That’s some amazing information and it’s 100% based in science.
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!!!
The government needs to make high fructose corn syrup be illegal. As long for its still consumed and used in many of our processed foods
metabolic syndrome won’t go away
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.
By far, Dr. Phinney is one of the smartest, most humble human being I’ve ever seen and heard.
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
i enjoyed watching the video and found it to be helpful, but i still think i missed some important points due to my language barrier, can anyone sum up or name / direct me to important time stamps in the video? ty alot
Wow I was in the Mt. Diablo Unified School District he mentions growing up. Wish we had this guy as a kid!
I absolutely love this guy. I’m not vegan but I refer to him a lot. He’s just a trustworthy sort of guy.. president Greger. I’d vote.
He really helped me understand fasting. I’m reading his book The Obesity Code.
That was fantastic. Well worth the hour watch. Big Thumbs up.
Nobel Prize! Makes me so sad, that the truth is diluted by corporate for decades.
Early on he stated he promotes low fat “for the right patient.” That’s when he lost my attention.
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.
Honey is 45/55 with enzymes, soda is 45/55 no enzymes. Duh. This clown says do not eat fruit or juice with/out veg. The only thing “real” is that out fat as bad as it appears to be. No mention of toxins in food or medicine! like NDMA in OTC pills. No it’s your apple pie that’s going to take you out at 35 years..
FDA food pyramid equals fatty liver. Rockefeller Medicine…
I got fat after a year of essentially eating just homemade bean and cheese burritos. No added sugar; no added fat. The carbs were in the beans and the flour tortillas, which were also made with vegetable oil. So it’s not just sugar. My girth expanded, increased weight, BMI hitting 29, BP increasing, some numbness in my periphery, a new dental cavity every month, when I had never had cavities…YIKES! (My dentist, a recent USC grad, claimed that he didn’t have a clue!) He just kept pushing fancy expensive fluoride products at me and scratching his head. So I went on keto for a year, 50 pounds melted away, effortlessly, circumference normal, BP back at 114/70, getting my peripheral sensation back, fatty liver receding, etc. IT’S NOT JUST SUGARY SODAS! It’s CARBS of any and all varieties! And when coupled with fat watch out! BTW no cavities since I started my keto diet 11 months ago.Isn’t it crazy that a top-notch recent USC dentist grad didn’t know that? had never heard of Eades Egyptian mummies? Did not understand the correlation between sugars/carbs and dental caries? Huh?
Brilliant. Would love to see more about the intermittent fasting and timing, the LDL component isn’t clear to me.
How far is US through pandemic? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SoxoxpraGuM
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?
Very interesting! Would love to see an indepth debate between Dr Jason Fung and Dr Stephen Phinney about the lean tissue loss issue on fasting. Both sides are compelling when presenting their views on this…..
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”
The great Dr Phinney.
If HFLC was some form of thuglife he would be an OG.
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.
I feel outrage from being a family member of a heart surgeon.
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.
52min in, one chart for all you need. if you’re over 18, inhibit pi3k as best you can, modulate mtor and ampk (funny how diet and exercise do those things, almost like, I guess, a form of evolution…)
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.”

“I’m so much less productive when I’m unconscious.” Hahahaha =D
Follow this man into the battle for health and you WILL succeed.
One of the easiest and best explanations of IF I have ever heard:)
There are so many great benefits to nutritional ketosis. I have seen fantastic results! Here to help if anyone needs it!
Fung saved my life. 90 lbs down and 5.4 A1c for 15 months and I’ve been off my diabetes medications for more than a year.
Lustig has cleary lost some weight. Practicing what he teachs
Is that comparison of Dietary Fats slide available somewhere that I can get.
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?
Writes book on how not to die. Looks like he is dying, great stuff
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!
He is experiencing End Stage Veganism (ESV). He’s embarrassing, So painful to watch.
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.This guy has more energy and excitement than a toddler!
Absolutely loving the chapters in the time bar by the way. Much easier to listen back to a certain section later instead of seeking through the whole 2hr thing
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.
0:00 Salt intake New England Journal of Medicine published study
low sodium intake correlation with increase mortality
5:00 Salt and low carb
avoid “Atkins Flu” start 5g sodium unless reason not to
9:00 “What do you make of Dr. John McDougall?”
around 10% of the population can each high carb without converting carbs to fat (lipogenesis)
in next 5-10 years hope to find robust biomarkers to find out what works individually
“the majority should not be advised to eat something that benefits only a minority”
11:50 Omega 3, Omega 6 polyunsaturated fats
don’t base intake on percent of fat intake but grams per day
three meals of wild-caught or credibly farmed fish per week for enough omega 3 as long as avoid high omega 6 oils.
if not eating fish use trusted fish oil tested for mercury and PCBs. 1 gram if not at risk for heart disease otherwise 2 to 3 grams
16:20 Adequate amounts of potassium and magnesium on the ketogenic diet
don’t need to supplement potassium if 3 to 5 servings of non-starchy vegetables a day and making own meat bone broth
for magnesium look for green because mineral in the center of the chlorophyll is magnesium
limit processed meat because it is reduced in potassium and magnesium
people with type 2 diabetes associated with inability to store magnesium indicated by cramps recommend magnesium supplement
21:00 High CRP
“butterfly in the breeze”, slight flu CRP 10 can cause times higher
white cell count more robust
months to dial down inflammation on ketogenic diet
23:10 Do symptoms related to low sodium like lightheadedness show up on blood tests?
blood sodium stays in 135 and 145 range
sodium level in blood has to match the potassium level in cells so not a measure of total sodium in circulation
when you restrict sodium the blood level of sodium doesn’t go down but the body shrinks the amount of blood in circulation
lie down for 5 minutes and relax, take blood pressure, get up and if systolic drops 10 millimeters you’ve got a volume depleted state
“give them a cup of warm boullion and they turn pink”
25:10 PH difference in diabetic acidosis vs ketosis
measured bicarbonate not directly ph
“we see ketonemia without acidemia” with β-Hydroxybutyric up to 7mm
27:40 What would 70% fat be in grams?
don’t measure and eat to satiety using instinct once carb regulated
Dr Phinney eats excess of 200g fat (1800-2000 kCal), 50g carb (200 kCal), 80-110g protein (400 kCal) burns 2500-2700 kCal per day
That’s as far as I got
I hate when people interject with noise. Just shut up woman.
Thats all well and good, all these lectures see, to focus on long duration ‘cardio’. What about some studies and research on explosive/strength/resistance training athletes?
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?
When it comes to fasting and calorie restriction I think I remember there were very successful experiments in Russia several decades ago. Especially Cancer and mental health issues were treated very successfully. Looking at the use of fasting for physical and mental healing throughout human history, I think there is more to fasting than is stated in the video.
Considering that we humans most likely, rarely had several nutritious full meals a day before the industrial revolution, farming etc. it is to assume that today we simply constantly eat too much. Even on Keto.
Russian Doctor/scientist Galina Schatalova had a very interesting concept, starting in the 1960s, regarding how few calories the body actually needs.
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
This was the best lecture I have heard in a while. I respect this man so much. Such good food for thought. I will share this so his wise advise is incorporated in this LCHF lifestyle. Thank you for letting us hear this man speak.
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 Dr Fungs series on intermittent fasting. I was so impressed. I stared the program Dec 2019. I have lost 37 pounds and I no longer take med for type 2 diabetes. I fast daily from6pmto 12n. My Dr is so impressed. I am never hungry. Thank you Dr Fung!
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.
Dr.Lustig…..you and Dr.william Davis author of “Wheat Belly”…. changed my life. Going on 2 years and normal body weight….50 pounds gone forever.
Thank you
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.
Bovine scat. Refrigerating pasta overnight will not magically lower its glycemic index. You will just end up with cold pasta that will spike blood glucose like any other. After a long fast my BG elevated to 150 mg/dL as tested an hour after my meal..
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
21:35 Dr Greger mentions the deaths per year from heart disease. Here are the facts from the CDC… https://www.cdc.gov/heartdisease/facts.htm#::text=Heart%20disease%20is%20the%20leading,1%20in%20every%204%20deaths.
The irony is how the MSM vilifies Americans for going against the tyrannical lockdowns over Covid-19 and never once mentions that almost 1700 Americans die every day from heart disease which, by the way, is not only treatable but reversible. I’m not in anyway saying the virus isn’t concerning but on the contrary I can’t seem to agree with the fact that their narrative is pushing the envelope to where you can make the case for all transmutable diseases require similar actions. I don’ see how that would be ‘living’. More like surviving or shall I say existing.
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 really admire Dr. Greger for his walking.
Although I prefer to walk on old rail beds.
Whole foods and walking. You can’t go wrong.
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.
This video has great information, but I’m not sure about the best diet plan which i need to work with, only because I have never taken any. Anyone tried the Custokebon Secrets? I’ve heard many people talk about unbelivable things about Custokebon Secrets.
what about swimmers… Swims 50m to 400m…. Max. duration is 4 minutes….
A video in which beans don’t exist? This is pure propaganda. Disappointing.
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.
When he says fructose is he talking a about sugars from high fructose corn syrup AND sugar from fruits? Or just high fructose corn syrup.
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.
I haven’t heard Dr. Phinney mentioning eggs as part of a low carb/ketogenic diet.
I eat a 4 egg omelette each morning with butter, perhaps I should replace it with meat?
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 think Dr. McDougall is a raving nut. It proves it when you see some of his later videos as he’s really showing that he’s lost his head. The brain requires fat, it’s made of fat and can’t do without it. That inclues the entire nervous system.
I always enjoy listening to Dr. Phinney. Thanks for uploading.
Terrific lecture. Fascinating talk on ketoadaptation vs. the traditional highcarb diet in athletes.
Are there any moves here that could harm my L5 S1 back fusion?
LOW CARB DOWN UNDER THANK YOU FOR POSTING ALL THE DR PHINNEY VIDEOS!!! SUBSCRIBED!!!!
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.
I am a health professional (RD) enthusiastically embracing keto and thank you for your research in this area!
Excellent presentation and great associated paper: http://www.metabolismjournal.com/article/S0026-0495(15)00334-0/pdf
I love fat, on meats, avocados, butter, sour cream….etc. lol I have no problem with eating it.
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.
Hi Rich, fantastic video, as always with my personal hero, Dr. Greger!!! Next chance you get, could you ask him to comment on fatty liver disease?
It seems the food and pharmaceutical companies are allowed to do this by Democrats to reduce social security payments.
Taxpayers don’t fund anything on federal level. I know that is not conventional wisdom. See Stephanie Kelton’s recent “Deficit Myth”. It is never a question of affordability at federal level, fed gov creates money, it is a question of availability of resources and political will.
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.
This is another reason why I respect Dr Stephen Phinney. Yes, he obviously promotes low carb, BUT he wouldn’t say we should ALL be on it. Therefore this dude doesn’t have a hidden agenda, this isn’t a business op for him. He comes across as very genuine and passionate in helping people get healthier.
In a sea of quacks, it is great to come across this dude….Also, he has a soothing voice, very digestible. ;D
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.
if ya gonna use stones as a weight use lbs as well so us Americans can understand what you mean! Same goes for Celsius when us Americans use Fahrenheit.
Too bat the graph at 7:26 does not have avocado oil on it. And how old is the graph? I heard Lard has way more PUFA than this shows because they feed pigs an unhealthy feed that changes the fat profile.
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.
Love his talks. As many times as I listen, I seem to learning something new. It’s been a year since I began this on-again/off-again romance with LCHF and I am just now understanding the importance of personalization.
Leadership postion at Monsanto???? I hope left because he disagreed with them
The adding sugar not only to be addictive to processed food, but also as preservative agent
This is the best talk on metabolic syndrome I have ever seen!
Also, depending on your salt sensitivity, you may experience transitional spikes in BP immediately after taking one dose of salt. The greater question is, did our ancestors take so much additional salt? How about those not living near sea or places without salt?
Personally, without salt, I have to stay bed-ridden with low BP, dizziness and light-headedness. This seems to be the Achilles’ heel of the LCHF diet.
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
Also, pink Himalayan salt seems not to trigger high blood pressure, while even sea salt seems to spike blood pressure. Magnesium & Potassium also make a difference.
I like the hybrid car analogy of burning fuel and intermittent fasting. Well done
too much time waisted on side stuff especially at beginning.
[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.
Although it’s probably true that calories eaten in the morning creates less fat than calories eaten in the evening according to studies, if I have to give up a meal or eat less during a time of day, dinner is the hardest meal to give up or eat less of. It’s easier to replace breakfast with a tea, coffee, or even a 200 calorie smoothie. I stopped eating breakfast two weeks ago and I’ve already lost 6 pounds. I grew up not eating breakfast and my weight stayed the same for years, but 12 years ago I started eating breakfast and my weight slowly climbed to an additional 25-30 pounds more. I finally decided to go back to no breakfast after noticing that coworkers who don’t eat breakfast tend to be slimmer.

Does anyone know who was the audience in this workshop? I had first thought it was other doctors, but not very sure.

The reason that it is hard to go back into ketosis is evolutionary: suppose there are temporarily cheap carbs available, like fruits or roots. Then the herd should eat them untill those carb sources are depleted, in order to store enough fat for the winter.
the buddha ate one meal a day before noon and recommended the same for his monks https://obo.genaud.net/dhamma-vinaya/chlm/mn/mn.070.chlm.sbb.htm
5 grams sodium is 10 teaspoons of salt. That’s a lot of salt to take daily unless one takes a salt tablet every hour, besides salt in cooking…
Wonderful talk! I always learn new things from these videos.
Salt, like oils, is not all the same. Instead of over-processed table salt which usually contains harmful flow agents, and is heated to over 1,200 F get natural, unprocessed salt. The high temperature changes the salt, making it less beneficial. Himalayan salt is a well known unprocessed salt with high trace mineral content but Redmond’s Natural Trace Mineral salt from Utah is also excellent. It has fewer food miles, and is more affordable, too. Both Himalayan and Redmond’s salt taste great, too!
And this is the biggest problem with the people who are pro ketosis, depending on which advocate you talk to you get told a completely different story. This Dr talks about eating cheese and drinking coffee and some nuts. Another very popular hyper woman on YouTube says NEVER EVER EVER eat cheese, nuts or coffee if you want to get into ketosis, then there’s the fraud who sells his own brand of coffee. No wonder the ketosis movement doesn’t get the respect it deserves, the top players in the movement agree on so little, and I’m saying this as someone who believes in the principles but am confused by the “experts” contradicting each other.
Interesting comparison by this critic of Dr. Greger’s assertion of Seventh Day Adventists ( https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-not-to-die-review#section1) Greger also raises the topic of Seventh-day Adventists, whose religiously mandated vegetarianism appears to help their brains. “Compared to those eating meat more than four times a week,” he writes, “those who have eaten vegetarian diets for thirty years or more had three times lower risk of becoming demented” (page 54) (30Trusted Source).
Reading the study’s fine print, this trend only appeared in a matched analysis of a small number of people 272. In the larger group of almost 3000 unmatched Adventists, there wasn’t any significant difference between meat eaters and meat avoiders in terms of dementia risk.
How come Greger is 7 years younger than me and looks 10 years older? He’s only 48! Must be all that healthy living.
Yeah, I too am guilty of jumping through weight loss plan to others as well, I think that I must have tested every single weight-loss system that was available, however eventually not one of them helped me to lose and maintain the weight off. I ended up trying for the very last time using the Custokebon Secrets simply because my buddy who told me great things about it and so far to date I’ve successfully dropped 17 pounds within 4 weeks!
I always like Dr Greger but this is a particularly good interview.
Great talk.. except he is misinterpreting fasting studies.. Jason Fung is right. Speaking from personal experience.
Great lecture.Only issue is sugar isn’t number 1 problem.Maybe when coming GB to cancer but saturated fat is number 1 deaths in America.
I love his eloquence and oratory skills. However wikipedia appears to contradict him stating 15% of fructose is converted to glycogen, 25 to 50% is convertes to Glucose, 25% lactate. Only less than 1% ends up as TGs. Doesnt sound like mitochondrial overload. Maybe he is oversimplifying it to make a point? Maybe that 1% is still too much???
I have always put salt on everything salad, soup, steak veggies even in my keno hot chocolate, never had kept flu.
29:00 Holy crap, if she was given the opportunity to kill him for a doughnut she would. She’s ready to kill for a biscuit!!!
My grandparents ate lard sandwiches during the great depression. My mother would always tell me to be thankful that we had butter instead of lard like her parents. Turns out lard is ok!
Great presentation with a boat load of fine tuning data on living keto.
I totally agree with what to eat: Real, whole food, not processed junk. We were created to eat vegetation and given permission later from God to eat meat. I eat things people ate before the industrialized era mostly.
Have been doing 24 hour intermittent fasting and around the 22 nd hour have been running 15-22 km, there is no drop in energy levels, it’s just amzing
Plastics, especially flexible types like in freezer bags, transfer a number of harmful synthetic chemicals to whatever food or beverages are in contact with them. Instead, try freezing in glass. We’ve been freezing food in glass, including canning jars, for decades, and only had a couple crack. KEY: do not fill completely, especially when filling with liquids. Flour, nuts, etc keep better when frozen but do not expand like liquids do.
Lean thin skinny people plainly do not think about FOOD or Drink often. Maybe. A little bit. Yet. If we KNOW we are NOT GOING TO BE BURNING LARGE amts. Of CALLORIES. DO NOT SNACK. Your teeth will SUFFER. YOUR STOMACHE NEEDS A VACATION from the digesting function. Just drink WATER every 30minutes. Good habit. Read books. Laugh much. Talk to your mate & FRIENDS daily. Do NOT TALK ABOUT FOODS. SKINNY PEOPLE Sometimes NEED MORE HEALTHFUL REGENERATIVE FOODS TO CONSUME. MUSCLE WEIGHT IS NECESSARY. HOW? Amino ACIDS. Proteins & POTASSIUM & magnesium & B VITAMINS. Yum. & TRACE Minerals in their waters!!
Thanks to whoever edited this video. The subtitled questions are a huge help.
Love his videos. But I can’t find answer to this question in them: If ketones test consistently between 3 and 5, what’s the proper course of action? More calories keeping the proper ratios, or more carbs?
Fasting? Can it be ok when trying to lose excess skin? Can you do a video on this? Looking for knowledge.
At 59:00, Dr. G mentions Sorghum. I made some last week. It’s as tasty as any other whole grain. I’ll keep it as one of the variety of grains in my diet.
This is one of the best videos explaining ketosis and a ketogenic lifestyle. This man is a genius!
I agree with Dr. Phinney about fasting. I read Dr. Fung’s book on Fasting and got myself into big trouble. I did several 7 to 10 day fasts during the course of a year and ended up with severe sarcopoenia. I lost 50 lbs of muscle mass. It took a whole year to regain the muscle by eating protein and especially leucine. I also suffered from refeeding syndrome after the last 10 day fast with arrhythmia and tachycardia (irregular and fast heartbeat) for 3 days. I was too weak to cook any food. I ordered beef curry and yogurt take out and ate it gradually over those 3 days. I then started to feel better. Dr.Phinney is right. Fasting can be very dangerous. Thank you Dr. Phinney. I now follow your Well Formulated Ketogenic Diet and your VIRTA website and blog.I live in Canada so I am not eligible to become a patient.
Wow this talk has so much useful information that I am gonna take screenshots of the slides for future reference. Maybe I’ll even print them off and stick them on my wall. I have been doing keto for a couple of weeks, but have hardly lost any weight and am feeling tired. I think I have done a pretty good job of cutting carbs, but I am probably still eating too much protein and not enough fat. I think I also have a bit of keto flu, so I will buy that vegetable juice in the stores that I have been avoiding cos they put 0.5g of salt in every 100ml.
I found this to be immensely informative and an extremely well produced video.Thank you!

I once blended olive oil and butter and out it in the fridge till it became a spread. Upon eating some, my brain had some kind of rush, and it was as if I had taken a strange drug. I never felt like that with any other food.
45:30 I’m highly sceptical about the carnivore diet and think it sounds dangerous. But I also thought the same about intermittent fasting and low carb diets at one time, both of which have improved my health, body and mind significantly and have gained vast amounts of research promoting their benefits.
How to explane this to sugar-sick people,who just not want accept that sugar is causing diseases?
50:10 is where the sciency stuff about how cancer cells grow.
I do not know anything about sports science or biology but 38:00 made it sound like this diets would make a super human
Can someone enlighten me if the natural fruits which are full in fructose should be avoided? Or, be honest, cut off?
Holy shit I was having throbbing headaches(which i never do) as I was watching this video. I hadn’t eaten a lot of salt, or rather I haven’t since I started keto a couple of days ago. I would get sodium mostly from chips lol, and then he talked about sodium. I ran down to the kitchen got a glass of water, squeezed some lime juice and 2 teaspoons of salt. And it was gone literally 2 mins after I finished that glass. Mind fucking blown or it could placebo.
Greger proves that eating vegan promotes the growth of long, flowing, beautiful hair…………..
Some people have said he is arrogant and condescending. I think not. Confidence in his subject does not equate arrogance.
Yeah, I too am guilty of jumping through weight loss plan to others as well, I think that I need to have tried every single fat reduction method that was available, however in the end not one of them made it easier for me to lose and maintain the weight off. I ended up trying for the very last time using the Custokebon Secrets mainly because my mate who told me awesome things about it and so far to date I have successfully lost 15 pounds within 3 weeks!
What’s the name of the book that he mentions he wrote that explains practicing this?
When bread is stored at refrigerator temp and not frozen a chemical change occurs in the starch causing it to absorb all the moisture which rapidly makes the bread feel and taste stale.
THANK YOU for contributing to our health without SELLING lies. Back to the roots.
Sorry to be an editor, Dr. Phinney, but near the end of your lecture that should be “eat FEWER carbs”. Otherwise, this was an excellent lecture.
Hey guys my journey to losing 80 lbs in 6 months with bridesmaid weight loss I reviewed the top products for me that worked. Hope this helps selfcutssystem.com
If we can have 2 more a days meal plan would help us soooo much. Thanks.
I’ve donated more than a million dollars this year 3:57… No one has ever spent so much of his earnings on charity… UNTIL NOW!
you’ve people saying keto diet is the way to go, and you’ve got carnivore diet is the way to go, then theres this guy saying plant based is the way to go,they all profess to reverse diabetes, weight loss, autoimmune reversal. wtf, maybe just cut out high carbs and sugar and we’ll all be fine?
How effective is Custokebon Secrets? I have noticed numerous awesome things about this popular weight loss diet plan.
“Guys?” Were any elite women tested? Different hormonal systems mean that your data may not be entirely useful to female fat-adapted athletes.
32:41 Jesus Christ! How is the layman expected to make sense of all that!
The How Not To Diet book is incomplete it focuses on food and not on psychology. The most successful researched fat loss regime BY FAR is the Bright Lines programme developed by a psychologist. The keys are 1) avoiding trigger foods and 2) Most importantly, a highly structured approach to eating that reduces the need for choice and willpower. Combining Greger’s ideas with the Bright Lines ideas would be a truly powerful approach to weight loss.
Hi! Tried Lchf for 3 weeks now.. first 3 days was a bit of a struggle, felt weak & dizzy. On my fifth day i did a 4hr bike ride.. on my first 15minutes i felt low on energy then suddenly felt a sudden surge & felt strong for 10minutes then felt weak again for a few minutes..after about 35 minutes i feel my energy is a bit stable then i go in riding felt good and never hungry until i finished. After my ride i take avocado,egg, &coconut smoothie then swim 2km 1 hour later. Im doing 24hr fasting once a week i think that helps for quick adaption.. can you help me guys on my nutrition if i wanna do longer training? Thanks:)
The doctors also gave me reseeding syndrome I was transferred hospitals and fed correctly
I had diabetics-2 for over 15 years and on metformin, the glucose was not in control. I exactly followed your intermittent fasting (16 hr fasting and 8 hr eating) Keto diet (high fat, low carb) food. In a weeks time I stopped all medications in consultation with my doctor. I got used to keto diet and drug free for the past 3 months. Your advise worked for me.

Yay! An updated vid! I really like this guy.:) (Prof. Robert Lustig)
I really enjoy and appreciate Dr. Gregor! Thank you Rich for hosting such a wonderful session!!
I bought the book and sold it the next day. It’s how “good” it was. I tought I had to pass this “knowledge” on. LOL
46:40 Actually… grains, all grains and processed foods!!! Avoid them when wanting to get pregnant!
I’ve listened to this 2x, Dr Greger has a contagious passion that’s so encouraging!
Not aging well “Coronavirus will not be half the US population”
With those case numbers and immunity being temporary at best, you can bet your ass it will be far more.
But hey, he could not know just how retarded Trumpists are I guess.
Love the talk and I agree with the whole concept and I love the delivery. But a small point; around 42 minutes when talking about the shape of fructose, it is not ionic strain it is ring strain caused by the fact that carbons in a 5 membered ring are farther from the ideal bond angle of 109 degrees than the 6 membered ring. The two hydroxymethyl groups have pretty weak steric interactions, not allosteric. And, seriously, hydroxymethyl groups have very weak steric interactions when separated so much. He’s not a chemist so I don’t care if he gets the first one, but as a biochemist he should have not mistaken the second one.
would have enjoyed the questions and answers section of the leacture as well. Sometimes the questions bring about some very interesting questions:-)
As specialist, I do believe Custokebon Secrets can be good way to lost tons of weight. Why don’t you give it a shot? perhaps it can work for you too.
I am on the path of cutting out more and more sugar from my diet. But this Dr Listigs research definitely has motivated me to speed it up.
FYI: Based upon a previous video he’s about 74yrs old and looks great and is coherent and driving global change. Definitely goals!!!!!
18:46 “If you heat the food again more fats and oils attach to the starch molecules”. So cooling and heating both attach fats and oil to the starch. Am I missing something?
18:00 “50% increase in CVD and 50% increase in all-cause mortality when you go from 4 grams [of sodium] to 2.3”
Source? Maybe I’ve missed something, but after a nontrivial amount of time spent searching for it, including in the referenced NEJM study, I haven’t seen any such numbers mentioned anywhere. Some suggested a reevaluation of the 2.3 g/day recommendation, but all of the conclusions were alluding to more research being needed to establish more appropriate values. Other studies point out an association of low sodium intake to the diseases dr. Phinney suggests an association to in this video, but those are made somewhat controversial by a review from 2014. An association between sodium and blood pressure also remains relevant.
2011.05 Fatal and nonfatal outcomes, incidence of hypertension, and blood pressure changes in relation to urinary sodium excretion (PMID: 21540421)
“CONCLUSIONS: In this population-based cohort, systolic blood pressure, but not diastolic pressure, changes over time aligned with change in sodium excretion, but this association did not translate into a higher risk of hypertension or CVD complications. Lower sodium excretion was associated with higher CVD mortality.”
2006.03 Sodium intake and mortality in the NHANES II follow-up study (PMID: 16490476)
“The inverse association of sodium to CVD mortality seen here raises questions regarding the likelihood of a survival advantage accompanying a lower sodium diet. These findings highlight the need for further study of the relation of dietary sodium to mortality outcomes.”
“Adjusted HR of CVD mortality for sodium <2300 mg was 1.37 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.03-1.81, P 033), and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.10-1.50, P 003) for all-cause mortality."
(he only study that seems to be suggestive of the values dr. Phinney is talking about, perhaps it is the source of his numbers?).
But:
2014.06 Dietary Salt Intake and Hypertension (PMCID: PMC4105387)
“A single RCT showed an increase in the risk of all-cause death in those with congestive heart failure receiving a low-sodium diet. In contrast, He et al. (52) simultaneously analyzed normotensive individuals and hypertensive patients from the same studies including Taylor’s meta-analysis. They reported that salt reduction at 2.0 to 2.3 g per day significantly decreased the risk of cardiovascular diseases (20% of decrease). However, in most studies supporting the fact that salt reduction increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases, methodological problems have been indicated (47,49), or study subjects were high-risk patients (46,51).”
(references 47 and 49 are to the two studies cited above, hence the highlighting).
And this is just one example, I suggest going over the whole paragraph goo.gl/y81ZA9.
Should be mentioned as well:
2012 WHO meta-analysis ( goo.gl/B4fy6d, pdf)
p.13: “The effect of reduced sodium intake compared with usual sodium intake on all-cause mortality was not statistically significant (RR 0.70, 95%CI: 0.44, 1.14).”
Anyhow, I agree that the 2.3g/day sodium value is probably too low, especially on keto, but based on what I’ve seen I don’t see any basis for making any concrete recommendations/conclusions. Once again, if I’m missing something feel free to enlighten me.
Edit: to be perfectly fair, here is the referenced NEJM and Mcmaster data, respectively:
goo.gl/v4O0Kt
“an estimated sodium excretion that was below 3.00 g per day was also associated with an increased risk of the composite outcome (odds ratio, 1.27; 95% CI, 1.12 to 1.44).”
goo.gl/Ypz3W8
“lower sodium excretion (8.6%; [HR, 1.19; 95% CI, 1.02-1.39] for 2-2.99 g/d, 10.6%; [HR, 1.37; 95% CI, 1.09-1.73] for <2 g/d) were associated with an increased risk of CV death."
Figure 1 forces me to conclude that dr. Phinney’s right, to the extent that 50% increase in risk are indeed gained. At which value they are gained is an entirely different question though. #TIL.
Help! Going into 2nd month. No benefits. Still 30lbs to go. Not 1 lb! Nothing. Thyroid, Lyme arthritis, joint swelling and crushing fatigue etc. Have read How not to die.
The best for a Fatty Liver ; take 1000 mg. of Chloline with Inositol with each meal you eat. Also take 2000 mg of “stinging nettle” every day to bring down bad estrogen and lose weight. Also Take 800 mg. 2×400 of “Lipoic acid” a day.
Sleep 10 hour every night sleep helps lose weight control your hormones and release HGH try to be in bed by 9:00 pm and wake up early and exercise for 40 minutes before you eat breakfast…..eat a low low fat and low carb diet, don’t fry, don’t eat any type of oils,no salad dressings, NO OILS!!

The Obesity Code: Unlocking the Secrets of Weight Loss Paperback – March 1, 2016
by Dr. Jason Fung ; http://www.amazon.com/Obesity-Code-Unlocking-Secrets-Weight/dp/1771641258
Choline supplementation improves liver function and improves cholesterol
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24368431
The liver is our largest internal organ (the skin is technically the largest organ) in our bodies. The importance of a healthy liver cannot be overemphasized. Americans have very unhealthy livers, with epidemic rates of liver disease, including cancer, hepatitis, cirrhosis, and fatty liver (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) among other conditions. It is vital to maintain the health of your liver throughout life.
The liver has two enemies: 1) fats, and that includes vegetable oils, and 2) alcohol and drugs. Americans eat a 42% fat calorie diet, and most all of these fats are saturated animal fats. Saturated fats harm our bodies the most.The real road to healthy liver function is to eat a low-fat, high-fiber, low-calorie, low-protein diet.Stop eating, or limit, red meat, poultry, and eggs. Take dairy of any kind completely out of your life, including low-fat and no-fat dairy products. Keep your fat intake under 20%, and from vegetable, not animal, sources. Under 20% is the magic number. 10% is the ideal.
At the famous Mayo Clinic (Expert Opinion in Pharmacotherapy) people with non-alcoholic fatty liver were given TMG with impressive results. This is intimately related to the epidemic of diabetes and other blood sugar problems we now suffer from. Many people have fatty liver disease, but simply don’t know it. The same results were found at the famous Stanford University (Review of Gastrological Disorders). Later at the Mayo Clinic (Best Practices in Research in Clinical Gastroenterology) doctors successfully treated non-alcoholic steatohepatitis. Anyone with hepatitis should do this program for two years. Please read the article on hepatitis in our library Hepatitis-C.
Doctors at the University of Virginia (Current Treatments in Gastroenterology) gave TMG to people with non-alcoholic fatty livers. They suggested this as a superior treatment to drugs, along with better food choices. Fatty liver leads to far more serious conditions including early death. The same results were found at Loyola University (Nutrition Reviews).
“Start selling that shit” hahaha so cracked me up. What kind of work do you do? I sell my shit.
I have T2D and intermittent fasted for over 2 weeks. I eat once daily 5-6 pm and the next day I check and my blood sugar levels are around 200-250. I watch carb intake and I don’t eat sugar. I cook vegetables and make my own 3 ingredient bread. I don’t think I can afford either of the 2 medicines he’s talked about to get the sugar out of our body. So what can I do?
Any idea where I can find Volek’s research papers or journals that this lecture is covering?
Thanks to the two of you. My two fav people. Please keep up the good works. All the best from Ireland
Dr Greger you nut it was no BROWN M&Ms. PS I would come see you before Van Halen.
16:45 Potassium on Keto (3-5 servings/day of DARK greens).
18:35 Magnesium on Keto (low mg= muscle cramps; supplement to keep levels up).
22:18 At least 12 weeks of continuously in Nutritional Ketosis before inflammation markers come down.
43:10 Relapse of having a day of eating carbs Feeling ill, body’s way of telling you to refrain from those foods.
This guy talks without saying anything or answering your questions
Artisanal vegan fecal transplant spas. I’ll invest in that. lol.
I never run out of bacon fat. Which is, as Taubes noted, almost 50 % MUFA
This shd be taught in schools why they are not doing it. The medical practitioners fear it will break their rice bowl. They are all evil. Want us to be sick so that they suck all our money
Can I just say that Dr Greger’s skin is FLAWLESS and GLOWING and AMAZING? Like is he a human glass?
Before I went LCHF my ankles would swell & I had very high BP. After 6-8 months my ankles stopped swelling. My BP went down, but I did not add anymore salt to my food even after I went LCHF. In my opinion it was the processed food & the table salt causing it. Because I did change to Celtic sea salt sparingly, it helped with the headaches I had having lack of salt in food.. So I think this can be different in everyone.
It’s important to get enough potassium when sodium is increased, especially if a person is consuming a lot of calcium too. Potassium is very hard to come by too, unless you’re getting a lot of green leafy veges like kale every day.
As one who has lost over 100 lbs twice in my life I can honestly say that when I was over weight I was not conscious of what I was putting in my mouth. People just let their subconscious habits run their lives. 1st step To get ride of those nasty LBS you have to be aware of your own behavior. I don’t know anyone that would consciously want to become Obese.
Idea: I carry Redmonds salt with me everywhere in repurposed mini Tobasco glass bottles. Keep in the truck or in your pocket, easy. Also keep Ghee in the center console but haven’t found a stealthy way of carrying. Also, eating shashimi will not use soy but mix lemon juice, salt & wasabi for sauce & I like it better!
Definitely looking forward to the mental health book. I really enjoyed this video and ‘How Not to Die’ is an amazing book!
Ok for centuries we ate mostly….????
Animals and seafood?
Vegetation?
I have a quest: if I complete a ketogenic diet for 30 days, will I be able to burn carbs more efficiently??
How not to dieSorry to tell you this but we’re all going to die no matter how healthy you are, the better question is how to live your life to the fullest without pain and suffering and live as long as possible. it Ain’t about eating a lot of these so-called fruits and vegetables that are supposedly so healthy many of them If we had a time machine and were to show to our caveman ancestors of more than 12,000 years ago modern fruits and vegetables they would have no idea what they even are! By selective breeding and gene splicing use of chemicals, we have learned how to grow candy.
Dr. Phinney has it all wrong when it comes to intermittent fasting, for thousands of years humans have had limited access to food. Fasting has been a part of our daily routine since the dawn of humanity. Our bodies do not burn muscle when fat is available to burn, i have lost 100 lbs on keto and fasting, and my lifts are stronger than ever and my muscle growth and definition have significantly improved.
I’m glad I watched this until the end. I just realized a few years ago that I’m not the only one who has those glitches, as he called it. I jumped in all the way but I do a vegan brownie in a cup every evening. I still noticed the sweetness of that roasted (plain) zucchini this evening. I was flabergasted. I was so happy also when I went into my garden and picked a sugar snap peas and ate it. WOW! I’m so happy now and it’s only been a couple of weeks. I feel so good now. It’s a little hard when I have to go out to eat with my 89 year old mother (cracker barrel, Bob Evans, etc.) It’s sad how those places have nothing but a salad. I’m trying to let them know we need more choices.
I’m glad I don’t go to the Dr at my age. I’m 56 and have nothing wrong with me. Yay!
The reason I started eating this way was because my mother takes 10 pills just in the morning because of all her Heath problems. Thanks guys for making this video! So much information.
I admire Dr.Gregor so much, he is just so informative yet he is so kind, I bet this pandemic has kept him so much less busy with no traveling, he probably has been researching, and maybe writing another book, I do t think he can sit still
Yeah, I too am guilty of jumping through weight loss plan to others as well, I do believe that I must have tested every single fat reduction program that was available, but eventually not one of them made it easier for me to shed and maintain the weight off. I ended up trying for the very last time using the Custokebon Secrets mainly because my work buddy who told me incredible things about it and so far to date I’ve effectively dropped 19 pounds within 4 weeks!
I have lost 42 pounds following Steven Phinney changed my life…I am 51 years old and off all my meds blood pressure,cholesterol, off of Hydrochlorothiazide which takes fluid away from your heart and your lungs for congestive heart failure no longer on any meds I am so happy please give this a try
Can you eat flax meal 3grams of carbs per tablespoon to get your omegas in stead of fish
Thanks Dr. Phinney… convinced and a fan, I also read O’Donnell’s et al, paper… and now your filling in the How To Mechanisms… helps a lot…
70 Going On 100…
Back in 2018, I devoured How Not to Die at the start of the year in a couple of days and began implementing the ideas straight away. I dropped 20lb pretty fast and by March it was time for my full health checkup. My GP took my blood at the session and lectured me on how I needed to lose weight. I explained what I’d been doing and how I’d lost some already but he was unconvinced. He seemed uncertain and asked if I struggled to come back and he’d give me drugs to help me lose weight.
Two days later, he got my blood test results back and he called me up and apologised. Because my bloods looked so good one of the lowest cholesterol markers he’d ever seen in a patient. My underactive thyroid had made huge improvements and meant I could come off the medication. He was astounded because he’d not seen any patient be able to stop taking levothyroxine after dietary change before.
Now, I still have loads of weight to lose, don’t get me wrong. I’m looking forward to that point for many reasons, and I hope that it will encourage my doctor to look further into this way of eating and hopefully that can have a positive impact on other patients that he sees.
I’m truly so grateful to Dr Greger’s work. The work of Dr Doug Lisle has really helped me too!
Dr. Jeff is there a doctor that you can recommend that believes in this process, one that lives here in or near Columbus Ohio? I’m in great need of finding one!
I just had water this morning,no coffee and took 2 Metformin and 1 avapro and my sugar went from 7.9 to 9.5 should I stop my metformin
What are your and/or Dr. Fung’s thoughts on Dry Fasting for 24 hours? Other are claiming the benefits of healing and autoghagy are elevated with a dry fast.
I am a mature lady..and often shocked at the obese young women who choose to wear leggings and white T-shirts!
Experiment with ketogenic diet for cancer patients sounds very interesting. Are there any updates on that?
But wait, all the indoctrinated high school and college students learn that race is a social construct created by the evil white patriarchy which causes these kids to join antifa. Until they get sick and then DNA is real
Theres nothing wrong with protein powder, this dude is spitting total bro science.
I have question the vegetables we eat are they without pesticide. my husband eats meat and he said your food is poison to as soil is full of toxins. can someone clarify this. or advise me. im 4 weeks on plant based eating. I love this way of eating it saved me in one way.
31:45 Seriously? I’m 21 stone, and I’m not hungry all the time! I don’t drink fizzy drinks, I don’t eat fries, I avoid bread/chips/cakes and I work 10 hours a day three straight days in a row on my farm and I’m not tired. What lies are you selling? Are you drinking milk and eating rice and chips before bed?!
As specialist, I do believe Custokebon Secrets is actually good way to lost lots of fat. Why not give it a shot? perhaps it is going to work for you too.
Can someone tell me if fructose (as in eating fresh fruit) is okay as long as you aren’t taking in sugar/glucose and processed fructose etc?
Wow, that is one hard-working Doctor. Thank you for doing so much to educate us on the benefits of plants <3
Can’t follow anyone’s advise on eating healthy.. when they look so unhealthy!
Dear Prof Lustig, your lectures are always mind boggling and this is one of them I was waiting for! Being a diabetologist myself and blindly following so called best practice guidelines for 28 years, I ended up asking myself, whether I am a victim or partner of greatest medical science scam that is going around! I still do not understand why Hippocrates old saying ” Thy medicine is thy food and thy food is thy medicine” is ignored by our medical fraternity. Believe it or not most of my longest surviving patients are on Low Carb diet, I am not sure about their fat intake, despite my advise to be liberal on saturated fat! I would be grateful if you permit me to quote and use some of your slides for educational purpose.
54:36 Shed a few pounds… get a one acre piece of land and work it every day… you’ll lose weight!.. yah fuc’quen reta’rds
Anybody that listens to this fucking corpse should be committed.
In my opinion, all sugary food & beverages manufacturers should be stopped immediately across the world and we should all practise (sugar distancing).
THIS IS SO NECESSARY. I find it always baffling how most keto communities advise on a high protein ketogenic diet for people coming from metabolic damage and diabetes without considering that both Carbs and Protein are glucogenic macronutrients. I try every day to explain the science behind keto in layman terms, this video has been invaluable to link to my viewers, thank you!
23:00 What was first, water or carbs? Seriously, two days your body would have been ready to do a bike ride with or without the test…. where is the dry run? I train people with two day differences so their bodies don’t break. Day one, 15 minutes, day three 30 minutes, day five 45 minutes… (one day for sabbath) day eight 1 hour, and then after that, day ten they have to push themselves, and they will do 2 to 3 hours of labor in what ever physical exercise…. therefore, this test is BS!!!!! Get him up to one+ hours of exercise before you do this quackery test!
Dr. Phinney is great. The Godfather of ketogenic research. And a true caring healer.
What is the best way to lost tons of weight? I read a lot of great reviews on the internet about how exactly Custokebon Secrets will help you lost a ton of fat. Has any one tried this popular lose weight method?
this is interesting, i wonder how the situation is here where i live, in sweden.
I’m so glad you teach sodium, due to epileptic seizures this diet is not knew to me, but hyponatremia / SIADH nearly killed me. As you know seizure meds dump your sodium which waste your potassium and made it so so much worse deadly debilitating and no one seemed to realize it. Wish all doctors were educated.
Im reading all the good comment, Can someone tell me what to really do? Im new to this and I really need help
You are specifically and exclusively an idiot. You are specifically and exclusively wrong.
For those Intermittent Fasting, it is reassuring to hear Dr. Phinney say that the 16 hour fast (and up to 24 hour maximum) is not going to do any harm. Considering that a 16 hour fast is only maybe 4 hours of being awake & on one’s feet, this is not a long time to be awake without food and thus, this should be most reassuring to those who do practice fasting for whatever purpose. Coming from Dr. Phinney and of course, Dr. Jason Fung, hopefully this helps to guide both your Keto.and IF practice!

14:00 OK Robert. I used to do cocaine recreationally in the 80s and I never felt or acted “addicted”. The 80s elapsed and I moved on. Cocaine is not addictive EXCEPT when the night is young and you just want to keep boogying. Once you succumb into the early hours and wake up, you may feel spent but you don’t go searching like “reefer madness” for more cocaine! That’s a CIA/FBI/WarOnDrugs/Made for TV myth! Sugar, on the other hand, is a whole different animal! It can and often does become addictive! As for annual consumption…I bought a 5 lb bag of sugar (2.268 Kg) in 2005 (legally) and I still have more than half of it left…and mostly (99% of the time) I cook at home from raw, pure ingredients…so somebody (per capita) has been enjoying my ration of sugar for lo these many years!! Which reminds me I should distill some whiskey!
Along with Dr Perlmutter, this amazing Doctor changed my life for the better.
I see lots of people keep on speaking about Custokebon Secrets (just google search it). But I’m not sure if it is good. Have you ever tried using this popular weight loss secrets?
Dr Phinney You arenl truly the best:) I’m in Korea, but I hope to get to attend one of your lectures in the near future
ASCO is not the right word to use in Spanish speaking countries…..for non Spanish speakers, asco means “disgusting” or “gross”……great talk BTW, as always with Bob Lustig…..
I read the book and I did the ketogenic diet. I felt great for the first couple weeks or something. I felt high energy and euphoria after maybe a week into it, but I remember a while after that I felt like crap and low energy and couldn’t train at all. I was getting enough calories, though I know better sources now. I did it for 6 months and was not feeling well or having any benefit. I saw no fat loss and couldn’t train. I was doing something wrong. I had very high ketones up to 7mg/dl sometimes. I recently learned about intermittent fasting and carb cycling and suspect one or both of those things are the missing part of the puzzle.
His points about eating whole natural foods makes sense, they’re more satiating and thus makes it less likely for you to overeat. You’re eating less calories. Fasting means you’re not eating, again this means eating less calories. So this still fits in to the conventional wisdom of calories in, calories out. His main concern seems to be about Insulin. I’m trying to figure out why I should be concerned about some insulin. The only way for it to make sense that I should care, is if Insulin lowers my metabolic rate. Are there any studies which show that insulin lowers your metabolism in a significant way? I think this is the most important point, but it’s always glossed over, even in 1 hour long lectures. I’m super curious and I want to figure this out.
Obviously a person should not be irresponsible when giving advice of any kind. And it’s quite possible that every randomized controlled study should include a dietary component when judging the efficacy of a drug. But why would you need a randomized controlled study for a ketogenic diet?
A person doesn’t need a prescription to buy Ding Dongs and Coca-Cola. Why would they? That’s their right.
What really makes this laughable is that there was no randomized control study done on the low-fat plant-based, low salt high fiber dietary recommendations doctors have been giving for decades.
It makes perfect sense to study drugs before giving medical advice that involves drugs. Most doctors know less than your plumber when it comes to diet.
What good is a dietitian trained in a medical school?
Dr. Lustig, do you have statistics for women, specifically African American women?
DR. STEPHEN PHINNEY IS SO AMAZINGLY AWESOME!!! Thank you for sharing your work so freely and openly, Dr Phinney. Much love and blessing to you, Sir!
Just let the doc talk please, u can hear the exasperation in his voice and mannerisms
Very informative, switching from constantly giving my body new fuel to using it’s stored energy which my body has tons of it helps me not only to loose the weight, but also lower my a1c. Thanks you!
So if fructose is like alcohol why dont you preach against alcohol too Prof Lustig?
If its ok to drink a glass of wine per day why is it not ok to eat the same amount of sugar per day?
This might be a dumb question but what book does he refer to in this presentation?
Am amazed reading comments with people arguing with his facts. They have no research or data to base their arguments but have decided opinion is fact. Let’s give credit where it’s due, when research has been done and facts presented, it is better to listen, learn and do better than argue based on here say. In my case, ignorance is not bliss, now that I know better, I will do better.
There are a lot of drs too lazy to explain, or too ignorant. It is a shocking situation. The wrong message was sent out for 60 years. Fat in the food is the danger!! NO It is the sugar which makes the fat danger. Whole healthy grains? Cornflakes? NO Eat fat and veg cut out carbs
Intermittent Fasting with low carb has helped me retain my weight loss of over 50lbs for 1 1/2 year, plus I feel great.
In my 1970 edition of Dr. Atkin’s diet book Dr. Atkins said, “either you’re in lipolysis or glycolysis”, and I’ve used that since the late 1980’s to eat less often. The holidays is my Glycolysis Season…non-stop grazing. ha!
how long does it take, on average, to get back into ketosis, if you are keto adapted but eat more carbs than you should and are thrown out of it?
A lot of new revolutionary thoughts about dangers of sugar. Awesome stuff!
Still it looks like sugar alone does not explain everything, and seed oils are contributing a lot to the disease side of equation independant of obesity.
Governments seize on the coronavirus as the big public health problem, because it makes for good optics. There is this “enemy” that we can be at war with, the virus. Who should be the enemy when it comes to metabolic syndrome? The fast food industry? Can’t have that! And the virus enemy can (only?) be defeated by a Big Pharma solution, or so they say: drugs and vaccines. With metabolic syndrome the solution is a better diet, putting control in the hands of the people, with no big money going to Big Pharma. Can’t have that either!
Dr Joel Wallack told that the bubbles in softdrinks are THE ENEMY they are CARBON and subsequently dilute the stomack acid and lessens the stomacks ability to melt food, and this IS A MAYOR FACTOR IN ALL Diseases.
A while back they took out all the trans-fat and the world got fatter. Explain that me.
I sent this link to a good friend whose doctors say there is nothing they can do for her cancer except radiation to reduce her pain. I sent it before I watched it. Di not know you would be saying SHIT and FU. You could have not used vulgarity as some viewers are still sensitive to language.
I’ve been low carb coming up on a year now, have listened to seemingly countless quality presentations, have had my first CAC scan at 58, and feel as if I’m well adapted at this point; I haven’t felt carb depleted in quite some time. With having done all this, I find it odd how such a diet could be viewed as unhealthy or “dangerous.” As if the body doesn’t know how to manage its energy sources. As if humans have so poorly adapted through the Ice ages that it’s a wonder we’re not extinct or die within a few days without these carbs that we can only store a day or two’s worth anyway. How silly we are.
Mainstream medicine and public health are a disaster right now and need to be changed, but I won’t wait around for that. The right foods are available, and if you’re fasting enough, there’s no difference in cost.
The lean tissue loss is more the result of mytophogy and clean up of rather than actual “muscle loss”. As Fung would say, the body is just not that stupid.
“the illusion of moderation” Wow, such great, eyeopening points!
I’m addicted to listening to this nan! I’ve lost 11kg in two months fasting for at least 18 hours everyday. Before now, I did many things, counted calories, with the aid of a scale, like I was really accurate but didn’t lose even 1kg. Still keeping the practice!
Dr Vickers of the Gerson Clinic says that sugar does not cause cancer.
what is the length you should fast, I am so new to this and I am a snacker and I need a change on my habits
very intelligent man but not a great presenter, stutters and loses focus a few times.
IT WOULD BE GREAT IF YOU COULD PROVIDE A list of foods we should eat and a food plan to follow. or a link to somewhere we could get this info.
Carbohydrate metabolism created advanced glycation end products (AGEs) in the cells. It basically will caramelize and rust your body. It is the major component that causes aging in animals.
Bowl of sugar for breakfast, a carcinogen sandwich washed down with a can of sugar for lunch, a plate of fat for dinner, and a night time snack of sugar before bed. But it’s healthy because it’s fortified.
NO, BUT IT MAKES IT LAST LONGER… LOVE BREAD, AND, DONT EAT MUCH, SO ALWAYS FREEZE 1/2
On bone broth, a splash of apple cider vinegar during the cooking helps the minerals to become dissolved into the broth. Most of us are way too busy these days, but bone broth is pretty easy to make.On sausageours is simply ground pork with spices and salt, in natural casings. No added chemicals, and it is not cooked until we cook it. If possible, look for farmers raising pork on low or no grain diets. Hogs (aka ‘pigs’) raised on pasture is ideal. Heritage breeds tend to put on more fat than the modern ‘industrialized’ hog raised in CAFOs, but here again, diet is a major factor. We particularly like pork and sausage from swine raised on pasture, other forages, veggies, fruits and nuts in season, and milk (like waste whey from cheesemaking, or whey from drained yogurt (sold as ‘Greek’ yogurt). If you can find someone doing this in your area and buy from them directly, that is idealTalk to whoever you get your meat from about wanting the fat in your sausage (or ground beef, minimal trim off your steaks, etc).Ditto for bacon. Or, ‘pork belly’ which is uncured bacon. (Curing is usually done with nitrates and/or sugar).
No it doesn’t. What fuckin’ moron made that claim?
Like when that airhead bartender tried to slam “Colonial Vegetables”.
Fucking Liberals.
