact. Science is not the result of a group expert voting on something.
He can say whatever he wants, I was following his dietary pattern, 60 years old, weighed 200 lbs, diabetic taking 3 pills per day, my doctor wanted to put me on more pills plus a statin. I was getting worse every year. Went on keto, lost 50 lbs. No more pills, all lab markers were great. Either I am not like everyone else who does keto, or he is wrong in his advice.
I love my keto whiskey.
So where does this genius think B12 comes from? A vitamin bottle?
I've been keto for 4 years now and that fixed a few health issues I was having. My blood work is excellent now and my heart health is way better now and I can go all out Sprint workouts 3 times a week now with weight training. I'm so tired of these wacko vegan peoples BS. And I'm omnivore, I eat lots of quality meats, eggs, dairy, veggies, berries, nuts, olives and olive oil and dark chocolate. But i keep my diet very low carb and I keep getting healthier !
I thought injuries inside the artery walls r not the cause of atherosclerosis… n that was debunked already in a study??? No?

Any ideea why in 2 months of mainly meat (mostly pig and chicken), eggs, butter and low carb veggies my triglycerides skyrocketed from 70 to 250+? Sugar, very low from fruits or peanut butter, rare also, no seed oils or other processed foods? Of course cholesterol and LDL were also very high with HDL in good range.
I’d hazard a guess it’s the Omega 6 from pig and chicken. Ruminant meats (beef, lamb etc) have a higher omega 3 profile.
Omega 3 is better for us than Omega 6.
@@vickyb6588 Super. They should name it the beef diet them, makes more sense.
@@liviucristianionescu or just eat a wide variation of meat per week rather than just the 2 types high in omega 6 🤷♀️
Could be for a number of reasons, simply eating too much can increase triglycerides. Also, triglyceride levels are not a marker for anything when they analyse levels from people who present with heart disease they find a standard deviation which means nothing to see here.
Just expected to be close to before, both time fasted 12h before blood tests. Also vldl was high. Waiting for apob to see if that also increased. Pretty hard to find comparative data though to put my mind at ease :)
Thank you kind sir

The cardo makes the same mistake in referencing cave men as having a life expectancy of 35, forgetting that the low age reflects a high infant mortality distorting the average age of death. People didn't just routinely die in their 30s.
I don’t know what that guy is talking about or where he gets his other information. I was a vegan ones not a crazy one, but I was a vegan ones for buddy year maybe a little bit more and it really destroyed my gut badly now as far as he said, brain fog, I’m doing more of a carnivore, but being on keto is all ketohas completely cured my brain fog completely totally different person. I don’t know how you do it. I get irritated.
Life is dangerous you can die from it!
I've come to the conclusion that cardiologist don't really know what they are talking about but many are good technicians (Thanks for the stents), the real question is what is going on in the arterial environment, but doctors rely on bloodwork instead of what is going on in the arteries & they have different explanations of what's going on. So as a researcher myself, I am not impressed.
I have a question I need help with. On Keto the % of your eating is 70% fat, 25% protine and 5% carbs. So if you are on OMAD or eat over a period of time and you are going to consume 100g of protine you will need 20g of carbs and then 280g of Fat. How do you consume 280g of fat ???? This meal or eating plan would equal 3,000 calories. - if 100g = 25% of the meal then the meal is 400g so 5% of 400g is 20g of carbs and 70% of 400g is 280g of fat !!!!!!!!
You absolutely do not need to consume 70% of your calories from fat in order to be in ketosis (70% fat is therapeutic ketosis, such as for a seizure disorder). Many keto influencers recommend lowering your dietary fat if you have a lot of fat to lose, as your body will utilize its own fat for energy. There are many online macros calculators to help determine your macros percentages / calories. The numbers work, I lost 70 pounds eating these way.
@@janineelliott6766 I take your point, but even fasting overnight one can be in Ketosis even if not intending to be on any diet. The 70, 25 and 5 %s is the standard formula for Keto, this is being pushed for metabolic health and possibly retard the development of cancer in later life. This is my motivation for trying Keto, so I can spend the longest time with my Family. If you change the %s you are on a different diet like carnicore, paleo or mediterranean, all will probably put you into some degree of Ketosis but that does not mean you are on a Ketogenic diet. There are body builders who change the %s because they want to increase muscle mass but still insist they are on the Keto diet, they are not, they have more than likely moved into a carnivore diet........... There are many people who are on a restricted carb, protine and fat diet and yes they do lose weight, but that does'nt mean they are on a Ketogenic diet.......... just saying.
@@andyc7747 Thanks for your reply Andy, I take on board what you say and it is a way to plan a diet - but it is not the Ketogenic diet. In my case this calculation would give me 176g of protine which means on a Keto plan the 70% fat would mean consuming 493g of fat !!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂
70% fat is about calories not grams.
In your example, if you consume 100g of protein and 20g of carbs that would be equal to 480 calories which is 30% of 1600 calories. 1120cal are left for fat : that's about 124g of fat not 280g.
Here you have a total of 1600cal, 70% fat (124g or 1120cal), 25% proteins (100g or 480 cal) and 5% carbs (20g or 80cal)
Remember that 1 gram of fat is 9 calories versus 4 calories for protein or carb
I missed his science, we need bart kay to comment
I bet this guy prescribes Ozempic. 🤣🤣
If you wonder why the media is relentlessly critical of keto and low carb diets just ask yourself how much money Coca Cola, Nestle, and other big food companies spend on advertising.
