When people were duped into thinking margarine was healthier than real butter and sugar was good for you is where the western world turned completely up side down.
Margarine tastes awful, it's like plastic.
Nobody ever thought sugar was good , it been demonized forever
Yeah, people have literally been programed to eat like sh*t and most don't even realize it. "I gotta eat my 12 daily servings of grains"...crazy
Carbs are for the poor
You are being duped by watching RUclips videos lol
When people say you can't live without carbs and I just mentioned that I've been carb free for 15 months and not only I'm still alive but my health improved by a ton!
I bet you are constipated lol
Vitamin C is a carbohydrate. Do you not intake vitamin C?
@@sindrestokke79 technically there is carbs in eggs too
@@Tendertroll1 nope. classic misconception that we need fiber to poop.
@@sindrestokke79keto is just low carbs so you still consume carbs.
Like Dr Bright said "carbs are entertainment not nutrition".
I agree with you but it’s so hard when eating out. You still have to pay the same when you’ve said “no bun no fries etc” and I hate having to explain myself. I just prefer to eat at home. Thanks for your helpful advice
You shouldn't NEED to explain yourself, do you ask other WHY they are eating this or that? no, so why should you need to tell anyone why you don't eat certain foods. Eat what YOU want & enjoy it. Good luck.
@@malcytull I agree with you. I know I shouldn’t need to. I’m not always asked. Do you find yourself scanning the menu trying to find the best choice before you go?
After a lifetime of eating a lot of carbs, it's hard period, not just when eating out -- while I have cut WAY BACK, I find eating some carbs adds to my enjoyment of life
I just tell the waiter or waitress “I can’t have that” and mostly they assume that I’m allergic. But you can also say you are allergic too which is true really. They take a lot more care with your food at restaurants when there is an allergy as opposed to a diet. Just make sure you are specific on what you want. I ordered a steak once and it came marinated. I thought I was just going to get a plain steak. I had to send it back. Now I’ve learned to say just a plain steak no spices.
You pay more physically and health wise if you eat the bun and the fries.
I did not realize I was addicted to carbs and I did not realize how all those carbs were hurting my mental clarity and impacting my emotional health until I consistently kept my carbs at 20g net per day for about 3 months.
Suddenly, I no longer had the insane cravings I had had at first. But it took consistency, as in no cheat meals or days.
Carnivore 3 years, and I’ve seen significant improvement in my health - and I’m in my 70s - can’t believe how well I look and feel. Aging in reverse. ❤
Carnivore is the most appropriated diet for us . . . no doubt !
no ! u aint reversing shit .....keto and carnivore are fad trendy bullshit and most of RUclips proponents of this diet are QUITTING

Nobody believes me when I tell them carbs are non essential and completely not required in the human diet. I don’t even bother talking about food choices anymore. I just eat my steak in peace!
Now you can send them this video! :-)

@@DrDanMaggs what about your potassium and magnesium our ancestors didn’t have supplements
So you dont need carbs for hair growth??
I had a session with an ADA dietician who insisted I have at least 40 grams of carbs at every meal? apparently their advice is to sell more insulin.
Thanks, Dr Dan, for yet another great video that's detailed-pack..yet totally accessible...much appreciated. 👍
Wow, so many comments here sound like talking points from the BBC or ABC. If you're overweight, diabetic, insulin resistant or suffer from a myriad of other ailments, low carb eating will end much suffering for most. Keep up the good work Dr. Maggs.
How have I missed this video until today? I've been subscribed to you channel for years. This is the single most informative video about carbs on RUclips. Thank you, Dr Dan.
A brilliant video, very well explained, thank you Dr Dan. !!
Well done. I appreciate the way you broke things down. 👍
Clear and concise as always, thanks much Dr.Maggs. Cheers.
The best explanation I've heard yet! Brilliant, thank you Dr Dan Maggs 😊
Another great video Dr Maggs. Thank you again.
Well done - hopefully one or two more people will start to look into this harder - very clear
Clear, concise great vid 👍
We may not need them but we certainly WANT them!
Best explanation I’ve seen. Bookmarked as my go to video to explain this to others.
nothing I didnt know before...but elegant and comprehensive and a pleasure to listen to.
Thank you, Dr. Maggs. I absolutely agree with you.
Dear Dr Dan, if an athlete is doing low or no carb diets can we assume their glycogen stores are being replenished by gluconeogenisis of excess fats or proteins? I guess what Im trying to know is do keto athletes have more or less the same access to glycogen as a non-keto athlete and therefore so long as the high energy activity is over before the glycogen is depleted then they would perform similarly? For sure if the activity goes much longer the keto guy/gal will bonk and have to slow down without exogenous carb intake
Thanks Dr. Dan!
Excellent information as there is so much controversy on the subject. To eat carb or not to eat carbs that’s the question😊 love how you present your answer. 👍
Hello Dr. Maggs! Great channel, awesome contents, valuable information. I've been thru keto for a long long time, since 2018. I lost 89 pounds and regain an excellent health.
My fasting glucose was around 89 and HbA1c below 5.5. In my last blood results, my fasting glucose was 105 and HbA1c 5.5. My doctor said it is "glucose sparing" ou physiological insulin resistance.
Is this something to worry about? Would like to hear from you. Thanks
It always amuses me when it's said that plants contain toxins as a defence to being eaten, then show a clip of a creature that eats nothing other than plants.
Should I go all the way keto (
If I am eating very low-carb, but too much protein to go into ketosis, I definitely feel the need to eat some carbs a few times a week.
Fabulous vid and straight to the point..... I fully agree with everything he said.
You need to do better research.
Ha! Before I even watch the rest of your video I'm going to copy a comment I just posted on a Ken Berry interview video. 👉 Awesome! Very interesting. But guess what, all I REALLY need to know, and all other human beings need to know, is that we don't want or need to ingest carbohydrates. Ya, sure, "stay hydrated", but carbs are key. Love you guys! Eat Meat Save The Planet. 💪💖 / 💖🙏💖 / 💪🌎 (An interview with Richard Johnson, MD)
When I follow this way of eating, I genuinely do feel fitter and healthier and in all honesty happier!and I do loose weight quite quickly, I don’t necessarily crave sweet things after the initial first few days,but I do tend to mourn for them if that makes sense? The only concern/side effect I have is that I definitely do suffer from hair loss,which Is a worry for someone of my age, it’s at this stage that I do start eating carbs once again…
I know what you mean by mourning carbs. I just completed 30 days of strict carnivore and I feel like it completely reset my body. I tried a cookie on day 31 because I was curious if it would trigger my cravings and set me back. I was very nervous! Funny enough, I thought the cookie was so painfully sweet. It actually made my tongue go numb and I didn’t enjoy it like I would have before. How strange. It’s been a few days since that happened and I still am not craving the carbs. The more sustainable thing for me is switching to a more keto diet trying to keep my carbs as close to zero as possible. I definitely see the benefit in significantly reducing carbs, but doing strict carnivore is not realistic for me. With this experience, I feel more confident that I could indulge in carbs once in a while and not fall off the wagon.
Thank you for sharing this
This is so good!! I’m already thinking of someone I’m dying to send this too!! Thank you thank you!!
I’ve said, “My energy is already on my body”!? 😂 (About 22 lbs worth)
Meat has all the nutrients we need. I totally agree with toxins in plants (“They don’t have the luxury of running away” 😂)

In normal circumstances carbohydrates may be less important but I work out using light weight ultra high reps for conditioning and some Sprint/speed running Stamina and carbohydrates really help me. Perhaps Carbohydrates are useful in certain situations...
You mentioned lectins but not the extreme danger of oxalates particularly in vegetables. I really appreciate your videos and am subscribed. You invited comment.
Personally I’m trying to avoid both lectins and oxalates. After listening to various inputs on the subjects it appears to be a fact that oxalates are the most dangerous.
I'm a keen road cyclist and cycle a few 100 miles a week in addition to swimming twice a week, a couple of spinning classes and/or weight training and circuit training. Could I do all this easily without carbs, since, although fat is very calorific, it's slow to digest and convert to energy?
100% you could. It would take time to adapt, but there are plenty of ketogenic endurance athletes out there.
I can't ensure for the performance, but I can ensure you that it's perfectly possible. Since I've fat adapted, I can easily run 10k after 24 hours of fasting. I even ran after a 36-hour fast. Maybe, just maybe, on shorter and more intense runs, having glycogen stored in the muscles may improve performance. However, once you run/cycle beyond one hour, glycogen is depleted anyway, so being fat adapted helps avoiding "the wall" or that constant urge to eat energy bars that is typical in endurance events.
It depends on the person. I’m doing healthy keto and am walking (intense walking like through rugged terrain with steep hills etc) 15,000+ steps a day. I have a lot more energy and endurance without the carbs (I’m also doing OMAD as I feel much better with just the one meal edit - I only walk fully fasted). But some people insist they cannot function without carbs so it depends on the individual!!
Number one macronutrient consumed in blue zones are carbohydrates. These aren’t greasy highly processed carbohydrates but they are carbohydrates.
Been keto for almost a year and feel amazing.
Well said 👊
I'm goin to try a "carb free" Jan 🤞
Well done
Dr Maggs, would you preserve a video on a copper deficiency & all that it can spin out of range or affect? I had an iron overload and thankfully, my dr is informed on copper. It literally corrected my iron without the pain of donating blood.
There are also phytochemicals, polyphenols, etc that are proven disease modifiers in plants.
I like yr explanation
When limiting carbs I lose hair can you explain why please?
Best video I have viewed. Ever.
I drink about one litre of raw jersey cow 5% fat milk per day. So even though i dont eat vegetables, i do get some carbs from the lactose.
Doesn't Breast milk contain some carbohydrate. Would it be advisable to eliminate all carbohydrates from Birth or post puberty 🤔!
I ordered a steak Monday the waitress badgers me for five minutes about my sides. Just the steak thank you
Well said... Ketones are neuroprotective.
I have just come across this video but it is interesting because I have a RUclips channel & my recent video details my non-scientific anecdotal evidence of what Dr Dan Maggs is explaining. I am 81 years of age & am able to be fully functional at performing feats of extreme athleticism. My dietary intake is much the same as is promoted on this video & the benefits are astounding.
HI! there is a video that explains how carbs creat free radicals and saterated fat is not based on the catabolism process and some electron exchange but i can not find it maybe they delete.Any info on that ?Keep up telling the truth!
Hi! 😊 I discovered your channel 6 days ago and I decided to cut carbohydrates from my diet, and so far it has been amazing, I’ve lost 2’2kg and 390 grams of fat, and I’m very happy and grateful. The only problem is that I have also lost 60 grams of bone mass and it is starting to worry me a lot, does anyone know why it might be happening? Any supplements or food that can help me with this problem? Thank you so much ❤ (and sorry if my English isn’t perfect, I’m from Spain)
Maybe try drinking yogurt? I know it's a good way of getting calcium.
Take a look at the Mediterranean diet. This video is too oriented towards meat eating. If you lookup lectins you will find a less opinionated explanation. As for Carbohydrates, less processing. Your body runs on carbohydrates not fats or protein.
Don't forget K2 ;-) it helps
Running on ketones for several days, but not as regular as before and feeling bloated. OMAD and keto. Any suggestions?
The bloating most likely to come from certains plants , what you eat other than meat ?

fiber bad?what about digestion? fibre in carrots binds to excess endotoxins and cleans our gut,still bad?
I am slowly turning my diet into keto, its just hard to do, cause my parents won't listen.
Fibre is food for the Gut bacteria right? How can we maintain gut health without it?
Vitamin C is a carbohydrate, and - as you said yourself - we need vitamin C. So we need atleast one type of carbohydrates.
Vitamin C is in meat particulary organ meats such as liver. Zoe Harcombe covers this as well.
Hi Dr dan. First let me say love your videos they have helped me lose 50 lb and keep it off, thanks. My question is how long after I go into ketosis does it take to have ketones in my urine? Thanks, Chuck
I wasn't a believer until I did it myself
Bravo! 👏👏👏👏👏
On keto I have so much more energy! I workout better than ever!
I eat a lot of fiber to feed the microbes. They in turn are supposed give nutrients back.
I think it depends on the person. I have an elderly friend who just turned 80. She has been a vegan almost her entire life and is very proactive about her health. This woman is as healthy as a horse! Except for a bit of knee pain, she takes 0 medications and has no known ailments. I know 50 year olds that are not as healthy as her. Myself - I'm a mess. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes over 20 years ago and was never advised on what to eat except in the past few years. I ate what I wanted (within reason) and took my medication as I was told. For quite some time my A1C was below 6.0 and my doctors didn't try to change anything. Then, around 2017 my A1C started to creep up to over 7.0. I haven't been able to get it under control since, at least without causing another problem. I've recently started Intermittent Fasting and trying to eat a low-carb diet, but it's hard. I go for bloodwork in June so we'll see how things go.
I was thought that eating fibers improves your bowel movement. What is your opinion on that?
8:40 you people dont even watch the video and you are so opinionated 😆
Define "improve ". Eating sand paper might also "improve " your bowel movements when eating lots of empty carbs.
You dont need Fiber, its not even digestible.
Another myth.
Since fibre is not digestible, it irritates the walls of the intestines which in turn produce a mucus to deal with the irritation. This is a laxative effect, which the body will get used to (ultimately not good). In fact, there's a recent study done involving people with chronic constipation. They were broken up into three groups...high fibre intake, moderate fibre intake and zero fibre intake. It was only the zero fibre diet that saw 100% of the group resolve their constipation. Makes sense if you understand that "bulk" simply adds to the problem.....it's like trying to relieve a traffic jam by sending in more cars.
If you need additional information check out Dr Eric Westman’s videos. He wholeheartedly believes in low carb..his credentials are outstanding ❤
so why is it that keto low carbers cannot perform well in some sports?
Do we Need Animal protein or fat? There is no such thing as animal protein or fat deficiency
Isn't it the case that to rest the gut one must refrain from high fiber? I believe the elimination diet consists of meat, fish and eggs. That way your system can heal and one can figure out what allergies are contributing to poor health/obesity/etc.
Fat adapted humans can have extremely low glucose levels. I think values of 40 or even 20 mg/dl have been observed.
Yes, for our tongue!
Depends on the pets also in the activity. For me yes need carbs.
OMG Fiber... I started eating carnivore 9 months ago and I can't tell you how many times I got into arguments with my siblings about fiber. Everyone on this planet seems to be brainwashed that we NEED fiber, which is pure nonsense.
I'm zero carb carnivore last 6mo.. doing fine
Type 1 diabetics absolutely need exogenous carbs. Outside of that group, gluconeogenesis is a sufficient process for generating glucose from excesses in protein consumption for everyone else so that exogenous carbs are not necessary.
I am on the carnivore diet for 3.5 years... anctually, I follow the RAW carnivore diet, that is, I eat the meat and organ meats (liver, kidney, brain, etc) RAW! I eat certain bugs, too. (also raw: grashoppers, cicadas, locusts, praying mantis, May beetle, mealworms, superworms, certain spiders, even earthworms... okay, this last is neither a bug, nor an insect... I drink fresh blood, the natural energy drink...)
And my energy skyroketed, my depression is gone, no itchy skin, no aknes, no low back pain, lost approx. 12 kg of weight, better sleep, no extreme irritability...
Don't eat the bugs, it can poison you due to their chitin having heavy metals.
@@nushia7192 Dear Nushia, the thing is, we humans still have to eat something. Everything we eat has risks. There is simply no such thing as something that is exclusively healthy and has no harmful effects. Unfortunately, this is the case, because stupid humanity has repeatedly polluted the Earth and contaminated every food chain with all kinds of harmful substances, be it plant or animal. A long time ago, our world is not as clean - no more - in terms of food as it was in the Paleolithic. The most we can do to decide which food source we think is the healthiest and least harmful is to eat it and avoid the rest. In my opinion, eating insects has a lot of benefits, because insects are rich in essential amino acids, and compared to this benefit, the risk of any harm is small. I admit, "small" is not the same as nothing, zero...
Sadly to say, but we have to take some risks, because we cannot live on sunlight alone, unfortunately.
Good talk. I am on a life long self transformation. I have been managing/mismanaging Diabetes (Type 2). I recently gave up. By that I mean I threw out everything I had tried and began by: reducing the variables. My goal , instead has become: find my current baseline. I have some experience with intermittent fasting (while taking oral medication) and have seen blood sugar levels go down over a 24 hour period, before. But I have still failed to achieve consistent understanding of exactly what my body is doing - which is really the point here.
So. I tossed the meds entirely. I also began intermittent fasting, again. Initially I could only achieve a resting level of 13.5, which is undesirably high. I began tossing food items and simplifying the food intake. The resting level initially did not change, it hovered around 13.5-13.4 ( over a 20/4 hour split - 20 fast/ 4 eating window). I substituted food items with more simply options and read every single label (my god some of them are in tiny font - glasses while shopping is now mandatory). Alas not much changed.
I went to 32 hour cycle which had me in and around 10.5 (28/4). From this I decided to fast for a longer period. I have a fairly physical job and am in my 67th year and had some serious reservations about whether I would be able to cope with that length of fast - there are some unknowns when making that kind of decision. I went to a 48 hour cycle (45/3). I am happy to report that I am headed downward to normal resting sample numbers - my last reading, yesterday, was 8.1. I have tried introducing food items to judge their effects and at times I go up to double figures (as high as 10.5), which means those foods are not currently an option.
I am well on this journey now. My current concern is calorific intake, which is likely less than the prescribed daily norm. I am ambivalent though, since I am finding that my body is remarkably good at sorting out requirements. My approach to diet at present to learn more about foods - with that I would appreciate some feedback on that subject (where can I get calories and what plant foods should I try?). I will keep my system simple - changing only one variable at a time and take some time to find a range of food within which I can live comfortably. In doing this I may be able to adjust the fast interval at some point in the future. I am determined to not fall off the wagon (ie. eat food, offered, that is unsuitable). I do not smoke and have not drunk alcohol since 2017. This has to be the way my life proceeds from here. For now I am content.
My goodness. You have been on a journey. I don’t understand any of your diabetes numbers - in the UK we don’t use the same formula - as far as I know anyway as I’m not diabetic. Have you ever tried a carnivore woe? I too have struggled with my weight all my life and have listened to all the conflicting information over the years. You now describe yourself as content. That sounds like a plus to me. Keep on keeping on 😁
Diabetes sucks. I got diagnosed with type 2 last year. If it was me I would take medicine. Your blood sugar is way too high and you'll sadly be doing a lot of damage. What foods do you eat? Illness will also affect your numbers. If you are overweight lose weight. It does make a difference to your numbers. Allow the possibility that it may take awhile to heal. My blood sugars are progressively lowering. My HBA1C is going down. I eat at of meat, cream, and eggs. Some cheese and a good quantity of butter. I also drink keto chow which has fat of choice. Most of the time I'll do half a cup of cream but sometimes one whole cup. I have now started intermittent fasting and taking berberine. I really feel for you as I felt the stress in your comment. I hope you find some answers.
@@AnnabellaRedwood 8.1 over the weekend. It is coming down, and that is the point of what I wrote above.
I took medication for around 20 years. I'm over it, mostly because I think I can do it without - normal range is 5-7 resting blood sugar level, I can get there.
I my eating window, I start with a slice of vintage cheddar; I eat a large salad (+zero sugar/carbs mayo): lettuce; spinach; capsicum; cauliflower; broccoli; cabbage; small amount of cashew nuts (chopped); Parmesan cheese; onion; tomato. With the salad I might have a slab of salmon or nice piece of steak or chicken legs or lamb shoulder chops or pork bellies. I prefer animal protein with fat on.
The second meal is smaller: fish or meat with some mushrooms and asparagus.
I close the eating window with a smoothie/bullet: whole milk; hemp protein; Brazil nuts; spinach; zero carb/sugar natural Greek yogurt; pumpkins seeds.
So far I have everything as simple as possible. If I change something I change just one something and toss it if the levels are not moving down. My understanding is that for me to achieve this I have to keep plugging away and know my bodies response to every food.
I can do this.
@@AnnabellaRedwood ... so to reiterate ... I am looking for a high calorie food or two to try (remember I have tossed Avocado).
@@eileenharrison7816 those number are short term, from testing. We have long term 3 month figures which run at 50+ for a diabetic. I do not have access to the units of each, right but I find them ill drop them here.
The body can synthethize all the sugar, that´s not the issue. The issue is that carbs are like the moderator of a nuclear reactor, cooling the metabolic hyperacceleration that eating only (or almost) protein and fat causes. Something that you do not want long term. Maybe you have other means of achieving the same "yin" counterbalance like relaxing and meditating every day, but it´s way more practical to just eat some healthy carbs, like a banana or a potato.
Jeez, not another RUclips chiropractor talking about nutrition.
Not good science here for aerobic athletes. Pretty simple you need glucose in your bloodstream and glycogen in your muscles and liver to fuel high aerobic exercise. How you do you think these sugars are acquired? LOW aerobic exercise if fueled by fats sure, but an aerobic athlete requires carbs to perform. Period.
This is absolutely the opposite message to that given by Tim Spector. It leaves me confused. What of the research on the role of our gut biota for immune and mental health, aka the Gut Brain Axis?
Neither promote empty carbs obviously.
plants are bad in moderation,ever heard of hormetic stress? ever heard how carbs effect steroid hormones?
I am on a low carb diet, can't call it keto because I'm not hard enough on food choice. However, without my daily salad, I'd have big problems in reaching satiety without blowing the calorie budget. Also, I've read in many keto sites, that vegetables don't cause insulin spike.
Maybe you need to eat more protein?
Or up the fat!
A salad wont satiate you, meat and fat will.
I react to salad, bad RA flares. A salad is fine if you can tolerate it. Adding more fat, like butter, will keep you fuller.
@@eileenharrison7816 Thank you for the suggestion, but I think I am already at an optimal level with regards to protein quantity. It's also a matter of time it takes for my body to feel full, so if I start dining with a big salad (with olives, cheese, nuts and seeds) I enjoy the later dishes more with less hunger.
The problem is this - there are different kinds of carbs - and some are better for you than others. So to think carbs as a whole are bad for you is not the full story. Do your research and eat some good carbs, even if you are favouring keto. I'm not overweight and eat mainly a carb based diet - but I don't eat anything processed - and it is ok - you burn the carbs and it is self maintaining. If you are overweight, going keto for a short time is ok, to encourage your body to burn fat - but once you are at your ideal weight, don't make the mistake of thinking keto is it for life - long term there are problems with it. Once you are at your ideal weight, eat a calorie controlled diet - doesn't need to be keto, it can be anything as long as it isn't processed food - at your ideal weight, the only thing that matters is don't eat more calories than you burn.
This video certainly does have value for everyone. Personally speaking - meat healed my acid reflux, my carb addiction, obesity, insulin resistance , changes in vision, low blood sugar, gallbladder, pancreatitis and kidney problems. As a result I'm able to find the time to conduct research regarding a hypothesis I have regarding one possible fundamental reason as to why many members of both the Greatest Generation and the Baby Boomer cohort were both so late at beginning a KETO journey In one word: Popeye. Beginning in 1929, the creators and publishers of the comic strip and the cartoons began a campaign of what perhaps can be referred to as pro-vegan "Popeye-ganda." part of the popular culture zeitgeist for decades. Popeye of course claimed he was "strong to the finich 'cause I eats me Spinach." As a result, countless parents encouraged their children for decades to "eat your vegetables so you'll be strong like Popeye." Remember also that it was common for kids to watch Popeye cartoons between arriving home from school and sitting down to dinner. Talk about timing. To counterbalance things somewhat, of course, the character Wimpy was something of a carnivore with his preference for hamburgers he couldn't pay for. . One cultural milestone which pushed back against this trend was when President Herbert Walker Bush, certainly and proudly told the world that he simply didn't like eating broccoli. Carry on Carnivore Warriors, proud and strong here in the midst of this glorious holiday season

Zero carb diets have completely different requirements. It's shown for e.g. vitamin C and magnesium. Probably true for potassium, too. Some people seem to just eat steak and no electrolytes and are fine.

@@silverbulletin846 Plus, they're expensive and not always in season.
You STILL didn't address the issue of vitamin deficiencies. Let's talk about vitamin C. I'm not willing to say I don't need it simply because the Inuit don't; they may have some evolutionary adaptation. I personally get sniffly when I'm not eating enough greens or fruit. I can fix that by eating a couple of kumquats from my tree. There are other vitamins/minerals that are pretty low in meat that can be found in salmon or shellfish, but I and lots of other people can't afford to eat those on a regular basis.
I’m on healthy keto and the bulk of it is green vegetables, cauliflower rice, mushrooms, tomato, and a little meat. I would never do carnivore but feel so much better eating the way I am now :) (and if you got concerned about vit C, a bit of lemon in your water is very low carb)
Everyone is different though and different things work for different people ^_^
Hardly eaten any carbs since March this year. Never felt better.
Do we need carbs? Well, we may do better with fuel injection or battery power. 😔
Hey Dr. Dan, I really enjoy your videos, I did learn a lot from it. But would it be possible to talk a little slower. I do understand most of it even english is not my first language. But for some people it can be hard to follow your conversation becouse theit first language is not enlish 😀
Hi! I always seem to get comments from people saying I talk too slowly! Difficult to make everyone happy. Every video of mine has good quality subtitles/closed captions. Hope that helps you! Thanks for watching.
Why don't you simply slow down the video through speed settings to 0.75x?

@@tomikk86 Hmm, never thought on that, ty and I did try it, It works :)
Better not eliminate carbohydrates from your diet. It's not an experiment you should be willing to try on yourself on the long term. You ll probably gain nothing and put a great stress on your metabolism. This might be great periodically or under certain medical conditions even therapeutic but not sustainable. No deficiency equals no problem. Are you sure? All macro and micronutrients are potentially toxic. Lipids especially, proteins too, let alone carbohydrates. Brain works far better on ketones! Liver produces glucose from fat so everything is cool and normal! Great narrative!
Yap... Everything you say is true. But, just not the all true.
It's the same just to say that fat is not need for our body, cous it can be made from our body. And if our body need only essential nutrition to exist. That it's better just to make them and take it with some kind of powder mix. And we will be happy 😊 living people 🤔
Interesting but irrelevant question. The diets of all healthy and long lived populations of people consists of foods like whole grains and beans i.e. foods containing carbohydrates. Low carb diets is associated with higher mortality i.e statistically it increases your risk of dying prematurely. But low carb is great if you want to fit into a skinnier casket.
I will save you 11:16. The answer is, no.
TBF I do say this at 0:23!
@@DrDanMaggs You are correct, sir 😁
Based on 5 years of personal daily data, I had to reduce my fat and increase my carbs to keep my daily glucose in line.
What do you mean by "keeping it in line"? Was is too high, too low? Was us fluctuating, if yes, when? After eating or after exercise?

Tell an athlete they never need carbs..
@@jamiem3115 Thank you professor but I'll follow my cardiologist's advice. I was on a low-carb diet for over a year which caused my LDL to go sky-high. He told me to reduce my fat intake immediately which only left me with replacing the missing calories with carbs - my protein content was already high, being on a low-carb, high-fat diet. My LDL is returning to normal levels as well as my A1c. My point is, the low carb diet is not the be-all end-all for everyone.
