Carb addiction is real. I know how it feels to walk around the kitchen looking for carbs or sweets, restraining myself while can't stop thinking about food. It's frustrating and skinny people just casually talk about damn moderation. LCHF and the fasting community is the only safe place in the world when it comes to food
Moderation! Drives me crazy when people say that. It’s not just skinny people.
I know what you mean.
I totally agree with your statement of looking for carbs in the kitchen. I was once one of those skinny people who never dealt with carb addiction. Somehow I got into carbs and I am an addict now. I put on over 50 lbs in a few years and I’m struggling to eliminate this demon from my life to get back to where I need to be. I apologize to everyone for not realizing what people are going through with carb addiction. Hopefully I can get back to where I need to be and beat this addiction.🙏🏻
@@deniseignatowski5302 Try doing Intermittent Fasting or Time-limited eating. It works.
@@deniseignatowski5302 I wish you the best of luck. It is a difficult challenge. I tend to do better when I start the day with a nearly carb free breakfast. eggs, meat, a bit of raw vegetable. It seems to set the tone for the day. Too many other techniques to mention in a short note but refer you to channels by Jason Fung, Sten Ekberg et al who provide information and encouragement.
Im a carb addict, I have been obese all of my adult life, have taken numerous nutrition courses, had both gestational diabetes and now Type 2 diabetes, and I have NEVER heard it explained like this!! This is the most helpful 15 minutes of information I have ever heard!
This is the most powerful statement in my four month keto/paleo/IF healthspan journey. "If you don’t eat carbohydrates, calories and
portion sizes become irrelevant!" So true!
While I don't disagree with the statement - it's important to note he states "BECOME irrelevant" (emphasis added) not that they "ARE irrelevant".
Some think keto means that calories/portion-sizes ARE irrelevant - which simply isn't true. If we eat - even keto - to excess, we won't lose (and could still gain) weight. There are some who eat as a form of self-harm - they need additional help via counselling/therapy, not just diet. There are also some (incredibly small, rare subset of people) who simply do not get the satiety signals that most of us do - those rare individuals may need to watch portions/calories.
Also, it's important to realize that the satiety signals aren't immediate. If we eat too fast, some may overeat *before* they receive that signal. (Some folks are just not capable of eating fast ... some of us - like me - can eat WAAAY to fast, LOL.) It's important to chew your food (aids digestion) and eat at a reasonably slow pace, imho.
While, over-time, properly eating a VLCKD (very-low-carbohydrate ketogenic diet) will allow those signals to prevent us from over-eating, it doesn't happen right away and it doesn't happen for everyone.
I don’t eat keto. I am vegan. For me, calories and portion sizes are irrelevant. Carbs are not the problem, refined sugars are.
@@Libb-oleffub Great for you. I could not be vegan as i have binged on fruit numerous times. How do you eat 1 peach? If I buy 4 I eat all 4 in one go
@@elinmansson5535 addicted to sugar. But even a few peaches wouldn’t harm you.
You are inaccurate.How stupid.If you eat butter,cream, fatty beef and eggs all day, you will obstruct your blood vessels sooner rather than later.
Why am I crying….? I feel as though I have been knocking on every door trying to find the answer to my addiction to carbs, sweets and every sort of crap…. It’s as though someone switched the light on in a dark room. This video was was so clearly explained, so easy to understand - I had to watch it several times. I’ve been considering a LCHF or Keto lifestyle for some months and have been doing my research from the likes of Dr Fung, Berry, Ekberg. All props to them, but this one really hit home. Tks Dr Cywes. With clarity of thought I feel determined and ready to grab the reins and take my health back. I’m so grateful for your willingness to share your knowledge with others. 😊
I suspect you will be fine bcuz you are following the best LCHF proponents out there (to date). 😊
You are not alone on this journey! Keep it up!
God bless you ❤ I was also so happy to jump into keto, but very simple, basic keto, without treats and snacks. Straight went into OMAD, and water fasting every 10 days ( two weeks) last month I'm mostly on bonebroth , bit meat, lots of eggs and my acid reflux are almost gone !!!! I stopped using drug (omeprazol I used daily for 13 years!!)
I'm crying too. I'm free now🙏
I realized that i was a carb addict when i went into keto/carnivore, for 3-4 weeks straight i had these random moments of extreme nausea , woke up every morning not being able to brush my teeth because of nausea and gag reflex being super sensitive. Now im in the process of becoming a better and healthier version of myself . 4 months ago i was 333lbs, now im 256 lbs, cravings are gone. I feel better now at 26 than i did when i was 16. Its people like you and dr. kenberry that helpped me open my eyes, and in some way also saved my life. Thank you.
Way to go! Keep up the good work, sis!
Wow, good for you! Stay focused on your goals !
Just so you know those weren’t withdrawals. You’re werent getting enough electrolytes and could have ended up in the hospital. Your body eventually adapted to keto diet but when you’re keto your body rids of electrolytes much faster so. Just so you know
@@paiger6058so how can you avoid that?
As a young child - age 6 or 7, I would drag a kitchen chair to the counter, stand on the chair to reach the bag of chocolate chips on the top shelf. I would also eat straight sugar cubes, like a junkie. Those are my earliest memories of craving sugar. My weight was normal until my 20's, mostly due to being physically active, but food was always an unhealthy way of dealing with emotions.
Very true.I always wandered why I could binge eat 2000 calories worth of cookies and chocolate in one "meal" and still not feel any fuller compared to the moment when I started eating the first cookie.This video offers the answer:because carbs don't have a feedback control and do not stimulate the release of leptins.Our brain doesn't count calories,only we do.And then we wonder why calorie restriction diets don't work!
Why does this makes so much sense? Because I experienced the same exact thing as you did. Is impossible for me (or anyone for that matter) to overeat on saturated fat and protein (such as eggs, steak, etc). But I can eat way more sugar and starches (especially bread and corn chips). And yeah, is the carbs that matter more than calories. Calories are meaningless.
Love it. I'm a sober alcoholic and THIS I get. Why isn't this information EVERYWHERE? I've been carnivore for the last several months, and I've lost a friend or two over it :( When I told one friend we never needed to eat another carb again as long as we live, he screamed at me and sent me "proof" that I'm wrong (he's carb addicted to the point of an eating disorder.) After another friend questioned me about fiber, I told her it wasn't necessary and she bent over laughing and told me I needed to see a doctor (she is sick constantly). Doctors and/or nutritional "experts" should be prosecuted for the harm they are doing. Just stop the friggin carbs already. I look and feel fantastic by the way :) I'm 55 and look 35... I do not get sick and my mental health is outstanding. This was not always the case. Yay meat.
lori h not real friends. Bye bye
Lori H....yes not real friends. I’ve learned not to even bring the topic up with family or friends. I have a rule I don’t ask what they eat, then don’t ask me what I eat.
Send your friends over to Dr Mabry’s blog, borntoeatmear.com He goes over this as well.
There is also a lot of nutrition info at biblelife.org I think, it could be .com
It is so easy to blame anything exterior to avoid blaming yourself... Just because your gut cannot tolerate carbs and fiber doesnt mean that carbs and fiber are inherently bad. It just means that you have a weak digestive system, probably from all the junk you must have eaten during the first part of your life. Carbs and fiber are fine, just not great if over consumed, same as anything really...
Ehh, meat, fish and eggs. Yaay.
I like his thinking that we don’t have a feedback mechanism for carbs because they are not essential. He explains why we get addicted to alcohol because of feel-good receptors in the brain. I believe the reason we get addicted to carbs is that the through eating lots of sugary and starchy foods we have cultivated gut bacteria that tell our brains that we need sugar to feed them.
I agree! Maybe Candida as well. I know when I fist cot out sugar, wheat, and carbs I get a sick feeling from the die off of the sugar loving organisms in my gut but when that's over I feel so much better.
@@loriradkiewicz4260 how long did that feeling last?
About a week to 10 days.
@@loriradkiewicz4260 That might be part of the keto flu
I have followed a LCHF way of eating for s as almost 3 years. My weight is healthy, my labs are excellent, and I never count calories or portion sizes. I have listened to hundreds of hours of lectures and videos about LCHF eating. I have never heard it described better than the Carb Addiction Doc.
Dr Eric Berg has a similar theory.
@@davegreene1198 Yeah, but he's not a real doctor....
@@thejeewee1910 he is a dr of chiropractic. He also has taken a lot of nutrition classes. He is very knowledgeable
@@thejeewee1910 exactly
@@angelgirldebbiejo Also, I'd like to add. Dr Eric Berg "IS" a scientologist!
I'm not a scientologist....but their research into herbal and homeopathic remedies are beyond superior to modern day medicines with less side effects. (As long as they are following a recommend dose)
Back in 1976 my dad called me a sugarholic. He was right!
So clear. I've been following Dr Cyves for some months. Just started watching ALL his you tube vids from start. Getting a real good education here. Been keto for nearly 6 years and at 70 feel great after so many bad years.
I wish I’d seen this 20 years ago. What a great message!
😯Where have you been all my life? This seems so simple. How did we get it wrong for so long?🥴
We get it wrong because we are bombarded with false, inverted information day in, day out.
Ancel Keys and the American Diet info that became the standard back in the late 70’s. I found the low carb info 2 1/2 years ago and was stunned about how everything I was doing for my health was upside down. 1 week into LCHF, I had to stop my hypertension drug b/ci no longer was hypertensive. Lost weight, felt better, younger. He speaks truth. He is new for me but I like the verification from many sources. Life is rich.
Butter Bob Briggs also makes it sound simple. Plus recipes and a secret tour of Walmart!
@@fainitesbarley2245 do you know what happened tp butter bob? Really like him but he stopped posting. Hope he is ok.
I stopped drinking liters of water some time ago after realizing my body doesn't need it. I only drink when I'm thirsty and I'm satisfied.
Yes me too
Me too :-)
Although I've heard from Dr's that if you wait till you're thirsty, you're already dehydrated. Wth?
@@stacyw3250 There's so much differing opinions on this.
Your videos have been life-changing for me. I watched the series you did on Low Carb USA and it really opened my eyes. I've now lost 51 pounds because of how well you explained the addiction pattern of carbs. Thank you and please keep posting videos!!
Please tell me what do you eat?
i've heard about this topic so many times but you really have explained it so simple and cut throught all the blabla
F
In the past when I was actively drinking I decided I was only going to drink 4 beers when I went out at night. Soon as my first beer was gone, the addiction took over and I drank way more than 4 beers....every time. That's why I don't drink any more.
This is so true ! When breastfeeding you can feel the thirst for water as you feed your baby. Incredible feeling !
You could give me wine or juice I can’t drink it , only pure and fresh water.
Never have I ever heard an addiction, to just about anything, explained so clearly and understandably. I have addiction beyond just carb one, and this fits perfectly to all others.
Both thorough and succinct. Simply brilliant explanation of why we get fat. The big takeaway...carbohydrates are not food. Love it!
Lucky you!
Brilliant! Carbs are not essential so there's no feedback control loop. If we don't eat carbs calories & portion sizes become irrelevant. FREEDOM! MASTERY!
Well said! Unfortunately most people, (yes, even fitness gurus, nutritionists, doctors) do not understand or apply the basic concept of essential vs non-essential nutrients. Your explanation of "feedback" ties it all in. Thanks.
Love Dr. Rob. This video has saved my life and and can save yours as well. Watch all Dr. Cywes videos!
It's as if a big cloud has finally passed in front of the sun , which is now brilliantly shining down upon us with the information we need to thrive. Thank you!
Hahaha- drinking purely for medical reasons! too cute!
So good!!! This makes so much sense.
you are so right when I went keto I developed and normal relationship with food. I developed a relaxed attitude about food, it was very freeing emotionally and physically.
Love it! You also gave me my new favorite medical term to throw around "Bullshit" and yes, I have used it on occasion when I was being handed bs.
I am so happy this is my doctor.
Does he do GP work? Once I'm back in the US I'll need a doctor
Boldly to the point....I learn more in 10 minutes here than an hour researching for myself
I've been watching similar videos for about a year, and you have a unique and interesting take. Good stuff. I completely agree with the inability to overeat real food. As I've become aware of how it feels to eat different types of food, I'm amazed how when eating carbs I simultaneously get full and want more. Eating meat, veggies and beans, I get full and don't want another bite.
Veggies and beans are carbs.
@@MsAnchovey Yes, but these 2 are hard to over-do. Because I had the same experience. Is the carbs (other than the 2) that I can over-do.
Thank you Dr Cywes. Of all the sources of information discouraging us from our addiction to sugar and starch, your argument is the most logical - so much so that, as you so rightly say, once we fully understand why carbs are not food, then everything neatly fits into place - you have literally described the Rosetta Stone that demolishes the paradigm we have been forced to accept since childhood and lays the foundation for a 'new' way of looking at nutrition
So accurate. Always knew I was a carbaholic.
Such a cute term though.
Me too.
Really good way of explaining a very important concept. I’m keto and I find that what he is saying is true for me. Keeping carbs under 20 a day also keeps my food addiction under control too.
You always talk about distracting your mind when you get a craving with an activity. I find weight lifting to be very effective. Exercise also lowers blood sugar.
You, doctor, are a brilliant man. This really hit home for me. Thank you!
Dr Cywes. You are a genius. Love your approach
This amazing video was interrupted by a bright jingly advertisement for Sanitarium Weet Bix (100% wheat). Hilarious.
The explanation, I’ve been waiting for my whole life!
This is the best Explanation I have a had on food addiction Oh my God you hit it right on the nail I’m going to share this with 5000 people on my Facebook
I'm going to share his videos (one every day) until my friends and family give in to his brilliance 😁
Thank you so much for all you do... Thanks to low carb/keto my blood work and weight at age 21 are significantly better than when I was in my early-mid teens. At 14 years old I was prediabetic with a fasting blood sugar of 107 (and rising), now my fasting blood sugar is 74!!!! All of my other numbers are better too. I feel like I've saved myself from so many future problems, I hope more people listen to your advice. I've been doing low carb before I discovered your channel but you really motivated me to stick to it.
I think it is so important for young people like me to make these changes now instead of later when serious problems develop
I’ve lost 40 lbs since November 2018 doing keto. However, I’ve been stalled since January even though I’ve changed nothing and I still have 50 lbs to lose. A Jason Fung Facebook page member suggested I listen to what you have to say! I’m only on day 2 of following your way & I already know it’s what my body has been wanting!! I literally cried after watching your videos because I felt relief knowing this info is what I’ve been missing. Thanks so much! Fingers crossed my weight loss starts back up! Ha!
I'd really like to know if you've been successful at losing more weight? I just today discovered Dr. Cywes's channel, and have been binge watching because eating the keto way is causing issues I just don't need to deal with. I've lost 47 pounds in the nine weeks I've been keto, but have around 90 more to lose, so I'm listening to far more reasonable advice than the people I've been listening to. Dr. Cywes makes sense, especially since his speciality is carb addiction.
I stalled on Keto after losing 45 lbs and was having trouble, wanting carbs. I knew I had to find something quick. I started BBB&E and watched Dr Berry. In 2 weeks, I'm down 6 lbs I had gained plus 3 more lbs. I know most of it is water but I'm back in control.
This makes so much sense. I have watched a couple of other doctors preaching carnivore diet but I could not clearly understand why the body craves for sugar when it is such a toxic. Your explanation makes sense to me. I have been eating mostly meat and eggs in my diet, but whenever I added more carbs back to my diet due to craving my belly fat would come back very fast. Then I would try go back to eating meat and eggs only to lose the weight. However my biggest concern when it comes to food is not the carbs but the vegetable oils and food additives they put in your food. MSG is everywhere because it makes your body crave for more food. Recently I learned that they use creamer instead of milk in many boba tea shops, and I saw places that use creamer/fake creams to make deserts like crème brûlée. It is simply impossible to eat out and what I can buy at grocery store is very limited.
This.
So simple, so accurate,. Brilliant.
I feel like I FINALLY get it ❤️
Thank you!!!
Dr. Cywes you are truly amazing and a brilliant doctor, taking care of all of us. I'm very lucky you have been our carb doctor for the last 12 years. Love the pod cast.
Wow. What a brilliant explanation!
I love this on so many levels! It answers why I could never eat a ton of steak when I was younger. I mistaken fullness for steak not agreeing with me. I know now it was my body telling me “Enough”. I now am Keto and absolutely love it! So glad I tried this WOE.
I like this guy (Dr) - you have a good style - easy to follow / understand. I might live to see 80 years old yet...
"Passing out isn't feedback control, that's toxicity." And just like that he ruined all the "good times" from my undergrad days!
🤣🤣🤣
For me, "Sugar crash isn't feedback control, that's carb toxicity".
Thanks for these liberating statements, makes it so much easier on my way to carnivore without feeling bad 🙏🏻
You are amazing!!!!!!!!!!! Thank you for your brilliance!!!!!! I work some docs who are carnivore talk nose to tail. Appreciate you!!!!!! Love the way you explain and your medical term BULLSH#T. lol
At 13 minutes in you talk about how our body knows how much fat and protein our body wants but carbs, not so much. Now I am carnivore and have peace of mind ane body. Thanks to all how have brought this knowledge to the minority that are seeking peace in and out..
I appreciate the information in this video. Thank you, Dr. Cywes. I am left with two questions:
1) I can relate to the addiction and lack of feedback with simple sugars, but my body does indeed feel very satiated for many hours after, say, a bowl of oatmeal.
2) It is hard for me to ignore how fit and healthy plant-based eaters look. I'm not talking about the vegans who can gorge on potato chips, but people who eat wholesome foods, which, along with leafy greens, include whole grains, like wild rice, quinoa, etc.
Would appreciate reader's thoughts. Thank you in advance.
I was a "healthy" vegan for 5 years after 12 years as a vegetarian. I ended up t2 diabetic which has been reversed by a low carb lifestyle.
Vegan food is almost all carbs: beans/rice/bread/pasta/potatoes, soy; etc. And I was one of the "healthy" vegans too! Whole grains, etc.
I never thought vegans looked healthy.
New Subscriber, Binge-Watching your past and current videos, Luving the Knowledge you provide.
This Video, reset my thinking 💭 and consuming habits of Carbohydrates. Starting a Carnivore lifestyle today, l just had a 6oz Protein 🍔 with 🧅 & 🫑 only. Morning and evening meals with 18hr fast 💨 from 3pm until 10am
Awesome explanation! Thank you!!
Thank you Dr. Cywes! Good to see you have your own RUclips channel now. I love your no-nonsense approach to the lifestyle. Will be sharing on my social media accounts. More than likely will piss a few people off again 😉
I hear ya. Most people hate being confronted with their addiction(s). At the same time they desperately want to be seen. Odd, isn’t it? I wonder sometimes whether a certain type of person can be addicted to Addiction Denial itself...?
Thank you so much for breaking this down to making
So much yes!! This is why I just have to not give myself permission to eat carbs, of any kind! Thank you for explaining all of this in an easy to understand way
Glad to see you have your own channel Dr Cywes
First let me say , I do ketovore and it has been great , BUT If you cannot get fat from real food then why is it every Dr promoting Keto also uses intermittent fasting and omad to achieve and maintain their desired weight? I myself am very strict with my own eating ( no carb creep) and If I eat too much real food which is all I eat I do gain weight.. not to argue but I don’t buy that theory.
RUclips doesn't get better than this!
This is an amazing video doctor! Loved it and I think your RUclips channel is gonna BLOW UP
Doc, your last sentence was the best Mic Drop moment. That was awesome epiphany moment. I sub'd a few days ago bc your vids are so easy to understand.
Your explanation is easy to follow and makes perfect sense to me. I'm a fan and will be sharing your videos. Thank you!
WOW, I’m so happy I found your videos,
Love this guy!! Makes so much sense.
Thank you. Very clearly explained.
Wonderful explanation. Thank you. I plan on sharing this. 👍🏻
Glad I found your channel.
Thank you, Carbohydrate( sugar) is addiction problem!!! It is a cheap, easily accessible and legal pleasure!!!! No legal age to purchase,!! Parent start you on this addiction journey from your first birthday!!!
I consider myself, as my mom would have said, "a smart cookie...." (sorry for carb reference).... but I learn something new from Dr. Cywes every time I listen to his channel!!
Thank you Dr. Cywes for breaking this subject of Carbohydrates down to a level that is easier to understand. You're educational videos are truly eye opening.
You don't see an ingredients label on a chicken, beef, veg!
This was so good! Thank you! I just started watching and it makes so much sense.
That was the clearest example of carb addiction I have ever heard. I now have a clear understanding what food truly is and my whole perspective has changed. I'm so glad I've found this channel. I have to tell my mom now.
Rule nr 1 for eating fruit: No
Yes, when you think about it, madness. All this sugar. Surely vitamins and fibres too but mostly sugar.....my goodness me, were we wrong guided....
So good!! Thank you!
I just discovered this channel today and it has been mind blowing ... so much information and the information makes sense. I can't thank you enough Dr. Cywes for the interpretation of our ancestral way of eating.
So glad to find this! GREAT INFORMATION!!! Thanks Doc!!! 🥰
I am laughing right now thinking about the carbohydrate controlled diet for DT2
I feel completely robbed. Why was this never taught in grade school? Great content, thank you!
Love this explanation...easy to listen to and understand. Thank you doctor!
The end point of the talk hit me like a freight train! How much sense did that make?
I love what you said here and how you explained it. I do have a question. You mentioned the basis of the keto diet being not eating carbs, but the keto diet does include carbs although limited. Wouldn't it be more correct to say the carnivore diet is the diet that most contains only "food" (fat and protein)?
Insulin is produced in response to different foods, so by changing your diet, you can minimize insulin production. That's the point of a ketogenic diet.
The carbs that are consumed on keto are exiremely low glycemic index foods. Many people do not see greens and non starch vegetables as carb, so while you are right , you are also being anal.
Anyone who says all carbs are the same and that all carbs are not food is not worth listening to. He's got it wrong on so many levels. Not all sugars have the same metabolic affect in the body. To say all carbs are the same is ridiculous. You asked a good question. People who can't answer it intelligently will say you are being anal. Before insulin, some doctors were curing diabetes with sugar. Sugar has been villified because it can and does have a healing effect and Big Pharma would lose a lot of customers and $$. Anyone who says sugar by itself causes obesity and diabetes is not worth listening to, they have no clue how the human body works.
That's why we advocate no carbs not a keto diet. Check out the rest of my episodes that cover this topic.
@@jillherrmann1918 there are only 3 sugars. Glucose galactose and fructose. It does not matter how the carbohydrates go in your mouth your intestine always breaks them down to those 3 Monosaccharides and that is what gets absorbed into your body. Period.
@@jillherrmann1918 Wrong!
80 ounces of Ribeye Steak???....I would die of steak inhalation
you are sharing amazing information! thank you so much I am 53 yrs and have been on a lifelong journey to understand carb addiction.
Thanks a lot Dr..... I have benefited a lot from you
This was an excellent explanation of why we crave carbs. The example of water vs alcohol and homeostasis was a great example. I never stopped to wonder why I craved a Kit Kat bar vs a steak. Also, knowing we don’t need carbs as food made sense. I have always eaten a basic diet of carnivore and some vegi’s. My labs were always right on point. I maintained a healthy weight without effort. When I was 53 I lost my best friend/nephew to addiction. The grief destroyed me and I became a sugar addict and gained at least 40 lbs. I worked with a therapist on the grief, acupuncture, forcing myself to move. I lost some of the weight and consulted a nutritionist who utilized the ADA diet. And guess what? I gained weight. I am now stuck at a plateau. With this new information I have a new understanding why any carb is now a trigger. I am committed to getting back to my baseline and this information helped. 😊
You use the word starch/carbohydrate alternatively, and mention keto as a healthy diet, but even in keto there's a limit to how much, say cauliflower, we can eat. I love oven roasted cauliflower with olive oil, and can eat at least a whole one at one sitting. But that's over 20 net carbs by itself. I think the diet that fits your self-regulating parameters is the carnivore diet. And you seem to suggest this in your example of how someone can't get fat by having limitless meat in front of them.
Dr. Cywes for Surgeon General!
Head of FDA!😊
Oh great now I can't use my excuse, I didn't pass out, it was feedback control
Hmmm, an interesting way to understand what my body is telling me.
I’m a ketogenic diet specialist and I believe we are on the same team here but we cannot lump together whole food carbohydrate sources from nature with pizza and donuts. Carbohydrates are real food. Potatoes, beans, rice, fruits- these are not the enemy. We have to be so careful in the delivery of this message because people become carbophobic and develop terribly unhealthy relationships with food.
It doesn't matter how whole in nature the food is. if you have an unhealthy relationship with it you shouldn't eat it.
Its not an "irrational, uncontrollable fear" (phobia) to recognize that I have an irrational and uncontrollable drive to continue to eat carbs, even after being satiated by a large meal? I am Irish and cannot drink alcohol due to a heart problem, so sugars became my "drug". Would you call sober alcoholics alco-phobic and consider them THEN to have an unhealthy relationship to alcohol?
@@HeyStranger138 It's not the same, try eating 3 big oranges, I guarantee you can't, and it's because of the fiber. At the same time, try drinking 1 l of orange juice, packed with sugar - you'll have no problem doing that, since it's pretty much liquid sugar. (the difference is the fiber) never wondered why asian and african people are slim, even though they are not eating stake and pork rinds 3x per day and have tons of carbs instead? It's because of the fiber, again. They eat whole grains and lots of legumes. You also need fiber in your diet and if you don't get it (there is none in meat), you'll end up with bowel/colorectal cancer, hemorrhoids and lots of other diseases.
Excess of anything is bad and let's not forget that keto was first developed as a treatment for epilepsy, so not quite something sustainable in the long term.
I am a sugar addict, that's why I am here and while I am thankful for the information from this channel, I will never do keto, as that's just another extreme. Plus I throw up if I eat too much fat or meat, my digestion slows down drastically and I get pretty bad acne. Red meat is labeled as a 2A grade carcinogen by the IARC, so I'm not surprised by my body's reaction to it.
I did manage to cut simple carbs for a while now and have complex ones, veggies/fruits instead and I never wanted to eat tons of those either. Lost weight easily, labs are amazing, skin looks great and I feel good.
@@HeyStranger138 wow your arguments are stunning 😂 please let me know when you find where exactly I wrote that I am right about everything. I was writing my perspective, as I also agree with the keto diet specialist and the facts that I enumerated to back my opinion are things we should think about. These are not simple things, but instead of attacking me, attack the facts that I've stated, that's how you have a constructive conversation about anything.
Last year I was seeing a clinical Psychologist and researcher. I explained to her that I believed that I was addicted to carbohydrates. Her faces became confused and she told me that was not possible since she would not be able to diagnose it. She explained that it was not in "the book". She then explained what "the book" was. I asked her if it was possible even though it was not in her book. She explained that while anything is possible, she could not professionally tell me that it is a possible diagnosis. I was very disappointed at her short sightedness. Thank you for speaking my language!!
Last night I was eating a Ribeye steak and roasted veggies with olive oil....it was delicious...but I could not finish because I felt full. That does not happen when I am eating carbs/sugar.
I’ve never heard this explained this way! It makes so much sense. Food equals animal protein and fat...everything else is carbohydrates which are easy to overeat and cause weight gain! Thank you doctor!!
I have been concerned with carbohydrates for quite some time and yet you have just blown me away with this new viewpoint shift. Brilliant and now a better understanding of what the problem is with controlling them. Thank you!
Dr, you are amazing, a great communicator, I finally get it!
I love your clarity, repeating when necessary , and pausing, it all adds up to excellent delivery of your messages to help people.
Thank you 😊 so much for simplicity. X
When I first heard the doctor on a podcast describe carbohydrates as an addictive substance I thought bingo!
thank you, your talks are so helpful. I understand that carbs are a poison for me. its now so much easier to simply not eat them.
