6 months in Keto, 1 month into it no more Fibromyalgia, Fibro fog, IBS, contanstly tired, PMS, headaches. I’m trying to educate doctors that said everything was in my head... I’m full of energy, doing exercise I’m excited by life again. My immense gratitude to the researches who still fighting against main stream stupid believes, and that allow me to fix my health. To everyone looking for an answer to their inexplicable health problems this may be your solution as was mine.❤️
On 'intermittent fasting', in another video, Dr. Phinney states that in his view, fasting up to 16 hours a day is no problem- referring to a water-only fast. He expressed concern about people getting enough sodium, magnesium, and potassium - which people generally get from leafy greens and meats. Longer fasts with bone broth (ideally homemade from 100% grassfed meats or pastured poultry) avoid the mineral issues, as the minerals are available in the broth. Dr. Fung and his partner in Intensive Dietary Interventions, Ms Ramos, have presented research at conferences in 2018 and 2019 that show that the 'lean mass' loss in those following their fasting protocols is primarily excess connective tissue, skin, etc that the body no longer needs as it looses weight - and that little or no muscle mass is lost. Those interested in this approach should look up those presentations.
That's Low Carb Down Under, in Australia, and you can subscribe for free, and hear all the speakers they have on repretoire - but Dr. Stephen Phinney is pretty much a forerunner on the whole Keto deal, having 2 great books (along with 2 co-authors) which you can get from the library or online. These guys are saving many lives throughout the world.
This stuff is like gold. I'll just add my voice to those clamouring for part 2. I have to say a huge thank you to LCDU for publishing all these videos (& arranging the conferences?) because 'up top' here in Scotland we are nowhere near as far forward in our thinking about low carb & our health problems associated with heart disease & diabetes are among the worst in the world. Personally speaking, every single member of my family on my father's side (including him) have died from an illness associated with these conditions. I'm doing my best to break that trend...
Hurrah for this noble Scotsman. I'm charmed by your "up top" phrasing. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones as you keep choosing this normal but different lifestyle. My husband and I are quite encouraged with our health improvements after 4 months. Greetings from Southwest michigan, the "Glove" state in the USA.
@@japonicaren He is meaning the Scots have one of the worst diets and unhealthy living in parts of society. I am glad my parents came to London where I have been studying health for 65 years and drawn to ketosis now to avoid prostate problems and dementia etc etc.
Dr. Stephen Phinney is a total mensch and I am immensely grateful for his work and continued willingness to teach and learn about ways to heal our metabolic derangements. Easy to listen to him for hours. Looks like we will have that chance!
Dr. Stephen Phinney is my guy. Thanks for this, even though I'm a year late. I ate too much protein while on keto doing a bodybuilder program and the excess = glucose from gluconeogenisis. It wasn't until listening to Dr Fung that I realized the protein raised insulin too, and how bad that was. My LDL-P shot up!
I've had four heart attacks, the first 22 1/2 years ago at the age of 39 and my dad died of a heart attack at 33. He was a fit fighter pilot who had just passed a physical to fly for United Airlines and I've always been active and fit. I have FH type IIa (TC 325, HDL 24, TG 175 while on a high carb diet). That TG / HDL ratio over 7 is a serious problem. Dr. Phinney is the first person I've seen, to diagnose that correctly as metabolic syndrome. I decided about six years ago that my problem was really a form of diabetes and not CVD/heart disease. The only times I've had my sugar tested it came in at 5.5 HBa1c and that was after I'd already been on a relatively low carb diet. And now on a very low carb diet, I generally test at about 112 on a blood glucose meter, which I believe would still be about 5.5 HBa1c. Most Physicians would say that is OK, but according to Dr.Richard K. Bernstein, he's seen diabetic complications with HBa1c of 5.7 and he thinks 4.6 is optimum. Dr. Phinney mentions getting down to 5.7 or 5.9 in this video. That may be OK for some, but certainly for me, and others who have high TC and TG/HDL ratios above 2, that would be high enough to cause arterial damage. Since going nearly Zero Carb, I seem to be getting better and the arteries seem to be healing. I say that because my angina is decreasing and I've been able to resume exercising again. I've been dealing with angina for the last thirteen years or so and had stopped exercising completely for over three years because just about any exertion at all would bring on angina. I might mention that on a very low carb, high fat diet my TC is about 400, HDL 69 and TG 58. I like that HDL number and ratio of under 1 to 1.
I eat a low carb high fat diet, use intermittent fasting every day as well. That would be not eating breakfast until about noon and try to get dinner started by 5:30 or so and eat NOTHING in between. That closes up/ limits the window of insulin and sugar coursing through the arteries in a 24 hour period. It's quite possible that intermittent fasting is responsible for much of the improvement I've seen. For brunch, I eat something like bacon and eggs with cream cheese and for dinner something like a ribeye steak and asparagus. I eat very few carbohydrates and what I do eat would be green veggies e.g., broccoli, spinach and the like. Hope that helps.
Great! But please, what does TC stand for? My HDL was 65 1/2 a year ago, and TG was 78... so I agree with everything you're saying. Have you had a CAC scan (coronary artery scan, available without dr referral for around $75 - for those who don't know) done? Mine came back at 6.
at around 34:00 you talk about salt dropping in body... I went on a low carb high fat diet for about 4 months and lost 30 lbs. some where around month 3 I notice I was adding salt to everything I was eating... I thought it was due to not getting the sodium from processed foods but it makes... my doctor didn't have answer... my point is that when you need the sodium your body will let you know through taste at least that's my experience...I just began back on this diet and am going through day 2 and have headache from what I think is lack or the with draw from sugar
Lack of insulin results in kidneys dumping sodium. Hence the need for more sodium in ketosis. If you want to boost your health then a good source of sodium is sodium ascorbate (it's sold online as a source of buffered vitamin C). Each gram has 110mg of sodium. Upping your Vitamin C intake is a win win. Look up Dr Suzanne Humphries here on TH-cam for more info on vitamin C.
Good for you for listening to your body about what it needs! Issues can arise when people believe the propaganda that says low salt/sodium consumption is healthy. Of course, a natural, non-processed salt without toxic additives is better than regular table salt. Table salt is heated to around 1,200 F, and has chemicals added, primarily to keep it flowing. These days, most all sea salt contains pollution (including micro bits of plastic, etc), and some sea salt is also processed. Natural mineral salts like Himalayan pink, Redmond's from Utah (also pink), or Kansas grey salts are excellent alternatives. MUCH tastier, too! Once you are used to the flavor of real salt, commercial table salt tastes bad.
Yes, Yes, Yes, around the 32 minute point Dr. Phinney tells the story of people purposely eating a starvation diet being given insulin to lower their blood glucose to the point that they should go into a coma. But they don't. Thus, the brain can work well with nearly no glucose in the brain. That proves what I've been saying for some time. One of the main reasons for insulin dependent diabetics to eat low carb or a keto diet is that very low blood sugars would affect their mental and motor capacity only marginally and would prevent most comas. (Of course, I must point out that driving while having your mental and motor skills marginally impaired is very dangerous and should be avoided.) As a T1D for 51 years, I've been eating a low carb diet since 2004. Since then I've had way to many blood sugars below the 50 mg/dl and a few times below 40. During those times I functioned well enough to test, find food and eat it. I've even conducted a meeting and tested my sugar afterwards and it was like 47.
I'd second that; I went to a seminar last year with Magen Ramos (Fung's associate and speaks with/for him frequently) where she spoke of her and Fung's clinical experience with helping people, in short, the people's results ranged anywhere from mildly effective (usually in the cases of ppl that only engaged in the bare minimum) to life-saving. I'm a nutritionist and adopt a practice of not asking a client to do something that I wouldn't do myself, so I tried Fasting and it's amazingly effectual across many spectrums - I continue to do it to this day.
at minutes 53 they ask about fibromyalgia and being ketogenic I myself was diagnosed three years ago with fibromyalgia and I have managed to be under 20 grams of carbs for the past 5 weeks I stopped hurting in my third week I've not had any pain in my joints or skin or muscles sense week three I believe it is inflammation and the ketogenic diet is non inflammoratoy I love the fact that I now experience life without discomfort due to inflammation this will be my diet for the rest of my life I'm so blessed to have stumbled onto the info
There are a number of reliable, knowledgeable people out there who have chosen ketosis as a life-style. Listening to the doctors' presentations convinced me keto is the way to go. The everyday practitioners supply me with recipes and tips. Check out KetoConnect's and Headbangers Kitchen TH-cam channels for keto-compliant bread and cake recipes.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 19 yrs ago. (Including migraines and panic disorder). Only cutting out sugar and flour has helped. Keto is also helping with other inflammation issues like bulging disc in neck. Doesn't cure the disc but helps.
wow! Great stuff...and only half way into it. This is why I left vegetarianism. At around 31 minutes into it he calmly points out that for yet unknown reasons some people in ketosis can "flirt" with higher (although still in normal range) blood sugar levels which is opposite to what not only what they usually find but also opposite to what they would anticipate. He and others have indicated these anomoliies too. Leaders in other eating energy sourcing "diets" especially the vegetarian community would nearly never discuss possible weakness in their approach... not to mention do actual research studies .... There is still so much to learn and asking questions, pointing out weak spots or unknowns is what I'd consider a more science approach ... thank you again....
I am trying the keto diet as a vegan, and feeling great. My diet is centered on greens, nuts, avocados, olives and coconuts. I really feel this is the way to go. Look at Rosedale ' s recommendations, mostly vegan. Animal products generally have too much protein.
I have fibromyalgia so this should be a good experiment for me. I have been on the Keto diet for 3 weeks so far and down 13 lbs. This has not been a hard diet for me. I feel I'm in control of my life now.
Barbara Riepe ~ I'd love to hear how things have gone for you over the last 11 months since you posted this. For me, only six weeks in, there is still so much to learn! I'm seeing great results, though, in my glucose blood readings and I set up my macros for slow but steady weight loss which is going well. I'm truly curious to know the effects the Keto diet has on fibromyalgia.
I am not diabetic. I am on keto. Recently i have started taking glucose readings. I got 2 pre eating readings 2.1 and 2.9. No symptoms of low sugars whatsoever. I was shocked. So were diabetic friends and a medical prof (surgery). Thank goodness i found you and eric berg.
I watched Dr. Stephen on Low Carb Down Under (Sept 2014/15?), and thought: "Eat tons of FAT and get SKINNY? Like ingesting 24 beers in a night was a bad idea, well I've put worse in this body, so why not!" I was 250 pounds, and then in 6 -8 weeks, the scale reads 220? The look of confusion on my face was priceless. WTH! How is this possible? By 4 months sub 200! At 6 foot tall this is an awesome weight, a few more pounds and BINGO 6 pack, because I can start to see them !!!!!
+David Lomm He's not referring to the calories in/out paradigm as the necessary precondition for being weight stable (which states that quantity is the most important factor, irrespective of what the different "diets" in the market consist of), but rather to the notion that, once you're ketoadapted and weight-stable, your body can perfectly rely on external sources of fat/protein without undergoing changes in its composition, even if you're a high performance athlete. That's mostly the point: keto works for high performance sports. He's not saying that if they had eaten more calories they would have gotten fatter, but rather that the body could rely on that source of calories, given that they ate what they burned, without wasting muscle and losing lean body mass, which is a major concern for sportsmen. And the calories in/out thing is redundant, because LCHF proponents state that the body regains the ability to regulate how much it needs from an external source. Nobody said that calories "mean nothing", but rather that counting calories is useless for weight loss, because different metabolic types react differently to different types of food, which leads to inconsistent results.
Yes. I short, the thought that ' a calorie is a calorie' and that body weight is simply and only a matter of how many calories one consumes assumes that we are mechanical, like a steam engine. - and totally ignores the fact that we are biological entities. The 'body as machine' metaphor had its uses, yet biology is so much more complex than any machine. And it does not exist in a vacuum, but is also affected by the environment- sunlight, temperature, pollutants... Fats and proteins and carbohydrates have different effects on the body, aside from caloric content. Yet of course, if massively more intake occurs than the body can use, it will generally store it. This is very different from 'a calorie is a calorie' no matter the form.
I couldn't agree more! I have watched this video so many times. This video really inspired me. In fact, this is the video that pushed me over the edge and got me into doing Keto. Six months later I've lost 40 lb; check out my video here. th-cam.com/video/LXr9x-CG5vw/w-d-xo.html
It takes a while to wrap your brain around this because of all the faulty programming received, and that's still being pushed. I just finished 3 months and compared bloodwork from LCHF versus what was essentially a low fat diet chopped full of lentils, brown rice, salads, chicken, fish... Well, my results were shocking even though I've seen enough videos to convince me it would work. However, I encourage skeptics to test their blood, and open your mind. My risks decreased (they were never high) on a diet full of healthy, while fats. I eat so many things I used to avoid. I'm satiated and here's the real news. I lost 14 pounds, and exercise less. I did not lose one pound while on a low fat, high carb (but still "good" carb diet...like sweet potatoes, brown rice, lentils, et cetera) diet. Again, test yourself. I'm convinced. Thinking of a tattoo HF for life!
You are one of the lucky few who can eat rice and still reduce your blood sugar levels and insulin spikes- which block fat burning. And/or you are still quite young. Over time, many who can get away with eating things like rice (brown or white or black. makes little difference). Many people with insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, and/or excess weight cannot even eat legumes and stay in fat-burning mode. More on legumes, also on the Low Carb Down Under Channel: Dr. Paul Mason 'th-cam.com/video/mjQZCCiV6iA/w-d-xo.html
I had to check into the ER with a racing heart beat, palpitations and weakness in my legs about 3 weeks into my ketogenic diet, I thought I was having a heart attack but after ECG, blood tests and chest x-rays I was given the all clear. The nurse said my blood sugar had plummeted, I hadn't been exercising or anything and I got hypoglycemia symptoms on and off for the first 3-5 weeks. I'm approaching my tenth week now and don't get the symptoms anymore, I had a blood panel done and my Triglycerides dropped from 1.1mmol to 0.8mmol, my Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate dropped from 18 (it's been high every blood test I've had for over 5 years, I've battled with inflammation for a long time) down to 5 which is pretty incredible. My fasting blood glucose is 5.0, used to be elevated prior to the diet. LDL has increased although HDL also increased, total cholesterol went from 5.1 to 5.4mmol so I'm working on increasing unsaturated fat intake and exercise.
No need to avoid saturated fat! All fat sources contain a mix of fats. Only butter and coconut oil contain mostly saturated fat - which just means that those fats are more stable when heated. Clarified butter, aka ghee, is widely used for cooking at higher temperatures because of this. Check out Dr. Zoe Harcombe's presentations of fats on YT for details. Nina Tiecholts, Dr. Paul Mason, Ivor Cummins and others have exploded the myth that saturated fat is harmful. They also have shown that there was NEVER any science behind thinking that saturated fat was a health risk. Seed oils, on the other hand, ARE HARMFUL. Those oils and shortenings deceptively sold as 'vegetable'. They are highly processed, damaged oils that have been chemically manipulated to make them seem OK to consume. They are not.
Can't wait for part 2! I really liked that last question about how if you're adapted and mess up it's not the end of the world. Just do your best not to continually mess up and fall back into old habits. But if you do you'll find your way back with greater appreciation for what keto is. :D Unfortunate that we didn't get to hear his views on intermittent fasting though. I know him and Jason Fung disagree on some points.
Phinney does mention 'intermittent' fasting in some of his talks. For clarification, the term 'intermittent fasting' in the keto world means restricting our meals to a certain period of time each day - usually 8 hours, or even 6 hours per day. Some people even choose to eat one meal per day. For those reading this who are unfamiliar with the concept, the theory is that our bodies may function better if they are not constantly digesting food. Also, this approach to eating is believed to be favorable to the burning of fat over burning carbs (sugar and starch - which is just sugar molecules linked together).
I had PCOS diagnosed as an obese teen and was told I’d never get pregnant. Within 3 months of giving up sugar (before I knew about lchf - just eliminated sugar after learning about Dr. Lustigs research), I was pregnant with my first son. He’s now a healthy 2 year old. No signs of PCOS after though I kept eating bread and carbs. Ran miles everyday to maintain any weight loss and put a lot of stress on myself. My second pregnancy lead to extreme weight gain (antidepressants were a leading factor), and I gave into sugar cravings which made it worse. Once I failed the first glucose screening, I decided to try the lchf diet (with my doctors approval) and passed the second diabetes test within perfect range. I immediately stopped gaining weight and my baby is still growing, active, and the doctors are happy with the progress. I’m hopeful after his birth (in just a few days!!) that I will continue to lose weight and find a healthy range for my body that doesn’t require hours of painful exercise every day. I also discovered a wheat allergy. I’ve been taking antihistamines to combat unexplained rash (diagnosed as urticaria which is a fancy word for hives) that were associated with heat, pressure, and stress. Once I eliminated the wheat, the near constant itchy rash was gone. I still take the meds for stress sometimes but I’m no longer taking them four times a day. My family has changed along with me and besides the initial sadness over the loss of favorite snacks, everyone enjoys the richer foods and my toddler has finally opened up to trying new varieties which is a big shift from only eating whole wheat waffles and sandwiches. If only I could convince the rest of my metabolically ill family that insulin and statins aren’t the way to health when you are morbidly obese and you aren’t going to exercise your way thin... I know this not only from experience but from the hours of lectures I’ve seen (almost 10 months pregnant at home with a toddler - I needed an intellectual fix and I’m grateful for the knowledge) from doctors explaining over 150 years of data driven science that has been neglected while the masses follow recommendations given by the Agricultural industry.
39:00 If you can...by putting somebody in a reduced carbohydrate intake, and we get their carb intake down below their personal threshold of tolerance, we see dramatic improvements in insulin resistance.... We basically individualized carbohydrate levels to get people into insulin sensitivity, which then enable weight loss. So, it's not the low carbohydrate, it's the improved insulin sensitivity that then gives the body permission to burn what it has in storage, rather than be dependent on what's coming in from the outside.
I have be following Dr Phinney LCHF dietary advice for just over 1 year now and I recently had my blood work done and was happy to find that all my bio markers have improved especially my lipid profile my HDL was 2.1 which is better than the average . The fact that I have bee consuming a lot more cholesterol foods while on LCHF my lipids have vastly improved from the prior years of not being on LCHF. I have lost over 30lbs of body fat and my athletic performance as a swimmer and cyclist has improved ,I am swimming events that for years I could not achieve on a high carb lifestyle.
Travis - if you have not done this already, it is relatively easy to find out how to contact Dr. Phinney directly using your favorite Internet search engine. Hope you get your question answered. You can most likely contact him through Verta Health.
Here's the source of your problems as described by Dr Phinney in the part 2 of this video: "Our guidelines in the United States are based on ideology not science and its sad that we can't penetrate that titanium shield of certainty."
ojconcentrate it took from 1982 until 1996 to change the medical societys minds on the treatment of stomach ulcers. So reversing on fat, wow, America will have to admit to the world that they got it wrong, I can't see that happening for a long time. We all followed the USA guidelines. www.cdc.gov/ulcer/history.htm
Not just medical ideology, but also religious beliefs have been behind the push to get people to reduce and even stop eating animal-source foods. Other speakers go into the history of the promotion of plant-based diets. The 7th Day Adventists are among those who have pushed - and are continuing to promote - not eating animals. Not out of concern for animals, but because they believe that eating meat and animal-source foods promotes lust and 'impure thoughts'. These people think it is perfectly fine to shove their plants-only diet religious beliefs don our throats - without revealing their motives. They have, and continue to, get their members into influential positions regarding diet- food guideline panels, etc. And they are not required to reveal their affiliation or motives The lucrative food industry, which profits exponentially more from the industrial production of crops (grains and seeds can be stored without refrigeration, making them commodities) and the manufacture of food-like substances from those crops (seed oils, deceptively sold as 'vegetable' and products like Crisco were originally produced for use in industry- as lubricants, for soapmaking, and candle making) . This massive industry has harnessed the religious beliefs of these people, as well as the presumably well-intentioned urge of those who want to refrain from eating animals or animal products our of misplaced concern for the animals. (They seem unaware that the only thing that does not die is something that was never alive. Or that other animals eat animals, so why should not the human animal which also evolved to eat animals - evolved because we ate animals, according to recent research.) In short, however sincere their beliefs, they are being used. As always, if we 'Follow the money' other motives are revealed. Industries of all kinds have bought research to 'prove' what they want: the tobacco, sugar, and medical industries have all been caught red-handed doing this. Loma Linda University is a 7th Day Adventist institution, so any nutrition research from Loma Linda is suspect.
Why is VIRTA Health not mentioned as the FIRST benefit of ANY employee healthcare plan? Just looked it up from his casual mention. OMG. This is amazing.
This has kind of diet has been around forever. My grandma was still wearing a bikini at 62 years old. She'd tell me to eat meat to lose pounds and veggies to lose inches. And she'd always tell me to stay away from carbs and sugars. 😀
Some stevia extracts are excellent sweeteners WITHOUT the funny aftertaste. Nutri Medix brand tastes good to us - or grow stevia and leave out the stems, as most of the bitter aftertaste comes from the stems. Small servings of low-sugar fruits like blueberries and blackberries are usually tolerated without spiking blood sugar or insulin release. For many, eating any sweets prolongs the addiction. The sweet flavor may also trigger insulin production, which will negate much of the benefit of a low-carb diet, may block ketosis, and may block weight loss... among other negative effects. The consumption of synthetic chemical sweeteners should, obviously, be avoided. Dr. Mercola's website has loads of info on the topic, with references.
Is there any research paper about the experiment, where they administered insulin to the patients with very high blood ketone levels? I am trying to find it, but cannot succeed.
Why would they want to do that? If keytones are high, insulin is low. So what would be the point? You would taking a healthy person and try to make them sick. Explain.
Did his diet combined with Intermittent Fasting. Was doing great, lost a lot of weight. No longer needed to take insulin (I'm type 2), but then after a couple months my ketones were in the purple and my uric acid levels went up really high. I had a hard time urinating -- felt like I had to go all the time but only a few drops came out. Also, I got gout joint pains all over my body, for the first time, all at once.. again just after 2 months on this diet plus intermittent fasting. So I had to abort and I haven't lost weight since and blood sugars are back up. Very depressing. I suppose I should see a bariatric physician and have them monitor me and my uric acid, if I attempt this agian.
Anyone having issues when implimenting a ketogenic diet should work with a keto knowlegable physician. Dr. Phinney works with Verta Health, a company founded to help people through nutritional ketosis. In addition to the things Phinney always advises - plenty of water, lots of sodium (salt), and potassium (her recommends home made bone broth), and magnesium - some people going onto a ketogenic diet will encounter other issues. Dr. Phinney would probably have advised not to do too much intermittent fasting, and would also have asked about clarification on how you were doing that. Uric acid levels usually come from a damaged liver, which is often the result of too much sugar, especially fructose, (or, presumably, too much alcohol). Another issue often overlooked is oxalate crystals. These come from plants. Rhubarb leaves are so high in oxalates that they are considered toxic, and can kill people pretty quickly. A guy not long ago reportedly died from eating a bowl of sorrel soup. Grains also contain oxalates, and spinach and curly leaf kale are high in it. So are many other commonly eaten plants. Oxalate crystals are most commonly associated with kidney stones, but they can appear in any part of the body, and cause a lot of damage. Apparently when we switch to a keto diet, we can experience symptoms for the first time. See 'Lost Seasonality and the Overconsumption of Plants- Risking Oxalate Toxicity' here on TH-cam for info.
For anyone who is reasonably medically awake with ketosis being just one part of the puzzle I'm sure your ears pricked up when at 17:15 he mentioned ketoacidosis being the result of an autoimmune disease of the pancreas. We all know that autoimmune disease is one of the obfuscated medical terms for vaccine induced injury. Aluminum adjuvants when injected into the body do not only exacerbate the immune response for the injected pathogen (inert or attenuated) but can and do also cause the immune system to react to the body's own DNA and cellular matter.
I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin long-term and short-term. Is there any curriculum anywhere that I can find to help me on my journey to a healthy keto diet? I have purchased your book but have not yet received it so I don't know what's in it. I keep hearing over and over that this is almost impossible for me because I'm diabetic? Can you help, help, help, please
Been keto for three weeks and already see pain decrease. Don’t know about weight because lost my scale in CA fire. Noticed my musical abilities have peaked too!
No one answers me!! Does the ketogenic diet (in a fully adapted after a period like 6 months of training and very carefully to the quality of foods) will improve the performance of distance runners below the marathon like (5km-10km)? Nobody respons I need the answer!! Nobody: 1- Virta team 2- Dr Berg 3- Thomas Delaware No one have read my inquiry did answer me.
You ask a lot of questions that if you took a few minutes could get answers for? Blood glucose monitoring diet cheap today via Walmart and ketone measurements by breath is not to e pensive by blood only expensive if you measure several times a day which is not needed...
I have wondered every since I started LCHF/Keto why others don't back it up for just the Health affects .. Yes grains are where the money is only those are the cheapest foods too . Well I should also say easiest to prepare and eat . Being 3 years on my Keto journey what I hear the most is I can't afford those foods or I don't have time to cook them from scratch . Toss a sandwich or frozen pizza at the family and call it a meal -- Very Sad :( Not sure if I would of been able price wise or willing to do it for my family of 4 either . If I hadn't been single I may of never tried .... Sure am Happy I did !!!
Sharee Walls I’m considering doing this. I’ve been keto about 3 weeks and when I prepare fruit for my kids I can feel my body begging for some of it. I’m not sure how I’m going to set up my cycle but i def think for nutrient status it’s a must eventually. Maybe I’ll do 3 days on, 4 days off, or one week on and one week off. I’ll do paleo on my days off.
@ 41:10 Dr. Phinney believes in the old "Calories IN, Calories OUT" theory ?... Weird. I'm a believer in LCHF but why bother with a LCHF diet if it's all about calories ? ;) I'm very surprised at Steven saying this because many experts & Doctors in the LCHF world agree that calories mean nothing.
+David Lomm Whats the belief behind your theory if calories dont matter? Do lean people get thinner and thinner on keto until they vanish? Do these experts present evidence? e.g. an average person with TDEE of lets say 2500kcal, eating 5000kcal HCLF and still losing weight? As far as I know keto helps greatly with hunger control and satiety. Thats why they all usually say "eat until full". If you eat way more calories, e.g. because of stress or while watching TV, then you wont lose weight. Also there are other benefits of keto...
I think there may be some justification to still consider calories in versus calories out. Because it seems that if you're in ketosis but eating over your Daily Recommended Amount of calories you are for some reason more likely to have high blood sugar (@31:19), develop diabetes (physiological insulin resistance) & increase LDL cholesterol. While if you do the same ketogenic diet, eating below your RDA of calories you are more likely to reduce your bad cholesterol & avoid the risk of developing diabetes. The best option I can see then for avoiding diabetes on a low carb diet, is probably to switch over to a non ketogenic low carb diet, like Paleo when you no longer need to lose any weight & only need to maintain your current weight. So maybe going from a 20g net carb Keto diet to 90g net carb Paleo diet (via increased fruits & vegetables).
David Lomm you still need a calorie deficit to make your body burn it's own fat. If your goal is to lose weight But if your body is not adapted to burning fat then those endogenous calories won't be readily available. You don't need to calorie count if you eat high fat, it's hard to over eat past satiety with fat.
It's not my theory & I can't remember which Doctor spoke of it but a calorie deficit is starvation,... The math was also reversed to show that if a 45 year old man has gained 40 pounds in 20 years since he was 25 (which is common) then he need only NOT burn 21 calories a day to get that result,... Just 21 calories a day in surplus ! That's 1% or less of your daily intake which could easily be incorrect calorie counting. So, you either screw up by 21 calories a day & end up 40 pounds fatter or your starving yourself ? If you look at "Calories in & out" & consider how a calorie is measured, the "In vs Out" theory is more thermodynamics than Biology isn't it ? I think the success of a Keto or LCHF diet supports this because 70% of your diet as fat is a high calorie diet because fat has twice the calories as protein or carbs. Any thoughts ?
hi.... Can you put a video up about Endotoxins that are related to fat consumption? this is a subject I can;t really find research about and it;s important....
Dr.Phinney deeply appreciate this video and the others very good speaker want buy your book i have a slow metabolism & don't want to lose muscle can you help me to improve my metabolism. Thanks so very very much.
While I love Phinney my mind screams that we are still going about this all wrong.The world must re-engineer the foods that are easy to produce and most of the world would love to be able to eat without ill effects.This food is carbohydrate based food.If we altered a large part of present day carb foods in a bad way we should now start altering them into more healthful options.
Ideally, the world would stop getting in the way of people providing for themselves. Real food, not processed food-like products. Or support those locally who are producing real food. It is not difficult. It can be fun! An example: it is easy to make ice cream at home, ideally from 100% grassfed milk fro Jersey or other cows that produce high butterfat milk, preferably unprocessed. The milk we get is 5% butterfat. Sometimes we add more cream. Sometimes we add pastured egg yolks from a local source. Add in cocoa powder, or melted 95%+ cacao chocoalte, or a bit of vanilla, or whatever low to no sugar flavor one likes. Bits like nuts or high cocoa chocolate have to be stirred in at the end. Sometimes we add a couple drops per cup of good stevia extract - but once we got off sugar, we find this milk so delicious we often don't need to add any sweetener. Voila! A tasty, refreshing creamy treat that is healthful! We find this far more refreshing than the overly sweet and candy laden junk sold commercially. (Note: this ice cream is CREAMY, not sticky or gummy. Those processed additives, like guar gum, locust bean gum, and carageenan are added to 'ice cream' so they can reduce the cream content and it will still be thick. A grain-based diet did not exist anywhere until approximately 10,000 years ago - at the dawn of so-called civilization, when certain societies switched from egalitarian and more-or-less in balance with the ecosystems they live in, to stratified societies that concentrated power in the hands of a few, and exploited both people and ecological resources to achieve and maintain that power. We call the first type of society 'primitive', and the second type 'advanced'. Not all 'carbs' are bad, of course. Eating non-starchy vegetables can be healthy. Low-sugar fruits, in moderation, can also be healthy additions to our diets. (Let's not forget that most fruit sold today is MASSIVELY higher in sugar than their wild ancestors. And, fruit was generally not available 24/7 to most people until very recently.) In addition to starch, grains have anti-nutritional factors that can be a problem when consumed in quantity over a long period of time. (Also, grains not grown organically are often sprayed with synthetic chemical herbicides when ripe as a 'harvest aid' or 'drydown agent'. This is done shortly before the grain is combined and sold, meaning that the residues of these toxins in foods made from this herbicide soaked grain can be shockingly high.
It can be done if the world sets out to do it IMO.Get rid of toxins and convert the glycemic value of these foods to be better.If we could change bread,pasta etc to be good for us then that is a step in right direction. My body responded very favorably to a low glycemic diet many yrs back.Nowadays it does not work like it did when I was in my youth but the idea of this better foods still pops up in my mind.
It's easy to change bread to be good for you. I've done it before. You just put it in the bin and replace it with buttered sprouts, steamed in a microwave. However, I miss the "food-handle" aspects of bread and it's ability to soak up masses of butter and meat juices - the latter soaking-up properties I don't need because of my lifestyle (I don't carry heavy items back and forth across town all day for a living like I might have done 200 -> 2000 years ago), but the edible food-handle property is still useful and it's a nuisance not having it.
You can't make better food, nature already has the best food. We are adapted to it. Those who think they can create a better version of nature will suffer by nature.
A recent discovery on diet research: you should eat much more complex carbs, all types of fruits and pulses. And you should minimize animal products. Keep up the good work.
A more recent study shows that all plants produce poisons to prevent being eaten. You should minimize carbohydrate products and eat only pure healthy meat.
hello I am type two diabetic I do the interment fasting and have no problem with control of sugar levels I know type one that eats 24 banana a day and that was once though unthinkable
2:25 -- Exercise does not mean going to a gym or running or biking or lifting weights in a structured way. You body, your heart, does NOT care if you are in a gym OR just working in the garden or shop or anywhere else. Your body sees all this as exercise. Git that into your brain, OK? lol
Lots of details here on the subject .. I don't think knowing all these details are needed, ESP for me. I get few CARBS, no processed foods, 2 meals a day and have reaped benefits I will not bore you with. No calories counting, just eat as I desire, mostly VEGGYs, low fruit, and eat butter, cheese as desired along with chicken, pork, beef ... Am I in this ketos? I don't know and don't care. My body seems AOK for a 64 yr old and no I do not do or do I wanna do a black diamond ...
I still don't understand how keto is better when it is not our default setting? We see that people in extremely cold climates would naturally have a high-fat diet, but man originated in tropical zones; forests were probably our first and primary habitat and carbs would have been our primary source of energy.
um, Africans have lower type 2 diabetes... note I said Africans, not African Americans who are liekly 'mixed' original and not originally native to Africa the last 500+ years. Any human with Neanderthal gene explore (Caucasian and Asians) are likely to be insulin resistant. Geography and native diet do directly impact ability to process food as energy .. you were unlikely to eat an apple everyday in Sweden, but likkly to eat fresh fish and salt cured fish...
Dr Jason Fung says the protein from ketosis comes from cartilage, flab, and damaged proteins via aurophagy. Hence, for fibromyalgia the best bet is fasting to trigger aurophagy, from intermittent on up to longer fasts. Drop the hate for fasting. Find a middle ground at least. Your credibility is henged on keeping up with current events.
Protein 1.2-1.6g per kg Carbs 30g for first 3 months Upto 45g once you are fully fat apadted Fat, eat what you need to either maintain or loose weight.
2:12 -- What Mr. Phinney is saying that you can get someone to memorize something and yet that person be clueless on the meaning of what they just memorized... In some form, this can make you into an educated idiot.
Under what circumstances in nature would humans have had ketogenic diets? The closest I can think of is eskimos, and their health is crap. A priori, known science excluded, one could argue that a ketogenic diet might work. But given what we know about the consequences of fats on the arteries, ketogenic diets make no sense. Switch from sugars to produce, so you avoid the deadly side effects of keto diets.
Many aboriginal populations throughout history were studied prior to the 1950s for their incredibly low to non-existent rates of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease; such as the Maasai in East Africa, the Pima Indians in South-western U.S., the Inuit in the arctic, etc. Only when these populations were introduced to sugar and white flour did their health outcomes start to resemble people eating a "western diet". Also, most of these people were most definitely in fasting ketosis and they had better health outcomes prior to the introduction of refined carbohydrates. If Ketosis were dangerous, humans would have never made it through natural selection.
I've seen debunking of those Inuit and Maasai claims (plus, why should we be looking to short-lived populations for dietary guidance? there's much more to learn from blue zones.) As for the Pima, I'm sure ample soda, sugar, and oil contribute to their obesity, but I don't see on what basis one excludes the influence of the enormous increase in animal foods they have no doubt added to their diets. "If Ketosis were dangerous, humans would have never made it through natural selection." Seems to me this is conflating 1. "lack of food ketosis" (i.e., fasting, no carbs or food at all) with 2. fat and protein ketosis (atkins-style carb exclusion only). They're not the same. With Option 2, though there's often a health-related benefit from the weight loss due to lower calorie intake, that's offset by the cardiovascular disease and cancer one would otherwise avoid if eating an unrefined plant-based diet.
You called Keto diets deadly. Provided no evidence, and then conflated post-industrialization Inuit populations as having poor health, with pre-industrialization inuits known for their great health (being almost completely in a state of ketosis). Again, you don't have the evidence to back your assertions.
Here. Table 2. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109705003670 and www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989112/ and I'm sure there are many, many more. The CVD burden of keto diets abounds in the literature. Btw, I think the burden of proof is on the keto diets. The null hypothesis, based on nutritional consensus, in turn based on scientific evidence, is in favor of diets with high produce content; the consensus also is that cholesterol and saturated fat lead to disease. There is no tolerable upper limit for these substances - any amount of them increases your CVD risk. Is there a benefit to keto? Sure, if you're obese and it reduces your calorie intake. That's not really the question that need be answered, however. We're in search of the healthiest diet, not one that is marginally better than SAD. So...is there a benefit to Atkins-style keto to an ideal weight plant-based eater? Nope. CVD and cancer risk factors would shoot up within a week or two of such a dietary change. Atkins himself had advanced CVD and was overweight, despite decades of flogging (and presumably eating) his nonsense approach. Not that a data point of 1 proves anything.
You don't understand what you just linked to me. All the RCTs in this summary show a low carb diet increases HDL and decreases triglycerides. A low HDL to triglyceride ratio is an indication of CVD, and the RCTs for low carb diets showed the oppposite, having much better HDL to tryglyceride ratios. So where is your evidence that low-carb or keto gives you CVD or increased cancer risk? It's "abound in the literature" but you can't link one that shows worse CVD risk outcomes for low-carb/keto Also, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Which was you. You claimed keto was deadly, and you still haven't shown that is the case.
Insulin resistance in most cases means you have too much insulin all the time. The insulin can't shove the sugar into your cells anymore because they are already full of sugar. When this happens the sugar is stored as fat. Type II diabetes meds make your cells more sensitive to insulin, or you are actually given more insulin. That forces more sugar into your cells, like stomping garbage into an already full trash bag. The answer isn't to stuff more sugar into your cells, it is to reduce the amount of sugar in your body.
6 months in Keto, 1 month into it no more Fibromyalgia, Fibro fog, IBS, contanstly tired, PMS, headaches. I’m trying to educate doctors that said everything was in my head... I’m full of energy, doing exercise I’m excited by life again. My immense gratitude to the researches who still fighting against main stream stupid believes, and that allow me to fix my health.
To everyone looking for an answer to their inexplicable health problems this may be your solution as was mine.❤️
Really appreciate the subtitles for the questions people were asking. Thanks a lot for taking the effort to do that for us.
On 'intermittent fasting', in another video, Dr. Phinney states that in his view, fasting up to 16 hours a day is no problem- referring to a water-only fast. He expressed concern about people getting enough sodium, magnesium, and potassium - which people generally get from leafy greens and meats. Longer fasts with bone broth (ideally homemade from 100% grassfed meats or pastured poultry) avoid the mineral issues, as the minerals are available in the broth.
Dr. Fung and his partner in Intensive Dietary Interventions, Ms Ramos, have presented research at conferences in 2018 and 2019 that show that the 'lean mass' loss in those following their fasting protocols is primarily excess connective tissue, skin, etc that the body no longer needs as it looses weight - and that little or no muscle mass is lost. Those interested in this approach should look up those presentations.
I reversed my T2DM and NAFLD in 3 months, cutting out most starch and sugar, on the LCHF approach, I am a family doctor.
any relapses??
Yr patients with sugar and insulin issues are so lucky.
good for you!!
This guy is my hero and the guy who uploaded all those fantastic videos deserves a medal too! Thank you!
That's Low Carb Down Under, in Australia, and you can subscribe for free, and hear all the speakers they have on repretoire - but Dr. Stephen Phinney is pretty much a forerunner on the whole Keto deal, having 2 great books (along with 2 co-authors) which you can get from the library or online. These guys are saving many lives throughout the world.
This stuff is like gold. I'll just add my voice to those clamouring for part 2. I have to say a huge thank you to LCDU for publishing all these videos (& arranging the conferences?) because 'up top' here in Scotland we are nowhere near as far forward in our thinking about low carb & our health problems associated with heart disease & diabetes are among the worst in the world. Personally speaking, every single member of my family on my father's side (including him) have died from an illness associated with these conditions. I'm doing my best to break that trend...
It's not genetics. It's lifestyle.
Hurrah for this noble Scotsman. I'm charmed by your "up top" phrasing. I hope all is well for you and your loved ones as you keep choosing this normal but different lifestyle.
My husband and I are quite encouraged with our health improvements after 4 months. Greetings from Southwest michigan, the "Glove" state in the USA.
@@japonicaren He is meaning the Scots have one of the worst diets and unhealthy living in parts of society. I am glad my parents came to London where I have been studying health for 65 years and drawn to ketosis now to avoid prostate problems and dementia etc etc.
Dr. Stephen Phinney is a total mensch and I am immensely grateful for his work and continued willingness to teach and learn about ways to heal our metabolic derangements. Easy to listen to him for hours. Looks like we will have that chance!
Dr. Stephen Phinney is my guy. Thanks for this, even though I'm a year late.
I ate too much protein while on keto doing a bodybuilder program and the excess = glucose from gluconeogenisis.
It wasn't until listening to Dr Fung that I realized the protein raised insulin too, and how bad that was. My LDL-P shot up!
I've had four heart attacks, the first 22 1/2 years ago at the age of 39 and my dad died of a heart attack at 33. He was a fit fighter pilot who had just passed a physical to fly for United Airlines and I've always been active and fit. I have FH type IIa (TC 325, HDL 24, TG 175 while on a high carb diet). That TG / HDL ratio over 7 is a serious problem. Dr. Phinney is the first person I've seen, to diagnose that correctly as metabolic syndrome. I decided about six years ago that my problem was really a form of diabetes and not CVD/heart disease. The only times I've had my sugar tested it came in at 5.5 HBa1c and that was after I'd already been on a relatively low carb diet. And now on a very low carb diet, I generally test at about 112 on a blood glucose meter, which I believe would still be about 5.5 HBa1c. Most Physicians would say that is OK, but according to Dr.Richard K. Bernstein, he's seen diabetic complications with HBa1c of 5.7 and he thinks 4.6 is optimum. Dr. Phinney mentions getting down to 5.7 or 5.9 in this video. That may be OK for some, but certainly for me, and others who have high TC and TG/HDL ratios above 2, that would be high enough to cause arterial damage. Since going nearly Zero Carb, I seem to be getting better and the arteries seem to be healing. I say that because my angina is decreasing and I've been able to resume exercising again. I've been dealing with angina for the last thirteen years or so and had stopped exercising completely for over three years because just about any exertion at all would bring on angina. I might mention that on a very low carb, high fat diet my TC is about 400, HDL 69 and TG 58. I like that HDL number and ratio of under 1 to 1.
May I ask, what do you typically eat in a day?
I eat a low carb high fat diet, use intermittent fasting every day as well. That would be not eating breakfast until about noon and try to get dinner started by 5:30 or so and eat NOTHING in between. That closes up/ limits the window of insulin and sugar coursing through the arteries in a 24 hour period. It's quite possible that intermittent fasting is responsible for much of the improvement I've seen. For brunch, I eat something like bacon and eggs with cream cheese and for dinner something like a ribeye steak and asparagus. I eat very few carbohydrates and what I do eat would be green veggies e.g., broccoli, spinach and the like. Hope that helps.
supplements are junk and make expensive pee. eat real food! HFLC will fulfill all nutritional needs. Do the research.
Great! But please, what does TC stand for? My HDL was 65 1/2 a year ago, and TG was 78... so I agree with everything you're saying. Have you had a CAC scan (coronary artery scan, available without dr referral for around $75 - for those who don't know) done? Mine came back at 6.
at around 34:00 you talk about salt dropping in body... I went on a low carb high fat diet for about 4 months and lost 30 lbs. some where around month 3 I notice I was adding salt to everything I was eating... I thought it was due to not getting the sodium from processed foods but it makes... my doctor didn't have answer... my point is that when you need the sodium your body will let you know through taste at least that's my experience...I just began back on this diet and am going through day 2 and have headache from what I think is lack or the with draw from sugar
Lack of insulin results in kidneys dumping sodium. Hence the need for more sodium in ketosis.
If you want to boost your health then a good source of sodium is sodium ascorbate (it's sold online as a source of buffered vitamin C).
Each gram has 110mg of sodium. Upping your Vitamin C intake is a win win. Look up Dr Suzanne Humphries here on TH-cam for more info on vitamin C.
Good for you for listening to your body about what it needs! Issues can arise when people believe the propaganda that says low salt/sodium consumption is healthy. Of course, a natural, non-processed salt without toxic additives is better than regular table salt. Table salt is heated to around 1,200 F, and has chemicals added, primarily to keep it flowing. These days, most all sea salt contains pollution (including micro bits of plastic, etc), and some sea salt is also processed. Natural mineral salts like Himalayan pink, Redmond's from Utah (also pink), or Kansas grey salts are excellent alternatives. MUCH tastier, too! Once you are used to the flavor of real salt, commercial table salt tastes bad.
Yes, Yes, Yes, around the 32 minute point Dr. Phinney tells the story of people purposely eating a starvation diet being given insulin to lower their blood glucose to the point that they should go into a coma. But they don't. Thus, the brain can work well with nearly no glucose in the brain.
That proves what I've been saying for some time. One of the main reasons for insulin dependent diabetics to eat low carb or a keto diet is that very low blood sugars would affect their mental and motor capacity only marginally and would prevent most comas. (Of course, I must point out that driving while having your mental and motor skills marginally impaired is very dangerous and should be avoided.)
As a T1D for 51 years, I've been eating a low carb diet since 2004. Since then I've had way to many blood sugars below the 50 mg/dl and a few times below 40. During those times I functioned well enough to test, find food and eat it. I've even conducted a meeting and tested my sugar afterwards and it was like 47.
Yes - and through gluconeogenises, the body can make all the glucose it needs, which is a tiny amount.
Check out the work of Dr. Jason Fung from Toronto, Canada: "Aeteology of Obesity" and also "Intermittent fasting".
I'd second that; I went to a seminar last year with Magen Ramos (Fung's associate and speaks with/for him frequently) where she spoke of her and Fung's clinical experience with helping people, in short, the people's results ranged anywhere from mildly effective (usually in the cases of ppl that only engaged in the bare minimum) to life-saving.
I'm a nutritionist and adopt a practice of not asking a client to do something that I wouldn't do myself, so I tried Fasting and it's amazingly effectual across many spectrums - I continue to do it to this day.
youtube actually recommended me that particular video...
at minutes 53
they ask about fibromyalgia and being ketogenic
I myself was diagnosed three years ago with fibromyalgia and I have managed to be under 20 grams of carbs for the past 5 weeks
I stopped hurting in my third week
I've not had any pain in my joints or skin or muscles sense week three
I believe it is inflammation and the ketogenic diet is non inflammoratoy
I love the fact that I now experience life without discomfort due to inflammation
this will be my diet for the rest of my life
I'm so blessed to have stumbled onto the info
There are a number of reliable, knowledgeable people out there who have chosen ketosis as a life-style. Listening to the doctors' presentations convinced me keto is the way to go. The everyday practitioners supply me with recipes and tips. Check out KetoConnect's and Headbangers Kitchen TH-cam channels for keto-compliant bread and cake recipes.
Bread isn't the only carbs/sugar out there, but cake is pure sugar.
Michelle Laughter
Hi what did you eat.? I too am full of pain. Please help
Dr Susan Myhill has interesting paleo-keto info out on this and CFS as well.
I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia 19 yrs ago. (Including migraines and panic disorder). Only cutting out sugar and flour has helped. Keto is also helping with other inflammation issues like bulging disc in neck. Doesn't cure the disc but helps.
wow! Great stuff...and only half way into it.
This is why I left vegetarianism. At around 31 minutes into it he calmly points out that for yet unknown reasons some people in ketosis can "flirt" with higher (although still in normal range) blood sugar levels which is opposite to what not only what they usually find but also opposite to what they would anticipate. He and others have indicated these anomoliies too. Leaders in other eating energy sourcing "diets" especially the vegetarian community would nearly never discuss possible weakness in their approach... not to mention do actual research studies .... There is still so much to learn and asking questions, pointing out weak spots or unknowns is what I'd consider a more science approach ... thank you again....
I got very sick being a vegan and vegetarian. I have so much more energy eating this way.
Brett Van Zandt There are many vegans who use a scientific approach refer to studies and recognize potential drawbacks.
I am trying the keto diet as a vegan, and feeling great. My diet is centered on greens, nuts, avocados, olives and coconuts. I really feel this is the way to go. Look at Rosedale ' s recommendations, mostly vegan. Animal products generally have too much protein.
+The Fruit Addict Sounds delicious

I have fibromyalgia so this should be a good experiment for me. I have been on the Keto diet for 3 weeks so far and down 13 lbs. This has not been a hard diet for me. I feel I'm in control of my life now.
Barbara Riepe ~ I'd love to hear how things have gone for you over the last 11 months since you posted this. For me, only six weeks in, there is still so much to learn! I'm seeing great results, though, in my glucose blood readings and I set up my macros for slow but steady weight loss which is going well. I'm truly curious to know the effects the Keto diet has on fibromyalgia.

I am not diabetic. I am on keto. Recently i have started taking glucose readings. I got 2 pre eating readings 2.1 and 2.9. No symptoms of low sugars whatsoever. I was shocked. So were diabetic friends and a medical prof (surgery). Thank goodness i found you and eric berg.
I watched Dr. Stephen on Low Carb Down Under (Sept 2014/15?), and thought: "Eat tons of FAT and get SKINNY? Like ingesting 24 beers in a night was a bad idea, well I've put worse in this body, so why not!"
I was 250 pounds, and then in 6 -8 weeks, the scale reads 220? The look of confusion on my face was priceless. WTH! How is this possible? By 4 months sub 200! At 6 foot tall this is an awesome weight, a few more pounds and BINGO 6 pack, because I can start to see them !!!!!
keep us updated
I have awful joint pain, ..done Keto before but never properly. Thank goodness I’ve found this guy..amazing!
I know right. I went on a low fat diet and gained weight. Now I know why . LoL
+David Lomm
He's not referring to the calories in/out paradigm as the necessary precondition for being weight stable (which states that quantity is the most important factor, irrespective of what the different "diets" in the market consist of), but rather to the notion that, once you're ketoadapted and weight-stable, your body can perfectly rely on external sources of fat/protein without undergoing changes in its composition, even if you're a high performance athlete. That's mostly the point: keto works for high performance sports.
He's not saying that if they had eaten more calories they would have gotten fatter, but rather that the body could rely on that source of calories, given that they ate what they burned, without wasting muscle and losing lean body mass, which is a major concern for sportsmen.
And the calories in/out thing is redundant, because LCHF proponents state that the body regains the ability to regulate how much it needs from an external source. Nobody said that calories "mean nothing", but rather that counting calories is useless for weight loss, because different metabolic types react differently to different types of food, which leads to inconsistent results.
Yes. I short, the thought that ' a calorie is a calorie' and that body weight is simply and only a matter of how many calories one consumes assumes that we are mechanical, like a steam engine. - and totally ignores the fact that we are biological entities.
The 'body as machine' metaphor had its uses, yet biology is so much more complex than any machine. And it does not exist in a vacuum, but is also affected by the environment- sunlight, temperature, pollutants...
Fats and proteins and carbohydrates have different effects on the body, aside from caloric content. Yet of course, if massively more intake occurs than the body can use, it will generally store it. This is very different from 'a calorie is a calorie' no matter the form.
I really appreciate this being available so I can learn. : )
I couldn't agree more! I have watched this video so many times. This video really inspired me. In fact, this is the video that pushed me over the edge and got me into doing Keto. Six months later I've lost 40 lb; check out my video here. th-cam.com/video/LXr9x-CG5vw/w-d-xo.html
As always, an amazing presentation by Dr Stephen Phinney. Thank you very much.
Tutti Bravo! Thank you for being another voice on Utube on the subject of Keto. Excellent addition to the mix.
You are extraordinarily humble and a wise person. Thanks Dr.
It takes a while to wrap your brain around this because of all the faulty programming received, and that's still being pushed. I just finished 3 months and compared bloodwork from LCHF versus what was essentially a low fat diet chopped full of lentils, brown rice, salads, chicken, fish...
Well, my results were shocking even though I've seen enough videos to convince me it would work. However, I encourage skeptics to test their blood, and open your mind. My risks decreased (they were never high) on a diet full of healthy, while fats. I eat so many things I used to avoid. I'm satiated and here's the real news. I lost 14 pounds, and exercise less. I did not lose one pound while on a low fat, high carb (but still "good" carb diet...like sweet potatoes, brown rice, lentils, et cetera) diet. Again, test yourself. I'm convinced. Thinking of a tattoo HF for life!
You are one of the lucky few who can eat rice and still reduce your blood sugar levels and insulin spikes- which block fat burning. And/or you are still quite young. Over time, many who can get away with eating things like rice (brown or white or black. makes little difference).
Many people with insulin resistance, Type 2 diabetes, and/or excess weight cannot even eat legumes and stay in fat-burning mode.
More on legumes, also on the Low Carb Down Under Channel: Dr. Paul Mason 'th-cam.com/video/mjQZCCiV6iA/w-d-xo.html
I had to check into the ER with a racing heart beat, palpitations and weakness in my legs about 3 weeks into my ketogenic diet, I thought I was having a heart attack but after ECG, blood tests and chest x-rays I was given the all clear. The nurse said my blood sugar had plummeted, I hadn't been exercising or anything and I got hypoglycemia symptoms on and off for the first 3-5 weeks. I'm approaching my tenth week now and don't get the symptoms anymore, I had a blood panel done and my Triglycerides dropped from 1.1mmol to 0.8mmol, my Erythrocyte Sedimentation Rate dropped from 18 (it's been high every blood test I've had for over 5 years, I've battled with inflammation for a long time) down to 5 which is pretty incredible. My fasting blood glucose is 5.0, used to be elevated prior to the diet. LDL has increased although HDL also increased, total cholesterol went from 5.1 to 5.4mmol so I'm working on increasing unsaturated fat intake and exercise.
No need to avoid saturated fat! All fat sources contain a mix of fats. Only butter and coconut oil contain mostly saturated fat - which just means that those fats are more stable when heated. Clarified butter, aka ghee, is widely used for cooking at higher temperatures because of this.
Check out Dr. Zoe Harcombe's presentations of fats on YT for details. Nina Tiecholts, Dr. Paul Mason, Ivor Cummins and others have exploded the myth that saturated fat is harmful. They also have shown that there was NEVER any science behind thinking that saturated fat was a health risk.
Seed oils, on the other hand, ARE HARMFUL. Those oils and shortenings deceptively sold as 'vegetable'. They are highly processed, damaged oils that have been chemically manipulated to make them seem OK to consume. They are not.
Can't wait for part 2! I really liked that last question about how if you're adapted and mess up it's not the end of the world. Just do your best not to continually mess up and fall back into old habits. But if you do you'll find your way back with greater appreciation for what keto is. :D Unfortunate that we didn't get to hear his views on intermittent fasting though. I know him and Jason Fung disagree on some points.
Phinney does mention 'intermittent' fasting in some of his talks.
For clarification, the term 'intermittent fasting' in the keto world means restricting our meals to a certain period of time each day - usually 8 hours, or even 6 hours per day. Some people even choose to eat one meal per day.
For those reading this who are unfamiliar with the concept, the theory is that our bodies may function better if they are not constantly digesting food. Also, this approach to eating is believed to be favorable to the burning of fat over burning carbs (sugar and starch - which is just sugar molecules linked together).
As Dr. Thomas Seyfried says, "the human being evolved to starve." Fasting is as natural as breathing.
I had PCOS diagnosed as an obese teen and was told I’d never get pregnant. Within 3 months of giving up sugar (before I knew about lchf - just eliminated sugar after learning about Dr. Lustigs research), I was pregnant with my first son. He’s now a healthy 2 year old.
No signs of PCOS after though I kept eating bread and carbs. Ran miles everyday to maintain any weight loss and put a lot of stress on myself.
My second pregnancy lead to extreme weight gain (antidepressants were a leading factor), and I gave into sugar cravings which made it worse. Once I failed the first glucose screening, I decided to try the lchf diet (with my doctors approval) and passed the second diabetes test within perfect range. I immediately stopped gaining weight and my baby is still growing, active, and the doctors are happy with the progress.
I’m hopeful after his birth (in just a few days!!) that I will continue to lose weight and find a healthy range for my body that doesn’t require hours of painful exercise every day.
I also discovered a wheat allergy. I’ve been taking antihistamines to combat unexplained rash (diagnosed as urticaria which is a fancy word for hives) that were associated with heat, pressure, and stress. Once I eliminated the wheat, the near constant itchy rash was gone. I still take the meds for stress sometimes but I’m no longer taking them four times a day.
My family has changed along with me and besides the initial sadness over the loss of favorite snacks, everyone enjoys the richer foods and my toddler has finally opened up to trying new varieties which is a big shift from only eating whole wheat waffles and sandwiches.
If only I could convince the rest of my metabolically ill family that insulin and statins aren’t the way to health when you are morbidly obese and you aren’t going to exercise your way thin... I know this not only from experience but from the hours of lectures I’ve seen (almost 10 months pregnant at home with a toddler - I needed an intellectual fix and I’m grateful for the knowledge) from doctors explaining over 150 years of data driven science that has been neglected while the masses follow recommendations given by the Agricultural industry.
I actually enjoyed listening to this Dr.
Thank you.
39:00 If you can...by putting somebody in a reduced carbohydrate intake, and we get their carb intake down below their personal threshold of tolerance, we see dramatic improvements in insulin resistance....
We basically individualized carbohydrate levels to get people into insulin sensitivity, which then enable weight loss.
So, it's not the low carbohydrate, it's the improved insulin sensitivity that then gives the body permission to burn what it has in storage, rather than be dependent on what's coming in from the outside.
What an awesome presentation. Looking forward to more ... thank you thank you. thank you.
What a cliffhanger, please - publish the next part!
I have be following Dr Phinney LCHF dietary advice for just over 1 year now and I recently had my blood work done and was happy to find that all my bio markers have improved especially my lipid profile my HDL was 2.1 which is better than the average . The fact that I have bee consuming a lot more cholesterol foods while on LCHF my lipids have vastly improved from the prior years of not being on LCHF. I have lost over 30lbs of body fat and my athletic performance as a swimmer and cyclist has improved ,I am swimming events that for years I could not achieve on a high carb lifestyle.
I love Dr. Phinney like I love bacon.
Excellent and scientifically explained video, thanks so much!
I wish I could ask Dr.Steven Phinney one question.
Great video, I always enjoy them, thanks for uploading it.
Travis - if you have not done this already, it is relatively easy to find out how to contact Dr. Phinney directly using your favorite Internet search engine. Hope you get your question answered. You can most likely contact him through Verta Health.
Great results for people with insulin resistance related diseases
Here's the source of your problems as described by Dr Phinney in the part 2 of this video: "Our guidelines in the United States are based on ideology not science and its sad that we can't penetrate that titanium shield of certainty."
ojconcentrate it took from 1982 until 1996 to change the medical societys minds on the treatment of stomach ulcers. So reversing on fat, wow, America will have to admit to the world that they got it wrong, I can't see that happening for a long time. We all followed the USA guidelines.

Not just medical ideology, but also religious beliefs have been behind the push to get people to reduce and even stop eating animal-source foods. Other speakers go into the history of the promotion of plant-based diets. The 7th Day Adventists are among those who have pushed - and are continuing to promote - not eating animals. Not out of concern for animals, but because they believe that eating meat and animal-source foods promotes lust and 'impure thoughts'. These people think it is perfectly fine to shove their plants-only diet religious beliefs don our throats - without revealing their motives. They have, and continue to, get their members into influential positions regarding diet- food guideline panels, etc. And they are not required to reveal their affiliation or motives
The lucrative food industry, which profits exponentially more from the industrial production of crops (grains and seeds can be stored without refrigeration, making them commodities) and the manufacture of food-like substances from those crops (seed oils, deceptively sold as 'vegetable' and products like Crisco were originally produced for use in industry- as lubricants, for soapmaking, and candle making) . This massive industry has harnessed the religious beliefs of these people, as well as the presumably well-intentioned urge of those who want to refrain from eating animals or animal products our of misplaced concern for the animals. (They seem unaware that the only thing that does not die is something that was never alive. Or that other animals eat animals, so why should not the human animal which also evolved to eat animals - evolved because we ate animals, according to recent research.) In short, however sincere their beliefs, they are being used.
As always, if we 'Follow the money' other motives are revealed. Industries of all kinds have bought research to 'prove' what they want: the tobacco, sugar, and medical industries have all been caught red-handed doing this. Loma Linda University is a 7th Day Adventist institution, so any nutrition research from Loma Linda is suspect.

hello I have fibromyalgia and I started the keto diet on my birthday in august 2019 I am down 40lbs and my fibromyalgia is 50 % better
Do we have schools in US for Ketogenic PA?
Why is VIRTA Health not mentioned as the FIRST benefit of ANY employee healthcare plan? Just looked it up from his casual mention. OMG. This is amazing.
This has kind of diet has been around forever. My grandma was still wearing a bikini at 62 years old. She'd tell me to eat meat to lose pounds and veggies to lose inches. And she'd always tell me to stay away from carbs and sugars. 😀
How long did she live?
Don't lie Please
Love the sayings of the old people. The food pyramid is ridiculous to them.
Some stevia extracts are excellent sweeteners WITHOUT the funny aftertaste. Nutri Medix brand tastes good to us - or grow stevia and leave out the stems, as most of the bitter aftertaste comes from the stems.
Small servings of low-sugar fruits like blueberries and blackberries are usually tolerated without spiking blood sugar or insulin release.
For many, eating any sweets prolongs the addiction. The sweet flavor may also trigger insulin production, which will negate much of the benefit of a low-carb diet, may block ketosis, and may block weight loss... among other negative effects.
The consumption of synthetic chemical sweeteners should, obviously, be avoided. Dr. Mercola's website has loads of info on the topic, with references.
Is there any research paper about the experiment, where they administered insulin to the patients with very high blood ketone levels? I am trying to find it, but cannot succeed.
Why would they want to do that? If keytones are high, insulin is low. So what would be the point? You would taking a healthy person and try to make them sick. Explain.
I was watching and realized I had forgotten my broth. Thanks, Dr. Phinney.
Do you have suggestions for getting enough sodium on a vegetarian ketogenic diet?
please post part two as well
Hi why the transcription of this video is in Chinese? I need it in English pls!
Did his diet combined with Intermittent Fasting. Was doing great, lost a lot of weight. No longer needed to take insulin (I'm type 2), but then after a couple months my ketones were in the purple and my uric acid levels went up really high. I had a hard time urinating -- felt like I had to go all the time but only a few drops came out. Also, I got gout joint pains all over my body, for the first time, all at once.. again just after 2 months on this diet plus intermittent fasting. So I had to abort and I haven't lost weight since and blood sugars are back up. Very depressing. I suppose I should see a bariatric physician and have them monitor me and my uric acid, if I attempt this agian.
Hello, I see your post was a yr ago. Did you find a resolution or why this happened?
Sodium?
@Dustyluvs Keto good tip
Anyone having issues when implimenting a ketogenic diet should work with a keto knowlegable physician. Dr. Phinney works with Verta Health, a company founded to help people through nutritional ketosis.
In addition to the things Phinney always advises - plenty of water, lots of sodium (salt), and potassium (her recommends home made bone broth), and magnesium - some people going onto a ketogenic diet will encounter other issues.
Dr. Phinney would probably have advised not to do too much intermittent fasting, and would also have asked about clarification on how you were doing that.
Uric acid levels usually come from a damaged liver, which is often the result of too much sugar, especially fructose, (or, presumably, too much alcohol).
Another issue often overlooked is oxalate crystals. These come from plants. Rhubarb leaves are so high in oxalates that they are considered toxic, and can kill people pretty quickly. A guy not long ago reportedly died from eating a bowl of sorrel soup. Grains also contain oxalates, and spinach and curly leaf kale are high in it. So are many other commonly eaten plants.
Oxalate crystals are most commonly associated with kidney stones, but they can appear in any part of the body, and cause a lot of damage. Apparently when we switch to a keto diet, we can experience symptoms for the first time. See 'Lost Seasonality and the Overconsumption of Plants- Risking Oxalate Toxicity' here on TH-cam for info.
So smart.... thank you for sharing your knowledge!!!!
For anyone who is reasonably medically awake with ketosis being just one part of the puzzle I'm sure your ears pricked up when at 17:15 he mentioned ketoacidosis being the result of an autoimmune disease of the pancreas.
We all know that autoimmune disease is one of the obfuscated medical terms for vaccine induced injury.
Aluminum adjuvants when injected into the body do not only exacerbate the immune response for the injected pathogen (inert or attenuated) but can and do also cause the immune system to react to the body's own DNA and cellular matter.
I look forward to part deux. Ty!
Funny i own that book but never realized That's the man who wrote it^^.
I feel so good on this diet, thank you!
Is the app out yet?
Would it be possible to activate automatic english subtitle? Thank you
The picture behind you, is that Paul and Barb Stitt from Natural Ovens in Wisconsin?
Vitamin D increases insulin sensitivity! As well as a low carb, high good fat, low protein diet.
I am a type 2 diabetic on insulin long-term and short-term. Is there any curriculum anywhere that I can find to help me on my journey to a healthy keto diet? I have purchased your book but have not yet received it so I don't know what's in it. I keep hearing over and over that this is almost impossible for me because I'm diabetic? Can you help, help, help, please
Been keto for three weeks and already see pain decrease. Don’t know about weight because lost my scale in CA fire. Noticed my musical abilities have peaked too!

Great video as always. Is part 2 available or will be soon? Thank you so much!
Thanks for your support. Part 2 will be released this coming weekend.
Awesome video, love keto!
No one answers me!! Does the ketogenic diet (in a fully adapted after a period like 6 months of training and very carefully to the quality of foods) will improve the performance of distance runners below the marathon like (5km-10km)?
Nobody respons I need the answer!!
Nobody:
1- Virta team
2- Dr Berg
3- Thomas Delaware
No one have read my inquiry did answer me.
even if there is an app, will people stick to it? how expensive will it be to take blood sugar and ketone measurements?
You ask a lot of questions that if you took a few minutes could get answers for? Blood glucose monitoring diet cheap today via Walmart and ketone measurements by breath is not to e pensive by blood only expensive if you measure several times a day which is not needed...
Poland prices glucose blood under 20 cents a test, ketone blood test about 3-5 $ a test
You really don't NEED to test your ketones.
If you don't mind me asking. When will part 2 be uploaded?
Part 2 will be released this coming weekend.
I have wondered every since I started LCHF/Keto why others don't back it up for just the Health affects .. Yes grains are where the money is only those are the cheapest foods too . Well I should also say easiest to prepare and eat . Being 3 years on my Keto journey what I hear the most is I can't afford those foods or I don't have time to cook them from scratch . Toss a sandwich or frozen pizza at the family and call it a meal -- Very Sad :( Not sure if I would of been able price wise or willing to do it for my family of 4 either . If I hadn't been single I may of never tried .... Sure am Happy I did !!!
Don't be afraid to include IF and extended Fasting as this works well and you need to get your data updated!
What about cycling in and out of ketosis, is this recommended? I'm scared to stay in ketosis long term..lol.
Sharee Walls I’m considering doing this. I’ve been keto about 3 weeks and when I prepare fruit for my kids I can feel my body begging for some of it. I’m not sure how I’m going to set up my cycle but i def think for nutrient status it’s a must eventually. Maybe I’ll do 3 days on, 4 days off, or one week on and one week off. I’ll do paleo on my days off.
When is Part 2 coming?
Part 2 will be released this coming weekend.
would like to see more grand rounds by Dr. Phinney.. 2021 please
@ 41:10 Dr. Phinney believes in the old "Calories IN, Calories OUT" theory ?... Weird.
I'm a believer in LCHF but why bother with a LCHF diet if it's all about calories ? ;)
I'm very surprised at Steven saying this because many experts & Doctors in the LCHF world agree that calories mean nothing.
+David Lomm Whats the belief behind your theory if calories dont matter?
Do lean people get thinner and thinner on keto until they vanish?
Do these experts present evidence? e.g. an average person with TDEE of lets say 2500kcal, eating 5000kcal HCLF and still losing weight?
As far as I know keto helps greatly with hunger control and satiety. Thats why they all usually say "eat until full". If you eat way more calories, e.g. because of stress or while watching TV, then you wont lose weight.
Also there are other benefits of keto...
I think there may be some justification to still consider calories in versus calories out. Because it seems that if you're in ketosis but eating over your Daily Recommended Amount of calories you are for some reason more likely to have high blood sugar (@31:19), develop diabetes (physiological insulin resistance) & increase LDL cholesterol. While if you do the same ketogenic diet, eating below your RDA of calories you are more likely to reduce your bad cholesterol & avoid the risk of developing diabetes. The best option I can see then for avoiding diabetes on a low carb diet, is probably to switch over to a non ketogenic low carb diet, like Paleo when you no longer need to lose any weight & only need to maintain your current weight. So maybe going from a 20g net carb Keto diet to 90g net carb Paleo diet (via increased fruits & vegetables).
David Lomm you still need a calorie deficit to make your body burn it's own fat. If your goal is to lose weight But if your body is not adapted to burning fat then those endogenous calories won't be readily available. You don't need to calorie count if you eat high fat, it's hard to over eat past satiety with fat.
It's not my theory & I can't remember which Doctor spoke of it but a calorie deficit is starvation,... The math was also reversed to show that if a 45 year old man has gained 40 pounds in 20 years since he was 25 (which is common) then he need only NOT burn 21 calories a day to get that result,... Just 21 calories a day in surplus !
That's 1% or less of your daily intake which could easily be incorrect calorie counting.
So, you either screw up by 21 calories a day & end up 40 pounds fatter or your starving yourself ?
If you look at "Calories in & out" & consider how a calorie is measured, the "In vs Out" theory is more thermodynamics than Biology isn't it ?
I think the success of a Keto or LCHF diet supports this because 70% of your diet as fat is a high calorie diet because fat has twice the calories as protein or carbs.
Any thoughts ?
I'm not so sure & if you're interested you can read my reply to another comment below :)
Excellent lecture but whoever framed the shot with a two people poster in the background needs to have a chat with themselves!
Talk about a cliff-hanger. I really wanted to hear his thoughts on IF... Part 2?

Awesome name and you have a lot of sisu to go against the grain of standard care weight loss and diabetic care. A fellow Finn.
Dr.Phinney deeply appreciate this video and the others very good speaker want buy your book i have a slow metabolism & don't want to lose muscle can you help me to improve my metabolism. Thanks so very very much.
Love this
While I love Phinney my mind screams that we are still going about this all wrong.The world must re-engineer the foods that are easy to produce and most of the world would love to be able to eat without ill effects.This food is carbohydrate based food.If we altered a large part of present day carb foods in a bad way we should now start altering them into more healthful options.
Ideally, the world would stop getting in the way of people providing for themselves. Real food, not processed food-like products. Or support those locally who are producing real food. It is not difficult. It can be fun!
An example: it is easy to make ice cream at home, ideally from 100% grassfed milk fro Jersey or other cows that produce high butterfat milk, preferably unprocessed. The milk we get is 5% butterfat. Sometimes we add more cream. Sometimes we add pastured egg yolks from a local source. Add in cocoa powder, or melted 95%+ cacao chocoalte, or a bit of vanilla, or whatever low to no sugar flavor one likes. Bits like nuts or high cocoa chocolate have to be stirred in at the end. Sometimes we add a couple drops per cup of good stevia extract - but once we got off sugar, we find this milk so delicious we often don't need to add any sweetener. Voila! A tasty, refreshing creamy treat that is healthful! We find this far more refreshing than the overly sweet and candy laden junk sold commercially. (Note: this ice cream is CREAMY, not sticky or gummy. Those processed additives, like guar gum, locust bean gum, and carageenan are added to 'ice cream' so they can reduce the cream content and it will still be thick.
A grain-based diet did not exist anywhere until approximately 10,000 years ago - at the dawn of so-called civilization, when certain societies switched from egalitarian and more-or-less in balance with the ecosystems they live in, to stratified societies that concentrated power in the hands of a few, and exploited both people and ecological resources to achieve and maintain that power. We call the first type of society 'primitive', and the second type 'advanced'.
Not all 'carbs' are bad, of course. Eating non-starchy vegetables can be healthy. Low-sugar fruits, in moderation, can also be healthy additions to our diets. (Let's not forget that most fruit sold today is MASSIVELY higher in sugar than their wild ancestors. And, fruit was generally not available 24/7 to most people until very recently.)
In addition to starch, grains have anti-nutritional factors that can be a problem when consumed in quantity over a long period of time. (Also, grains not grown organically are often sprayed with synthetic chemical herbicides when ripe as a 'harvest aid' or 'drydown agent'. This is done shortly before the grain is combined and sold, meaning that the residues of these toxins in foods made from this herbicide soaked grain can be shockingly high.
It can be done if the world sets out to do it IMO.Get rid of toxins and convert the glycemic value of these foods to be better.If we could change bread,pasta etc to be good for us then that is a step in right direction.
My body responded very favorably to a low glycemic diet many yrs back.Nowadays it does not work like it did when I was in my youth but the idea of this better foods still pops up in my mind.
Love your comment,... Grains are nutritionally worthless.
It's easy to change bread to be good for you. I've done it before. You just put it in the bin and replace it with buttered sprouts, steamed in a microwave. However, I miss the "food-handle" aspects of bread and it's ability to soak up masses of butter and meat juices - the latter soaking-up properties I don't need because of my lifestyle (I don't carry heavy items back and forth across town all day for a living like I might have done 200 -> 2000 years ago), but the edible food-handle property is still useful and it's a nuisance not having it.
You can't make better food, nature already has the best food. We are adapted to it. Those who think they can create a better version of nature will suffer by nature.
Great video, thank you.
Fantastic
Anybody reversed diabetic retinopathy on keto diet?
Thanks for this.
A recent discovery on diet research: you should eat much more complex carbs, all types of fruits and pulses. And you should minimize animal products. Keep up the good work.
A more recent study shows that all plants produce poisons to prevent being eaten. You should minimize carbohydrate products and eat only pure healthy meat.
Interested in the low carb and FM aspect 🤔😬 #colormecurious

2:25 -- Exercise does not mean going to a gym or running or biking or lifting weights in a structured way. You body, your heart, does NOT care if you are in a gym OR just working in the garden or shop or anywhere else. Your body sees all this as exercise. Git that into your brain, OK? lol
Lots of details here on the subject .. I don't think knowing all these details are needed, ESP for me. I get few CARBS, no processed foods, 2 meals a day and have reaped benefits I will not bore you with. No calories counting, just eat as I desire, mostly VEGGYs, low fruit, and eat butter, cheese as desired along with chicken, pork, beef ... Am I in this ketos? I don't know and don't care. My body seems AOK for a 64 yr old and no I do not do or do I wanna do a black diamond ...
I think the name of T2 Diabetes should be changed BACK to "Sugar Diabetes ." Knowledge is power.
Count me in for the dietary prison as long as I can be on the LCHF diet!
And have access to the Internet. :-)
I still don't understand how keto is better when it is not our default setting?
We see that people in extremely cold climates would naturally have a high-fat diet, but man originated in tropical zones; forests were probably our first and primary habitat and carbs would have been our primary source of energy.
um, Africans have lower type 2 diabetes... note I said Africans, not African Americans who are liekly 'mixed' original and not originally native to Africa the last 500+ years. Any human with Neanderthal gene explore (Caucasian and Asians) are likely to be insulin resistant. Geography and native diet do directly impact ability to process food as energy .. you were unlikely to eat an apple everyday in Sweden, but likkly to eat fresh fish and salt cured fish...
The animals would get to the fruit before us. That's why we eat the animals.
Dr Jason Fung says the protein from ketosis comes from cartilage, flab, and damaged proteins via aurophagy. Hence, for fibromyalgia the best bet is fasting to trigger aurophagy, from intermittent on up to longer fasts. Drop the hate for fasting. Find a middle ground at least. Your credibility is henged on keeping up with current events.
10:12: 70% F | 20% P | 10% C
Protein 1.2-1.6g per kg
Carbs 30g for first 3 months
Upto 45g once you are fully fat apadted
Fat, eat what you need to either maintain or loose weight.

Under what circumstances in nature would humans have had ketogenic diets? The closest I can think of is eskimos, and their health is crap.
A priori, known science excluded, one could argue that a ketogenic diet might work. But given what we know about the consequences of fats on the arteries, ketogenic diets make no sense. Switch from sugars to produce, so you avoid the deadly side effects of keto diets.
Many aboriginal populations throughout history were studied prior to the 1950s for their incredibly low to non-existent rates of diabetes, cancer, and heart disease; such as the Maasai in East Africa, the Pima Indians in South-western U.S., the Inuit in the arctic, etc. Only when these populations were introduced to sugar and white flour did their health outcomes start to resemble people eating a "western diet".
Also, most of these people were most definitely in fasting ketosis and they had better health outcomes prior to the introduction of refined carbohydrates. If Ketosis were dangerous, humans would have never made it through natural selection.
I've seen debunking of those Inuit and Maasai claims (plus, why should we be looking to short-lived populations for dietary guidance? there's much more to learn from blue zones.) As for the Pima, I'm sure ample soda, sugar, and oil contribute to their obesity, but I don't see on what basis one excludes the influence of the enormous increase in animal foods they have no doubt added to their diets.
"If Ketosis were dangerous, humans would have never made it through natural selection."
Seems to me this is conflating 1. "lack of food ketosis" (i.e., fasting, no carbs or food at all) with 2. fat and protein ketosis (atkins-style carb exclusion only). They're not the same. With Option 2, though there's often a health-related benefit from the weight loss due to lower calorie intake, that's offset by the cardiovascular disease and cancer one would otherwise avoid if eating an unrefined plant-based diet.
You called Keto diets deadly. Provided no evidence, and then conflated post-industrialization Inuit populations as having poor health, with pre-industrialization inuits known for their great health (being almost completely in a state of ketosis). Again, you don't have the evidence to back your assertions.
Here. Table 2. www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0735109705003670 and www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2989112/ and I'm sure there are many, many more. The CVD burden of keto diets abounds in the literature.
Btw, I think the burden of proof is on the keto diets. The null hypothesis, based on nutritional consensus, in turn based on scientific evidence, is in favor of diets with high produce content; the consensus also is that cholesterol and saturated fat lead to disease. There is no tolerable upper limit for these substances - any amount of them increases your CVD risk.
Is there a benefit to keto? Sure, if you're obese and it reduces your calorie intake.
That's not really the question that need be answered, however. We're in search of the healthiest diet, not one that is marginally better than SAD.
So...is there a benefit to Atkins-style keto to an ideal weight plant-based eater? Nope. CVD and cancer risk factors would shoot up within a week or two of such a dietary change.
Atkins himself had advanced CVD and was overweight, despite decades of flogging (and presumably eating) his nonsense approach. Not that a data point of 1 proves anything.
You don't understand what you just linked to me. All the RCTs in this summary show a low carb diet increases HDL and decreases triglycerides. A low HDL to triglyceride ratio is an indication of CVD, and the RCTs for low carb diets showed the oppposite, having much better HDL to tryglyceride ratios. So where is your evidence that low-carb or keto gives you CVD or increased cancer risk?
It's "abound in the literature" but you can't link one that shows worse CVD risk outcomes for low-carb/keto
Also, the burden of proof is on the person making the claim. Which was you. You claimed keto was deadly, and you still haven't shown that is the case.
if I'm insulin resistant, why is my fat sensitive to insulin?
why are my cells resistant but my fat cells are sensitive to insulin? you haven't answered the question
Eat more plantbased, avoid any meat
Insulin resistance in most cases means you have too much insulin all the time. The insulin can't shove the sugar into your cells anymore because they are already full of sugar. When this happens the sugar is stored as fat. Type II diabetes meds make your cells more sensitive to insulin, or you are actually given more insulin. That forces more sugar into your cells, like stomping garbage into an already full trash bag. The answer isn't to stuff more sugar into your cells, it is to reduce the amount of sugar in your body.
