Waitress Or Diet Details Calories and Carbs

This was a great interview!! He touched on a lot of areas even someone who has been plant-based for about a year (hehe) needed to hear! Dr. Gregor is the man, and him with Rich Roll is the perfect pairing!:) Thank you!!!

Ketosis does nothing more than curb your appetite, you eat less and thus lose weight. I did it strict for 7 months, less than 20 grams a day carbs, bought a ketone and blood glucose meter. Hit the gym 6 days a week. I lost 40 pounds in 5 months and then stalled. Sometimes you would go 5 weeks without loosing a pound. I started tracking my calories and i had to consume roughly 1500 a day to lose any weight. If i ate 1500 kcals a day on a healthy diet with carbs i would have lost the same amount of weight. I did like the stable energy levels, you never get hungry or crave foods so it’s easy to consume less food. I weigh 210 pounds and pretty fit. This is not a quick fast fix, requires alot of pre planning, meal preps and dedication, the diet is difficult to stick to as you end up eating the same few meals every day. I went months lifting my ass off at the gym and wasn’t getting any stronger because the muscle needs insulin to grow, plain and simple. I started eating cabs again and immediately noticed strength and muscle gains in the gym.

I am doing intermittent fasting since February 2020 and I have lost 28 pounds! I am very happy with it. Now I am doing 23/1 fasting but I am stuck in 149 pounds and I do not know what else to do. I am 5.4 feet tall and I am 57 years old. I would like to get some advice of what to do next. I must be making some mistakes not to be able to loss more weight
I am drinking a lot of water and I am taking super greens supplement and b12 and anti-stress magnesium, I quit all the regular medicine that the doctor had prescribed like levotiroxine, hormone replacement, bupropion, fluoxetine etc. I feel much better though a little sleepy during the day, at night I sleep like a log during 9 hours or 10. I eat almost the same every day because my stomach has shrinked a lot, I am having 2 eggs cooked in 1 spoon coconut oil as scrambled eggs, 100 gr of salmon, raw spinach, 5 nuts, half avocado, half tomato. And the vitamins thank you so much! ♥️ I need to get to 130 pounds to feel light!
I used to be 100 pounds all my life

Wow I was in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District he mentions growing up. Wish we had this guy as a kid!

He really helped me understand fasting. I’m reading his book The Obesity Code.

Nobel Prize! Makes me so sad, that the truth is diluted by corporate for decades.

I keep trying to tell fellow intermittent fasters that skipping breakfast is bad!! Most of the fasters I know skip breakfast and not dinner. I’m going to share the hell out of this video.

FDA food pyramid equals fatty liver. Rockefeller Medicine…

Brilliant. Would love to see more about the intermittent fasting and timing, the LDL component isn’t clear to me.

Question: Lustig says “if you don’t feed your microbiome, your microbiome feeds on you”. My understanding was that starving carbohydrate eating bacterial of your microbiome starves them out until those bacterial strains disappear. They would then be replace with bacterial that feed on fat and protein instead. Is my understanding wrong?

Who in their right mind would eat a spoon full of white raw flour? Maybe thousands of years ago in times of famines before a long cold winter hunter gathers might eat raw wheat. Time the FDA adds labels to carbohydrate foods, “This product is sickening”

I am going to have to listen to this again. It was more technical than I am used to listening to. Because I got to thinking that it was okay to eat carbohydrates and less fiber but then he made the statement if you go without fiber the bacterium that you have been feeding would end up feeding on you. Now that’s got me in a perplexed thought. Because I’ve been having trouble with my sugar levels of how well I feel. I was trying to go more carnivore but when I started reducing the carbohydrates I really got feeling ill. And it’s thrown my balance off. Not sure what to do yet. Other than go slow at reducing the carbohydrates. And which kind of carbohydrates etc etc. Gosh our diets have become so complicated just to stay well.

Fructose is bad, glucose is not, africa lives on refined white corn flour. ZERO FAT / DIABETIC people. There is malnutrition because of the micronutrients/protein deficiency caused by refined starch and lack of fish / meat, and very little food diversity, but that’s another story.

Glucose (starches) are just a very good healthy energy source. Fructose (HFCS, sucrose) is just a toxin.

Dr.Phinney is scared of longer fasts.

“The ACTUAL amount of lean mass lost was 1.2 kg (2.6 pounds), but importantly, this was LESS than caloric restriction (1.6 kg). Also, some lean mass is lost during weight loss (skin, connective tissue) and the lean mass percentage INCREASED by 2.2% during fasting.”

Follow this man into the battle for health and you WILL succeed.

There are so many great benefits to nutritional ketosis. I have seen fantastic results! Here to help if anyone needs it!

Lustig has cleary lost some weight. Practicing what he teachs

On the subject of sodium you say 2 grams and 2 grams added to a lightly salted diet.  A total of 2 grams? and what about potassium?  I  use “light” salt (half sodium, half potassium) which is the cheapest way to buy potassium at the grocery store.  Any advise?  Is it 2 grams of sodium plus? grams of potassium?

35:58 Ummm avoid grains, and oats are a grain… fruit is full of sugar! Wow don’t eat sugar, but instead… EAT SUGAR!!!! How about… I don’t know eat an egg, leafy greens (no roots) and steak, go to bed hungry. That’s healthy!

This is the moron who said in a podcast that Donald Trump did not have a functioning frontal cortex?
If that were the case he could not make decisions and it is obvious to the most rabid anti-Trump citizen that he makes decision. Need more proof? A person without a functioning cerebral cortex lacks “executive could not work towards a goal, which he clearly did to win the nomination and election.

As Joe Pesci said in “My Cousin Vinnie”, “I’m through with this guy.”-not because he loathes Donald Trump- but because he is capable of uttering such utterly stupid opinions.

The doctor knows all about problems with fat around waist. It looks like he has a little more fat there then he should. Maybe not obese but overweight. Can tell when he turns to side. Many studies and he talks about some showing belly fat is not inert but is sending out a lot of toxic inflammatory compounds. Not good for getting to old healthy age. So he like all of us struggle with not eating junk food and not wanting to exercise much.

I hate when people interject with noise. Just shut up woman.

I’ve been LCHF for about 6 months now. I’ve enjoyed the benefits I was able to ride 100 miles on just water and electrolytes. The remaining 32 miles though were really tough! A also do HIIT twice a week sprints and hills. The one question I don’t see answered is what to do during the event? Just eat fat/protein, or take small amount of carbs?

My friend laughed when I told them I was gonna reduce weight with just using Custokebon Secrets, but after I showed them amazing effects after I used it they are begging me to share with them about it. Of course I won’t let them know the details about this diet plan, hahaha

34:30 Yes, grians are toxic, don’t eat them… apple juice is nothing more than liquid sugar, and yes, toast, it turns to pure sugar when you eat it…. of course sugar levels go up. Why not bacon, and steak drenched in butter…. non-salt butter… with a all greens (no root, no dressing) salad.

I watched most of Bitter Truth but got bogged down by the chemistry section. I understand his point though. For years we thought too much fat in the diet was the problem, when it’s really sugar! I didn’t realize the differences between sucrose, fructose and “high-fructose” corn syrup until he explained it. I assumed all sugars were metabolized the same. Now I am looking at ingredients for everything I buy, especially for the evil HFCS! It’s amazing how many products include it.

I also didn’t make the distinction between non-surgar carbohydrates (such as those in Japanese diet) and sugar carbs. I assumed any high carb diet wasn’t good, but Dr. Lustig made the point that a person can do well and even lose weight on the Japanese diet too due to the drastic reduction of sugar, even though the diet is still high in complex carbs. Upon reflection, this makes sense to me. Many years ago I was a vegetarian (for a total of 7 years). ate a lot of complex carbs, hardly any protein and not much sugar. I was still pretty thin on this diet.

This guy predicted soybean oil might be bad for you years before studies just started saying the same…  Impressed!  Bonus for the sodium and magnesium supplementation.  Nice job Doc.

How come when I check my blood first thing when I get up,and then have a few cups of black coffee and then test after 30 mins my blood sugar goes up from 6.3 to 7.5 then it must break my fast is that correct

Greger needs to consider the benefits of intermittent fasting as a inducer of autophagy. If How Not To Age is the next book… Autophagy better be heavily covered. And Intermittent Fasting clearly supports that.

I got hit hard by not replacing enough sodium everyday. For about two weeks anytime I did strength training I would get massive headaches. It too me a while to figure it out but I need roughly 5g of sodium+ per day for me to be able to strength train (anaerobic exercise) headache free.

what about swimmers… Swims 50m to 400m…. Max. duration is 4 minutes….

Any thoughts on carb cycling? I heard the part about carbs, metabolic emergency, from 1 day, but I hear Biohackers say carb cycling is good for the body. Thank you.

great video thank you for your work Dr Phinney was the final piece of the puzzle I was missing for years. Currently living in the nutritional ketosis and will need look back.

Really interesting lecture and I agree with much of what Dr Lustig puts forward. He has a very unique insight of diet and does show that even if you find low carb difficult that cutting sugar additives will massively improve your overall health. Especially with his study on the children within his practice. The dramatic change in their health not dropping carbs or starch just the added sugar, genuinely was astounding. However, I do wonder how much more dramatic the markers would have been if he took it furthereven with a select few of his patients with a low carb diet of maintaining the same number of calories and whether the results in would have been even more dramatic. He seems extremely attached to maintaining his view on low fat guidelines despite the mountain of evidence which disproves it.

I always enjoy listening to Dr. Phinney. Thanks for uploading.

Are there any moves here that could harm my L5 S1 back fusion?

It is true. I cut out all sugar and carbs except for leafy greens and I lost 50 pounds of blubber in 6 months which much of it was in and around my liver without even trying. I am not a young man but I feel 20 years less old now. I dare you to try it.

Excellent presentation and great associated paper: http://www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(15)00334-0/pdf

Great talk, although at 25:00 he incorrectly describes how to perform orthostatic vital signs because for it to be positive you would expect a 20 point in SYSTOLIC and 10 point in DIASTOLIC and you need to wait 2-3 minutes before taking the second reading after standing up. Upon standing, your vascular reflexes will cause a false reading and your true orthostasis will be revealed in the 2-3 minute mark.

It seems the food and pharmaceutical companies are allowed to do this by Democrats to reduce social security payments.

30:25 An apple is an natural laxative, therefore… you are going to poo out your calories before you can absorb them. Again, you have missed your mark. Thumbs Down.

I really liked Roberts earlier talks. I even bought one of his books.
I mentioned his “salt in cola” piece, like the good little parrot i am, to one of my coworkers and he ripped it apart by googling the salt content of cola and tap water. I checked other sources. They are the same. Robert made that whole thing up. I am still dissappointed and wont trust him as a source of information.

Lesson learned: fact check everything. Especially if its health related and even more so if its presented by a speaker as good as him.

Cordain, Phinney, Noakes, et al are suffering from confirmation bias and selective reading and interpretation of the available literature.
1. They blame carbohydrates for obesity and diabetes, which has only gone epidemic in the last 40 years, whereas humans have been eating grains for 100,000 years.
2. 75% of the world’s population is lactase deficient after weaning, which excludes dairy as a form of fat and protein for most of mankind.
3. Grains alone have got mankind through drought and flood for eons. Animals cannot be produced and stored adequately for this purpose.
4. Diabetes and obesity can be reversed on a high carb diet (it’s in the literature). Success in achieving weight loss and reversal or minimization of insulin resistance is primarily based on losing excess bodyfat %, and managing stress.
5. Arguing that a high fat, high animal produce diet, is superior in managing weight AND longevity advantage, is not supported by the greater body of science.
6. Many who develop insulin resistance do so by poor dietary habits excessive refined carbs, a lack of fibrous carbs, excess fat; and undisciplined lifestyles and poor stress management.
7. No community with a longevity advantage, anywhere in the world at any time has had a low carb high fat diet. Rather, unprocessed carbs has been the staple for all. The AVERAGE Neanderthal lifespan during the Paleo era was 35yo. If most lived beyond 70, there would not have been adequate food resources.
8. There was not ONE paleolithic diet. There was many depending on local resources and climate. These included high carb diets.

Whichever way you cut it, LCHF pushers are grossly ignorant about the paleoanthropological record and pwned by the naturalistic fallacy.

Leadership postion at Monsanto???? I hope left because he disagreed with them

This is the best talk on metabolic syndrome I have ever seen!

as i tried many diets before im gonna give it a try and see if how my performance goes with it.however i dont trust people who drink coffe and use apple products

I like the hybrid car analogy of burning fuel and intermittent fasting. Well done

[NB. I am currently experimenting on myself with both LCHF though not aiming for ketosis just yet and a 36 hour fast once a week in the manner described by Jason Fung.]

For those arguing in favour of fasting in the manner suggested by Dr Fung, I’m not saying you are wrong but it is a bit early to say that you are right. And that is exactly what Dr Phinney was saying about Dr Fung (though he didn’t state his name when making his comments) and the claims he and Jimmy Moore made in their book about fasting. To be fair, I had to watch this video a couple of times and go back and read some more stuff written by Dr Fung to clearly understand what Dr Phinney was saying here. Dr Fung makes some very bold claims about the benefits of fasting (and time may well prove him absolutely correct) but Dr Phinney is very correct to point out that the scientific data is lacking at the moment. Dr Fung treats obese diabetic patients successfully with fasting but does that mean that non-obese, non-diabetic people should be doing the same thing? We don’t know at the moment. And what about people who weight train (whether we are obese or diabetic or not) because there is a pretty small segment of the population who are regular & serious weight trainers (and that includes many of the bros in the gym).

When I am not interested in LCHF for health I am interested in strength training and one thing that becomes very apparent if you delve into that area is that it is very poorly understood by the medical community, most of whom think about exercise in ‘cardio’ terms. So there is a big gap in the knowledge about how serious strength training leading to significant hypertrophy impacts on a whole heap of health conditions and that is true in the LCHF world as well (though it is changing). In relation to muscle loss/gain and the nitrogen balance, Dr Phinney says the evidence shows certain things but my understanding (which may be flawed) is that nitrogen balance is not necessarily a good indicator of muscle protein synthesis so it could be that Dr Phinney is unduly concerned about nothing.

And then I would have to ask what the effect of exercise (especially strength training) has on this: if you put people into a calorie restricted state via fasting or daily restriction without fasting perhaps they will lose muscle mass but if they are lifting heavy weights during this time maybe they won’t. I suspect that is a major, but as yet unexplored, factor.

The main criticism I have of Dr Fung is his argument that people have been fasting for thousands of years therefore it is good for us. Well maybe it is but that same argument is routinely used to say that people have been consuming carbs in the forms of grains for thousands of years so we should keep doing that and not go LCHF. Also he states that ‘it doesn’t make sense’ for the body to use protein for fuel while in a fasted state if it has fat to utilise instead but I would point out that it equally doesn’t make sense for the human body to be so intolerant of carbs that it develops type 2 diabetes but it clearly does. So let’s go where the evidence leads us and admit when we don’t yet know things rather than using ‘common sense’ to determine what we do when it is abundantly clear that our bodies are not driven by ‘common sense’ but by biochemistry.

Dr Gregor’s face when he hears that people actually say ‘blood work doesn’t mean anything’ ��������

What constitutes slow release Mg, that I can get in AU. I definitely suffer the ill effects of some Mg supplements
