Going keto did more to treat my bipolar 2 than any medication I was on but the fact it helped me lose 200 pounds and I physically got a lot healthier could have been part of it
I dont think its as simple as just weight loss. I had depression and anxiety and I was never overweight and I did sports all my life. I too also felt that keto/carnivore improved my mood and normalize my anxiety. As of now I am cycling on/off of carnivore diet. Its not a be all end all but its definitely something everyone should try if they suffer from depression.
I’ll watch this as my daughter was involved in an accident which left her with a TBI. I went against the grain of the hospital and put her on a Keto diet. I did add certain supplements and some variations. She was reasonably Keto/low carb before but as a teenager relaxed) hospital said she would be in there for months, she was home 4 weeks later! Unfortunately as she recovered and went back into friendships and society her food changed to her peers because she is adamant not to be “different” now as she does have some damage. The changes are so apparent before the accident, after and Keto to now!
Great to see Dr Amen on board keto, to great effect. I've read his work for a long time. He's a major figure in psychiatry and his voice, in favor of diet over medication, is a huge win for a sick society. I've seen how keto (& carnivore, although neither of you like it) heals migraines, depression, and brain fog, along with the weight loss and overall health. I'm 70 and I'm seeing people barely mobile around me at younger ages while I feel excellent most of the time. Sleep is the one piece I'm really working on, but my diet is dialed in.
Yeah aiming ketocarnivore has improved so much of my energy satiation and health factors, eating beef actually also improved my sleep, and found out it has a natural amount of melatonin in it. But also I did also switch out my led light bulbs with incandescent and my body immediately started feeling the right amount of sleep pressure at the time I needed. I did not realize that the leds in my house we're stressing my body out, but wit was like turning off a stress switch in my body when I swapped them out. I'm kind of wondering now if this is why so many people and their kids are so dependent on melatonin. Other good ones before trying carnivore and switching to incandescents, was earthing while sleeping and turning off the WiFi and putting the phones on airplane mode. It all contributes in some way though.
Seriously, I really needed this video to remind me what keto did for me before I drifted away. Low carb is not keto and keto helped my brain as much as my BMI. Thank you Thomas for reminding me.
Yes, I agree this video is a great reminder! I was at my healthiest weight from 2018-2021 ; and took my eye off the ball Keto helped me in every way so I need to get back on it.👍🏾
Depends on who you talk to. I consider myself low carb. But others have told me I am actually keto. I still think I am low carb. If you look at some of these rigged studies that claim they are comparing low carb to a regular diet, the one had low carb is 150 and the normal as 170. One study had 250 as low carb. Normal as 300. I get somewhere between 30 and 50 carbs most days. I always assumed keto was under 20 carbs. But others claim under 50. I have days where I go up to maybe 70. Very rare. When my husband goes away I am more carnivore as it is really the easiest. Tend to do big projects when he is away, so want easy cooking. The problem is they have not set rules about what is what is what. It is why Ad vent ist backed studies can cheat like they do.
@@sailingsolo5290my buddy at work did carnivore for a year. Went from being an absolute stud to having no prostate and a whole host of other health problems including failing organs. Eat a vegetable, soluble fiber doesn’t count as carbs and will keep your shit from backing into your balls and liver.
@@dawnelder9046 we live in a sugar/carb obsessed society so it doesn't surprise me at all to see so called "studies" trying to call 100, 150, 200+ "low" carb. It's ridiculous. Personally under 50 but ideally under 30 is what I consider to be ketogenic, works great for me.
while i (31m) did keto on and off over a few years, i developed multiple sclerosis and lost my right eye vision and had back pain with depression. after changing to a carnivore diet (zero carb most months) i found pastuerized milk and wheat to cause my MS to flare up the most, usually apathetic depression for 6+hours. i also find i'm sharper without carbs, that most carb foods made me have less drive. i don't know why and i'm not a scientist but 18months on a carnivore diet, with 0 vegetables, has made my MS heal and give me drive/energy with losing 30+lbs (200>170). i do have 350 total cholesterol but i have zero heart trouble with more stamina than i had as a teen and my resting heartbeat is under 60
Absolutely have to tailor to your specific body, I think keto and carnivore are both great to get people off carbs, I want to try both and see what works better for me
@@rosered3919 short answer, yes. i've had 3 MRIs over the 18months. the first 2 was with a doom sayer of a doctor, always on about how it will only get worse, all i could do was slow the progress with some injection called copaxone. i was probably improving on the 2nd mri but she wouldn't say it. with a different doctor/hospital, the neurologist noted no signs of abnormality in my spine MRI, a month ago, which i had lesions before around the.. i think t11 area which i had slight pain. my brain still has some lesions but my loss of vision of my right eye went from barely seeing my hand to being able to see like i'm looking through a fog. like i can see ok now, i just have loss of color saturation
Hi Thomas. Great video. Can you please do these type of videos quite often where a guest speaker gets candid and share their experiences on health, diet,food, etc which affected them positively and changed their life. Great insight. Honestly such type of videos keep you motivated. I am on keto diet for almost one and a half year and never want to go back to my old diet or eating pattern. I do intermittent fasting and this has changed my life and health for good.
And another thing not to be fooled about which Thomas will never talk about is the effect of food on your body. I had to go carnivore as a last resort for my lower G.I. issues. And my joint issues. And what I found out is vegetables were causing me so much information. At 62 and 63 I was feeling like a 75-year-old person. Getting vegetables out of my life saved me. I no longer have the stiff sore body in the morning. I don’t crawl out of bed anymore. I don’t sit for an length of time and I have a hard time walking. Yes I still do have a left hip issue, but that’s pretty much from my previous job of 46 years. Also spices and melted fat were causing me lower G.I. issues. Nuts were causing me lower G.I. issues. I can only use salt and maybe a little bit of garlic. If I want to have a peaceful morning, I will eat meat eggs and that’s it. Tweak your diet to fit your needs.
Butter healed the degenerative bone disease in my right foot. Took about 3 months. Just went low carb and could not eat enough butter. My body knew it needed it.
@@Continental123-i2nanimal fats are the main source of the most usable minerals available to your body. Bones are really more like a scaffold with places for a variety of minerals ..so the more useable minerals you can get into your body the better you can keep your bones strong
Actually, I know the benefits of ketogenic diet Insulin resistance fixed Fatty liver fixed Body moves smoothly Brain works better with sharp sense Neck seizure seems to be fixed
This is one of the PBS doctors that convinced me to go vegetarian/vegan 13 years ago. It almost ruined my health. Been carnivore for 4+ years now and now have my health back. No veggies at all. Fruit once in a great while.
@@ronburgandy7571 OK so my question is what if you just eat healthy on vegan could you still not have those side effect some people talk abou? I just don’t get it can’t you? Is there healthy vegetarian keto? Is that possible?
@@gatesroyale no I was not. I only ate organic vegetables and fruit. Nothing else. I was vegetarian for 10 years and then vegan for 3 years, because vegetarianism wasn't working. On the 14 and 15th year I spent most my time going from doctor to doctor with joint pain, muscle aches,migrains, and brain fog. Out of desperation I tried carnivore and within a few days starting feeling better. Four plus years now and now have my health back. No vegetables, only meat,butter,eggs,water. This is the real Brain Food connection.
Yep, no doubt about keto anymore. Being seizure free is worth more to me than a little carb FOMO. It’s fascinating how seductive carbs and industrialized highly-palatable foods are, had me in a stalemate for WAY too long.
Did you find out the cause of your seizures?…My cousin started getting random seizures got really sick and died doctors didn’t know what was going on with him to this day
The spectrum didn't exist when I grew up ~ well more accurately wasn't known ~ but I know now I'm somewhere on it and like to say that all the best people are so maybe that's my tribe. I've been trying to express how different I feel since Keto and 16/8 IF and it's this ~ there's times when my mind is simply, naturally and contentedly SILENT ! and I can just be happily with me myself and I. Great interview and a good collaborative synergy between you two, so thanks.
I love the analogy of calorie quality to how you budget your money. If you make enough $ to cover all your necessary expenses (eat the proper amount of calories) but then turn around and spend all that money on a new shoe wardrobe instead or rent and utilities, and end up getting evicted in the process, it IS going to matter. People can understand that better than they can understand all the science of what the different macro and micro-nutrients do and how important they are to the end result. Thx for this interview. Love Dr Amen! 😊
Tom, i have a great deal of respect for you & your knowledge. I wld like to see DR Amen back on to speak more about HIS experiece - as advertised. I dont feel he was able to share much. Thx
Did a SPECT Scan at Amen Clinics... saved my brain... proved the diagnosis ... Dr Amen is a good guy... doesn't understand saturated fat and cholesterol but hey, ya can't know everything.
I enjoyed this video. I appreciate Dr Amen's "It's not your father's keto". My dad lost 100# years ago and then died at age 46. My mom always felt the Dr Atkin's diet had something to do with his heart attack (he had high blood pressure & was under extreme stress too). The Keto today is so much more informed and balanced. You do have to be informed and stay hydrated tho, bc my brother had a sudden onset heart issue bc his electrlytes were too low. He's fine. I like the low carb bc I'm diabetic and I can actually get satisfied. I couldn't understand before how I could eat sooo much food abd still be hungry. The diabetes doesn't allow my body to be fed well which kept me hungry. This is just a better way of life for me. 💕 Thank you Thomas & Dr. Amen for what you've both done to educare me physically & mentally over the years.
I have been a fan of Dr. Amen since he first appeared on PBS but here is a question for him. He has stated about the low resolution PET scans that they show what medicines work or don't work on different mental health disorders. Has he prescribed keto for any of his clinic patients and what if anything has the scans showed in response to that "treatment"?
I have been going on and off keto since 2020, but every time I am off I miss the improved cognitive function and anxiety management so much. I really need to find better ways to just stay on track but the more I go off the harder it gets. Thomas do you have any videos about cycling in and out of keto without being fat adapted?
this is the truth..by now we all seen and heard the same info of how keto works vs the SAD diet and is not anymore a common knowledge issue that we do not understand what is good for us, the issue is like you said how to stay on track! I had a month one month ago and went down 8 kilos on keto but this last month I fell back into SAD and Uber diet food choices and gained half of this weight loss and feel stiff, inflamed and brain fog ones again.. is a hell to fall back and is a lot harder to find ways in modern day society to stay on track ! that is the key here, how we in modern day society who are not rich pricks with private chefs behind the camera can on a daily basis cook on our own and stay on track with the keto diet and afford it
Just use keto as maintainence and come out of it within a couple hour period each day strategically. Like have some honey and berries before a workout between meals if you do 2MAD. Doing this has improved my sleep quality, mood, adrenal function, gut function, got rid of my chronic dry mouth, feel less inflammed generally.
I can feel the energy and cognitive benefits of keto if I eat good carbs and I am active. Steel cut oats and beans are my favorite, and all kinds of fruits.. walking after eating carbs and just throughout the day will reduce blood sugar and insulin spikes! Walking a lot will make you more metabolically healthy and flexible so that you can go in and out of keto easier without having to be "fat adapted"
0:27: 💡 Dr. Daniel Ayman discusses his experience with ketogenic diet and its potential benefits for psychiatric conditions. 3:22: 🥑 The speaker shares their positive experience with a modified ketogenic diet and discusses how it can improve mitochondrial function and help with weight loss. 6:53: 🥑 A Mediterranean ketogenic diet can provide the benefits of the Mediterranean diet while also promoting insulin control. 10:26: 🤔 People get so up in arms about diets like keto because they feel a strong sense of belonging to their chosen tribe and anyone outside of it is seen as a threat. 13:15: 🧠 Taking care of your brain is important, so avoiding foods that negatively impact it is crucial. Recap by Tammy AI
Dr. Amen changed my life when I read his book "Making a Good Brain Great." I was going through a deep depression and it was a clear stepping stone. I went from a highly processed ramen and wheat rich diet that was killing my body and my brain to eating oats with berries, salmon and greens. It was a definite stepping stone, now I'm leaning more keto carnivore, but it really helped guide me out of the junkatarian reality that our world is swimming in. I mean drowning in. The thing I like about carnivore now. Is the complete satiation, energy levels and sleep, apparently there is a natural level of melatonin in beef and my body's been feeling it.
Also what I like about carnivore too is the not feeling mentally pulled by the fake "keto" products put out to the market that are often really just junk. I also don't really have to do nearly as much label reading, just enough to know if there are any dyes or added sugars really. But it's relaxing not having to focus so much energy and attention on label reading all the things on the shelf.
This guys sells on PBS Infomercials. I watched and realized he could not lift his arms and talk. I googled him and just assumed he had a neurological problem. He is waving his arms when he talks now. He is astonished to discover what was known 100+ years ago in the treatment of epilepsy and seizures. Shows how nefarious the medical education is. He discovered gravity after a professional life time of having no idea it existed.
That's psychiatry for you. He promotes MRI's for diagnostic criteria of neurological dysfunctions when behevhour is not a metric for biology and MRI's are a static image and doesn't quantify function as it's not a dynamic diagnostic tool.
Fantastic information! Thank you for this video. I like the guest format. Perhaps incorporate guests once in awhile? I’ve been on a healthy ketogenic lifestyle for years and it has helped me tremendously. I am in the “normal” weight range for my height. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed an undiagnosed inflammatory condition in my joints and spine. I have chronic pain and am treated regularly by pain medicine specialists at Mayo Clinic. (Joint replacements and spine injections) Your videos help so many people. I would like to see how keto benefits our health in different ways. Any thoughts on how it can help with autoimmune or inflammatory conditions?
Check out NIH (national institute of health) they did a study on fasting and it’s affects on inflammation and RA. Basically it stops the inflammation, combine that with an OMAD (one meal a day) keto diet that is 10 carbs only not net carbs. Find all the foods that are considered keto but are inflammatory and eat anti inflammatory foods. So far a high meat to veggie diet is the one that works for me. Have patience with it it might take 3 to 6 months or longer for your body to heal. If it doesn’t work then change it up, you might need to do a longer fasting and then start eating. If you decide to do fasting drink your electrolytes. Choose something that has salt,potassium, magnesium and no sugar. Good luck
check out oxylates, lectins and phytates. especially oxylates. pain reduction and healing on a carnivore diet is from eliminating these plant toxins. dr chaffee is a good one to wtch on yt. sally norton on oxylates.
Saturated fat in the context of a low carb diet is extremely healthy for humans. Why would either of you think it needs to be limited? Beef is about 1:1 saturated to monounsaturated. Perfect ratio
I’m an intermittent faster. I tried a low carb diet recently. It was not as strict as keto, but close. I felt better after the first week and continued to feel good until the 4th week. Over the course of the next week, my ability to sleep got worse every night. It literally wrecked my sleep. I decided that it was too high of a price to pay to continue. I started adding back a few carbs each day and have slowly restored my sleep this past week. Is this normal? Have you heard of this before? If so, what do you think is my problem? I want the brain and mitochondrial benefits of Keto, but ruining my sleep is a huge problem.
@mommerang: you want the benefits of keto yet you yourself said you didn’t do keto. You just did low carb. Of course you were having trouble sleeping. You were starving your body of it’s drugs (carbs) and not replacing it with anything. Get your carbs below 20 get your fat intake up. Your going to be miserable at first as your body detoxes. Then your going to sleep like a baby and feel better then you ever have.
I'd like to add to the thoughtful comment the other person made, was that you CAN avoid feeling miserable in the first week or two by simply intaking enough of the electrolytes! Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium. You can find them pre-mixed (usually in a powdered or crystalline form), that you just mix with water, or capsules, at most grocery or health food stores and online of course, through the usual marketplaces, and vitamin/supplement stores, pharmacies, and Walmart, etc. I think here on YT, I've seen Dr. Berg has his own as well as a few others who use the ketogenic and carnivore diets. I need to use them anyway, because I think I just don't absorb well or have enough magnesium, and it is a real game-changer for me! I mix my own electrolytes in water using a powdered magnesium and add fresh squeezed half of a lemon, then have another glass later. I also drink low sodium V8 juice for the higher Potassium (even though there are some carbs). I spread both of these things throughout the day. If you are starting keto (or even low-carb), as you loose the excess water from water-logged tissues and burn fat, you will loose some electrolytes with that water and may feel a little tired, cranky, a little headachy, or light muscle cramps, etc., but all it is, is that you are simply loosing some of the electrolytes, and the simple fix is putting them into the water that you would be drinking anyway, (I like the lemon water - and no added sugar, of course), and drink it throughout the day at least during those first few weeks. And of course, if you are taking a prescription med for high blood pressure, never take potassium supplements, but I try be sure to get at least the daily minimum through food and the low sodium V8 now, and it's fantastic! I got my HBP down within the normal range just by making sure I had the electrolytes I needed in the water, and keeping the carbs below 25gm/day.
@@anitamurkes9511 I don''t have my gallbladder, I eat a lot of fat in the beginning I had to take oxbile tablets it helped a lot.I also drink heavy cream in my coffee, i love butter. good luck
Thomas... sorry if you've covered this in any videos, but may I ask if you're on TRT? The amount of muscle you have and low body fat appear that you do at least take TRT, and it would help me put your advice in the right context as I do believe exogenous hormones greatly affect metabolism. The core principles of what you often talk about I do believe in myself and practice myself, but not in the context of building massive muscles in my humble experience and opinion. I'd greatly appreciate your honesty on this topic.
12:30 I disagree with the energy in energy out model. You have to have fats. They can't be made. You have to have protein. It can't be made. You don't need carbs, especially processed food. Carbs can be made. Cettain vitamins or minerals can't be made A calorie is a calorie in a bomb calorimeter, but we need the right building blocks.
Sounds like you may be insulin resistant. I am already fat adapted and once in a while will have something at someone's house that is not keto. I immediately need a nap. lol One of the signs that one is fat adapted is when you eat carb you get very sleepy. I now stick to keto and don't cheat. Not worth it.
Interesting discussion on the effect of stress and the effect of individual foods. Just yesterday I listened to Dr Ellie Philips explain that increased stress levels increase the acidity of saliva. Makes sense that the finely tuned biochemistry of the human body could react differently at different times due to external circumstances to the same food in some people.
Eating beef, butter, bacon, and eggs on a regular basis for the last year very low carbohydrate. My blood pressure has normalized. My cardiologist explained that bacon is high in nitrates and nitrates lower blood pressure.
I get so weak tired sore and zero muscle glycogen when I do keto. It does help me cut and enjoy the intermittent fasting while doing it and curving the hunger. I just can’t get get booted up with energy on keto I just get weak
Hihi, why don't you try around 100 grams of carbs a day? Whole food carbs. For me I don't like many keto foods when I eat them too much. I don't like butter and grease, I don't like bacon and I don't like meat with nothing on the side. For me I get best out of both worlds on 100 grams of carbs.
I am able to keep my blood glucose down by adding fatty food... Say cherries with full fat cottage cheese or cherries in an omelette with a touch of full fat yogurt. I can even have treats like Key Lime pie or cheesecake in a small portion because of the high fat and protein content. I had a friend with Type 1 Diabetes who got spikes from sugar free ice cream but not from regular ice cream..! I think you have to check your individual response to foods.
COVID-19 hits: "LOCKDOWNS! Everyone stay home! 10% of the population at risk of hospitalization! Keep our healthcare system safe from overwhelm!" 50% of Americans insulin resistant or pre-insulin resistant: "No worries, please keep eating Burger King. Thanks."
I was doing a keto paleo mix cuisine easily and successfully for 2 years with once a week fastung. Then after my 2nd mandated jab my body swelled up. Then came sugar attacks and rabidly gained 35 lbs became type 2 diabetes put on several T2D meds but A1C still went up to 10. I am fear needles but my Dr said if i dont try the injectables now i will become Type 1 and have to takes needles several times a day forever. In her office did 1st injectable. Then 1 month later A1C down to 8 and burned off 6 lbs. So tritated up in 2nd month, no more attacks, i am using the weekly injectable to train my body back to keto paleo, so when my A1C is normal again i can stop the meds.
One thing about calories in / calories out -- your stomach and intestines digest things differently depending on what you eat first and how much fiber you eat. So, the calorie in/calories expended people should think about how the stomach/intestines work.
Another thing about CICO, you can’t accurately measure calories in (labels can be off +-20%) and it’s impossible to measure calories out. Please explain how you can measure calories out. You would need a bomb calorimeter and be in a lab to measure calories. Measuring mass in/mass out is a way better means. Watch Bart kays videos where he very much debunks the CICO.
A couple of things said make me critical of this person's opinion. He said he is against moderation personally. He said he lost a lot of weight when cutting out carbs. Suggests to me he had a poor diet to start with, probably shoveling all kinds of stuff. So we can't extrapolate that as a best fit to everyone. Personally I have good control over my carbs. I know which cause fat gain, which don't, and am good at cycling them as needed to prepare for different exercises.
The first law of thermodynamics does not apply to open systems such as the human body. Believing otherwise shows a lack of basic understanding of the first law of thermodynamics. Thermodynamics has minimal impact on humans to begin with. We get our energy from chemical processes, not thermal.
Enjoyed the discussion, and good to hear Dr. Amen's positive commenmts about Keto. BUT, DISAPPOINTED, DID NOT SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO Dr. AMEN'S BRAIN ON KETO!!! Did I miss it?
I am interested in the good doctor’s diet. If he wasn’t doing keto, there’s only one thing left which by the way carnivore is keto. People use keto like they use the word Kleenex. Kleenex could be the storebrand an off brand. But it’s the same thing. At any rate, was he eating wheat? Was he eating sugar? Was he eating junk food was he eating fructose?. For a health guy how is he not doing a version of the ketogenic diet?
My son’s doctor put him on a plant based diet because his cholesterol was a little high. That was two months ago and he not only feels better but his cholesterol has come down. In addition he did eliminate processed foods and sugar as well.
I. have been following you two amazing people lately. I feel better on a much lower carb diet but I seem to feel ill and can't stay on it. Maybe just need to eat more? Hey, I love those frozen blueberries Dr. Amen.
Sometimes I just think I never actually was doing keto before and anybody who claims to do it isn't really doing it, they're just staying away from sugar and grain and sweet fruits. The successful ones are the ones who didn't overdo it on the animal fats. but at that point having an orange or some whole wheat toast, or some oats or potatoes every now and then isn't going to wreck the protocol, because it's not really the ketones that make it work, at least from a weight loss focus, to curb epilepsy or other things, that's different.
I’m vegan gluten dairy free with no weight issues. In fact I can eat as much as I want and stay skinny. What I cannot tolerate or digest is meat. It not only smells nasty but I’m opposed to eating animals with a digestive system. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables along with nuts, seeds, olive oil, flax, chia, avocado. I have tons of energy and think clearly.
makes me wonder what kind of impact butter alternatives have had on the general population.. margarine tastes great but lacks the goodness of natural animal fats
I mean this happens in fitness as well. It is in everything. I am in group A. Your are in group B. Since group B is not group A then group B must be trying to undermine group A. This is how a lot of poeple think and out of trying to defend what has helped them specifically they become angry.
Bipolar is due to gluten which hurts the gut lining so less nutrients absorb like Li and other minerals etc.. Seizures maybe due to gluten/dairy/soy/sugar etc.. Vaccines may add to seizures. Keto is low gluten and different kind of fuel for the brain/body.
So my mind and mood feels amazing, absolutely amazing, the day AFTER I eat a huge amount of beef fat or bacon fat. (Zero carb or almost zero carb). I do not experience this benefit after eating a lot of butter. I've experimented several times. I don't know why butter doesn't do the same for me.
Thomas, could you please do a video comparing the philosophies of Ray Peat, Morley Robbins, the keto diet, and the carnivore diet? There seems to be such polarized opinions and I’m over here going crazy. Thank you!
I absolutely love keto. Not eating it now though. But staying at a decent lowcarb diet and it's working well. My only questiis.. when I started keto, my thyroid has gone bonkers. I used to have Hypothyreos, now it has turned in to hyperthyroidism and I'm sensitive to iodine which is unusual. I suspect it may or may not be due to the ketogenic diet but a very stressful part of my life. Ketogenic diet helped me take the problems with ease though. Due to it made me very positive. Even at the emergency room I was happy and chitter chatty although my legs didn't carry me. But I have a hard time to relax and unwind with my thyroid. My blood sugar is pretty ok nowadays anyways. So I don't eat strict keto anymore.
10:30. I disagree with his diet identity thing. I'm not my diet. I have to restrict food that doesn't work for me. Eg carbs that keep me insulin resistant or ocalates that don't agree with me. Some people cling to vegetarian because of religion or they feel better. I don't hate them for it.
I'm starting to like keto. I think I do a bit too much protein but I'm doing a cut and have heard higher protein is good for that. That could be total hogwash. Ideally I'd love to eat keto macros. When I make my eggs with sausage and bacon and cheese and spinach it naturally comes out to keto calories. I don't mind losing a bit of muscle on my cut because I get it back so easily. We will see how things progress. But I def like keto
Not sure why, however every time I ate the “Keto” way nothing positive happened for me. I didn’t sleep any better, mental health the same, and not always good, no noticeable weight loss, although I’m not overweight, and my A1C went up, as well as, my cholesterol and bad fat markers went up in ten months tested twice. I was told that folks in their 50’s and 60’s should not do Keto…only good for younger population. Now I’ve read results from people in their 60’s and older having good results. I’ve got to wonder why it’s not working for me…🥴
You probably were not actually in ketosis. It’s actually very difficult for some people (especially middle-aged plus women). If you do a water fast of at least 24 hours and then just eat eggs, avocados, meat or fish for the next 24 hours that should put you in ketosis - but the minute you hit the bread, rice etc you’ll come straight out again.
why do people get angry about diets... it's not just tribalism. When a diet gets huge it genuinely changes what's at your local store and how things are priced.
@@helenahandkart1857 Uh, no. He also seemed to agree a lot with Gilbert Gottfried (or whatever that CICO guy is who sounds like him... Greg Doucette or something)? The guests are often very different, and the science is far from settled on any of this.
There are two schools of thought in CICO. One looks at nothing but calories. I know a guy like that who sometimes posts on social media and only gets 50-60g of protein daily and usually finishes off with fast food or cookies. Then there's the crowd more into macros and strength training. They'll say you can eat 1,400 of junk calories but then you'll have to make the remaining 800 (or whatever). count. So they'll eat almost nothing but tuna, chicken breast and whey powder to make up protein deficit--and maybe take a fiber supplement. I don't like either one, though the latter crowd makes a little more sense. I find CICO too limiting and find that I cheat too often and berak my calorie limit with late night snacks.

Amaxing story bro, well done to you!!! ❤
Happy for you!
Wow, that’s awesome!
Awesome and inspiring.....so happy for you!
I dont think its as simple as just weight loss.
I had depression and anxiety and I was never overweight and I did sports all my life.
I too also felt that keto/carnivore improved my mood and normalize my anxiety. As of now I am cycling on/off of carnivore diet.
Its not a be all end all but its definitely something everyone should try if they suffer from depression.
I’ll watch this as my daughter was involved in an accident which left her with a TBI. I went against the grain of the hospital and put her on a Keto diet. I did add certain supplements and some variations. She was reasonably Keto/low carb before but as a teenager relaxed) hospital said she would be in there for months, she was home 4 weeks later! Unfortunately as she recovered and went back into friendships and society her food changed to her peers because she is adamant not to be “different” now as she does have some damage. The changes are so apparent before the accident, after and Keto to now!
Lost 78 lb. in 8 months on Keto, lost pre-diabetes, hypertension, joint issues, lower back pain. A lot of improvements to the mood and energy level.
Kudos for interviewing Dr. Amen, who I have followed since I was diagnosed with Adult ADHD in the mid 1990’s. Mad respect for you both!
Great to see Dr Amen on board keto, to great effect. I've read his work for a long time. He's a major figure in psychiatry and his voice, in favor of diet over medication, is a huge win for a sick society. I've seen how keto (& carnivore, although neither of you like it) heals migraines, depression, and brain fog, along with the weight loss and overall health. I'm 70 and I'm seeing people barely mobile around me at younger ages while I feel excellent most of the time. Sleep is the one piece I'm really working on, but my diet is dialed in.
Great comment.
I agree with you 100%. I am a retired physician.
Agreed. I see people around me all the time with mobility aids. Some are not even 60 yet, not to mention obesity due to garbage diets!
Yeah aiming ketocarnivore has improved so much of my energy satiation and health factors, eating beef actually also improved my sleep, and found out it has a natural amount of melatonin in it. But also I did also switch out my led light bulbs with incandescent and my body immediately started feeling the right amount of sleep pressure at the time I needed. I did not realize that the leds in my house we're stressing my body out, but wit was like turning off a stress switch in my body when I swapped them out. I'm kind of wondering now if this is why so many people and their kids are so dependent on melatonin. Other good ones before trying carnivore and switching to incandescents, was earthing while sleeping and turning off the WiFi and putting the phones on airplane mode. It all contributes in some way though.
@@Gio-sx7kt very much agreed with your strategies. We've been lied to about so many dangers. Starting with diet and all the way down the line!
Seriously, I really needed this video to remind me what keto did for me before I drifted away. Low carb is not keto and keto helped my brain as much as my BMI. Thank you Thomas for reminding me.
Day 45 carnivore. Never going back to keto. Carnivore changed my life in 3 days.
Yes, I agree this video is a great reminder! I was at my healthiest weight from 2018-2021 ; and took my eye off the ball Keto helped me in every way so I need to get back on it.👍🏾
Depends on who you talk to. I consider myself low carb. But others have told me I am actually keto. I still think I am low carb.
If you look at some of these rigged studies that claim they are comparing low carb to a regular diet, the one had low carb is 150 and the normal as 170. One study had 250 as low carb. Normal as 300.
I get somewhere between 30 and 50 carbs most days. I always assumed keto was under 20 carbs. But others claim under 50.
I have days where I go up to maybe 70. Very rare. When my husband goes away I am more carnivore as it is really the easiest. Tend to do big projects when he is away, so want easy cooking.
The problem is they have not set rules about what is what is what. It is why Ad vent ist backed studies can cheat like they do.
@@sailingsolo5290my buddy at work did carnivore for a year. Went from being an absolute stud to having no prostate and a whole host of other health problems including failing organs. Eat a vegetable, soluble fiber doesn’t count as carbs and will keep your shit from backing into your balls and liver.
@@dawnelder9046 we live in a sugar/carb obsessed society so it doesn't surprise me at all to see so called "studies" trying to call 100, 150, 200+ "low" carb. It's ridiculous. Personally under 50 but ideally under 30 is what I consider to be ketogenic, works great for me.
while i (31m) did keto on and off over a few years, i developed multiple sclerosis and lost my right eye vision and had back pain with depression. after changing to a carnivore diet (zero carb most months) i found pastuerized milk and wheat to cause my MS to flare up the most, usually apathetic depression for 6+hours. i also find i'm sharper without carbs, that most carb foods made me have less drive. i don't know why and i'm not a scientist but 18months on a carnivore diet, with 0 vegetables, has made my MS heal and give me drive/energy with losing 30+lbs (200>170). i do have 350 total cholesterol but i have zero heart trouble with more stamina than i had as a teen and my resting heartbeat is under 60
What a great testimony. Thank you for sharing 😊
This is an amazing story
Absolutely have to tailor to your specific body, I think keto and carnivore are both great to get people off carbs, I want to try both and see what works better for me
Well done! Did your MRIs show the healing of leasions ? Or , you feel better so assume healing? Genuine question. Thankyou.
@@rosered3919 short answer, yes. i've had 3 MRIs over the 18months. the first 2 was with a doom sayer of a doctor, always on about how it will only get worse, all i could do was slow the progress with some injection called copaxone. i was probably improving on the 2nd mri but she wouldn't say it. with a different doctor/hospital, the neurologist noted no signs of abnormality in my spine MRI, a month ago, which i had lesions before around the.. i think t11 area which i had slight pain. my brain still has some lesions but my loss of vision of my right eye went from barely seeing my hand to being able to see like i'm looking through a fog. like i can see ok now, i just have loss of color saturation
Hi Thomas. Great video. Can you please do these type of videos quite often where a guest speaker gets candid and share their experiences on health, diet,food, etc which affected them positively and changed their life. Great insight. Honestly such type of videos keep you motivated. I am on keto diet for almost one and a half year and never want to go back to my old diet or eating pattern. I do intermittent fasting and this has changed my life and health for good.
And another thing not to be fooled about which Thomas will never talk about is the effect of food on your body. I had to go carnivore as a last resort for my lower G.I. issues. And my joint issues. And what I found out is vegetables were causing me so much information. At 62 and 63 I was feeling like a 75-year-old person. Getting vegetables out of my life saved me. I no longer have the stiff sore body in the morning. I don’t crawl out of bed anymore. I don’t sit for an length of time and I have a hard time walking. Yes I still do have a left hip issue, but that’s pretty much from my previous job of 46 years. Also spices and melted fat were causing me lower G.I. issues. Nuts were causing me lower G.I. issues. I can only use salt and maybe a little bit of garlic. If I want to have a peaceful morning, I will eat meat eggs and that’s it. Tweak your diet to fit your needs.
Butter healed the degenerative bone disease in my right foot. Took about 3 months. Just went low carb and could not eat enough butter. My body knew it needed it.
It regrew the bone? Please explain more
Yes, do share!
Low carb and cant eat butter?
How?
@@Continental123-i2nanimal fats are the main source of the most usable minerals available to your body. Bones are really more like a scaffold with places for a variety of minerals ..so the more useable minerals you can get into your body the better you can keep your bones strong
Actually, I know the benefits of ketogenic diet
Insulin resistance fixed
Fatty liver fixed
Body moves smoothly
Brain works better with sharp sense
Neck seizure seems to be fixed
I agree
That was so impressive. Fantastic conversation with such a well respected Doc. Great testimonial.
Thank you for this, Thomas. I love Dr. Amen. His work has changed our lives.
Great to see you both having this discussion, thank you gentlemen!
Can we get more info on perceptions and how perceptions relate to spiking insulin / glucose?
This is one of the PBS doctors that convinced me to go vegetarian/vegan 13 years ago. It almost ruined my health. Been carnivore for 4+ years now and now have my health back. No veggies at all. Fruit once in a great while.
Yeah, but were you eating an unhealthy vegetarian diet filled with processed foods?
@@gatesroyaleof course. Ever vegetarian vegan does thinking “ I just don’t eat meat “.
@@ronburgandy7571 OK so my question is what if you just eat healthy on vegan could you still not have those side effect some people talk abou? I just don’t get it can’t you? Is there healthy vegetarian keto? Is that possible?
@@gatesroyale I think he’s done a video about healthy vegetarian keto but it seems like a pain in the ass.
@@gatesroyale no I was not. I only ate organic vegetables and fruit. Nothing else. I was vegetarian for 10 years and then vegan for 3 years, because vegetarianism wasn't working. On the 14 and 15th year I spent most my time going from doctor to doctor with joint pain, muscle aches,migrains, and brain fog. Out of desperation I tried carnivore and within a few days starting feeling better. Four plus years now and now have my health back. No vegetables, only meat,butter,eggs,water. This is the real Brain Food connection.
Yep, no doubt about keto anymore. Being seizure free is worth more to me than a little carb FOMO. It’s fascinating how seductive carbs and industrialized highly-palatable foods are, had me in a stalemate for WAY too long.
Did you find out the cause of your seizures?…My cousin started getting random seizures got really sick and died doctors didn’t know what was going on with him to this day
@@DejiiJones_ The cause of my seizures is epilepsy.
The spectrum didn't exist when I grew up ~ well more accurately wasn't known ~ but I know now I'm somewhere on it and like to say that all the best people are so maybe that's my tribe. I've been trying to express how different I feel since Keto and 16/8 IF and it's this ~ there's times when my mind is simply, naturally and contentedly SILENT ! and I can just be happily with me myself and I. Great interview and a good collaborative synergy between you two, so thanks.
seizures in babies are often linked to vaccines ..... my nephew developed epilepsy at 10 years old after he was given a vaccine...
I love the analogy of calorie quality to how you budget your money. If you make enough $ to cover all your necessary expenses (eat the proper amount of calories) but then turn around and spend all that money on a new shoe wardrobe instead or rent and utilities, and end up getting evicted in the process, it IS going to matter. People can understand that better than they can understand all the science of what the different macro and micro-nutrients do and how important they are to the end result. Thx for this interview. Love Dr Amen! 😊
Tom, i have a great deal of respect for you & your knowledge. I wld like to see DR Amen back on to speak more about HIS experiece - as advertised. I dont feel he was able to share much. Thx
This dude is more together than the previous time, glad it's working!
Fantastic conversation. Great upload. Thank you
Did a SPECT Scan at Amen Clinics... saved my brain... proved the diagnosis ... Dr Amen is a good guy... doesn't understand saturated fat and cholesterol but hey, ya can't know everything.
How much?
@@ShepherdMinistry oh man that was around 2012 and if I recall it was around $5000 total

I have my son of 11 on keto ,changed his life ,and taught him to weight regulate , and eating proper food ,and food timing, fasting ,
Be careful, growing brain/bodies needs some amount of carbs/glucose
Insulin spike? big deal... how quickly does it come back down?... that's what is important.
I enjoyed this video. I appreciate Dr Amen's "It's not your father's keto". My dad lost 100# years ago and then died at age 46. My mom always felt the Dr Atkin's diet had something to do with his heart attack (he had high blood pressure & was under extreme stress too). The Keto today is so much more informed and balanced. You do have to be informed and stay hydrated tho, bc my brother had a sudden onset heart issue bc his electrlytes were too low. He's fine. I like the low carb bc I'm diabetic and I can actually get satisfied. I couldn't understand before how I could eat sooo much food abd still be hungry. The diabetes doesn't allow my body to be fed well which kept me hungry. This is just a better way of life for me. 💕 Thank you Thomas & Dr. Amen for what you've both done to educare me physically & mentally over the years.
I have been a fan of Dr. Amen since he first appeared on PBS but here is a question for him. He has stated about the low resolution PET scans that they show what medicines work or don't work on different mental health disorders. Has he prescribed keto for any of his clinic patients and what if anything has the scans showed in response to that "treatment"?
I have been going on and off keto since 2020, but every time I am off I miss the improved cognitive function and anxiety management so much. I really need to find better ways to just stay on track but the more I go off the harder it gets. Thomas do you have any videos about cycling in and out of keto without being fat adapted?
this is the truth..by now we all seen and heard the same info of how keto works vs the SAD diet and is not anymore a common knowledge issue that we do not understand what is good for us, the issue is like you said how to stay on track! I had a month one month ago and went down 8 kilos on keto but this last month I fell back into SAD and Uber diet food choices and gained half of this weight loss and feel stiff, inflamed and brain fog ones again.. is a hell to fall back and is a lot harder to find ways in modern day society to stay on track ! that is the key here, how we in modern day society who are not rich pricks with private chefs behind the camera can on a daily basis cook on our own and stay on track with the keto diet and afford it
Dr Mindy Pelz is an expert in women doing keto and IF . Shes on RUclips.
@@SimplicityForGood You only fail when you quit.... Just keep at it.... Study David Goggins
Just use keto as maintainence and come out of it within a couple hour period each day strategically. Like have some honey and berries before a workout between meals if you do 2MAD. Doing this has improved my sleep quality, mood, adrenal function, gut function, got rid of my chronic dry mouth, feel less inflammed generally.
I can feel the energy and cognitive benefits of keto if I eat good carbs and I am active. Steel cut oats and beans are my favorite, and all kinds of fruits.. walking after eating carbs and just throughout the day will reduce blood sugar and insulin spikes! Walking a lot will make you more metabolically healthy and flexible so that you can go in and out of keto easier without having to be "fat adapted"

Recap by Tammy AI
Dr. Amen changed my life when I read his book "Making a Good Brain Great." I was going through a deep depression and it was a clear stepping stone. I went from a highly processed ramen and wheat rich diet that was killing my body and my brain to eating oats with berries, salmon and greens. It was a definite stepping stone, now I'm leaning more keto carnivore, but it really helped guide me out of the junkatarian reality that our world is swimming in. I mean drowning in. The thing I like about carnivore now. Is the complete satiation, energy levels and sleep, apparently there is a natural level of melatonin in beef and my body's been feeling it.
Also what I like about carnivore too is the not feeling mentally pulled by the fake "keto" products put out to the market that are often really just junk. I also don't really have to do nearly as much label reading, just enough to know if there are any dyes or added sugars really. But it's relaxing not having to focus so much energy and attention on label reading all the things on the shelf.
And having simple single ingredient go tos that fill me up quickly is nice.
I really don't look to this channel for its interviews but I wish Thomas would ask direct, helpful questions.
Yes me too. He blathers a bit toooo much
I loved this conversation , great work .
This guys sells on PBS Infomercials.
I watched and realized he could not lift his arms and talk. I googled him and just assumed he had a neurological problem.
He is waving his arms when he talks now.
He is astonished to discover what was known 100+ years ago in the treatment of epilepsy and seizures. Shows how nefarious the medical education is. He discovered gravity after a professional life time of having no idea it existed.
That's psychiatry for you. He promotes MRI's for diagnostic criteria of neurological dysfunctions when behevhour is not a metric for biology and MRI's are a static image and doesn't quantify function as it's not a dynamic diagnostic tool.
Imagine if he could make as much as Big Pharma.
Thanks for bringing this valuable info Thomas. :)
Fantastic information! Thank you for this video. I like the guest format. Perhaps incorporate guests once in awhile? I’ve been on a healthy ketogenic lifestyle for years and it has helped me tremendously. I am in the “normal” weight range for my height. However, as I’ve gotten older, I’ve developed an undiagnosed inflammatory condition in my joints and spine. I have chronic pain and am treated regularly by pain medicine specialists at Mayo Clinic. (Joint replacements and spine injections) Your videos help so many people. I would like to see how keto benefits our health in different ways. Any thoughts on how it can help with autoimmune or inflammatory conditions?
Did you try carnivore? I have not but have been seeing people rave about it for pain. I might be giving it a try soon.
Check out NIH (national institute of health) they did a study on fasting and it’s affects on inflammation and RA. Basically it stops the inflammation, combine that with an OMAD (one meal a day) keto diet that is 10 carbs only not net carbs. Find all the foods that are considered keto but are inflammatory and eat anti inflammatory foods. So far a high meat to veggie diet is the one that works for me. Have patience with it it might take 3 to 6 months or longer for your body to heal. If it doesn’t work then change it up, you might need to do a longer fasting and then start eating. If you decide to do fasting drink your electrolytes. Choose something that has salt,potassium, magnesium and no sugar. Good luck
check out oxylates, lectins and phytates. especially oxylates. pain reduction and healing on a carnivore diet is from eliminating these plant toxins. dr chaffee is a good one to wtch on yt. sally norton on oxylates.
Check out Dr Chris Knobbe as may bring answers to the missing link in your query. All the best. Just discovered his work. Take care.
Bring on Thomas Seyfried!
Another great video with Dr. Amen!
Thanks Thomas!
Saturated fat in the context of a low carb diet is extremely healthy for humans. Why would either of you think it needs to be limited? Beef is about 1:1 saturated to monounsaturated. Perfect ratio
I’m an intermittent faster. I tried a low carb diet recently. It was not as strict as keto, but close. I felt better after the first week and continued to feel good until the 4th week. Over the course of the next week, my ability to sleep got worse every night. It literally wrecked my sleep. I decided that it was too high of a price to pay to continue. I started adding back a few carbs each day and have slowly restored my sleep this past week.
Is this normal? Have you heard of this before? If so, what do you think is my problem? I want the brain and mitochondrial benefits of Keto, but ruining my sleep is a huge problem.
@mommerang: you want the benefits of keto yet you yourself said you didn’t do keto. You just did low carb. Of course you were having trouble sleeping. You were starving your body of it’s drugs (carbs) and not replacing it with anything. Get your carbs below 20 get your fat intake up. Your going to be miserable at first as your body detoxes. Then your going to sleep like a baby and feel better then you ever have.
I'd like to add to the thoughtful comment the other person made, was that you CAN avoid feeling miserable in the first week or two by simply intaking enough of the electrolytes!
Sodium, Potassium and Magnesium.
You can find them pre-mixed (usually in a powdered or crystalline form), that you just mix with water, or capsules, at most grocery or health food stores and online of course, through the usual marketplaces, and vitamin/supplement stores, pharmacies, and Walmart, etc.
I think here on YT, I've seen Dr. Berg has his own as well as a few others who use the ketogenic and carnivore diets.
I need to use them anyway, because I think I just don't absorb well or have enough magnesium, and it is a real game-changer for me!
I mix my own electrolytes in water using a powdered magnesium and add fresh squeezed half of a lemon, then have another glass later. I also drink low sodium V8 juice for the higher Potassium (even though there are some carbs).
I spread both of these things throughout the day.
If you are starting keto (or even low-carb), as you loose the excess water from water-logged tissues and burn fat, you will loose some electrolytes with that water and may feel a little tired, cranky, a little headachy, or light muscle cramps, etc., but all it is, is that you are simply loosing some of the electrolytes, and the simple fix is putting them into the water that you would be drinking anyway, (I like the lemon water - and no added sugar, of course), and drink it throughout the day at least during those first few weeks.
And of course, if you are taking a prescription med for high blood pressure, never take potassium supplements, but I try be sure to get at least the daily minimum through food and the low sodium V8 now, and it's fantastic!
I got my HBP down within the normal range just by making sure I had the electrolytes I needed in the water, and keeping the carbs below 25gm/day.

Thomas... sorry if you've covered this in any videos, but may I ask if you're on TRT? The amount of muscle you have and low body fat appear that you do at least take TRT, and it would help me put your advice in the right context as I do believe exogenous hormones greatly affect metabolism. The core principles of what you often talk about I do believe in myself and practice myself, but not in the context of building massive muscles in my humble experience and opinion. I'd greatly appreciate your honesty on this topic.
Fantastic video! (The ad placement in this one was particularly appalling, disruptive & jarring, though!)
Love it - BRAIN ENVY!!!! Thank you Dr Amen.
12:30 I disagree with the energy in energy out model. You have to have fats. They can't be made. You have to have protein. It can't be made. You don't need carbs, especially processed food. Carbs can be made. Cettain vitamins or minerals can't be made
A calorie is a calorie in a bomb calorimeter, but we need the right building blocks.
I cannot stay awake to save my life on carbs. My memory has only started improving once I started the keto diet
Sounds like you may be insulin resistant. I am already fat adapted and once in a while will have something at someone's house that is not keto. I immediately need a nap. lol One of the signs that one is fat adapted is when you eat carb you get very sleepy. I now stick to keto and don't cheat. Not worth it.
Interesting discussion on the effect of stress and the effect of individual foods. Just yesterday I listened to Dr Ellie Philips explain that increased stress levels increase the acidity of saliva. Makes sense that the finely tuned biochemistry of the human body could react differently at different times due to external circumstances to the same food in some people.

Eating beef, butter, bacon, and eggs on a regular basis for the last year very low carbohydrate. My blood pressure has normalized. My cardiologist explained that bacon is high in nitrates and nitrates lower blood pressure.
I get so weak tired sore and zero muscle glycogen when I do keto. It does help me cut and enjoy the intermittent fasting while doing it and curving the hunger. I just can’t get get booted up with energy on keto I just get weak
Hihi, why don't you try around 100 grams of carbs a day? Whole food carbs. For me I don't like many keto foods when I eat them too much. I don't like butter and grease, I don't like bacon and I don't like meat with nothing on the side.
For me I get best out of both worlds on 100 grams of carbs.

I was doing a keto paleo mix cuisine easily and successfully for 2 years with once a week fastung. Then after my 2nd mandated jab my body swelled up. Then came sugar attacks and rabidly gained 35 lbs became type 2 diabetes put on several T2D meds but A1C still went up to 10. I am fear needles but my Dr said if i dont try the injectables now i will become Type 1 and have to takes needles several times a day forever. In her office did 1st injectable. Then 1 month later A1C down to 8 and burned off 6 lbs. So tritated up in 2nd month, no more attacks, i am using the weekly injectable to train my body back to keto paleo, so when my A1C is normal again i can stop the meds.
One thing about calories in / calories out -- your stomach and intestines digest things differently depending on what you eat first and how much fiber you eat. So, the calorie in/calories expended people should think about how the stomach/intestines work.
Another thing about CICO, you can’t accurately measure calories in (labels can be off +-20%) and it’s impossible to measure calories out. Please explain how you can measure calories out. You would need a bomb calorimeter and be in a lab to measure calories.
Measuring mass in/mass out is a way better means. Watch Bart kays videos where he very much debunks the CICO.
A couple of things said make me critical of this person's opinion.
He said he is against moderation personally.
He said he lost a lot of weight when cutting out carbs.
Suggests to me he had a poor diet to start with, probably shoveling all kinds of stuff. So we can't extrapolate that as a best fit to everyone.
Personally I have good control over my carbs. I know which cause fat gain, which don't, and am good at cycling them as needed to prepare for different exercises.
I stated flex seeds & chia seeds. Ala is converted to omega 3s. Quicker if no animal omega3s.
taurine to prevent seizures?????
Mixing your cherries with whole fat plain yogurt would lower your glucose spike 💕

Enjoyed the discussion, and good to hear Dr. Amen's positive commenmts about Keto. BUT, DISAPPOINTED, DID NOT SEE WHAT HAPPENED TO Dr. AMEN'S BRAIN ON KETO!!! Did I miss it?
I believe he mentioned it the effects it had on him more focused, no hunger etc…
I am interested in the good doctor’s diet. If he wasn’t doing keto, there’s only one thing left which by the way carnivore is keto. People use keto like they use the word Kleenex. Kleenex could be the storebrand an off brand. But it’s the same thing. At any rate, was he eating wheat? Was he eating sugar? Was he eating junk food was he eating fructose?. For a health guy how is he not doing a version of the ketogenic diet?
My son’s doctor put him on a plant based diet because his cholesterol was a little high. That was two months ago and he not only feels better but his cholesterol has come down. In addition he did eliminate processed foods and sugar as well.
Plant based isn't sustainable long term, it was the elimination of sugar that helped him, not removing meat
I. have been following you two amazing people lately. I feel better on a much lower carb diet but I seem to feel ill and can't stay on it. Maybe just need to eat more? Hey, I love those frozen blueberries Dr. Amen.
Sometimes I just think I never actually was doing keto before and anybody who claims to do it isn't really doing it, they're just staying away from sugar and grain and sweet fruits. The successful ones are the ones who didn't overdo it on the animal fats. but at that point having an orange or some whole wheat toast, or some oats or potatoes every now and then isn't going to wreck the protocol, because it's not really the ketones that make it work, at least from a weight loss focus, to curb epilepsy or other things, that's different.
Great info. Thanks🎉
I’m vegan gluten dairy free with no weight issues. In fact I can eat as much as I want and stay skinny. What I cannot tolerate or digest is meat. It not only smells nasty but I’m opposed to eating animals with a digestive system. I eat mostly fruits and vegetables along with nuts, seeds, olive oil, flax, chia, avocado. I have tons of energy and think clearly.
Grains, nuts, seeds, legumes have phytic acid, fermenting or soaking overnight removes it. Nuts and seeds should not be heated, nor should olive oil.
makes me wonder what kind of impact butter alternatives have had on the general population.. margarine tastes great but lacks the goodness of natural animal fats
Increased cardiovascular disease at a minimum, margarine is toxic
Margarine is poison.

No need to count calories if carnivore. Satiety will not allow you to over eat, and you will lose weight (fat)
For me the problem with keto is the sleep. I sleep 5 hours max.
This has been my greatest challenge!
I never slept any better eating Keto either..
No way!!! I just read 4 of his books this past month
Thank you!
Bipolar is due to gluten which hurts the gut lining so less nutrients absorb like Li and other minerals etc.. Seizures maybe due to gluten/dairy/soy/sugar etc.. Vaccines may add to seizures. Keto is low gluten and different kind of fuel for the brain/body.
Just loved this video! Do you have a plant-based menu for keto?
If I don’t track my calories, I over eat. I always think I’m eating less than I really am.
So my mind and mood feels amazing, absolutely amazing, the day AFTER I eat a huge amount of beef fat or bacon fat. (Zero carb or almost zero carb). I do not experience this benefit after eating a lot of butter. I've experimented several times. I don't know why butter doesn't do the same for me.
Thomas, could you please do a video comparing the philosophies of Ray Peat, Morley Robbins, the keto diet, and the carnivore diet? There seems to be such polarized opinions and I’m over here going crazy. Thank you!
I absolutely love keto. Not eating it now though. But staying at a decent lowcarb diet and it's working well. My only questiis.. when I started keto, my thyroid has gone bonkers. I used to have Hypothyreos, now it has turned in to hyperthyroidism and I'm sensitive to iodine which is unusual. I suspect it may or may not be due to the ketogenic diet but a very stressful part of my life. Ketogenic diet helped me take the problems with ease though. Due to it made me very positive. Even at the emergency room I was happy and chitter chatty although my legs didn't carry me. But I have a hard time to relax and unwind with my thyroid. My blood sugar is pretty ok nowadays anyways. So I don't eat strict keto anymore.
10:30. I disagree with his diet identity thing. I'm not my diet. I have to restrict food that doesn't work for me. Eg carbs that keep me insulin resistant or ocalates that don't agree with me. Some people cling to vegetarian because of religion or they feel better. I don't hate them for it.
Dr Amen looks so healthy and fit
Quality IS important. The only quantity limits on the Carnivore Diet are full satiety.
I'm starting to like keto. I think I do a bit too much protein but I'm doing a cut and have heard higher protein is good for that. That could be total hogwash. Ideally I'd love to eat keto macros. When I make my eggs with sausage and bacon and cheese and spinach it naturally comes out to keto calories. I don't mind losing a bit of muscle on my cut because I get it back so easily. We will see how things progress. But I def like keto
Not sure why, however every time I ate the “Keto” way nothing positive happened for me. I didn’t sleep any better, mental health the same, and not always good, no noticeable weight loss, although I’m not overweight, and my A1C went up, as well as, my cholesterol and bad fat markers went up in ten months tested twice. I was told that folks in their 50’s and 60’s should not do Keto…only good for younger population. Now I’ve read results from people in their 60’s and older having good results. I’ve got to wonder why it’s not working for me…🥴
You probably were not actually in ketosis. It’s actually very difficult for some people (especially middle-aged plus women). If you do a water fast of at least 24 hours and then just eat eggs, avocados, meat or fish for the next 24 hours that should put you in ketosis - but the minute you hit the bread, rice etc you’ll come straight out again.

Exactly.
As a 4 year Hyper Carnivore and Saturated Fat Hunter, I commend you on trailblazing the MEDITERRANEAN KETO DIET! RESULTS OVER DOGMA!
Can you recommend a reliable site to help me develop my own keto diet?
Thanks Thomas
My highs and lows are gone. I've been CARNIVORE for 4 years. I am a different person. Sometimes I can't believe how calm I am.
It's to know what to believe these days, as it changes on weekly, if not daily basis.
No more OVER eating, no more napping and drowsiness . Mind is sharp. At 57
why do people get angry about diets... it's not just tribalism. When a diet gets huge it genuinely changes what's at your local store and how things are priced.
Most "keto friendly" products at my local grocery store aren't really keto, and they have sketchy ingredients. Overpriced junk food.
Thomas tends to agree with whoever he is talking to.
Of course. He speaks with people who's message is congruent with his. Science is his thing.
@@helenahandkart1857 Uh, no. He also seemed to agree a lot with Gilbert Gottfried (or whatever that CICO guy is who sounds like him... Greg Doucette or something)? The guests are often very different, and the science is far from settled on any of this.
He’s still the fat kid who wants everyone to like him
That was great Thomas
will try it
There are two schools of thought in CICO. One looks at nothing but calories. I know a guy like that who sometimes posts on social media and only gets 50-60g of protein daily and usually finishes off with fast food or cookies. Then there's the crowd more into macros and strength training. They'll say you can eat 1,400 of junk calories but then you'll have to make the remaining 800 (or whatever). count. So they'll eat almost nothing but tuna, chicken breast and whey powder to make up protein deficit--and maybe take a fiber supplement. I don't like either one, though the latter crowd makes a little more sense. I find CICO too limiting and find that I cheat too often and berak my calorie limit with late night snacks.
Do you really have to resort to the clickbait titles, now 😂
