Glad you had the brilliant Professor Noakes, I do not know a man that has been more honest and taken more grief from big food and big pharma. Someone said he is a legend and that may be true but what I am most impressed with is he is a teacher at heart and as willing to learn as any Maverik I have seen...what a gift!
I've improved my insulin and metabolic health by implementing the Carnivore diet. Nearly three months into the carnivore diet with daily intermittent fasting, and the results are life-changing! Here are my numbers: * Weight: Down 30 pounds * Blood Pressure: Improved from 139/90 to 123/73 * Glucose Levels: Dropped from 123 mg/dL to 102 mg/dL * Ketones: Now at 3.0 mmol/L * GKI (Glucose Ketone Index): 1.8 This combination has truly transformed my health and my life!
@trappedcat3615 Same thing happened to me, but I had some issues. Too much energy, no patience and nervous ticks. Lots of emotional trauma that was dealt with was unable to stay hidden after getting rid of my vices, sugar and potatoes. The diet is definitely not for everyone, or maybe a timing thing. There are a ton of personal issues that the diet and am unable to go all in. The changes were way too dramatic for me.
Bacteria in the gut can feed on sugars in the intestinal lining. A high sugar diet can cause some bacteria to multiply, which can disrupt the balance of the gut microbiome. Bacteria in plaque use sugar as energy and produce acid as a waste product. This acid dissolves the enamel of teeth, causing cavities. Bacteria need energy to survive, and sugars are an efficient way for them to get it. For example, the bacteria that causes pneumonia, Streptococcus pneumoniae, uses the sugar raffinose. Most westerners worry about the damage sugar, in all its many forms, does to your teeth and oral biome and ignore the havoc it causes to your gut biome. Out of sight out of mind.
There's more to it than "carbs bad". The type of carbs & what comes alongside them make more of a difference than anything else. I my experience it's the grains & processed, concentrated carbs that cause the problem. The more processed the worse they are. I've found whole potatoes (including skin) are actually a solid calorie management food over the years, they're incredibly filling for the calorie content, presuming you don't smother them in butter like some. I've also found they don't really spike my blood sugar when eaten as a whole food. I feel the sugar high & brain fog when I eat sugary foods or mass market bread. I feel nothing but satisfied when I eat a few roasted red potatoes. I like to microplane about 1oz of Parmigiano Reggiano on top, a bit of thyme & garlic powder, & fresh black pepper. Quite tasty & a full meal is around 500-600 calories. Typically eat this around 5-6pm & feel no hunger the rest of the day. I've cut 30-40 lbs three different times in my life using roasted potatoes, cabbage + ham soup, shiratake noodles with a homemade beef & riced cauliflower meat sauce, & broccoli/carrot/snowpea chicken stirfry as my staples. Drop water weight in the first week, then a steady 1-2lb a week until I'm within 10lb of my goal weight of 180lb, then it's more like 1lb a week. I've done this roughly every 3 years after putting on weight from a few too many pizzas & ice creams adding up & it works great every time. Once I get in the rhythm & I don't even have any cravings. Sugar & flour definitely put on weight for me, but potatoes, sprouted quinoa, steel cut oats, carrots, berries, granny smith apples. Macrowise, these are mostly carbs & I lose weight while including them as a major part of my diet. Fiber, water, degree of processing, mineral & polyphenol content seem to make more of a difference than carbs or not. Cutting carbs definitely helps reduce insulin & water bloat, but again it seems to depend a lot more on the quality of the high carb food than whether or not it's a carb. I'm 100% certain I could lose fat without fasting, staying pretty satisfied, doing a 50/50 potatoes & meat diet. I bet it could be done on minimally processed ancient grains + a meat as well without too much trouble.
This just reminded me of something, I completely changed my habits by finding out book called Health and Beauty Mastery by Julian Bannett. It has been censored.
🔥 This content is spot-on! Dr. Tim Noakes breaks down the importance of diet so clearly. This feels like a wake-up call for everyone to rethink carbs and polyunsaturated fats. Who agrees that health starts with what we eat? 🥗💡💪
Wait did he say that the omega oil supplement has fermented? meaning spoiled? I thought fermented means a good product. For instance there's fermented cod liver being sold. May you please clarify this Thomas or perhaps make a video on whether fermentation is good or bad?
Interestingly my BG levels are higher after a low/zero carb meal in comparison to meal with +100g carbs from sourdough or rice and fruit, with protein obviously
Praise the Lord! I feel better eating everything and I really wish people would realise this. We all need self control though. Never felt energetic on keto, just that stable low energy which I feel when I am really hungry eating normally. Never measured my sugars, but something just wasn't right plus eating salts and powders like a maniac. So glad I got out of cult.
All fats must be pair with the right amino acids to get them into the mitrochondria.. whatever that mean - is meaningful and useful - fats and beef - lets get that going for healing. Glucose + (Insuline - another amino acid chain) call it peptide or whatever show us that this is the framework for life.
I'm in same boat as you Thomas. I'm athletic and follow a Mediterranean keto targeted diet. If Noakes actually does a study on your subtype, please include me in on it. I will fly wherever to get testing done and follow the protocol.
I have lost the message in this video so much as though that everyone says in the comments is so great. It feels like an all about Thomas video.hmmm ???
I dont know. Do I even want to watch this? Have heaps of protein, sure. Recently I am back on carbs and feeling great. Pasta. Like brain function. Mood. Sleep. All improved. Fish oil. Chlorella, ginseng, supps, Multi. Collagen. All of this. But yeah. Balanced. Carbs are cool. I have gone long oeriods without carbs. Like mknths ir years at a time. I feel HEAPS better with carbs included. Thats it. Thats all. It matters a lot. Energy kevles are up. Its all good. More activity. Better sleep. Its just direct experience rather than following youtibe guidelines. Although I have gotten a lot from Thomas and youtube as well.
I love my carbs so much they have dominated my diet! I'm 65 and look better at the beach than most guys half my age. Can run two miles in under 20 minutes and can bench press my weight for reps. Carbs!
Same. A sign of a healthy metabolism is being able to utilize glucose. It IS healthy to consume carbohydrates. I stay leaner and more muscular with carbs. Replacing my calories with fat literally makes me fatter while simultaneously causing weight loss. Not good. Too much of the wrong kind of fat is what causes diabetes/insulin resistance. Not carbs or sugar.
**Key Insights from "Dr. Tim Noakes: The FIRST Problem is Carbohydrates, Followed Closely by Polyunsaturated Fats" - Thomas DeLauer** ## Introduction The conversation between Thomas DeLauer and Dr. Tim Noakes delves into the impact of different dietary fats and carbohydrates on metabolic health. They explore how polyunsaturated fats (PUFAs), monounsaturated fats, and carbohydrate consumption affect glucose control, insulin sensitivity, and overall health. The dialogue emphasizes the role of dietary choices in addressing metabolic dysfunction and offers practical takeaways for individuals seeking to improve their health through diet. --- ## The Role of Fats in Metabolic Health Dr. Noakes emphasizes that dietary changes over the past decades, particularly in Western countries, have included a significant increase in polyunsaturated fats and a decrease in natural animal fats. He argues that this shift is as important as the rise in carbohydrate consumption when analyzing the causes of metabolic disorders. Despite this, research on the impact of PUFAs on insulin resistance is limited. Thomas DeLauer notes his personal experience with various fats: - He finds that monounsaturated fats, such as those from olive oil and macadamia nut oil, help improve his glucose control. - In contrast, high consumption of omega-6 fats from sources like almonds and other nuts negatively impacts his ability to manage carbohydrates. Dr. Noakes highlights the importance of personal experimentation in understanding how different fats affect glucose control. He considers Thomas DeLauer's experiences valuable case studies that can guide further research into the effects of dietary fats on metabolic health. ### Polyunsaturated vs. Monounsaturated Fats The conversation points out several distinctions: - **Polyunsaturated Fats (PUFAs)**: Found in many processed foods and vegetable oils, they have increased significantly in modern diets. Excessive intake of omega-6 fats is linked to inflammation and impaired glucose metabolism. - **Monounsaturated Fats**: Found in foods like olive oil, macadamia nuts, and avocados, these fats are more stable and seem to support better glucose control and cognitive function. DeLauer notes that a Mediterranean-style low-carb diet, rich in monounsaturated fats, has helped him manage his glucose levels and maintain cognitive performance. He contrasts this with his experiences of eating more saturated fats or omega-6-heavy foods, which negatively impacted his metabolic health. --- ## Coconut Oil and MCT Oil DeLauer shares his experience with coconut oil and medium-chain triglyceride (MCT) oil: - Coconut oil provided him with energy and improved athletic performance but negatively affected his glucose levels. - He responds particularly well to MCT oil (specifically C8 and C10 fatty acids), which he describes as providing a quick, significant energy boost without digestive discomfort. He used MCT oil during long runs for sustained energy. Dr. Noakes finds this information intriguing and plans to explore the impact of coconut oil on his own glucose control. --- ## Practical Takeaways for Improving Metabolic Health Dr. Noakes and DeLauer discuss actionable steps for people looking to improve their metabolic health: ### 1. Address Carbohydrate Addiction The first and most critical step is to reduce carbohydrate intake. Dr. Noakes emphasizes that many people struggle with sugar addiction, which leads to metabolic dysfunction. Eliminating refined carbohydrates and processed foods is essential to breaking this cycle. DeLauer shares his past struggle with sugar addiction, consuming up to 450 grams of carbs daily, including multiple energy drinks. He notes that reducing his carbohydrate intake was transformative for his health and well-being. ### 2. Focus on Real, Unprocessed Foods Both experts agree that the foundation of a healthy diet is real, whole foods. Ultra-processed foods, regardless of how much someone exercises, will impair health in the long run. Dr. Noakes advises: - Avoid ultra-processed foods. - Choose whole, unprocessed foods, whether following a Mediterranean diet or a more animal-based diet. ### 3. Prioritize Healthy Fats For individuals aiming to improve glucose control and metabolic health, prioritizing healthy fats is key: - **Monounsaturated Fats**: Incorporate olive oil, avocado, and macadamia nuts into your diet. - **Omega-3 Fatty Acids**: Aim to include more omega-3s from fish or supplements, though sourcing high-quality, non-oxidized omega-3 supplements can be challenging. ### 4. Tailor Your Diet to Your Individual Response Dr. Noakes highlights the importance of personal experimentation. Individuals should pay attention to how their bodies respond to different fats and adjust their diets accordingly. For some, coconut oil may improve energy and performance, while others may find better results with monounsaturated fats. --- ## The Link Between Diet and Long-Term Health Dr. Noakes stresses that focusing solely on athletic performance is not the right approach. Instead, the primary goal should be long-term health and longevity. Eating a diet that supports metabolic health will naturally enhance athletic performance over time. DeLauer adds that his focus is on achieving better glucose control and cognitive function while maintaining physical performance. He finds that a Mediterranean-style low-carb diet with added healthy fats provides the best balance for him. --- ## Conclusion The discussion between Thomas DeLauer and Dr. Tim Noakes sheds light on the significant impact of both carbohydrates and polyunsaturated fats on metabolic health. While reducing carbohydrates is essential for managing metabolic dysfunction, the type of fats consumed also plays a crucial role. Prioritizing monounsaturated fats and minimizing omega-6-rich polyunsaturated fats can improve glucose control, cognitive function, and overall health. Practical steps for improving metabolic health include addressing carbohydrate addiction, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods, prioritizing healthy fats, and tailoring dietary choices to individual responses. Ultimately, the key to long-term health lies in adopting a sustainable, nutrient-dense diet that supports both metabolic function and overall well-being.
Distinguish between men and women. Women wreck their hormones without carbs. I put on weight on carnivore and am finally losing it by going to high vegetable and legumes because the biome matters. Carnivore is good for starving infections but in the long term you starve your good bacteria
OMFG Thomas stop talking buzzwords... there isnt such a thing as low carb mediterranean diet, in reality mediterranian diet isnt one diet because mediterranean basin is enomous and include parts of three continents but if you really want to simplify the term it is by far a plant based diet with some meat inncluded as a ingredient and no one here eats the way you describe it. it is not MD just because you gulp olive oil...
Oh, look another seed oil and carb hater. Yawn. He talks about a sugar addiction, but what about a fat addiction? Would this guy be able to do something like the True North diet (no fat, no oils, no salt)? Imagine recommending coconut oil in light of its sad fat content. This channel flipflops so much.
I have read many books, I listened to many RUclips videos by many of the world's leading gurus and health experts but nothing came close to the hidden herbs by anette ray. I recommend everyone giving it a read.
