My doctor told me the keto diet was only for people with colon cancer and I shouldn't use it. Instead, my doctor wants me to have a gastric bypass. I kept the keto diet and am now looking for a new doctor.
Glad to see that you are advocating for yourself. I've had to do that too with my GP when I was diagnosed with diabetes in Oct 2021. She wanted me to take metformin, a statin and see a dietician. I told her that you only make one change at a time and that I would try diet first. When doing some online searching about diabetes I learned about the low carb diet and decided to try that (instead of the diabetes diet). I did see a dietician after I started low carb and she told me I wasn't eating enough carbs. She's a dietician in the hospitals. After only 3 months I had remitted my diabetes. I've had many other benefits from my new lifestyle. I'm no longer a slave to food which is a huge victory for me. I've also gone from 80kg down to 62kg, 44" waist is now 37" and that's without exercise, only stretching, strengthening for my back and light hand weights.
You did a "doctor bypass"! Good job!. 😊
@@T-aka-T Ha ha!!! Very clever. Didn't make me LOL but it did make me smile!
You did 👍 All the best!
Curious why Keto is recommended for colon cancer? Had not heard that and is it true?
A year ago I was a very large man... I wound up getting diabetic neuropathy in my feet so I freaked out and reduced my carb intake to almost none... I became "Fat Adapted" .. Burning FAT as my primary energy source... THEN I got into intermittent fasting... at this point today, I've lost 95 lbs and my neuropathy is almost completely GONE!!
that's due to weight loss, not specific to fat adapted or IF. you could have done that on a rice diet. if it works for you now keep doing but don't but too stubborn if other health issues arrive to change your diet again
Great job! Keep up the good work, hope you reach your goal and then some.
There are multiple cultures that eat no or very little carbs. In the South Pacific, one group only eats coconuts and fish. No heart disease. The Sami, mostly reindeer and other ruminants. No carbs. No heart attacks if they don't smoke or drink. Yakutians are carnivorous. The ones that don't drink or smoke, no atherosclerosis. Same with the Messai men in Africa.
@toms8879 rice will kill u
I'm very proud of my old school doctor, he is 63 years old and very conservative.
He has done a complete 180 on the keto diet. 15 years ago I weighed 400 lb and wanted to start Atkins. He warned me about kidney disease, heart disease, osteoporosis - you name it.
I proved him wrong. I'm healthy, fit and have absolutely no health problems.
He started to suggest Keto at the onset of the pandemic to all of his patients, and now it's his go-to. I'm really proud to have him as my Dr.
Some of my many side effects of my keto diet.
1. Permanent weight loss, 45 lbs.
2. Loss of knee and shoulder pain
3. Reduced sunburning
4. A1C lowered to 4.8
5. Triglycerides down from 300+ to under 70
6. HDL up from 40 to 65
7. Blood pressure down and meds no longer needed.
Keto may not be the perfect diet, but it sure beats eating SAD!
Exactly the same thing for me, word for word except for the triglycerides level. I wasn’t that high. No doctor is going to tell me to stop low carb diet for eating grass like some herbivore. I despise preachy vegans.
@@diamondjim7560vegans are all bloated from all those oxalates and processed crap they consume and the crazy amount of supplements they need to survive .
I mean look at Robert Downey JR. Went from looking like a man to a weak fraile bald man. Iron Man turned into Iron deficient man. 😂
Step 7 is the problem. No meds no money, no health issues no money.
@@NotaSmurf that's why doctors only treat the symptoms, never cure the problems.
The reduced sunburning thing is facinating to me...
I really need to figure out how that works...
I'm sick of hearing about the "Blue Zones." People in these regions eat differently, but diet is only a piece of the puzzle. They also live at a slower pace with less stress. They live in a less polluted environment. They eat very little processed foods. They walk everywhere instead of driving. They focus on community. As people in Blue Zones begin to eat more like the Standard American Diet, they being to show the same metabolic illnesses.
4 years ago I was a Type 2 diabetic ... started keto... today I am not.
And, to my delight, my ability to eat smaller amounts of fruit and more vegetables without a blood sugar spike.
This tells me that my 3 years of STRICT CLEAN KETO has healed my body.
I'm afraid my wife's experience with cardiologists is that of ignorance on their part. Close to 10 years ago she was cycling back from work and had chest pains, felt like vomiting and later in the evening had pain spreading to one of her arms. So she consulted our doctor. The doctor said she had no risk factors for cardiac problems but referred he to a cardiologist just in case. After examining her, the cardiologist said the same thing but booked her for a scan just in case. At the hospital after the scan revealed a major coronary blockage they kept her in and prepared her right away for unblocking with a stent. It was the fact that the cardiologist said my wife had "no risk factors" that set me off to find out why - and led us both to LCHF then keto around 6 years ago. Since then, nor more problem, and now no more blood thinning needed either. It makes me quite angry. The ignorance could have killed my wife, and has probably killed a lot of others. We also used strict keto on my mother-in-law with Alzheimer's, using coconut and MCT oil to get as much ketone production as possible, which stopped her decline - but that's another issue that I've commented on before.
That is SO shocking! 😮 So you have an actual cardiac EVENT and they say never mind, you don't have the risk factors?!!!! 😮
@ekondiggs - I'm happy y'all got everything turned around!
That's Crazy!
If I can ask, I've heard of the MCT & Coconut oil. I've had TBI - Traumatic Brain Injury.
I do Keto/Carnivore. I'm into my 7th month.
I sometimes use MCT Oil - Bulletproof C8.
How much are you giving of that & the Coconut oil, to your mother in law??
I Know it shouldn't matter ... But what about weight gain with it (for me)?
Thank you
@@pattibond2342 No fear of weight gain to be had.
@@pattibond2342 My mother-in-law died a couple of years ago at 95, so she's no longer with us. We increased the amount of coconut and MCT oil until onset of diarhea, and then dialled it back. That was the maximum for her. She didn't gain any weight, and didn't lose much. Strict keto (less than 20g carbs/day) meant not gaining weight, and the body burning the fuel from the MCT and coconut oil probably prevented weight loss. But our goal for her was to maximise ketone production for brain function. I've heard it can work for brain injury, so maybe you could give it a try. If it does work, it will probably show an effect quite quickly (that was the case with my mother-in-law). If not, then you haven't lost anything for trying. You will smell rather "fruity" for the first couple of weeks, as the body adjusts. But don't be put off, it does go away.
Thank you for sharing
It's a wondrous thing when a plant based diet "expert" demonstrates he is as ignorant of science as he appears.
I saw this guy a few years ago on the recommendation of another Doctor (lovely person by the way) who was also on the plant based train. It took a few months to get in to see him at the hospital. So you know this hospital is in one of the unhealthiest boroughs in NYC in the Bronx. I was all in, I had lots of heath issues, and I was really familiar with veganism. I was desperate to fix my health issues. Well, he showed zero interest in me as a patient or my situation and seemed annoyed that I was there and wanted to know who referred me. Gave me a few suggestions and stack of photocopies. There was an actually a vegan conference and I asked about it and he told me how to sign up and finished with, don't sign up if you don't think you'll go. Encouragement I suppose? I think this is typical of many of these vegan guys. They love to give interviews and pontificate on veganism. Not so much interested in rolling up their sleeves with real patients. I've learned more and benefited more by Dr. Westmans RUclips videos than I ever did from these "experts". I went back once, having made an appointment. He couldn't see me, ended up seeing a nurse (or aide?) that took my blood pressure and asked me why I was there. Deliver me from the plant based experts.
He is just paid off by big junk food.
Sorry to hear about that experience. Not surprised, unfortunately. Doctors & dentists can be very rude & condescending. Many lack not only manners, but empathy, too. Most believe they're the best thing since sliced bread 😉, & everyone is beneath them. Our fault to a certain extent for dogging at their feet as though they are the Oracle at Delphi. Was just thinking how folks can't get 'nuff of Dr. Oz, so we have Dr. Oz's now by the nines. Best luck my friend. Maybe reviews help a little....
Well said. Good for you for being a thinker and not a sheeple.
Why were you there?
Yeah, plant doc definitely gives off that vibe.
That plant based doctor started off calling us liars. I promise you I got fatter eating low fat. I did not eat more fat.
I ate the SAD standard american diet for 40 years wound up miserable. Depressed. Suicidal and weighed 300lbs.
I changed to keto then carnivore and i have healed all those ailments and lost 120lbs.
Been a solid year no carbs, no sugar. High fat and moderate protein only...
Still waiting for the problems to kick in lol😅
Nearly 3 years now. Still trembling with fear of keto on that cliff, waiting for the thunderbolt that will make all those wonderful changes worth nothing. 😅
@@T-aka-T 3 years is nothing. diseases take many years to build up.
I'm glad this cardiologist isn't my Dr. My hubby and i have been doing keto. We are healthy and not fat because we don't eat crap like carbs and sugar.
Same here! 😊
how do you know you're healthy. just because you are not eating some foods.
@@toms8879well for me I don’t feel like shit 24/7. No need for energy drinks, no need for pain pills, allergies are basically gone. No more knee pain, no more headaches, no more feeling hungry an hour after eating, putting on muscle faster, cardio is better, arthritis is gone and I can play guitar just as fast as I did when I was 17, and the best thing is I have abs and a jawline 24/7. No more chubby fat face from water retention cause by high carbs. Also I eat whatever I want and still look great.
Maybe try it out instead of trying to be a smart ass.
I could never understand for DECADES why I was still hungry after finishing a meal. Dr. Atkins book opened my eyes to the carbs effects on metabolism. It's been a long journey because life happens and I could not afford to focus on taking care of myself. Today I acknowledge that I am an ex-carbs addicts that could easily relapse. Keto is a way of life for me. At 70, I am 30 pounds of my ideal weight but I do not focus on my weight; I focus on how healthy I am: no inflammation, no digestive issues, no back pain, no depression, no sleep pbms, lots of energy, active all day long, walking daily 3 miles minimum, stretching, started weight training and built muscles. I feel better than I was at thirty. Veganism is out of question for me. I am laser focused on keeping insulin low by keeping my carb intake under 30gr/day- 20 of which are fiber- and watch my calories. Remember, u all: no fat burning is possible as long as insulin is elevated- and insulin is elevated when we eat carbs.
I have had an eating disorder since my late teens when I became anorexic then bulimic. I tried OA but it was too abusive and restrictive. I was able to stop my starving and purging in my mid 30's but continued to binge and diet and exercise. In e poat menopause I gained 60 lbs and was unable to lose and keep it off. 200 lbs at 5'6" was my highest weight. I went keto but it wasnt until I recently went carnivore that I no longer crave carbs and can sit next to bread and donuts and not be fighting voices in my head. I am not hungry all the time. I have the appropriate amount of hungry. It do nott have an eating disorder anymore . I eat but dint overeat and I dont thi
At 25:28 he shifts his eyes, gulps and knows he's lying.
Ohhhh. The other guy!
@@ToriLynnH
Yeah, sorry I meant the other Dr., not Dr Westman.
I didn't quite get the timestamp right. The guy really does it a bit before.
Anyway, it just looked so shifty to me.
I eat plant based food its called the meat processing plant
Sorry doc but I've been Carnivore foe almost 5 years. I'm 74 years old. I wore glasses at 40 years old. Now I don't use glasses to function.I has an ache on my left knee. It has gone away. My muscles are growing at an incredible amount. My PTSD has diminished. My memory is improving. If this lifestyle kills me. I rather die feeling this way. The other way was very frustration.
💯
Thank you, Dr. Westman. That cardiologist gave me a few laughs. He is motivating with fear in my opinion. I prefer facts.
Thank you, Dr Westman. Your solid experience helping thousands of people reverse dangerous medical conditions and get off medications they no longer need inspires confidence. And your calm demeanor and use of good science and reason set you apart from most other "diet gurus" on the internet. I never find myself quarreling with you in my mind, LOL. Three cheers for Page Four!
Thank you so much 🙌
Amazing, this guy is a Cardiologist, did anybody inform him that fruit is seasonal for a reason.
Every time I hear a plant baser talk about fruit I want to scream. My family tree are from Norway so no bananas or pineapple grew there. They grew berries and apples and bitter rhubarb which was seasonal. And of course loads of fish. And some meat.
They came to Ireland three hundred years ago. Farmed and again no exotic fruits apples and berries seasonal. I am here to tell the tale. They kept chickens and fished and had a few livestock and potatoes and butter were staples.
Anyhow what I really want to say is enough with whole 5 a day fruit and veg.
I do keto and rarely eat much fruits but if I do I stick to harvest seasons home grown not in poly tunnel.
Seriously. He talks about there being no population that lived on a keto diet, ignoring millions of years of evolution.
@@karenohanlon4183And the 5 a day is nothing more than a marketing slogan. It's not based in evidence and Dr. Zoe Harcombe has been trying for years to figure out where it came from, and no one can explain it.
Dr Jason Fung has the best analogies to explain how insulin resistance & diabetes Type 2 develops, and how a ketogenic diet + fasting can help reverse it. I highly recommend his books because they are so eye-opening.
Agreed! He is crystal clear. Good lectures here on RUclips, too.
100%. My dad is no longer diabetic 1 month after being on keto.
the diet is not sustainable for humans or the planet. Extremely deficient in minerals and vitamins. It is a diet from a poor lifestyle. Cocaine is equal to a keto diet!
I do not care about studies. I listen to my body. I am my own study 😅 When I ate legumes, grains and fruit I had bloating, belly cramps, gaz, fibromyalgic and neuropathic pains, low energy, weak muscles. Since two years I eat keto and do intermittent fasting. All health problems are gone and I am getting stronger and stronger! 😃 I am 53, in peri menopause, no problems. I play tennis fasted, great energy thanks to the ketones.
Same.
Can you give me an example of like what your dinner meals consist of? Just looking for a place to start. Thank ya
@@racegrubb2152 bacon and eggs for breakfast. Usually steaks or roast for dinner. Fish for lunch
@@racegrubb2152 No breakfast, no lunch. Dinner: Ground beef with onion, garlic, cabbage, coconutcream, salt, pepper, curry. Cheese, dried sausage and olives for an aftermeal snack or roasted and salted nuts (macadamias, cashews and pistachios). Desert: sheepyogurt with mascarpone (to make it fat). I do not eat it all at once, I eat it in three hours (from 6 to 9 pm), relaxing and watching tv. Or one of my other favorite dinners: Omelet with bacon, cheese, mascarpone, butter, onions, leek and garlic. Sometimes I eat twice a day, the day after a hard workout, to get more protein: a can of mackerel with avocado or smoked wild salmon with boiled eggs (early afternoon). It is expensive food, but I do not spend money on restaurants, alcohol, clothes, expensive vacations, gadgets, phones (same phone for 6 years already).
@@KirstiCheetahh omg. It sounds delicious thank you
About 4 years ago, I tried the KETO diet to see what all the hubub was about. I did it for 3 months and then went to the doctor to see what the lab results said. My A1c went from the prediabetes range to 4.8, normal. My blood pressure normalized to where the doctor told me that she didn't have many hispanic 45 year old men with blood pressure that good. I lost 30lbs with little to no exercise since I work in IT and sit down on my behind for long stretches of time each day. But the greatest thing that impressed me was my triglycerides plummeted for the first time in over a decade. Boy did I struggle with bringing that down. The only thing that was "wrong" with me, was that my total cholesterol was a little high, and yet they offered a statin. I was like thanks, but no thanks. I haven't done Keto since or a follow a strict low carb diet. However, I do keep sugar and carb consumption to a bare minimum, or try to avoid sugar all completely. I use stevia to sweeten my drinks and only drink Zevia sodas. I keep the carb consumption to a minimum by not eating beans and rice every day like I used to being Mexican along with tortillas. The only tortillas I eat now are Keto friendly with 4g of carbs. I do go out to eat at restaurants like once a week and I do have dessert like every 1 to 2 weeks. I'll have Mexican cokes once in a while since they don't have HFCS and will eat snickers once in a while since I learned that a Snickers bar glycemic load is LOWER that that of a Banana (don't believe me, look it up) . But again, I have kept sugar and carb consumption to a bear minimum and especially avoid sugar as much as possible. So, just recently, 4 years after I did KETO and 4 years since my last doctor visit, I visited the doctor again because I got some food poisoning that gave me diarrhea that would not go away. Note: I weigh 211 lbs and I'm only 5ft 7in. Not obese, but bit husky b/c I do have wide shoulders and very good muscle tone and them muscles I built when I was young in the boxing gym and later in the Army pretty much stayed with me all my life till now. Anyway, I digress, they took my blood pressure and it was 115/75 ! Oh I forgot to mention that I still work in IT and sit on my behind for most of the day. Folks, sugar and carbs are the real culprits to the obesity epidemic in America, not fat or cholesterol. Heck, I eat lots eggs with the egg yolks every day and cook them on the left over bacon grease mixed with the lard I used to cook the bacon with, all in the same pan. My wife panicked 4 years ago when I started doing that saying I was going to get a heart attack...but I'm still here with a 115/75 blood pressure, as God as my witness. I gave my testimony to my family on Whatsapp and told them the BIG SECRET was to stay away from carbs and sugar as much as possible. Only my dear old aunt responding saying good for you. The rest, CRICKETS. LOL. Too many people don't want to give up regular consumption of sugar and carbs. There lies the problem folks.
You're not doing keto. Also artificial sweeteners are poisonous. Stevia is a proven hormonal disruptor. Why do you need them?
This dude thinks a snickers is healthier than a banana 😂
Thankful my cardiologist told me the best thing I could do for my heart is low carb!!❤
You are so lucky.
I know for a fact that there are cardiologists at Mayo Clinic who are personally low-carb but timidly toe the company line and push Mayo's high-carb Medit. diet. Shameful.
Whole grains make me so ill.
What’s great is that despite disagreeing and trying his best to communicate his reasoning to us, Dr Westman never resorts to personal mud-slinging. Nutrition is a very complex issue and he knows and respects this…unlike so many others.
Agree 100%!
Good on you Dr.Westman for helping many people.These plant base mentality has become like a religion to some.Keep doing what you're doing.At 67 am in my best health since following and practicing Keto.
To me same result at 70.
And me at 66 💪
@@DebraRN1195 And me at 63. 😁( 6.5 years on keto. As an ICU RN, ignorant doctors like this guy spouting off to scare people into their way of thinking makes me sooo sad.)
I lost 34 pounds while I’ve been on Keto. My blood work is great now ! Not pre diabetic anymore. My blood pressure is great also. My doctor told me to keep up the good work.
Same. Down 34lbs in five months. Off one bp med and looking to stop the other soon.
@@davidr1431 Your 34 pound weight loss and better health is fake news, according to this guy
Same here. I lost 45 pounds in last 4 months on low carb/keto diet. I have another 45 to go by years end. In the past when a doctor told me to lose weight I asked for advice. Their response was “eat less, eat low fat”. Some would even get that old pyramid chart and hand it to me. Turns out it’s not how much you eat but what you eat.
After 4 months on keto diet, I am off blood pressure medication for the first time in over 20 years. In fact the blood pressure medication was giving me too low blood pressure, like under 100 systolic. My triglycerides are down; HDL is up; LDL is down and A1c is normal. So when it comes down to who I can trust, any doctor that tells me stay away from keto is getting replaced. I am no kid, mid seventies and feeling great.
I guess I lost 80 lbs of water weight and got my A1C lower than pre-diabetic levels, with zero drugs, only to not be able to sit next to a donut...
Me too! Been keto for last two years. Lost 85 lbs. (first time my BMI has been under 25 in over 45 vears), and last A1c was 4.6.
Good job! 🎉
Yes I lost 30lbs of water weight and on keto it still hasn't returned.
He can't sale anything other than FEAR. It will keep him employed...
Exactly 💯👍. Just like those that say carbs are bad. Fear sells. Very sad.
@@DrAJ_LatinAmericaif one is diabetic and continue eating carbs that turn into sugar, guess what?
@@sixpackbinky how much carbs? Which carbs? Need more details about the person. I'm 💯 behind Atkins, Keto, low carb, carnivore... But have seen many patients go vegetarian (not vegan) based with eggs and seafood / fish, quality sleep, resistance training and walking and 100 % reversed their type 2 diabetes, dropped body fat, added muscle tissue,....I was against it but the patients are the boss and many did amazing. Many factors,any nuances involved. Plus we must have solutions for those who hate meat. Hard to believe but some people are against meat but we still have to provide solutions. YES it is possible to eat clean whole foods carbs (fruit and veggies and nuts) and reverse their diabetes. Some of the Keys points: Control, limits, lifestyle and exercise and building muscle.
But Westman isn't the best advocate for keto. He maintains a defensive stance and tone against someone who is more agressive and blurts out lies. A vegan diet isn't just as good as a keto diet, it's worse for you. High carbs, too low of fat and not enough nutrients. That's why their immune system is bad.
@@jimrutherford2773 I did not mean Eric Westman 🤣. Only vegans aggressively sale their BS baselessly but full of drama...
People like me stuck to LFHC or the SAD 'diet' but apart from looking out and minimizing fat, you could pretty much eat anything including processed/ultra-processed food. This was associated with my increasing A1C over time where I was eating high fiber cereals and fruits and a sandwich for lunch. However, I was a carboholic and loved breads, pasta, rice and beans. It wasn''t until I decided to do Keto & clocking in with an A1C of 10.1 that I was able to turn my A1C around and other bloodwork, but it did take 2 years although I rarely cheated.
Yes, type 2 diabetes is chronically high blood sugar, so how would you solve the problem with more and more sugar ? The sugar caused the problem in the first place, not eating fat or having higher LDL cholesterol.
I'm a fellow ex- carboholic! No one was happier than me to see the food pyramid rollout bc I was told all my life bread was fattening. Too bad no one's buying it anymore 🤣 All things must pass ... Congratulations on your victory! Nice work!
I had cancer and was on the vegan diet for about 5 years to help keep it at bay. When I first heard about ketogenic diet and fasting could reduce tumor sizes I was very skeptical based on my knowledge of how vegan diet works but I was curious to hear how ketogenic diet works on cancer tumors. I didn’t let skepticism kill my curiosity and that eventually leads me to understand over time how ketogenic diet and fasting can help with diabetes, cancer, and potentially Alzheimer’s. Being open-minded is the key.
Thanks Dr. Westman.
My small amount of water loss was 40kg 4 years ago and I wouldn't call it temporary either 🤣
After many years of the standard high fat and high carb I switched to meat based and got my health good.
About a year ago I tried high carb low fat as a test and found that I was not feeling satisfied after eating my meals so I stopped after a week.
I'm thinking the same when I hear that water loss argument. Carbs function like a sponge, I don't see any negative of swollen joints vanish in just a few days on keto.
@@johannas.l.brushane2518 Yes, exactly. Inflammation causes water to be retained. Looking puffy from inflammation disappears faster that looking plump from subcutaneous fat ( but that goes too, a little later). But hey! Better to be fat and inflamed and puffy than to eat meat!😮
Congrats on hitting 100K. Subscribers :-) very well done
I’ve been on low-carb diet for only 4 months and already lost nearly 30 lbs. I am sure it’s not all water. My A1C also goes down to 5.3 (from 6.1). My goal is to go as low as 4.8-5.0 in the next 3 months.
That's great, well done. I remitted my diabetes in 3 months. I've lost a lot of weight without even trying. My waist went from 44" down to 37".
As a carnivore ill listen to cardiologist philip ovadia, author of stay off my operating table, before ill ever listen even to critric, plant base bs
You're a breath of sanity in the day. 🙂
Congratulations on the 100k subscribers. Keep on spreading the good news
The perfect demonstration of "cooler heads prevail" , as long as we have the good doctor pointing out the used car salesmen pitch we hear from the Cardiologist. I do admire your calm and instructive attitude but I would have loved to been in the room the first time you watch the good doctor suggesting you were peddling black magic. I have a year into my war against carbs, a battle I do not always win. By that I mean if I did not cheat I would not have lost 50lbs in my first year. I'm 72 and my glucose averages 89. blood work is great and I feel great. I miss bread so I eat one or two slices a week. In short (to late for that) my life style has changed and carbs are my enemy,I just do not fear them or miss them for the most part.
Bingo. Too intense with too much handwaving going on, gives me a deceptive vibe. He's arguments are all correlation.
This man....Dr. Westman, is a voice of reason in this community to me.
He is an example of a doctor who doesn't give a d*** about his patients!
Keto/Carnivore has given me my life back. That's all I need to know.
Same here.
Greetings from La Crosse. I've been keto for 3 years now & have maintained my weight loss. My TG/HDL ratio is 0.8. Yes, my LDL is high but that has been largely discredited as a cause for cardiovascular disease. My Dr., who understands keto is unconcerned.
I can’t believe that doctors would choose to say that something that is working for millions of people is getting lambasted by such doctors. What happened to do no harm?
The medical field was high jacked by the pharmaceutical industry. We’ve made incredible medical leaps since Hippocrates’ time, but we’ve also lost a lot of knowledge.
They'll defend their vegan religion till the end.
What the carb promoters conveniently ignore is that sugar is addictive and carbs get converted to sugar. So eating carbs like processed sweets, bread, pasta, potatoes, rice, pizza etc has a high likelihood to cause overeating and that causes a major problem. Just look around and look what fat people eat in large quantities.
My experience has been 100+ lb weight loss, no longer on diabetic meds, hA1c of 4.9, triglyceride/ HDL ratio went from about a 15:1 to 1 to less than 3:1, carpal tunnel syndrome went into remission, and much more. I only had 1 fasting insulin and it was in the "normal" range. Next time it's checked I suspect it will be in the optimal range. Keto works great for me.
This cardiologists shows no scientific data to support any of his views/opinions/comments. I would be very careful about going to someone without checking his credentials thoroughly. Thank you Dr Westman for this review.
As a cardiologist the keto diet has hurt my ability to sell surgery.
All I know is all those "Healthiest Foods in the World", made me Fatter and Sicker than I have ever been in my life. I was 458lbs, on 300+ units of insulin a day and had a AIC in the 14's. I went Keto and am now 95% carnivore. I am down to 270lbs and I feel amazing. I need no medications now and I feel better than I did when I was in my 20's , I am 49 now. And I ended up seeing a cardiologist because my primary care doc said some wave was inverted on my EKG or something, but everyone else that has done and EKG since says it's not. The cardiologist was a vegan and when I told him I was a carnivore, he ordered every test int he world. They even injected me with some radioactive stuff before they put me in on of the machines. They gave me some shots that tried to make my heart explode, used a sound thing... It all came back perfectly normal, my vegan cardiologist seemed kind of disappointed about that.
My personal experience with a keto diet for only 3 months but with more protein than recommended, normal servings of vegetables, good fats and oils, I do some regular resistance training to not loose tomuch muscles, results are a loss of 50 pounds but I started at 300 pounds lol, depression is almost cured, blood pressure is regulated, so for me it's all positive.
Exactly. Let the critics carry on with their ego-based posturing while the rest of us just get on with using the best parts of low carb eating and adding some exercise to keep improving our health. The nay-sayers aren't interested in our health or the positive results we're getting. Their carry-on is irrelevant.
Lost 35lbs on keto! It works!
Triglycerides are fat made from carbs! Poor guy, he’s obs not a nutritionist.
Would he send a peanut allergic person home with a trunk of single use adrenaline filled syringes and tell them they should be able to have a deciliter of peanuts per day?
Good analogy!
It amazes me that all these "nutrition experts" are so keen on proving Ancel Keyes right. If that fish scientist hadn't appeared to tout his deeply flawed low fat studies way back when, would they be tacking this way? High carb was well known to aid weight gain. Keyes was a key in turning that around.
