This month I turn 78, I have been on the Ketogenic diet for one year on June 13. I have lost 34 pound, no longer use Insulin, lost 10 inches of my waist, my chronic low back pain gone! my high blood pressure gone, I feel so much better, to loose weight being a diabetic 2 on insulin and a female is almost imposible. I also follow Intermittent fasting for 16 hours daily, plus I am never hungry.
This is so true. I switched over to a high fat high protein diet and got jacked as hell. When I was Vegan I lost two teeth, skinny, and no libido. Take it as it is.
I lost 35 lbs by eating LCHF diet. I don't count calories and I don't feel hungry. I eat only meat, fat, and low-carb vegetables. I came across the concept of LCHF and I feel so blessed.
this is the most coherent and well explained video on a ketogenic diet I have seen on RUclips thus far. I have been on this diet for nearly a year now eating predominantly saturated animal fats I had severe type 2 diabetes and in January this year was 18 stones in weight I have so far lost 38 kg which in English lbs is 84 lbs my diabetes has completely gone I have lost a massive 10 inches of my weight never done any exercise and now look like I go down the gym which I do not and at the age of 54 I consider an excellent achievement I no longer have to take diabetic medication( metformin) and my blood pressure is now better than normal I had severe cramps in my legs due to blocking of the arteries blood flow and also the onset of peripheral neuropathy losing the feeling in my feet and lower legs this has now been completely reversed I thoroughly recommend this diet to anyone the guy in this video is speaking the absolute truth!!!
I have just started my LCHF program, I am 54, I was tired of being tired, of being overweight, when I started my withdrawal from sugar was the worst, I have given up beer, breads, pastas etc oh and potatoes, I was 145kg, dropped 5kg in 2 weeks once I went onto a Keto program, dropped the margerine and replaced it with 'FATS' butter, cheese, high fat meats, offal (liver etc) and I feel like I have been reborn............ I can even walk for fun now, I just cried when I listened to this Dr.
Good stuff my friend. I'm down 50.lbs in 11 weeks. My doctor (dumb idiot) said my chlorestal is too high we need to put you on statins. I laughed and educated her. People who have high cholesterol and low carb intake live longer. Fact!!!!
You are so right about this speech! I am gluten FREE, High Fat(ONLY saturated FAT, no bottle) & low carb/protiens. Every morning I feels great, healthy indigestion, never get sick in the winter (no flu shot here), I was diagnose w/acute gastitis, psoriasis, Eczema...my internal was INFAMMED! Doctors keep giving me creams and prescip. meds., theres even a GI doctor waiting for me to have surgery!! I changed my diet and it cures all...seriously!
Passionate man speaking from the heart (&snacked up by science) about lchf. Loved his evolution comments & that if we need a machine to harvest, refine, etc grains before we eat them then maybe they are not the natural food source that we are led o believe they are.
+Robin Willcourt Dr.Willcourt It is so hard to convince the people. Unfortunately the unhealthy way of dieting had become like a dogma, so hard to convince them to change to the healthy lchf diet
Hi, I have had the pleasure of being a patient of Robin’s, his wealth of knowledge is mind blowing. Sadly Robin left Australia due to it's narrow mindedness and complete lack of understanding, instead of listening to new innovative ideas Australians have chosen instead to be brain washed by large pharmaceutical companies. Robin has now moved to the USA, I miss our chats and his knowledge. I have been to other epigenetic specialists in Melbourne and I can't find anyone as good as Robin. If anyone knows of one please let me know. I wish you all the best Robin.
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this vid - I've lost 8KG's by eating fats protein and veges (I reduced carbs to roughly 20>40 grms per day). Started off with me simply experimenting. I'm excited to see what I will be like after 3 more months.
Great Video clip! Excuse me for the intrusion, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you ever tried - Dinanlinson Elegant Figure Approach (do a google search)? It is an awesome one off guide for uncovering the secrets behind a highly effective low carb diet without the headache. Ive heard some super things about it and my friend Sam after many years got astronomical success with it.
amazing information , I been doing LCHF for the last week and everything is going amazing I am energetic , feel healthy ,feel diff thanks for the info 👍
Doc you are so right, cortisol rises in the morning to get us going for the hunt, and cortisol is much lower just after 11 as we are just about to get our first natural meal for the day. How disconnected are modern humans from their own physiology, that we now eat a whole lot of sugar when we get up and spike our insulin/IGF1 and cortisol, and wonder why we feel like crap after an hour of eating this way.
Thank you for standing up telling the truth. These people at the top know it and hide it from us in order to fill up their pockets. May God bless you and give you the wisdom to continue the excellent work that you do. 🙏
Thank you for sharing this! I have been on the path to leaving lifestyle for about 7 years now. I have been trying the High fat diet for about 2 weeks now and I feel amazing! I am getting so lean it's almost unreal!! Thanks again for sharing your WISDOM.
Thank you spreading this good information. I started Keto 5 weeks ago and I feel amazing. Although, it kind of pisses me off that this way of eating wasn't suggested after I was eating 1000 calories and exercising regularly and kept gaining weight all my life. I now suggest this to all my friends, family, and patients.
Angel Kennemer I also went through that nightmare for decades. I have been low carb for 6 years and my health just keeps getting better. I can do things now that I could not do 40 years ago. Also, it's great not being hungry all the time.
Actually study on rabbits was by Russians. Keys did the famous (rather infamous) 7 country study, he also advocated Mediterranean Diet and lived just shy of 101 years.. Low carb diets work like a charm. Dr Jason Fung has great videos with backed by scientific papers. It's all about the insulin.
Follow the funding. It's pretty easy to see why they say that. Besides, doctors aren't dieticians. Doctors aren't in the business of prevention. They are in the business of prescribing. Two very different things!
Thank you Dr. Robin Willcourt, what you said is the truth and nothing but the truth, we have had it being misled and misdirected about what is good for us by some of those in positions of major influence including Governments, Doctors, Nutritionists, Food manufacturers and the Medical and Pharmaceutical industries. I am a Chinese Singaporean , age 81 years old, living in the Republic of Singapore, which is my homeland.
Wow !! what passion..Thank you sir for your compassion for your fellow human...and how evil humans can be while rubbing their hands..you have opened my eyes...I don't understand how this hasn't got millions of views.
Let's discuss triglycerides (TGs)- DIETARY TGs do not cause any harm, it is the TGs transported in the blood stream that are associated with increased risk of heart disease but that does not mean TGs cause heart disease (CVD). It may simply be a reflection of an abnormal fat metabolism that is then intimately associated -or even causative. A high BLOOD TG level needs to be addressed. LCHF lowers TG very well for most people. On the cancer drug(s): cannabis is clearly in need of intensive investigation.
Dr. Willcourt, you're a Rockstar! There is no substitute for passion. Many thanks for mentioning Dr. Tim Noakes, I follow his suggestions for my diet; also will look for your book.
Great video and brilliant presentation! He drives straight to the point and shoots from the hip. We're so heavily brainwashed in the west when it comes to dietary advice.
I use TONS of fattening foods and pretty much eliminated all Carbs and Sugar from my diet. I have a lot of Steak, Eggs, Butter, Coconut Oil and sometimes throw in Spinach or Avocados. I'm talking tons of food lol. I eat till im satisfied and I'm assuming Im taking in around 3000+ Calories a day or more if you add up the MCT Oil i consume. This is the first time ever that ive been under 10% Bodyfat. My strength in the gym is still good and my overall feeling is good. I can't imagine ever going back to Sugary Carb loaded foods, I just dont crave them anymore. I used to be a skinny kid since I played a lot of Basketball in High School and played non stop across different Parks here in NYC. When i began my career and then serious GF, I went from 160 to 270 pounds in 5 years. I felt sick and was probably close to a heart attack considering the amount of soda and pizza i was eating on a daily basis, along with Snicker Bars, Chips Ahoy Cookies, Bagels etc. When the shit hit the fan in my life, I went from 265 down to 160 and have been around 165 - 170 ever since. However my body fat was still lingering around 15%. Once i cut Carbs and Sugar, I maintain a
I've been on hflc diet for 3 years lost 120 lbs from 330 lbs to 220 lbs down to 10% body fat pre diabetes gone blood pressure perfect muscle mass ideal, health issues such as my hypertension and gout gone skin is clear testosterone levels are that of a 25 year old at 51 years old risk if cancer greatly diminished joint pain and inflammation are a thing of the past
Welcome to the club! I'm only 44 but follow the same hflc lifestyle along with some intermittent fasting and am loving the benefits. Want to throw in another benefit my friend? Try cold showers. I know it doesn't sound very inviting but here's the thing, the benefits are amazing. I haven't had a hot shower in 6 months and am loving every bit of it. Research it.
I have been on Keto since 2/1/17. I have not really lost weight nor inches (YET) but I am no longer on b.p. medicine, and my fasting glucose is now normal (pre-diabetic) I have my sister interested in the Keto woe, and found this video to send her. Explains a LOT of why we eat how we've been told to for 40 years! (we're both in our 60's) Thank you!
What he said about fat is true. They did a study where a few people ate 5000 calories of fat only per day and managed to lose weight. If you ate 5000 calories of carbs a day, you'd be obese.
Wrong , fat makes you fat . Fat has 9 calories to a gram protein and carbs have 4 . Look at the American diet lots of refined carbs but also lots of fat [ saturated] from animal meats[ red and pork] . What about all the study's [ Pritkin , Ornish] showing you can reverse heart disease going meatless[ red pork] . ? We were meant to live of the land [ plant based ] pure and simple whole grains fruit/ veg . There are exceptions to the rule, like people who live in extreme cold temp [ Eskimos] they need a high fat diet , but that's not you or me . Check out my site [ [foundation of nutrition the bible ] . Google it . What about the new study that just came out in Aug about the benefits of whole grains . How could something whole be bad .
Fat has 9 calories per gram , carbs and protein 4 . Fat makes you fat common sense . The American diet is high fat animal meats [ red and pork ] as well as high" refined" carbs white bread , pastries, candy bars etc .People are way overweight because they eat lots of red meat and pork . It's actually hard to become overweight if you abstain from animal meats .
Correction to the idea that dwarf wheat is genetically engineered or grown because it is easy to harvest. It's actually a hybrid of dwarf Japanese wheat called Norin 10 that predates genetic engineering and it has massively higher yield because the shorter stalks don't break when it's windy under a higher seed load.
the proof is in the body.. I have been eating LCHF for 4 months and will never go back to grain... or sugar. Feel better, look better and sleep better than I have since I was 25..
Since I started eating a high fat diet I'm no longer starving all the time. People say to eat more whole grain to stay fuller for longer, but this seems as a cheap substitute for fat.
Why isnt he lecturing this on a conference w keto people? This is so on point..esp triglycerides and HDL..which is supported by Dr Berry...great lecture💯❤
my focus and concentration pretty much increased about five fold after the start of intermittent fasting. I no longer feel sleepy after each meal and I feel more alert than on high carb diet. The downside for me is having only a 5-6 hour sleep at night instead of 8-10 hr sleep. I workout a lot too so my body composition improved noticeably (less abdominal fat) but I have not gained a lot of muscle even though I am on caloric surplus. I think I am still capable of gaining and / or maintaining my strength though.
Extremely informative and vital information!!!! I can't say enough about how completely blessed I personally feel having come across this video in my research today!!!!!!! Everything you were so passionately stating in your lecture I TOTALLY AGREE WITH 100%!!!!!!!!!! It is completely devastating what the grain and big pharmaceutical companies has done to the world knowingly so...... It is so interesting how they hold money to the highest level over everything else.... I am so very concerned for my grandchildren's health if the food industries don't make huge changes in the very near future. Our water is another huge health disaster that is rarely spoken of!!!! I am so very much appreciate your time and passion in getting the information to the masses... I feel confidence knowing I am at least doing the right things for my health and well-being.... I am currently on a ketogenic lifestyle eating plan, fasting, sole pink himalayan water, on and on....walking a little. I purchased a Bellicon rebounder as I have knee issues and feel it would be best to for cleaning out my lymphatic system. I feel so much better and the weight is melting off and my brain is firing off better than it has in years!!! Very refreshing and I feel great hope for myself and family now.... I know what I need to do now to get where I should have stayed weight wise 40 years ago...when the changes were starting in the food industries. I did put your book in my cart on Amazon for my next order. I do feel the title may confuse many people though. I also believe that people have been so brain-washed that they will refuse to accept the real truth of the matter!!!! Only by seeing lives of others dramatically changed will they become more open minded!!! God bless you Dr. Willcourt over and over! Keep up the teachings on this amazing world changing truth everyone single person deserves to know!!!! Warmest of hugs!!!! Pam
Just one small point The Hadza tribe love honey and very occasionally (not often) stuff themselves with it. Personally to perform explosive sports such as power lifting or sprinting I require cyclical macro nutrient profiles tailored to my current training. Although if wanting to loose weight, perform any endurance activity, maintain muscle mass/build slowly or just feel consistently energetic throughout the day I would want to be ketone adapted. 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs. Blood tests, electrolytes and quality sleep in the beginning are great ideas. Can be tough to adapt but its worth it!
I believe every word he said I recently was told by my doctor I had high cholesterol & wanted to put me on statins... I refused so glad I did now I'm keto & feel so much better... Its disgraceful how we have this knowledge now & still governments are not doing more
Great lecture! One easily accessible example of your thesis that better technology is opposed by the "health care industry" was the American Hospital Association's reaction to coated cardiac stents. The coating made them less likely to deteriorate, reducing the need for additional procedures to replace them. The AHA actually opposed their use since it would reduce hospital revenue, ignoring the cost and risk to patients.
What a passionate speaker. I am willing to try this. It makes sense listening to Mr. Willcourt. I want to get rid of my seborrheic dermatitis. I am going for the ketogenic approach.
I turned my entire life around 2 years ago. Im basically ketovore and i will only consume grassfed AND grass finished meats and pasture raised eggs. I consume one whole oranic lemon each day ( the entire lemon ) i make a smoothie of wild blueberries and lemon with one steam organic green . This man is absolutely correct . I do consume hydrolyzed collagen powder i hope thats not hurting my liver ??
Came here from Dr Willcourt's blog and features on low testosterone. Interesting video on Paleo. As a sport and exercise nutritionist my knowledge and recommendations for healthful living are nearly 180 degrees in opposition to the Drs. However, he mentioned some good stuff like the Omega 3s, HDL, (measured) amounts of saturated fats, and warned against wheats and other food items which I agree with. Many people have success with this lifestyle and I'm going to do further research instead of dismissing it. Cheers Dr.
When you think about it, if a rabbit develops cardiovascular disease as a result of eating cholesterol when that is not a part of its wild diet, it could be just as conceivable that humans fed grasses and grains (not a part of the wild human diet) might produce cardiovascular disease as well.
Amazingly informative and passionate talk. I stumbled on this information earlier this year and I wish I had earlier. Sadly I could find very little other videos with Dr. Willcourt in it on RUclips.
To all of you who have commented on my presentation, thank you for watching. We are in a perilous world with corrupt leadership dogging us in every part of our lives. Honest politicians are as rare as the dodo and in all quarters it is hard to discern the difference between honesty and hypocrisy in the advice and information that emanates from our leaders and institutions. I carry the theme of the video over into my book "Chasing Antelopes: Why All This Caused All That." Once we understand the reasons why we are flooded with bad advice, it becomes easier to fight back and change the course of our health and general well-being. Again, thanks to all of you for your time. And here's to a healthier life!
Thank you for this excellent presentation, Dr. Willcourt. You are *so* right, and it's people like yourself who are helping everybody else to realize how we've been brainwashed for so long. I followed the official dietary guidelines for decades and became a "hangry" food junkie/carboholic. Then I followed a vegetarian and later vegan lifestyle, combined with intermittent fasting, for a total of ten years, and I did manage to lose weight, but it felt like a constant uphill battle, and after a while I started having health issues due to a lack in certain nutrients. When I finally realized that my diet was getting me nowhere, I decided to give Keto a try, and I can honestly say that I've never felt better. It's great, and for me there is no turning back.
Robin Willcourt thank you .i totally agree there is a cure for cancer .my dad has pancreatic cancer and in the last six months i been to doctors with him and i can honestly say i have never been so disappointed with the medical industry its all about the money and they dont give a dam about the patient your just a number .thats the experience i have had anyways .i appreciate your honesty and looking out for our health .thank god there are still doctors out there that actually give a dam.
Read 'One Answer to Cancer' great book explaining B17 and other things to consider. When i had cancer I used apricot kernels paired with foods high in digestive enzymes along with a low calorie ketogenic diet, high in fermented foods and free from grain, anything processed or non-organic.
My body composition improved dramatically by counting calories and working out. But my diet was highest in carbs and lowest in fats. If I had to keep carbs that low, there is no way I can stick to the diet. Especially with it being apple season.
I understand where this guy is at. Many of us fully embraced the group-think phenomenon that saturated fat, and by extension all fat, was bad for you, particularly in the 1980s. It seemed to make sense. We reduced the animal product from our diets and made great efforts to reduce fat from the diet as well. And we made great efforts to reduce salt intake. We did this for 2 decades. Those that were health conscious and also avoiding sugar (such as myself) probably managed to stay relatively healthy, but certainly not in optimum condition. Now the truth is out. We lived this vigilant and austere existence to find out it was all about money and politics and it probably harmed our health anyway. And we've witnessed a human health disaster unfold in the process. You better believe there are a bunch of us that are hopping mad and want some accountability somewhere. I want the pharmaceutical industry reduced to rubble.
absolutely amazing. how do I get a family member who's currently taking blood pressure tablets to stop and endorse LCHF? Will the individual still need to take their medication whilst on LCHF?
Please include information about foods high in oxalic acid. Oxalate crystals are at the root cause of arthritic pain and many other conditions and need to be eliminated gradually from the body. Unfortunately many keto foods are high in oxalates.
My husband has stopped eating carbs. Only eats green vegetables, avocados, pecans, and fatty cuts of meat once a day. He’s down 18 pounds in 3 weeks. He feels great and has no cravings for sugars .
This month I turn 78, I have been on the Ketogenic diet for one year on June 13. I have lost 34 pound, no longer use Insulin, lost 10 inches of my waist, my chronic low back pain gone! my high blood pressure gone, I feel so much better, to loose weight being a diabetic 2 on insulin and a female is almost imposible.

You feel good even with skipping breakfast?
Great
Breakfast is very important Jn 21 : 12 , 13 [ Niv] bible .
Uh, what the heck are you talking about? Decided to fact check, and there is no Jonah, chapter 21. It's a quite short book. Care to try again?
You are apparently just spouting crap and must be merely a troll, for whatever reason.
This is so true. I switched over to a high fat high protein diet and got jacked as hell.
When I was Vegan I lost two teeth, skinny, and no libido. Take it as it is.
I lost 35 lbs by eating LCHF diet. I don't count calories and I don't feel hungry. I eat only meat, fat, and low-carb vegetables. I came across the concept of LCHF and I feel so blessed.

T W i eat that way also. Brain fog and anxiety are 100% gone.

This should actually be a TED talk. Very nicely explained. Most of the facts I already knew from the book "Low Carb High Fat Food Revolution"
Passionate man speaking from the heart (&snacked up by science) about lchf. Loved his evolution comments & that if we need a machine to harvest, refine, etc grains before we eat them then maybe they are not the natural food source that we are led o believe they are.

I believe everything he says from sheer experience. It's a miracle that I've learned this at such a young age and wish to become a dietitian
Good for your Dick Russell. I also learned this at a young age (25).

Low carb diets work like a charm.
Dr Jason Fung has great videos with backed by scientific papers. It's all about the insulin.
I do get annoyed when the doctors have been telling us for years to not eat fat to be healthy.
Follow the funding. It's pretty easy to see why they say that. Besides, doctors aren't dieticians. Doctors aren't in the business of prevention. They are in the business of prescribing. Two very different things!
Excessive fat is still not good for your heart, especially for women.

I know it doesn't sound very inviting but here's the thing, the benefits are amazing. I haven't had a hot shower in 6 months and am loving every bit of it. Research it.
Michael Every time I try a cold shower, I bitch out lol. I’m so weak.
Genius, great video
I have been on Keto since 2/1/17. I have not really lost weight nor inches (YET) but I am no longer on b.p. medicine, and my fasting glucose is now normal (pre-diabetic) I have my sister interested in the Keto woe, and found this video to send her. Explains a LOT of why we eat how we've been told to for 40 years! (we're both in our 60's) Thank you!
What he said about fat is true. They did a study where a few people ate 5000 calories of fat only per day and managed to lose weight. If you ate 5000 calories of carbs a day, you'd be obese.
Wrong , fat makes you fat . Fat has 9 calories to a gram protein and carbs have 4 . Look at the American diet lots of refined carbs but also lots of fat [ saturated] from animal meats[ red and pork] . What about all the study's [ Pritkin , Ornish] showing you can reverse heart disease going meatless[ red pork] . ? We were meant to live of the land [ plant based ] pure and simple whole grains fruit/ veg . There are exceptions to the rule, like people who live in extreme cold temp [ Eskimos] they need a high fat diet , but that's not you or me . Check out my site [ [foundation of nutrition the bible ] . Google it . What about the new study that just came out in Aug about the benefits of whole grains . How could something whole be bad .
bible bill Im seriously not gonna read that ....
Why?. Read what , not sure what you mean .
Pls inform yourself first, before posting any comments.
Fat has 9 calories per gram , carbs and protein 4 . Fat makes you fat common sense . The American diet is high fat animal meats [ red and pork ] as well as high" refined" carbs white bread , pastries, candy bars etc .People are way overweight because they eat lots of red meat and pork . It's actually hard to become overweight if you abstain from animal meats .
One of the best talks I have ever heard. Well done 👍
Correction to the idea that dwarf wheat is genetically engineered or grown because it is easy to harvest. It's actually a hybrid of dwarf Japanese wheat called Norin 10 that predates genetic engineering and it has massively higher yield because the shorter stalks don't break when it's windy under a higher seed load.
But if it is a "hybrid", doesn't that meant that he is correct in stating that it is genetically engineered?
The best I've seen yet on this subject. Love the straight forward no bullshit approach.
the proof is in the body.. I have been eating LCHF for 4 months and will never go back to grain... or sugar. Feel better, look better and sleep better than I have since I was 25..
freeyoga no one knows how old you are
Dr Wilcourt, I love you man you make sense, you speak plain and you know the facts of commerce being used to kill us.
Good video, makes sense. Thanks !
Since I started eating a high fat diet I'm no longer starving all the time. People say to eat more whole grain to stay fuller for longer, but this seems as a cheap substitute for fat.
Soo true Daniel. Another good presentation is " diet health and the wisdom of crowds"
Why isnt he lecturing this on a conference w keto people? This is so on point..esp triglycerides and HDL..which is supported by Dr Berry...great lecture💯❤
This is the most amazing presentation!!!
Wow very informative, thanks doc.
my focus and concentration pretty much increased about five fold after the start of intermittent fasting. I no longer feel sleepy after each meal and I feel more alert than on high carb diet. The downside for me is having only a 5-6 hour sleep at night instead of 8-10 hr sleep. I workout a lot too so my body composition improved noticeably (less abdominal fat) but I have not gained a lot of muscle even though I am on caloric surplus. I think I am still capable of gaining and / or maintaining my strength though.
Extremely informative and vital information!!!! I can't say enough about how completely blessed I personally feel having come across this video in my research today!!!!!!! Everything you were so passionately stating in your lecture I TOTALLY AGREE WITH 100%!!!!!!!!!! It is completely devastating what the grain and big pharmaceutical companies has done to the world knowingly so...... It is so interesting how they hold money to the highest level over everything else.... I am so very concerned for my grandchildren's health if the food industries don't make huge changes in the very near future. Our water is another huge health disaster that is rarely spoken of!!!!
I am so very much appreciate your time and passion in getting the information to the masses... I feel confidence knowing I am at least doing the right things for my health and well-being.... I am currently on a ketogenic lifestyle eating plan, fasting, sole pink himalayan water, on and on....walking a little. I purchased a Bellicon rebounder as I have knee issues and feel it would be best to for cleaning out my lymphatic system. I feel so much better and the weight is melting off and my brain is firing off better than it has in years!!! Very refreshing and I feel great hope for myself and family now.... I know what I need to do now to get where I should have stayed weight wise 40 years ago...when the changes were starting in the food industries.
I did put your book in my cart on Amazon for my next order. I do feel the title may confuse many people though. I also believe that people have been so brain-washed that they will refuse to accept the real truth of the matter!!!! Only by seeing lives of others dramatically changed will they become more open minded!!!
God bless you Dr. Willcourt over and over! Keep up the teachings on this amazing world changing truth everyone single person deserves to know!!!! Warmest of hugs!!!! Pam
Thank you sir! Amazing LIFE SAVING info. We need more like you! Best wishes to you.
Just one small point The Hadza tribe love honey and very occasionally (not often) stuff themselves with it. Personally to perform explosive sports such as power lifting or sprinting I require cyclical macro nutrient profiles tailored to my current training. Although if wanting to loose weight, perform any endurance activity, maintain muscle mass/build slowly or just feel consistently energetic throughout the day I would want to be ketone adapted. 75% fat, 20% protein, 5% carbs. Blood tests, electrolytes and quality sleep in the beginning are great ideas. Can be tough to adapt but its worth it!
I believe every word he said I recently was told by my doctor I had high cholesterol & wanted to put me on statins... I refused so glad I did now I'm keto & feel so much better... Its disgraceful how we have this knowledge now & still governments are not doing more
Bravo bravo you are very right
That's the problem! Gov't!
Great lecture! One easily accessible example of your thesis that better technology is opposed by the "health care industry" was the American Hospital Association's reaction to coated cardiac stents. The coating made them less likely to deteriorate, reducing the need for additional procedures to replace them. The AHA actually opposed their use since it would reduce hospital revenue, ignoring the cost and risk to patients.
Great lecture Dr. Willcourt
What a passionate speaker. I am willing to try this. It makes sense listening to Mr. Willcourt. I want to get rid of my seborrheic dermatitis. I am going for the ketogenic approach.
Very interesting and helpful
I turned my entire life around 2 years ago. Im basically ketovore and i will only consume grassfed AND grass finished meats and pasture raised eggs. I consume one whole oranic lemon each day ( the entire lemon ) i make a smoothie of wild blueberries and lemon with one steam organic green . This man is absolutely correct . I do consume hydrolyzed collagen powder i hope thats not hurting my liver ??
Came here from Dr Willcourt's blog and features on low testosterone. Interesting video on Paleo. As a sport and exercise nutritionist my knowledge and recommendations for healthful living are nearly 180 degrees in opposition to the Drs. However, he mentioned some good stuff like the Omega 3s, HDL, (measured) amounts of saturated fats, and warned against wheats and other food items which I agree with.
Many people have success with this lifestyle and I'm going to do further research instead of dismissing it. Cheers Dr.
When you think about it, if a rabbit develops cardiovascular disease as a result of eating cholesterol when that is not a part of its wild diet, it could be just as conceivable that humans fed grasses and grains (not a part of the wild human diet) might produce cardiovascular disease as well.
Great flow of information including all the major aspects of the LCHF and current misconceptions
Amazingly informative and passionate talk. I stumbled on this information earlier this year and I wish I had earlier. Sadly I could find very little other videos with Dr. Willcourt in it on RUclips.
Please do a lengthy presentation/lecture on these subjects..we need knowledge and research available on youtube.
To all of you who have commented on my presentation, thank you for watching. We are in a perilous world with corrupt leadership dogging us in every part of our lives. Honest politicians are as rare as the dodo and in all quarters it is hard to discern the difference between honesty and hypocrisy in the advice and information that emanates from our leaders and institutions. I carry the theme of the video over into my book "Chasing Antelopes: Why All This Caused All That."
Once we understand the reasons why we are flooded with bad advice, it becomes easier to fight back and change the course of our health and general well-being. Again, thanks to all of you for your time. And here's to a healthier life!
Thank you for this excellent presentation, Dr. Willcourt. You are *so* right, and it's people like yourself who are helping everybody else to realize how we've been brainwashed for so long. I followed the official dietary guidelines for decades and became a "hangry" food junkie/carboholic. Then I followed a vegetarian and later vegan lifestyle, combined with intermittent fasting, for a total of ten years, and I did manage to lose weight, but it felt like a constant uphill battle, and after a while I started having health issues due to a lack in certain nutrients. When I finally realized that my diet was getting me nowhere, I decided to give Keto a try, and I can honestly say that I've never felt better. It's great, and for me there is no turning back.
Robin Willcourt thank you .i totally agree there is a cure for cancer .my dad has pancreatic cancer and in the last six months i been to doctors with him and i can honestly say i have never been so disappointed with the medical industry its all about the money and they dont give a dam about the patient your just a number .thats the experience i have had anyways .i appreciate your honesty and looking out for our health .thank god there are still doctors out there that actually give a dam.
Robin Willcourt I'm just starting a high fat low carb diet, your video has opened my eyes
Robin Willcourt sir, since i am vegitarian, would you please suggest a diet plan for me?
Robin Willcourt much respect thank you for your presentation we need people like you in politics.. Best wishes from Ireland
100% true!! speaking from experience :)
I believe a lot of what you say...I just hope to God you’re right
Legend. Thanks Dr Willcourt.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH DR WILLCOURT
8:35, what is this substance? Cannabis?
Cara Institute of Advanced Hypnosis it does not cure cancer. you are ignorant
Yes. Cannabis oil. It absolutely is a cure.
Low carb high fat has changed my life. Funniest part? I'm actually eating more veggies now than before! (Broccoli, asparagus, leafy greens, etc)
Thank you for this information...I will share with everyone...
Please reference the published papers regarding the anti-cancer substance .
+belgianquill did you find out what the drug was that he was talking about?
I've asked a similar question. What is the substance? We can then find the papers.
Could it be Laetrile? Vitamin B17? Frankly, if it's not natural and local you probably don't need it for a healthy life.
I don't know what he was talking about, but maybe www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22382780
3-bromopyruvate or 3-Bromopyruvic acid.
Read 'One Answer to Cancer' great book explaining B17 and other things to consider. When i had cancer I used apricot kernels paired with foods high in digestive enzymes along with a low calorie ketogenic diet, high in fermented foods and free from grain, anything processed or non-organic.
My body composition improved dramatically by counting calories and working out. But my diet was highest in carbs and lowest in fats. If I had to keep carbs that low, there is no way I can stick to the diet. Especially with it being apple season.
I understand where this guy is at. Many of us fully embraced the group-think phenomenon that saturated fat, and by extension all fat, was bad for you, particularly in the 1980s. It seemed to make sense. We reduced the animal product from our diets and made great efforts to reduce fat from the diet as well. And we made great efforts to reduce salt intake. We did this for 2 decades. Those that were health conscious and also avoiding sugar (such as myself) probably managed to stay relatively healthy, but certainly not in optimum condition.
Now the truth is out. We lived this vigilant and austere existence to find out it was all about money and politics and it probably harmed our health anyway. And we've witnessed a human health disaster unfold in the process. You better believe there are a bunch of us that are hopping mad and want some accountability somewhere. I want the pharmaceutical industry reduced to rubble.
absolutely amazing.
how do I get a family member who's currently taking blood pressure tablets to stop and endorse LCHF? Will the individual still need to take their medication whilst on LCHF?
Amazing talk. Thank you!
Brilliant lecture Sir! well communicated.
Excellent video. Thank you!
Very good. I like very much your sincerity
Thank you
Love it!!! Absolutely love it!
great talk
I do agree wheat today is not the same as it was,so that is making problems,but wheat that was eaten 2000 yrs ago was healthy and natural
Someone saw this video and went from their high carb diet to a carnivore diet. Happy World Carnivore Month!
Travis Statham Carnivore 2020
You are legend! Thank you thank you.
Great lecture!
thanks for the info, liked it!! as a side note, veganism is ethical for most.
Fantastic.
Hello Lucille
India is getting sick also because of switching to vegetable oil (Soy, Canola) instead of Coconut Oil :(
There's no difference (barely). Avoid both.
@op am there certainty is a difference between them. Vegetable oil is high in omega 6. Research what omega 6 does to the human body.
Sickening Ments
Yeah,... Huge difference & Omega 6 isn't pretty
:(
Ok' maybe there's a difference but both are far from healthy.
coconut is good, coconut oil is process shit. They use hexane to extract the oil. Hexane is healthy?
Excellent video !
Wow this was so enlightening.
Excellent 😊 ‼
thanks for this very informative video. this has only further confirmed that lchf diet is good for our health
Dear Mr. Willcourt, what is the name of the substance than you name at the beginning that can cure cancer?
Cannabis oil.
Please include information about foods high in oxalic acid. Oxalate crystals are at the root cause of arthritic pain and many other
conditions and need to be eliminated gradually from the body. Unfortunately many keto foods are high in oxalates.
Great info.
How is fruit sugar the same as refined sugar ?
*Savage* talk; perhaps my favourite talk on LCHF! :-P 👍
Great speeach....
My husband has stopped eating carbs. Only eats green vegetables, avocados, pecans, and fatty cuts of meat once a day. He’s down 18 pounds in 3 weeks. He feels great and has no cravings for sugars .
