    Most people are pretty confused when it comes to metabolic health. Fasting, macronutrient ratios, and blood glucose regulation are only a few of the topics that trip people up when it comes to managing a healthy weight and relationship to food.
    Naturally, I like to look to the latest research to find a clearer picture. And science has come a long way since the “eat less, exercise more” paradigm was first introduced.
    If you’ve wondered what aspects of your diet and lifestyle made the biggest impact on your metabolic health and how to make subtle tweaks for maximum impact, this episode of The Dhru Purohit Podcast is for you. Dhru talks to our friend Dr. Ben Bikman about all this and more.
    Dr. Bikman is a renowned metabolic research scientist and a popular speaker on human metabolism and nutrition. Backed by years of research, Dr. Bikman’s mission is to help the world appreciate the prevalence and relevance of insulin resistance.
    He is the author of the book, Why We Get Sick, which offers a thought-provoking yet real solution to insulin resistance and reversing pre-diabetes, improving brain function, shedding fat, and preventing diabetes. Dr. Bikman has a Doctor of Philosophy in Bioenergetics from East Carolina University and completed a postdoctoral fellowship in metabolic disorders with the Duke-National University of Singapore Medical School.

      You need carbs for energy . He never mentions anything about severe sugar intake, most fat people eat so much sugar which ends in diabetes. This doctor is not my idea of healthy. Americans are most obese population per capita in the world. He's trying to sell a foolish book.

      @@user-lw9pj7yz1l I have to agree here, with some changes. Sugar itself does NOT create diabetes, it's saturated fat intake that creates it by influencing the cell to not open in the presence of sugar, so the blood sugar levels rise instead of being burned. So the issue becomes the combination of Uber concentrated sugars in engineered food and high saturated fat intake. So the "don't fear fats" thing is incorrect. It should be "don't fear healthy fats such as omega 3s, continue fearing saturated fats and omega 6s"
      I really liked his talk about how high insulin affects our health and how it affects our endocrine system overall.

    I have tried fasting, and I actually gained weight because my body thought it was starving. The timing of the fasting I think is what really matters. I tried changing my eating window to eating breakfast at 10 o’clock, lunch at 2 o’clock and dinner to 6 o’clock and I have successfully lost weight without starving. Good luck to everyone and I hope this works for someone out there struggling like I was.

    TLDR: Insuline stores fat. If you eat lots of carbs and many times a day, your body will always have high insulin and thus storing lots of fat. No matter exercise or calories control. Best to let your stomack empty and avoid snacks to allow insuline to go down. Eat more fat and less carbs. Exercise and calories control come after insuline control.

    Great video:
    1. Looking forward to next meal with family makes fasting easier.
    2. If it’s too far way, like if we aren’t all home for that day, I’ll make that meal smaller or even try to push my fasting period that day. Cream and dark chocolate in my coffee is a great low carb 100 cal way make it from one supper to the next. I use 35% cream or whole milk because the 10% and 18% cream here has non-dairy additives.
    3. Love eggy crepes. Swedish pancakes also have more egg in them. They are like crepes but thicker. I have them with butter and heated blueberries or lignin berries. If maple syrup, more butter. Walnuts are also a great way to increase fat and fibre in things like oatmeal, fruit, maple syrup, crepes.
    4. I try to always keep my net carbs for any meal under 1g per 20 calories, or 20%, even if it means adding butter or walnuts or heavy cream or olive oil to salad.
    5. Eggs are always a great way to skip scales away from carbs.
    6. Also works with alcohol. ie eggnog of heavy cream, real ground nutmeg, whole raw egg, just one shot of rum. Alcohol still bad, but this is a great way to reduce alcohol and keep proteins and fats up on social occasions.

You could say I just transferred the problem I guess but it seems worse now, probably because I'm actually present. I'm not sure how to deal with it and keep eating healthily, it's such a mental struggle. I do well then fall off the rails badly. Yet I persist.

      My weight is down 50 lbs in less than 5 months. My blood sugar levels are very good. I use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM), which is a great tool to enable you to understand what foods raise your blood sugar. There is a lot of very informative low carb information available on You-Tube and many rabbit trails that you can explore. I'm sure you will figure out what works for you.

      Control your carbs simply means be mindful of how many grams of carbs you eat I would say try to keep carbs under or around 100 grams a day can go a little higher on harder workout days, make protein a priority with each meal, protein slows down the insulin spikes you will get with carbs, keep you full, protein takes more to break down with gives you the thermic effects burning calories breaking it down, and give you the building blocks to build muscle which will help you burn more calories at rest. Don't fear healthy fats like butter, avocado, olive oil.

I had stalled on weight loss, so I decided to try intermittent fasting. 16-8 works well for me. Having an 8 hr window to eat wasn't hard. I started losing weight again. I did have to set alarms and pay attention to the time. That can be tricky for me, because my circadian rhythm is almost non-existent. My wake-sleep cycles are all over the place.
    Right now I've gone off my restrictions because I have a new lower denture. My gums aren't fully healed yet, they're changing constantly, and it's extremely difficult to chew anything. Soft foods are mostly higher carb, even soups. I've been able to keep calories down, and avoid gaining anything back, and I still use allulose rather than sugar. I'm looking forward to being able to chew again, so I can easily go back to keto and intermittent fasting. I'm getting tired of eating soup I've pureed in the blender.
    I believe we've had diabetes development and treatment backwards. I believe that insulin resistance, coupled with leptin resistance, develop first, leading to the development of diabetes. I have type 2, and keto is the best diet for me to maintain lower blood sugar levels. I've lost around 70 lbs, and need to lose about 120 more to reach a normal weight.

    I stopped eating added sugar cakes candy etc for one month just eating normal carb meals ,then i switched to no carbs just meat and veg and very little fats (as i have plenty of fat in my body that needs using up) every 24 hours its working a treat no side affects , when i tried keto a couple of years ago i felt terrible the whole two months im guessing it was the sugar withdrawal as i have been stuffing it in my mouth for 58 years

      You probably needed salt/electrolytes and the reason why you felt so bad on keto. When on keto, you go to the restroom a lot and it drains you of your minerals. Magnesium and potassium supplements help me a lot.

    From 1 professional to another Excellent job on this. I love the explanation of how cells dont do anything without the eicosanoid instruction of what to do with the energy packets. This is absolutely 100% accurate. Its also why you need to watch saturated fat intake so not to give bad information to the cells. Saturated fats will decrease insulin sensitivity and create this whole high glucose high insulin state that we need to avoid

    Thank you for this information, I think I got the illusive next step on my healing journey. I went on an almost zero carb diet on Jan 22. I lost 65lbs in 5 months and kept it off for 2 years while adding a few carbs. I no longer have asthma, no longer have pre diabetes, have completely normal liver, down from a 20 cm enlarged liver 3 years ago, have reduced my coronary calcium score by 20 points (106-86). Visceral fat down from 25 to 15. And many other skin issues , gout etc. But I have stayed at about 44% body fat and my bmi still obese. No matter what I do I can''t lose any more. 4 months ago I added 10,000 steps every day. I still have about 35lbs to lose. I did fast early on but lost a lot of hair, it grew back now. I think I am going to try fasting once a week and we'll see how it goes.

      Same here with cookies, granola, ice cream...non-stop till the container is empty. I heard it explained that carbs have no satiety signal! Makes total sense of our experience, right? It's biochemistry, not a "bad habit". Fiber gives a stuffed/bloated feeling. Protein triggers a certain hormone that tells you "done". Fat makes you start to get queasy. But carbs= constant green light! I'm experimenting with 80/20 carnivore, but couldn't manage using my proper ideal weight, so I dropped it by another 20# to calculate lower quantities. Today's breakfast of 25% of day's calories in 80/20 ratio: 8 strips of bacon, 2TB butter😳...I'm staring at one strip and 3/4TB left on the plate, thinking "I.just.cant. 🤮" Oh, this is what a normal person feels when they push a plate away with food left on it!! Who knew?? Will be interesting to see how long before I'm hungry again.

    The thing about kids that has so far been not mentioned is their extraordinary level of physical activity if they are permitted the use of an outdoor playground. But, unfortunately that is a very restricted activity in the lives of young children in today’s childcare programs. Let them play vigorously, run, jump, climb, ride scooters, tricycles, pull each other in wagons. Skip the academic drilling while their characters are forming. Learning self-confidence and risk management and the give and take of friendship are more important than cognitive testing for literacy skills at this stage of development. LET THEM PLAY.

    Eating carnivore makes fasting extremely easy. There is no way I could combine the standard American diet with fasting. I transitioned to carnivore, then went to omad, and even added in a 5 day fast. My baseline is now omad with longer fasts when I feel like it. Started 1/12/22 at 308 currently 287 headed to 200. 6'4" male. Longer fasts might help not having loose skin at target weight. An 8 oz steak is more than enough to satisfy me so over eating when breaking a fast is not a problem.

    Do you recommend processed foods like olive oil. I know you said eat the fruit but not the juice. Would the same be true if you take all the fiber/pulp out of the olive? What is the difference? My brother argued olive oil has elagic acid. I said well then eat the olive becausr the oil is too concentrated, our ancestors didn't pour oil on their salad etc. I think if someone has a fatty liver or clogged pancreas etc how do they control or know how much processed oil they can eat. They could chop their own sunflower seeds or other tricks to just focus on whole foods.

The dentist said it was from the juice. That woke me up to how bad juice is.
