    Dr. Tro's story is so familiar to me. I'm also a physician, I've worked out and have run 4-6 miles daily since age 17, I followed the Dietary Guidelines (I did NOT eat junk food) and yet I STILL ended up obese, hypertensive, and with a pulmonary embolus at age 52.
    I started Insulin Restriction Strategies (Low Carb/High SATURATED Fat/NO "seed oils", Time-restricted feeding) in June 2018. By November 2019, I had lost over 60 pounds, I completely CURED my hypertension, and now at age 55 I have ZERO Metabolic Syndrome factors (including Hg A1C of 5.4, HDL which is DOUBLE what is considered "good" and serum triglycerides that is ONE THIRD the upper limit of normal). I'm ALWAYS "in shape" (i.e., my fitness level does not "Yo-Yo" like it always used to my whole adult life), and I take no medications at all. Plus everything I used to live with which I thought was normal is GONE - no more knee pain, no more chronic sinusitis/"allergies", no more colds/flu (I used to get sick at least 3-4 times/year), no more low-grade post-prandial enteritis (what folks often call "the Itis").
    The simple truth is that medications don't even come close to providing the health impact which disease-PREVENTING lifestyle changes provide. Not having Metabolic Syndrome will ALWAYS be better than getting it, then treating it with medications.

      Scouts honor? Where do you stand with possibly having total cholesterol way above 200 with a history of pulmonary embolism? I’m not trolling; I really want to know your opinion.

    • @labynoe
      @labynoe 4 роки тому +6

      readysetgo Not worried one bit. LDL and total cholesterol are such weak independent risk factors that they don’t even make the cut for what defines Metabolic Syndrome (while HDL and serum triglycerides do). And when you look at the science, the absolute strongest data consistently shows a NEGATIVE correlation between low LDL and mortality. So yeah, I’ll take a completely fit healthy body free of any Metabolic Syndrome factors with a high LDL and total cholesterol over what I used to be (normal LDL and TC, but also obese and hypertensive) every day of the week and twice on Fridays!

      @@labynoe Thank you for a reply; my current doctor seems to be very far behind in that she doesn't even compute the ratio of cholesterol counts and I have PAD which is her reason to say I MUST get it below 200 because of this risk factor. It's difficult for a person without medical training to be stubborn with a very good doctor who is very well respected by her staff and the hospital with which she is affiliated. I'll just have to gently dig in my heels and ask for her patience.

      @@ultmiddle4991 Your doctor is telling you what we were all taught in medical school, and continue to be told by industry-funded "experts", which is the same thing I would have told you two years ago.
      To put it plainly, we were taught and continue to be given wrong information, and following that information is what lead to my poor health, while following what the best data indicates to be true has me more fit today than I've ever been since I was in college. LDL does NOT cause vascular disease, inflammation does. And we know that insulin resistance causes a high inflammatory state, the setting for inflammatory damage to blood vessels which are then repaired with LDL-containing plaques.
      To say LDL is the cause of the problem because it is found inside vascular plaques makes about as much sense as saying firemen set all fires because you always find them at the scene of burning buildings, and then saying the best way to address the arson problem is to get rid of firemen. That makes no sense at all. The answer is to identify and stop the actual arsonist setting the fires. And the best data informs us that the arsonist setting our "Diseases of Civilization" bonfire is our high carbohydrate/high PUFA seed oil laden diets as well as our insane meal eating frequency which has turned modern humans into insulin-production factories which will almost inevitably become insulin resistant to some degree at some point in life.
      I got control of my health by pursuing three targets: 1) Make less insulin (low carb/high fat, especially saturated fat); 2) Make insulin less often (time-restricted feeding); and 3) Avoid vegetable "seed" oils and other "factory fats" like the plague.

    I find that the best thing for hunger if on a keto diet is to have a bulletproof coffee. It kills autophagy but it does not spike insulin. That's what Dr. Jason Fung recommends for his patients if they find their will powder is declining while on his required 30 hours fasts that he requires his patients do twice a week.

Years ago I did one 36 hour fast a week. I drank black tea with a splash of skim milk and non calorie sweeteners. I was the healthiest and in the best shape of my life. That tiny bit of skim milk did not hurt my fast. We all have to find what works

    (17:36 - 18:31) Dr. Kalayjian brings up an insightful point that should be repeated often, whenever confronted by the calories in, calories out model (CICO). We have more tools at our disposal to count calories now than in anytime in our history. The public's awareness of calories is greater than anytime in our history. Yet, we still are experiencing a burgeoning epidemic of obesity and associated complications (i.e. type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, heart disease, etc.etc). Hence, something about CICO approach towards weight loss does not work for most people most of the time. This is not to claim that calories are mythical. They are a metric of something real. However, as the broad span of human history where we were relatively slim attests, it is NOT the tracking of calories which is pivotal to weight control. It is the consumption of foods that are 1)Not addictive and 2)Truly satiating that will ultimately lead to SUSTAINABLE weight loss and maintenance. This is the true efficacy of low carb in that, more than any other criteria, it most effectively meets these benchmarks by jettisoning most processed foods.

    • @alsaunders7805
      @alsaunders7805 4 роки тому +1

      Also the CICO model is flawed from the start. #1 is obvious even if you aren't a scientist/nutritionist. Protein and fat are structural components of your body,they don't all get used for energy production. The also get used for maintenance and repair and hormone and enzyme production etc. Carb are almost entirely used for energy production. #2 Calories are measured by oxidizing (burning) macronutrients in a laboratory setting. Fats have twice the calories as carbs and proteins if oxidized directly. If fats are converted to ketones first they produce way more energy than can be explained by the calorie (burning) model. Lots of long lasting energy from just a little bit of fat. It's awesome when you feel the difference personally. I really don't understand all of the science. I'm a layman (welder,equip operator, bookworm) that has been LCHC/paleo/primal for about 7 yrs now. I read everything I can find and pay attention to what my body tells me, N=1 experiment, ongoing. PS-life is an experiment, period.

But pop tea energy drinks etc snacks, I end up snacking at night because I'm so "busy during the day " so I snack at bedtime. Totally ugh. When I quit the pop, tea, especially energy drinks....

I also ended up with serious stomach bloat. Couldn't eat for days I was soooooo bloated. :(

      @rikwen96 4 роки тому +4

      You recognize that you are addicted to sugar. And boy, I know how you feel. It almost killed me before I could break the addiction. Start slow. Cut out the snacking at night. When you can do that, then only drink half of your pop. Start introducing other things. If you can't do diet drinks, then start doing unsweetened tea. I know it sounds terrible to begin with, but you do get used to it and as you get off the sugar you will be surprised that you don't need it as much. Then start subtracting more sugar from your diet until you are only eating whole and unprocessed foods. That is the easiest way to stay away from sugar. But you can break your addiction if you really feel the need. The sugar is what is giving you the bloating when you try to introduce keto. You have to cut the sugar before you can proceed. Good luck.

      Do you think you're addicted to the taste of your drinks/snacks, or are you addicted to the effect they have on your body? I ask because I, too, was so addicted to sugar from a young age, but was never able to stop that until my body became "fat adapted". This caused my cravings to be reduced by about 90% and thus become controllable. Before that I was a total carboholic.

    • @eclecticcyclist
      @eclecticcyclist 4 роки тому +1

      Sugary foods and drinks like energy drinks promote the release of dopamine just like narcotics, so you are in fact addicted. Sugary food promotes the release of the hormone ghrelin which gives you hunger pangs, and that's why you are snacking. Sugary food also supresses the hormone leptin which is meant to tell you when you've had enough, so you tend to keep on eating longer than you should. The answer is to wean yourself off that sugary taste, maybe by getting a different flavour hit like spicy foods.

I have not seen such faith from even the most devout religious people I’ve known.

    If you want to get rid of cravings permanently, you don't need coaching or therapy. You just need to go carnivore. Meat is food. Plants can be medicines but are often addictive drugs and often contain toxins that keep the body from absorbing nutrition. So people eating plants are often overfed but under-nourished. This is not an emotional/psychological issue. This is actual hunger. On a cellular level, plant eaters are legitimately starving even when obese.

    The dietary WFPB vs KETO split is caused by fat and heart disease. I have yet to hear ANY doctor say that someone with heart disease should eat a high fat diet. This channel has not addressed that issue head on either. It is entirely possible that a rise in blood sugar leads to high cholesterol, to my knowledge there is no double blind study attempting to address this.
    I 100% support getting a blood glucose monitor. After I got one I was able to get to reduce my weight easily because I could see what the problem was.
