As a hairdresser I’m concerned about this doctors haircut! 😂
😂😂😂
😮
Too funny!!!! 😂
Buahaha!!!
That hair cut is hiding a big bald spot🎉
Had my yearly check up today. I’ve been doing keto for three months and have lost 30 lbs, blood pressure has returned to a normal 120/80, and my blood work was all in “normal” ranges. My doctor asked me what I was doing, and I told him just eating meat and non starchy vegetables, no sugars or starches. I was shocked when he said ok sounds good, keep it up. Maybe it’s because I didn’t say the word “keto”, but he seemed to be in support of my new way of eating. He’s a younger doctor, so maybe there’s hope for the future.
Been on keto since 2018 had blood work done about six months ago, and the doctor told me they were great and to keep doing what I was doing too 😊
It’s because you didn’t say keto.
Scary stuff that keto. 😂
Both my primary care doc and cardiologist are fine with keto… i am lucky!
That is code for "I cannot endorse your diet because I could lose my license, but I can say keep on doing what you are doing".
Anyone with hair like that has no right judging anything.
Don't dis Mr. HeatMizer! 👿
He needs some to eat a few ribeyes!!!
😂😂
Exactly my first thought. He looks so crazy😂
I felt the same way. He looks unhealthy as well.
Nobody of us, in the Mediterranean area, use canola oil... Nobody nows exactly what is the mediterranean diet. Regards from Italy
Dr Richard Makarness wrote "Eat Fat Grow Thin" around 1958 advocating keto. He was British, like John Yudkin, and in the early 70's wrote "Pure White and Deadly" which correctly identified sugar as a health risk as opposed to Ansell Keys' fat theory.
I love the title of that book. I read a book called “Eat Bacon, Don’t Jog.” It is my personal bible.
Keys and the Sugar Industry ridiculed Yudkin's findings, ruined his reputation and destroyed his career.
@@chuckleezodiac24I can’t think of any way to say that Keys had good intentions.
Can anybody else?😢😂
Keys bulldozed anyone who offered an alternative to his "hypothesis" instead of keeping an open mind. Science is an examination of our world and how it works and we should always be exploring better information and ways of doing things. Keys was anti-human and cared only for his own ego. Millions have suffered due to his influence. What an evil legacy.
I went Keto 5 years ago and lost 150lbs. Good thing I did. I needed Open Heart Surgery to replace a bicuspid aortic valve that had a 5mm hole in it. 62 years old. No blockages. I’ve debated Dr. Alo several times and showed him my lipids: Total Cholesterol=186, Triglycerides=46, HDL=62, LDL=115, VLDL=9
Dr. Alo didn’t know what to say about me being on Keto.
Awesome 👌 👏 👍 way to go ! I'm 6 years in and have felt all my toes since.
@@SimplyHuman186❤
My mom is going through the same thing, did you have the surgery or did it go away with Keto?
@@SimplyHuman186: _"... and have felt all my toes since."_
What does that mean? I'm three years in but I still have nephropathy in my toes. Are you saying I should feel it heal in time?
@@KenJackson_UStry B1 thiamine. Search Thiamine and neuropathy
Just the FACT that so many people have reversed Type 2 diabetes and obesity alone is enough for me. Your risk for heart disease is drastically reduced. But no one really wants us to have this information except doctors like you. Thank you.
He is so wrong. My lipids were in the 300s.
After 3 months on keto, my cholesterol dropped to 119 and triglycerides dropped to 98. My cardiologist was so happy and I had never felt better! I was 67 at the time
Dr.Berry says LDL goes up in one third of people starting keto but it goes down in one third. You're obviously in that second group, but different people react differently.
Yeah I wish these doctors weren't so ignorant that they could see their entire nutrition outlook about fat and protein was 20+ years outdated.
Is it ignorance or corruption? Who funds the studies? Who funds the medical schools? Who funds the AMA and American Heart Association? Corporations are loyal to one thing: PROFIT. Who profits from the current system?
I think they can see the science and nutrition within in those studies but money talks. Bs walks. LOL Sadly, its the state of the world or USA we are currently living in today.
Lol. “Everyone I see has heart disease,” says the cardiologist. Well, I guess that would make sense, since he’s not a gynecologist.
That is hilarious
I will stay with you Dr. WESTMAN ❤
This man should be more worried about who ever did that to his hair than about how much fat I eat.
I don't really care what he says about keto and cardiovascular health.
All i know is that i was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes over 15 years ago with a low C-peptide of 0,1, but since I started cutting the carbs, staying with high protein and moderate fat i've now stopped injecting insulin (after 15 years) completely with blood glucose staying in a range of 4-7mmol/litre.
Note: It seems like cutting down my dairy consumption was the last puzzle piece to finish the job!
So now i eat no gluten, fruits or starch.
Low amounts of dairy, moderate vegetables, high meats, heart, liver, shellfish and fish and no more of these toxic injections seems to be needed!
That's incredible!!! It must feel like a miracle for you. I'm so happy for you. ❤🙏🏻
Hello Hedgehog, great information. May I ask why no Dairy? How about butter and cheese?
I don’t believe I have ever heard of a type I diabetic ever going off insulin with just keto diet. Congratulations!
@@LinhPhamVietNam
I eat butter but it doesn’t feel as good as lamb fat or beef fat.
Cheese😂 is highly inflammatory and has meaningful lactose, sugar.
Did your pancreas start working again? You said you no longer inject insulin, but you must be using some formula of insulin with type 1 diabetes? I am puzzled.
This ‘doctor’ is full of red flags, for me….
First, his appearance is disturbing to my eyes. If his way of eating (and being a personal trainer) is so superior, he should be the epitome of health.
Second, the fact that he had no clue that The Atkins Diet was actually from the 70’s (my father was on it when I was a child). That’s just lazy research.
Third, downplaying what Dr Jason Fung has done & presented as a lifeline to individuals in deep need of a way to reverse diabetes and lose weight. (He was a critical part of my weight loss & lifestyle journey; 120 lb in 1.5 years)
Fourth, Dr Alo’s history of occupations which shows he seems to flit around without much focus. I’m loathe to take advice from someone who seems to lack dedication to a particular field and appears to be shilling his book vs using what will best treat his patients. Studies are fine, but reality and results outweigh that, in my mind.
Thank you for so eloquently dismantling & refuting this man. You are truly a doctor with integrity!
This Banting Diet is the longest fad ever. Its been going for 159 years now...
Alo needs to trash keto because it's bad for his business.
I doubt that. Even the knee surgeons, and heart surgeons, that put people on a keto diet they still are booked to the gills from all the other people that won't.
I think you're underestimating the amount of burger buns and fries people eat every year and overestimating the amount of people that are willing to take on 150 to 300 dollars worth of debt and spend 7 years of their life in college and then another 5 to 20 years to get good.
Because not only do you have to go to med school but you also have to specialize.
It's kind of hard to tell someone that you know $200,000 of student loan debt was basically just you learning all the wrong crap. Sorry XD.
Don't get me wrong he does at least need to make 2 million dollars, 10% for college loans and the rest of it is living expenses and savings, before he can risk his job doing something that actually makes sense.
Sicken jädrans 🤡...😅

I started low carb and did it for 3 months to see if it would remit my diabetes, and it did. I've just celebrated my 2 year anniversary. I've noticed when I eat more carbs that I get hungry faster. I'm 66 and it took me at least 1 year to understand that I needed to increase my meat and protein intake and to get my head around the fact that it is okay to eat saturated fat. Once I started doing that I was more satiated and it became even easier to continue. I now look at food as fuel.
This has been my experience also. I’m about 30 years younger than you, and the transition has been a challenge but I’ve managed well.
It seems even if I eat a small apple or grapefruit, I want to pile on one after another. Then I get heart burn and feel like crap for 3 days until all those carbs have left my entire system.
How much salt do you add to your water? I have to add quite a bit to feel good.
@@KrummyProductionsI add Lite salt (contains sodium and potassium) to my coffees, and salt most of my food. I don't measure how much.
Keep up the good fight, Dr. Westman! This nutrition ship is slooooooow to turn.
I love the restaurant analogy. “Why is that restaurant so crowded?” So they decided that was THE only answer and shut down their minds to other possibilities.
Again, thank you for your help.
3 stents in 2014, heart attack 2017 so I knew the SAD was killing me. Went low carb(Atkins) Jan 1, 2018 for two weeks than found Keto. Now my Trigs is 68, A1C 4.9. I think I'll stay with low carb/Keto.
Just wondering if you're doing Aspirin or any similar antiplatelet? I wish you all the best!!❤

I just saw my cardiologist today for the follow-up after my stress test and he said I had absolutely nothing to worry about even while on carnivore and Keto
❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊😊😊
Dr. Westman, I had a full blown seizure four days after starting statins. I stopped and was fine, but, the doctor made me get a neurological workup because "the statins could not have caused it." Of course it was the statins, as it happened in concert with them and went away without them. My takeaway was that the doctor would not report this as a side effect of the statins. I wondered how many other reactions that "statins couldn't cause" go unreported.
Well, I can understand that it could have been an unhappy coincidence, too, right? Things that happen together aren’t necessarily related. Correlation is not causation. That’s what many doctors are using to recommend against your keto diet.
💯💯💯
@@bonnieo8 Correlation is not causation, but the doctor has the precise obligation to report the effect, and somebody else will establish whether there is a causation effect.
@@bonnieo8 Thank you, Bonnie. We all know the fallacy of confusing correlation and causation. I can say it was a striking correlation, with no other newly introduced factors, and, that the body reactions prior to the seizure began again with reintroduction of even a half dose of statin. Sometimes circumstantial evidence is overwhelming, as when you find a trout in the milk, as Thoreau pointed out. I personally felt this was on of those cases. I don't do a keto diet, just eliminated processed foods, which include sugar and flour.
Thank you so much❤😂
All I know is Keto works. I went on my first keto diet 25 years ago before they called it keto, under the guidance of a brilliant nutritionist and lost 105 pounds and felt great. Whenever I go off keto and back to the traditional American diet I get fat again and have to return to the keto lifestyle. I'm in my middle sixties now and have tons of energy, almost too much, and I have to exercise so I can sleep at night. Kudos to Doc Westman for carrying on the tradition of the great Dr. Atkins.
Almost a year and a half keto/carnivore diet never been healthier in my life lowered my high blood pressure lost 55 pounds put on tons of muscle no longer have anxiety or depression no longer have acid reflux disease my neurological symptoms from my cerebral palsy have definitely improved I no longer have blurry vision I can go on and on not to mention we’ve been eating an animal-based diet as a species from millennia we are carnivores!
"I'm an arrogant expert on everything and I'm selling a book" just about sums it up. I think he sniggers a couple of times.
I really love how some doctors are saying that saturated fats are bad and not acknowledging that most people are eating saturating fats in the context of diet of processed carbs. Maybe saturated fats are bad in this context or they are not. But most people that are eating low carb diet are eating processes junk. Context matters.
I have congenital heart disease. I was only getting more metabolic problems over the years. On a “normal government guidelines diet” changed to high fat, medium protein no carbs.
Now I am in the best shape of my life.
Thanks will rather listen to people like you that the cardiologist with blinkers on.
Calories are NOT created equal is why it’s worthless counting calories. …. Sad this isn’t being talked about
Studies have proved it to be so regarding weight. May not be the healthiest measure, but it seems to be the surest.
Lowered my hsCRP from 25 to 2 in 18 months of following a strict keto diet. Slipped off for 2 years by eating carbs and my inflammation went up to 15. Now back on keto with the emphasis on managing my insulin which is what causes inflammation (NOT saturated fat).
Hi Dr Eric!
Just wanted to share I have seen 10 endocrinologists over 20 years and not one of them diagnosed or looked for my extreme hyperinsulenemia. (that was killing me )
Why are we not suing their back sides for incompetence. Maybe change will come if we start holding them to their ignorance.
FYI. cured myself with fasting and keto. 18 months in. Same as everyone else...I feel amazing.
Usually doctors blame keto for raising a person’s LDL. Glad yours got cured. May I ask: what was it before?
@bonnieo8 slightly high.
But haven't had my mu version checked for 2 years. I don't need to. My body is telling me everything I need to know.
Awesome
❤😊😊😊
I think Harvard just released results of some study blaming hi fat diets for bad health.can’t wait to see you poke holes in it.
Thanks for your professionalism
Yes, that it causes Type 2 diabetes! Give me a break. How could anyone who calls them a researcher or scientist could fathom how meat could cause this.
I had my best weight loss success ever on the South Beach diet back in 2005, but I had to stay on Phase One the whole time. If I tried to move to Phase Two and add some carbs I stopped losing. I lost 33 pounds in two months. My belly fat fell off, my cheekbones reappeared to the point that my sister walked right past me in the supermarket and didn't even recognize me!
Thank you Erich for debunking this clown
please show a modicum of decorum and respect. it's "Dr. Clown."
Which clown is the doctor?
Thank you, Dr. Westman for pointing out about saturated fat. I’m beginning to believe that there is an anti meat, anti animal products movement going on.
If you question his hair then question everything coming out his mouth 😂
I was thinking that myself, if he is so unaware of his stupid hair then I’m not sure he will be perceptive enough to understand diet
😂
Thank you, Dr Westman. You are bringing the science! (I have listened to many hours of Dr. Fung - this fellow has misrepresented him.)
I am an ex Hypnotherapist and nutritionist ( most of my nutritional training I ignored...I followed the rebels....they made more sense to me) and my default diet for my weight loss clients was a Ketogenic diet. (Modified Atkins basically) It was also my go to diet for anxiety and depression. Along with supplementation of fish oil and b vitamins to correct deficiencies from the S.A.D. diet. ( plus Hypnosis of course) It worked like a miracle as the keto diet usually does. I personally became diabetic last Jan. ( after over indulging in junk food and drink over the christmas party season and getting off a keto diet for the preceding 3 months) By January I had blurry vision, was thirsty all the time and peeing like a race horse and I was also inflammed and sore. I knew the signs of diabetes so I checked my fasting blood sugar and it was OFF the charts. 7.5 to 9. and it wouldnt go down. Thats full blown type 2 diabetes. But I didnt bother seeing a Dr. Most would prescribe insulin and metformin. Why bother? I knew exactly what to do. I put it into complete remission in a few weeks of a hard core keto-vore diet with intermittant fasting, and moderate exercise . ( go Atkins and Dr Fung) I also used berberine and other supplements like chromium , thiamine and magnesium to promote proper energy utilization. I got a CGM moniter to keep a close eye on my blood sugar and my insulin sensitivity had returned to normal in four weeks. I Tested this by having carbs at certain times and my blood sugar quickly returned to baseline. Luckily I caught it quickly because the remission came about just as quickly. If I had not been familiar with the symptoms of diabetes I might have dug myself a deeper pit. Why Keto gets bagged so much is beyond me. To paraphrase Confucious " He who says it cannot be done should get out of the way of the person doing it". Keep up the good work Doc. I enjoy watching these reaction videos. You are a calm voice of reason in a raging sea of disinformation.
❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉😊
Just subscribed after watching your balanced view point on dr berg 🙏👍
I’m a 76 year old female with high BP heart desease and HF and had thyroid surgery..no cancer. I am gradually going into KETO..I LOVE MY VEGGIES. So I limit my carbs to one slice of bread. I have fish as in sardines and salmon sometime tilapia…chicken and have just added meat. Limited my sugar intake dramatically. I am loosing weight…but not drastically which I like as I gradually lean to more keto diet. I do feel better..have more energy. It Will take some time for my body to get more normal weight… Thank you for this info.
Why does Dr Alo have fluid retention puffy spots under his eyes?
Dr Westman’s best video so far to me.
Lost 50lbs (1,81m 103kg- 79kg) and I will keep on following DR. Westman forever ! My Doctor wanted me, to take statin drugs ,but I have not ,because all the other markers are in (perfect) range and I am wearing my teenage years jeans again! (LDL was increased since my first blood test in my life)
he said canola oil.....I heard this is the cause of oxidation and really needs to be avoided.
Actually, Dr Alo seems keen not to be offensive but fundamentally caught in the old paradigm.
Your videos that help clarify the facts are incredibly helpful. Thank you.
I recently went to see my doctor. She was very happy that I had lost 40 pounds, Lowered my blood glucose and blood pressure. She asked me how I did it and I told her I ate low-carb for six months. She said great now that you’ve lost weight I need you to get off keto because that diet will kill you. She said “you’re going to lose weight but if you continue to do it, you’re gonna pay for it in the end!” Originally she didn’t even give me advice on losing the weight, but now that I’ve lost the weight she gave me a sheet of paper telling me what diet I need to follow from now on. 😏
Yeah sometimes I wish doctors had zero nutrition Instruction
❤😂
@@richardwburrill9247 😂
This worked doc.
Oh that's great! Don't do that anymore.
WHAT!!!!
As a thermal engineer, I can say with 100% certainty that calories don't matter. Calories is a measure of thermal energy. The body uses biochemical energy. The 2 are not related. Calories in a simple way to measure a form of energy contained in food but simplified things to the point where it is wrong. Macros matter, not calories. How much energy your body gets from those macros and what your body does with that energy is what determines what impact that food has on you.
I did Adkins years ago & was meticulous in keeping track of calories as I looked at Fat and saturated fat to keep these low. When I was tracking Adkins, I was eating between 3000-4000 calories daily and lost 15 pounds in 2 weeks; I was beside myself....how could I be eating all these calories and be losing weight? Unfortunately Thanksgiving came up and I splurged back on carbs. Gained all the weight back and then some, started Keto about 4 years ago with some weight loss (30 pounds) with further weight loss after 3 years. It also took that long to see changes in my blood parameters which I never paid attention to, until Keto.
It took 3 years on keto to bring your LDL down?
Mine is high. And wanting to know if it ever normalizes.
Atkins was a super smart man. I started Atkins over 20 years ago. No calorie counting just eating what he said to eat. Lost weight and maintained it ever since.
Statins also raise the risk of getting diabetes apparently. 😵💫
They do
@@uaebifvideo5472Yeah, that’s why I wrote it.
They also raise calcium deposits ! Yikes!
I don’t know how this ignorance exists still.
It seems that ignorance often follows the money😢
Until patients take the lead to research and get educated, these doctors will still lie to make money!!.
I would like for him to share his lab results because he does look healthy, the dark bags under his eyes tells me he is not healthy.
So appreciate you!!!❤thank you🎉 Dr Westman, I celebrate YOU🎉🎉🎉🎉
Show me the double blind, randomized control trial studies. We’d love to see them
Dr. Westman's point at 27:20 is right... it reminds me when I'm teaching logic, the most helpful advice for detecting bad reasoning is to look very carefully at the EXACT conclusion being drawn from evidence. If the conclusion is vague, your confidence in it should be vague as well.
Diabetes the number one risk factor for heart attack and stroke. High carbs= High glucose.
Jason Fung was a step for me into getting much healthier. And he is completely correct about calories, as we don’t eat calories as it’s a measurement of heat and heat weighs nothing. It’s about how much food we eat and the how the body uses it or doesn’t use it.
I've been eating a huge quantity of calories now that I'm on carnivore, and I'm still consistently losing weight.
I'm always curious if the LMHR person falls under the same guidlines. I am lean / family history and personal markers for HD and tho I improved other health marker like high bp and RA symptoms, and I loved a higher fat version of Keto, I am playing it safe with the low carb/low saturated fat/ leaner meat version in hopes of lowering my apob- continue to study and listen, learn and I thank you for your calm and informative replies to the information out there.
Hi Dr. Eric. I decided to try the Keto diet and like the content you provide on this channel. But shortly after starting the keto diet, I went into afib (I have had afib on and off for about 8 years and take flecainide, metoprolol and eliquis). So I started thinking maybe the keto diet is a trigger so I did a random search and there was one study that suggests a link. Do you know of any dangers for afibbers doing the keto diet?
If you wanna read this Gollum’s book it’s called, Lord of the Rings!
I thought that face was familiar then you mentioned Gollum... No wonder... LoL 😂😂
2 of my former cardiologists were pushing me to eat a proper human diet, aka keto to lion diet.
Dr Westman,
Considering we are now in a crowdfunding paradigm, is it possible that the global keto community could actually start funding the studies that would be useful to have?
Whoa, full stop, Dr. Westman, I'm surprised you still follow the Calorie model.
On carnivore, I've eaten approx 3x total "calories" I formally ate, and lost over 100 lbs.
He's a Cardiologist ? Looks like he a guitarist for the Rolling Stones. LOL
Well said
I'm very grateful that Eric weston does this 'reacts' series. This cardiologist even misrepresents facts- Gary Taubes is not a doctor (Phd) and never has claimed so.
Excellent explanation / critique once again. But wouldn’t it be great if these two “brains” could get together one day and have a civilised conversation about all this conflicting interpretation of science and data?
It's just proof that the information is not conclusive.
"...but if you want to live a long time..." ugh that line...
Although, he has been putting saturated fat in his hair!
It's Heat Miser!
How do you find doctors that understand low carb or keto?
You can’t take anyone seriously who wears his hair like this guy does
When I was diagnosed as prediabetic in 2020, I was told to go Mediterranean diet.
My dietician gave a list of foods that was totally different to Alo's list.
It stressed no beans, all protein mostly from fish ( sardines, mackerel etc) even promoting 200ml of red wine ( malbec I believe) . And any bread, was dipped in olive oil. It's a good diet for some.
But it didn't work for me. Only keto did, after doing 5-2 diet, atkins, low fat and calorie controlled diets.
I do ketovore and feel great 👍
Someone should tell Alo , the 1980's called and want their hair back....😂😂
You're blessed, my friend. Gave up all my favs: bread, pasta, taters, beans. (Not wine 😉) Lost some weight but nothing near as radical as the significant cuts in the diet. Wish there was a better answer....
❤😂 thanks for taking this seriously may be pure carnivore would work
Simply losing weight does not improve all your markers. Changing your diet will improve your markers and sometimes lower your weight. Calorie restriction will lead to yoyo dieting and weight gain. He tells such whopper. You really only need to catch him once to see what hes doing.
An honest person can make a mistake but you don't tell bold face lie after bold face lie.
❤❤❤😂 also the cardiologist sounds like an angry emotionally unintelligent creep
And I am Somewhat angry with him😂
the hair would make me stand up and walk out of the doctors office.
He looks like he needs to be on a keto diet…maybe he will stop looking all crazy😂😅
They’ve proven that sugar is just as addictive or more addictive than cocaine! But somehow it’s OK to put it in everything?
Hi, bye the Paleo cardiologist book by the dozen and give them away. A huge portion of the book is bibliography showing the scientific status. Which one of your books would you recommend to give away to people the same way?
Dr. Westman,
You mentioned this comment a few times, " Why would you take a prentative to prevent _____, when you don't have it?". But that's the point of taking or doing anything as a "preventative".. to prevent getting it. What am I missing?
It’s no good being a diet agnostics if you have type 2 diabetes 🤦🏼♀️ Low carb and keto have worked wonders for me. Dr Aseem Malhotra who is a London based cardiologist advocates low carb diets plus he’s against statins which is all good for me 🇬🇧
I listen to Dr Fung a lot. He has never said that calories don't matter. He says they're not ALL that matters. Right there it tells me that this man is a liar and not to be listened to.
right on, bro. Love the Fungster! Alo fornicates on an Alter of Lies & Distortion.
What's kind of interesting to me is that all these people that are trying to make the case of keto not being healthy look more unhealthy than the people doing keto.
I give this doctor credit for the fact that atleast he didn't completely shut the keto ideal down all the way.
Alo stuck in the 1980's with his dietary advice...
Not necessarily. Keto is fringe. There is no more concrete information than what there was before. If there was clear evidence, everyone would have to be on the same page.
@mariad1151 Keto/low carb is certainly _not_ fringe. It was arguably the default nutritional state for early modern humans until the agricultural revolution. _Newer_ studies are showing that the benefits go far beyond simply weight loss, like Alo claims, and extend to real metabolic changes that improve health. "Experts" like Alo are _stuck_ in the cholesterol/ CICO mindset or have plant based biases like Walter Willett over at Harvard. They simply will not allow themselves to see the obvious connections between deranged glucose metabolism, diabetes, and heart disease. "Heart healthy grains" is one of the _biggest_ nutritional lies of the 20th century.
@@funkfamily4165 I'd like to believe the rhetoric, but if the data were clear, there would be no division. A fact is a fact. Keto is fringe in medicine & is on trial (vs conventional medicine). It has not been able to prove its claims. Carb-insulin was disproven, & even the keto influencers got up on stage & acknowledged that high LDL goes hand-in-and w a keto diet. We used to say, "the more you stir the pot, the more it stinks." I'm trying to see what opponents say, and much of the criticisms makes sense.
@mariad1151 OK, now you're just spouting BS.... _you_ go ahead keep dumping sugar into your body then.....
I am 70 years young. 5 years ago I had City angiography. CAC was 480 and had calcification in LAD . I was not overweight but CVD is strong in my family. I lost 25 pounds and my blood markers changed.

Should I continue low cab high fat diet?
Thank you ❤
I think a carnivore diet would fix his hair.
...and frankly, a shower couldn't hurt.
I do carnivore diet because I can’t control my carb intake on keto.
The quality of Cholesterol is what matters...no? Perhaps he would be open to a debate with Dr Ovadia. Oh,,,and buy my book !
I can assure you that this doctor is wrong. I'm now 12 years post double bypass surgery. I'm 11 years post low carb and 4 years carnivore. I'm doing fine. I also have virtually no plaque in my arteries. Bonus...I lost 137 pounds. My doctor says she knows no one who has lasted even 10 years post bypass surgery. Keep going doctor. You are doing God's work and I am thankful.
I wonder what the future holds for these out dated medics ignoring their patients holistic successes in healing themselves and what law suits are coming down the road.
medicine has become snake oil.
Don't follow this guy, nor do I know who he is ... probably for the best. Thank you Westman for your valid knowledge.
He is even wring about "achieving a calorie restriction" . Just watched Kelly Hogan the other day. When she changed her diet from carnivore to high fat carnivore she documented everything. She was eating 3000 calories a day on average with high fat. Started at 142lbs, lost 7lbs. Her energy went up so started going to the gym. Gained 3 lbs back of lean muscle. So unless 3000 calories for a 137 lb woman is "calorie restricted" then calorie counting is bs. My experience is if you cut out carbs you lose weight. No calorie counting required. If you stall up the fat.
I mean just look at that hair, looks like a 6th grader from circa 2000. He also is a doctor that takes a satin just because he thinks his cholesterol needs to be low. Absolute madness
When talking about the Med diet, why do people ignore cheese? French, Italians and Greeks eat an average of a pound of cheese per week! This contains a lot of saturated fat.
I wanted to respond to the video where you were being silenced. She said that the Powers-That-Be stated that aspartame is not bad.
I wanted to believe aspartame was fine. But the very first time I tried a Diet Coke using aspartame, I think I was 17, and it gave me a Terrible headache! I spoke to my friends and said, "give it time. This aspartame stuff is not good for you!"
Dr Alo is not the picture of help
It is always "The Science"....
Is that Rumpelstiltskin?
I'm a carnivore and work out in a gym 4-5 days a week. I do better now than I ever did on keto or any diet that included plant foods. I don't agree with anything I have heard this doctor say.
So why my mother is skinny and still she has high colesterol, high triglicerides, is on blood pressure meds? She actually never eats breakfast but she does eat kind of alot of carbs in her 2-3 meals.
So why this doctor Alo says that only obese people have risks or cardiovascular events? When my mom is skinny the whole life.
By only looking at *mortality* from heart disease it misses the point that surgery has made massive progress. In order to determine the effect of a diet on heart disease one should look at the incidence rate.
I had to hunt to find your presentation , and agree you are being censored ☹️just like fb censored my access to my state representative ☹️
