I need insulin injections to stay alive because my pancreas produces almost no insulin. Sometimes, I take an insulin injection and my blood sugar goes from the mid-100s to over 300, without consuming ANY carbs or protein. Your video explains perhaps why this happens. The body is protecting itself from the fast-acting Novolog insulin injection by releasing Glucagon/Glycogen to quell the rapid insulin influx, which makes the blood sugar rise up quite rapidly. I was injecting even more Novolog to stop the sudden rise, but it only made it rise even more, sometimes to 400 or higher. It's taken me 29 years as a Type-1 to figure this out, thanks in part to your video. Thank you.
57yo male here, after 50 years of eating sugar all day and feeling like shi* all the time I went keto 5 months ago. I am now finally feeling my body beginning to adapt and convert to fat burning. I feel relaxed, clear mind, strong, confident, and have never felt so good. Moderate exercise has been a big part of it. And It's all due to Dr. Berg, Thank You
Over 70 in age requirement for protein is higher than the younger ages - IF you are a “senior”, don’t let your muscles weaken by cutting back on protein (like I did, age 72) on the keto diet!!!! Im still trying to build back!!!!
The balance between insulin and glucagon helps provide enough energy for cells while preventing nerve damage that can result from persistently high blood sugar levels.
Thankyou Dr Berg for all your content. I’ve been binging over your RUclips videos over the last month or so and have learnt a great deal more about keto and IF. We are inundated with often contradictory definitions of what’s healthy these days including the ‘truths’ instilled in us growing up (which are inadvertently redundant thinking now) I am super grateful that there are professionals like you who prioritise growth through research and experience, and constantly spread your knowledge, noting that most doctors i come across to this day operate from a treat the symptoms paradigm over finding the root problem and prevention… not to mention know next to nothing about nutrition. Just wanted to say thankyou.
You are amazing! Thank you for putting your time and energy into explaining things. I feel like you have a passion for nutrition and it comes through in the videos. Your appreciation for nutrition helps trigger my appreciation nutrition and all the complexities.
2 years ago while on holidays I was eating within a 12 hours window with a big breakfast (for what I'm used to but mostly fruit, muesli and almond milk ) and big dinner and lost weight. Actually after dinner I had to go for a walk as I was very full. And by no means I was hungry at 8.30am the next day! When I got home and stepped on the scale I went "ok, let's see how much did I gain". Why did I lose weight? No snacks, more protein and almost no sweets (the food at the hotel was great and was filling up on that while the desserts weren't and had no sweet tooth while there ). The exercise was just walking, some days 10000 steps. It was great someone else doing the cooking, I do miss that!..
Would love to hear more about this and explain the picture about what happens with these two hormones in the situation of prediabetes and also diabetes. also, what about when a person has a history of like hypoglycemia which I did before the years of high cortisol and getting into this pre-diabetic, fatty liver, autoimmune Etc situation
Just an adendum: And I recommend tons of water and avoid coffee. Try to keep your body in motion, let's say, each 25 mins. Stand up, go to another room, go to see your Kids, go to see som três and listen birds, get out of every single "stress looping", break that, as much as you can.
I'm guessing he said moderate fat because some people think they can eat unlimited bacon on the keto diet. Although my friend ate high fat and still lost almost 100 lbs.
@@janicep1508 if you make the other macros low and moderate then one of them must be high. our body can recycle proteins and can make glucose from different substrates. however we can't recycle energy so unless your goal is to lose weight [that mean create a calorie deficit] then your fat must be higher than the other macros. but if I were you I don't follow a calorie deficit diet instead do IF and sometimes a prolonged fasting.
Dr Berg can you please educate the blood sugar levels and ketone measures. When I do intermittent fasting my blood sugar is low and ketone is close to 2mmol. Still feel ok. Not hungry. Please explain. Not diabetic. Trying to be healthy and loose belly fat.
Do we know exactly when glucagon is triggered by exercise? If I get my heart rate to say 135-140 then stop exercise will that spike glucagon or do I have to keep at it for "X" amount of minutes?
I saw a Thomas Delauer video on this and he said protein triggers insulin but significantly glucagon more so the ratio is high in glucagons favour. I'd like to know the answer to this as well. Also, how much protein is moderate?
What I want to know is why all. Dr I have been bringing my client to Drs they are all diabetics, I never heard these things. Thank you for Dr Berg and people in comments
Question: If your on a Keto and Time restricted eating diet but not to loose weight (I'm not overweight),,, but just for better health. Then would the Insulin spike that you get from a bit to much protein be a big issue? Thanks Eric.
So when fasting , insulin is low but glucagon is high. So the pancreas is not stressed to produce insulin but is stressed to produce glucagon. So why is this better? We are still overworking the pancreas.
Dear doc i weighed around 105 kgs and wanted to reduce my weight so I started a low carb diet after five days i measured my blood sugar after 2 hours of meal it was 92 and I started to loose weight but when I test blood sugar after every five days it started rising gradually 97 , 108 , 111 and 113 by today I lost 7 kgs and weigh 98 kgs by now but I am afraid that am I moving towards prediabetic sugar levels should I stop my low carb diet and start consuming calories Please reply doctor you are my only hope
Would love to see a discussion with dr. Ted Naiman about the PE diet. And specific about the recommended protein intake. So what is wisdom, moderate protein or not ? I am confused. And what happends with fat intake in the absense of an insuline spike? They body will do something with this energy I presume, not wast it. Wil the lipids appear after a while in the bloodstream? Can they be stored without insuline to open the cells ? That is also confusing..
Insulin is storage hormone Glucogan is sugar burning hormone what insulin stored .... Both are Reciprocal to each other During fasting glucogan relased ....and insulin is in down phase So stored gluocogen get breaks for glucose released ....
I like "Love Good Fats" bars, especially the mint chocolate and lemon mousse flaour, btw they are expensive more than ever, but I still keep buying. They are so delious sometimes I can't just have one, so ends up 2 or 3. Eventhough they are Keto proved but still 50% fats, 50%of carbs, less than 2g of sugar. Worst part I guess is they contain "Whey protein isolates" which spikes insulin. Yesterday I had 4, (why? since I didn't eat any other carbs feel hungry but I do eat a big salad) consequences are, I didn't sleep well at all and have to get up 4:30 am to drink a glass of apple cider vinegar water to counter that effect.
Thanks for this video. Please can you do a video about spleen, functions, food to support it, etc... Very rare topic. Actually this question came to my mind after looking for some recipe how to cook it. Maybe also - is it good as a food and what good things it contains?
Hello. We will add this to our video suggestion list. For now, let us share what information that we have about spleen: ruclips.net/video/kiXbC0L-e4g/видео.html -Dr. Berg's Support Team
Still, what i'm curious about is how can you survive basically 2 months without eating anything? So i'm guessing for like a week or 2 your blood sugars are gonna be fine, so somehow your body although it cannot store amino acids or glycerol but it still keeps it around to balance your blood sugars? The rest clear from now but is that how it works, or is there some other mechanism?
Dr Berg, I thank you for this video and all of your videos, i never purposely eat sugar yet it appears my insulin seems to stay about 80’s to 90’s. Even when I fast and drink coffee with stevia stimulates insulin.
I think he’s said in a past video, ‘small amounts of coffee in the morning won’t trigger insulin, but any added ingredients do’ You can have some cream but no monk fruit sweetener, stevia, coconut oil, etc
MSG = Monosodium glutamate??? Dr. Berg is certainly one of the very best teachers, but when you throw in a three letter abbreviation like MSG, then telling what it means may be helpful; at least for someone as ignorant as me :)
The One System in my Body that Works Very Well ~ Is ~ Gluconeogenisis. Yet no one every believed me when I told them I wasn't eating sugar and Very LOW Carbs..... Also eating lots of meat can cause bone spurs or spondilosis. I stoped high meat consumption, started high Magnesium and K2 and all my bone spures and protutions disappeared.
Dr. Berg, have you ever made a video on "going on a Fat Only Diet"? Just fats, no veggies, no protein. Let's say Fats Only +vitamins and minerals. *What would happen in the body?* _Could there be benefits to switch from a Healthy Keto+IF diet to a Fat Only+IF diet, for a few weeks?_ I guess...there would be weight loss. Now the fats would be olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil, cod fish oil, maybe MCT and maybe some nut oils? I don't quite think it's a very good idea to eat animal fats without veggies and protein, at least not pork fat. Beef, lamb and chicken/poultry fats are more digestible than pork fat-and the digestion might be a problem on a Fat Only Diet.....or not? If you are Fat Adapted, it should be easy/easier? Maybe one could get by on 100g/100ml of cod fish oil a day and nothing else? And that's just shy of 900kcal from only fat. I say 100ml as 200ml seems a lot, and might be hard to "stomach" but then 200ml cod fish oil is just 1,800kcal. One should probably have 100ml or more of fats a day anyhow. I'm "gunna do my own research" and give it a try.
What a clear explanation! Many people still don't understand the importance of healthy keto, fasting, resistance exercise, deep sleep and meditation.

Better
Keto diet is higher in protein, you only cut carbs to trigger ketosis to fat burn.
The balance between insulin and glucagon helps provide enough energy for cells while preventing nerve damage that can result from persistently high blood sugar levels.
I like how he explains things in a deeper level, we audience are much knowdge absorbent than he think!😊

No Carb + moderate Protein + moderate Fat + lot of leafy greens = my life now a days....
It should be high fat
Low to no carb, low to moderate protein and high fat. And eat unlimited amount of dark green leafy vegetables. Here ya go, I fix it for you.

Please interview Ben Bikman on insulin to glucagon ratio. Where in breaking a fast and you are on low carb, eating protein will not spike insulin
When you eat lean protein you will spike insulin, so you need to add fat to it, to lessen the spike.
@@lindajackson5866
Based on research. If you eat protein in low carb fasted state, protein will not increase your insulin
I saw a Thomas Delauer video on this and he said protein triggers insulin but significantly glucagon more so the ratio is high in glucagons favour. I'd like to know the answer to this as well.
Also, how much protein is moderate?

Can I assume as a type 1 diabetic, I would need to reduce glucagon on a keto diet? To keep blood glucose levels normal and not to high.
Good
Agree, so accessible
It's amazing that the mainstream nutritionists have still not worked out these simple facts. Still stuck on the CICO model.
Then i could eat how much milk’s cream? High fat, medium protein low carb
So when fasting , insulin is low but glucagon is high. So the pancreas is not stressed to produce insulin but is stressed to produce glucagon. So why is this better? We are still overworking the pancreas.

Wonder where lipase is involved in this
They don’t call it hormone sensitive lipase without a reason , lipase activated when insulin goes below some level.
Do gluconeogenesis (availability of new suger/ glucose from fat or protein ) stimulates insulin and breaks fast??
Would love to see a discussion with dr. Ted Naiman about the PE diet. And specific about the recommended protein intake. So what is wisdom, moderate protein or not ? I am confused. And what happends with fat intake in the absense of an insuline spike? They body will do something with this energy I presume, not wast it. Wil the lipids appear after a while in the bloodstream?

How about people on strict CARNIVORE diet due to health and sensitivities
Insulin is storage hormone
Glucogan is sugar burning hormone what insulin stored ....
Both are Reciprocal to each other
During fasting glucogan relased ....and insulin is in down phase
So stored gluocogen get breaks for glucose released
