This guy can talk. I mean, talk well. Doesn’t over use words, doesn’t say ‘like’ all the time. Doesn’t um and ah. Just says what he needs to say, economically, with authority and clarity. A rare thing on RUclips!
He uses pauses instead. And for similar reasons. Studies of speech patterns and audience attention show that umm and ah both function in speech to draw attention to the next thing the speaker says. As do pauses. If any speaker prattled on without pauses or um or ah, they would be so boring or info dumping dull that they would be unlistenable.
Not sure why your comment bothers me so much ; watching health information videos to avoid hearing “like and um” makes you seem less intelligent than you think you look online . There are so many people that use that in their vocabulary and share extremely rich information
CONCLUSION In this video, Dr. Ben Bickman discusses insulin resistance, its effects on fat loss, and how insulin inhibits lipolysis. He stresses controlling carbohydrate intake, prioritizing protein, and including healthy fats for improved metabolic health, while advocating for structured fasting to optimize insulin levels.
I just wonder if the people with the highest quality of life that is lived, with the greatest longevity through out Asian countries laugh at the redundant videos on RUclips about what is healthy and what isn't? Has America not figured this out yet? Have we forgotten how we mocked Asian countries on what they eat? Hmmm ever heard of blue zones? Ever heard Japan is the number 1 in the world 🌎?
@@mikebradshaw8530 America hasn't figured it out because "Big Food" has brainwashed us to believe everything on the grocery store shelves is healthy for us or it wouldn't be there. Big Food is also in the FDA's back pocket. The FDA, as a beginning, should have banned high fructose corn syrup years ago like Australia and several other countries. Also, America had Ancel Keys to muck our collective health.

The way he validates Thomas, who is also incredibly smart, is so respectable. I just love when he gets excited by a question and then expresses how great it is! Great interview!
I would love to see an entire podcast devoted to so-called Hidden MSGs/Glutimates that spike your insulin levels 300% or more. I believe they are the elephant in the room that nobody can see that is the root cause of our obesity and diabetes epidemic. The problem is so many sound so innocent or healthy. As a person with an MSG allergy I get blinding headache, vomiting and more but of the millions who don't get the headaches they may get eye floaters or have inflamed bowels or other issues which are just caused by the very same thing, inflammation. All of these inflammation issues are like the very same balloon only blown up to higher or lower levels causing the corresponding issues. Dr. Berg on this platform has a great video about hidden MSGs. They include familiar ingredients like MSG, Monosodium GLutimate, hydrolized proteins, textured prtiens, dextros, maltodextrin, paprika extract, cultured celery powder, and one of my favorites is "Vegetable Broth". You can be certain this particular vegetable broth comes in 55 gallon containers with hazard labels printed on it. If it causes blinding headaches it isn't like a vegetable broth your mother used to make. It is like calling Russian Vodka potato broth or calling dark soy sauce vegetable broth. Yes it is made with soybeans fermented but it spikes your insulin levels and gives many people a blinding headache. I get horrific headaches from most canned tuna so I have to seek out the one or two hard to find brands that truly only have tuna and salt and perhaps olive oil. I paid big money for super premium brands that only contain Tuna, Salt and "Vegetable Broth" and got a blinding migraine, vomiting etc. You might think its a curse to have such a violent reaction to such a common ingredient but it may be a blessing because people who only get lesser symptoms might keep on eating it and thereby shorten their lives.
I was wondering when you would get Ben on. I never miss anything he soeaks on. I always learn something more when i hear him. Nobody knows more about this subject than him. Thanks Thomas!
Loved this. I’m a new fan of Dr Bikman. And thanks Thomas for the great interview and letting him speak uninterrupted. Tom Bilyeu would have cut him off several hundred times. One thing that I always wondered about, and I’m glad that Thomas asked around the 43:00 minute mark… and I recently heard in the clearest, most concise way, so I’ll add: “If calories are reduced in the absences of insulin, fat will decrease. If calories are reduced in the presence of insulin, metabolism will decrease”. A major reason for no reunion shows of Biggest Loser.
Thank you so much for this interview. As a Type 1 Diabetic I didn't understand why I was storing belly fat even though I lifted weights 5 days a week. Tried talking to my endocrinologist because I felt something more was going on. No Help and was left on my own. On an insulin pump and CGM and not a lot of glucose spikes but I begin to pay attention to how much insulin was being delivered each day to keep those spikes at bay and was that contributing to my challenge. Along came this interview. 🙂
I don’t eat fruit only at Christmas and some other celebrations. I occasionally have a berry bowl with cream as a dessert. I would NOT tell people eat fruit regularly, certainly not every day. My triglyceride to HDL ratio is 0.38 which is brilliant (it’s supposed to be under 1.5). Also in terms of cancer prevention, avoid daily fruit intake. Max once per week. Eat you veggies, eggs, cheese, fats, meat and other healthy protein and fat sources. ❤🎉
Probably one of the best guest and video you’ve done Thomas. I watched until the very last second and played back sections several times to ensure I grasped the concepts discussed. Great job keeping your comments down and just stepping in to guide the conversation while letting Dr. Bikman fully explain the science.
This is the one thing that 99% of the fitness/health/doctors all overlook that I keep telling people they need to control. It's not calories, it's insulin. Control the master hormone levels and you control your health and your weight.
@@GerardoHernandezF87M2, not all calories are built equal. Only those foods that generate glucose in the final breakdown impact Insulin. Say in a keto diet, with the same calories, insulin might not spike as much
That's because Most doctors hardly know annnnny of this information, as next to none of it is taught in medical schools. The Sick'care' industry doesn't want us to be Healthy, as that's not good for the $$$$bottom line$$$$. Instead, that fcuuuuked up system wants us to alllllllways be UNhealthy, but still able to be kept alive in order to continue to squeeze $$$$money$$$$ out of us.
I’m a physician…I see hospitalized patients that have had orthopedic trauma or need neurosurgery. Their caloric and macro needs are immense and these are metabolically unwell patients for the most part. A brief conversation outside of any norm, can be helpful. There is very little evidence that ANY metabolic, nutritional, and endocrinologic education is occurring, even with dietician consults. Also, most dieticians and nutritionists have been fired or retired, and endocrinologists are double or triple booked in clinic. And they are dealing with highly advanced diseases and rarely practice this sort of personalized and detailed approach. Keep in mind, this is not a comprehensive discussion. This wonderful talk is a highly detailed look at a particular and dominant metabolic arm of physiology. It’s so important to hear these talks but also important to understand their role and applications in improving health and knowledge of the body. If a change to patient and public education is desired, the only way is to get rid of the dominant control of corporate systems that dominate education, regulation, and the optimization of patient care for maximum reimbursement from insurance companies who want to optimize their retention of monetary profits from policies. There is no role or system of education, analysis, or treatment in the current paradigm of health and disease care. That’s the source of why people don’t get this kind of attention on health.
@@djn1822 Thank you for your reply, I am just waking up to the fact that the US medical system is not built to heal and prevent issues, but to treat symptoms with a pill. Preferably one with a high profit margin. I never used to be this jaded, just ignorant. Now tht I have been asking my Dr's questions the tone has changed. I see why people go overseas and to LATAM for medical care. There the regs are not what they are here and from what I hear the Drs have the time to explain why you are on a protocol and what to expect from it. At this point I am paying more for medical insurance and getting less from it. The 12-15 min lab and med check will not get me to where I want to go but I have not options ATM.
Glued to my screen the whole interview. Will watch again and heading to find other Dr. Bikman interviews. Thank you both so much.

Great interview, Thomas! You asked all the questions I always wanted to ask Ben Bikman. Great questions! And of coutse, great answers. You've earned me back as a subscriber, since I stoped follwing you after you had Jill Michaels on your channel.
I am learning that estrogen makes a difference in insulin resistance. I can’t clean my diet any more. It’s perfect. My glucose remains high in the morning, cortisol stays high & my a1c honestly should be in the 4’s because my only carbs are salads & low carb vegetables. No seed oils. No alcohol. No artificial sweeteners or chemicals. It’s good at 5.4 but SHOULD be lower. I am post menopause. Dr Gersh explains that lack of estradiol, we go haywire. Not just a sex hormone, but the “everything “ hormone
Love Dr Bikman. He is funny, personable, humble, erudite, and has better understanding of people than most clinicians. Thank you both for the interview.
Thank you both. So much great content - smart questions from Thomas and awesome Ben Bikman explanations as usual. So much packed in I'll need to watch it a few times
I know he is talking about Type 2 diabetics. I became a Type 1, yes t1, diabetic at age 41, about 9 years after a parvovirus B19 infection. The absolute rank ignorance doctors, even endocrinologists, have about diet and nutrition is stunning. My doctors just told me to bolus for carbs. Don’t change my diet, just shoot up. I wish a doctor had told me at the very beginning to focus on fat and protein and eliminate or significantly restrict carbs. I did all the research and experienced all the stuff with pinging numbers. And I have gone through the diabetes fatigue and frustration because our food culture is SO carb focused that it is hard to shift. I did carb restriction and shifted to heavy cream in my coffee and much higher % of dietary fat and my HDL and LDL cholesterol did go up. But my endo wanted to put me on statins even though my triglycerides were below 60. It’s so tiring. I need to go back to eggs, bacon, beef, avocados, and cream.
Thank you for getting back on track. When you had Paul Saladino on claiming someone could eat 200 carbs a day and honey, I lost faith in the message you were trying to get across.
Wow, I have followed both of you for a long time. Thomas, thank you for asking the questions that really drill down to how to treat fat. I have been trying to get this from several really good online Health hackers hackers. This interview really hit the mark
My “whole food” meal plan is FREE. Teaches how to eat for fat loss, muscle building and longevity. www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood - consider it my “thank you” for subscribing to my channel and newsletter!
48:33 I do the opposite. I can go about my day hungry no problem. But will never fall asleep even if I am just slightly hungry or have a little bit of a craving. I have tried skipping dinner altogether, but I always end up not sleeping at all. Whereas if I skip any other meal, but eat dinner, I have zero problems falling asleep. Same with cabs. If I crave carbs and I don't eat them at dinner, I will not sleep even for one second that night.
Have you checked your Vitamin B levels? I also have suffered from the same and gave in. However, there is a way to get around this and it requires a lot of determination. I started to take a Vitamin B complex, did more frequent exercise and took antiacids. I have even fasted for 72 hours ( rolling fasts) and managed to have good sleep. The final trick is taking a melatonin pill (3-6 mg) on difficult days.
@@Phoenixpapagei Do I need to get around this? I still don't see a problem eating late in the day, especially if that's what I feel I need, and if I must take antacids and melatonin. I haven't checked my vitamin B levels, but I feel I have an OK intake - for the last week on average I've eaten: B1 2 mg, B2 2.7 mg, B3 32.3 mg, B5 7.8 mg, B9 250 µg, B12 6.6 µg. That's not counting the multivitamins I also take. I have 7 or 8 exercise sessions per week. I could maybe increase them, but how would this make me eat less carbs in the evenings, and more carbs in the mornings?
@@CharlesOffdensen In my family there is a history of diabetes, and this is why I am extra careful about carbs in the evening/ night. From what I have read in the research papers, by the evening/night you won't be able to process carbs the same way as during the morning or the middle of the day( growth hormone/ cortisol related). It also often happens that when you get a drop in the insulin levels you get hungry, so idk 😶. It's tricky but if you are happy and healthy, then everything is fine.
@@PhoenixpapageiThat's right, too much fat and not enough carbs likely leads to malnutrition and dependence on supplementation (which also comes in a box with a barcode)
Great and super informative discussion! as they always are with Dr. Bikman. I'm 67 and run a 8-16 IF schedule all the time and have for years. I eat ketovore between 7am and 3pm which gives a nice long fasting period before sleep. Exercise hard every day, no fat left to lose, just trying to keep/build muscle. Never feel hungry, CGM stays nice and steady with rapid response/recovery to a carb bolus.
Great explanation of consuming protein with fat. As the muscle cells gets bigger, there’s also need for the good fat to go in the membrane which will grow as the whole cell grows.
Your thoughts: My experience and research as a masters sprint athlete suggests that there's a requirement for higher dietary fat to aid muscle protein synthesis in older people, including sports competitors - Total Health Matrix
OK. I am not insulin resistant, and following several months of lower carb eating, my insulin dropped from 18 to 8, my HA1C from 5.7 to 5.6, but my triglycerides are still high and I remain at a plateau of 174 lb. I tried the 2MAD (with tweaks) promulgated by Ben Azadi, with ZERO change over 4 months. In fact, my belly got bigger, despite body comp results showing fat loss and addition of muscle. I concluded the problem is cortisol (I’m a 74 yo woman who works out), so I quit the IF. I only want to get down to about 140: I’m a singer and need to maintain a certain mass. I’m trying to substitute muscle for fat. I am on HRT, and weight work does enable me to gain muscle. I don’t have any interest in being a tiny little thing, but I really would like to get rid of my out-of-proportion belly. I am 5’2”.
Try fasting for 48 hours at a time, ideally every week. Once you get used to it you’ll feel amazing and the weight will start to come off. Also try ditching all carbs and stick to animal products with the occasional condiment or avocado
This guy is too smart for me. I can't really digest everything he's said, so I'll ask this basic question. If I burn 2000 calories a day on average, can I consume 3000 calories/day and still burn body fat, so long as those calories are no carb/low carb? Will by body excrete those extra calories rather than storing them as fat since there's no insulin to carry them into the cell? I've never heard ANYBODY directly answer that question definitively. If the answer is yes, that's a gamechanger, and nutrition departments at universities need to close up shop, because they obviously don't know anything. If the answer is no, then I don't know why any of this matters.
I read Dr.Atkin's New Diet Revolution in the year 2001. Changed my life. All the studies since are just confirming what a genius he was, in spite of the limited research at the time. More credit should be given to him. Great talk Dr. Bikman, everything spot-on, and keep it up.☺
I LOVE how he gave his best sample day in the life with this dieting advice. Breakfast: fasting for ketones Lunch: admissible carbs Dinner: avoid carbs But I still have a follow up question: When is the best time for exercising with this plan? Is it immediately after eating the carbs to regulate the hyperglycemia, or would it be best to exercise after insulin has reset (1-2 hours after)? Between meals? Or after dinner?
finally! what took you so long ???? :)) Happy to see Dr Bikman on your show! The biggest takeaway from this conversation, as I do not have to stuggle with insulin, is to take fat with the protein shake.... In the future I will mix in some spoons of ghee into the shake !
I have spent a lot of time in Asia in the past 7 years. They are thinner but diabetes is running ramped in that culture. So it make since about the fat cells
American fatness is because Americans eat gluttonously and walk less. The reason for Asian insulin resistance 100% is abundant rice availability compared to thousands of years before while the physical farm work or hunting / gathering is gone. so rice consumption is too much per day total that does not match the life being led. And seed oils in all meals. So the answer is eliminate seed oils. Live farm life or exercise/sports life or lower the rice intake but still walk and lift at least the minimum for your body.
@simplehealthyliving4681 asians have been eating rice for thousands of years and diabetes is a recent issue they are having. So, I wouldn't say it's rice consumption. Poor people are still eating natural home cooked meals but wealthier eat more and more processed foods. That's where the problem is, imo.
I am not sure I would totally agree with you. The life expectancy has got from 40 to 50 to the 70s today. Most of the diabetes type 2 comes into play in their early 50s. The rice today is also heavily genetically altered and not the same as it was 100 ago. It's true there are other factors, but I think rice is playing a big part of it.
@@NinoNlkklI mentioned the why. Here *abundant rice availability compared to thousands of years before while the physical farm work or hunting / gathering is gone. so rice consumption is too much per day total that does not match the life being led.* The proportion of rice consumption is lopsided now. Too much easy rice availability and absence of farm life or hunter-gatherer life to use that energy from rice - not in accordance with the body's design. So insulin resistance. The insulin resistance happens first. It was clearly mentioned in the video. It is about insulin staying high first and foremost. The processed food part is less in Asia. You are looking at Asia from an American lens. Also seed oils in street food and home cooking. Rich or poor the answer is either farm life or exercise/sports with rice amount reduced, i.e. similar to labor and energy expended in the pre fertlizer based agriculture days (thousands of years). Otherwise there is no escape from insulin resistance.
@alansawesomeketoworld4612 that could be the factor as well. Genetically modified and pesticides. Speaking of pesticides, it seems to get worse. Processed wheat flour in the states are seen as very bad whereas Europeans don't seem to have issues with their products. I recently visited South korea and their food culture has changed a lot amongst younger generations. Their diabetes and cancer rates have rapidly gone on the rise.
I hope you're not referring to Layne Norton!? If you do you really need to do your homework. Layne is not a very smart guy. Bart Kay eats him up and spit him out every now and again. Layne Norton doesn't dare pick up the gauntlet Bart has thrown at him. Also, go listen to Don Layman, Layne's professor instead. He knows what he's talking about.
Higher Metabolic Rate & Lowering Insulin : 41:06 "As much as calories matter, my strong advice is start with the low insulin approach. You just control your carbs. Prioritize protein. Don't Fear The Fat that comes with that protein, and don't worry about the calories because, if you correct your insulin you will have a Higher Metabolic Rate ." Love Dr. Bikman. He is so clear. Prioritize protein with it's Fat and don't worry about the calories.
Gained 100 pounds researching the Internet deciphering information filtering through the nonsense. this is why I appreciate your site as well you’re straight forward and you filter through the nonsense. This gentleman has made a plan by not making a plan that fits life style and makes a lot of sense for longevity and combining fasting proteins and whole foods and intermittent fasting as a combination to long-term weight loss and regaining body composition. Excellent excellent excellent excellent information good job.
I honestly LOVE your channel Thomas! Your incites and knowledge, the professionals you interview, your a blessing! You have helped change my body and life! Thank-you 💪💪🏋♂🏋♂🙏🙏
Wild game is very lean. How our ancestors ate. They didn’t get a butter churn out when they harvested a deer. They also didn’t just eat the ribeye part of the animal.
I eat meats, fats and a little bit of veggies … I eat 3300 calories per day and I’m 105 lbs at 5’6 and I’m not gaining despite it being my goal. Now I know why 😊
The take away ways so very great! I too have a fear of altimerze and dementia. So my personal takeaway seems to be to go to bed hungry and focus on whole foods, high protein with fats.
Thanks Thomas! This was really helpful! I’m a big Layne Norton fan, so I am very comfortable with energy balance as a construct. However, I just lost my Grandmother to cancer this year, so I am more and more curious about fiddling with my macros to lower insulin. I got the new Stelo CGM and am learning so much about which foods have what kind of impact. Ben really helped marry the two constructs in a way that works for my gym girl brain! 😂
This is a good man, prioritizing dinner with his family is amazing..good on you! The information he shares is so valuable, go to his page and listen....it's free.
What a great video! I love when you get into the science of it and you made it totally understandable for the newbie. I’ve been researching how to keep my insulin levels low when it’s not my eating window. This talk will help me tremendously!
I think that the trend towards worse health outcomes is tied to the declaration in 1977 that saturated fat is evil. High carb, low or zero fat processed foods became a larger share of the average diet. There is also the recent work about a "new" essential fatty acid, pentadecanoic acid, that is found in full-fat dairy. The 1977 declaration that saturated fat is evil led to people consuming 2% fat milk or even non-fat milk with their processed breakfast cereal. And avoidance of cheese, cream, etc. Deficiency of pentadecanoic acid leads to weakness of the plasma (cell) membrane and a host of metabolic abnormalities.
Insulin Resistance & Diabetes is Magnesium Deficiency it even says so in medical literature even though they don’t treat with magnesium or even check magnesium on standard testing. It takes something like 46 magnesium molecules attached to sugar to metabolize it. Dr. Carolyn Dean talks about it in her book The Magnesium Miracle. I’ve heard all other kinds of things about insulin resistance and I’m not saying some of those issues don’t factor into insulin resistance but a lot of the low carb supporters don’t bring up magnesium and minerals and the bio electric connection in our bodies. If our bodies are deficient in nutrients such as magnesium and minerals then it’s going to have a trickle down affect of the metabolic processes. We aren’t getting enough magnesium or minerals from our foods like we were years ago. If someone is magnesium and mineral deficiency they are going to be more hungry because they aren’t getting what their body is craving. Add magnesium and minerals and it balances appetite.
Insomnia is very often a complaint of people on keto or carnivore who are eating very limited carbs at any time. Dr. Bikman talks about late day carbs causing insomnia. Since that's not the case with low carb diets, what other factor could you identify in keto or carnivore diets that could so often cause insomnia??? Please answer!
Electrolyte issues :3, Make sure you are getting enough magnesism and salt for 1. Also, make sure you do enough during the day to be proper tired. Your body is burning like a hybrid now and not a tractor trailer. Gotta use that energy.
Very interesting and informative video Thomas! Thanks for having Dr. Bikman on your channel. One of the most educational videos I've seen in a long time. Great work! Thanks Dr. Bikman!
@45:15 he says there has never been a study of hypercaloric comparison between high fat and high carb consumption. I beg to differ. There was a study of ONE by a gentleman in England who is a big fan of keto. Sorry don't recall his name. But it was in recent years and I believe he posted his results on YT. He did this study on himself. 30 days of each diet at I believe 3,000 calories per day. The high fat low carb diet was the clear winner as it did not promote weight gain while the high carb diet did profoundly, proving the type of calorie absolutely makes a difference.
I like that Ben didn’t go overboard and say avoid all carbs This was a very balanced view on carb intake versus demonizing them. You need carbs and insulin to thrive.
No you don’t. Carbs are completely non essential. The liver makes all the glucose you need from fat & protein. You can live healthily on just beef for the rest of your life. Protein is an essential nutrient.
He bagged on insulin and carbs the entire 52 minutes. But then said if his daughter wants pizza he will eat so to not make it weird. Where did he say anything close to carbs and insulin are needed to thrive? Did you even listen to this?
He didn't say you need carbs to thrive. He said if you aren't gonna avoid then keep it to whole fruits and veggies. Carbs is NOT essential. Your body makes the glucose it needs in the liver.
@@joshtaylor5766 Kevin wasnt even implying the guy said "carbs and insulin are needed to thrive" that was literally just Kevin's take. I swear the quickest argument against the carbless is seeing yall's brains smoke out in action, trying to hold basic human thought
Yeah it seems then it really doesn’t matter what you do. Except to go totally carnivore or starve yourself. You are either genetically lucky or screwed.😢
❓Dr Bikman, will you please study Lipedema ? ❤️ Or maybe you already know - how do we breakdown the fat out of the fat cells when they are encapsulated, as in Lipedema?? 👍 THANK YOU SO MUCH, Thomas & Dr. B ‼️
Finally, The last 5 years always saying most People who are Over Weight have issues with Metabolism So first You fix Your Insulin issues, by the most efficient way Possible & were You are not starving with hunger pains, You start by not eating 5 times a day and snaking, So You use IF eat in a Eating window of 8 hours or less, this will start to fix Your high insulin , Once the Dimmer switch has been going lower with your Insulin then You can maybe start to lower Your Calories. Yes try and keep Carbs low , try to eat Whole Foods and a lot of Protein.
@markmoore1042 Thanks! This is the first comment I came across so far that had something useful to say. thanks! Others are all blah blah blah flattery.
I did treeh moths of vegan organic keto plus if and I lost more than 30 kg and stop inflammation years ago. I cannot to do now becouse it's expensive. we all are different and I did because of ethical choices. now I am organic vegetarian and I have a husband that want me fat. @whowhy9023

Um, ah, like and stuff only serve to show the listener that the speaker doesn’t really know what they are saying!
Not sure why your comment bothers me so much ; watching health information videos to avoid hearing “like and um” makes you seem less intelligent than you think you look online . There are so many people that use that in their vocabulary and share extremely rich information

Right. Things we already know because of Thomas and other youtubers
And in healthy people, fruits and vegetables are OK. And try not to eat too much close to bed time for the purpose of helping the person to relax.

I believe they are the elephant in the room that nobody can see that is the root cause of our obesity and diabetes epidemic. The problem is so many sound so innocent or healthy.

If it causes blinding headaches it isn't like a vegetable broth your mother used to make. It is like calling Russian Vodka potato broth or calling dark soy sauce vegetable broth. Yes it is made with soybeans fermented but it spikes your insulin levels and gives many people a blinding headache. I get horrific headaches from most canned tuna so I have to seek out the one or two hard to find brands that truly only have tuna and salt and perhaps olive oil. I paid big money for super premium brands that only contain Tuna, Salt and "Vegetable Broth" and got a blinding migraine, vomiting etc. You might think its a curse to have such a violent reaction to such a common ingredient but it may be a blessing because people who only get lesser symptoms might keep on eating it and thereby shorten their lives.
This was so good I've watched it twice and bookmarked it for later. Fast to control insulin, prioritize protein and don't fear the fat.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Probably the most thorough explanation of insulin I’ve ever heard
I was wondering when you would get Ben on. I never miss anything he soeaks on. I always learn something more when i hear him. Nobody knows more about this subject than him. Thanks Thomas!
Loved this. I’m a new fan of Dr Bikman. And thanks Thomas for the great interview and letting him speak uninterrupted. Tom Bilyeu would have cut him off several hundred times. One thing that I always wondered about, and I’m glad that Thomas asked around the 43:00 minute mark… and I recently heard in the clearest, most concise way, so I’ll add: “If calories are reduced in the absences of insulin, fat will decrease. If calories are reduced in the presence of insulin, metabolism will decrease”. A major reason for no reunion shows of Biggest Loser.
Thank you so much for this interview. As a Type 1 Diabetic I didn't understand why I was storing belly fat even though I lifted weights 5 days a week. Tried talking to my endocrinologist because I felt something more was going on. No Help and was left on my own. On an insulin pump and CGM and not a lot of glucose spikes but I begin to pay attention to how much insulin was being delivered each day to keep those spikes at bay and was that contributing to my challenge. Along came this interview. 🙂
I don’t eat fruit only at Christmas and some other celebrations. I occasionally have a berry bowl with cream as a dessert. I would NOT tell people eat fruit regularly, certainly not every day. My triglyceride to HDL ratio is 0.38 which is brilliant (it’s supposed to be under 1.5). Also in terms of cancer prevention, avoid daily fruit intake. Max once per week. Eat you veggies, eggs, cheese, fats, meat and other healthy protein and fat sources. ❤🎉
Probably one of the best guest and video you’ve done Thomas. I watched until the very last second and played back sections several times to ensure I grasped the concepts discussed. Great job keeping your comments down and just stepping in to guide the conversation while letting Dr. Bikman fully explain the science.
This is it. The best concentration of all of the insulin resistance info, presented in such a clear and real way... and I've watched a lot of them.
I'm thinking that was probably the best interview I've seen on this channel so far. And that is while most are already great, imo.
Thanks!
This is the one thing that 99% of the fitness/health/doctors all overlook that I keep telling people they need to control. It's not calories, it's insulin. Control the master hormone levels and you control your health and your weight.
It’s calories, insulin enters the chat if you consistently eat too much calories
@@GerardoHernandezF87M2No, calories it is not. Insulin/glucose is the master of all mitochondria.
@@08turboSS it’s still a result of calories
He literally says in the video you need both.
@@GerardoHernandezF87M2, not all calories are built equal. Only those foods that generate glucose in the final breakdown impact Insulin. Say in a keto diet, with the same calories, insulin might not spike as much
Love Dr Ben Bickman's rants. He rants and connects the dots for us. Good interview. Thanks Thomas for listening and asking the right questions.
What a great guest. So hard to get personal DRs to talk about this in this kind of detail.
That's because Most doctors hardly know annnnny of this information, as next to none of it is taught in medical schools.
The Sick'care' industry doesn't want us to be Healthy, as that's not good for the
$$$$bottom line$$$$.
Instead, that fcuuuuked up system wants us to alllllllways be UNhealthy, but still able to be kept alive in order to continue to squeeze
$$$$money$$$$ out of us.
I’m a physician…I see hospitalized patients that have had orthopedic trauma or need neurosurgery. Their caloric and macro needs are immense and these are metabolically unwell patients for the most part. A brief conversation outside of any norm, can be helpful. There is very little evidence that ANY metabolic, nutritional, and endocrinologic education is occurring, even with dietician consults. Also, most dieticians and nutritionists have been fired or retired, and endocrinologists are double or triple booked in clinic. And they are dealing with highly advanced diseases and rarely practice this sort of personalized and detailed approach. Keep in mind, this is not a comprehensive discussion. This wonderful talk is a highly detailed look at a particular and dominant metabolic arm of physiology. It’s so important to hear these talks but also important to understand their role and applications in improving health and knowledge of the body.
If a change to patient and public education is desired, the only way is to get rid of the dominant control of corporate systems that dominate education, regulation, and the optimization of patient care for maximum reimbursement from insurance companies who want to optimize their retention of monetary profits from policies. There is no role or system of education, analysis, or treatment in the current paradigm of health and disease care. That’s the source of why people don’t get this kind of attention on health.
@@djn1822 Thank you for your reply, I am just waking up to the fact that the US medical system is not built to heal and prevent issues, but to treat symptoms with a pill. Preferably one with a high profit margin. I never used to be this jaded, just ignorant. Now tht I have been asking my Dr's questions the tone has changed. I see why people go overseas and to LATAM for medical care. There the regs are not what they are here and from what I hear the Drs have the time to explain why you are on a protocol and what to expect from it. At this point I am paying more for medical insurance and getting less from it. The 12-15 min lab and med check will not get me to where I want to go but I have not options ATM.
Glued to my screen the whole interview. Will watch again and heading to find other Dr. Bikman interviews. Thank you both so much.
Great interview, Thomas! You asked all the questions I always wanted to ask Ben Bikman. Great questions! And of coutse, great answers. You've earned me back as a subscriber, since I stoped follwing you after you had Jill Michaels on your channel.
I am learning that estrogen makes a difference in insulin resistance. I can’t clean my diet any more. It’s perfect. My glucose remains high in the morning, cortisol stays high & my a1c honestly should be in the 4’s because my only carbs are salads & low carb vegetables. No seed oils. No alcohol. No artificial sweeteners or chemicals. It’s good at 5.4 but SHOULD be lower. I am post menopause. Dr Gersh explains that lack of estradiol, we go haywire. Not just a sex hormone, but the “everything “ hormone
Love Dr. Bikman! Thanks Thomas for the collaboration
Yay! Interviewing the Insulin master! No one explains it as clearly as Bill
Been filling Thomas for so so many years…this is truly one of his best collaboration videos I’ve ever watched.
One of the best interviews ever. Dr Bikman is a global treasure.
To simplify, go carnivore, and you won't have to worry about carbohydrate. Spiking, insulin and being deficient, protein or fat
Do you buy your meat or harvest your own?
12 weeks in. You're right.
@@Michel-gb7glI do 🙌🙌🙌
Doesn't Thomas express that Carbs are important to and isn't low or no carbs a Keto diet?
@SimplyHuman186 not true for me. I had symptoms of malnutrion and my blood sugar was higher than ever.
Love Dr Bikman. He is funny, personable, humble, erudite, and has better understanding of people than most clinicians. Thank you both for the interview.
A God send professor to guide us towards robust health by ourselves for ourselves.
Blessings!
Thank you both. So much great content - smart questions from Thomas and awesome Ben Bikman explanations as usual. So much packed in I'll need to watch it a few times
I know he is talking about Type 2 diabetics. I became a Type 1, yes t1, diabetic at age 41, about 9 years after a parvovirus B19 infection. The absolute rank ignorance doctors, even endocrinologists, have about diet and nutrition is stunning. My doctors just told me to bolus for carbs. Don’t change my diet, just shoot up. I wish a doctor had told me at the very beginning to focus on fat and protein and eliminate or significantly restrict carbs.
I did all the research and experienced all the stuff with pinging numbers. And I have gone through the diabetes fatigue and frustration because our food culture is SO carb focused that it is hard to shift. I did carb restriction and shifted to heavy cream in my coffee and much higher % of dietary fat and my HDL and LDL cholesterol did go up. But my endo wanted to put me on statins even though my triglycerides were below 60. It’s so tiring.
I need to go back to eggs, bacon, beef, avocados, and cream.
Cholesterol is essential to production of all sex hormones, D3, and brain health. No problem imo with increased cholesterol.
Thank you for getting back on track. When you had Paul Saladino on claiming someone could eat 200 carbs a day and honey, I lost faith in the message you were trying to get across.
Wow, I have followed both of you for a long time. Thomas, thank you for asking the questions that really drill down to how to treat fat. I have been trying to get this from several really good online Health hackers hackers. This interview really hit the mark
My “whole food” meal plan is FREE. Teaches how to eat for fat loss, muscle building and longevity. www.thomasdelauer.com/eatrealfood - consider it my “thank you” for subscribing to my channel and newsletter!
Do uou buy all your food or harvest any of your own?
48:33 I do the opposite. I can go about my day hungry no problem. But will never fall asleep even if I am just slightly hungry or have a little bit of a craving. I have tried skipping dinner altogether, but I always end up not sleeping at all. Whereas if I skip any other meal, but eat dinner, I have zero problems falling asleep. Same with cabs. If I crave carbs and I don't eat them at dinner, I will not sleep even for one second that night.
Have you checked your Vitamin B levels?
I also have suffered from the same and gave in. However, there is a way to get around this and it requires a lot of determination. I started to take a Vitamin B complex, did more frequent exercise and took antiacids. I have even fasted for 72 hours ( rolling fasts) and managed to have good sleep. The final trick is taking a melatonin pill (3-6 mg) on difficult days.
@@Phoenixpapagei Do I need to get around this? I still don't see a problem eating late in the day, especially if that's what I feel I need, and if I must take antacids and melatonin.
I haven't checked my vitamin B levels, but I feel I have an OK intake - for the last week on average I've eaten: B1 2 mg, B2 2.7 mg, B3 32.3 mg, B5 7.8 mg, B9 250 µg, B12 6.6 µg. That's not counting the multivitamins I also take. I have 7 or 8 exercise sessions per week. I could maybe increase them, but how would this make me eat less carbs in the evenings, and more carbs in the mornings?
@@CharlesOffdensen In my family there is a history of diabetes, and this is why I am extra careful about carbs in the evening/ night. From what I have read in the research papers, by the evening/night you won't be able to process carbs the same way as during the morning or the middle of the day( growth hormone/ cortisol related). It also often happens that when you get a drop in the insulin levels you get hungry, so idk 😶. It's tricky but if you are happy and healthy, then everything is fine.
@@Phoenixpapagei Thanks, gonna try that.
@@PhoenixpapageiThat's right, too much fat and not enough carbs likely leads to malnutrition and dependence on supplementation (which also comes in a box with a barcode)
Great and super informative discussion! as they always are with Dr. Bikman. I'm 67 and run a 8-16 IF schedule all the time and have for years. I eat ketovore between 7am and 3pm which gives a nice long fasting period before sleep. Exercise hard every day, no fat left to lose, just trying to keep/build muscle. Never feel hungry, CGM stays nice and steady with rapid response/recovery to a carb bolus.
So how are you controlling your diabetes??
@@08turboSShe doesn’t have diabetes…he said his insulin is under control, not by meds either. Did you understand any of this video??
@@08turboSS Never had and never will have diabetes, not insulin resistant and BMI of 24.
Can we get an interview with Dr. Casey Means please! ❤ Thank you Thomas for all you do!
Loved this talk. Need to watch it multiple times to soak up this knowledge.
Such an EXCELLENT interview! Thanks so much!
Thank you Dr. for being willing to speculate!
Here are the important time stamps for anyone wondering: Video starts at: 0:01.
Video ends at: 52:09.
You're welcome😊
😅
thank you for the laugh that gave me , wishing you a great day.
😂😂😂
Great explanation of consuming protein with fat. As the muscle cells gets bigger, there’s also need for the good fat to go in the membrane which will grow as the whole cell grows.
Red meat for muscle a d cellular growth.
Your thoughts: My experience and research as a masters sprint athlete suggests that there's a requirement for higher dietary fat to aid muscle protein synthesis in older people, including sports competitors - Total Health Matrix
Best health related interview I’ve heard in a long time.
Wish I could like this video more than once. Fantastic information
OK. I am not insulin resistant, and following several months of lower carb eating, my insulin dropped from 18 to 8, my HA1C from 5.7 to 5.6, but my triglycerides are still high and I remain at a plateau of 174 lb. I tried the 2MAD (with tweaks) promulgated by Ben Azadi, with ZERO change over 4 months.
In fact, my belly got bigger, despite body comp results showing fat loss and addition of muscle. I concluded the problem is cortisol (I’m a 74 yo woman who works out), so I quit the IF.
I only want to get down to about 140: I’m a singer and need to maintain a certain mass. I’m trying to substitute muscle for fat. I am on HRT, and weight work does enable me to gain muscle. I don’t have any interest in being a tiny little thing, but I really would like to get rid of my out-of-proportion belly. I am 5’2”.
Try fasting for 48 hours at a time, ideally every week. Once you get used to it you’ll feel amazing and the weight will start to come off. Also try ditching all carbs and stick to animal products with the occasional condiment or avocado
This was probably thee best episode ever.
I normally watch all YT vids on 2x speed...I watched this entire thing on normal speed to make sure I didn't miss anything...wow, good stuff here.
This is brilliant! Definitely will listen several times to get every nugget of info.
This could have been said in 5 minutes. The message was lost in the tedium. I still don't know how to lose fat and keep it off forever
Thank you for that last question Thomas, you tailored all that information for my exact circumstances :)
This guy is too smart for me. I can't really digest everything he's said, so I'll ask this basic question.
If I burn 2000 calories a day on average, can I consume 3000 calories/day and still burn body fat, so long as those calories are no carb/low carb? Will by body excrete those extra calories rather than storing them as fat since there's no insulin to carry them into the cell? I've never heard ANYBODY directly answer that question definitively.
If the answer is yes, that's a gamechanger, and nutrition departments at universities need to close up shop, because they obviously don't know anything. If the answer is no, then I don't know why any of this matters.
Ben is great. I first heard him on High Intensity Health. Always a pleasure to listen.
I read Dr.Atkin's New Diet Revolution in the year 2001. Changed my life. All the studies since are just confirming what a genius he was, in spite of the limited research at the time. More credit should be given to him. Great talk Dr. Bikman, everything spot-on, and keep it up.☺
And Atkins borrowed some of that from the Inuits. He did have the strength to go against consensus and paid for it heavily.
I LOVE how he gave his best sample day in the life with this dieting advice.
Breakfast: fasting for ketones
Lunch: admissible carbs
Dinner: avoid carbs
But I still have a follow up question:
When is the best time for exercising with this plan? Is it immediately after eating the carbs to regulate the hyperglycemia, or would it be best to exercise after insulin has reset (1-2 hours after)? Between meals? Or after dinner?
Our bodies require zero carbs ever !!!!!!!
This is so technical I had trouble understanding a lot of it.
In related news, Bill Burr is now a fat scientist!
😂😂😂
Lol good one 😂
finally! what took you so long ???? :))
Happy to see Dr Bikman on your show!
The biggest takeaway from this conversation, as I do not have to stuggle with insulin, is to take fat with the protein shake.... In the future I will mix in some spoons of ghee into the shake !
It was a very good talk with some really practical advice that works. Thanks for having Ben Bikman.
I have spent a lot of time in Asia in the past 7 years. They are thinner but diabetes is running ramped in that culture. So it make since about the fat cells
American fatness is because Americans eat gluttonously and walk less. The reason for Asian insulin resistance 100% is abundant rice availability compared to thousands of years before while the physical farm work or hunting / gathering is gone. so rice consumption is too much per day total that does not match the life being led. And seed oils in all meals.
So the answer is eliminate seed oils. Live farm life or exercise/sports life or lower the rice intake but still walk and lift at least the minimum for your body.
@simplehealthyliving4681 asians have been eating rice for thousands of years and diabetes is a recent issue they are having. So, I wouldn't say it's rice consumption.
Poor people are still eating natural home cooked meals but wealthier eat more and more processed foods. That's where the problem is, imo.
I am not sure I would totally agree with you. The life expectancy has got from 40 to 50 to the 70s today. Most of the diabetes type 2 comes into play in their early 50s. The rice today is also heavily genetically altered and not the same as it was 100 ago. It's true there are other factors, but I think rice is playing a big part of it.
@@NinoNlkklI mentioned the why. Here *abundant rice availability compared to thousands of years before while the physical farm work or hunting / gathering is gone. so rice consumption is too much per day total that does not match the life being led.*
The proportion of rice consumption is lopsided now. Too much easy rice availability and absence of farm life or hunter-gatherer life to use that energy from rice - not in accordance with the body's design. So insulin resistance.
The insulin resistance happens first. It was clearly mentioned in the video. It is about insulin staying high first and foremost.
The processed food part is less in Asia. You are looking at Asia from an American lens.
Also seed oils in street food and home cooking.
Rich or poor the answer is either farm life or exercise/sports with rice amount reduced, i.e. similar to labor and energy expended in the pre fertlizer based agriculture days (thousands of years). Otherwise there is no escape from insulin resistance.
@alansawesomeketoworld4612 that could be the factor as well. Genetically modified and pesticides. Speaking of pesticides, it seems to get worse.
Processed wheat flour in the states are seen as very bad whereas Europeans don't seem to have issues with their products.
I recently visited South korea and their food culture has changed a lot amongst younger generations.
Their diabetes and cancer rates have rapidly gone on the rise.
Caveman diet…protein…nuts…berries…vegetables ……..if it’s in a box bag or can don’t eat it
Maybe get Dr. Norton with Dr. Bikman.. that would be an interesting debate
👍
I hope you're not referring to Layne Norton!? If you do you really need to do your homework. Layne is not a very smart guy. Bart Kay eats him up and spit him out every now and again. Layne Norton doesn't dare pick up the gauntlet Bart has thrown at him. Also, go listen to Don Layman, Layne's professor instead. He knows what he's talking about.
Oh really Layne is not an expert
Oh, good to see a REAL guest for once!!!
Plenty of real guest on here
Wonderful interview!
Higher Metabolic Rate & Lowering Insulin :
41:06 "As much as calories matter, my strong advice is start with the low insulin approach. You just control your carbs. Prioritize protein. Don't Fear The Fat that comes with that protein, and don't worry about the calories because, if you correct your insulin you will have a Higher Metabolic Rate ." Love Dr. Bikman. He is so clear. Prioritize protein with it's Fat and don't worry about the calories.
This was a great interview! Very informative.
Feels wierd to see a video with Ben but no dogs barking at the end😅
Thanks T.DL for another awesome video!
LOVE Ben's enthusiasm at minute 43:45!!
Gained 100 pounds researching the Internet deciphering information filtering through the nonsense. this is why I appreciate your site as well you’re straight forward and you filter through the nonsense. This gentleman has made a plan by not making a plan that fits life style and makes a lot of sense for longevity and combining fasting proteins and whole foods and intermittent fasting as a combination to long-term weight loss and regaining body composition. Excellent excellent excellent excellent information good job.
Carnivore is the solution.
This is fascinating (wild!). At 52 minutes, Dr Bikman mentions "structured fasting". Would this be the same as "time-restricted eating"?
I honestly LOVE your channel Thomas! Your incites and knowledge, the professionals you interview, your a blessing! You have helped change my body and life! Thank-you 💪💪🏋♂🏋♂🙏🙏
Wild game is very lean. How our ancestors ate. They didn’t get a butter churn out when they harvested a deer.
They also didn’t just eat the ribeye part of the animal.
I eat meats, fats and a little bit of veggies … I eat 3300 calories per day and I’m 105 lbs at 5’6 and I’m not gaining despite it being my goal. Now I know why 😊
you eat 3300 ? I eat 3300 calories 80 kg male lmao you are weird
@@DimashCastellucciyou are an ignorant mo ron
@@Eren-da-Jaeger Did you drop calories slowly? Cause i eat 4k calories daily too and it doesnt seem right but when i reduce them i drop sizes
We don't eat calories because it's impossible to eat heat. We eat mass. Calories are units of heat, they are photons.
What fats
The take away ways so very great! I too have a fear of altimerze and dementia. So my personal takeaway seems to be to go to bed hungry and focus on whole foods, high protein with fats.
Great interview. I always learn a lot from Dr. Bikman.
Thanks Thomas! This was really helpful! I’m a big Layne Norton fan, so I am very comfortable with energy balance as a construct. However, I just lost my Grandmother to cancer this year, so I am more and more curious about fiddling with my macros to lower insulin. I got the new Stelo CGM and am learning so much about which foods have what kind of impact.
Ben really helped marry the two constructs in a way that works for my gym girl brain! 😂
This is a good man, prioritizing dinner with his family is amazing..good on you! The information he shares is so valuable, go to his page and listen....it's free.
What a great video! I love when you get into the science of it and you made it totally understandable for the newbie. I’ve been researching how to keep my insulin levels low when it’s not my eating window.
This talk will help me tremendously!
I think that the trend towards worse health outcomes is tied to the declaration in 1977 that saturated fat is evil. High carb, low or zero fat processed foods became a larger share of the average diet. There is also the recent work about a "new" essential fatty acid, pentadecanoic acid, that is found in full-fat dairy. The 1977 declaration that saturated fat is evil led to people consuming 2% fat milk or even non-fat milk with their processed breakfast cereal. And avoidance of cheese, cream, etc. Deficiency of pentadecanoic acid leads to weakness of the plasma (cell) membrane and a host of metabolic abnormalities.
Keep doing these podcasts Thomas , Ben bickman I love you ❤
Dr. Bikman is the hero we need but don't deserve.
Insulin Resistance & Diabetes is Magnesium Deficiency it even says so in medical literature even though they don’t treat with magnesium or even check magnesium on standard testing. It takes something like 46 magnesium molecules attached to sugar to metabolize it.
Dr. Carolyn Dean talks about it in her book The Magnesium Miracle. I’ve heard all other kinds of things about insulin resistance and I’m not saying some of those issues don’t factor into insulin resistance but a lot of the low carb supporters don’t bring up magnesium and minerals and the bio electric connection in our bodies. If our bodies are deficient in nutrients such as magnesium and minerals then it’s going to have a trickle down affect of the metabolic processes. We aren’t getting enough magnesium or minerals from our foods like we were years ago. If someone is magnesium and mineral deficiency they are going to be more hungry because they aren’t getting what their body is craving. Add magnesium and minerals and it balances appetite.
I love this interview so much! Please have him on more often.
Insomnia is very often a complaint of people on keto or carnivore who are eating very limited carbs at any time. Dr. Bikman talks about late day carbs causing insomnia. Since that's not the case with low carb diets, what other factor could you identify in keto or carnivore diets that could so often cause insomnia??? Please answer!
Electrolyte issues :3, Make sure you are getting enough magnesism and salt for 1. Also, make sure you do enough during the day to be proper tired. Your body is burning like a hybrid now and not a tractor trailer. Gotta use that energy.
Doesn't carbs helps you sleep better by increasing tryptophan/serotonin?
one of the best interviews I have seen on this channel
Which one of these two is an advocate for that?
Very interesting and informative video Thomas! Thanks for having Dr. Bikman on your channel. One of the most educational videos I've seen in a long time. Great work! Thanks Dr. Bikman!
@45:15 he says there has never been a study of hypercaloric comparison between high fat and high carb consumption. I beg to differ. There was a study of ONE by a gentleman in England who is a big fan of keto. Sorry don't recall his name. But it was in recent years and I believe he posted his results on YT. He did this study on himself. 30 days of each diet at I believe 3,000 calories per day. The high fat low carb diet was the clear winner as it did not promote weight gain while the high carb diet did profoundly, proving the type of calorie absolutely makes a difference.
Thank you so much Thomas... this is a fantastic podcast, and Dr. Ben is just awesome to listen to.
This was so good!!! Thank you both!!!!🤗❤️
This man is always spot on
Nice to see two people in the same room speaking to each other! 👍
This Professor is a Professor to the Professor's!! I would luv to be in his class! Thank you Thomas for bringing class to Us!!! Appreciate you Bro!!🤘
Dr Bikmen is the man
I like that Ben didn’t go overboard and say avoid all carbs This was a very balanced view on carb intake versus demonizing them. You need carbs and insulin to thrive.
No you don’t. Carbs are completely non essential.
The liver makes all the glucose you need from fat & protein.
You can live healthily on just beef for the rest of your life. Protein is an essential nutrient.
He bagged on insulin and carbs the entire 52 minutes. But then said if his daughter wants pizza he will eat so to not make it weird. Where did he say anything close to carbs and insulin are needed to thrive? Did you even listen to this?
He didn't say you need carbs to thrive. He said if you aren't gonna avoid then keep it to whole fruits and veggies. Carbs is NOT essential. Your body makes the glucose it needs in the liver.
@@cynthiabahena9721 I was replying to a comment above
@@joshtaylor5766 Kevin wasnt even implying the guy said "carbs and insulin are needed to thrive" that was literally just Kevin's take. I swear the quickest argument against the carbless is seeing yall's brains smoke out in action, trying to hold basic human thought
So much information I’ve never heard before but I’m more confused than ever!
Yeah it seems then it really doesn’t matter what you do. Except to go totally carnivore or starve yourself. You are either genetically lucky or screwed.😢
❓Dr Bikman, will you please study Lipedema ? ❤️ Or maybe you already know - how do we breakdown the fat out of the fat cells when they are encapsulated, as in Lipedema?? 👍 THANK YOU SO MUCH, Thomas & Dr. B ‼️
Finally, The last 5 years always saying most People who are Over Weight have issues with Metabolism So first You fix Your Insulin issues, by the most efficient way Possible & were You are not starving with hunger pains, You start by not eating 5 times a day and snaking, So You use IF eat in a Eating window of 8 hours or less, this will start to fix Your high insulin , Once the Dimmer switch has been going lower with your Insulin then You can maybe start to lower Your Calories. Yes try and keep Carbs low , try to eat Whole Foods and a lot of Protein.
Carnivore is the obvious solution.
