I follow everything that Volek presents on. I've been on a ketogenic diet for about 9 months and it has had better results in all areas than I could have ever believed. I expect that I will be on a ketogenic diet for life, but there is so much variation in what is promoted for ketogenic diets. The basis of my is whole foods (largely all non-processed). Thanks so much Jeff....
This was very helpful for understanding the science behind the fat adapted keto life. I was able to reverse metabolic syndrome, type 2 pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, MS symptoms by changing my body to eating only real food low carb then hCG and I now live LCMPHF lifestyle as well as losing 88# and keeping it off for 6 years. I am blessed every day to be able to help others change their health destiny (as well as their clothing size) every single day at my weight loss clinic. Thanks for spreading the word. I will be recommending this video to my clients.
I just want to say thank you Dr. Jeff Volek for your work and for validating my lifestyle. I don't feel I will ever have to defend it or question it ever again.
Thank God for our Dr. Tim Noakes here in South Africa. He also talks very highly of you. All I can say is this: I have type II (A) Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia. Both my sons inherited the disease. My mom is the carrier and she is now going onto 87. She only went onto meds in her 60's and immediately could not tolerate statins so then went onto fibrates, now on nothing. BUT, my sons I fear for. My eldest son recently had quintuple bypass surgery very hastily (had NO heart attack, so his heart muscle is normal. Didn't know quintuple bypass existed. Thoracic surgeon had never done this on such a young person. So I went onto keto with my 13 - 14 total cholesterol and 2.? trigs. After a month (BUT I never stopped taking fibrates low dosage) - everyone waited for me to drop dead. The fibrates could never get me lower than 8.2. My GP phoned and said it was as if my results did not belong in my file. My trigs were now 0.7 and total of 6.3 (NEVER since birth had it gone lower than 7.5) Thank you for this talk - I think Keto is the biggest breakthrough of the modern time.
Volek seemed not to understand the first question, about limiting food intake to a certain window of time per day. This is often called 'intermittent fasting', but the word intermittent does not indicate that this fasting happens within a 24 hour daily cycle. Dr. Mercola calls this 'peak fasting', and recommends that people eat within a 6 to 8 hour time period each day, which results in a 16 to 18 hour daily fast.On a very low carb high fat diet, this becomes pretty easy to do, a 'painless' way to help our bodies to burn fat.
Recently got a blood panel done. Told my doc that I recently lost 40 lbs from Keto diet and IF. She asked is was eating butter, sour cream, etc. I said absolutely. She was horrified. Then my results came back…everything normal. She had the “ I don’t get it” look on her face. I’m sure she was expecting my ldl and triglycerides to be off the charts bad.
I'm struggling with 16:1 (omega 7) which I assumed was good because it aided insulin sensitivity; Jeff's saying its a marker for the opposite - anybody any clues?
The point he was making is that Palmitoleic Acid is not very prevalent in the foods we eat, except in Macademia nuts, i.e. there are higher amounts of it in Macademia nuts. He doesn't make a judgement whether you should eat them or not. The reason he points this out is that since we don't eat foods high in Palmitoleic Acid and, since the liver uses carbs to create Palmitoleic Acid (lipogenesis), then high amounts of Palmitoleic Acid in our body is a good marker of insulin resistance or carb intolerance. And that higher proportions of Palmitoleic Acid found in our body are associated with: o Obesity o Hypertryglyceridemia o Inflammation o Metabolic syndrome o Type-2 diabetes o Coronary disease o Hear failure o Incidence & aggressiveness of prostrate cancer
+Chet Roman thanks Chet .. I eat mac nuts as one of my fat bomb through the week ..( although I know Stephanie Person don't recommend it) .. So I wanted to see what he had to say about it..
Wonder what sugar companies will try next , because of people catching on about Toxic sugar. Maybe put fat back in . But if they do it surely won't be the healthy kind ! More veg. oil & corn junk ..
I'm with you, sharpie. This country uses the cheapest, nastiest fats obtainable, because all you have to do it read the labels on all products. It's all about profits. We have to make all our own foods now. And make our own choices.
I know Right .. Then you have the organic food prices Crazy expensive , even if people want to eat healthy :( Well that's why they make the Junk cheaper , to keep us sick . So the DR's & Drug companies can make money on us . Like a Bad "soap opera" I picked a Name for it .. "As Monsanto Turns The World " Ha ha ha

Todd Studer is
how's your uric acid serum todd? is it high after at least 1 year on ketogenic diet?

305 total cholesterol / Hdl 150, vldl 12. Yay. Almost 60 and I'm happy with my ratios...great talk. Thank you!

He is pretty aware of it... you are listening to one talk of 20 years of work.
I want him to review my bloodwork, after being on Keto for a few years. He looks a lot deeper then regular Drs.
Recently got a blood panel done. Told my doc that I recently lost 40 lbs from Keto diet and IF. She asked is was eating butter, sour cream, etc. I said absolutely. She was horrified.

Love the luxurious food idea!
I'm struggling with 16:1 (omega 7) which I assumed was good because it aided insulin sensitivity; Jeff's saying its a marker for the opposite - anybody any clues?
What did he say about saturated fat and Macadamia nut ?
The point he was making is that Palmitoleic Acid is not very prevalent in the foods we eat, except in Macademia nuts, i.e. there are higher amounts of it in Macademia nuts. He doesn't make a judgement whether you should eat them or not.

What was asked at about 44 minutes? I couldn't really understand her.
I get up at 5 am just to watch this.

5 years keto 💪💪💪😁😁😁
Bacon and butter? Guy is a lunatic lol. You can do plant based low carb, much healthier in my opinion. Backed by science ;)
Sorry, there is no science to support you idea, veggies are good, but not enough for health ... 70 Going On 100
