In order to obtain the metabolic flexibility which I think is optimal, many people who are broken by decades of metabolic gang rape need to use IF and ketosis to push the reset button. I kind of aim to be able to handle all kinds of macros, as long as they come from whole foods (that's the central point); but first I need to fix a lot of issues.
Wow, I've listened to Robb on and off for a couple of years but this was his most fascinating talk. Much of this information and thought is new to me and I really appreciate both him and LCDU sharing.
Nearly everyone forgets that humans most everywhere around the world have access to foods our ancestors did not. Not just highly processed foods... but also the tortillas and the beets and carrots Wolf mentions were available only 'a wink of an eye' ago, in evolutionary terms. It does not take a genius or an advanced college degree to check out the wild ancestors of domesticated plants now common in our diets. Wild wheat and wild corn, from which the tortilla is made, are excellent examples. Those species, and others like beets and carrots, were smaller and contained a lot less starch (chains of sugar molecules) and sugar than the domesticated cultivars (cultivated varieties) - and they had lower yields. Pull up a Queen Anne's Lace plant and compare that to the carrots from your garden or the supermarket, for instance. The changes in fruits - larger, sweeter, longer bearing seasons - may be even more dramatic. AND those foods were not available in either the abundance or as constantly all year long as grains, high-starch vegetables, and sugary fruits are now. Early humans, according to anthropologists, tended to live and migrate along ocean shores and rivers - where food was most always abundant, food that was a good source of protein and high in fat. The evidence is clear, as well, that our so-called 'primitive' ancestors tended to hunt large mammals to extinction. (This may be due, at least in part, to the practice of driving entire herds over cliffs, as it is difficult to impossible to single out one animal from a herd if one is on foot.) After the depletion of game animals in a region, farming of grains and other starchy foods became common. Note also that traditional hunters, like predators, eat the organs and the fat first, and eat the muscle later... or leave it for scavengers if they can find more prey. We tend to forget the once common knowledge that animals were preferentially hunted, and farmed animals later were harvested, when they were fattest. It is not disputed that humans have no need for dietary carbohydrates. Or that humans will die without a minimum of certain fats, though the general public seems unaware of these things. Paleoanthropologists can tell almost at a glance whether ancient human remains came from a person who was from a 'hunter-gatherer' or farming culture - because of the physical development and better teeth. See 'Nutrition and Physical Degeneration' by Weston A Price, 'Paleopathology and the Origins of the Paleo Diet' by Dr. Michael Eades on RUclips, and 'The Case for Nutritional Ketosis' by Dr. Stephen Phinney, PD also on RUclips for more info.
Our ancestors also didn't get to to live until 90. In my view it just makes sense that it is more based on the environment and genetics. It just makes evolutionary sense that we're pretty adaptable to whatever is thrown at us. We just need to find the quantities and the specific effects that certain foods give to each individual.
This presentation is astounding. I am amazed how much the arguments and health/nutritional philosophy presented here overlap and are complementary with the ideas that Chris Masterjohn has advanced in his articles, podcasts and videos in recent years. The analysis is so much deeper, more rigorous, and intellectually satisfying than the dogmas propounded by the Procrusteans who endorse the only one true diet allegedly best for everyone. What is common to both Wolf and Masterjohn, it seems to me, is a very solid grounding in physiology and biochemistry conjoined with an integrative (and not merely analytical) approach to health and nutrition.
I just did a Google search to see if Robb and Chris had ever interacted before. And indeed they have! robbwolf.com/2018/05/08/episode-394-chris-masterjohn-phd-nutritional-status-evolution-and-keto-and-epilepsy/
How interesting that, since I stopped eating all processed and hyper-palatable 'foods' (more than 2 years ago) I no longer overeat or binge or ever have the urge to do so. Nowadays I eat a couple of meals a day that are (a) a good protein: meat/offal, fish, egg, cheese (b) cooked with a good unprocessed fat: lard, butter, cream, avocado/coconut/olive oil with (c) low carb veg on the side. I have NEVER felt better and more stable in weight and mood. The improvement in mood was one side effect I didn't expect. That food industry admit to searching for and developing hyper-palatable 'foods' to sell to unsuspecting population that is detrimental to their health is shocking but not surprising. It is the elephant in the room, or rather, the obese human in the room that is told to "move more and eat less" when in fact all they need to do is to stop eating the processed 'foods' and switch to real unprocessed nutrient-dense food.
Other things to look at - which does the most damage to the human condition? Cancers thrive on glucose, Alzheimer's is improved by ketones, constant glucose damages blood vessels, capillaries. I think this may indicate that ketosis is the default position, and glucose metabolism the reaction to times of plenty, maybe for the purpose of building fat stores? The damage that glucose does to the human condition to me indicates this isn't the default system.
Accumulated exposure to high levels of glucose seems maybe to become a problem in later life - see e.g. "Genetic influences on glucose neurotoxicity, aging, and diabetes: a possible role for glucose hysteresis" or "Secrets of the lac Operon: Glucose Hysteresis as a Mechanism in Dietary Restriction, Aging and Disease" which notes "it has been hypothesized that cumulative toxic effects of glucose drive at least some aspects of the aging process and, conversely, that protective effects of dietary restriction are mediated by a reduction in exposure to glucose..." ' But like others I think a healthy body naturally cycles in and out of ketosis. For example I've heard that animals that need to hibernate over winter naturally enter a state of "insulin resistance" in late summer, early fall, so that they can accumulate fat reserves.
Agree 100% - I eat zero carb carnivore at a caloric deficit 4 days a week and remain in ketosis and metabolize fat like crazy. I also follow a 20/4 IF regimen on those days. I then increase my calories and cycle in a bit of dairy, nuts and some veg on weekends for 3 days and regain what I lost - have maintained a 60 lb weight loss for the past 1.5 years while simultaneously gaining perhaps 2-3 kilos of lean mass....
One of the absolute best videos I've seen on this subject. I'm insulin resistant and pre-diabetic/diabetic and this gave me a lot of hope. I've suffered from migraines for years, and am starting to make progress but it can still be frustrating as hell. This video was very encouraging!
I became metabolically flexible last month and it’s such freedom to have almost zero cravings and I’m barely hungry anymore. I eat 2-3 meals a day with no snacks depending on if I train that day and how hungry I am. I did lower my carbs to approx 100g a few months ago bc weight gain during menopause was a b*tch!! Now the weight is just falling off and I’m 13lbs away from my high school weight at age 52…plus fasting helps with aging and longevity too!!
Fantastic. I can see a future where those with the inclination will really be able to dial in there health with genetics, gut biome etc. The 1.5hr version of this presentation would be great to see👌
Great talk ... really appreciate the comment about antibiotics mucking up our mitochondria ... I wouldn't have thought antibiotics could get at them (don't antibiotics work on bacteria among our cells, not in them?) ... so that's a whole new area of thought to investigate.
great talk. i have also found many similar things in electronics like his comparison. for example, when rechargable batteries lose their performance, it is from high internal resistance . it's very similar to a diabetic who is resistant to carbs. even the graphs of this look the same
Aside from the Inuit, there were other populations around the world who lived on diets that were virtually or completely free of plants. These including the plains Indians (called 'a people "en Dios ' by Columbus 250 years before Hindustan was called India), and the Masai. Nomadic herders in Northern Africa, and across the Middle East, reindeer herders, the Mongolian herders - these people lived primarily on the meat and milk of their animals. Plants tended to be used as seasoning or medicine.
Is it just me, or does the kind of hysteresis we're seeing between carb-based metabolism and fat-based metabolism make sense for humans in a hunter-gatherer setting? I mean, in this type of setting, being in a state of plenty in a gathering scenario (which is likely to be highly biased toward plant-based, high-carb foods) means the body easily switches over to using carbs for fuel. Additionally, an over-abundance of such foods will go straight to fat for longer-term storage. Conversely, being in a state of plenty in a hunting scenario (which is likely to consist largely of high-protein, high-fat foods) means the body can either use carbs for fuel (assuming a high level of protein intake, which results in sufficient gluconeogenesis to keep the body burning carbs) or in using fat for fuel (assuming a high level of fat intake). Here as well, an over-abundance of such foods will go straight to fat for longer-term storage. In situations where both hunting and gathering fail to result in sufficient calories to keep burning carbs, the body switches to ketosis and proceeds to live off its fat stores until either hunting or gathering results in enough calories to return to carb burning (and, with an over-abundance of any kind of food, fat storage). The whole cycle then repeats between periods of feast and famine. In such a setting, it makes perfect sense for anything more than a minimal amount of carbs (or a moderate amount of protein) to switch the body into burning carbs, as this protects (and possibly augments) the hard-won fat stores for times in the future when it will be the only game in town, calorie-wise. It also makes sense that getting into ketosis requires fairly serious carb/protein restriction, as being in ketosis puts the body's fat stores at imminent risk of depletion--a thing that should not happen unless other food sources become scarce. So in many respects, the modern diets that put us into ketosis today are in many ways a "hack" of the body's ancient preference of burning anything other than fat (and storing any over-abundance as fat), as we restrict protein and carbs to force the body into the ketogenic "starvation mode" while at the same time providing sufficient levels of exogenous fat to either entirely forego endogenous fat metabolism (for the skinny folks) or control the rate of endogenous fat metabolism (for folks looking to lose some of their stored fat). I'm kind of surprised Robb didn't speak explicitly to this point...
Yet some people can get into, and stay in, nutritional ketosis much more easily than others. Epigenetic effects, switching certain genes on or off, in addition to metabolic damage via diet and/or antibiotic use, is clearly a factor. One wonders if the age at which a high sugar, starch, and seed oil diet is introduced to infants is part pf the picture.
Why is it so easy to get out of the ketogenic state. Maybe a million years ago it wasn't so easy to find chocolate cake. Modern human history where we have had access to constant levels of starch/carbs is maybe only 6,000 years? Likewise for meats. Maybe look at the Australian aboriginal diet prior to European arrival. grubs, seeds, low gi native 'fruits' very lean meats from kangaroos, mostly raw, some fish. And as mostly nomadic you can bet they lived off ketosis until they could find the next bunch of food. Need to look at the humans of 10,000 years ago - that's who we are. Maybe humans spent a great deal of time in ketosis so they maintained muscle mass, and when they got lucky, could get out of ketosis and add fat stores at the same time. AND who knows in humanities future - we may be scratching around in the dirt for food, glad of ketosis.
Akane Cortich Akane Cortich Million years ago. it's difficult to hit nutritional ketosis though. Fat is valuable that time. Almost imposible to hit 70%fat from diet every meal. 30% carb from plant are normal too.
With regard to Aboriginal diet with the "very lean meats" that isn't very true. When hunting a kangaroo the lean meat was least desired, and in times of plenty ignored. What was preferred from the kangaroo is blood, marrow, fat and organs. The tail for example is a fatty part of the kangaroo, and one the more prized pieces. Bones would almost always be cracked open and the marrow eaten completely.
The most important factor for quality of life is eating whole foods and knowing what you should not eat. Don't eat manufactured substances AKA junk food, food that comes in a box with an ingredient breakdown that includes Sugar, Flour, Vegetable Seed Oils and other chemical additives. Lowering cortisol and insulin levels is fundamental : Grass fed meats, organic pasture raised eggs, vegetables. Intermittent fasting, OMAD, fasting for autophagy, eating for gut biome health (Vegetables and fermented foods), HIIT High Intensity Interval Training for brain activation, activation of Human Growth Hormone = Metabolic Health and Flexibility. Intellectual pursuits, hobbies, reading, study, art and crafts, meditation should accompany a whole food lifestyle.
I can understand the logic of going out of ketosis in Autumn every year during the time when the trees came into fruit and man needed to fatten up for the onset of winter, yes, this makes sence. But not as you might be saying it happening any tine. It takes time to change and we need to make time and gradually change over.
We do not have to go 2 million years ago to settle any debates. We could probably go to remote/deep jungles ("relatively" untouched by the "advanced" humanity) across the globe, and study their (tribal) food habits vs their standard of health. This might give us a clue. Their food probably would consist of what is immediately and easily accessible to them....and effectively cultures are built around food. Yeah and a spoiler Alert!: People doing Keto or thinking of doing Keto, you are probably not going to like this video. I have been doing Keto + IF for a few weeks now and have seen some extremely good results. BUT, i am really open to all reasonable debates and discussion around nutrition and diets in general. So this video makes it to my list of bookmarked videos (and i swear, i did not thumbs down this video :-).
def the first time going into ketosis was by far the worst for me. Subsequent times were easier and then after switching from low carb to carnivore the last 4 mos the transitions are seamless. I ate mostly SAD over the last 2 weeks for holidays, but I’m winding down day 2 back on carnivore and nothing. Actually I felt amazing today. The human body is amazing !
I never did get the keto flu, but, I also have had my blood glucose taken after having a sugary beverage from Starbucks (before I changed up my diet)... and it didn't seem to really be impacted as significantly as expected by that either. Wonder if there's a connection?
Great lecture! This explains why there is a case for high carb low fat, which obviously is used by most vegans and wfpb followers. It's personal. Some people just do better on 100% plantbased high carb low fat. But it's not many of us. The percentage of wfpb followers and vegans is a single digit. Now it's clear why... That's the percentage of people that can do fine without animal products. All those discussions about what is the best diet,.... It's mostly dictated by what your digestive system can handle and what your cells prefer. But, no high carber can denie this: when you're on a health plantbased high carb diet, most carbs get converted into fat and stored. A couple of hours after eating, insulin levels are down again, and access to the bodyfat is also restored so that your cells can use the body fat for energy. So you can be on a low fat diet, but your cells aren't.
Yes, there is a small percentage of people who can do well on a high-carb low-fat diet, at least when they are young. Over time, many who did well on HCLF suddenly find they no longer do. No one really does well on a diet of no animal products at all. Certain critical nutrients are only available in animal products. In spite of the noise they make and the mass media attention they receive, the percentage of Americans who are vegetarians is much higher than the vegans who eat no animal products at all (but still kill animals with their plastic trash, the animals killed in the production and harvest of grain crops, etc) - and together they are only a few percent of the population. Research cited by one of the LCHF presenters (maybe Nina Tiecholtz?) found that of this low percent, most people stay vegetarian or vegan for less than 5 years. Most quit because of their health. Another interesting presentation on 'What We Are Designed to Eat' by Dr. Barry Groves: ruclips.net/video/5mZOusAnzh8/видео.html
No kidding. What good does it do to cover 1.5 hours of material predictably under-explained in 30 minutes? There were numerous concepts that were just blown by that I wanted him to elaborate on.
Anemic - We get to listen to this speaker for free - without having to travel to the conference (a long way for some of us), without paying the conference fees... and we get the overview of his conclusions without even having to buy his book. Seems like an acceptable trade-off. At the conference, talks are limited to allow attendees to hear presentations from a range of presenters, obviously. Looking forward to the conference you arrange and host where presenters can each take as long as they like - all while keeping it affordable. Keep us all posted, Please!
This isn't regarding content of the video but if you're going to have an intro animation, please don't let it be absolutely silent. It makes annoying for the viewer to have to either watch through the entire thing first before adjusting their sound levels or (what I had to do) fast forward to a random point, adjust my sound levels, and then rewind to before the start of the content before I could walk away from my computer. I don't know if it's just me but I don't like starting videos feeling like it's a movie horror scene where something is going pop out with loud noises from the silence.
Hi Robb Wolf, Very interesting talk but disappointed that the references mentioned 16 minutes 15 seconds are not available from your website. Also really surprised that no one else has has assumed these references?
The Inuit example doesn't show ketosis isn't the best metabolic process ... it shows it isn't the best process for surviving in the cold (perhaps). It's also a strange claim to say the body "tries to get out of ketosis." Why not just say the body turns it off when it can in order to prime it for use later? Ketosis optimizes your chance of survival when food is scarce... preserves muscle, aids endurance / persistence hunting, even spares glycogen in muscles for bursts of speed. Eating, any eating, probably turns it off (unless you precisely match starvation macros), because eating isn't just your chance to get all your nutrients, but it's your chance to store fat for ketosis again. Evolutionarily, feasting and fasting was the normal diet, and so it makes some sense to say there's no such thing as an optimal diet for people who eat constantly. I don't see how it follows from any of that that ketosis isn't our best metabolic condition. Flexibility has WHAT value in an environment like our modern one?
Looks to me like metabolic flexibility is primarily a function of bioavailable nitric oxide from either endogenous or exogenous sources (plus a variety of micronutrients). It would explain why a range of diets "work" and result in similar body composition including keto, paleo, carnivore, vegan, Mediterranean and any number of blue zone diets including the high carb Kitavans.
I know. Its a no brainer! Doctors just refuse to test insulin levels 😬 which they are saying can be high for 10 to 20 years before Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus develops.😱
Are the non-westernized babies born in ketosis like westernized babies? If so, it would seem to be the default setting for all. Medicine says fat is important to babies. Eating fat (cream, Irish butter, Irish cheese - I live in the US deep south) but have Irish ancestors - Erin go Bragh) and fasting (chicken bone broth) has been slowly reversing my blood sugar numbers (2 years) while I consume MY fat (reduction in weight and body composition). I recently upped my meat consumption resulting in higher blood sugar and for longer than 2 hours. I cannot eat any significant amount of carbs because I need my insulin to process my meat. I will not waste my insulin on carbs. I’m making new dark hairs in my all gray head. Two years ago I felt half dead and seeing new life in my hair is frankly amazing. I’m 60+ and gray for 30 years. If I could buy cream from Ireland I would. Better yet I wish I could move there.
In the USA, infants are not allowed to stay in ketosis for long. I hope the practice of routinely feeding sugar water to babies shortly after birth has been stopped. At weaning, parents are steered toward giving their babies starchy then sugary foods, like rice cereal and bananas. Not long ago, as you may know, babies were weaned onto egg yolks. Irish dairy products are good - but you don't have to go that far. Unprocessed dairy products are even better, as they retain many valuable nutrients destroyed by the heavy processing: immune factors, enzymes including lactase, naturally occurring beneficial bacteria aka probiotics, vitamins including Vit C, etc. You won't find it in the supermarket, but unproccessed milk and cream are available in most areas. In some States, it is labeled for pet use only, or only through herdshares aka a cowshare. Your local chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation can help you find 'unfooled around with' milk, and probably cream too, in your area. Jerseys on pasture average around 5% butterfat. The lactase enzyme and probiotics not destroyed by processing make the lactose content in the milk a non-issue for most people. However, if all you can find locally is the milk, it is easy to ladle the cream off unproccessed cow milk. We get about a pint off the top of every half gallon jar, and the remaining milk is still richer than the 2% in the grocery stores. When proccessed, the cream is separated from he milk, the fat globules are artificially reduced in size, and just enough is added back to meet the 3.25% butterfat requirement for whole' milk. Holsteins on a high forage (pasture and hay) diet produce around 4% butterfat in their milk. Jerseys, and some other breeds, will be around 5% and can go higher. Skim milk used to be hog food. Aside from robbing us of the benefits of the fat and fat-soluable vitamins, this processing exposes the milk components to the air, accelerating damaging oxidation. Then the milk or milk products are put into plastic or plastic lined containers, which transfer harmful chemicals to whatever they come into contact with. Many people can taste the plastic milk jugs in the milk. My understanding is that Irish dairy products are subjected to the same processes, especially if sold in the USA.. There are people milking Irish Dexter cows in the USA, mostly as family cows. The Irish dairy farms seem to have all gone to Holsteins, Aside from Jersey cows, Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Milking Shorthorns all tend to average higher butterfat content than Holsteins. Glad to hear that you have found a way of eating that is working for you - and helping to restore your natural health!!
On min 13 he suggested that you can get out of Ketosis in one 25 grams of carbs. Every person is different and they have different threshold with regards to carbs and Ketosis. So far not fully impressed by it. But I always see it to the end.
something that is missing is this low-car stuff is "food combining" - eat protein and it takes 4 hours to digest in the stomach , east starch and it hangs around in the stomach 3 hours- mix them in the same meal and the food hangs round in the stomach for 8 hours plus and rots - lot of very good benefits to "Food combining": eating protein & starches separately and les faddy and so easier to maintain longer term
For many of us whose ancestors did not start eating starches until maybe 2,500 years ago, or less (UK and northern Europe, for one), and who ate only small amounts of it even then, and otherwise have lived on a high fat, animal-based diet, starch is 'faddy'. People from many other populations have an even shorter history with starch - including the indigenous popularions of North and South American, Sugar was expensive and an occasional treat for all but the extremely wealthy until pretty recently. And NO ONE ate seed oils, especially corn, soy, or canola oil. Seed oils were originally used as machine lubricants. Crisco, or solidified seed oil, was invented for soap and candle making.
I've also noticed there's always at least '1' person disliking any video on health/nutrition, etc. My theory is that it's a vegan who goes through the list of newly released videos and makes it his mission to do the 'dislike' thing 'for the cause' ;)
Perhaps those who have followed him for a while and witnessed Robb contradict himself, all the while writing books and making money from desperate people.
Oddly enough I was a type 2 diabetic a year ago so I went on a calorie strict diet some change was seen but not good enough western diet of course then I went paleo for 3 and 1/2 months more change was seen but still not good enough my response to any extra carbs still drove my blood glucose up to the 180’s for up to 3 hours YIKES! Then I went carnivore Keto it’s been 6 months and a week and I’ve carb loaded 4 times for one day each in the last month just like the other “calorie controlled western diet and paleo” I was formerly on but know my blood glucose will only rise to 122 within 2 hours max and back to normal 95ish within the 3rd hour I so happy my pancreas and liver are doing what their supposed to do I’m assuming my Beta cells are back online fully? FYI my carb loading on all these test consisted of bread, cake, ice cream, candy of some kind and approximately 200 carbs that day of testing and I consumed these carbs all within the hour one side note when I do this now I get one hell of a headache and feel brian fog almost like being hung over most of the next day and ketones are reading lite on the urine stick but by the 2 nd day I’m back in full ketosis it used to take me about 3 to 4 days to get back into ketosis.
Agreed, Anthony. Also, why carb load with bread, cake, ice cream, candy, etc. and expect your liver and pancreas to 'do what they're supposed to do?' You're "supposed to" give your body good food, but then give it garbage like candy? You can't expect your liver and pancreas to behave properly if you don't. Not trying to attack you here; just concerned about what you're expecting from your body. Take care.
great, that means I am metabolically flexible since I have no problems going into Ketosis - I do notice a more happy brain and of course my urine smells like acetelene - and it seems my mitochondria are in good shape, I'm 70, 2 years Keto, BMI 20

6:08 I highly doubt Doritos would have admitted to the fact they use power law to formulate their product. Isn't it a given companies are super secretive when it comes to how they come up with their product?
Where I can find more details about blue zones population commonalities? Is it just 'unprocessed whole foods' thing? How much cooking is still 'unproceseed'?
Min 22 - indirect calorimetry is not a great tool as the CO2 in the lungs may not be the same in the mitochondria. A full carnivore not consuming carbs is not utilizing glucose as their main fuel. Granted that’s there is some gluconeogenesis but is not accounting for the RQ of 1.0.
Is there any evidence that the Inuit can't enter ketosis other than what he presented? Has anyone actually taken Inuit populations and tried to get them into a ketotic state and failed?
I feel like the illness was a part of the presentation and not a separate on its own. He could have just said he wasn't feeling quite well, but he used it as a talking point early in.
So stoked to have found this. Thanks LCDU. Keep your videos coming. Lets change how people eat and age. BTW, a link to the video Rob mentions at 1m in would be appreciated. (Found it: ruclips.net/video/TXlVfwJ6RQU/видео.html )
Could have been said in ten minutes. Good conclusions just ...too wordy....wonder what is the optimum diet for people not talking too much. One of the monitors of illness of our world....how many thousands of words can we deliver to say something that should be one minute...into 100 minutes.

Other things to look at - which does the most damage to the human condition? Cancers thrive on glucose, Alzheimer's is improved by ketones, constant glucose damages blood vessels, capillaries. I think this may indicate that ketosis is the default position, and glucose metabolism the reaction to times of plenty, maybe for the purpose of building fat stores? The damage that glucose does to the human condition to me indicates this isn't the default system.
There's no default position, it's a cycle (circle, seasonal).
Should we even be using the idea of a "default? I don't think there's a default. The body is always reacting metabolically to the foods we eat.
What?
Glucose, eg food, does "damage" to the human condition?
So you're telling people that eating fruit is "damaging" them?
Please stop, now
Accumulated exposure to high levels of glucose seems maybe to become a problem in later life - see e.g. "Genetic influences on glucose neurotoxicity, aging, and diabetes: a possible role for glucose hysteresis" or "Secrets of the lac Operon:
Glucose Hysteresis as a Mechanism in Dietary Restriction, Aging and Disease" which notes "it has been hypothesized that cumulative toxic effects of glucose drive at least some aspects of the aging process and, conversely, that protective effects of dietary restriction are mediated by a reduction in exposure to glucose..."
' But like others I think a healthy body naturally cycles in and out of ketosis. For example I've heard that animals that need to hibernate over winter naturally enter a state of "insulin resistance" in late summer, early fall, so that they can accumulate fat reserves.
Agree 100% - I eat zero carb carnivore at a caloric deficit 4 days a week and remain in ketosis and metabolize fat like crazy. I also follow a 20/4 IF regimen on those days. I then increase my calories and cycle in a bit of dairy, nuts and some veg on weekends for 3 days and regain what I lost - have maintained a 60 lb weight loss for the past 1.5 years while simultaneously gaining perhaps 2-3 kilos of lean mass....
One of the absolute best videos I've seen on this subject. I'm insulin resistant and pre-diabetic/diabetic and this gave me a lot of hope. I've suffered from migraines for years, and am starting to make progress but it can still be frustrating as hell. This video was very encouraging!
Wow , this man has some very important information for us all
Really Great, but we want the whole three hours. And, thank you for your work.
I became metabolically flexible last month and it’s such freedom to have almost zero cravings and I’m barely hungry anymore. I eat 2-3 meals a day with no snacks depending on if I train that day and how hungry I am. I did lower my carbs to approx 100g a few months ago bc weight gain during menopause was a b*tch!! Now the weight is just falling off and I’m 13lbs away from my high school weight at age 52…plus fasting helps with aging and longevity too!!
Fantastic. I can see a future where those with the inclination will really be able to dial in there health with genetics, gut biome etc. The 1.5hr version of this presentation would be great to see👌
Amazing we r fat and sick but worse we are willingly ignorant and proud of what we think we know. Thank God for this channel.
Excellent and informative. Thank you.
Great talk ... really appreciate the comment about antibiotics mucking up our mitochondria ... I wouldn't have thought antibiotics could get at them (don't antibiotics work on bacteria among our cells, not in them?) ... so that's a whole new area of thought to investigate.
Awesome! I want the whole three hours+.
great talk. i have also found many similar things in electronics like his comparison. for example, when rechargable batteries lose their performance, it is from high internal resistance . it's very similar to a diabetic who is resistant to carbs. even the graphs of this look the same
Aside from the Inuit, there were other populations around the world who lived on diets that were virtually or completely free of plants. These including the plains Indians (called 'a people "en Dios ' by Columbus 250 years before Hindustan was called India), and the Masai. Nomadic herders in Northern Africa, and across the Middle East, reindeer herders, the Mongolian herders - these people lived primarily on the meat and milk of their animals. Plants tended to be used as seasoning or medicine.
Robb Wolf is getting still better after all these years
Is it just me, or does the kind of hysteresis we're seeing between carb-based metabolism and fat-based metabolism make sense for humans in a hunter-gatherer setting?
I mean, in this type of setting, being in a state of plenty in a gathering scenario (which is likely to be highly biased toward plant-based, high-carb foods) means the body easily switches over to using carbs for fuel. Additionally, an over-abundance of such foods will go straight to fat for longer-term storage. Conversely, being in a state of plenty in a hunting scenario (which is likely to consist largely of high-protein, high-fat foods) means the body can either use carbs for fuel (assuming a high level of protein intake, which results in sufficient gluconeogenesis to keep the body burning carbs) or in using fat for fuel (assuming a high level of fat intake). Here as well, an over-abundance of such foods will go straight to fat for longer-term storage.
In situations where both hunting and gathering fail to result in sufficient calories to keep burning carbs, the body switches to ketosis and proceeds to live off its fat stores until either hunting or gathering results in enough calories to return to carb burning (and, with an over-abundance of any kind of food, fat storage). The whole cycle then repeats between periods of feast and famine.
In such a setting, it makes perfect sense for anything more than a minimal amount of carbs (or a moderate amount of protein) to switch the body into burning carbs, as this protects (and possibly augments) the hard-won fat stores for times in the future when it will be the only game in town, calorie-wise. It also makes sense that getting into ketosis requires fairly serious carb/protein restriction, as being in ketosis puts the body's fat stores at imminent risk of depletion--a thing that should not happen unless other food sources become scarce.
So in many respects, the modern diets that put us into ketosis today are in many ways a "hack" of the body's ancient preference of burning anything other than fat (and storing any over-abundance as fat), as we restrict protein and carbs to force the body into the ketogenic "starvation mode" while at the same time providing sufficient levels of exogenous fat to either entirely forego endogenous fat metabolism (for the skinny folks) or control the rate of endogenous fat metabolism (for folks looking to lose some of their stored fat).
I'm kind of surprised Robb didn't speak explicitly to this point...
Nope not reading your BOOK !
Well, this is a pretty well established model for explaining metabolic modes within an evolutionary framework and this talk was about more novel stuff
Yet some people can get into, and stay in, nutritional ketosis much more easily than others. Epigenetic effects, switching certain genes on or off, in addition to metabolic damage via diet and/or antibiotic use, is clearly a factor. One wonders if the age at which a high sugar, starch, and seed oil diet is introduced to infants is part pf the picture.
Very interesting post thanks for taking the time to write this. 👍
Why is it so easy to get out of the ketogenic state. Maybe a million years ago it wasn't so easy to find chocolate cake.
Modern human history where we have had access to constant levels of starch/carbs is maybe only 6,000 years? Likewise for meats. Maybe look at the Australian aboriginal diet prior to European arrival. grubs, seeds, low gi native 'fruits' very lean meats from kangaroos, mostly raw, some fish. And as mostly nomadic you can bet they lived off ketosis until they could find the next bunch of food.
Need to look at the humans of 10,000 years ago - that's who we are. Maybe humans spent a great deal of time in ketosis so they maintained muscle mass, and when they got lucky, could get out of ketosis and add fat stores at the same time.
AND who knows in humanities future - we may be scratching around in the dirt for food, glad of ketosis.
Akane Cortich Akane Cortich Million years ago. it's difficult to hit nutritional ketosis though. Fat is valuable that time. Almost imposible to hit 70%fat from diet every meal.
30% carb from plant are normal too.
I guess I'm not alone in longing for that future ;)
Aside from chocolate cake and the like, high starch foods were not as easy to get, or to turn into food, as we might think.
Ok, have fun with that. Go live with the aborigines. I'll be grabbing tacos and margaritas.
With regard to Aboriginal diet with the "very lean meats" that isn't very true. When hunting a kangaroo the lean meat was least desired, and in times of plenty ignored.
What was preferred from the kangaroo is blood, marrow, fat and organs. The tail for example is a fatty part of the kangaroo, and one the more prized pieces. Bones would almost always be cracked open and the marrow eaten completely.
The most important factor for quality of life is eating whole foods and knowing what you should not eat. Don't eat manufactured substances AKA junk food, food that comes in a box with an ingredient breakdown that includes Sugar, Flour, Vegetable Seed Oils and other chemical additives.
Lowering cortisol and insulin levels is fundamental : Grass fed meats, organic pasture raised eggs, vegetables. Intermittent fasting, OMAD, fasting for autophagy, eating for gut biome health (Vegetables and fermented foods), HIIT High Intensity Interval Training for brain activation, activation of Human Growth Hormone = Metabolic Health and Flexibility. Intellectual pursuits, hobbies, reading, study, art and crafts, meditation should accompany a whole food lifestyle.
Lunatic Fringe is a perfect way to describe it. I feel that way myself. All I want to be is healthy
I can understand the logic of going out of ketosis in Autumn every year during the time when the trees came into fruit and man needed to fatten up for the onset of winter, yes, this makes sence. But not as you might be saying it happening any tine. It takes time to change and we need to make time and gradually change over.
How controlled were these test subjects? I know if I run to the lab before a glucose tolerance test my numbers would be a lot lower.
He just nailed it.
We do not have to go 2 million years ago to settle any debates. We could probably go to remote/deep jungles ("relatively" untouched by the "advanced" humanity) across the globe, and study their (tribal) food habits vs their standard of health. This might give us a clue. Their food probably would consist of what is immediately and easily accessible to them....and effectively cultures are built around food.
Yeah and a spoiler Alert!: People doing Keto or thinking of doing Keto, you are probably not going to like this video.
I have been doing Keto + IF for a few weeks now and have seen some extremely good results. BUT, i am really open to all reasonable debates and discussion around nutrition and diets in general. So this video makes it to my list of bookmarked videos (and i swear, i did not thumbs down this video :-).
def the first time going into ketosis was by far the worst for me. Subsequent times were easier and then after switching from low carb to carnivore the last 4 mos the transitions are seamless. I ate mostly SAD over the last 2 weeks for holidays, but I’m winding down day 2 back on carnivore and nothing. Actually I felt amazing today. The human body is amazing !
I never did get the keto flu, but, I also have had my blood glucose taken after having a sugary beverage from Starbucks (before I changed up my diet)... and it didn't seem to really be impacted as significantly as expected by that either. Wonder if there's a connection?
Great lecture!
This explains why there is a case for high carb low fat, which obviously is used by most vegans and wfpb followers. It's personal. Some people just do better on 100% plantbased high carb low fat.
But it's not many of us. The percentage of wfpb followers and vegans is a single digit. Now it's clear why... That's the percentage of people that can do fine without animal products.
All those discussions about what is the best diet,.... It's mostly dictated by what your digestive system can handle and what your cells prefer.
But, no high carber can denie this: when you're on a health plantbased high carb diet, most carbs get converted into fat and stored. A couple of hours after eating, insulin levels are down again, and access to the bodyfat is also restored so that your cells can use the body fat for energy.
So you can be on a low fat diet, but your cells aren't.
Yes, there is a small percentage of people who can do well on a high-carb low-fat diet, at least when they are young. Over time, many who did well on HCLF suddenly find they no longer do.
No one really does well on a diet of no animal products at all. Certain critical nutrients are only available in animal products. In spite of the noise they make and the mass media attention they receive, the percentage of Americans who are vegetarians is much higher than the vegans who eat no animal products at all (but still kill animals with their plastic trash, the animals killed in the production and harvest of grain crops, etc) - and together they are only a few percent of the population. Research cited by one of the LCHF presenters (maybe Nina Tiecholtz?) found that of this low percent, most people stay vegetarian or vegan for less than 5 years. Most quit because of their health.
Another interesting presentation on 'What We Are Designed to Eat' by Dr. Barry Groves: ruclips.net/video/5mZOusAnzh8/видео.html
Is there a "Long version" of this talk available?
No kidding. What good does it do to cover 1.5 hours of material predictably under-explained in 30 minutes? There were numerous concepts that were just blown by that I wanted him to elaborate on.
the long version would be to watch all of his talks on youtube, sub his channel and or read his books. he has done a great joe rogan podcast
Anemic - We get to listen to this speaker for free - without having to travel to the conference (a long way for some of us), without paying the conference fees... and we get the overview of his conclusions without even having to buy his book. Seems like an acceptable trade-off.
At the conference, talks are limited to allow attendees to hear presentations from a range of presenters, obviously. Looking forward to the conference you arrange and host where presenters can each take as long as they like - all while keeping it affordable. Keep us all posted, Please!
@@Jefferdaughter the guy asked a question. Take a pill.
This isn't regarding content of the video but if you're going to have an intro animation, please don't let it be absolutely silent. It makes annoying for the viewer to have to either watch through the entire thing first before adjusting their sound levels or (what I had to do) fast forward to a random point, adjust my sound levels, and then rewind to before the start of the content before I could walk away from my computer. I don't know if it's just me but I don't like starting videos feeling like it's a movie horror scene where something is going pop out with loud noises from the silence.
Robb wolf is a responsible person. He changes his stance if faced with contrary evidence
Hi Robb Wolf, Very interesting talk but disappointed that the references mentioned 16 minutes 15 seconds are not available from your website. Also really surprised that no one else has has assumed these references?
The Inuit example doesn't show ketosis isn't the best metabolic process ... it shows it isn't the best process for surviving in the cold (perhaps). It's also a strange claim to say the body "tries to get out of ketosis." Why not just say the body turns it off when it can in order to prime it for use later? Ketosis optimizes your chance of survival when food is scarce... preserves muscle, aids endurance / persistence hunting, even spares glycogen in muscles for bursts of speed. Eating, any eating, probably turns it off (unless you precisely match starvation macros), because eating isn't just your chance to get all your nutrients, but it's your chance to store fat for ketosis again. Evolutionarily, feasting and fasting was the normal diet, and so it makes some sense to say there's no such thing as an optimal diet for people who eat constantly. I don't see how it follows from any of that that ketosis isn't our best metabolic condition. Flexibility has WHAT value in an environment like our modern one?
Looks to me like metabolic flexibility is primarily a function of bioavailable nitric oxide from either endogenous or exogenous sources (plus a variety of micronutrients). It would explain why a range of diets "work" and result in similar body composition including keto, paleo, carnivore, vegan, Mediterranean and any number of blue zone diets including the high carb Kitavans.
re: pre-diabetes. you're using glucose tests. not using Insulin test (Kraft)?
I know. Its a no brainer! Doctors just refuse to test insulin levels 😬 which they are saying can be high for 10 to 20 years before Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus develops.😱
WOW! Great info for advanced LCHF dieters to consider to make things even better.
Are the non-westernized babies born in ketosis like westernized babies? If so, it would seem to be the default setting for all. Medicine says fat is important to babies. Eating fat (cream, Irish butter, Irish cheese - I live in the US deep south) but have Irish ancestors - Erin go Bragh) and fasting (chicken bone broth) has been slowly reversing my blood sugar numbers (2 years) while I consume MY fat (reduction in weight and body composition). I recently upped my meat consumption resulting in higher blood sugar and for longer than 2 hours. I cannot eat any significant amount of carbs because I need my insulin to process my meat. I will not waste my insulin on carbs. I’m making new dark hairs in my all gray head. Two years ago I felt half dead and seeing new life in my hair is frankly amazing. I’m 60+ and gray for 30 years.
If I could buy cream from Ireland I would. Better yet I wish I could move there.
In the USA, infants are not allowed to stay in ketosis for long. I hope the practice of routinely feeding sugar water to babies shortly after birth has been stopped. At weaning, parents are steered toward giving their babies starchy then sugary foods, like rice cereal and bananas. Not long ago, as you may know, babies were weaned onto egg yolks.
Irish dairy products are good - but you don't have to go that far. Unprocessed dairy products are even better, as they retain many valuable nutrients destroyed by the heavy processing: immune factors, enzymes including lactase, naturally occurring beneficial bacteria aka probiotics, vitamins including Vit C, etc.
You won't find it in the supermarket, but unproccessed milk and cream are available in most areas. In some States, it is labeled for pet use only, or only through herdshares aka a cowshare. Your local chapter of the Weston A. Price Foundation can help you find 'unfooled around with' milk, and probably cream too, in your area.
Jerseys on pasture average around 5% butterfat. The lactase enzyme and probiotics not destroyed by processing make the lactose content in the milk a non-issue for
most people. However, if all you can find locally is the milk, it is easy to ladle the cream off unproccessed cow milk. We get about a pint off the top of every
half gallon jar, and the remaining milk is still richer than the 2% in the grocery stores.
When proccessed, the cream is separated from he milk, the fat globules are artificially reduced in size, and just enough is added back to meet the 3.25% butterfat requirement for
whole' milk. Holsteins on a high forage (pasture and hay) diet produce around 4% butterfat in their milk. Jerseys, and some other breeds, will be around 5% and can go higher. Skim milk used to be hog food. Aside from robbing us of the benefits of the fat and fat-soluable vitamins, this processing exposes the milk components to the air, accelerating damaging oxidation.
Then the milk or milk products are put into plastic or plastic lined containers, which transfer harmful chemicals to whatever they come into contact with. Many people can taste the plastic milk jugs in the milk.
My understanding is that Irish dairy products are subjected to the same processes, especially if sold in the USA.. There are people milking Irish Dexter cows in the USA, mostly as family cows. The Irish dairy farms seem to have all gone to Holsteins, Aside from Jersey cows, Guernsey, Ayrshire, and Milking Shorthorns all tend to average higher butterfat content than Holsteins.
Glad to hear that you have found a way of eating that is working for you - and helping to restore your natural health!!
On min 13 he suggested that you can get out of Ketosis in one 25 grams of carbs. Every person is different and they have different threshold with regards to carbs and Ketosis. So far not fully impressed by it. But I always see it to the end.
something that is missing is this low-car stuff is "food combining" - eat protein and it takes 4 hours to digest in the stomach , east starch and it hangs around in the stomach 3 hours- mix them in the same meal and the food hangs round in the stomach for 8 hours plus and rots - lot of very good benefits to "Food combining": eating protein & starches separately and les faddy and so easier to maintain longer term
For many of us whose ancestors did not start eating starches until maybe 2,500 years ago, or less (UK and northern Europe, for one), and who ate only small amounts of it even then, and otherwise have lived on a high fat, animal-based diet, starch is 'faddy'. People from many other populations have an even shorter history with starch - including the indigenous popularions of North and South American,
Sugar was expensive and an occasional treat for all but the extremely wealthy until pretty recently. And NO ONE ate seed oils, especially corn, soy, or canola oil. Seed oils were originally used as machine lubricants. Crisco, or solidified seed oil, was invented for soap and candle making.
to the person, who disliked this
Why ?
I've also noticed there's always at least '1' person disliking any video on health/nutrition, etc. My theory is that it's a vegan who goes through the list of newly released videos and makes it his mission to do the 'dislike' thing 'for the cause' ;)

Perhaps those who have followed him for a while and witnessed Robb contradict himself, all the while writing books and making money from desperate people.
I didn't dislike. I loved his style of presentation but felt the talk was way too 'sciency' and not enough substance for takeaway points.
Oddly enough I was a type 2 diabetic a year ago so I went on a calorie strict diet some change was seen but not good enough western diet of course then I went paleo for 3 and 1/2 months more change was seen but still not good enough my response to any extra carbs still drove my blood glucose up to the 180’s for up to 3 hours YIKES! Then I went carnivore Keto it’s been 6 months and a week and I’ve carb loaded 4 times for one day each in the last month just like the other “calorie controlled western diet and paleo” I was formerly on but know my blood glucose will only rise to 122 within 2 hours max and back to normal 95ish within the 3rd hour I so happy my pancreas and liver are doing what their supposed to do I’m assuming my Beta cells are back online fully? FYI my carb loading on all these test consisted of bread, cake, ice cream, candy of some kind and approximately 200 carbs that day of testing and I consumed these carbs all within the hour one side note when I do this now I get one hell of a headache and feel brian fog almost like being hung over most of the next day and ketones are reading lite on the urine stick but by the 2 nd day I’m back in full ketosis it used to take me about 3 to 4 days to get back into ketosis.
CivilianSheepdog631 why do it then if it makes you feel so miserable?? It cannot be healthy or good..
Agreed, Anthony. Also, why carb load with bread, cake, ice cream, candy, etc. and expect your liver and pancreas to 'do what they're supposed to do?' You're "supposed to" give your body good food, but then give it garbage like candy? You can't expect your liver and pancreas to behave properly if you don't. Not trying to attack you here; just concerned about what you're expecting from your body. Take care.
great, that means I am metabolically flexible since I have no problems going into Ketosis - I do notice a more happy brain and of course my urine smells like acetelene - and it seems my mitochondria are in good shape, I'm 70, 2 years Keto, BMI 20
6:08 I highly doubt Doritos would have admitted to the fact they use power law to formulate their product.
Isn't it a given companies are super secretive when it comes to how they come up with their product?
Good talk! but those who were once obsessively counting calories...and now carbs, will be in a fine rage.
Where I can find more details about blue zones population commonalities?
Is it just 'unprocessed whole foods' thing?
How much cooking is still 'unproceseed'?
Book by Walter Longo
So maybe the "common thread" for all of the "primitive-but-healthy" cultures is a lack of antibiotics consumption?
I would loveeeeee to not have type one diabetes anymore.
Min 22 - indirect calorimetry is not a great tool as the CO2 in the lungs may not be the same in the mitochondria. A full carnivore not consuming carbs is not utilizing glucose as their main fuel. Granted that’s there is some gluconeogenesis but is not accounting for the RQ of 1.0.
The hysterics is exactly what happened with me... to a tee.
Is there any evidence that the Inuit can't enter ketosis other than what he presented? Has anyone actually taken Inuit populations and tried to get them into a ketotic state and failed?
Yes its well understood. Google is your friend
Why is how you feel subjectively not adequate in determining a diet's appropriateness for an individual?
For starters, you have no way of comparing how you feel on one diet to how you feel on the SET of all other possible diets. Which is infinite.
You can have cancer and feel amazing.
I feel like the illness was a part of the presentation and not a separate on its own. He could have just said he wasn't feeling quite well, but he used it as a talking point early in.
"no foreplay or cuddling" 😂🤣😂🤣
Humans are genetically wired for hunting and gathering, which will naturally be higher in protein and fat, and lower in carbs.
This talk was all over the place. Difficult to connect the dots.
On minute 14 he said that protein can kick you out of Ketosis without proof!!!
23:53
33:30
Second speaker in this channel that's starts off saying they had food poisoning
So stoked to have found this. Thanks LCDU. Keep your videos coming. Lets change how people eat and age. BTW, a link to the video Rob mentions at 1m in would be appreciated. (Found it: ruclips.net/video/TXlVfwJ6RQU/видео.html )
He says we need a better way to diadnose T2 Diabetes, so I guess he is unaware of the work of Joseph Kraft. I hope he catches on.
ketosis is the human preference, NOT the human body's preference.
Power law distribution
Another food expert who's perpetually recovering from sickness..
"normal" today is to be sick. maybe the phrasing "optimal range" is better?
Nice funnel.
Could have been said in ten minutes. Good conclusions just ...too wordy....wonder what is the optimum diet for people not talking too much. One of the monitors of illness of our world....how many thousands of words can we deliver to say something that should be one minute...into 100 minutes.
Over 30 minutes of verbose nonsense to discover that humans evolved to eat a variety of things! Wow!
8 minutes into his presentation and still nothing but Ted verbiage FU
Oh, he's about to start in with that "palatability" bullsh*t. I'll skip this one. Someone let me know if I missed anything.
Watch the full thing. There's a lot of great content and moves quickly.
