I can remember life before plastic wrapping. Butchers would cut meat to your order, then wrap it in paper. Grocery items came in tins, bottles, cardboard, and waxed or plain paper. Water bags were made from jute and hung in the shade. Cooking oils non-existent, we used butter or rendered animal fat for home cooking. Only fish and chip shops used oil, and families only had such a meal maximum once a week.
In the us back in the day. every thing was lard or tallow fried. So sad most places don't do that anymore. Some do still but it's super rare. Allegedly Popeyes chicken uses tallow? I do at home if i have it. If not, i don't fry anything. Ghee is very good for things like that too.
Problem with lard or tallow to fry your food commercially nowadays is partially the higher cost but more so the mainstream conditioning that it’s unhealthy which makes it harder to sell.
@11:02 *The real problem with BMI is that it was never supposed to be used on individuals: it's a population metric, and nothing else. Beyond that, it doesn't differentiate between fat weight and muscle weight.* For example, my BMI is 31.2 "obese," but the US Navy Body Fat Calculator says I'm "fit" -- with an estimated body fat of 14% (of 238 lbs [thus, lean mass of 205 lbs]). As the CDC's website states, "BMI is a screening measure and is not intended to diagnose disease or illness."
I went fully carnivore. Within one month my snoring stopped and my sleep apnea completely resolved. I also trained 3 times a week and did cardio twice. These were just two of a long list of things that changed for me. Highly recommend.
Same here. 7 months ago I started meat, egg only carnivore diet and my severe sleep apnea stopped in a month. I was also (after the following 2 weeks) able to wean myself of antidepressants which I had tried unsuccessfully 4 times before. Mental health is so good now. No more meds at all after 6 weeks with all metabolic disorders gone. Was 154kg, now 104kg. HbA1c was 8.7 two years ago when I weighed less, now 5.4 Photos of me before and now are shocking to me. Still learning, particularly about: Sleep (circadian rhythm) Sprinting Seed oils (vegetable oils) Linoleic acid. Love this Dr and his content. Keep it coming Dr;)
Hi, did you get rid of the sleep apnea bcs you were obese or overweighted? Bcs i am thin and have sleep apnea. I feel pain in my throat, like it was inflammated. I have pain in my tonsills too, but my doctor said that my tosills werent big enough to cause sleep apnea. But i feel like my throat is inflammated .. thank you
The carnivore-eating lifestyle completely alleviated hemorrhoids for me in about eight weeks because of fewer per week and smaller bowel movements -- this is an incredible and unexpected benefit for me. I learned a lot about body fat in this talk by the doctor!
Thanks SO much. I was lean 55 yrs, then began packing on visceral fat. Because I'm still mostly lean all my Dr is concerned about is LDL. I knew it was a sign my health was slipping. Thanks again.
Most excellent! And a bonus - great to hear Dr. Anthony Chafee (at the end of the video) explain why plant seeds/oil omega 3 are not bioavailable for our good use. As always, thank you Dr. C for giving my life back to me!
Are you kidding! Concise? It took him 18 minutes to get to the solutions to the problem. We first had to sit through 18 minutes of visceral fat MRIs 😑. Just sayin’.
These presentations are just fantastic it's not about the doctor saying energy in energy out very informative cheers to all that contribute to these seminars
This redefining concept of metabolic function as a driver of optimal health should be taught in elementary school. This is a great talk! It’s has great points that’ll open the door for sure. However, metabolic function is very nuanced as are the causes. It’s such a new concept it will be difficult to find providers that understand. It wasn’t until removal of an adrenal that my metabolism started to fully reset. (I can feel the visceral fat melting away.) Do your own homework. The tell will be how the provider answers your informed questions.
I've been following the Carnivore diet for about 4 years now, and the RAW Carnivore diet for the last 3 years, that is, I eat raw meat and raw offal in 99 percent of the cases: for example, raw liver (that natural multivitamin!), raw brain marrow, raw bone marrow, raw kidney, etc., and I drink even fresh blood if I can, because it's a "natural energy drink"! I'm a 58-year-old man, but since then I feel like I've "went back in time", i.e. like I'm 30 years old again! Since I switched to this diet (lifestyle... because I want to follow this for as long as I live...), my deep depression has gone (and it was so severe that I constantly contemplated suicide, i.e. this diet probably saved my life!) , I lost about 15 kg, since then my skin doesn't itch, my back doesn't hurt, my bursts of fury are gone, my dreams are more beautiful when I sleep, and in general, my energy skyrocketed and my zest for life has returned! So, as I mentioned it above, I almost always eat raw meat, mostly lamb or cow. Especially the fattier bites from raw meat. I don't use any spices. No salt either. I use (sea) salt only when I very rarely eat cooked meat, this is maybe once a month, not more often, then I cook a whole pig's head, I like it very much. I don't eat anything from the plant kingdom at all, except that sometimes I drink lemon juice, unsweetened, but I also squeeze it myself from fresh lemons, and I regularly drink apple cider vinegar. I also eat eggs, partly raw, partly as fried eggs (frying it in lard or tallow, not in plant or seed oils!). I don't consume carbohydrates at all. BUT I DON'T EVEN WANT TO. I don't crave carbohydrates, sugary food-like creations, artifical food-like concoctions, oversweetened industrial craps, I don't have to resist the cravings with any "will power", because I don't have any cravings for them at all! I love this diet so much that I even wrote a book about it, although not in English, but in my native language, Hungarian. Although it is science fiction, the nutritional principles described in it are correct from the point of view of the carnivore diet. The essence of the story, in short, is that vegans have a planet, it's called Vegania, and a young man who follows the same raw carnivore diet that I follow goes there... everything is set for conflict! The raw English translation of the book is ready, but someone who is a native English speaker should proofread it... Anyway, ever since I changed my eating habits, my slogan has been: "If man-made: DO NOT EAT!" Since then, my hobby is bushcrafting, in general, I have switched to an extreme minimalist lifestyle, I hardly have more stuff than can fit in a large military backpack, on the other hand, I feel much FREER and I am much HAPPIER in every way!
Wow! I would bet Kerry from Homestead How would be interested in interviewing you. He's a carnivore and had so many health improvements. He eats mainly cook steak and also fasts.
Great that eating raw meat is working for you. Certainly, the vitamins in liver will all be preserved if eaten raw. But something to consider: It has only recently been discovered that our pre-human ancestor hominins were already using fire to cook food - which was mostly meat (dating to around 570k years ago so far). If we compare our jawbones and teeth to carnivores and herbivores, they are rather strange because they don't fit either category, not even like omnivores. The reason becomes obvious now that we know humans have always cooked their food: our teeth and jaws are unique because we are the only species to cook our food. In other words, being able to cook was an integral part of becoming human. We don't need big jaw muscles, allowing the skull to expand and brain size with it.
I don’t think the doctor is telling us all, but for people who have high risks to consider an MRI. He has already shown MRI images of different individuals in his presentation what types of fat look like on the inside and at different levels/planes. All the orange figures already give us an idea what and where we have these fats. Great presentation. Thank you ❤
Great talk. Shawn advocates for sprinting and i concur. I was running for 8 months and started fattening up in the guts. I could feel it. If you can't suck your stomach in, it maybe a sign. I stopped running. and just did sprinting on occasion. Very different. Mind you, the long runs were nose only, low intensity, but not low enough maybe? Great talk
Thank you. That's the first time I've heard, or at least understood, artificial lights make us produce cortisol. I knew it affected the sleep cycle but didn't understand why. I sometimes get cortisol spikes during the night (I'm past menopause but it feels like a hot flash/flush out of nowhere) so I'm going to start wearing my blue light blocking glasses (already had them for work but will now use them at home). Very interesting and great to have the scans to see the differences. I was astounded when you said all those in the group had the same BMI.
I strongly suspect circadian dysfunction is the initiating event in deposition of visceral fat, starting with leptin resistance. If you're interested in this check out my channel and podcast (Jack Kruse series and recent interviews) where we explore these ideas in depth. Cheers!
15:26 With the number of people on statins, is this why so many had low cholesterol? It seems like statins are worse than useless. I’ll have to look at that study to see if statins are mentioned.
MRI is great but not within the means of most people so ... Too many of these talks are aimed at the educated wealthy when folks with poor education and super tight budgets have the greatest need.
Good that visceral fat is being addressed in this setting. Out of season fruit as a driver of visceral adiposity? I'd like to see some solid scientific evidence for that.
Would it be a correct list in order of effectiveness to gauge visceral fat: 1. MRI scans - difficult to procure, usually not covered by medical insurance 2. DEXA scan - gives ratio proportion, good approximation 3. Physical circumference and other measures - least effective, yet workable if none of above is possible How accurate are the Body Composition Weighing scales that employ Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) Method of measurement? There are two types, regular 2-point system and the presumable more advanced 4-point system.
In this talk the presenter discussed "seed oils" and linoleic acid. In all the research I've seen on the deleterious effects of seed oils, none have studied non-seed oil linoleic acid. (If you know of any please share the link). We do not know if it's linoleic acid itself or if it's just the seed oil. We may be erroneously conflating the two. Great presentation of a very important topic. Thank you.
Great presentation that was to the point without a lot of fluff. For those of us living in countries where obtaining an MRI for visceral fat measurement purposes would be out of pocket, it appears that ultrasound could be a more cost-effective option. What are your thoughts?
Ketones as an indicator someone has entered nutritional ketosis is a great start, but simply gives a snapshot in time of your metabolic function. Shrinking wasit:height ratio is the easiest and cheapest approximator of losing visceral fat and re-claiming metabolic health.
What about type 2 diabetics. They can fast 14 hours overnight, test B.G. and get the dawn effect having a B.G. of 7 or more. Their evening test 2 hours after a meal was 6.2. and they had nothing more to eat, no soft drinks, just water. Will the liver ever stop going into a panic when B,S. drops?
We don't all get home to cook our food in the sunny hours of the day and we don't all have to work our arses off to lose weight. WE just have to eat properly.
Great talk Max. I quickly checked all my blood work and found all markers to be fine including fasting insulin. Phew! So as a fit 65 year old women is the carnivore diet still the most optimal? And I assume we are getting out in the sum without sun cream? Off now for a walk in nature!
Hi Vicky great work. Check out my recent podcast with Sarah Kleiner - we discuss the nuances of dietary approaches for those who have achieved good metabolic health.
You mentioned in the video that Omega 3 EPA/DHA only occur in animal sources. But there are also vegan sources like algae that contain large quantities of Omega 3 EPA/DHA. And that is actually where the fish get it from by eating it. Do you agree?
Where can I go to get an MRI scan of my visceral and subcutaneous fat? How much does it cost?
Год назад
Thanks, Dr Gulhane, great presentation and talk. I checked my area for MRI scans, and while they are costly and widely available, they offer scans for different purposes. Usually, they do upper or lower abdomen, knees, etc. How do I instruct the doctor (or ask for a package) that covers the kind of images of the "belly" and thighs for detection of visceral fat to minimize costs (I don't want to do a full body scan just for that)?
Pericardial fat and stress cause palpitations in me. It happens from time to time and it's an indicator of when it's building up. Fasting and working out helps. I've been to a doc about it and they said, meh your fine. Premature heart bead. But they had no MRI or ct scan to confirm this. I might have to order my own scan.
Being able to jam your hand under your right rib is a good sign your liver fat and visceral fat isn't enormous. But fine tuning it can be a bit tricky. One thing we do and it seems to help is a dewormer. Once in a while. or general colonic/guts blow out. Gently tho. If you feel sluggish in the guts, keep trying various things. Your stomach should feel just about nothing after a meal. As if you didn't eat. If it bloats or puffs or gas. You may not be eating what works for you. Fasting is a big help to reset. I'm not a dr. Keep on this channel and many other good ones. Dr sean is a visceral fat attacker too.
when seed oils entered our diet, how did that change the fat people gained on a molecular level? surely, gaining weight from overeating a low linoleic acid diet... is severly different than gaining weight from highly processed seed oils, the body has no evolutionary idea what it is. (maybe this guy answers this in the video, i dont know.)
No mention of PFAS? ('Forever chemicals"). People need to move away from non-stick pans and also be aware that most water filters do not control PFAS chemicals.
There should be endocrine disruption before excess fat stores show up. I think we should be looking at insulin and other hormones first. Insulin is a super cheap test.
you partially right, only. Certainly partially, and certainly right. What is missing though, is that it is coming from the head. or better, the mind. The mindset is first wrong. The body just follows
This is an important issue for people that need a carnivore hack. I have been without cheating carnivorous for over 3 years... Four years January but there were some cheats in the last year... I still have a 41-in waist. I'm active at the gym a couple times a week, I do yoga a couple times a week, and I have three working line dogs that I take out on hikes on the weekend. It's not activity and it's not my diet. When I had a blood panel done I have significantly high levels of cortisol. I've yet to hear anybody talk about specific ways I can lower my cortisol. I listen to all the low carb down under... Paul Mason did address it with somebody that had a tumor. I do not. My sleep is good overall. So why am I an outlier?
Calorie counting vs cutting seed oils and sugar flour carbs ... you can be skinny and sick, tho more likely skinny fat with a loss of muscle Excess viscersl fat contributes to insulin resistance, but eating carbs directly tells your body to store fat and makes u hungry , whereas eating protein and fat does not give the hormone signal and instead satiates once your body has enough nutrition from it.
Excessive carbs cause hepatic fat to increase. If this is one way only, increasing only, then you get hepatic insulin resistance. And hepatic insulin resistance is where your metabolic health goes down. Other visceral fat follows. Vice versa, you have to get rid of this visceral fat in the liver to improve your health.
Great point. In many ways the presence of visceral fat is a sign that the system is malfunctioning, and correcting the bioenergetics at a mitochondrial level (big emphasis on circadian biology) removes visceral fat. At the same time, visceral fat is metabolically active, secreting pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic factors. Quite a chicken and egg problem!
Great content, I’ve been doing carnivore and fasting for the past month, but gosh I got sick of just meat, I don’t know how people stick to it. I’ve adopted some sauerkraut now and leafy salad and vegetables. The desire to binge is still there though, it was a birthday in the family this weekend and I caved to some baking. I’ll be fasting for 48 hrs at the start of the week and then doing 20/4. Weekends are my weak point. I’d love to get an MRI, but in New Zealand it’s hard to get one, I have insurance but I’m not sure that a specialist would approve an MRI to check my visceral fat or that my insurance company would pay. Does anyone know how to get around it? Oh just heard the end bit🥴
If you eliminate seed oils (including foods with seed oils as an ingredient) from your diet, you should be less prone to sunburn. Tucker Goodrich & many others have experienced this.
Please back up your treatment strategies with evidence. Seed oils lumped with carbs? Sunlight to decrease visceral fat? Sprinting to lower v.f.? Plastics increase v.f.?Where is the evidence?
Hi Yvonne light is a critical part of optimal circadian health, including UV light when we have built up a healthy tolerance (solar callus). Check out some of my recent videos on my channel where I discuss this.
Some time ago we were told kids are getting to puberty sooner because of hormones in foods. Maybe. We understand it a bit more now and it's the whole picture. Many things are impacting it. Our kids are beanpole because of semi-proper diet. Never soda, no dye, reduced sugar, super high animal fats. Fruit, veg and red meat. Fat loaded treats, not candy.
I agree with all your points, but, showing an aboriginal person in the picture did make me smile. Maybe you should have shown a picture of a healthy pommy before processed food became a problem in most of the first world.
Water bottles (PET) do not contain BPA! in fact most plastics don't. And even then the case that it leaks into water in relevant amounts was never really made. Many so called endocrine disruptor are about 1-100 million times weaker than estrogen which is another way of saying they are for all intends and purposes inactive.
I start eat carbs because nutritional Helper told me i eat not enough And not eating primáry carbs , So i started to eat them ať most, i got extra visceral to max and sub fat too, Now i Have extra fat on places where i never had fat, fiber makes problém with stomach And makes hemeroids, So im fat again And i dont want do anything just lean on bed all time , tired even with carbs im tired, lots od stimulants too im Taking.
Whole grains + chicken or tuna + protein And Some junk food, Always when i Taste carbohydrates i Have feel from Braun stop eating But on low carbs i Have probléms too
If you're eating a carnivore diet and in your seventies I really don't think you should have to be sprinting down the road every day. You have a very high chance of breaking your ankle.
Dr lustig would say, "That obese person just needs to eat less move more, no he doesn't" He need to eat for fat burning, not fat storing. Even better just don't eat. Work into it, go slow then hard later on.
Work out like a lion - got it! (Heavy lifting?) And don't live north of the arctic circle, not enough sunlight. You will die. This can't possibly be science... /Swedish Carnivore, 63yo
Lifestyle is an awful term for a new approach. It was already taken by industry years ago. There was never anything wrong with the word diet. It doesn't necessarily mean low-fat or calorie restriction. Lifestyle, on the other hand, has come to mean willpower, veganism, and eat-less, move-more (high-carb calorie restriction and cardio). A better word would be deprogramming. People simply need to know humans don't need to eat plants, and we are much happier and healthier when we don't.

Oh, yes! The good, old times!
nitrocellulose coated cellophane would also work.
Fish and chips are traditionally cooked in beef dripping (at least in the UK) it's the best way!

Nice. You would have reduced ectopic fat deposits in your tongue and upper airway that were contributing to airway obstruction. Congratulations!
Keep it up for years is also highly recommended.
Same here. 7 months ago I started meat, egg only carnivore diet and my severe sleep apnea stopped in a month. I was also (after the following 2 weeks) able to wean myself of antidepressants which I had tried unsuccessfully 4 times before.
Mental health is so good now.
No more meds at all after 6 weeks with all metabolic disorders gone.
Was 154kg, now 104kg.
HbA1c was 8.7 two years ago when I weighed less, now 5.4
Photos of me before and now are shocking to me.
Still learning, particularly about:
Sleep (circadian rhythm)
Sprinting
Seed oils (vegetable oils)
Linoleic acid.
Love this Dr and his content.
Keep it coming Dr;)
Hi, did you get rid of the sleep apnea bcs you were obese or overweighted? Bcs i am thin and have sleep apnea. I feel pain in my throat, like it was inflammated. I have pain in my tonsills too, but my doctor said that my tosills werent big enough to cause sleep apnea. But i feel like my throat is inflammated .. thank you
I first heard of this topic from Sean O'Mara, MD. I am so glad other people are bringing his data to people in different countries.
@DrSeanOMara's work was the inspiration for this talk!
The carnivore-eating lifestyle completely alleviated hemorrhoids for me in about eight weeks because of fewer per week and smaller bowel movements -- this is an incredible and unexpected benefit for me.

precise and to the point without much jargon. Thank you Dr Guhane!
I second this too
Thanks for watching :)
Simple, succinct, up to date and well presented! Good reference for normies! Thanks!
Normies.... sigh
Thanks very much!

I'm definitely watching too many carnivore videos when I can tell it's Dr chaffees voice at the end lol
Ha ha!
I had a similar experience when Dave Feldman asked a question at the end of a keto/vegan debate.
Great presentaion, clear and very imformative. Greetings from Poland.

#1 Driver of visceral fat - late-stage capitalism

He has already shown MRI images of different individuals in his presentation what types of fat look like on the inside and at different levels/planes. All the orange figures already give us an idea what and where we have these fats. Great presentation. Thank you ❤
Excellent compilation of great information!
You can get meat wrapped in paper before it's wrapped in plastic they do that at Frankie's free range meats
The paper is coated with plastics or other waterproof substances on one side
Came here to say this^
Well presented!
Great talk. Shawn advocates for sprinting and i concur. I was running for 8 months and started fattening up in the guts. I could feel it. If you can't suck your stomach in, it maybe a sign. I stopped running. and just did sprinting on occasion. Very different. Mind you, the long runs were nose only, low intensity, but not low enough maybe?
Great talk
Thank you. That's the first time I've heard, or at least understood, artificial lights make us produce cortisol. I knew it affected the sleep cycle but didn't understand why.

MRI is great but not within the means of most people so ... Too many of these talks are aimed at the educated wealthy when folks with poor education and super tight budgets have the greatest need.
I save money on keto. High fat and protein diet fills my stomach and keeps me filled. I end up spending less.
500 dollars is within the means of most people.
If they give up cigarettes, alcohol, sodas, and snacks. The vices are quite expensive.
I got a heart scan done for $80
Out of pocket
MRI is great but not necessary. Plenty of progress possible without that. If not financially viable that does not stop healthy lifestyle.
Good that visceral fat is being addressed in this setting. Out of season fruit as a driver of visceral adiposity? I'd like to see some solid scientific evidence for that.
Thank you for sharing this important information with us
Thanks for watching :)

3. Physical circumference and other measures - least effective, yet workable if none of above is possible
How accurate are the Body Composition Weighing scales that employ Bioelectrical Impedance (BI) Method of measurement? There are two types, regular 2-point system and the presumable more advanced 4-point system.
Nice presenration ans slides, Welle explained
In this talk the presenter discussed "seed oils" and linoleic acid. In all the research I've seen on the deleterious effects of seed oils, none have studied non-seed oil linoleic acid. (If you know of any please share the link). We do not know if it's linoleic acid itself or if it's just the seed oil. We may be erroneously conflating the two. Great presentation of a very important topic. Thank you.
Was it that linoleic acid is easily oxidized, and that the linoleic acid in seed oils gets oxidized in processing before it gets to us?
Interesting
Great presentation that was to the point without a lot of fluff. For those of us living in countries where obtaining an MRI for visceral fat measurement purposes would be out of pocket, it appears that ultrasound could be a more cost-effective option. What are your thoughts?
What about testing ketone levels as an indication of visceral fat and health? Sardines are great source of O3s. Excellent presentation! Thanks!
Ketones as an indicator someone has entered nutritional ketosis is a great start, but simply gives a snapshot in time of your metabolic function. Shrinking wasit:height ratio is the easiest and cheapest approximator of losing visceral fat and re-claiming metabolic health.
Excellent! Thank You!
Sean O Mara Aussie version 👍🏼
We should have a Sean OMara on each continent.
Dr Sean OMara research has changed my body!!!!
He was the first to put this together.
What about type 2 diabetics. They can fast 14 hours overnight, test B.G. and get the dawn effect having a B.G. of 7 or more. Their evening test 2 hours after a meal was 6.2. and they had nothing more to eat, no soft drinks, just water. Will the liver ever stop going into a panic when B,S. drops?
Nice talk, but it doesn’t address whether visceral fat is just a correlation of metabolic disorder, or if it is causative.
Very informative 👋
We don't all get home to cook our food in the sunny hours of the day and we don't all have to work our arses off to lose weight. WE just have to eat properly.
Inspirational and informative. Thanks.
Excellent presentation!
Simple for everyone to understand.
Thanks :)
Really terrific overview of the 'new science' of obesity. Thank you Dr. Gulhane. Great job.
Great talk Max. I quickly checked all my blood work and found all markers to be fine including fasting insulin. Phew! So as a fit 65 year old women is the carnivore diet still the most optimal? And I assume we are getting out in the sum without sun cream? Off now for a walk in nature!
Hi Vicky great work. Check out my recent podcast with Sarah Kleiner - we discuss the nuances of dietary approaches for those who have achieved good metabolic health.
Has there been any study of CAD patients being admitted to hospital regarding their visceral fat? MRI done on admission?
Excellent
You mentioned in the video that Omega 3 EPA/DHA only occur in animal sources. But there are also vegan sources like algae that contain large quantities of Omega 3 EPA/DHA. And that is actually where the fish get it from by eating it. Do you agree?
There is probably a downside to consuming algae that is yet to be discovered.
Fascinating talk. Thanks
Thanks Steve
“Eliminate toxins… Filter water. Avoid plastic contact with food” Aren’t all water filtering systems made from plastic?
Excellent! Thanks.
This is outstanding.
Where can I go to get an MRI scan of my visceral and subcutaneous fat? How much does it cost?
Thanks, Dr Gulhane, great presentation and talk. I checked my area for MRI scans, and while they are costly and widely available, they offer scans for different purposes. Usually, they do upper or lower abdomen, knees, etc. How do I instruct the doctor (or ask for a package) that covers the kind of images of the "belly" and thighs for detection of visceral fat to minimize costs (I don't want to do a full body scan just for that)?
Pericardial fat and stress cause palpitations in me. It happens from time to time and it's an indicator of when it's building up. Fasting and working out helps. I've been to a doc about it and they said, meh your fine. Premature heart bead. But they had no MRI or ct scan to confirm this. I might have to order my own scan.
Excellent!
Being able to jam your hand under your right rib is a good sign your liver fat and visceral fat isn't enormous. But fine tuning it can be a bit tricky. One thing we do and it seems to help is a dewormer. Once in a while. or general colonic/guts blow out. Gently tho. If you feel sluggish in the guts, keep trying various things. Your stomach should feel just about nothing after a meal. As if you didn't eat. If it bloats or puffs or gas. You may not be eating what works for you. Fasting is a big help to reset. I'm not a dr. Keep on this channel and many other good ones. Dr sean is a visceral fat attacker too.
Farmed fish is wide spread. It's more and more rare to see wild. But when i do and it's not 30$/lb i'll get it. Kids love it
when seed oils entered our diet, how did that change the fat people gained on a molecular level? surely, gaining weight from overeating a low linoleic acid diet... is severly different than gaining weight from highly processed seed oils, the body has no evolutionary idea what it is.
(maybe this guy answers this in the video, i dont know.)
No mention of PFAS? ('Forever chemicals"). People need to move away from non-stick pans and also be aware that most water filters do not control PFAS chemicals.
There should be endocrine disruption before excess fat stores show up. I think we should be looking at insulin and other hormones first. Insulin is a super cheap test.
Insulin, Cortisol and Vit D all play a huge role when it comes to fat storage.
In Ireland. Out meat is laying on top of paper inside the plastic container.
What kind of paper?
Fantastic presentation 👏
you partially right, only. Certainly partially, and certainly right.
What is missing though, is that it is coming from the head. or better, the mind. The mindset is first wrong. The body just follows
This is an important issue for people that need a carnivore hack. I have been without cheating carnivorous for over 3 years... Four years January but there were some cheats in the last year... I still have a 41-in waist. I'm active at the gym a couple times a week, I do yoga a couple times a week, and I have three working line dogs that I take out on hikes on the weekend. It's not activity and it's not my diet. When I had a blood panel done I have significantly high levels of cortisol. I've yet to hear anybody talk about specific ways I can lower my cortisol. I listen to all the low carb down under... Paul Mason did address it with somebody that had a tumor. I do not. My sleep is good overall. So why am I an outlier?
Stop carnivore and your cortisol will return to normal.
Thank you Doctor!
Thanks for watching
Does getting rid of visceral fat make you metabolically healthier or does getting metabolically healthier get rid of visceral fat? Chicken meet egg 🤔
Have to get healthier to loose the viseral fat.
Both but focus on metabolic health first and foremost.
Calorie counting vs cutting seed oils and sugar flour carbs ... you can be skinny and sick, tho more likely skinny fat with a loss of muscle
Excess viscersl fat contributes to insulin resistance, but eating carbs directly tells your body to store fat and makes u hungry , whereas eating protein and fat does not give the hormone signal and instead satiates once your body has enough nutrition from it.
Excessive carbs cause hepatic fat to increase. If this is one way only, increasing only, then you get hepatic insulin resistance. And hepatic insulin resistance is where your metabolic health goes down. Other visceral fat follows. Vice versa, you have to get rid of this visceral fat in the liver to improve your health.
Great point. In many ways the presence of visceral fat is a sign that the system is malfunctioning, and correcting the bioenergetics at a mitochondrial level (big emphasis on circadian biology) removes visceral fat. At the same time, visceral fat is metabolically active, secreting pro-inflammatory and pro-thrombotic factors. Quite a chicken and egg problem!
Great content, I’ve been doing carnivore and fasting for the past month, but gosh I got sick of just meat, I don’t know how people stick to it. I’ve adopted some sauerkraut now and leafy salad and vegetables. The desire to binge is still there though, it was a birthday in the family this weekend and I caved to some baking. I’ll be fasting for 48 hrs at the start of the week and then doing 20/4. Weekends are my weak point.
I’d love to get an MRI, but in New Zealand it’s hard to get one, I have insurance but I’m not sure that a specialist would approve an MRI to check my visceral fat or that my insurance company would pay. Does anyone know how to get around it? Oh just heard the end bit🥴
Will DEXA scans locate visceral fat?
Is this demonetized? If so, why?
Thank you!
Right on point!
We do have alternatives to plastic. a layer nitrocellulose coated cellophane and maybe paper.
If you sunburn super easy should you still only be out in the sun for a short period of time or is sunscreen fine to be out longer?
If you eliminate seed oils (including foods with seed oils as an ingredient) from your diet, you should be less prone to sunburn. Tucker Goodrich & many others have experienced this.
Please back up your treatment strategies with evidence. Seed oils lumped with carbs? Sunlight to decrease visceral fat? Sprinting to lower v.f.? Plastics increase v.f.?Where is the evidence?
Research Dr Sean o mara he is a well respected guy with plenty of relevant credentials and he says a lot.of the same
Is that exposure to light infrared or ultraviolet, what light is important. I ask because I'm made ill by UV light, SLE.
Near infrared light, probably. UV-B is (just) for vitamin D (may not be sufficient in winter).
Hi Yvonne light is a critical part of optimal circadian health, including UV light when we have built up a healthy tolerance (solar callus). Check out some of my recent videos on my channel where I discuss this.
9:09 "Dumpster fire inside the abdomen..." LMAO
I'm trying to rid my visceral fat. Does anyone know of an Australian web site that shows what fruit is in season or out of?
Try The Diggers Club. They have charts about what plants are in season.
Some time ago we were told kids are getting to puberty sooner because of hormones in foods. Maybe. We understand it a bit more now and it's the whole picture. Many things are impacting it. Our kids are beanpole because of semi-proper diet. Never soda, no dye, reduced sugar, super high animal fats. Fruit, veg and red meat. Fat loaded treats, not candy.
In general they will becomemore like eachother both, because of hormonal imbalance.
I agree with all your points, but, showing an aboriginal person in the picture did make me smile. Maybe you should have shown a picture of a healthy pommy before processed food became a problem in most of the first world.
Water bottles (PET) do not contain BPA! in fact most plastics don't. And even then the case that it leaks into water in relevant amounts was never really made. Many so called endocrine disruptor are about 1-100 million times weaker than estrogen which is another way of saying they are for all intends and purposes inactive.
thanks doc max n all low carb under team ❤❤❤❤👍👍
Great information. Obviously most if not all of this information came from Visceral fat pioneer Dr Sean O'mara. Should have credited him.
I start eat carbs because nutritional Helper told me i eat not enough And not eating primáry carbs , So i started to eat them ať most, i got extra visceral to max and sub fat too, Now i Have extra fat on places where i never had fat, fiber makes problém with stomach And makes hemeroids, So im fat again And i dont want do anything just lean on bed all time , tired even with carbs im tired, lots od stimulants too im Taking.
Whole grains + chicken or tuna + protein And Some junk food, Always when i Taste carbohydrates i Have feel from Braun stop eating But on low carbs i Have probléms too
Ditch your "nutritional helper" & go carnivore or mostly carnivore.
Try the carnivore diet as suggested here, it might help you
Well done Max ❤ great information. I just got it for the first time about meat wrapped in paper. I never asked the butcher why. 😀
Thanks!
My butcher has started using an inner wrapping of plastic. Like the Dr. said, though, cool and frozen helps mitigate.
This is great
If you're eating a carnivore diet and in your seventies I really don't think you should have to be sprinting down the road every day. You have a very high chance of breaking your ankle.
If you live in a place that doesn't suffer from traffic jams, you can do your "sprinting" on a bike.
Where are the calories deposited that come from non-fructose types of carbohydrates? e.g. potatoes
Dr lustig would say, "That obese person just needs to eat less move more, no he doesn't" He need to eat for fat burning, not fat storing. Even better just don't eat. Work into it, go slow then hard later on.
When I was a child meat was wrapped in brown paper?
Work out like a lion - got it! (Heavy lifting?) And don't live north of the arctic circle, not enough sunlight. You will die. This can't possibly be science... /Swedish Carnivore, 63yo
Lifestyle is an awful term for a new approach. It was already taken by industry years ago. There was never anything wrong with the word diet. It doesn't necessarily mean low-fat or calorie restriction. Lifestyle, on the other hand, has come to mean willpower, veganism, and eat-less, move-more (high-carb calorie restriction and cardio). A better word would be deprogramming. People simply need to know humans don't need to eat plants, and we are much happier and healthier when we don't.
No one was wearing sunscreen back then. EVER. maybe some mud at times.
