Your videos are usually good, but this guy, Ted, is fantastic! I really like his clarity... and what he's saying makes a lot of sense. Thank you so much for interviewing him!
..For Clarity, though, he does say that there is more diabetes as you get closer to the equator. That may be true for type 2... but it is the exact opposite geography for type 1.
Brian L interesting since Type 1 is an autoimmune disease which may be associated with eating plant food and grains. So maybe there is less tolerance in the Northern latitude since evolution was a primary animal diet in these latitudes?
I live in Finland, walk to the gym 2 km in -14 C, lift weights, go to sauna in 80 C, walk back in 14 C - now that's quite a few new mitochondria :) That was a lot of interesting knowledge. Thank you!
Edyta Mycek I’m doing similar...except I do 7km ...it’s definitely helping me lose fat weight :-) Helps that I wear shorts and very light hoodie ... cold adaptation has increased my brown fat cell power
This is the single most useful information I've come through since knowing that high carb diets aren't as good as once believed. So visceral fat starts filling up when your fat cells are actually full, afterwards it's over sized fat cells and insulin resistance. It all now makes sense and all the missing pieces of information fall into place. Fascinating. Really great valuable info. Thank you.
I love hearing Dr. Naiman talk. He explains things in so many different ways. The part about some success on high-carb, low-fat finally made me realize why when I was exercising like crazy but eating very low fat I didn't blow up, but boy, when I had a huge lifestyle change, with less exercise but lots of junk food from the only nearby store, a convenience store, I suddenly packed on fat with dizzying speed. All along I was still only thinking calories. This finally explained it. Great talks, thanks for the channel!
It’s not just calories… it is how our body’s hormones react to the carbs, the fats n the proteins… 500 calories from cup cakes are not equal to 500 calories of kale or spinach…
I really like what Ted Naiman has to say. This interview turned me onto a lot of his other content....Such a down to earth minimalist....very pragmatic and intelligent.
Mike, thank you so much for bringing this amazing content and information to the world. It is sad to witness an epidemic of illnesses that can be prevented by simply educating ourselves on topics like this. I watch your videos every morning and I know how much effort you put into your content. I am extremely grateful for you and your guests!
What great info. Thank you. Mike I just want to say I love your interviews. You are always so kind, considerate, professional and ask intelligent questions.
22:07 is what I intrinsically think. This puts it in words like I never could. Isn't this the best bridge between vegan- keto war? We follow what we can best sustain. Loved this interview Mike. I have learnt so much from all the interviews you post. Life changing stuff. Thanks a ton.
Really insightful comment. In the whole vegan- keto war - the goal shouldn't be my way is right and your way is wrong it should be about finding the solution that works for you.
I did a very low fat diet for nearly ten years on recommendation for treating multiple sclerosis. I did feel good for much of it, until the last couple of years. At that point I was probably running low on fat soluble vitamins or b12 and had some skin, digestive issues, mood issues I'd never had before. Of course I was younger when I started. It was kind of life changing to stop eating so many plants and eat red meat, animal fat, no grains. Nearly one year in now of HFLC and my hair is thickening so much. I feel better and enjoy this more. That being said, my MS was fine on low fat (maybe - unless the mood issues were related).
Thank you so much Mike and Ted for this content! The idea that we all have a personal fat thresh hold just blew my mind. It really answers why I am so skinny yet struggle with a sensitive immune system.
This channel is pure gold. I can't praise you enough for going so in-depth on all this and bringing so much knowledge to us. All the knowledge I've acquired so far on health and fitness is finally 'clicking' into place, and I am able to see the bigger pictures precisely because I finally understand the details.
I consider myself very knowledgable on these topics of different diet approaches and human physiology, but in this interview I heard so many new and very interesting facts. Truly amazing. Ted Naiman has great approach of not favoring any lifestyle approach which is rare today, when today kind of everyone defend only their point of view and demonise other school of thoughts.
This is an incredibly informative podcast! He describes insulin resistance in a way the truly resonates. I can't wait to share this will all my friends. Thank you so much, Mike.
I also agree. This Dr Explained it in a way that we can all understand. I don’t know why some people commented negatively. This guy sat down and unloaded so much information that he worked very hard to get and it costs us nothing! Why say one thing that is not complimentary? I thought he explained the answer to this process that has been killing us for decades in such a way that any of us could follow, and live! Mike is also wonderful! He helped this go so smoothly, asking intelligent questions with such kindness! I am so thankful to get this information. Many thanks to both of you!! ❤️❤️
So enlightening. Dr. Naiman really addressed some topics for me. I am 65 probably eating too much Keto fat can ‘t get my blood sugar down. Wow I didn’t understand why my Lo carb wasn’t working and no weight loss. More protein and more weight training. Thanks Dr. Naiman. I thought I was going to need to add carbs. I didn’t know what to do.
I think refined carbs and processed fat do that. By refined carbs I mean cooked carbs. I can't picture that a cup of fresh blueberries with a cup of raw , unpasteurized fat can cause insulin resistance.
You can't solve it by just eating carbs and protein. 1) the body needs fat for life 2) eating a high amount of carbs all the time raises blood sugar which raises insulin. The cells become desensitized to the high amount of insulin that is continually in the blood and become resistant which requires the pancreas to secret even more insulin to do the same job, which causes more resistance. Fat does not cause insulin to be secreted so the obvious solution is to eat a low carb, high fat, and adequate protein diet. While eating a lot of fat and carbs may make insulin resistance worse, I don't think it's required, I think carbs can do it alone.
Amazing episode although I'd argue maximizing lean muscle mass isn't optimal. It's going to hit a point of diminishing returns in terms of longevity etc. With that being said, most people won't reach such levels naturally so lift away
Siim Land Yeah hear ya. Lots of work, mentally and physically (and sometimes drugs) needed to push someone over the U-shaped curve to the point that muscle mass is causing issues. Think you’re right on, Siim! Mike
Yeah, Siim, I imagine he's thinking in terms of optimal muscle mass and muscle strength outside of body building that focuses on hypertrophy. As we know, leaner, less massive people (think gymnast, rock climber, dancer), will have the best strength to weight ratio. If there is too much fat or muscle mass (through hypertrophy) the mitochondrial volume is effectively diluted. Distance running tends to be overspecialized to the lower body, compromising satisfactory strength in the upper body. Being a "mass monster" or World's Strongest Man competitor is not conducive to longevity. The heart has to work too hard to pump through the body's tissues involving over-development and thickening of the left ventricle muscle. This results in cardiac asymmetry and the potential for arrhythmias etc. Not to mention the extra calories needed to support such mass. Better to be smaller (normal).
Genetics will limit the amount of muscle mass you can build and you must train very hard to maintain that muscle. Everyone will eventually lose muscle regardless of how much protein they consume or how much strength training they perform.
Wow. I just finished reading Dr Naiman’s book last night. He has turned on all the lights for me to more throughly understand the complexities of nutrition and bring it to my level, that I now absolutely understand, and can act on. Thanks for this really great interview. Started moving the pointer to more protein and less energy today.
This talk was so informative! So basically it's super difficult for me to stick to keto in college (the fact that I'm vegetarian doesn't help while eating out either) so even if I eat just egg curry all day, the fact remains that the mess dining hall probably uses very unhealthy oils, so I don't know how harmful it would be. If I didn't eat eggs all day, I would have to resort to carbs like white rice, potatoes, fruit and legumes. Even though I'm terrified of going back to a high carb diet as I'm scared that I'll go right back to square one (aka, junk food) if I do that and I don't want to cut fat out, it's still reassuring to know that even if I did that theoretically, I'd be fine. I'm not making excuses, but it really is super hard in college, especially in India, where carbs are everywhere in college, there are sleepless late nights every night and you don't even have access to good quality ingredients or even a kitchen.
Holy crap you answered a question I’ve had for years. The women in my family get huge... never get sick, never get diabetes, never have adverse health consequences and live happy, healthy lives into their 90s.... Clearly we are capable of making lots of fat cells and so we don’t trigger that hyperinsulinemia. Even at my fattest I’ve been “proportional”.... waist much smaller than bust and hips... we tend to store in boobs and butt so even the excess weight in our waist still gives us a waistline. So weird. I’m looking forward to seeing just how much more slowly I age and stay healthy by fasting, eating ketogenically and keeping my overall weight lower. Thank you for giving me the answer to “how the heck was grandma so obese and so healthy at the same time????”
I really like this Dr he talks so much sense he's got it dialled in with regards to comfort zones we all need to shift outside ours all the time to build the body up..
That’s because if you pull one macro nutrient out or make it very low, you will most likely eat less. You can eat every macro nutrient evenly and still reverse insulin resistance if you are in a calorie deficit.
You can't after you hit adulthood. Kids can add more fat cells. Wich might be why fat kids often get fat as adults too. They have a lot of fat cells. Maybee they want at least a certain amount of fat in them.
Interesting... I just watched an interview you did with Jason Fung where he says our bodies are intelligent and that fasting causes fat loss not muscle or lean loss.
There is a small blip of protein loss at the beginning of a fast. I think Dr. Fung stated such. But it is not necessarily lean muscle mass. That little blip at the beginning freaks everyone out. I love when Dr. Fung says "Our bodies aren't stupid." Lol.
@@chrisowens7873 From what I recall, Fung pointed to a minor loss of lean mass which is immediately followed by a corrective flow of growth hormone and lean mass expansion when we break our fast with healthy foods containing protein etc. By his explanation we don't lose lean mass in the long term because our bodies correct for it each time we break our fast, but in the fasting, there is a *very minor* lean mass degradation.
Awesome interview Mike! Dr. Naiman's approach is very level headed and no-nonsense. Thank you for all of your work in bringing such knowledge into the public sphere.
I've been doing keto for over a year I feel amazing I've lost about 30 pounds but I have 40 more to go I'm so confused one says eat more fat one says eat more protein 1 says eat equal fdat and protein I guess it's trial-and-error but this video made it so clear to me was amazing thank you so much for interviewing him
When I was 17 (1964), I needed to lose 44 pounds... I don't know why I did this but I decided to eat each day, a 5 ounce steak at 5 pm with a cup of coffee. Of course, I was young. The results were that I went from 247 pounds (6' tall) to 202 pounds. I am now 71 and might weight has varied only 5% up or down. After 6 weeks on low carb, I am at 185 pounds with countless benefits.
Thank you. Very informative!!! Although he is not into supplements, what in food or type of food (besides protein) does he make sure to have daily. It would have been interesting to know.
Thank you for explaining the low fat v low carbs and why they both work. I have been grappling with this for a while now. Its great to finally understand. I've been IF and not doing as well as I would like.
Great interview. IM keto and just recently upped my protein intake(because of previous fears) ..and feel absolutely Great and am dropping 3-4lbs a week!!
I was getting an hour of Florida sunshine (in shorts and a tank) everyday, and my Vit D was 27-33. Since using a supplement (Biotics Research Bio-D-Mulsion Forte Vitamin D, 3-5 drops a day) I'm now at 87. For some reason I cannot absorb Vit D from the sun. Also, I have not have a cold, flu or any other sickness since I started taking it seven months ago.
Great interview, as usual, Mike. Love Ted’s voice in the low carb community. In some ways a contrarian, but I’m in search of useful knowledge and not an alternate dogma. Just watched Dave Feldman’s recent discussion of the lipid distribution system, and the system switching between fasting and feeding. It works very well with this conversation and certainly contributed to new insights for me. I recommend viewing that presentation with this interview. I now better understand Ted’s recommendation (as well as Phinney, Volek, etc) to focus on protein and reduce fat when trying to break a plateau without worrying about the liver producing glucose. In a low insulin environment the glucose production causes some blood glucose rise, which is very disconcerting to a former T2D off all meds ( A1C 4.8). But this conversation, along with Dave’s Insight, has helped calm this healing-former T2D, and given me a better tactical understanding of how to keep getting healthier. 👍👊
This was incredibly insightful, thank you very much. I was always a bit worried that I took too much protein as most people say you shouldn't eat more than 20% of your daily meal in protein.
I'd tend to agree more with Jason Fung from the "Obesity code" book. I would *not* want to lose only fat, since I do want to lose / and have lost the excess skin, or ... Alzheimers plaques maybe.
Thanks for giving so many of us the opportunity to listen in on another fascinating conversation. Is that coconut pudding the one Deanna did a video tutorial on? I seem to remember watching one recently and this has reminded me I haven't made it yet.
I think Ted Naiman's interview dove-tailed nicely with Dave Feldman' s remarks. Both men interview nicely. I especially loved Naiman's comments of getting out of one's comfort zone. I do this in terms of how much I move (through various exercise modalities) throughout the day. i need to explore exiting my comfort zone in other areas of my life as well.
Thank you! Learned a lot here, very grateful for your work. Another question, does this mean we can switch back and forth between low carb and high carb depending on what we are feeling for as long as we can not eating simple carbs and fat together?
Heat shock is induced by both cold and heat. That is why the practice of a sauna followed by a cold plunge, or rolling in the snow, is so invigorating and effective.
This is interesting. So, I shot up to 258 lbs and did a prolonged fast a year ago (54 day water fast w/ salt and centrum men vitamins) and a year later I am at 185 lbs or so, I plan on getting to 170 lbs. I plan to build muscle with my current OMAD on a small surplus, so should I eat 250 grams of protein for every 125 grams of fat? Currently, I’m doing a 55% fat, 35% protein and 10% carbs and I’m losing weight at about 3 lbs/week, with my exercise regime and consuming 2500 calories a meal with one 48 hour fast a week.
Something just clicked for me. If your cells reject glucose then they reject energy. There was a period when I was exhausted all the time. It got better once I started keto and took CoQ10. It was giving my cells energy through fat and supplements.
Important takeaway for proper way to increase protein -- "keep it pulsatile." That is, modulate mtor throughout the day. Dr Lyon echoes this by referring to "bolus" or dosing amounts (30-50 g) for dietary protein consumption.
Great interview!! Thanks so much. Here's one thing I'd like to have an answer to. I like a warm house. But I take showers in which I spend big chunks of time in freezing cold water. (I alternate a minute of hot, a minute of freezing water.) I go for walks when it's cold outside, without a jacket on. So I'm wondering, do we really NEED a cold environment? Or is it just as beneficial to live in a warm house much of the time, but break it up with stretches of supercold?
The problem with the theory that you can eat a lot of carbs as long as you don't eat fats is that it will only work if the carbs are all fruits and vegetables. Once you introduce Grains, especially processed grains, they get processed out so quickly that you're feeling hungry again in a matter of hours, vs Fats actually fill you up to where you're not hungry for a long time. An example is, if you eat a bowl of cereal and I eat Eggs and Bacon at 7AM for breakfast, by 10AM, you're hungry again and I'm fine until Lunch. That's the REALITY we've been living in for the past several decades.
There!! You got it. I had this nagging feeling that he looks like someone, but couldn't place it. When that happens, it's like an itch that just doesn't go away. LOL
Awesome podcast! Very informative but now I have a question: no carbs and fat together.. but I love my veggies with coconut oil! Have I been wrong this entire time ?
Who knows whom to listen to? Right now I'm eating only in an 8 hour block and fasting for 16 hours and also getting more sleep. "The 8 Hour Diet" emphasizes eating healthily --which includes foods from all groups with none of the "you can't eat carbs with fat", etc. I've eaten the 8 hour way for 1 1/2 weeks now because I couldn't stand the thought of going on Atkins again and have lost 2 lbs--and I don't feel deprived. Now no food is "evil." I lost 40 lbs on Atkins and kept it off for 3 years but got so sick of eggs and meat that they became revolting to me. I craved grains and fruits. My lipid profile was excellent but at quite a price when it came to enjoying life. As far as I'm concerned grains, fruits and starchy veggies were put here on earth to be eaten and enjoyed. This is in no way saying that low carb diets don't work or that they are bad for many people. After suffering emotionally on Atkins for 4 years--one year losing the weight and 3 years maintaining it--I've come to the conclusion that the best way to eat is the way that suits your needs and tastes--mindful eating, in other words.
"Your cells are looking out for themselves." I guess they're cellfish.

ouch
GS Allen that is great 👍. I enjoy “groaner” jokes!
😃😁😂😂😂😂
Mwuahahaha brilliant!

Thanks
Brian L interesting since Type 1 is an autoimmune disease which may be associated with eating plant food and grains. So maybe there is less tolerance in the Northern latitude since evolution was a primary animal diet in these latitudes?
Agree with everything except too much high intensity is bad in long run
345@@eqa😀😭
I live in Finland, walk to the gym 2 km in -14 C, lift weights, go to sauna in 80 C, walk back in 14 C - now that's quite a few new mitochondria :) That was a lot of interesting knowledge. Thank you!
Edyta Mycek Brilliant! Keep it up :-)
Mike
Is 80 C normal for a sauna in Finland? That seems incredibly mild to me. In Russia it's normal for saunas to be at least 100 C, usually 110 C.
Edyta Mycek I’m doing similar...except I do 7km ...it’s definitely helping me lose fat weight :-)
Helps that I wear shorts and very light hoodie ... cold adaptation has increased my brown fat cell power
Pozdrawiam serdecznie Edyta :)
Someone said 80 C is mild temp. That reader is probably thinking in F degrees. 80 degrees C equals 176 degrees F
I’ve been a fat burner for over a year - regained health that I thought I’d lost forever.
This is the single most useful information I've come through since knowing that high carb diets aren't as good as once believed.

Ali Sampson I’ll take that as a compliment :-)
TY
Just an outstanding interview guys. One of the VERY BEST and rational dialogs on macros and fat burning I have ever heard. Bravo.
What great info. Thank you. Mike I just want to say I love your interviews. You are always so kind, considerate, professional and ask intelligent questions.
TheElizaC oooo
He is an excellent interviewer
Ted Naiman is so awesome. This is one of the best interviews of him I've seen. Bravo!

I love Dr. Ted, he's so unique and clear.
Solid gold discussion! Worth listening the whole way through- thank you 🙏
Truly enjoyed this discussion. One of my faves on your show. Helped me get over the protein fear while eating keto.
I consider myself very knowledgable on these topics of different diet approaches and human physiology, but in this interview I heard so many new and very interesting facts. Truly amazing. Ted Naiman has great approach of not favoring any lifestyle approach which is rare today, when today kind of everyone defend only their point of view and demonise other school of thoughts.
you're an idiot
Po čemu smatraš sebe jako posvećenim u nutricionizmu??
This is an incredibly informative podcast! He describes insulin resistance in a way the truly resonates. I can't wait to share this will all my friends. Thank you so much, Mike.
Thank you, Nancy! Have an awesome week--just added your YT notes for folks :-)
Cheers,

Just got back into town. Can't wait to get going on BL!
Nancy Carpenter agreed. So informative

Can't afford to heat my house in Canada in the winter, I guess I'm doing good lol.
Jean-Francois Simard you’re going green and adding brown... fat. 😉 Trendy and efficient.
Love your videos! One suggestion, I would love it if your videos are fully captioned (and none of those auto-generated silliness). It helps a lot!
Nice tip, maybe one day we'll get there.
Thanks
"You don't want to lose weight, you want to lose fat."
Loved this! Answered so many questions and he’s in the practice seeing these results for himself.
So enlightening. Dr. Naiman really addressed some topics for me. I am 65 probably eating too much Keto fat can ‘t get my blood sugar down. Wow I didn’t understand why my Lo carb wasn’t working and no weight loss. More protein and more weight training. Thanks Dr. Naiman. I thought I was going to need to add carbs.

Carbs and Fat together = insulin resistance
Siim Land hea et sa seda tead!!
Siim Land does refined carbs and fat = insulin resistance or does COMPLEX carbs and fat = insulin resistant? Thanks
I think refined carbs and processed fat do that. By refined carbs I mean cooked carbs. I can't picture that a cup of fresh blueberries with a cup of raw , unpasteurized fat can cause insulin resistance.
so just eat carbs and protein! fixed the problem
You can't solve it by just eating carbs and protein. 1) the body needs fat for life 2) eating a high amount of carbs all the time raises blood sugar which raises insulin.

Siim Land Yeah hear ya. Lots of work, mentally and physically (and sometimes drugs) needed to push someone over the U-shaped curve to the point that muscle mass is causing issues.
Think you’re right on, Siim!
Mike
If one maximizes their lean muscle mass to a reasonable level (say 10-20% of lean body weight) then one can live a long healthy life.
Yeah, Siim, I imagine he's thinking in terms of optimal muscle mass and muscle strength outside of body building that focuses on hypertrophy. As we know, leaner, less massive people (think gymnast, rock climber, dancer), will have the best strength to weight ratio.

High Intensity Health ضض
Wow. I just finished reading Dr Naiman’s book last night. He has turned on all the lights for me to more throughly understand the complexities of nutrition and bring it to my level, that I now absolutely understand, and can act on. Thanks for this really great interview. Started moving the pointer to more protein and less energy today.
This was a brilliant chat. Incredibly eye-opening to have it explained this way. Thanks!
I think Dr Naiman is the best!! I have learn so much!!
This talk was so informative! So basically it's super difficult for me to stick to keto in college (the fact that I'm vegetarian doesn't help while eating out either) so even if I eat just egg curry all day, the fact remains that the mess dining hall probably uses very unhealthy oils, so I don't know how harmful it would be.

Amazing talk. So helpful! You are a great interviewer!
Great interview. I learned a lot here so this info will be packed into my arsenal of health advice! Good job x
I like the dumbed-down explanation. It works for me.
math you Yeah mate, not dumb as in unintelligent. Just simplified so we can all act on it.
Cheers,
Mike
I agree. I transcribed it, I love it so much. No disrespect intended. Sometimes my silliness gets the better of me.
Ted is actually pretty scientific here.
Dumbing down using NOT dumb downed terms, is not dumbing down
Holy crap you answered a question I’ve had for years. The women in my family get huge... never get sick, never get diabetes, never have adverse health consequences and live happy, healthy lives into their 90s....
Clearly we are capable of making lots of fat cells and so we don’t trigger that hyperinsulinemia.
Even at my fattest I’ve been “proportional”.... waist much smaller than bust and hips... we tend to store in boobs and butt so even the excess weight in our waist still gives us a waistline.
So weird. I’m looking forward to seeing just how much more slowly I age and stay healthy by fasting, eating ketogenically and keeping my overall weight lower.
Thank you for giving me the answer to “how the heck was grandma so obese and so healthy at the same time????”
My maternal line has the same thing.
I really like this Dr he talks so much sense he's got it dialled in with regards to comfort zones we all need to shift outside ours all the time to build the body up..
It's weird that this informational video doesn't have over 1 million views by now. Great video. Love Dr. Naiman.
That’s because if you pull one macro nutrient out or make it very low, you will most likely eat less. You can eat every macro nutrient evenly and still reverse insulin resistance if you are in a calorie deficit.

Insulin resistance results from "not having any places left to store fat."
KetOMAD, I love your name; and it's the best dual fat-burning strategy out there too!
TY. Couldn't agree more.
I don't believe it, you can make more fat cells.
You can't after you hit adulthood. Kids can add more fat cells. Wich might be why fat kids often get fat as adults too. They have a lot of fat cells. Maybee they want at least a certain amount of fat in them.
Interesting... I just watched an interview you did with Jason Fung where he says our bodies are intelligent and that fasting causes fat loss not muscle or lean loss.
Exactly
@@KenDBerryMD can you do a collab with fung?
There is a small blip of protein loss at the beginning of a fast. I think Dr. Fung stated such. But it is not necessarily lean muscle mass. That little blip at the beginning freaks everyone out. I love when Dr. Fung says "Our bodies aren't stupid." Lol.
@@chrisowens7873 From what I recall, Fung pointed to a minor loss of lean mass which is immediately followed by a corrective flow of growth hormone and lean mass expansion when we break our fast with healthy foods containing protein etc. By his explanation we don't lose lean mass in the long term because our bodies correct for it each time we break our fast, but in the fasting, there is a *very minor* lean mass degradation.
@@ryanjacob3701 thank you. I remember that now.
Awesome interview Mike! Dr. Naiman's approach is very level headed and no-nonsense. Thank you for all of your work in bringing such knowledge into the public sphere.
Love Dr. Naiman. Thank you for interviewing him. One of my favorite LC doctors.
This has been the most informative video Ive seen all day!!! Thank you for posting!!!👏👏
This was brilliant thank you for sharing i learned so much.
I've been doing keto for over a year I feel amazing I've lost about 30 pounds but I have 40 more to go I'm so confused one says eat more fat one says eat more protein 1 says eat equal fdat and protein I guess it's trial-and-error but this video made it so clear to me was amazing thank you so much for interviewing him
When I was 17 (1964), I needed to lose 44 pounds... I don't know why I did this but I decided to eat each day, a 5 ounce steak at 5 pm with a cup of coffee. Of course, I was young. The results were that I went from 247 pounds (6' tall) to 202 pounds. I am now 71 and might weight has varied only 5% up or down. After 6 weeks on low carb, I am at 185 pounds with countless benefits.
Thank you. Very informative!!! Although he is not into supplements, what in food or type of food (besides protein) does he make sure to have daily. It would have been interesting to know.
Hello, new subscriber here. Just wanted to say I really appreciate your videos and the timestamps are a fabulous idea 💥
Mike you have such great interviews! Thankyou!
Brilliant interview. Agree with everything Dr. Naiman said. Thank you so much for this.
Thank you for explaining the low fat v low carbs and why they both work. I have been grappling with this for a while now. Its great to finally understand. I've been IF and not doing as well as I would like.
My second time listening to this one. Ted knows how to relate info to the masses.
Thanks so much for sharing that feedback, Mike!
I have listened to this three times now. I absorb a little more information each time.
Great interview. IM keto and just recently upped my protein intake(because of previous fears) ..and feel absolutely Great and am dropping 3-4lbs a week!!
I was getting an hour of Florida sunshine (in shorts and a tank) everyday, and my Vit D was 27-33. Since using a supplement (Biotics Research Bio-D-Mulsion Forte Vitamin D, 3-5 drops a day) I'm now at 87. For some reason I cannot absorb Vit D from the sun. Also, I have not have a cold, flu or any other sickness since I started taking it seven months ago.
This is the most amazing nutrition/health info!
Love this vid , his ideas is what I've been thinking all along
Great interview, as usual, Mike. Love Ted’s voice in the low carb community. In some ways a contrarian, but I’m in search of useful knowledge and not an alternate dogma. Just watched Dave Feldman’s recent discussion of the lipid distribution system, and the system switching between fasting and feeding. It works very well with this conversation and certainly contributed to new insights for me. I recommend viewing that presentation with this interview. I now better understand Ted’s recommendation (as well as Phinney, Volek, etc) to focus on protein and reduce fat when trying to break a plateau without worrying about the liver producing glucose. In a low insulin environment the glucose production causes some blood glucose rise, which is very disconcerting to a former T2D off all meds ( A1C 4.8). But this conversation, along with Dave’s Insight, has helped calm this healing-former T2D, and given me a better tactical understanding of how to keep getting healthier. 👍👊
Great explanation of protein dilution problem! Naiman is the best at making sense of obesity for the average person.
This was incredibly insightful, thank you very much. I was always a bit worried that I took too much protein as most people say you shouldn't eat more than 20% of your daily meal in protein.
I'd tend to agree more with Jason Fung from the "Obesity code" book. I would *not* want to lose only fat, since I do want to lose / and have lost the excess skin, or ... Alzheimers plaques maybe.
Yes!
I think I do too.
@@KenDBerryMD ñ
I love Dr. Fung.
And recycle old decrepit cells.
Thanks for giving so many of us the opportunity to listen in on another fascinating conversation. Is that coconut pudding the one Deanna did a video tutorial on? I seem to remember watching one recently and this has reminded me I haven't made it yet.
Well worth the hour I spent watching this.
Many thanks to both of you.
Great discussion guys! Thank you!
One of the best, most informative yet.
fantastic, can't get enough of this guy...
This mostly tells me that Gary Taubes nailed in GC, BC.
I learn so much with your podcasts. Thank you very much.
My pleasure, thanks for that,
Mike
I think Ted Naiman's interview dove-tailed nicely with Dave Feldman' s remarks. Both men interview nicely. I especially loved Naiman's comments of getting out of one's comfort zone. I do this in terms of how much I move (through various exercise modalities) throughout the day. i need to explore exiting my comfort zone in other areas of my life as well.
I liked the Gabrielle Lyon one too. Well done.
How about the temperature in summer though? Is it still great to stay in cool air conditioned room or be outside and soak in the sun?
Man Gao Get that sun!
Thank you! Learned a lot here, very grateful for your work. Another question, does this mean we can switch back and forth between low carb and high carb depending on what we are feeling for as long as we can not eating simple carbs and fat together?
Heat shock is induced by both cold and heat. That is why the practice of a sauna followed by a cold plunge, or rolling in the snow, is so invigorating and effective.
And a video that did not bore me lol dang I was paying attention the whole video great job yall best video on you tube so far
Bout time some one just comes out and explains it all at one time and to where ppl can understand. Thanks alot best video so far I come across.
This was simply awesome!!!! Thank you so much! So informative!
This was really eye-opening. Thank you.
Anyone else immediately went to calculate their waist to height ratio after Ted mentioned it? Hahaha
This is interesting. So, I shot up to 258 lbs and did a prolonged fast a year ago (54 day water fast w/ salt and centrum men vitamins) and a year later I am at 185 lbs or so, I plan on getting to 170 lbs. I plan to build muscle with my current OMAD on a small surplus, so should I eat 250 grams of protein for every 125 grams of fat?
Currently, I’m doing a 55% fat, 35% protein and 10% carbs and I’m losing weight at about 3 lbs/week, with my exercise regime and consuming 2500 calories a meal with one 48 hour fast a week.
Something just clicked for me.
If your cells reject glucose then they reject energy.
There was a period when I was exhausted all the time. It got better once I started keto and took CoQ10. It was giving my cells energy through fat and supplements.
Really bad plug with the pudding but other than that pretty good.
He is doing what every husband should do believe and support his wife. I thought it was wonderful and made me hungry and interested.
Important takeaway for proper way to increase protein -- "keep it pulsatile." That is, modulate mtor throughout the day. Dr Lyon echoes this by referring to "bolus" or dosing amounts (30-50 g) for dietary protein consumption.
Thank you so much. This makes so much sense and I’m already healthy at 64 but this helps me to become more healthier appreciate it thank you
Great info! It's wonderful to see someone else in the keto community addressing higher protein levels in satiety on a keto diet.
Great interview!! Thanks so much.
Here's one thing I'd like to have an answer to. I like a warm house. But I take showers in which I spend big chunks of time in freezing cold water. (I alternate a minute of hot, a minute of freezing water.) I go for walks when it's cold outside, without a jacket on. So I'm wondering, do we really NEED a cold environment? Or is it just as beneficial to live in a warm house much of the time, but break it up with stretches of supercold?
This was awesome I'm going to listen to it again thank you
The problem with the theory that you can eat a lot of carbs as long as you don't eat fats is that it will only work if the carbs are all fruits and vegetables. Once you introduce Grains, especially processed grains, they get processed out so quickly that you're feeling hungry again in a matter of hours, vs Fats actually fill you up to where you're not hungry for a long time. An example is, if you eat a bowl of cereal and I eat Eggs and Bacon at 7AM for breakfast, by 10AM, you're hungry again and I'm fine until Lunch. That's the REALITY we've been living in for the past several decades.
Fantastic show. Did you happen to talk more offline about his single set to failure training? That sounds very interesting.
Outstanding work! I am very grateful for all the information on your channel !
I agree!
May consider a interview with Gabor Erdosi. "The important part is that it’s ultra-refined/synthetic food"
You two are my inspiration
Great video!
He looks like Messi
There!! You got it. I had this nagging feeling that he looks like someone, but couldn't place it. When that happens, it's like an itch that just doesn't go away. LOL
He's originally from Denver, but he went to med school in Cali, so he must have picked it up there. :)
And Christian Bale!
hell yeah he does. its almost creepy!
Excellent. Dr. Ted Naiman great talk and explanation.
Awesome podcast! Very informative but now I have a question: no carbs and fat together.. but I love my veggies with coconut oil! Have I been wrong this entire time ?
So eating meats and fat but also green veg and 2 pieces of fruit a day might be too much carbs ? And I’ll still get fat?
Brilliant interview
Thanks for both
Who knows whom to listen to? Right now I'm eating only in an 8 hour block and fasting for 16 hours and also getting more sleep. "The 8 Hour Diet" emphasizes eating healthily --which includes foods from all groups with none of the "you can't eat carbs with fat", etc. I've eaten the 8 hour way for 1 1/2 weeks now because I couldn't stand the thought of going on Atkins again and have lost 2 lbs--and I don't feel deprived. Now no food is "evil."
I lost 40 lbs on Atkins and kept it off for 3 years but got so sick of eggs and meat that they became revolting to me. I craved grains and fruits. My lipid profile was excellent but at quite a price when it came to enjoying life.
As far as I'm concerned grains, fruits and starchy veggies were put here on earth to be eaten and enjoyed.
This is in no way saying that low carb diets don't work or that they are bad for many people. After suffering emotionally on Atkins for 4 years--one year losing the weight and 3 years maintaining it--I've come to the conclusion that the best way to eat is the way that suits your needs and tastes--mindful eating, in other words.
Damn, well at least no one could say you didn't try. You sound like one tough woman Barbara.
@High Intensity Health if one has a deviated septum, do you still recommend trying the Somnifix?
I started using somnifix and I really feel the difference in my sleep quality. Thank you
Janet Tan Love that!
