I was on Insulin for 15 Years after using the Diet, My doctor after looking at my labs, has taken me off all medication including insulin., I am so shocked after only 4 months on this diet. Thank You so much!
I am thrilled to see an obesity MD thinking outside the box and addressing how the body functions instead of pushing pills. Bravo, Dr. Westman! I have personally been on this diet 10 days and have lost 8#, to date. I have not been hungry at all. For me, this is so much more effective than fasting, and much more practical. Certainly an idea who's time has come.
Bravo, Debra! Have you tried time-resticted eating? Limiting food consumption to an 8 or even 6 hour window each day? The idea is to eat as much as we want during that time, but then to give our bodies time to digest, then repair, instead of eating almost the entire time we are awake. This works great by itself for some people, and can compliment a keto or low-carb diet, too. After adapting to a low carb or keto diet, many people find time restricted eating easy. Then fasting from dinner one day to dinner the next becomes easy. Some people find fasts up to 2 or 3 days, while drinking plenty of water, or course - to be beneficial. Other people feel they are doing just fine of low-carb or keto alone. Dr. Jason Fung MD has some good videos on fasting, if you have not seen them yet, and are interested. He also started an Intensive Dietary Management Program. He supports the low-carb high fat and keto approach, but found that many of his patients could not follow those, so he recommends fasting for them. Whatever works!

Oh just that there are many ways to loose weight, and not all of them are healthy. Weight loss should come as a natural result of proper nutrition and overall health, it shouldn't be the end all be all of what you do.
Literally impossible to lose weight just by smoking. That has to be the most retarded statement ever. What has inhaling tobacco have to do with anything concerning your diet?
It’s sad that more docs don’t tell you to do this, but I’m glad that my cardiologist did tell me stop eating carbs! I did and have lost 25 lbs in 2 months! I’ve been studying keto and it can get quit confusing at first, but if you keep studying it you will understand it more. All of my other drs kept telling me to loose weight but never told me about carbs, wow I could have had lost weight a long time ago. I haven’t felt this good since I was younger and a lot thinner😀 thank you for this video Dr. Westman....there is a lot of non believers out there! Sad
What carbs were you eating? Your supposed to be eating whole grains, potatoes, legumes, vegetables, and some fruit. Your not supposed to be eating oil, sugar, processed foods. I have never seen anyone overweight eating potatoes and broccoli or rice and vegetables. Why dont you be honest with yourself and everyone and list all the foods you were eating and i guarantee you its gonna be full of processed foods like oil, sugar, commercial desserts, commercial whit breads, dairy products, animal fat and meat galore.
What's sad is people continuing to blame carbs for all the dietary woes in our modern culture simply because we have bastardized them by refining them and removing all the fiber and nutrients. People associate carbs with sugar, bread and pasta and get completely thrown off track. They also don't realize that a typical "high carb diet", within the Standard American Diet framework, is not only high in refined carbs but high in fat! Look at all of the typical foods people tend to consume and you'll see this to be true: Pizza, hamburgers, french fries, chips, mac & cheese, spaghetti and meatballs, hot dogs, etc, etc. It's just a damn shame that this misconception is so wide spread. People blame carbs yet don't realize that a whole food/plant based diet is naturally high carb and is the hands down the best diet for health and longevity. Stop eating highly processed food with high fat animal/oil foods. My new life mantra is follow the fiber! Fruits, veggies, beans, nuts, seeds. Just do it!

The diabetes issue being separate, If this way of eating cuts hunger and thus a person eats less, then isn't the weight loss really about the calories after all?
no, because the cutting the hunger comes from the reduction in occult diabetes (hyperinsulinism) so you are suddenly flooded with energy from your fat stores. you don't eat less. you just don't put as much in your mouth. hope that made it easier
Hello, Very much enjoyed your lecture. I have been diagnosed with significant liver scarring (NASH), having a liver biopsy in June. Would eating a high fat intake be safe with this liver issue, and just reduce carbs? After my biopsy, I will see the hepatologist (July) but I'm not sure if he is "keto educated".
hi Dr.! this is Shromona from India. I'm 23 years old, 5'2.5 and 45 KGS. I've been on keto for ten months now and have lost fifty pounds. however, I have had serious digestive issues lately with an unnatural craving for sugar. the moment I had sugar, I started experiencing diarrhoea. it's been three days since I've been prescribed medication for amoebiasis and have been given a lot of antibiotics. I'm extremely uncomfortable with the diet that has been suggested by my doctor, which is mostly rice, bananas and other sorts of non keto food. including Greek yogurt. I'm either left constipated or with diarrhoea and am very very bloated. is there an alternative to this diet? is it possible to stick to keto even while recovering from diarrhoea and amoebiasis? I feel as if I've gained all the weight back- of course it's not true, but eating carbs also has its psychological affect. what kind of keto food can one eat while having a viral stomach irritation? thanks.
My grandson, Age 13, is prediabetic , high cholesterol, etc. The grocery wants to put him on Metformin. My daughter is convinced that the docs know best. I have been on keto since a March, 2017 and have lost 45 lbs. when I told her to go on your TH-cam videos, she told me it is not sustainable and I just want to be proved “ right”. That is not my intention. To me, the proof is “ in the pudding” so to speak. She claims that the correct diet for diabetics is “ Dash”.
Been on keto/low carb for over 2 years so it IS sustainable. Heck you can even eat fast food if you want (just not the bread parts, sugary drinks or fries - but you can eat burger w/cheese and bacon, no bun). Cured my horrendous acid reflux and lowered blood sugar. I wasn't large but was beginning to have issues with blood sugars (probably thin outside fat inside as they say). Now all blood tests very good, and no more reflux (the best part for me if I'm honest - reflux kept me awake at nights, now I sleep well).
Dr. Stephen Phinney, a medical doctor and nutrition researcher for 35 years, has been on a ketogenic diet for over 13 years. Jeff Volek, PhD, nutrition researcher, has been 'keto' for 8+ years. Dr. Tim Nokes, physician and nutrition researcher, has been on a ketogenic diet with extremely low carbs for around 7 years. He ran most every day of his life, and ran a bunch of marathons, and still got Type 2 diabetes on a high carb diet. Dr. Jason Fung appreciates the benefits of a Very Low Carb or ketogenic diet, but for his patients that cannot do that or find it too complicated (what is hard about no sugar, no starch, and only eating real, unprocessed food?) - he has them fast. See the TH-cam videos by these people for more details. Or have the mother contact Dr. Westman (I think he is at Duke University in N.C.) After all, 'doctors know best'.
Also, 'Diet Doctor' in Sweden has a website with lots of free info on eating a healthy low-carb or ketogenic diet. This site is run by a physician, or doctor, who found that he was able to really help his pre-diabetic, metabolic syndrome, and diabetic patients with these diets - instead of just having to put them on more and more drugs over time as they got worse and worse.
On the "What Does One Eat on a Ketogenic Diet" page, there is no butter or olive oil, or coconut oil listed. Where do these foods fit in the Ketogenic lifestyle, or do they?
That list is just a simple one he starts people on. Some of these people are very sick and many are none too bright. The list is a good starting point. He is not as strict on "bad oils" as most keto people are.
Got any by Dr Steven Baker please? I started with IFasting, then went to keto, now am doing mostly zero carb. We have no nutritional need for fruits or veggies, just if you want a treat I guess. In on of the first charts Westman shows no need but then has CAPITAL LETTERS statement saying We need vegetables. No we dont. Why are the keto docs afraid to state what we have learned?? Heck I have only been doing this since Sept 1st (now down almost 30lbs and I wasnt sick or obese, just looking at gaining 10lbs a decade w/SAD) and I learned it, why dont they say it & sell it and use the money they make for better animal husbandry & better slaughter houses? It aint pretty but we need to eat meat!
psychicoutlaw they won't say it because it's not true... we need the complex vitamins, minerals and fibre found in plant foods. Where would you get these instead (apart from supplements obviously)? As it's only been a couple of months, could it be that symptoms of the lack of these nutrients just haven't shown for you yet?
Yes & no. If we eat only meat & animal products we will get all the micronutrients we need bc the animals have eaten & processed them for us. Have to get grass fed when possible and learn to sometimes eat organ meats, but what you are speaking of is the SAD we have been sold. That food pyramid is made up. Looking at the carnivore or zero carb people on here & even raw meat eaters, the 'science' of needing carbs as a macro just isnt there. Other than electrolytes at the beginning, we arent going to need supplements from eating meat.
psychicoutlaw no, I wasn't talking about SAD but Keto. Vitamin C, for example, isn't stored in the body, hence we need daily ingestion of green leafy veg, if not fruit, to avoid deficiency. I don't believe just meat/dairy/fats would maintain this.
Rhi C Dig deeper lol! Man I love the internet. No we have no need for exogenous vite C. Increased blood sugar levels cause the vC in our bodies to drop etc: zerocarbzen.com/vitamin-c/
psychicoutlaw We don’t need fruit and vegetables, I haven’t had any for almost 20 years and I’m in excellent health. I think they don’t have the guts to say that..
Might want to look at the slide again. It's what someone on a ketogenic diet might eat in a day. A person on a ketogenic diet may have eggs & Bacon for breakfast or they might have sugar-free yogurt with berry slices.
The yogurt needs to be homemade and cultured 24hrs. Then the lactose is eaten up by the cultures so it very very little lactose left so it’s very lowcarb. The berries are ok on occasion. You would still need to have some eggs too to equal the protein in bacon and eggs. Which you should have that much protein each meal. I would add cooked greens too.
What you should be concerned about is the LACK of studies in Female fertility. There's actually quite alot in men getting higher testosterone ect and loosing weight quite quickly on keto styled diets. Men do super well on it while woman tend to struggle initially getting keto adapted as many of us are lacking in iron and proper cholesterol levels for hormone regulation. Upside of being a bloke I suppose😂
If you ask me, keto is not for most people. It is just really tough to follow and you feel exhausted. But the Agoge diet on the other hand feels great, and it works too.
Dr. Westman, if you are eating a ketogenic way of eating, and doing intermittent fasting, will the juice of 1/2 of a lemon in a cup of hot water in the morning break your fast?
I'm not Dr. Westman, but 1 cup of lemon juice has 17g of carbohydrates and 6g of sugar. I don't know how much juice is in 1/2 a lemon, I'd guess 1/4c. So that's till about 4-5g of carbs and 2 g of sugar. So I would say it would break your fast.
free2danz1960 Cholesterol rising isn't the problem. It's when the cholesterol is oxidated by free radicals cause by vegetable oils etc that is the problem.
Due to a friend, I searched Google for the *2WeightLossFast. Com* . It’s certainly the best plan and the best deal I’ve actually seen. My sister implemented it and shed 6 pounds. I just began and I’m already lower 5 lbs.?
Yea... people lose weight, but how are the arteries???? Just eat a ton of leafy greens - cut starch... and one can get the sanme results without the trans-fats and high cholesterol.
Your comment shows that you have not done your research. The keto diet is also the best way to PREVENT vascular damage. You are still stuck in the "fat is bad for you" mindset. Read up.
Right about 18:36 "...and fat has no glycemic effect. If you look at the list of glycemic foods, fat isn't on the list, because fat doesn't raise your blood sugar." If your blood sugar doesn't go up, your body will not produce insulin.
No, fat doesn’t raise insulin at all, but use butter, lard, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil NOT vegetable/corn/rape seed oils which are bad for you....
andy hurdman nutritional fat is not the problem. Body fat is. Insulin happens to be a fat storage hormone. Nutritional fat has little impact on insulin.. Whereas carbs and sugar do effect insulin. So sugar and carbs are the real culprit. Not saturated fat.
You actually have a real choice now... to follow the corporately-captured medical model, or to open an education in science and common sense. Note that the transfats (marge) and easily oxidized seed oils are NOT health supporting at a cellular level, and that the support for the theory that Ancel Keys *and industry sponsors* put out that fat or cholesterol cause heart disease has found no evidence to support it in over 60 years! But make a big lie and make it pervasive and it becomes installed at the cost of true - and much misery. If you feel safer in not opening to the movement that is rising after decades of suppression, along with the health benefits of a correct understanding of the harms that overeating sugars and carbs have on health, then that is a choice you are making. Not anyone else.
Most of people do keto to lose weight and yes it really works thats why everyone loves it but think about it i mean what are fruits made for if no one eats it anymore? Not being able to eat fruits on keto is really nonsense to me i mean its a plant based carb why would that be harmful? I went on keto for like 3 weeks or so i couldn’t lift the way i used to do i became really weak at the gym i do believe everyone needs carbs in their lives but not all carbs are good for sure i wouldn’t make keto a lifestyle but I quit processed carbs i only eat whole wheat and oats through keto , I recommend keto for people who wants to lose fat in a fast way then go back to ur normal life
Read wheat belly and listen to dr gary fettke on fruit(i know that it seems strange that fructose in yr liver accumulates as fat and heart disease will finally be yr outcome)
Exclusively onT ... I think cutting out whole food groups like vegetables and fruits is a mistake. I eat a variety of real foods, not processed. I’m 60, very healthy and take no medicines!
Shady Shadpus we are omnivores however, our digestive system and metabolism is closer to that of canines and cats than herbivores. Unlike herbivores humans cannot digest cellulose. We lack the digestive enhancements of herbivores like enzymes, multiple stomachs, gullets, 20x the body length intestines. Wolves and Lions have 2.5x their body length in intestines, where as humans are about 4x their body length. Also the metabolic need for protein is similar. We're closer to carnivores than herbivores naturally.
Well we all (Animals/Humans) have the same Creator/Intelligent Designer, Human DNA and Animal DNA are similar in some respects but not in others. Humans are created in the image of the God of the Bible, Animals/Angels are not created in His image....
@@suedouglas5455 What is your definition of God's image? My understanding is that God doesn't have a human body. Christians believe that our human bodies are separate from our souls. Your statement has no relevance to the current discussion.
Ok, your diet works on weight loss but what about its effects on health longevity, on cancer, on cholesterol levels, on diabetes, on fatty liver, on kidney health? We all know low carb causes weight loss. In 2018, the health debate is all about health, sustainability, the impact on the planet and weight reduction.
Well I’ve been on Keto since mid Jan, and I was on High Blood Pressure meds for 20 years, now been completely off the meds for 3 months, I’m very happy with that result! Yes it makes you healthy, no chance of becoming a type 2 diabetic on this diet! Some cancers that rely on sugar to survive are also avoidable! Also my energy levels are high!
likely better, likely better, better (higher w/in reason is better with good LDL), clinically proven, clinically proven and clinically proven by way of diabetes, respectively. Your plant based ideology has no place in the health discussion.

@@thalesnemo2841 It is possible to disagree with someone without attacking their person. There is a difference. Calling people names changes the conversation to personal and off of the subject of the disagreement and reflects badly on you.

This presentation is one of the worst lectures I’ve seen, trying to support or recommend a Ketogenic diet. His verbiage is not concisely stated. Presenter acts befuddled and imprecise often interrupting his own points with corrections or leaving them unfinished by switching focus. Poorly stated and unrehearsed. His statements wander though the facts.

Also, 'Diet Doctor' in Sweden has a website with lots of free info on eating a healthy low-carb or ketogenic diet. This site is run by a physician, or doctor, who found that he was able to really help his pre-diabetic, metabolic syndrome, and diabetic patients with these diets - instead of just having to put them on more and more drugs over time as they got worse and worse.
On the "What Does One Eat on a Ketogenic Diet" page, there is no butter or olive oil, or coconut oil listed. Where do these foods fit in the Ketogenic lifestyle, or do they?
Of course they do! How can you not see the butter on the list? Olive oil is is fine but coconut oil seems to be better.
That list is just a simple one he starts people on. Some of these people are very sick and many are none too bright. The list is a good starting point. He is not as strict on "bad oils" as most keto people are.
They also say "You must eat vegetables every day." This is wrong. It should be "You may eat vegetables every day up to the above limits."
Ellenor Malik must eat up to the vegs limits required is right. Must eat vegs daily. Needed.
@@YeshuaKingMessiah It isn't though. It is not required to do that to be nutritionally sufficient or to make the diet succeed.
What if you do low fat and keto?
I would say .. get real...
why would any go low fat on keto
when fat is your fuel?
the more fat you eat the more weight you lose 😎
Got any by Dr Steven Baker please? I started with IFasting, then went to keto, now am doing mostly zero carb. We have no nutritional need for fruits or veggies, just if you want a treat I guess. In on of the first charts Westman shows no need but then has CAPITAL LETTERS statement saying We need vegetables. No we dont. Why are the keto docs afraid to state what we have learned?? Heck I have only been doing this since Sept 1st (now down almost 30lbs and I wasnt sick or obese, just looking at gaining 10lbs a decade w/SAD) and I learned it, why dont they say it & sell it and use the money they make for better animal husbandry & better slaughter houses? It aint pretty but we need to eat meat!
psychicoutlaw they won't say it because it's not true... we need the complex vitamins, minerals and fibre found in plant foods. Where would you get these instead (apart from supplements obviously)? As it's only been a couple of months, could it be that symptoms of the lack of these nutrients just haven't shown for you yet?
Yes & no. If we eat only meat & animal products we will get all the micronutrients we need bc the animals have eaten & processed them for us. Have to get grass fed when possible and learn to sometimes eat organ meats, but what you are speaking of is the SAD we have been sold. That food pyramid is made up. Looking at the carnivore or zero carb people on here & even raw meat eaters, the 'science' of needing carbs as a macro just isnt there. Other than electrolytes at the beginning, we arent going to need supplements from eating meat.
psychicoutlaw no, I wasn't talking about SAD but Keto. Vitamin C, for example, isn't stored in the body, hence we need daily ingestion of green leafy veg, if not fruit, to avoid deficiency. I don't believe just meat/dairy/fats would maintain this.
Rhi C Dig deeper lol! Man I love the internet. No we have no need for exogenous vite C. Increased blood sugar levels cause the vC in our bodies to drop etc: zerocarbzen.com/vitamin-c/
psychicoutlaw We don’t need fruit and vegetables, I haven’t had any for almost 20 years and I’m in excellent health. I think they don’t have the guts to say that..
At 6:34 how does sugar-free yogurt with berry slices = eggs, bacon? That is crazy.
Might want to look at the slide again. It's what someone on a ketogenic diet might eat in a day. A person on a ketogenic diet may have eggs & Bacon for breakfast or they might have sugar-free yogurt with berry slices.
It is all about fat comtent
How does one slice berries?
The yogurt needs to be homemade and cultured 24hrs. Then the lactose is eaten up by the cultures so it very very little lactose left so it’s very lowcarb. The berries are ok on occasion. You would still need to have some eggs too to equal the protein in bacon and eggs. Which you should have that much protein each meal. I would add cooked greens too.
@@spaceghost8995 with a knife? Wtf kind of question is that?
I'm still looking for page 4
I have it. I could email it to you.
If you just google dr westman page 4 you’ll get the whole list 😊
There is not alot of information for nutritional ketosis and male fertility. Only processed meat and male fertility.
What you should be concerned about is the LACK of studies in Female fertility. There's actually quite alot in men getting higher testosterone ect and loosing weight quite quickly on keto styled diets. Men do super well on it while woman tend to struggle initially getting keto adapted as many of us are lacking in iron and proper cholesterol levels for hormone regulation. Upside of being a bloke I suppose😂
If you ask me, keto is not for most people. It is just really tough to follow and you feel exhausted. But the Agoge diet on the other hand feels great, and it works too.
Bravo
Does Dr Eric Westman have Irish blood in him, he looks very Irish, almost has a subtle Irish hint to his accent.
Dr. Westman, if you are eating a ketogenic way of eating, and doing intermittent fasting, will the juice of 1/2 of a lemon in a cup of hot water in the morning break your fast?
Patricia Beetschen no Dr K Berry said if it’s not carb it will not 😀
No lemon water is safe..🍋🍋🍋🍋
I'm not Dr. Westman, but 1 cup of lemon juice has 17g of carbohydrates and 6g of sugar. I don't know how much juice is in 1/2 a lemon, I'd guess 1/4c. So that's till about 4-5g of carbs and 2 g of sugar. So I would say it would break your fast.
Lemon water no sugar will not break your fast.
In a previous video, Dr Westman mentioned 2 teaspoonfulls of lemon juice are the daily limit.
wow!
So my question is until someone is fat adapted will their cholesterol levels rise?
free2danz1960 Cholesterol rising isn't the problem. It's when the cholesterol is oxidated by free radicals cause by vegetable oils etc that is the problem.
Due to a friend, I searched Google for the *2WeightLossFast. Com* . It’s certainly the best plan and the best deal I’ve actually seen. My sister implemented it and shed 6 pounds. I just began and I’m already lower 5 lbs.?
That is what i was asking
Are you on Twitter
Yea... people lose weight, but how are the arteries???? Just eat a ton of leafy greens - cut starch... and one can get the sanme results without the trans-fats and high cholesterol.
Studies show good fat wont clog your arteries. Keri people burn fat therefore they need more fat in diet.
Your comment shows that you have not done your research. The keto diet is also the best way to PREVENT vascular damage. You are still stuck in the "fat is bad for you" mindset. Read up.
@@Changeworld408 The studies indicate that clogged arteries are the result of carbs effect on cholesterol. Cholesterol is safe without the carbs.
But does fat raise insulin is the real question I would like to know
Yellowjacket45Wall
Sugar and carbs raise insulin.
Right about 18:36 "...and fat has no glycemic effect. If you look at the list of glycemic foods, fat isn't on the list, because fat doesn't raise your blood sugar." If your blood sugar doesn't go up, your body will not produce insulin.
NO. Fat barely raises insulin at all, so little as to be effectively none.
No, fat doesn’t raise insulin at all, but use butter, lard, extra virgin olive oil, coconut oil, avocado oil NOT vegetable/corn/rape seed oils which are bad for you....
It does. All ingested nutrients raise insulin. Fat does it the least however. And this is why fat does not lock you into a cycle of overeating.
What about Saturated Fat and safety on plaque build up in the arteries, which then harden, and ultimately leads to coronary heart disease?
andy hurdman nutritional fat is not the problem. Body fat is. Insulin happens to be a fat storage hormone. Nutritional fat has little impact on insulin.. Whereas carbs and sugar do effect insulin. So sugar and carbs are the real culprit. Not saturated fat.
You actually have a real choice now... to follow the corporately-captured medical model, or to open an education in science and common sense. Note that the transfats (marge) and easily oxidized seed oils are NOT health supporting at a cellular level, and that the support for the theory that Ancel Keys *and industry sponsors* put out that fat or cholesterol cause heart disease has found no evidence to support it in over 60 years! But make a big lie and make it pervasive and it becomes installed at the cost of true - and much misery. If you feel safer in not opening to the movement that is rising after decades of suppression, along with the health benefits of a correct understanding of the harms that overeating sugars and carbs have on health, then that is a choice you are making. Not anyone else.
Thanks @Ben Lorenowicz for the succinct explanation. This encapsulate all what Dr. Westman is explaining in length.
IT IS EASIER TO FOOL SOMEONE THEN CONVINCE SOMEONE THEY HAVE BEEN FOOLED
Most of people do keto to lose weight and yes it really works thats why everyone loves it but think about it i mean what are fruits made for if no one eats it anymore? Not being able to eat fruits on keto is really nonsense to me i mean its a plant based carb why would that be harmful? I went on keto for like 3 weeks or so i couldn’t lift the way i used to do i became really weak at the gym i do believe everyone needs carbs in their lives but not all carbs are good for sure i wouldn’t make keto a lifestyle but I quit processed carbs i only eat whole wheat and oats through keto , I recommend keto for people who wants to lose fat in a fast way then go back to ur normal life
Read wheat belly and listen to dr gary fettke on fruit(i know that it seems strange that fructose in yr liver accumulates as fat and heart disease will finally be yr outcome)
Exclusively onT ... I think cutting out whole food groups like vegetables and fruits is a mistake. I eat a variety of real foods, not processed. I’m 60, very healthy and take no medicines!
We're pretty close as humans to the metabolisms of wolves and lions.WHAT?
Shady Shadpus we are omnivores however, our digestive system and metabolism is closer to that of canines and cats than herbivores.
Unlike herbivores humans cannot digest cellulose. We lack the digestive enhancements of herbivores like enzymes, multiple stomachs, gullets, 20x the body length intestines.
Wolves and Lions have 2.5x their body length in intestines, where as humans are about 4x their body length. Also the metabolic need for protein is similar.
We're closer to carnivores than herbivores naturally.
It's TRUE! We CAN eat plants, but we are far better off eating meat!
Yes. Why is that shocking to you?
Well we all (Animals/Humans) have the same Creator/Intelligent Designer, Human DNA and Animal DNA are similar in some respects but not in others. Humans are created in the image of the God of the Bible, Animals/Angels are not created in His image....
@@suedouglas5455 What is your definition of God's image? My understanding is that God doesn't have a human body. Christians believe that our human bodies are separate from our souls. Your statement has no relevance to the current discussion.
Ok, your diet works on weight loss but what about its effects on health longevity, on cancer, on cholesterol levels, on diabetes, on fatty liver, on kidney health? We all know low carb causes weight loss. In 2018, the health debate is all about health, sustainability, the impact on the planet and weight reduction.
Well I’ve been on Keto since mid Jan, and I was on High Blood Pressure meds for 20 years, now been completely off the meds for 3 months, I’m very happy with that result! Yes it makes you healthy, no chance of becoming a type 2 diabetic on this diet! Some cancers that rely on sugar to survive are also avoidable! Also my energy levels are high!
likely better, likely better, better (higher w/in reason is better with good LDL), clinically proven, clinically proven and clinically proven by way of diabetes, respectively. Your plant based ideology has no place in the health discussion.
He looks chubby without all insulin resistance carbs and fruits 🍉
Who is that Girl
Another nonsensical comment from a preachy vegan! It is childish NOT to listen to thesis of the talk and make a comment more fitting to an 8 year old on the playground ! I appears that you are unlettered in science so put your crayons away.
Cant agree with your definition of 'Chubby'. . He looks fit and lean to me !
@@thalesnemo2841 It is possible to disagree with someone without attacking their person. There is a difference. Calling people names changes the conversation to personal and off of the subject of the disagreement and reflects badly on you.
@Pat Comly
Well the unlettered knobheads have no understanding of adult discussion nor debate and must be dealt with on a level which is understood a reptilian mentality!
This presentation is one of the worst lectures I’ve seen, trying to support or recommend a Ketogenic diet. His verbiage is not concisely stated. Presenter acts befuddled and imprecise often interrupting his own points with corrections or leaving them unfinished by switching focus. Poorly stated and unrehearsed. His statements wander though the facts.
the doctor can use some less eating himself. He looks a little chubby despite the loose shirt
Hi, The good old tactic again, I suppose. If you can’t find a fault in the idea, attack the speaker.
Can't find a fault......!LOL I thought insulin made you fat?
Is body shaming really where this is going?
We all have different genetic makeup. You don't have to be super skinny to be a healthy body weight. It is both shallow and mean to call someone chubby if they are not super skinny. Show some respect!
@David A. West Body shaming is where humanity has been going for thousands of years. Who gives a damn about your little new western propaganda? Leave your shitty mickey mouse dream!
