49:00 I like the strategy where he says eat the fat first and then eat your protein, that way your satiety signals are turned on before you over eat protein and Spike your insulin! Pure gold 52:00 over-consuming lean protein overtime promotes hunger not satiety
At the 14-16 min mark in this video is me. I'm very obese, have been majority of my life but my BG levels are perfectly normal. No doctor has ever explained it and I'm glad he touched on it. I'm the person on carnivore that has a very hard time losing weight and now I know a little as to why. Thank you both for doing this video.
If you are fat but haven’t got blood sugar issues you haven’t yet reached your personal fat threshold. Some people can get very large before they do but once they eventually do, they will become diabetic the same as everyone else.
@@JWB671 been obese for 32yrs and was just thick as a child. At 53, I would think I would have hit my threshold by now. My father was obese and by 44 he was already taking 3 meds for his diabetes, blood pressure, and cholesterol. My brother who was a body builder growing up, never fat has the health problems. My sister, never fat, has health problems but me, still going strong. I have always been the healthiest eater out of us all and besides the obesity, I truly think that's what has saved me. Now eating carnivore, it will heal me completely before I reach my threshold, I guess.
I learned this from Cywes quite a while back when he mentioned this in a RUclips of his. I'm a low insulin producer as I was never really all that overweight but developed into Type 2 in my early 50's. My Fasting Insulin is fairly low now, below 6, but still Insulin Resistant a little as my HbA1c is still a little high. I have a good younger friend who is now also a Type 2 but he weighs like 340 so obviously his Insulin production is pretty high to add all the extra fat.
Intermittent fasting OMAD worked wonders for me to reduce all the fat puffyness for me. I was high carb for life and was getting more close to diabetic lately. Had to change something. This was for me. high saturated fat lower carb too.
It took 46 minutes to get the real skinny on information, so if you're short on patience, go right to the 46 minute mark. He does make a lot of sense and is helpful, cheers Doc.
Holly molly! I have taken back to school! I have managed neuropathy, obesity, diabetes II, arthritis, and hemochromatosis all with carnivore/keto diet, lifestyle/exercise, and online keto Drs......but this video has given me the tools to take it to another level! I will be reviewing this for some time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I lost 50lbs in 5 months stumbling into keto lifestyle. Not really doing keto anymore but just eating healthy, which just so happens to make me be in ketosis some parts of the day. Just simply controlling your carbs is 90 percent of the battle. I will never have to worry about gaining weight again because I now know it's simple biology. Insulin signals fat storage. I control insulin, I never gain fat again.
Yes! All this explains exactly what I’m going through!!! Rising Triglycerides, blood glucose, lowering HDL, gaining fat In The belly because I was just eating till satiated, which was a lot of protein!! Man 4 years into this and recked my labs and caused weight gain, and DRAINED of energy ALL DAY! I’ve lowered my protein and upped my fats over the last 7 weeks and I feel so much better. I will start eating my fat first then the protein and see if that helps more with satiation. I’m eating 4 very small meals a day. Getting labs this week and hopefully I can see a difference. Thank you Dr Cywes for your knowledge.
Same here…! Today I completed an 84 hour fast (Homozon and water), just to reset my gut before implementing the principles in this WOE. I expect it will help me break the weight stall and belly fat that was increasing over the past 9 months of Carnivore. This information is giving me more hope now 🙏🏽
Eating one meal per day, high fat/medium protein. Fasting 16 hours per day without trying. Only vice left is coffee and cream. No milk because of lactose (sugar). Weight is pouring off with ease, more energy than I know what to do with, no more diabetes, quit smoking easily, no more pain from arthritis, a good mood every single morning, good sleep and no drawbacks! My breakfast is about two teaspoons of butter, one in my coffee and one in my mouth. I alternate egg days with meat days. Either three eggs with cream cheese or solid muscle beef with good marbling and a rind of fat. I never get hungry. I no longer crave sweet and/or carbs.
I absolutely admire and respect Dr. Noakes and Dr. Cywes. You just intuitively know they’re honest and real. There’s no BS with these docs in the low carb/keto space.
This makes so much sense. A lot of useful information packed into this video. Type 1 diabetics are told to count carbs. But beyond a certain amount of protein, they should factor "excess protein" into insulin dosage requirements. Bernstein discusses it but the mainstream doesn't seem to mention the effect of protein on blood sugar and insulin adjustments so much. This must have implications for people doing OMAD as well. It may not be the best approach for blood sugar control and weight loss. Time to watch the video again, taking notes along the way. Thanks!
I think this explains why I was gaining on carnivore. I think my full signals are broken. I was eating almost 5 pounds of steak a day following the advice of eat til you're full. After seeing this video when it came out I cut down to about a third to half of that and added more fats. In my month since I lost the 10 pounds I gained and a couple extra pounds with it. Way better results
Wow! So much fantastic information! Breaking down the way my body uses food and seeing more meaning in some of my blood work from this info from Dr. Cywes, I have much more to learn about my body’s needs! Thank you Dr. Cywes and Bronson for opening (and blowing) my mind! 👏🏼🤩❤️
This finally answered a question I've had for months, why did my blood glucose go up so dramatically when I did carnivore? Thank you for posting this interview, very helpful!
We 'harvest' our own beef and a lot of cuts are very lean. When I mince/grind lean cuts, I deliberately add subcutaneous (or suet - intraabdominal fat) to make it palatable
Bariatric patient tryin to navigate the keto world, is very hard. This discussion was helpful, but gotta watch it about 6 more times to get it to sink in. ♡♡
My takeaway is: Because I am Carnivore on two meals a day I am consuming too much protein per session. Based on info here I cannot use that much protein at any one time so I need to eat more meals a day to spread that out. I'm going to try three meals a day, not hard to do on a 16/8 fast...
Every time I think I’ve heard the best video ever another video comes along. I cannot wait for the second one. I shared this to so many places on Facebook
I need to listen to this again! I lost 60 on keto too fast and lost muscle mass. Needed to gain muscle and was trying carnivore - not good! Couldn't eat enough so weak and exhausted all the time. I went back to keto with about 50-100 carbs/day! It's working and I have more energy. Btw I am 65 female. No one told me to eat more carbs. Not worried about gaining weight.
Regarding the "central governor theory" at around 20:00 and subsequent discussion, if I'm following correctly, the assertion seems to be that fat-adapted athletes do not experience a brain-induced shutdown of the muscles, because they have ketones and fat available to use as a backup energy source. I'm fine with that part. However, my understanding from other sources on this topic, is that fat molecules and sugar molecules contain different ratios of oxygen within them. Sugar being C6H12O6, and fat being C54H108O6 (with some slight variation). This gives sugar a much higher ratio of "onboard" oxygen than fat molecules, upwards of 9x higher, making it a better fuel for anaerobic exertion, since the lungs don't have to do all the heavy lifting to oxidize the fuel. Whereas fat oxidation relies on oxygen pulled in through the lungs to occur. I can see maybe that being more fat adapted could train your lungs to become more efficient, and thus expand the range in which you can perform tasks aerobically, but I have also heard that to a large extent, VO2 max isn't something you can really train. For anaerobic tasks like weightlifting, sprinting, etc, glucose will always outperform fat, right? They're not metabolically equal in terms of function. They both have their role. Unless I'm not understanding something key about how fat is metabolized.
Dr. Cywes is such an amazing man! I was amazed that he was able to tell that I gain weight fast just by my blood work. I also love the fact that he knows just how addictive sugar is as I struggle with it daily.
Good interview, thanks. The discussion about protein quantity and splitting a large steak into multiple meals resonates with me. I tried the large steak OMAD approach, "eating till comfortably stuffed" and it was a disaster. Very fatigued. Recently switched to 4 smaller meals per day, coming in at approx 150-170g protein in total per day and feel much better. I have no idea how Shawn Baker can get away with his enormous protein OMAD protocol. It works for him, but I can't understand how he ever gets into ketosis, with such large bolus of protein per sitting. As Dr Cywes stated, any excess protein beyond what out bodies can utilise gets grabbed via insulin, turned to sugar and ultimately stored as fat.
@@awesomesauce3110 Yes, metabolic flexibility should be the goal. In this society, with what is found in the grocery stores and sold to us, avoiding some of the carbs is necessary.
@@awesomesauce3110 Can you explain that a bit more please with some reference links? I thought you had to be in ketosis in order to metabolise fat as fuel
This was a fantastic interview… thank you! I was listening in the car so I will be watching again in the morning with my notebook and my pen. I knew I needed to up my fat so this was a good listen ALSO my hubby is dealing with frozen shoulder issues and I’ve been trying to encourage him to make a few changes… slow and steady wins the race… hoping he will be on the ketovore wagon with me soon 👍🏼
Wow, kinda makes me think about my protein sparing days now. A lot of talk about athletes. What about people who just lift a little 3 days a week, if you are pre diabetic, and..... lots of questions. Can't wait for the follow ups on this.
have you consulted with him via video or in person? wondering if cheaper in person and faster to see him he is taking appointments into july/august for video or phone chat at $500 for 45-60 mins first appointment then $300 or something like that for 30 minutes follow up appointments. I have to save $ to see him
Interesting topic. I am 6’5” tall and approximately 215 pounds. I’ve been strict carnivore for approximately two years. Have typically fasted on a regular basis. Lift weights five times a week and usually get 15 to 20,000 steps in daily. Was recently fascinated by Dr. Shawn Baker mentioning that his hemoglobin A1c level was 6.3. I found this peculiar but then it started to occur to me that maybe there was something to this excessive protein intake and gluconeogenesis. Clearly his average blood sugars have been elevated based on that A1c level. I’ve been experimenting with cutting my protein and increasing my fat over the past couple of weeks. I typically used to consume 250 to 300 g of protein a day and about 100 to 150 g of fat. I’ve cut out the fasting and eat three meals a day and I cut my protein to about 100 To 150 g daily. Have also increased my fats to over 200 g daily. I’ve added a lot of butter and some avocados to my daily regimen. I’ve broken up the portions of meat throughout the day. I’m going to track my post prandial blood sugars and see how things pan out and also see what effect this has on my body composition. This morning, I had two small avocados, 4 tablespoons of butter, and 4 ounces of feta for breakfast after working out. 30 minutes postprandial, my blood sugar was 68. We’ll see how my postprandial sugars are with bigger meat and protein boluses.
So had about 10 slices of bacon and 10 egg yolks for lunch yesterday. 2 hour blood sugar was 86. Fasting blood sugar this morning upon waking was 91. Had a ribeye with some butter for dinner but didn’t check sugar after that. Going to keep tracking
One advantage of buying the cut of beef called picanha from Winn-Dixie here in Florida is that usually they won’t trim much of the fat from it. Occasionally some butcher used to catering to the fat-phobic will remove almost all of it…
I’ve had to find upbeat ways to ask my butcher NOT to remove the fat. Can you suggest variations on that request? I’m beginning to sound like a broken record!😢
in my 20's i was drinking tons of low sugar protein powder. I was starving and at all the junk food all the time. I didn't know why untill now. I was working out 5 times a day for a few hours. I was trying to build muscle and lean out. Nope. Got stronger a bit but didn't change the shell look of me at all. You are saviour. I was about to go down the over -protein route and keep puffyness some more. Just lost 50 pounds 212 to 170, added a good bit of muscle. 28% to 19% BF. But was overdoing the protein on OMAD in that one sitting, need to spread it out. Thanks. Science and trials are cool. Time to run with no food or water for a day. See what happens. I can rollerblade 2 hours, mouth breath and do not get thirsty anymore. Took a bit of this low carb thing. 6 months. To get fat adapted more thouroughly. I was pre-diabetic my whole life or on the tee ter totter edge of it. Super addicted to fast food and fried foods. No soda in the past 10 years. Still crept up on me. Was getting PN in my feet.
Aha! I've had lifelong musculoskeletal pain/tenderness/stiffness with sacroiliitis and tendinitis variously diagnosed as sero-negative spondarthropathy or fibromyalgia. Exercise of any kind was a misery. I got progressively fatter (to 130kg) and finally spilled into pre-diabetes and hypertension. At that stage I found keto and fixed all of the above (although I still don't enjoy exercise)
I’ve done keto many times. What makes me satiated the most is having protein fat and some carbs tbh, zero carbs or zero fat leaves me feeling hungry even when I’m full
I can attest to what Dr. Cywes said about lean protein, I am hungry if I don't consume fat, no matter how much protein I eat. I don't buy lean protein ever since I noticed my body's respons to lean meats. Great chit chat.
46:18 The bottom line to metabolism. Took notes about ingesting FAT first, then protein to metabolize efficiently, while reducing triglycerides, cholesterol and weight management.
I’m so glad to hear you use “meat” to cover all animal flesh! It grates on my sensibilities to hear ppl using “meat” to only refer to red meat. Meat is meat no matter id it’s fish or chicken or beef!!
Rabbit sickness or protein poisoning is something I've heard about for decades. But most people don't have a clue. I do great on a high protein, high fat, low carb diet, but it's nearly impossible for me to stick to and cook for others.
Thought... I'm assuming that aortic aneurysms are caused by high blood glucose. We need a study to confirm that. Also, will a change to the keto or carnivore diets not only stop the progression of the aneurysm but also possibly improve the health of the aorta to the point that the aorta might shrink towards it's normal size?
I am over 4 months on carni. I started with grass feed grass finished beef. After two months, I switched to grass fed grain finished. Is it possible that that change could have caused my hiatal hernia to suddenly act up after 10+ years of being in submission?
Hi you asked for questions. Firstly I loved this and will listen again when not multitasking at work. Question is fatty fish acceptable as it is not saturated fat? When he suggests fat first, would he then suggest whole eggs before a chicken breast, shrimp, other leaner types of protein?
I have recently read Eat Like The Animals, which I found most interesting. They maintain that there are six appetites, the last one being the appetite for profit…!! They agree with much of your discussion. Perhaps we should all eat a tin of sardines in olive oil on a daily basis…!!
Its ironic that I would watch this video today. My doctor wants me to lower my LDL. So, like a good girl I had a lowfat can of salmon with 1 hardboiled egg, 1 slice lowfat cheese, 1 small avocado, a salad with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half cup lowfat yogurt with 1tsp almond butter. It's fair to say I had enough protein and calories. I'm a 5'3" 60 year old women. I am SO DARN HUNGRY!! I can't wait for dinner.
Yes, but what are your triglycerides levels and more importantly the ratio of triglycerides to HDL? The better that ratio (lower triglycerides and higher HDL) determines the type of LDL...better the ratio, the less harmful and more useful your LDL is. The hunger will go away as your ketones/ fatty acids increase, it's just your brain demanding glucose.
@@nolansacket3457 Hello, yes I did point out the fact to my doctor that my triglycerides are 56 and my HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio is 3.1. Total cholesterol being 288. I eat low carb but not keto. My A1C is 5.3 and my BMI is 22. I think leaner people tend to be more hyper responders. But, I think Keto is an excellent lifestyle for those who have blood sugar issues or have significant weight to lose. I do plan on eating more fatty fish but none of this low fat bullshit. Low fat triggers binge eating and is STUPID!!
Ben Bikman: Fats help you digest protein better. You get more out of your dietary protein if you eat with fats. By the way, HS the low fat this and low fat that and low fat everywhere.
As a black man live in the city of London .I been weight training from 1978 till now it is the 2.11.2022 I am of to the gym for leg workout ,yes I still have my muscle .yes I am drug free ,yes win lots of those EFBB bodybuilding competition and become British champion bodybuilder. Age 58 I still train heavy still people ask me you look so young .yes but I do weight training. Ps stop eating carbohydrate it make you fat.i did my own research on my self trust me all carbohydrate make you fat and you fall a sleep real quick as you eat carbohydrate. I love eating meat beef lamb chicken Turkey salmon cod eggs whey.protine eat as much as you want in one meal , I love protein foods .
My diet has been largely animal based for a couple of years now. I do/did suffer from inflammation and stiffness, my one hip was literally on a weekly cycle. 3 to 4 days of pain and stiffness, a few days good - repeat. A couple of weeks ago I decided to go high fat. I haven't mastered cooking fat or enjoy it. I was eating most chewable trimmings and adding ghee or butter. I started taking 1/4 cup Acropolis olive oil first thing in the morning. Then throughout the day I have 2-3 cups dilute decaf Marley coffee with a half stick of butter per emulsified cupful. Almost within a day the inflammation improved drastically. Previously if I tried a chin up my elbows would scream. I just managed one yesterday with no pain. I just did a solo canoe trip for 3 days in rugged Temagami wilderness with close to 30 portages. I felt it in my hip but it resolved within a day. All the research about health can drive one beneuks. It really made me wonder about the mechanisms of damage but this sheds so much light on it for the laymen like myself. Many of us have a long history of experimentation, supplements, diets, lifestyle habits etc. I take frequent saunas, started 4-4-6-2 breathing in the morning and so on. I always wondered, was it the gut bacteria, toxins, constipation, genetics, parasites, moon cycle??? Anyways, thanks for the info and look forward to more podcasts and the book. Dr. Cywes if you're near Toronto again someday, drive 3 hours north and I will buy you a coffee and half a dozen donuts, ha ha haaa...
Interesting. I'm addicted to macadamia nutbutter (it's a fat). It just ticks all my boxes. So I try to get my required protein in daily, but fats is what makes me feel awesome and extremely happy!
This was a great talk. Lots of great info throughout the conversation. I have always known fat is important for health and weight management. Now I know more of the scientific reasons why. My motto has been Fat keeps you lean. Glad to hear support for my basic science background and what I have seen through observation of people's eating habits. And also my love for chicken wings and full fat milk is not an indulgence but a good eating habit. Hope to hear more info as the science evolves.
Paul Saladino has also been very fascinating lately. He clearly looks like a different person since the implementation of honey and fruit that he’s been pushing. Doesn’t look as chiseled and lean and muscular as he once did . Also looks a little bit more bloated and bubble gut to me. In my opinion, I don’t think that what he’s doing is all that optimal
@@dreamthemusicnow I mean, if it works for him then there is nothing wrong with it. It’s just that his results most likely would not translate across a general population. If I ate what he ate, I’d look like Gerard Depardieux! And again, he looks different to me since he’s started the fruit and honey. He was much more muscular and chiseled previously
@@stepheneverhardt4731 I actually have since implemented fruit and honey. I wanted to try it and not just bash it without just cause and evidence. Been doing since June 15. I have to say I enjoy and I’m doing and feeling well on it. Have gotten leaner and more muscular looking and “bigger”. No real change in weight, just body comp. Big impact on my sugars which I’ve been tracking. Morning fasting sugars and postprandial sugars have all significantly trended downward. Going to stick with it for the time being.
300g steak is not 300g of protein. Good luck eating 300g of protein from meat in a single sitting, that's about 1.5 kilograms of meat. I understand that the guest was going for an analogy, but it was a poorly crafted one in my opinion. Still, I'm looking forward to that book he mentioned; he's probably more eloquent in written format.
This explains why, if I'm listening to my body, I always go for the ribeye, the fatty bacon/pork belly, chicken leg and thigh with all the skin on it - or better DUCK - lamb, salmon...all that meat with the fat, lol. SOOOO good! Thank you for this! It's been awesome and I will have to listen again with that note pad you mentioned at the beginning 😅
At the approx 1:00 mark and discussing the Red blood cell(Hemoglobin) lifespan. It is presumed a normal red blood cell lives approx 120 days give or take depending on many variables. However the HbA1C test tests at the approx 90 day mark. So wouldn't that mean the lifespan of Hemoglobin should not be an issue? You can get a lower HbA1C number by simply donating blood prior to a blood test.
I'm a type 1 diabetic and take lantus and novolog at 6am...the novolog is a sliding scale but the lantus is always 6 units am and 5 at 8pm. I jog at 8am and other mornings I will do another form of cardio...I'm assuming from what Dr Cywes quoted on exercising on an empty stomach(which I do, but I still have to take my insulin) that it's best because insulin is low allowing fat burn...so in my case I'm guessing my fat burning is low or none at all due to my insulin that I take at 6am??
From what I understand, collagen drinks don't provide all the amino acids. So does that mean the body cannot utilize it properly at the time of ingestion? If the missing amino acids are provided LATER that day through eating a steak, for example, do those combine with the collagen to make it all usable?
I went on a Keto journey and after about a year I was doing carnivore. What do you think about adding avocado to carnivore? I do think my fat/protein ratio has tilted too far to protein. I do still like chicken, and I feel like adding the avocado brings its ratio back to where we need. Thoughts?
I can tell when walking on the treadmill, that about 13-15 minutes in, my body seems to really kick in at that point, and it feels like I could walk forever. Is that when I'm switching over to burning fat?
@@coach.bronson I've been in ketosis for about 2 months and wow can I tell a difference in my energy level. I'm 57 feeling 25. Lost@38 lbs so far. It feels good that I've learned how to work the system, but I almost fell guilty, watching folks my age and younger, walking around looking and feeling so tired. I try to tell people what I've learned, but carbs have such a hold on them. It's like looking at drug addicts, not willing to give it up. It's sad really. Thanks for the reply.
Where I need clarity. I am older and need to lose weight. I have metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure meds and thyroid. I too gained on carnivore or plateaued. I got the impression from the talk that if you are insulin resistant, you might need a little carb to get the insulin up to improve. Was I right? That may be the key.
@@coach.bronson good to know, I was on a 2MAD schedule until recently when I switched to OMAD, based on this information I will swap back. I assume that 80-100g protein from steak in one sitting is under whatever threshold we need to stay under with 6 hours between meals (Alan Aragon himself has come out and said that his 20g of protein max for MPS study isn't valid in the real world)
Again it's back to the body over the mind. Win hoff said it. You train your body to tell your brain, it's ok i got it. Your brain said, it's lunch time, fire up the hunger hormones. Or your brain says, the doc said drink more water. Not always true either. Fasting is a mental exerciese for sure. Your body eventualy says, i got it. I was metabolialy broken before 6 months ago. I couldn't go 3 hours without food. I'd get super moody. Now it's much easier and comfortable to not eat for a day. OMAD high fat, done, just try it. These guys are spot on. Mental gymnastics. or body gymnastics. Cold showers do lots of interesting things. Or hormesis. Very good talk
Key for keto this time around is use of monosaturated fats…many have snps that mutate desaturate enzymes to metabolize saturated fats. We started eating grass fed beef sausage to organic primal mayo (thx costco) that have high monosaturated fats..coupled with vegs like artichoke heart to heart of palms low-carb noodles..has finally let us shift to keto within a week. Healthy keto like this is key..don’t assume everyone can desaturate saturated fats..and to also minimize polysaturated fats that easily oxidize.
Thank you for the promise of a "recap".......please help us common ordinary humans out here......and please when you mean something like lepten....call it that, not numbers and letters and expect us to make sense of it!
Totally up to you. That's the main point of the conversation. What are your goals? If you drink milk, does it help you get there or not. Be your own experiment. Milk can be great for someone trying to build a lot of muscle.
The problem with low carb/keto and carnivore is they control blood sugar and A1C very well, at least for a few years. But the large protein content causes huge spikes in insulin. Protein spikes insulin much higher than carbs. And it is insulin after all that causes all kinds of health problems including heart disease.
49:00 I like the strategy where he says eat the fat first and then eat your protein, that way your satiety signals are turned on before you over eat protein and Spike your insulin! Pure gold
52:00 over-consuming lean protein overtime promotes hunger not satiety
At the 14-16 min mark in this video is me. I'm very obese, have been majority of my life but my BG levels are perfectly normal. No doctor has ever explained it and I'm glad he touched on it. I'm the person on carnivore that has a very hard time losing weight and now I know a little as to why. Thank you both for doing this video.
If you are fat but haven’t got blood sugar issues you haven’t yet reached your personal fat threshold. Some people can get very large before they do but once they eventually do, they will become diabetic the same as everyone else.

@@sherrilynhartsell6042 keep going! Proud of you
I learned this from Cywes quite a while back when he mentioned this in a RUclips of his. I'm a low insulin producer as I was never really all that overweight but developed into Type 2 in my early 50's. My Fasting Insulin is fairly low now, below 6, but still Insulin Resistant a little as my HbA1c is still a little high. I have a good younger friend who is now also a Type 2 but he weighs like 340 so obviously his Insulin production is pretty high to add all the extra fat.
Intermittent fasting OMAD worked wonders for me to reduce all the fat puffyness for me. I was high carb for life and was getting more close to diabetic lately. Had to change something. This was for me. high saturated fat lower carb too.
It took 46 minutes to get the real skinny on information, so if you're short on patience, go right to the 46 minute mark. He does make a lot of sense and is helpful, cheers Doc.
45:54
Thanks. I was indeed losing patience.

Holly molly! I have taken back to school! I have managed neuropathy, obesity, diabetes II, arthritis, and hemochromatosis all with carnivore/keto diet, lifestyle/exercise, and online keto Drs......but this video has given me the tools to take it to another level! I will be reviewing this for some time! Thank you, thank you, thank you!
I lost 50lbs in 5 months stumbling into keto lifestyle. Not really doing keto anymore but just eating healthy, which just so happens to make me be in ketosis some parts of the day. Just simply controlling your carbs is 90 percent of the battle. I will never have to worry about gaining weight again because I now know it's simple biology. Insulin signals fat storage. I control insulin, I never gain fat again.
How do I control insulin?
Yes! All this explains exactly what I’m going through!!! Rising Triglycerides, blood glucose, lowering HDL, gaining fat In The belly because I was just eating till satiated, which was a lot of protein!! Man 4 years into this and recked my labs and caused weight gain, and DRAINED of energy ALL DAY! I’ve lowered my protein and upped my fats over the last 7 weeks and I feel so much better. I will start eating my fat first then the protein and see if that helps more with satiation. I’m eating 4 very small meals a day. Getting labs this week and hopefully I can see a difference. Thank you Dr Cywes for your knowledge.
Same here…! Today I completed an 84 hour fast (Homozon and water), just to reset my gut before implementing the principles in this WOE. I expect it will help me break the weight stall and belly fat that was increasing over the past 9 months of Carnivore. This information is giving me more hope now 🙏🏽
Can you update us on your labs ?
Eating one meal per day, high fat/medium protein. Fasting 16 hours per day without trying. Only vice left is coffee and cream. No milk because of lactose (sugar). Weight is pouring off with ease, more energy than I know what to do with, no more diabetes, quit smoking easily, no more pain from arthritis, a good mood every single morning, good sleep and no drawbacks! My breakfast is about two teaspoons of butter, one in my coffee and one in my mouth. I alternate egg days with meat days. Either three eggs with cream cheese or solid muscle beef with good marbling and a rind of fat. I never get hungry. I no longer crave sweet and/or carbs.
What part of your labs were wrecked?
How do you add fat. I eat brown butter but only about 2 T. My ratios are usually 60/40. I don’t like dairy products except for a bit of cheese.
I absolutely admire and respect Dr. Noakes and Dr. Cywes. You just intuitively know they’re honest and real. There’s no BS with these docs in the low carb/keto space.
This makes so much sense. A lot of useful information packed into this video. Type 1 diabetics are told to count carbs. But beyond a certain amount of protein, they should factor "excess protein" into insulin dosage requirements. Bernstein discusses it but the mainstream doesn't seem to mention the effect of protein on blood sugar and insulin adjustments so much.
This must have implications for people doing OMAD as well. It may not be the best approach for blood sugar control and weight loss.
Time to watch the video again, taking notes along the way. Thanks!
In this case, cywes is not counting fasting, but a context with three meals. If you add the complexity that comes with fasting then is another thing.
@codniggh maybe because that's how most people eat who can afford to, or have the habits of the standard (sick) western diet.
This was a fantastic interview Coach! So informative and makes sense!! Looking forward to Part 2 👊
What a phenomenal interview! Thank you to you both!
Dr. Cywes is a real gift to mankind! Such a sweet person and intelligent man!
I absolutely enjoyed this entire video! I had so many of my questions answered. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Very very informative, thanks Coach!
So much to unpack here! Looking forward to Part 2.
Amazing information! Eagerly awaiting the publication of the textbook.
This was a good interview. It pretty much confirmed what I understand about protein. Thankyou
I think this explains why I was gaining on carnivore. I think my full signals are broken. I was eating almost 5 pounds of steak a day following the advice of eat til you're full. After seeing this video when it came out I cut down to about a third to half of that and added more fats. In my month since I lost the 10 pounds I gained and a couple extra pounds with it. Way better results
Wow! So much fantastic information! Breaking down the way my body uses food and seeing more meaning in some of my blood work from this info from Dr. Cywes, I have much more to learn about my body’s needs! Thank you Dr. Cywes and Bronson for opening (and blowing) my mind! 👏🏼🤩❤️
Two health icons in one video...awesome! Looking forward to the book release March 2023.
This finally answered a question I've had for months, why did my blood glucose go up so dramatically when I did carnivore? Thank you for posting this interview, very helpful!
Hey, where you been?
@@coach.bronson ahahaha!! Accidentally messing up my progress. But I'm done experimenting, I know your program works so I'm back, baby!
Looking forward to your follow up video.
We 'harvest' our own beef and a lot of cuts are very lean. When I mince/grind lean cuts, I deliberately add subcutaneous (or suet - intraabdominal fat) to make it palatable
Bariatric patient tryin to navigate the keto world, is very hard. This discussion was helpful, but gotta watch it about 6 more times to get it to sink in. ♡♡
Perfect explanation of fat & protein dynamics! So glad Dr Cywes is my doc!❤
My takeaway is:
Because I am Carnivore on two meals a day I am consuming too much protein per session. Based on info here I cannot use that much protein at any one time so I need to eat more meals a day to spread that out. I'm going to try three meals a day, not hard to do on a 16/8 fast...
Every time I think I’ve heard the best video ever another video comes along. I cannot wait for the second one. I shared this to so many places on Facebook
Wow. Thank you Dr. Cywes from Lakefield Ontario!!!!
Wow my mind is blown!
I need to watch this again!
I need to listen to this again! I lost 60 on keto too fast and lost muscle mass. Needed to gain muscle and was trying carnivore - not good! Couldn't eat enough so weak and exhausted all the time. I went back to keto with about 50-100 carbs/day! It's working and I have more energy. Btw I am 65 female. No one told me to eat more carbs. Not worried about gaining weight.
Regarding the "central governor theory" at around 20:00 and subsequent discussion, if I'm following correctly, the assertion seems to be that fat-adapted athletes do not experience a brain-induced shutdown of the muscles, because they have ketones and fat available to use as a backup energy source. I'm fine with that part. However, my understanding from other sources on this topic, is that fat molecules and sugar molecules contain different ratios of oxygen within them. Sugar being C6H12O6, and fat being C54H108O6 (with some slight variation). This gives sugar a much higher ratio of "onboard" oxygen than fat molecules, upwards of 9x higher, making it a better fuel for anaerobic exertion, since the lungs don't have to do all the heavy lifting to oxidize the fuel. Whereas fat oxidation relies on oxygen pulled in through the lungs to occur. I can see maybe that being more fat adapted could train your lungs to become more efficient, and thus expand the range in which you can perform tasks aerobically, but I have also heard that to a large extent, VO2 max isn't something you can really train. For anaerobic tasks like weightlifting, sprinting, etc, glucose will always outperform fat, right? They're not metabolically equal in terms of function. They both have their role. Unless I'm not understanding something key about how fat is metabolized.
Agreed, but O2 requirement is different for fat/ketone metabolism v glucose metabolism. Read up on ketone esters
Dr. Cywes is such an amazing man! I was amazed that he was able to tell that I gain weight fast just by my blood work. I also love the fact that he knows just how addictive sugar is as I struggle with it daily.
This interview is SO awesome!!! It totally clicked!!!
Good interview, thanks.
The discussion about protein quantity and splitting a large steak into multiple meals resonates with me.
I tried the large steak OMAD approach, "eating till comfortably stuffed" and it was a disaster. Very fatigued. Recently switched to 4 smaller meals per day, coming in at approx 150-170g protein in total per day and feel much better.
I have no idea how Shawn Baker can get away with his enormous protein OMAD protocol. It works for him, but I can't understand how he ever gets into ketosis, with such large bolus of protein per sitting. As Dr Cywes stated, any excess protein beyond what out bodies can utilise gets grabbed via insulin, turned to sugar and ultimately stored as fat.
Baker == workouts
You can be fat adapted and not be in ketosis.
@@awesomesauce3110 Yes, metabolic flexibility should be the goal. In this society, with what is found in the grocery stores and sold to us, avoiding some of the carbs is necessary.
@@awesomesauce3110 Can you explain that a bit more please with some reference links? I thought you had to be in ketosis in order to metabolise fat as fuel
Finally worked for me for weightloss. 3/4 small meals 120g protein total a day, fat to satiety.
Wauw 🤩love this one. Im awake now. Thanx😍
This was a fantastic interview… thank you! I was listening in the car so I will be watching again in the morning with my notebook and my pen. I knew I needed to up my fat so this was a good listen ALSO my hubby is dealing with frozen shoulder issues and I’ve been trying to encourage him to make a few changes… slow and steady wins the race… hoping he will be on the ketovore wagon with me soon 👍🏼
Wow, kinda makes me think about my protein sparing days now. A lot of talk about athletes. What about people who just lift a little 3 days a week, if you are pre diabetic, and..... lots of questions. Can't wait for the follow ups on this.
This was mind blowing. Thank you.
Dr Cywes is the best!!!! The most comprehensive and compassionate doctor that I’ve ever worked with.
have you consulted with him via video or in person? wondering if cheaper in person and faster to see him
he is taking appointments into july/august for video or phone chat at $500 for 45-60 mins first appointment then $300 or something like that for 30 minutes follow up appointments. I have to save $ to see him
Fantastic interview chock-full of information; thank you!!
Great interview!! I am going to listen one more time!
Waiting patiently for the second part, Thank you so much for sharing this important interview 🙏🌷🌷🌷
Interesting topic. I am 6’5” tall and approximately 215 pounds. I’ve been strict carnivore for approximately two years. Have typically fasted on a regular basis. Lift weights five times a week and usually get 15 to 20,000 steps in daily.
Was recently fascinated by Dr. Shawn Baker mentioning that his hemoglobin A1c level was 6.3. I found this peculiar but then it started to occur to me that maybe there was something to this excessive protein intake and gluconeogenesis. Clearly his average blood sugars have been elevated based on that A1c level.
I’ve been experimenting with cutting my protein and increasing my fat over the past couple of weeks. I typically used to consume 250 to 300 g of protein a day and about 100 to 150 g of fat.
I’ve cut out the fasting and eat three meals a day and I cut my protein to about 100 To 150 g daily. Have also increased my fats to over 200 g daily.
I’ve added a lot of butter and some avocados to my daily regimen. I’ve broken up the portions of meat throughout the day. I’m going to track my post prandial blood sugars and see how things pan out and also see what effect this has on my body composition.
This morning, I had two small avocados, 4 tablespoons of butter, and 4 ounces of feta for breakfast after working out. 30 minutes postprandial, my blood sugar was 68. We’ll see how my postprandial sugars are with bigger meat and protein boluses.
So had about 10 slices of bacon and 10 egg yolks for lunch yesterday. 2 hour blood sugar was 86.
Fasting blood sugar this morning upon waking was 91.
Had a ribeye with some butter for dinner but didn’t check sugar after that.
Going to keep tracking
Great stuff. Going for the replay right now. 👍🏾
WHOA!!! Mind blown! 🤯 Great interview!!!!!!! Time to rewatch, and get to learning!!
Super presentation! Can't wait for the next one!
One advantage of buying the cut of beef called picanha from Winn-Dixie here in Florida is that usually they won’t trim much of the fat from it. Occasionally some butcher used to catering to the fat-phobic will remove almost all of it…
I’ve had to find upbeat ways to ask my butcher NOT to remove the fat. Can you suggest variations on that request? I’m beginning to sound like a broken record!😢
@@1timbarrett maybe avoid saying it’s for consumption. Say you’re making tallow skin cream or soap?
in my 20's i was drinking tons of low sugar protein powder. I was starving and at all the junk food all the time. I didn't know why untill now. I was working out 5 times a day for a few hours. I was trying to build muscle and lean out. Nope. Got stronger a bit but didn't change the shell look of me at all.
You are saviour. I was about to go down the over -protein route and keep puffyness some more. Just lost 50 pounds 212 to 170, added a good bit of muscle. 28% to 19% BF. But was overdoing the protein on OMAD in that one sitting, need to spread it out. Thanks. Science and trials are cool. Time to run with no food or water for a day. See what happens. I can rollerblade 2 hours, mouth breath and do not get thirsty anymore. Took a bit of this low carb thing. 6 months. To get fat adapted more thouroughly. I was pre-diabetic my whole life or on the tee ter totter edge of it. Super addicted to fast food and fried foods. No soda in the past 10 years. Still crept up on me. Was getting PN in my feet.
Aha! I've had lifelong musculoskeletal pain/tenderness/stiffness with sacroiliitis and tendinitis variously diagnosed as sero-negative spondarthropathy or fibromyalgia. Exercise of any kind was a misery. I got progressively fatter (to 130kg) and finally spilled into pre-diabetes and hypertension. At that stage I found keto and fixed all of the above (although I still don't enjoy exercise)
What about adding MCT oil to the protein shake.
I’ve done keto many times. What makes me satiated the most is having protein fat and some carbs tbh, zero carbs or zero fat leaves me feeling hungry even when I’m full
Try to make a prolonged fasting, 35-48 hrs. That fixes the problem.
This guys is in a league of his own.
I can attest to what Dr. Cywes said about lean protein, I am hungry if I don't consume fat, no matter how much protein I eat. I don't buy lean protein ever since I noticed my body's respons to lean meats. Great chit chat.
46:18 The bottom line to metabolism. Took notes about ingesting FAT first, then protein to metabolize efficiently, while reducing triglycerides, cholesterol and weight management.
I’m so glad to hear you use “meat” to cover all animal flesh! It grates on my sensibilities to hear ppl using “meat” to only refer to red meat. Meat is meat no matter id it’s fish or chicken or beef!!
Rabbit sickness or protein poisoning is something I've heard about for decades. But most people don't have a clue. I do great on a high protein, high fat, low carb diet, but it's nearly impossible for me to stick to and cook for others.
Thought... I'm assuming that aortic aneurysms are caused by high blood glucose. We need a study to confirm that. Also, will a change to the keto or carnivore diets not only stop the progression of the aneurysm but also possibly improve the health of the aorta to the point that the aorta might shrink towards it's normal size?
I am over 4 months on carni. I started with grass feed grass finished beef. After two months, I switched to grass fed grain finished. Is it possible that that change could have caused my hiatal hernia to suddenly act up after 10+ years of being in submission?
I'm not aware of any connection between eating meat and hernias...
Hi you asked for questions. Firstly I loved this and will listen again when not multitasking at work. Question is fatty fish acceptable as it is not saturated fat? When he suggests fat first, would he then suggest whole eggs before a chicken breast, shrimp, other leaner types of protein?
yes it's fine
Fatty fish is ideal
I have recently read Eat Like The Animals, which I found most interesting.
They maintain that there are six appetites, the last one being the appetite for profit…!!
They agree with much of your discussion.
Perhaps we should all eat a tin of sardines in olive oil on a daily basis…!!
Its ironic that I would watch this video today. My doctor wants me to lower my LDL. So, like a good girl I had a lowfat can of salmon with 1 hardboiled egg, 1 slice lowfat cheese, 1 small avocado, a salad with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, half cup lowfat yogurt with 1tsp almond butter. It's fair to say I had enough protein and calories. I'm a 5'3" 60 year old women. I am SO DARN HUNGRY!! I can't wait for dinner.
I hope you switch it up and eat good fats! It will change your life… just say no to low-fat!!
Yes, but what are your triglycerides levels and more importantly the ratio of triglycerides to HDL? The better that ratio (lower triglycerides and higher HDL) determines the type of LDL...better the ratio, the less harmful and more useful your LDL is. The hunger will go away as your ketones/ fatty acids increase, it's just your brain demanding glucose.
Eat red meat and quit listening to the doctor in the LDL cult. Whatever your cholesterol is is what the body requires. Don’t screw with it.
@@nolansacket3457 Hello, yes I did point out the fact to my doctor that my triglycerides are 56 and my HDL/LDL cholesterol ratio is 3.1. Total cholesterol being 288. I eat low carb but not keto. My A1C is 5.3 and my BMI is 22. I think leaner people tend to be more hyper responders. But, I think Keto is an excellent lifestyle for those who have blood sugar issues or have significant weight to lose. I do plan on eating more fatty fish but none of this low fat bullshit. Low fat triggers binge eating and is STUPID!!
Ben Bikman: Fats help you digest protein better. You get more out of your dietary protein if you eat with fats.
By the way, HS the low fat this and low fat that and low fat everywhere.
As a black man live in the city of London .I been weight training from 1978 till now it is the 2.11.2022 I am of to the gym for leg workout ,yes I still have my muscle .yes I am drug free ,yes win lots of those EFBB bodybuilding competition and become British champion bodybuilder.
Age 58 I still train heavy still people ask me you look so young .yes but I do weight training.
Ps stop eating carbohydrate it make you fat.i did my own research on my self trust me all carbohydrate make you fat and you fall a sleep real quick as you eat carbohydrate.
I love eating meat beef lamb chicken Turkey salmon cod eggs whey.protine eat as much as you want in one meal , I love protein foods .
I’m three minutes into this and I’m hooked!
Dr. Cywes is awesome.
I drink whole milk. I find it helps. I eat mostly eggs, ribeye, salmon, mussels, cheese, leafy veggies and only two toasts with my eggs.
Lo Carb toast? That is what I do.
@@terry2346 what do you use for bread?
❤ Great Podcast ❤
Thanks for this! Exactly what I'm looking for.
I subbed at "heart attack at 50". - great video, I just spent $300 on protein shake!
My diet has been largely animal based for a couple of years now. I do/did suffer from inflammation and stiffness, my one hip was literally on a weekly cycle. 3 to 4 days of pain and stiffness, a few days good - repeat. A couple of weeks ago I decided to go high fat. I haven't mastered cooking fat or enjoy it. I was eating most chewable trimmings and adding ghee or butter.
I started taking 1/4 cup Acropolis olive oil first thing in the morning. Then throughout the day I have 2-3 cups dilute decaf Marley coffee with a half stick of butter per emulsified cupful.
Almost within a day the inflammation improved drastically. Previously if I tried a chin up my elbows would scream. I just managed one yesterday with no pain. I just did a solo canoe trip for 3 days in rugged Temagami wilderness with close to 30 portages. I felt it in my hip but it resolved within a day.
All the research about health can drive one beneuks.
It really made me wonder about the mechanisms of damage but this sheds so much light on it for the laymen like myself.
Many of us have a long history of experimentation, supplements, diets, lifestyle habits etc.
I take frequent saunas, started 4-4-6-2 breathing in the morning and so on.
I always wondered, was it the gut bacteria, toxins, constipation, genetics, parasites, moon cycle???
Anyways, thanks for the info and look forward to more podcasts and the book.
Dr. Cywes if you're near Toronto again someday, drive 3 hours north and I will buy you a coffee and half a dozen donuts, ha ha haaa...
Interesting. I'm addicted to macadamia nutbutter (it's a fat). It just ticks all my boxes. So I try to get my required protein in daily, but fats is what makes me feel awesome and extremely happy!
This was a great talk. Lots of great info throughout the conversation. I have always known fat is important for health and weight management. Now I know more of the scientific reasons why. My motto has been Fat keeps you lean. Glad to hear support for my basic science background and what I have seen through observation of people's eating habits. And also my love for chicken wings and full fat milk is not an indulgence but a good eating habit. Hope to hear more info as the science evolves.
I love your motto!👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Paul Saladino has also been very fascinating lately. He clearly looks like a different person since the implementation of honey and fruit that he’s been pushing.
Doesn’t look as chiseled and lean and muscular as he once did . Also looks a little bit more bloated and bubble gut to me.
In my opinion, I don’t think that what he’s doing is all that optimal
Fruit and honey!!?? He thinks this is healthy? Wow!
@@dreamthemusicnow I mean, if it works for him then there is nothing wrong with it.
It’s just that his results most likely would not translate across a general population.
If I ate what he ate, I’d look like Gerard Depardieux!
And again, he looks different to me since he’s started the fruit and honey. He was much more muscular and chiseled previously
Your right he has changed. He does look bloated and he now looks older than his age.
@@stepheneverhardt4731 I actually have since implemented fruit and honey. I wanted to try it and not just bash it without just cause and evidence. Been doing since June 15.
I have to say I enjoy and I’m doing and feeling well on it. Have gotten leaner and more muscular looking and “bigger”. No real change in weight, just body comp.
Big impact on my sugars which I’ve been tracking. Morning fasting sugars and postprandial sugars have all significantly trended downward.
Going to stick with it for the time being.
@@keywestfan2503 hope it works well for you keep us posted and let us know what fruits you are eating.
300g steak is not 300g of protein. Good luck eating 300g of protein from meat in a single sitting, that's about 1.5 kilograms of meat.
I understand that the guest was going for an analogy, but it was a poorly crafted one in my opinion. Still, I'm looking forward to that book he mentioned; he's probably more eloquent in written format.
This explains why, if I'm listening to my body, I always go for the ribeye, the fatty bacon/pork belly, chicken leg and thigh with all the skin on it - or better DUCK - lamb, salmon...all that meat with the fat, lol. SOOOO good!
Thank you for this! It's been awesome and I will have to listen again with that note pad you mentioned at the beginning 😅
Wow … excellent, thanks 👍🏻
Quick comment to help the algorithm, really interesting, yet another level of understanding.
Nice vid. Good info here.
At the approx 1:00 mark and discussing the Red blood cell(Hemoglobin) lifespan. It is presumed a normal red blood cell lives approx 120 days give or take depending on many variables. However the HbA1C test tests at the approx 90 day mark. So wouldn't that mean the lifespan of Hemoglobin should not be an issue?
You can get a lower HbA1C number by simply donating blood prior to a blood test.
Like a major bodybuilding life hack! Thank you!
I'm a type 1 diabetic and take lantus and novolog at 6am...the novolog is a sliding scale but the lantus is always 6 units am and 5 at 8pm. I jog at 8am and other mornings I will do another form of cardio...I'm assuming from what Dr Cywes quoted on exercising on an empty stomach(which I do, but I still have to take my insulin) that it's best because insulin is low allowing fat burn...so in my case I'm guessing my fat burning is low or none at all due to my insulin that I take at 6am??
basal LA insulin still allows fat burning. SA insulin typically does not. check ur BG and ketones
@@DrCywesCarbAddictionDoc thank you.
who will publish the textbook?
Dr. Cywes will put info out on his social media when it's getting published.
how much sugar/milk etc, and how often.. in order to adequately spike insulin/glp sufficiently?
great vid man!
With regards to crossing the protein threshold, how does one determine what that threshold is in the first place?
I wrote this question before watching the vid in entirety. You addressed it so ignore it.
From what I understand, collagen drinks don't provide all the amino acids. So does that mean the body cannot utilize it properly at the time of ingestion?
If the missing amino acids are provided LATER that day through eating a steak, for example, do those combine with the collagen to make it all usable?
I went on a Keto journey and after about a year I was doing carnivore. What do you think about adding avocado to carnivore? I do think my fat/protein ratio has tilted too far to protein. I do still like chicken, and I feel like adding the avocado brings its ratio back to where we need. Thoughts?
Keep your fats high. The oxalates in avo will do you no good at all.
be your own experiment.... let us know what happens! 👍🏽👍🏽
@@Kamaria0045 Helps my satiety a lot!
I can tell when walking on the treadmill, that about 13-15 minutes in, my body seems to really kick in at that point, and it feels like I could walk forever. Is that when I'm switching over to burning fat?
You're always burning fat to a degree. You're feeling the complete transition from your CNS and hormones balancing against your activity level.
@@coach.bronson gotcha!
@@coach.bronson I've been in ketosis for about 2 months and wow can I tell a difference in my energy level. I'm 57 feeling 25. Lost@38 lbs so far. It feels good that I've learned how to work the system, but I almost fell guilty, watching folks my age and younger, walking around looking and feeling so tired. I try to tell people what I've learned, but carbs have such a hold on them. It's like looking at drug addicts, not willing to give it up. It's sad really.
Thanks for the reply.
Where I need clarity. I am older and need to lose weight. I have metabolic syndrome, high blood pressure meds and thyroid. I too gained on carnivore or plateaued. I got the impression from the talk that if you are insulin resistant, you might need a little carb to get the insulin up to improve. Was I right? That may be the key.
Outstanding!
Based on this it seems a 2MAD approach would be much better than OMAD especially for bodybuilding
agreed. that's what I see work most often
@@coach.bronson good to know, I was on a 2MAD schedule until recently when I switched to OMAD, based on this information I will swap back.
I assume that 80-100g protein from steak in one sitting is under whatever threshold we need to stay under with 6 hours between meals (Alan Aragon himself has come out and said that his 20g of protein max for MPS study isn't valid in the real world)
I want the textbook! Where can we get it?
It's not out yet....
This video is outstanding. It helps to be familiar with some University Biology.
He and Bart Kay need to discuss eating one large meal vs multiple meals.
Again it's back to the body over the mind. Win hoff said it. You train your body to tell your brain, it's ok i got it.
Your brain said, it's lunch time, fire up the hunger hormones. Or your brain says, the doc said drink more water. Not always true either. Fasting is a mental exerciese for sure. Your body eventualy says, i got it. I was metabolialy broken before 6 months ago. I couldn't go 3 hours without food. I'd get super moody. Now it's much easier and comfortable to not eat for a day. OMAD high fat, done, just try it. These guys are spot on.
Mental gymnastics. or body gymnastics. Cold showers do lots of interesting things. Or hormesis. Very good talk
Key for keto this time around is use of monosaturated fats…many have snps that mutate desaturate enzymes to metabolize saturated fats. We started eating grass fed beef sausage to organic primal mayo (thx costco) that have high monosaturated fats..coupled with vegs like artichoke heart to heart of palms low-carb noodles..has finally let us shift to keto within a week. Healthy keto like this is key..don’t assume everyone can desaturate saturated fats..and to also minimize polysaturated fats that easily oxidize.
Quick question. I’ve been told we could be getting low potassium being carnivore. Is it a good idea to supplement?
I do but everyone's different you should experiment and see if supplementation makes you feel any different
"There's no storage in the body for protein" What about the splanchnic bed?
But I do believe an adult lion is trying to put on as much usable muscle as possible. They do this by eating lots of meat not drinking milk.
Thank you for the promise of a "recap".......please help us common ordinary humans out here......and please when you mean something like lepten....call it that, not numbers and letters and expect us to make sense of it!
@59 I’m confused DRINK MILK or DON’T Drink MILK.
can someone Please Help me Understand. Ty
Totally up to you. That's the main point of the conversation. What are your goals? If you drink milk, does it help you get there or not. Be your own experiment. Milk can be great for someone trying to build a lot of muscle.
Thank you.
The problem with low carb/keto and carnivore is they control blood sugar and A1C very well, at least for a few years. But the large protein content causes huge spikes in insulin. Protein spikes insulin much higher than carbs. And it is insulin after all that causes all kinds of health problems including heart disease.
