I consumed 250 to 350 g carb per day with low fat, low sat fat, moderate protein. Lots of whole foods but some Cheerios, bread, crunchy snacks. Felt horrible and was gaining weight. Went low carb, higher healthy fat, clean protein, lost aches, lost weight, got off blood pressure meds. It’s clear to me that there are different paths for different people. What is working for you doesn’t make sense but I’m glad you are thriving.
Well.I am type 2 diabetic I was on keto for almost 6 months but as soon I ate some carbs my blood gulucose spiked so basically it didn't cure anything it just masked and showed some good results for short term.what I am looking for is increased insulin sensitivity not just bringing it down temporarily by eating low or not carbs.i am giving a low fat diet a shot now its day 5.today fasting glucose was 5.9 even though I carbs all day yesterday to be specific rice ,chickpeas and some pinto beans,salads.want to see how it works out in long term.one thing for sure its much easier to follow and extremely cheap compared to keto.e.g bought 3kg chickpeas dried for only £6 from amazon.should last for month at least .where on keto used to spend that much on just one meal.its good because rest of money can spend on healthy greens and fruits.
A month ago I became brain insulin resistance. I have read in internet that fat is the cause of diabetes is the fat, so I tried it one day without fat, only carbs and protein. There was no improvement in my brain. The next day I have read in internet about keto, I tried it and there was improvement from the first day!
Hi Cyrus. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as at 5 May 22 and as of that date I made a commitment to try, as best as I could, to get back to normal. I searched the internet and you tube and was somewhat disappointed with what I found. That is, until I came across this site. And because of my background I loved the evidenced based approach. Let me provide you with my lab numbers just to demonstrate my journey with some hard evidence. As at 5 May 22, my pathology readings were as follows: Fast Glucose 12.0 (mmol/L) ; Trig/HDL 0.74; Chol/ HDL 4.4; and HbA1c 11.1. I followed your approach rigorously including at least 1 hour walking per day. Twelve months later, as at 18 April 23, there was an amazing transformation as shown: Fast Glucose 5.2 (mmol/L), Trig/HGL 0.5; Chol / HDL 3.3, and HbA1c 5.5. My doctor was amazed and in his words "Just Astonishing". Let my add some added drama to the exercise. As at 5 May 22, that dreaded complication arose, my doctor said that I was at Stage 2 CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and he told me there was no cure and it would be downhill as of that date with only three outcomes: , manage the decline (which was inevitable), dialysis and death. At 70 years of age I was not fearful of death but I was not happy in relation to the quality of life. Here are the relevant pathology numbers related to my CKD, as at 5 May 22: eGFR 75, R-U-Creatinine 7.6 (mmol/L) , R-U-Albumin 35, (mg/L) and Alb / Creat Ratio 4.6 (mg/mmol) . It was all gloom and doom. Twelve months later, again an amazing transformation: eGFR 93, R-U-Creatinine 5.8: R-U-Albumin 10: Alb / Creat ratio 1.7 (mg/mmol). My doctor was amazed at the significant change and my kidneys were functioning in the normal range. As shown above there was nothing anecdotal in my testimony and it was all evidenced based. I hate to use capital letters but the turn around was truly ASTOUNDING. I decided to give myself a treat and had a nice coffee with a blueberry muffin! Oh the sweet pleasure of life, so many treasures abound, some lost and new ones found, and all accepted with small thankful gratitudes. Cyrus thank you very much for some really useful and evidenced based material. I hope others also benefit from your material.
@@Constantlyevolvingagain usually they don't answer, I have been trying asking participants this questions for years and never get an answer, I see that u asked 4 months ago. I found that people on low carbs are more forthcoming what they eat.
They are eating whole foods: think Buddha bowl with quinoa or farro lentils, beans, loads of fresh/fresh whole food cooked veggies and natural fruits, some tofu/edamame. Small amounts of nuts. Loads of fresh greens and herbs. Mastering Diabetes is their program. Look up their book (public library has it too). You will see their plan in black and white for yourself. I tried it out. Makes you feel amazing. I am not diabetic on purpose (everyone else is in my family). This is a lifestyle not a diet and it helps a lot of other hormonal conditions improve, too.. Thanks Cyrus and Robbie. Fantastic work you are doing!
Less than a week ago, my mom, age 69, was diagnosed with Type 1. We have been voraciously consuming any information we can find in order to help her understand and manage this new life she must live. This video has been immensely helpful in giving me an understanding of her condition and a means of helping my mom and our family deal with this disease. Thank you so much!
600 g carb per day? My blood pressure would be in the stroke category. I got off my hypertension med of 10 years by dropping carbs below 50g per day. To each his own but I cannot do more than 100g without joint pain. I used to eat 240 to 300 g carb per day and was gaining weight and feeling awful. Also at the same time, low fat, low sat fat, moderate protein, no cheese.
That was an excellent visual model of how insulin works in the cells! I have known for awhile that there was a problem with the insulin getting glucose into the cells, but I never learned (or was taught by any doctor/nurse/medical professional) that the REASON the insulin receptors won't allow the insulin to let the glucose in (insulin resistance) is because of too much FAT in the cells! Thank you SO MUCH! On 9/14/2020 you taught me one of the most valuable lessons about insulin ever!! From a scientific standpoint, it just makes SENSE not to eat too much fat (instead of people saying "don't eat this, don't eat that"). Amazing! Thank you so much!!!
See what I've been taught is that insulin resistance occurs because there's too much glucose to be absorbed by the cells so the receptors close.....not too much fat.
I did a ketogenic diet for 2 years (No cheating whatsoever, no more than 25 grams of carbs a day) because I had a horrible case of reactive hypoglycemia / post-prandial syndrome (From insulin resistance). It worked in the beginning but by the end of the 2 year mark it made my insulin resistance and hypoglycemia out of control...I would literally take one bite of meat and be full blown hypo within a 30 seconds. As a last resort I tried a high-carb low-fat plant based diet like Cyrus is showing here (I had to stick to just fruits and veggies at first though because starches would make me hypo) and I was having no more hypos after 4 days, that was 10 months ago and my reactive hypoglycemia is completely gone. I'm also becoming more insulin sensitive from this diet because now I can eat potatoes and I'm totally fine, no adrenaline release at all. If you're trying to decide weather to go keto or high-carb low-fat plant based because you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, or just for health in general, take it from someone who's been on both sides of the fence...The high-carb low-fat plant based diet is what works! The dirty little secret that the low-carb keto "experts" won't tell you is that low-carb diets actually increase insulin resistance over time because your adrenaline is higher than your insulin, and you body becomes physiologically insulin resistant as a defense mechanism. I had to learn the hard way, but thanks to Dr. Morse and Cyrus and Robbie I have my life back.
This is good to know. Thanks. I have also been following the Keto diet. High Fat and Protein, low carbs. I have lost weight but fat blocking the receptors makes sense. So just like taking Metformin & Glyburide for 20 years or so, the Keto diet would also make the condition worse in the end. I'm still going to do the intermittent fasting. It's one way to reduce the fat blocking the insulin receptors.
First I want to say I am in my second year of living with type 2 diabetes after ending up in ICU in a coma for a week with my blood sugar at 1500 when admitted. I took 10 units Levemir insulin (twice a day), 1000mg Metfomin (twice a day), 5mg Glipizide (twice a day) and ate absolutely no sugars, no grains and no starches during this last year and was totally unable to get my blood sugar in control. On a daily basis my blood glucose would swing anywhere from 130 to 500. My Dr. called me a brittle diabetic - never quite understood his meaning. I found this on UA-cam and decided to give it a try. I started on just trying it one day a week - what my wife calls it, "meatless Monday's" but also dis-allowing other foods high in saturated fats like cheeses, fried foods as well as my normal above diet. Within my 1st month my swings started getting much less extreme. On the second month we included Tuesday's and so on. I am now at the end of my 3rd month and Monday thru Wednesday eating nothing but whole foods on those days with absolutely no meats, saturated fats, etc. Conclusion my 30 day blood glucose average is now 140 - lowest ever average for me. I snack on fruit like it is going out of style - I even ate a small bowl of watermelon last night after dinner and my next morning glucose reading was 128. I want to thank you guys so much for sharing this video - it has really brought hope to me and yes I am going to continue adding another day of eating plant based meals and snacks each and every month - thanks again
I just had to comment on what you just wrote. I’m so happy that this is working for you. I hope your glucose readings continue to stay leveled. Be safe out there. :)
This would be me right now. I am currently on U-500 insulin and PLENTY of it. I eat 30 carbs a day and about 700 calories a day. Something is not right. I haven't had fruit in years. I miss it. I will get the book. I'm praying something works.
Wow,, this does go against everything that was communicated to me at the "Managing Diabetes" class I took. From unstable 130 - 500 to an average 140. That is a huge accomplishment. And you are eating fruit and grains ? How are you doing now ? I am eating the same way you were instructed to. Two boiled eggs for breakfast. No bread, for fruit just berries, meat that is known for fat... Ribeye Steak, Smoked Ribs ( with a dry hot pepper rub, nothing sweet ), grilled salmon, grilled tuna.
@@MasteringDiabetes could that also be what's causing the body to store fat in the wrong place? Both groups of thought could be right in different ways. High Fat low (bad refined) carb with intermittent fasting could cause the body to burn the fat instead of relying on burning carbs aka Keto while Low Fat High (good) Carb could also cause the body to burn fat as was explained
Of course there is confusion. That is the way mainstream medical wants it. Imagine if everyone had to drop their prescriptions. There would be chaos among the pharmaceuticals, medical and commercial meat, dairy and poultry industries. And big disappointment among the addicted general populace of the US.
My sister-in-law has a friend that was diabetic and on medication. She felt horrible and went to a holistic doctor. He took her off all her medication and told her to fast for nine days. She was desperate and determined, and she DID it! I am sure it wasn't easy for her but she went back to this doctor on the tenth day and he tested her, and her diabetes was gone. So fasting does work.
I personally have been fasting for 23 days. I drunk only water. I did not continue longer because i felt that longer fasting could be harmful for me at that stage.
So in effect if you guys or your family or friends were fasting for many days that means you or they were ingesting zero carbs and saw an improvement in diabetes right ? This totally disproves what this guy is saying about a high carb diet eh?
@@BerhaneKirosEmbaye-fn4sbby not being addicted to sugars, turn to a low carb diet and have strong will. After two days of fasting the hard hunger feeling becomes very acceptable. Think of your ancestors 200.000 years ago, that knew longer times without food.. We survived
These two young men need to take insulin to survive for the rest of their lives. One of them has his PhD in Molecular Biochemistry. This isn't a fad or scam for them. It's a life or death scenario. I would at least listen to what they have found what works for them before dismissing it out of hand as some comments below have. It might save your life or the life of a loved one. Just eat REAL FOOD, people. Food that our great-grandparents would recognize as food. Food as grown, in its natural form. Fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans), whole grains, nuts and seeds. Oatmeal, brown rice, barley, quinoa, beans - white, black, pinto, kidney, garbanzo, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, peas, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, etc, etc. Nothing in a box with questionable or unrecognizable ingredients or any kind of fast food. Just cook simply; boil, steam, bake, or eat a lot raw. A green salad a day. A serving of beans. Some fruit. Eat enough to be satisfied. Find some good condiments to put on your food to make it tasty. Avoid artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose. Find some sort of exercise that you like, even walking and do it regularly. The answer is so simple it's criminal. We humans no longer know how to eat for our species. Our taste buds have been exploited by the fast food industry for pure profit. We eat fake food full of sugar, salt, oil and preservatives and it's killing us.
Excellent video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (do a google search)? It is a good one of a kind product for reversing diabetes without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate at very last got cool success with it.
luna57 I am a type one diabetic. I have been following the Mastering Diabetes program since July. I eat 650 carbs a day. I went to the doctor today. My current A1C is 5.0% More importantly, my kidneys are doing well, my blood pressure and cholesterol is perfect, all of my neuropathy has gone away, I have tons of energy, my blood sugar levels are very predictable, and I have maximized my insulin sensitivity. I’m not saying that this is the only way to effectively manage diabetes, but I know that this works, very well.

After following an ADA diet for years with no appreciable change and after seeing "Forks Over knives", I tried out the diet you guys also recommend, and that was the fix! I had been getting calls and emails from ADA for years asking for donations to help cure diabetes, so I had to post my success with this way of eating to the ADA forum! I expected some serious skepticism, but instead what I got was attacked and called all kinds of ugly names by far too many replies! It was so far overboard it made me wonder if there was a force in place with a protected agenda...after all, who would "donate" to the cure if there actually already was a cure! After seeing the interview with the ADA official in "What the Health", it pretty much clinched my suspicions. It really opened my eyes to all these supposed "health" agencies who are sponsored by the processed, fast food, meat and dairy industries! Revolting that it goes on unabated and most people are not ever aware of it! Thanks for all you do, you are true heroes!
Your videos and information have opened my mind to a different approach to diabetes. I'm a family doctor in Mexico, who loves preventive medicine. It's a big challenge to convince people to switch to a more plant based diet because of our culture and honestly, poor nutritional and health education. I'm not diabetic but it runs in my family, so I try to eat a lot more plants and whole foods, almost quit dairy, and my skin is so much better (had acne), I maintain my ideal weight, my gut issues are practically gone, I have energy. You can really feel improvement in your body and your life. Thank you for sharing this information! And congratulations on your success.
NO!!? He's promoting plant based? By far ketogenic, low carb is best for pre-diabetes, type 2 and type 1 diabetics, as well as any humans. From what I hear. But, I guess everyone is different. If it works for him, I guess that's good.
@@scoobydadog246You missed some important points. He doesn't recommend refined carbohydrates and processed foods. He advocates whole foods, like orange with fibre, not orange juice! He stressed reduction of fats in cells (reason for insulin resistance) before increasing carbs intake. He also emphasized the good short term but BAD long term effects of keto diets (he himself learnt it the hard way). It's so easy and common to be SHORT sighted!
So fristrated right now...I am prediabetics, I hear about keto, I hear about intermittent fasting, I hear about plant based, I hear about suarless...wtf do I do !?!?! Im just going to stop eating, fuck it.
Nicole K. Actually did what he says for a week now and never felt better. It sucks and the cooking isnt much fun, but I eat lots of fruits and quinoa and salad and I have A LOT of energy. We shall see in a month Ill do some blood tests
I'd really like to know if this works for you. I was just told today that I am prediabetic and I'm feeling very confused and frustrated about all of this.
I met Dr. Cyrus Khambatta at a wedding years ago. At that time I was on a high-fat paleo diet doing lots of butter/coconut oil coffee and such, and thought I was eating an “optimal” diet from every book I’d read. I didn’t feel great, but I figured I just hadn’t been doing it long enough. When we started talking at the wedding, I asked Cyrus what he did. He explained how he was using nutrition to help diabetics have massive improvements in their health. “Oh, so you’re probably feeding them low carb?” I say. “Nope. Lots of fruit. Basically no fat” he replies confidently. I was trying to be polite, so I said something like, “uhh, ok, nice to meet you.” Thinking in my head, this guy is nuts and clearly misinformed. But being a geek for nutrition and biology, I talk to him more at the wedding reception, and he explained exactly how he repeated experiments during his PhD at Berkeley over and over and over again that showed that the very low fat test groups were the healthiest. I walked away from that wedding eating tons of fruit and roughly following the 80/10/10 diet (which he recommended), and have never before touched the degree of health I’ve had since meeting him. I was never diabetic, but since talking to him I’ve gone off of antidepressants and thyroid medication. This way if eating doesn’t just help insulin resistance, eating very low fat raw fruits and vegetables seems to be able to improve or cure almost any health challenge or disease. Since then I’ve also found the Medical Medium books, which echoed exactly the same things Cyrus found in his research. My health and energy are shockingly good, and getting even better daily.
My liver enzymes, showing a progressive fatty liver condition after eating Keto for 4 years, were getting to high. I found this site because 16 years ago followed 'The Mucousless Diet Healing System' and felt so wonderful on this diet I wanted to get back to that energy and started researching. So in January I started the whole food plant based approach. Didn't eliminate all the oil I should have until about 4 months ago. At 73 I have no problem with energy (I can work a 12hr day with no ill effects) and my total cholesterol dropped from 256 to 150. My ALT and AST dropped from 33 to 29 and 26 respectfully ... so I am on my way. I have a wonderful appetite, eat what I want from the plant kingdom and dropped 10 more pounds this past summer. I didn't need to lose weight, it just came off. Depression gone, energy way up, attitude wonderful and I love eating all the foods I restricted myself from for so many years. Do the labs ... know what your body does with what you are eating.
THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN ALL THE PEOPLE FOLLOWING DR. FUNG HIGH FAT LOW CARB MOD. PROTEIN. WHO HAVE ALSO GOT OFF ALL MEDS. MYSELF HAVE HAD GREAT RESULTS LOWERING MY BLOOD SUGAR FROM OVER 300 TO 122 IN JUST ONE MONTH. I HAVE FURTHER TO GO BUT HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE I WILL GET THERE. ON THE OTHER HAND YOUR RESULTS SHOWS ANOTHER WAY OF LOWERING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. SO I WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER. WHAT IF THE PERFECT DIET WAS EQUAL AMOUNTS OF VEG. PROTEIN AND FAT?????????????
@@margiemistretta8885 , I have watched videos from several different experts who use different approaches for T2D, all with demonstrable results. I think Dr. Fung's fasting method makes a lot of sense for helping to reverse insulin resistance but I also agree with the plant-based diet because, as this video illustrates, the main cause of insulin resistance is too much fat in the cells. Low carb diets work in the short term because you're lowering your glucose and insulin production but that doesn't solve the root problem. Not to mention the health issues associated with high saturated fats and animal products. IMO, the goal is to get insulin to do it's job so your body can process carbs and sugar normally.
@@margiemistretta8885 U can try it and find out for yourself whether this works for you. Think at most you will know it within 3 months based on your BG results ?
There's a lot to take in here. I was diagnosed with type 2 two years ago with an A1C of 8.3. I was stunned and angry at myself. I am a medical professional so I was familiar with some of things that I needed to do. In researching I found that there were some so called remedies that were wide ranged. I decided to not go on meds and to restrict myself immediately. After one week my morning glucose was between 95-113. This was with an extremely low amount of carbs. Over time that did improve and I started to walk more and bike some. Long story short my A1C dropped to 5.9 with eating low carbs. One thing that I found that I just can't seem to grasp is when I did eat carbs again initially I would always lose weight. I'd check my sugar and it hovered around 95-108. I kept saying to myself something is going on that I don't understand. One site will tell you very low carbs, another you can eat high carbs. One will say restrict carbs and it'll reverse IS and another will say it's simply the fat. I am someone that has a great deal of will power when it comes to attempting to heal myself through diet. When I restricted carbs for at least a year honestly yes I could tell that my sensitivity had improved, but not to the point where I felt I could eat what I wanted and see it go back to normal in 2 hours or so so I thought does anyone know what they're talking about? When I listened to this video honestly it's definitely with skepticism because I'm not easily convinced. Honestly I also wanted this to be true because I love fruit and have not eaten much for years now. I hear professionals say too much animal fat is bad and that one there has been my problem. I don't eat red meat or pork, but I do eat more than my share of meat. I'm seeing opposing views in the comment section here naturally, but what I need to see is what happened when they started to eat carbs. What was their morning glucose like and what was their glucoses after high carb meals? It's showing that it improves, but not showing what to expect in the interim. This need to be accompanied by how long it took to come down and what to expect along the way.
Yup, everyone claims to be dr. Online with cures. How many of these people are millionaires from selling books, pills, giving lectures, and signing you up for dietician advice. They all could be liars.
thank you, your comments are all on point with my thinking too....Does anybody truly know what they are talking about? There just so much conflicting info out there!
I spent 8 years trying to reverse my diabetes on low carb high fat. In the end, my insulin resistance became so bad no amount of insulin would get my blood sugar down to anywhere near normal. It was very frightening. I realised increasing the insulin was not the answer. Low carb had only ever ‘managed’ the diabetes by keeping the sugar intake to a minimum. I knew I needed to do something radical. Within 6 weeks on high carb low fat I had to drop my insulin requirement to less than half (50+ units to 20-25 units per day). In just 2 months I have lost a stone in weight. My energy levels, which have always been very low, are slowly starting to improve. I am excited to see what happens over time......
Alot of people fail to recognise that we wernt ment to eat all day 3 times snacking is worse. People need to learn to fast and if i did 3 days 5 7 then 14 you've never had appreciation for life after like it. God truly respond to those that sacrifice.
I have diabetes. Higher amounts of complex carbs really raises my blood sugar numbers. This doesn't seem to work for me. My numbers lower when I lower carbs.
@alibamford1986, keen to know after 5 years how are u doing ? I am a bit confused by what u say, you are diabetic and on low carb ie your BG spike therefore u needed more insulin, but when u eat high carbs which is normally high GI your blood glucose doesnt spike and thereby u needed less insulin ?
I received my first "normal" non-diabetic A1C test result! A1C 5.6 ! ....down from 7+ I did this using NO medications, just following a low-fat Whole Food Plant Based diet. (I actually wasn't even following the diet perfectly.) Thank you! thank you! thank you! for letting me know how and why this is possible!!!!
@@justsayin5048 Out of habit, I don't eat a huge variety of fruits and vegetables, but I try to "eat the rainbow". It's not realy which fruits and veggies I eat but that I eat them minimally processed and as whole food, especially whole intact grains.
I got rid of my type 2 diabeties by eating only meat, eggs and just drinking water. My 14 day blood sugars is now 86.4, A1c 4.6%, 14 day average blood pressure down from 167/86 to 108/70. This morning it was 94/61. I tried going carb low fat and it nearly metabolically destroyed me. Now I need no medications or suppliments and all health markers are amazing. Good markers can be acheived especially when young with a veggie diet but it will not sustain the body as we get older. Not enough quantity or quality of protien, and replaceing fat with toxic sugars for energy requiremenrs will bring on a long term health failure. Also plants are packed with hundreds of carcinagens oxolets and other toxins. Wish you well and good luck but would recomend at least seeing what the many carnivour and low carb keto doctors and health professionals have to say on the webb.
Oh My God! We have been doing a low fat, low protein and low dairy diet and it has taken my husband about nine months and I was skeptical the entire time but I have prayed for a miracle and we got our answer. This is the type of information doctors don't want you to know and especially the pharmaceutical companies and because they will be out of business. His sugar level has gone from the five hundreds to 92, 117,101. We exercise and that has helped as well. The low carb diets don't work. We eat carbs all the time otherwise we would have no energy. God bless you for making this video!
The problem is you cant do low fat and low protein at the same time, your taking both fuels away from your body. You must have some protein and some healthy fats and low carb, low GI no sugar diet.
This is getting me through my biochemistry presentation and changing lives for the better. Great teaching, graphs, role play, and personal stories. Pray you all the best.
I have been researching a lot on nutrition for the last decade but I now have learned even more and fill in some of those gaps that I was not aware of. Thanks for this amazing video.
It's great to hear the explanation of what causes diabetes It's unfortunate that most doctors don't tell you this but its not their fault because of the education they have received Thank you sir, i needed this for i myself am type 2 diabetic.
ALL doctors are responsible for keeping up with medical information. They CAN NOT expect what they learned in medical school to sustain them through out their medical career. Don't enable them! The 1/2 life of medical information is less than 3 1/2 years. If you don't keep up with medical information 1/2 of the information you give is incorrect!
I hope my identical twin sister will be willing to listen to this soon, or at least some day. She has had Type 1 Diabetes since we were 11 (16 years ago). She does a good job controlling her numbers, but she has a really hard time with her weight. It is so great to see this info about T1D because everything I see about HCLF/plant based mentions Type 2 but nothing about Type 1. Now I know that this diet will be great for her too. Thank you for all you guys do
Man I'm so confused now... I'm not diabetic but I've been doing a ton of research on the best diet for weight loss, fitness and longevity. There are so many studies that contradict each other. Last year I followed Dr. Eric Berg's "healthy keto" and it worked well. I lost weight and had more energy. But I didn't end up sticking with the diet and gained the weight back. I was getting ready to start the keto diet again and then I came across this video. I've always known a diet based primarily on vegetables and fruit is better. But I've always had a hard time subscribing to the idea that meats and fats are bad.
I can attest to this. I have Type 1 Diabetes. When I removed meat and animal fats from my diet, my sensitivity increased to the point where when I took my normal amount of insulin to cover my carbs, my blood sugar dropped hard and fast. I loved not taking as much insulin but it was hard to maintain because I don't have a doctor that understands. Without support, I fell short and went back to my old way of eating for my DM1. I will try again to get back to plant-based eating, but I will need to find a new doctor. This is very informative and should be looked at further to better help those with Diabetes.
This does make a lot of sense. Thank you. As a type 2 diabetic, hearing your presentation has switched on something in my thinking. I also don't believe mankind was supposed to be predominantly carnivorous just by looking at our teeth you can see what we were meant to be eating, WFPB meals.
Gregory Smith the famous child prodigy came up with the EXACT same conclusion. He studied anatomy and dinosaurs at the age of 2 and concluded that humans must be herbivores, based on the difference between dinosaurs that ate meat and the ones that ate plants. He and his whole family became vegetarians as a result. BTW his IQ is so high, it can't be measured He was memorizing and reciting books at 14 months, passed his mother and father intellectually at age 5. He started college at age 10 and finished at 13 and has been nominated for 4 Nobel prizes.
There are many pathologies to disease. Pushing a low fat plant based diet is the same as pushing a low carb... teach people how to listen to their bodies, to find balance, to listen to the whispers of inflammation, to analyze their digestion’s, teach people how to use a 20$ glucometer for goodness sake instead of pushing a one sided way of eating. Look at all the ex-vegetarians and ex-vegans.... clearly you can also promote inflammation on a WFPB diet. THINK people stop listening to a one size fits all anything !!
Okay, I thought all carbs were off limits but after visiting your website and looking at the recipes the whole food carbs are ok in moderation. My doctor could only tell me to try the Mediterranean diet to see if that would help, which talked about the fish, olive oil, and the “healthy fats”. I’m glad you explained it. Thank you
I lost 70 lbs low carb high fat,With no extra exercise.I also have improved my insuline sensitivity and have a loundry list of proublems that have all but disapeared.Like carple tunnel back pain and reflux.I'm not saying that you're all wrong but I'm not alone in these kind of results.I have mantained for three years .Every two weeks I have a cheat day and eat whatever I want, I usaully get sick on these days from being a pig,but have found my tolorance for junk is going down. I always want to go back because I feel bad and crave a more healthy diet.
Nice to know this guy has these results. My situation is the complete opposite. I never really ate processed food and have found legumes and fruit starch and most veggies makes me seriously sick. I really only manage to feel better and have better glucose response to eating a predominately meat and fish and nuts diet with the usual brassicas from time to time.
I've watched other videos about IR but so far this was most down to earth and informative. Thank you for sharing. I'm convinced that we should say "meat" rather than "protein" since leafy green have proteins as well. Also, specify between simple and complex carbs (may need to describe foods in each) rather than just "carbohydrates ."
My story is very similar to yours. About a month ago, after weeks of being sick I took myself to student health and while doing blood work they found my blood sugar was around 300. Like you, they admitted me and I was diagnosed with diabetes. I am 21 years old, a junior in college, 12 hours from home, and I was aboslutley terrified. Three weeks of low carb and my BS was still hanging around 300. I watched What The Health the other night and decided to go vegan. I'm four days in and I have honestly never felt better and I hope this feeling never goes away. I don't eat that many carbs. Around 200-250, but my blood sugar has been between 115-140, and it hasn't really been below 200 in the past month. I love this. It realy works. This information is CRUCIAL to the diabetes world.
Vegan is a terrible diet and not sustainable long term. I was vegetarian 2 years then vegan 2 years and after 6 months I had no energy never, it really messes with hormones.
I reversed my type 2 diabetes with this diet! (a vegan whole-food-based diet) I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of 18, now I am 27 years old. I found this video 4 months ago and also the book by Dr.Neal Barnard, and it had helped me a lot. I have tried many kinds of diets and when I turned to a whole food vegan diet, I found that in 2 months my blood glucose was well within range and I could eat a lot more unprocessed carbs and fruits without a spike in my sugar levels. I found that fruits did spike my sugar level but not to extremes when I ate just fruit, but while eating fruits with other vegetables like cucumber and tomatoes it did not have much impact on my sugar levels. Before I was on Metformin but now I am completely off from all my meds, and my HBA1C is 5.7, HDL and LDL levels are normal but my Iron, Vitamin B12 and vitamin d levels are little low, So I have taken an appointment with a nutritionist for next week, hopefully, I can find a resolution for this. Very important before going on this diet for diabetics : Please contact your doctor and consult a nutritionist. It is very easy to find videos on this diet from influencers who might give wrong advise unknowingly, I have seen many influencers go on a vegan diet do it wrongly and facing the consequences. Your blood glucose will drastically reduce when on this diet, so if you are on insulin or other meds you will face hypoglycemia(life-threateningly low sugar level), At the beginning of this diet I did the stupid mistake of not telling my doctor and I faced this problem after which she did an HBA1C test and adjusted my meds eventually taking them off.
@@nizamansari569 Same question: what about long term consequences ? I read a testimony of a guy coming back to normal food for aa while, and his FBS was worse than before the diet...
@@NinorahDeux unlikely to get an answer from people who are on this diet, can see better response to such question from other dietaty interventions... that is my experience so far.
Where do I begin, these guys are awesome and I eat through an ordering app with some food from mastered by these guys. Love the food and choices and slowly it surely reversing my insulin resistance! Thank you 🙏
Cyrus my friend, my Brother. Its been almost a year that we talked from Skype. I was diagnosed with Prediabetes/Insulin resistance last year. I follow the diet. Eating fruits and vegetables. Legumes for protein, Oats and Chia seeds. After 3 months my sugar was 115 max. After fasting 2 times for 24 hours i cure my body. Its been almost a year now. My morning blood sugar are 70-76. After 1 hour 90-95 and after 2 hours 73-85 max. I don't see 100 whatever i eat. Now i am eating more foods than before. I don't eat junk foods, no processed foods, no meat or dairy. I want to thank you for helping me get my life back. I also healed my body from Adissons decease symptoms. Low fat diet is the way to go. I was eating 5-8% fat when i was in my low fat diet. After curing my self i am eating 20-25% fat each day. ps: I don't know why all those Naturopaths say the opposite. I followed before a naturopaths diet and my blood sugar was the same and even worse.
As a Type 1 diabetic I can testify that he is absolutely correct. Fat causes insulin resistance. Any diabetic should eat a low fat, high carb, whole food, plant based diet. I did a low carb higher fat diet for years and I did have stable blood sugar. But anytime I ate any form of carbohydrate my blood sugar was uncontrollable. NOW I eat tons of fruit, potatoes, whole grains, beans and veggies. My blood sugar is stable, predictable and in a normal range. I have incredible energy and feel amazing. If you have diabetes do yourself a favor and eat a whole food, plant based, low fat diet. Your body will thank you.
I'm trying to find the easiest and best ways to turn my true2go into a vaporizer , I'm not diabetic , just gifted with seizures , and so far it has helped , any ideas ?
May I offer a suggestion....when someone from the audience says something, please repeat it into the microphone, or have a microphone close to them so we can hear what they are saying....it's like getting half the message.
These men are Type 1 diabetics, meaning their bodies do not produce enough insulin, if they did not take insulin, they would not be able to keep weight on and would waste away and die. There is no shame in a Type 1 diabetic taking insulin, they can regulate their weight by how much insulin they take. If for some reason you wanted to take less insulin as a Type 1 diabetic, you would have to eat a high carb diet in order to keep your insulin levels high so you could maintain a healthy weight because carbs spike your insulin. This is why carbs as a primary energy source for a Type 1 diabetic works for them. Type 2 diabetics have too much insulin which often leads to insulin resistance. This is why they gain weight and then its hard for them to take the weight off. They must lower their insulin levels and make their bodies use fat as their primary energy source. This is why a low carb diet works for Type 2 diabetics. Now we must differentiate the carbs. There are bad carbs and good carbs. Bad carbs are breads, pasta, starchy vegetables, etc. Good carbs are vegetables, fruits, beans etc. Bad carbs should be avoided as much as possible by everyone regardless if they have diabetes or not but type 1 diabetics can eat everything (good carbs and bad carbs) in moderation and depending on how much insulin they are taking maintain a healthy weight. Type 2 diabetics should really cut out as much bad carbs as possible and eat everything else in moderation, especially fruit in moderation because its high in sugar which also spikes insulin. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are opposites of eachother and trying to treat them both with the same diet will not work.
I think you should edit and specify which fruits, vegs, bean types (Peas Green Pinto refried black) etc are good and bad. thanks give an example of a smoothy
Also to point out for type 2 folks. Make sure you’re eating the right fruits. Stay away from things like grapes due to the fact they have very little fibre. This spike sugar and insulin quickly. Fruits like apples and watermelon have a lot of fibre and there for have very low glycemic loads. Knowing the difference between glycemic index and load is very important to what one can eat.
actually, I am a low carb type 1 diabetic and low carb is defiantly the best for my body. (: I most definitely can’t eat whatever I want, and I’m really glad I started eating low carb.
Thank you so much for explaining this. I’m studying to become a nurse and I’m suffering with insulin resistance myself. I did the Keto diet and a low carb diet and my recent blood work (about a week ago) came back not so great. Specifically my Lcl cholesterol and kidneys. I didn’t know what to do because I’ve been “dieting” for many years. Watching this really allowed me to understand what I need to do to become a healthier person. I’m going to change my diet and hopefully things will change for the better ❤️
Much relief after going through this stuff ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually helps bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 10. That was 23 years ago. Previously, nobody in my family had diabetes of any type, but after i fell ill, my sister's younger son was also diagnosed with it 2 years later. 3 years ago, her older son got ill as well and he was 24 years old, when he got type 1 diabetes. Now, the reason why I brought it up were the events that occurred right before each of us got sick. I had a riding accident, my sister's younger son was hit by a car and her older son had a motorcycle accident. Roughly 2-3 weeks after these events took place, we all started to show the symptoms: thirst, stomach pain, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, headaches. My mother thought it was stomach flu at first, but when results came in I was hospitalized right away. When my sister's younger and older sons started showing the symptoms, we already knew to be suspicious. So it got me thinking, if the stress from these events (possible adrenaline rush) could have triggered the diabetes? While I was in hospital I had met 2 more patients (girls) who also had developed type 1 diabetes and they also had scary events happening right prior ( a dog attack and nasty fall from a tree). I guess I was wondering if You had any scary, stressful events happening prior your endocrine systems going haywire?
If you are in an accident, a fire , etc, or some other extremely stressful situation that causes your adrenaline to get out of control, sometimes the hospital will administer steroids. (Like Prednisone, etc) and based on my experience I believe the steroids can damage your pancreas resulting in the need to administer insulin with possibility of diabetes as a consequence.
I broke my leg and crushed my foot in an excavating accident. Within 4 months I had raging diabetes. The orthopedic surgeon said that he had read military medical magazines where soldiers who had experienced road side bombs and suffered shattered bones and limb losses had also come down with full blown diabetes within a few months, and there was no previous symptoms of diabetes. He thought that the bone trauma might have triggered an immune response from marrow escaping into the blood system.
You could be right a Dr. Hamer says that all diseases are caused by emotional shock. In my live that was several times the case. Diet can help to heal faster.
Helluminati well I'm starting to have symptoms and I was in a car accident and I fractured my wrist about seven months before the symptoms started... So reading your comment has me really wondering if that could be the case... Okay time to chill and smoke a bowl oh and go to the gym
Sir it's great to hear from you.. Kind of inspiration for me since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 1 year ago... I would love to hear some latest updates from you sir.. I am 34 from north eastern part of India
This is sooo informative. I am on low fat diet but thought chicken was pretty good and just needed to eliminate red meat, carbs, especially fruits which I love. I'm starting more exercise and will consider this info. I am prediabetic, but not for long.
@@MasteringDiabetes Whilst Finnish Diabetes Association arranges e.g. bus trips to eat smoked & heavily salted lamb (!) your message is now heard in Finland 🇫🇮 -As a lifestyle medicine practicing physician I shared this presentation to FALM (Finnish Association of Lifestyle Medicine) members. Officials won't make needed changes to recommendations. They promote dairy, birds, fish and even eggs on the table no matter the science. For now, we have to help one person at the time. Patients do change their ways, when they get the informaation why and how. Thank you so much for all you do!
Great presentation. I’ve been WFPB for nearly 3yrs and very hard to lose weight because I have a taste for fat containing vegan foods- nuts, nutmilk, avocados. Super hard to eat 15%. But agree it’s the best way to go. Thankfully not prediabetic etc
Great presentation guys and I love your energy and positive attitude. The gig with explaining the insulin resistance process with the attendants was awesome! Plants for the win :)
My brother got a flu shot which caused type 1 diabetes. He was unaware his symptoms warranted a visit to a doctor and went into ketoacidosis 3 days later. Unfortunately he hasn't grasped this information. I recently changed my diet and have gone from 260 lbs to 225 in 5-6 weeks. I'm sure I have insulin resistance due to various symptoms. Since the diet change I haven't had daily migraines, my feet used to be numb and tingly, now it's just my toes, my neck had thick bumpy dark skin which has almost resolved. I have much more energy and feel great now.
I've been type 2 diabetic for about 30 years. Have been following keto for the last couple of days. I didn't have to take insulin or Metformin, by numbers were 85-122
But you’re making your disease worse long term?! At least by eating Whole Foods plant based we are healing our metabolism, not breaking it further. I tried keto. Google pancreatitis. No f’n thanks. Keto sucks.
Everyone is different, chose what works best for you. I went the keto route after years of uncontrolled a1c. Within a week my blood sugar was down to 119 and 0 insulin and down to 500mg of metformin (from 2000mg)
A good way to clog up arteries and increase intromyellerceller lipid and now is scientific proof that keto diet increase in all causes mortality of death. Every human as red blood cell and you do not think so 🤔 red blood cells can not run on ketones body's but only run on glucose. Red blood cell carry rich nutrients like iron and oxygen not for the heart to to move and have a regular heartbeat in the long term.
High fat low carb is what is keeping my blood sugar low and I'm losing weight. I am type 2. Very confused because this seems like it would do the opposite.
You are treating the symptoms (effectively), but your underlying problem remains. You are still type 2. This guy is treating the underlying problem. His clients are no longer type 2.
I lost weight following a low carb high fat diet, at first. Yet now i am gaining weight and do not lose weight and i find that i became jnsulin resistant. I am confused by all the different remedies too, but feel excited by the notion of eating fruit and veggies...soooo, i am going to try it. I feel inflamed and know that it is caused by diet.
I'm 43. Became type 2 at age 37. I haven't done anything to better it besides just using metformin in the past year. My sugars regularly measure 300 and up. I'm finally trying to pay attention because I feel awful. Its caught up up me physically. Low energy wanting to sleep all the time, moodiness and my anxiety disorder that I've had 20 years is worse than ever. I'm at a breaking point. I need help
@@natep9997 You are doing the right thing! Stay with it because things do get better. I started my health journey on April 1st of this year, in just over two months I've lost 18lbs, have more energy throughout the day, rarely wanting to nap off and on like I was doing, which helps you to get a better night's sleep without getting up to pee many times during the night. Aches and pains starting to fade, life is so much better👍😊
Every body is different what works for you may not work for others. Carbohydrates spiked my blood sugar (fruit and grain not processed) and fat lowers my blood sugar. 😊
What blood type are you? I don’t think too that this is a one size fits all. I think different people require different approach based on varying things. Also confused because this goes completely against what some of our well known doctors on YT are saying.. I think there needs to be moderation/balance in everything.
Thank God for you. Im having VSG in aprox 4 weeks. I want to live. I hate 2k mg Metformin, 20 mg lisinopril, 20 mg Rosuvastatin, Onglyza & Farxiga @ 5mg ea, and more. I've become obsessed with raw greens as green smoothies and lost 30 lbs pre-op. Your information explains why I'm feeling that my meds are killing me. They are. Thank you so much. I'll be checking out your web page asap. God Bless you and your mission to educate regarding insulin resistance in America! ♡♡♡
@@MasteringDiabetes just read life without diabetes professor Roy Taylor UK diabetes fatty liver and last pancreas when pancreas has lost its fat the beta cells wok .
I’m totally confused. So we have Dr Eric Berg and Dr Jason Fung saying Fasting Kito diet and keeping carb low as possible keeps insulin under control and improves insulin sensitivity and now you have these two diabetic guys tell you keto is bad and high fat is bad (healthy fats). So what is it?
I think there are 2 ways that work - keto is burning fat for fuel & there is a heck of a lot of evidence that it is a natural capacity of human body. But eating vegan, whole foods, whether raw/fruitarian or cooked whole foods - no refined foods (either diet, refined carbs are bad, bad - they are fundamentally sugar without fiber) works also. Human body adapted to either mode & can change as required - perhaps because of seasons & what is available. The fat thing is troubling to me - (vegan) keto works for me, burning fat as fuel. Eating whole foods - raw or cooked combo, fruit, etc also works. But I am suspicious that low fat is not optimal. Obviously some people do great on it, but I’ve met enough people who do not that I am cautious. Dr. Michael Greger now saying that, say, salads without fat are shown to mean almost no absorbency of nutrients - salad with fats/oils make absorbency of nutrients skyrocket. And we all know there are certain nutrients are fat soluble.
Low carb or keto DOES control blood sugar and A1C, as he mentions when he says low carb diets do work. However, this approach fundamentally addresses the symptoms, i.e. the problem of glucose that is “stuck” outside your cells in the blood, because you have for the most part stopped sending sugar into the blood in the first place through diet. However, what he is saying is that if you address the insulin resistance itself by cutting fat, your body will be able to handle healthy carbs on its own (he isn’t talking about processed or junk foods obviously). The main concerns he and others mention about low carb, high fat high protein diets are that diets high in saturated fat tend to drive high blood cholesterol and heart disease risk, and high protein diets tend to drive up growth hormones such as IGF-1 that increase he risk of some types of cancer.
Dr. JASON FUNG says just the opposide and does not agree with a high carb diet with people who have type 2 diabetes. Maybe this is good for type1. This is a very confussing subject because I'm hearing two different theries.
Gin Kay The real key to both Dr Fungus and this presentation is no dairy, cheese, animal products, oils and diet processed produced sugar. Be nice, be polite, be kind...work hard.
Dr. Jason Fung centers everything around intermittent fasting. And fasting works 100% of the time. People have been fasting for thousands of years.. whether it be for religious or health reasons. It works. Fasting helps to purge the body of toxins. Fasting also repairs the pancreas. And not once have these guys mentioned intermittent fasting.
A high Carb diet is simply wrong for any diabetes ! Carbs make blood sugar so T1's have to inject more fake Insuline & T2's already have too much Insulin that isnt working ! Be a Vegan Diabetic if you like but you must know the Glycemic Index/Load of your Veg & you must avoid Grains ! Grains have very little nutrition, spike blood sugar & insulin. The term "healthy whole grain" is a joke !
Thank you so much for this. Literally the best, most comprehensive and complete explanation of insulin resistance and how to tackle it. Thank you, thank you!
Keto only lowers blood sugar because fat doesn't spike insulin. Whole Food Plant-Based allows the fat to come out of the Pancreas and people with T2D get healed.
Whole Food Plant-Based is superior, technically, it is superior. People who won't eat vegetables and fruit and beans and grains probably have to go Keto, but Whole Food Plant-Based is superior.
@Snake Plissken I am Whole Food Plant-Based and there are organic, non-GMO grains everywhere. The Global Burden of Disease Study put not eating grains in the top 4 causes of disease and people in the Blue Zones who outlive everybody eat a lot of grains.
@Snake Plissken But it is WHOLE grains, NOT refined grains. I was reading a heart study yesterday and WHOLE grains improved people's heart functions and refined grains made them worse. So maybe we HALF agree.
I feel you brother! My story is very similar! They don't teach you about insulin resistance and ph. Plant based is a way to achieve unsurpassed power, energy and mental clarity.
Thanks for that really clear explanation if why fat is the cause of insulin resistance. Penny dropping moment for me. It makes several things drop into place actually. When younger i could run all day with no food, accessing my stored fat and feeling good. 30 years later I know I'm insulin resistant and when out running, after around an hour I crawl to a halt. I can't access my fat stores as far as I can tell. To keep moving I have to eat carbs. The stupid thing is that my body is fat...belly fat is my nemesis. How ever little I eat I can't access this fat easily. I just don't lose weight even running 50 miles a week. I know my blood sugars are higher than I would lie and sure that there was a connection. Fasting bs be have been at 110 to 130 for years and years. I tried keto and Paleo and things just got worse after a couple of months of initial success. Gradually climbing to where I'm serously worried about my health. I found Dr Gregor and have been following a vegan WFPB for about three months but wandered a bit as I didn't really understand the fat issue. Last night I made my self a meal of rice, mango, sweet potato, chickpeas. Stuck some chutney on top for flavour. Bingo... fasting BS this morning is 105. I finally understand why a small handful of nuts or nut butter sky rockets my BS even though they are healthy. Thank you, I now know I can do this.

I consumed 250 to 350 g carb per day with low fat, low sat fat, moderate protein. Lots of whole foods but some Cheerios, bread, crunchy snacks. Felt horrible and was gaining weight. Went low carb, higher healthy fat, clean protein, lost aches, lost weight, got off blood pressure meds. It’s clear to me that there are different paths for different people. What is working for you doesn’t make sense but I’m glad you are thriving.
I wouldn't say it's exactly working for him. He's type 1 diabetic. It's little more than symptom management
so you still ate crap and expected to get healthy.. got it..smh
Well.I am type 2 diabetic I was on keto for almost 6 months but as soon I ate some carbs my blood gulucose spiked so basically it didn't cure anything it just masked and showed some good results for short term.what I am looking for is increased insulin sensitivity not just bringing it down temporarily by eating low or not carbs.i am giving a low fat diet a shot now its day 5.today fasting glucose was 5.9 even though I carbs all day yesterday to be specific rice ,chickpeas and some pinto beans,salads.want to see how it works out in long term.one thing for sure its much easier to follow and extremely cheap compared to keto.e.g bought 3kg chickpeas dried for only £6 from amazon.should last for month at least .where on keto used to spend that much on just one meal.its good because rest of money can spend on healthy greens and fruits.
A month ago I became brain insulin resistance. I have read in internet that fat is the cause of diabetes is the fat, so I tried it one day without fat, only carbs and protein. There was no improvement in my brain. The next day I have read in internet about keto, I tried it and there was improvement from the first day!
I love the keto trolls.
Hi Cyrus. I was diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes as at 5 May 22 and as of that date I made a commitment to try, as best as I could, to get back to normal. I searched the internet and you tube and was somewhat disappointed with what I found. That is, until I came across this site. And because of my background I loved the evidenced based approach. Let me provide you with my lab numbers just to demonstrate my journey with some hard evidence. As at 5 May 22, my pathology readings were as follows: Fast Glucose 12.0 (mmol/L) ; Trig/HDL 0.74; Chol/ HDL 4.4; and HbA1c 11.1. I followed your approach rigorously including at least 1 hour walking per day. Twelve months later, as at 18 April 23, there was an amazing transformation as shown: Fast Glucose 5.2 (mmol/L), Trig/HGL 0.5; Chol / HDL 3.3, and HbA1c 5.5. My doctor was amazed and in his words "Just Astonishing". Let my add some added drama to the exercise. As at 5 May 22, that dreaded complication arose, my doctor said that I was at Stage 2 CKD (Chronic Kidney Disease) and he told me there was no cure and it would be downhill as of that date with only three outcomes: , manage the decline (which was inevitable), dialysis and death. At 70 years of age I was not fearful of death but I was not happy in relation to the quality of life. Here are the relevant pathology numbers related to my CKD, as at 5 May 22: eGFR 75, R-U-Creatinine 7.6 (mmol/L) , R-U-Albumin 35, (mg/L) and Alb / Creat Ratio 4.6 (mg/mmol) . It was all gloom and doom. Twelve months later, again an amazing transformation: eGFR 93, R-U-Creatinine 5.8: R-U-Albumin 10: Alb / Creat ratio 1.7 (mg/mmol). My doctor was amazed at the significant change and my kidneys were functioning in the normal range. As shown above there was nothing anecdotal in my testimony and it was all evidenced based. I hate to use capital letters but the turn around was truly ASTOUNDING. I decided to give myself a treat and had a nice coffee with a blueberry muffin! Oh the sweet pleasure of life, so many treasures abound, some lost and new ones found, and all accepted with small thankful gratitudes. Cyrus thank you very much for some really useful and evidenced based material. I hope others also benefit from your material.

This is amazing! What do you eat in a day?
What is your diet like?
@@Constantlyevolvingagain usually they don't answer, I have been trying asking participants this questions for years and never get an answer, I see that u asked 4 months ago. I found that people on low carbs are more forthcoming what they eat.
They are eating whole foods: think Buddha bowl with quinoa or farro lentils, beans, loads of fresh/fresh whole food cooked veggies and natural fruits, some tofu/edamame. Small amounts of nuts. Loads of fresh greens and herbs. Mastering Diabetes is their program. Look up their book (public library has it too). You will see their plan in black and white for yourself. I tried it out. Makes you feel amazing. I am not diabetic on purpose (everyone else is in my family). This is a lifestyle not a diet and it helps a lot of other hormonal conditions improve, too.. Thanks Cyrus and Robbie. Fantastic work you are doing!

600 g carb per day? My blood pressure would be in the stroke category. I got off my hypertension med of 10 years by dropping carbs below 50g per day. To each his own but I cannot do more than 100g without joint pain. I used to eat 240 to 300 g carb per day and was gaining weight and feeling awful. Also at the same time, low fat, low sat fat, moderate protein, no cheese.
That was an excellent visual model of how insulin works in the cells! I have known for awhile that there was a problem with the insulin getting glucose into the cells, but I never learned (or was taught by any doctor/nurse/medical professional) that the REASON the insulin receptors won't allow the insulin to let the glucose in (insulin resistance) is because of too much FAT in the cells! Thank you SO MUCH! On 9/14/2020 you taught me one of the most valuable lessons about insulin ever!! From a scientific standpoint, it just makes SENSE not to eat too much fat (instead of people saying "don't eat this, don't eat that"). Amazing! Thank you so much!!!
See what I've been taught is that insulin resistance occurs because there's too much glucose to be absorbed by the cells so the receptors close.....not too much fat.
@@kimswanger7903 quite right Kim
@@kimswanger7903 what you knew earlier is correct; the visual representation is an absolute misrepresentation
I did a ketogenic diet for 2 years (No cheating whatsoever, no more than 25 grams of carbs a day) because I had a horrible case of reactive hypoglycemia / post-prandial syndrome (From insulin resistance). It worked in the beginning but by the end of the 2 year mark it made my insulin resistance and hypoglycemia out of control...I would literally take one bite of meat and be full blown hypo within a 30 seconds.
As a last resort I tried a high-carb low-fat plant based diet like Cyrus is showing here (I had to stick to just fruits and veggies at first though because starches would make me hypo) and I was having no more hypos after 4 days, that was 10 months ago and my reactive hypoglycemia is completely gone.
I'm also becoming more insulin sensitive from this diet because now I can eat potatoes and I'm totally fine, no adrenaline release at all. If you're trying to decide weather to go keto or high-carb low-fat plant based because you have diabetes or pre-diabetes, or just for health in general, take it from someone who's been on both sides of the fence...The high-carb low-fat plant based diet is what works!
The dirty little secret that the low-carb keto "experts" won't tell you is that low-carb diets actually increase insulin resistance over time because your adrenaline is higher than your insulin, and you body becomes physiologically insulin resistant as a defense mechanism. I had to learn the hard way, but thanks to Dr. Morse and Cyrus and Robbie I have my life back.
How do you feel now ?
Adrenaline is a completely unrelated hormone, I don't see how you associate that with a low sugar diet.
This doesn’t make sense. You had one bite of meat and it made you hypoglycemic? I don’t understand.
What is physiologically insulin resistant? How does this 2 relate?
This is good to know. Thanks. I have also been following the Keto diet. High Fat and Protein, low carbs. I have lost weight but fat blocking the receptors makes sense.
So just like taking Metformin & Glyburide for 20 years or so, the Keto diet would also make the condition worse in the end.
I'm still going to do the intermittent fasting. It's one way to reduce the fat blocking the insulin receptors.
First I want to say I am in my second year of living with type 2 diabetes after ending up in ICU in a coma for a week with my blood sugar at 1500 when admitted. I took 10 units Levemir insulin (twice a day), 1000mg Metfomin (twice a day), 5mg Glipizide (twice a day) and ate absolutely no sugars, no grains and no starches during this last year and was totally unable to get my blood sugar in control. On a daily basis my blood glucose would swing anywhere from 130 to 500. My Dr. called me a brittle diabetic - never quite understood his meaning. I found this on UA-cam and decided to give it a try. I started on just trying it one day a week - what my wife calls it, "meatless Monday's" but also dis-allowing other foods high in saturated fats like cheeses, fried foods as well as my normal above diet. Within my 1st month my swings started getting much less extreme. On the second month we included Tuesday's and so on. I am now at the end of my 3rd month and Monday thru Wednesday eating nothing but whole foods on those days with absolutely no meats, saturated fats, etc. Conclusion my 30 day blood glucose average is now 140 - lowest ever average for me. I snack on fruit like it is going out of style - I even ate a small bowl of watermelon last night after dinner and my next morning glucose reading was 128. I want to thank you guys so much for sharing this video - it has really brought hope to me and yes I am going to continue adding another day of eating plant based meals and snacks each and every month - thanks again
I just had to comment on what you just wrote. I’m so happy that this is working for you. I hope your glucose readings continue to stay leveled. Be safe out there. :)
This would be me right now. I am currently on U-500 insulin and PLENTY of it. I eat 30 carbs a day and about 700 calories a day. Something is not right. I haven't had fruit in years. I miss it. I will get the book. I'm praying something works.
How is it going now? For another viewpoint check ua-cam.com/video/V2523XO17xQ/v-deo.html
Would love an update on how you're doing now! 🙂
Wow,, this does go against everything that was communicated to me at the "Managing Diabetes" class I took. From unstable 130 - 500 to an average 140. That is a huge accomplishment. And you are eating fruit and grains ? How are you doing now ? I am eating the same way you were instructed to. Two boiled eggs for breakfast. No bread, for fruit just berries, meat that is known for fat... Ribeye Steak, Smoked Ribs ( with a dry hot pepper rub, nothing sweet ), grilled salmon, grilled tuna.
I think there is a big problem in people confusing processed carbs with carbs from whole foods
nt smith Why and what is the difference ?
@@MasteringDiabetes could that also be what's causing the body to store fat in the wrong place? Both groups of thought could be right in different ways. High Fat low (bad refined) carb with intermittent fasting could cause the body to burn the fat instead of relying on burning carbs aka Keto while Low Fat High (good) Carb could also cause the body to burn fat as was explained

Of course there is confusion. That is the way mainstream medical wants it. Imagine if everyone had to drop their prescriptions. There would be chaos among the pharmaceuticals, medical and commercial meat, dairy and poultry industries. And big disappointment among the addicted general populace of the US.
Where do u find the real carbs
My sister-in-law has a friend that was diabetic and on medication. She felt horrible and went to a holistic doctor. He took her off all her medication and told her to fast for nine days. She was desperate and determined, and she DID it! I am sure it wasn't easy for her but she went back to this doctor on the tenth day and he tested her, and her diabetes was gone. So fasting does work.
How can a person fast 9 days
@@BerhaneKirosEmbaye-fn4sb A person can fast 40 days and longer. Do some research on fasting and you will learn all sorts of cool things.
I personally have been fasting for 23 days. I drunk only water. I did not continue longer because i felt that longer fasting could be harmful for me at that stage.
So in effect if you guys or your family or friends were fasting for many days that means you or they were ingesting zero carbs and saw an improvement in diabetes right ? This totally disproves what this guy is saying about a high carb diet eh?
@@BerhaneKirosEmbaye-fn4sbby not being addicted to sugars, turn to a low carb diet and have strong will. After two days of fasting the hard hunger feeling becomes very acceptable.
Think of your ancestors 200.000 years ago, that knew longer times without food.. We survived
These two young men need to take insulin to survive for the rest of their lives. One of them has his PhD in Molecular Biochemistry. This isn't a fad or scam for them. It's a life or death scenario. I would at least listen to what they have found what works for them before dismissing it out of hand as some comments below have. It might save your life or the life of a loved one.
Just eat REAL FOOD, people. Food that our great-grandparents would recognize as food. Food as grown, in its natural form. Fruits, vegetables, legumes (beans), whole grains, nuts and seeds. Oatmeal, brown rice, barley, quinoa, beans - white, black, pinto, kidney, garbanzo, sweet potatoes, cauliflower, potatoes, broccoli, carrots, cabbage, peas, almonds, walnuts, chia seeds, flax seeds, etc, etc. Nothing in a box with questionable or unrecognizable ingredients or any kind of fast food. Just cook simply; boil, steam, bake, or eat a lot raw. A green salad a day. A serving of beans. Some fruit. Eat enough to be satisfied. Find some good condiments to put on your food to make it tasty. Avoid artificial sweeteners like aspartame and sucralose. Find some sort of exercise that you like, even walking and do it regularly. The answer is so simple it's criminal. We humans no longer know how to eat for our species. Our taste buds have been exploited by the fast food industry for pure profit. We eat fake food full of sugar, salt, oil and preservatives and it's killing us.
Excellent response.
Excellent video content! Forgive me for chiming in, I am interested in your initial thoughts. Have you tried - Patlarny Sugar Outcome Principle (do a google search)? It is a good one of a kind product for reversing diabetes without the headache. Ive heard some interesting things about it and my mate at very last got cool success with it.
luna57 I am a type one diabetic. I have been following the Mastering Diabetes program since July. I eat 650 carbs a day. I went to the doctor today. My current A1C is 5.0% More importantly, my kidneys are doing well, my blood pressure and cholesterol is perfect, all of my neuropathy has gone away, I have tons of energy, my blood sugar levels are very predictable, and I have maximized my insulin sensitivity. I’m not saying that this is the only way to effectively manage diabetes, but I know that this works, very well.

After following an ADA diet for years with no appreciable change and after seeing "Forks Over knives", I tried out the diet you guys also recommend, and that was the fix! I had been getting calls and emails from ADA for years asking for donations to help cure diabetes, so I had to post my success with this way of eating to the ADA forum! I expected some serious skepticism, but instead what I got was attacked and called all kinds of ugly names by far too many replies! It was so far overboard it made me wonder if there was a force in place with a protected agenda...after all, who would "donate" to the cure if there actually already was a cure! After seeing the interview with the ADA official in "What the Health", it pretty much clinched my suspicions. It really opened my eyes to all these supposed "health" agencies who are sponsored by the processed, fast food, meat and dairy industries! Revolting that it goes on unabated and most people are not ever aware of it! Thanks for all you do, you are true heroes!
> it made me wonder if there was a force in place with a protected agenda...
Welcome, to the 'real' world.
Your videos and information have opened my mind to a different approach to diabetes. I'm a family doctor in Mexico, who loves preventive medicine. It's a big challenge to convince people to switch to a more plant based diet because of our culture and honestly, poor nutritional and health education. I'm not diabetic but it runs in my family, so I try to eat a lot more plants and whole foods, almost quit dairy, and my skin is so much better (had acne), I maintain my ideal weight, my gut issues are practically gone, I have energy. You can really feel improvement in your body and your life. Thank you for sharing this information! And congratulations on your success.
Watch and tell me what you think of Bart Kay's analysis of these teachings: ua-cam.com/video/V2523XO17xQ/v-deo.html
NO!!? He's promoting plant based? By far ketogenic, low carb is best for pre-diabetes, type 2 and type 1 diabetics, as well as any humans. From what I hear. But, I guess everyone is different. If it works for him, I guess that's good.
@@scoobydadog246 There is no "One size fits all." Use what works for you
@@papazjose1274 I agree still figuring it out I'm not diabetic.
@@scoobydadog246You missed some important points. He doesn't recommend refined carbohydrates and processed foods. He advocates whole foods, like orange with fibre, not orange juice! He stressed reduction of fats in cells (reason for insulin resistance) before increasing carbs intake. He also emphasized the good short term but BAD long term effects of keto diets (he himself learnt it the hard way). It's so easy and common to be SHORT sighted!
So fristrated right now...I am prediabetics, I hear about keto, I hear about intermittent fasting, I hear about plant based, I hear about suarless...wtf do I do !?!?! Im just going to stop eating, fuck it.

Nicole K. Actually did what he says for a week now and never felt better. It sucks and the cooking isnt much fun, but I eat lots of fruits and quinoa and salad and I have A LOT of energy. We shall see in a month Ill do some blood tests
I'd really like to know if this works for you. I was just told today that I am prediabetic and I'm feeling very confused and frustrated about all of this.
I met Dr. Cyrus Khambatta at a wedding years ago. At that time I was on a high-fat paleo diet doing lots of butter/coconut oil coffee and such, and thought I was eating an “optimal” diet from every book I’d read. I didn’t feel great, but I figured I just hadn’t been doing it long enough. When we started talking at the wedding, I asked Cyrus what he did. He explained how he was using nutrition to help diabetics have massive improvements in their health. “Oh, so you’re probably feeding them low carb?” I say. “Nope. Lots of fruit. Basically no fat” he replies confidently. I was trying to be polite, so I said something like, “uhh, ok, nice to meet you.” Thinking in my head, this guy is nuts and clearly misinformed. But being a geek for nutrition and biology, I talk to him more at the wedding reception, and he explained exactly how he repeated experiments during his PhD at Berkeley over and over and over again that showed that the very low fat test groups were the healthiest. I walked away from that wedding eating tons of fruit and roughly following the 80/10/10 diet (which he recommended), and have never before touched the degree of health I’ve had since meeting him. I was never diabetic, but since talking to him I’ve gone off of antidepressants and thyroid medication. This way if eating doesn’t just help insulin resistance, eating very low fat raw fruits and vegetables seems to be able to improve or cure almost any health challenge or disease. Since then I’ve also found the Medical Medium books, which echoed exactly the same things Cyrus found in his research. My health and energy are shockingly good, and getting even better daily.
My liver enzymes, showing a progressive fatty liver condition after eating Keto for 4 years, were getting to high. I found this site because 16 years ago followed 'The Mucousless Diet Healing System' and felt so wonderful on this diet I wanted to get back to that energy and started researching. So in January I started the whole food plant based approach. Didn't eliminate all the oil I should have until about 4 months ago. At 73 I have no problem with energy (I can work a 12hr day with no ill effects) and my total cholesterol dropped from 256 to 150. My ALT and AST dropped from 33 to 29 and 26 respectfully ... so I am on my way. I have a wonderful appetite, eat what I want from the plant kingdom and dropped 10 more pounds this past summer. I didn't need to lose weight, it just came off. Depression gone, energy way up, attitude wonderful and I love eating all the foods I restricted myself from for so many years. Do the labs ... know what your body does with what you are eating.
THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN ALL THE PEOPLE FOLLOWING DR. FUNG HIGH FAT LOW CARB MOD. PROTEIN. WHO HAVE ALSO GOT OFF ALL MEDS. MYSELF HAVE HAD GREAT RESULTS LOWERING MY BLOOD SUGAR FROM OVER 300 TO 122 IN JUST ONE MONTH. I HAVE FURTHER TO GO BUT HAVE EVERY CONFIDENCE I WILL GET THERE.
ON THE OTHER HAND YOUR RESULTS SHOWS ANOTHER WAY OF LOWERING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR. SO I WISH I KNEW THE ANSWER.
WHAT IF THE PERFECT DIET WAS EQUAL AMOUNTS OF VEG. PROTEIN AND FAT?????????????
@@margiemistretta8885 , I have watched videos from several different experts who use different approaches for T2D, all with demonstrable results. I think Dr. Fung's fasting method makes a lot of sense for helping to reverse insulin resistance but I also agree with the plant-based diet because, as this video illustrates, the main cause of insulin resistance is too much fat in the cells. Low carb diets work in the short term because you're lowering your glucose and insulin production but that doesn't solve the root problem. Not to mention the health issues associated with high saturated fats and animal products. IMO, the goal is to get insulin to do it's job so your body can process carbs and sugar normally.
@@margiemistretta8885 U can try it and find out for yourself whether this works for you. Think at most you will know it within 3 months based on your BG results ?
There's a lot to take in here. I was diagnosed with type 2 two years ago with an A1C of 8.3. I was stunned and angry at myself. I am a medical professional so I was familiar with some of things that I needed to do. In researching I found that there were some so called remedies that were wide ranged. I decided to not go on meds and to restrict myself immediately. After one week my morning glucose was between 95-113. This was with an extremely low amount of carbs. Over time that did improve and I started to walk more and bike some. Long story short my A1C dropped to 5.9 with eating low carbs. One thing that I found that I just can't seem to grasp is when I did eat carbs again initially I would always lose weight. I'd check my sugar and it hovered around 95-108. I kept saying to myself something is going on that I don't understand. One site will tell you very low carbs, another you can eat high carbs. One will say restrict carbs and it'll reverse IS and another will say it's simply the fat. I am someone that has a great deal of will power when it comes to attempting to heal myself through diet. When I restricted carbs for at least a year honestly yes I could tell that my sensitivity had improved, but not to the point where I felt I could eat what I wanted and see it go back to normal in 2 hours or so so I thought does anyone know what they're talking about? When I listened to this video honestly it's definitely with skepticism because I'm not easily convinced. Honestly I also wanted this to be true because I love fruit and have not eaten much for years now. I hear professionals say too much animal fat is bad and that one there has been my problem. I don't eat red meat or pork, but I do eat more than my share of meat. I'm seeing opposing views in the comment section here naturally, but what I need to see is what happened when they started to eat carbs. What was their morning glucose like and what was their glucoses after high carb meals? It's showing that it improves, but not showing what to expect in the interim. This need to be accompanied by how long it took to come down and what to expect along the way.
Yup, everyone claims to be dr. Online with cures. How many of these people are millionaires from selling books, pills, giving lectures, and signing you up for dietician advice. They all could be liars.
thank you, your comments are all on point with my thinking too....Does anybody truly know what they are talking about? There just so much conflicting info out there!
I spent 8 years trying to reverse my diabetes on low carb high fat. In the end, my insulin resistance became so bad no amount of insulin would get my blood sugar down to anywhere near normal. It was very frightening. I realised increasing the insulin was not the answer. Low carb had only ever ‘managed’ the diabetes by keeping the sugar intake to a minimum. I knew I needed to do something radical. Within 6 weeks on high carb low fat I had to drop my insulin requirement to less than half (50+ units to 20-25 units per day). In just 2 months I have lost a stone in weight. My energy levels, which have always been very low, are slowly starting to improve. I am excited to see what happens over time......
Alot of people fail to recognise that we wernt ment to eat all day 3 times snacking is worse. People need to learn to fast and if i did 3 days 5 7 then 14 you've never had appreciation for life after like it. God truly respond to those that sacrifice.
Can you tell what you ate before the eight years?
I have diabetes. Higher amounts of complex carbs really raises my blood sugar numbers. This doesn't seem to work for me. My numbers lower when I lower carbs.
@@marilynwinberg8274 This is because one size does not work for all. Use what works for you
@alibamford1986, keen to know after 5 years how are u doing ? I am a bit confused by what u say, you are diabetic and on low carb ie your BG spike therefore u needed more insulin, but when u eat high carbs which is normally high GI your blood glucose doesnt spike and thereby u needed less insulin ?
I received my first "normal" non-diabetic A1C test result!

@@justsayin5048 Out of habit, I don't eat a huge variety of fruits and vegetables, but I try to "eat the rainbow". It's not realy which fruits and veggies I eat but that I eat them minimally processed and as whole food, especially whole intact grains.

I got rid of my type 2 diabeties by eating only meat, eggs and just drinking water. My 14 day blood sugars is now 86.4, A1c 4.6%, 14 day average blood pressure down from 167/86 to 108/70. This morning it was 94/61. I tried going carb low fat and it nearly metabolically destroyed me. Now I need no medications or suppliments and all health markers are amazing. Good markers can be acheived especially when young with a veggie diet but it will not sustain the body as we get older. Not enough quantity or quality of protien, and replaceing fat with toxic sugars for energy requiremenrs will bring on a long term health failure. Also plants are packed with hundreds of carcinagens oxolets and other toxins. Wish you well and good luck but would recomend at least seeing what the many carnivour and low carb keto doctors and health professionals have to say on the webb.
@@murraypooley9199 I'm glad you're seeing good results with your approach.

Oh My God! We have been doing a low fat, low protein and low dairy diet and it has taken my husband about nine months and I was skeptical the entire time but I have prayed for a miracle and we got our answer. This is the type of information doctors don't want you to know and especially the pharmaceutical companies and because they will be out of business. His sugar level has gone from the five hundreds to 92, 117,101. We exercise and that has helped as well. The low carb diets don't work. We eat carbs all the time otherwise we would have no energy. God bless you for making this video!

The problem is you cant do low fat and low protein at the same time, your taking both fuels away from your body. You must have some protein and some healthy fats and low carb, low GI no sugar diet.

It's great to hear the explanation of what causes diabetes It's unfortunate that most doctors don't tell you this but its not their fault because of the education they have received Thank you sir, i needed this for i myself am type 2 diabetic.
ALL doctors are responsible for keeping up with medical information. They CAN NOT expect what they learned in medical school to sustain them through out their medical career. Don't enable them! The 1/2 life of medical information is less than 3 1/2 years. If you don't keep up with medical information 1/2 of the information you give is incorrect!
I've had three doctors since I found out I had diabetes, not one could explain insulin resistance or insulin sensitivity to me. Thank you!!!
Omg what’s wrong with doctors!!! I have had two doctors, one of them told to search on google what to it... can you believe that?
I hope my identical twin sister will be willing to listen to this soon, or at least some day. She has had Type 1 Diabetes since we were 11 (16 years ago). She does a good job controlling her numbers, but she has a really hard time with her weight. It is so great to see this info about T1D because everything I see about HCLF/plant based mentions Type 2 but nothing about Type 1. Now I know that this diet will be great for her too. Thank you for all you guys do
Man I'm so confused now...
I'm not diabetic but I've been doing a ton of research on the best diet for weight loss, fitness and longevity. There are so many studies that contradict each other.
Last year I followed Dr. Eric Berg's "healthy keto" and it worked well. I lost weight and had more energy. But I didn't end up sticking with the diet and gained the weight back. I was getting ready to start the keto diet again and then I came across this video.
I've always known a diet based primarily on vegetables and fruit is better. But I've always had a hard time subscribing to the idea that meats and fats are bad.
Yup I’m with you on that last paragraph there.
Good teacher.
Anyone else tried this and it worked???
I can attest to this. I have Type 1 Diabetes. When I removed meat and animal fats from my diet, my sensitivity increased to the point where when I took my normal amount of insulin to cover my carbs, my blood sugar dropped hard and fast. I loved not taking as much insulin but it was hard to maintain because I don't have a doctor that understands. Without support, I fell short and went back to my old way of eating for my DM1. I will try again to get back to plant-based eating, but I will need to find a new doctor. This is very informative and should be looked at further to better help those with Diabetes.
How's things .. do you really feel meat is the issue?
This does make a lot of sense. Thank you. As a type 2 diabetic, hearing your presentation has switched on something in my thinking. I also don't believe mankind was supposed to be predominantly carnivorous just by looking at our teeth you can see what we were meant to be eating, WFPB meals.
Gregory Smith the famous child prodigy came up with the EXACT same conclusion. He studied anatomy and dinosaurs at the age of 2 and concluded that humans must be herbivores, based on the difference between dinosaurs that ate meat and the ones that ate plants. He and his whole family became vegetarians as a result.
BTW his IQ is so high, it can't be measured He was memorizing and reciting books at 14 months, passed his mother and father intellectually at age 5. He started college at age 10 and finished at 13 and has been nominated for 4 Nobel prizes.
Yes! I said the same thing
What is WFPB?

There are many pathologies to disease. Pushing a low fat plant based diet is the same as pushing a low carb... teach people how to listen to their bodies, to find balance, to listen to the whispers of inflammation, to analyze their digestion’s, teach people how to use a 20$ glucometer for goodness sake instead of pushing a one sided way of eating.

Okay, I thought all carbs were off limits but after visiting your website and looking at the recipes the whole food carbs are ok in moderation. My doctor could only tell me to try the Mediterranean diet to see if that would help, which talked about the fish, olive oil, and the “healthy fats”. I’m glad you explained it. Thank you
Fantastic info
I lost 70 lbs low carb high fat,With no extra exercise.I also have improved my insuline sensitivity and have a loundry list of proublems that have all but disapeared.Like carple tunnel back pain and reflux.I'm not saying that you're all wrong but I'm not alone in these kind of results.I have mantained for three years .Every two weeks I have a cheat day and eat whatever I want, I usaully get sick on these days from being a pig,but have found my tolorance for junk is going down. I always want to go back because I feel bad and crave a more healthy diet.
Nice to know this guy has these results. My situation is the complete opposite. I never really ate processed food and have found legumes and fruit starch and most veggies makes me seriously sick.

Hi. How are things going for you?
> I never really ate processed food...
So you always just sorta ate processed food?
People and their f---ing language-habits.
Do you mind if I ask your blood type? I’m O+ ...it seems not everything is suitable for everyone.
I've watched other videos about IR but so far this was most down to earth and informative. Thank you for sharing.
I'm convinced that we should say "meat" rather than "protein" since leafy green have proteins as well. Also, specify between simple and complex carbs (may need to describe foods in each) rather than just "carbohydrates ."
Thanks for the video on Insulin Resistance.
You're welcome!
I want to say Thank you!
My story is very similar to yours. About a month ago, after weeks of being sick I took myself to student health and while doing blood work they found my blood sugar was around 300. Like you, they admitted me and I was diagnosed with diabetes. I am 21 years old, a junior in college, 12 hours from home, and I was aboslutley terrified. Three weeks of low carb and my BS was still hanging around 300. I watched What The Health the other night and decided to go vegan. I'm four days in and I have honestly never felt better and I hope this feeling never goes away. I don't eat that many carbs. Around 200-250, but my blood sugar has been between 115-140, and it hasn't really been below 200 in the past month. I love this. It realy works. This information is CRUCIAL to the diabetes world.
I wanted to add that I am type 2, not type 1 and I am on the road to reversal!
Vegan is a terrible diet and not sustainable long term. I was vegetarian 2 years then vegan 2 years and after 6 months I had no energy never, it really messes with hormones.
Are you still doing well with diabetes
It is 4yrs since you wrote this & I'm wondering if you're still doing this way of eating?
Yes any update or changes to ahare, we're curious to know which method works 😊
I reversed my type 2 diabetes with this diet! (a vegan whole-food-based diet)
I got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the age of 18, now I am 27 years old.
I found this video 4 months ago and also the book by Dr.Neal Barnard, and it had helped me a lot.
I have tried many kinds of diets and when I turned to a whole food vegan diet, I found that in 2 months my blood glucose was well within range and I could eat a lot more unprocessed carbs and fruits without a spike in my sugar levels.
I found that fruits did spike my sugar level but not to extremes when I ate just fruit, but while eating fruits with other vegetables like cucumber and tomatoes it did not have much impact on my sugar levels.
Before I was on Metformin but now I am completely off from all my meds, and my HBA1C is 5.7, HDL and LDL levels are normal but my Iron, Vitamin B12 and vitamin d levels are little low, So I have taken an appointment with a nutritionist for next week, hopefully, I can find a resolution for this.
Very important before going on this diet for diabetics :
Please contact your doctor and consult a nutritionist.
It is very easy to find videos on this diet from influencers who might give wrong advise unknowingly, I have seen many influencers go on a vegan diet do it wrongly and facing the consequences.
Your blood glucose will drastically reduce when on this diet, so if you are on insulin or other meds you will face hypoglycemia(life-threateningly low sugar level), At the beginning of this diet I did the stupid mistake of not telling my doctor and I faced this problem after which she did an HBA1C test and adjusted my meds eventually taking them off.
Are you still doing well with this diet
@@nizamansari569 Same question: what about long term consequences ? I read a testimony of a guy coming back to normal food for aa while, and his FBS was worse than before the diet...

Legumes for protein, Oats and Chia seeds. After 3 months my sugar was 115 max. After fasting 2 times for 24 hours i cure my body. Its been almost a year now. My morning blood sugar are 70-76. After 1 hour 90-95 and after 2 hours 73-85 max. I don't see 100 whatever i eat. Now i am eating more foods than before. I don't eat junk foods, no processed foods, no meat or dairy. I want to thank you for helping me get my life back. I also healed my body from Adissons decease symptoms. Low fat diet is the way to go. I was eating 5-8% fat when i was in my low fat diet. After curing my self i am eating 20-25% fat each day.
ps: I don't know why all those Naturopaths say the opposite. I followed before a naturopaths diet and my blood sugar was the same and even worse.
I
Do you still feel good ?
As a Type 1 diabetic I can testify that he is absolutely correct. Fat causes insulin resistance. Any diabetic should eat a low fat, high carb, whole food, plant based diet.
I did a low carb higher fat diet for years and I did have stable blood sugar. But anytime I ate any form of carbohydrate my blood sugar was uncontrollable. NOW I eat tons of fruit, potatoes, whole grains, beans and veggies. My blood sugar is stable, predictable and in a normal range. I have incredible energy and feel amazing.
If you have diabetes do yourself a favor and eat a whole food, plant based, low fat diet. Your body will thank you.
You think movement/ exercise or a lack thereof played any role?
Sounds like the McDougall diet
@@Draw4Damedefinitely
I think he and Dr Barnard are absolutely right.
I'm trying to find the easiest and best ways to turn my true2go into a vaporizer , I'm not diabetic , just gifted with seizures , and so far it has helped , any ideas ?
Thank you for the knowledge, I will incorporate!!
YEAH..... CYRUS AND ROBBY.... The best
May I offer a suggestion....when someone from the audience says something, please repeat it into the microphone, or have a microphone close to them so we can hear what they are saying....it's like getting half the message.
These men are Type 1 diabetics, meaning their bodies do not produce enough insulin, if they did not take insulin, they would not be able to keep weight on and would waste away and die. There is no shame in a Type 1 diabetic taking insulin, they can regulate their weight by how much insulin they take. If for some reason you wanted to take less insulin as a Type 1 diabetic, you would have to eat a high carb diet in order to keep your insulin levels high so you could maintain a healthy weight because carbs spike your insulin. This is why carbs as a primary energy source for a Type 1 diabetic works for them. Type 2 diabetics have too much insulin which often leads to insulin resistance. This is why they gain weight and then its hard for them to take the weight off. They must lower their insulin levels and make their bodies use fat as their primary energy source. This is why a low carb diet works for Type 2 diabetics. Now we must differentiate the carbs. There are bad carbs and good carbs. Bad carbs are breads, pasta, starchy vegetables, etc. Good carbs are vegetables, fruits, beans etc. Bad carbs should be avoided as much as possible by everyone regardless if they have diabetes or not but type 1 diabetics can eat everything (good carbs and bad carbs) in moderation and depending on how much insulin they are taking maintain a healthy weight. Type 2 diabetics should really cut out as much bad carbs as possible and eat everything else in moderation, especially fruit in moderation because its high in sugar which also spikes insulin. Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are opposites of eachother and trying to treat them both with the same diet will not work.
I think you should edit and specify which fruits, vegs, bean types (Peas Green Pinto refried black) etc are good and bad. thanks give an example of a smoothy
Also to point out for type 2 folks. Make sure you’re eating the right fruits. Stay away from things like grapes due to the fact they have very little fibre. This spike sugar and insulin quickly. Fruits like apples and watermelon have a lot of fibre and there for have very low glycemic loads. Knowing the difference between glycemic index and load is very important to what one can eat.
This comment is so accurate.
actually, I am a low carb type 1 diabetic and low carb is defiantly the best for my body. (: I most definitely can’t eat whatever I want, and I’m really glad I started eating low carb.
Exactly
Thank you so much for explaining this. I’m
studying to become a nurse and I’m suffering with insulin resistance myself. I did the Keto diet and a low carb diet and my recent blood work (about a week ago) came back not so great. Specifically my Lcl cholesterol and kidneys. I didn’t know what to do because I’ve been “dieting” for many years. Watching this really allowed me to understand what I need to do to become a healthier person. I’m going to change my diet and hopefully things will change for the better ❤️
Kassandria hi also training to be a nurse and I too have insulin resistance. How is the diet working for you thus far? :)
Update please
Thanks for sharing this wonderful posting. Also you are a good teacher 👍👍👍🙏🏼
I listen to the audio podcast of this every night before bed. Love it! Cyrus n Robby 4 president!!!
I am just in need of changing my lifestyle of eating and this was inspiring
Great presentations. You both dispel the non-stop myths about diabetes and get to the truth. Thank you for all your efforts!
Much relief after going through this stuff ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx-ip-9JdKgYMhubLnEjt3OXJkFyS4D2Jd Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels. Taking a walk usually helps bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.
Absolutely great lecture!
Wow! This is life saving. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing!
I was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at the age of 10. That was 23 years ago. Previously, nobody in my family had diabetes of any type, but after i fell ill, my sister's younger son was also diagnosed with it 2 years later. 3 years ago, her older son got ill as well and he was 24 years old, when he got type 1 diabetes. Now, the reason why I brought it up were the events that occurred right before each of us got sick. I had a riding accident, my sister's younger son was hit by a car and her older son had a motorcycle accident. Roughly 2-3 weeks after these events took place, we all started to show the symptoms: thirst, stomach pain, frequent urination, nausea, vomiting, headaches. My mother thought it was stomach flu at first, but when results came in I was hospitalized right away. When my sister's younger and older sons started showing the symptoms, we already knew to be suspicious. So it got me thinking, if the stress from these events (possible adrenaline rush) could have triggered the diabetes? While I was in hospital I had met 2 more patients (girls) who also had developed type 1 diabetes and they also had scary events happening right prior ( a dog attack and nasty fall from a tree). I guess I was wondering if You had any scary, stressful events happening prior your endocrine systems going haywire?
If you are in an accident, a fire , etc, or some other extremely stressful situation that causes your adrenaline to get out of control, sometimes the hospital will administer steroids. (Like Prednisone, etc) and based on my experience I believe the steroids can damage your pancreas resulting in the need to administer insulin with possibility of diabetes as a consequence.
Helluminati v
I broke my leg and crushed my foot in an excavating accident. Within 4 months I had raging diabetes. The orthopedic surgeon said that he had read military medical magazines where soldiers who had experienced road side bombs and suffered shattered bones and limb losses had also come down with full blown diabetes within a few months, and there was no previous symptoms of diabetes. He thought that the bone trauma might have triggered an immune response from marrow escaping into the blood system.
You could be right a Dr. Hamer says that all diseases are caused by emotional shock.
In my live that was several times the case. Diet can help to heal faster.
Helluminati well I'm starting to have symptoms and I was in a car accident and I fractured my wrist about seven months before the symptoms started... So reading your comment has me really wondering if that could be the case... Okay time to chill and smoke a bowl oh and go to the gym
Sir it's great to hear from you..
Kind of inspiration for me since I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes 1 year ago...
I would love to hear some latest updates from you sir..
I am 34 from north eastern part of India
Do you have his book Mastering Diabetes??
This is sooo informative. I am on low fat diet but thought chicken was pretty good and just needed to eliminate red meat, carbs, especially fruits which I love. I'm starting more exercise and will consider this info. I am prediabetic, but not for long.
What an awesome lecture and message every health professional deserves to hear!
We love the support, it means so much!!😊
@@MasteringDiabetes Whilst Finnish Diabetes Association arranges e.g. bus trips to eat smoked & heavily salted lamb (!) your message is now heard in Finland 🇫🇮 -As a lifestyle medicine practicing physician I shared this presentation to FALM (Finnish Association of Lifestyle Medicine) members.
Officials won't make needed changes to recommendations. They promote dairy, birds, fish and even eggs on the table no matter the science.
For now, we have to help one person at the time. Patients do change their ways, when they get the informaation why and how. Thank you so much for all you do!
Great information. Very informative. I thank you fellas from the bottom of my heart. You are appreciated 👍
Great presentation. I’ve been WFPB for nearly 3yrs and very hard to lose weight because I have a taste for fat containing vegan foods- nuts, nutmilk, avocados. Super hard to eat 15%. But agree it’s the best way to go. Thankfully not prediabetic etc
Mastering Diabetes thank you. Yes I enjoy all those green light foods and will need to make them the dominant feature.
Great presentation guys and I love your energy and positive attitude. The gig with explaining the insulin resistance process with the attendants was awesome! Plants for the win :)
My brother got a flu shot which caused type 1 diabetes. He was unaware his symptoms warranted a visit to a doctor and went into ketoacidosis 3 days later. Unfortunately he hasn't grasped this information. I recently changed my diet and have gone from 260 lbs to 225 in 5-6 weeks. I'm sure I have insulin resistance due to various symptoms. Since the diet change I haven't had daily migraines, my feet used to be numb and tingly, now it's just my toes, my neck had thick bumpy dark skin which has almost resolved. I have much more energy and feel great now.
Nonsense
I am excited to be on this journey, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
You are so welcome
Excellent. Thank you
I've been type 2 diabetic for about 30 years. Have been following keto for the last couple of days. I didn't have to take insulin or Metformin, by numbers were 85-122
But you’re making your disease worse long term?! At least by eating Whole Foods plant based we are healing our metabolism, not breaking it further. I tried keto. Google pancreatitis. No f’n thanks. Keto sucks.
Everyone is different, chose what works best for you. I went the keto route after years of uncontrolled a1c. Within a week my blood sugar was down to 119 and 0 insulin and down to 500mg of metformin (from 2000mg)
How about now?
A good way to clog up arteries and increase intromyellerceller lipid and now is scientific proof that keto diet increase in all causes mortality of death. Every human as red blood cell and you do not think so 🤔 red blood cells can not run on ketones body's but only run on glucose. Red blood cell carry rich nutrients like iron and oxygen not for the heart to to move and have a regular heartbeat in the long term.
High fat low carb is what is keeping my blood sugar low and I'm losing weight. I am type 2. Very confused because this seems like it would do the opposite.
How are you doing now? Dead yet or
They are both type 1, different mechanics, more to it
You are treating the symptoms (effectively), but your underlying problem remains. You are still type 2.
This guy is treating the underlying problem. His clients are no longer type 2.
this also what i did, high fat low carbs..booom...A1C down
This guy was born for this
Thanks for what you and Robby do ... I'm winning slow and steady.
I lost weight following a low carb high fat diet, at first. Yet now i am gaining weight and do not lose weight and i find that i became jnsulin resistant. I am confused by all the different remedies too, but feel excited by the notion of eating fruit and veggies...soooo, i am going to try it. I feel inflamed and know that it is caused by diet.
Same experience here.
As a type II diabetic at age 29 this video is what I really need. Thank you for posting. 🤗🤗🤗🤗
Go carnivore not vegan. Do your research please before you decide.
Athene677 bro humans aren't carnivores tf
This information will not apply to a type 2 diabetic, only type 1.
I'm 43. Became type 2 at age 37. I haven't done anything to better it besides just using metformin in the past year. My sugars regularly measure 300 and up. I'm finally trying to pay attention because I feel awful. Its caught up up me physically. Low energy wanting to sleep all the time, moodiness and my anxiety disorder that I've had 20 years is worse than ever. I'm at a breaking point. I need help
@@natep9997 You are doing the right thing! Stay with it because things do get better. I started my health journey on April 1st of this year, in just over two months I've lost 18lbs, have more energy throughout the day, rarely wanting to nap off and on like I was doing, which helps you to get a better night's sleep without getting up to pee many times during the night. Aches and pains starting to fade, life is so much better👍😊
Every body is different what works for you may not work for others. Carbohydrates spiked my blood sugar (fruit and grain not processed) and fat lowers my blood sugar. 😊
What blood type are you? I don’t think too that this is a one size fits all. I think different people require different approach based on varying things. Also confused because this goes completely against what some of our well known doctors on YT are saying.. I think there needs to be moderation/balance in everything.
I love her testimony.
I loved the ad for the Keto gizmo before the video started!!
This is the first time i am hearing a different definition of insulin resistance that cells storing fat
Cause the person is not talking based on science, just fooling around, I shall find a way to report this misleading talk!
Thank God for you. Im having VSG in aprox 4 weeks. I want to live. I hate 2k mg Metformin, 20 mg lisinopril, 20 mg Rosuvastatin, Onglyza & Farxiga @ 5mg ea, and more. I've become obsessed with raw greens as green smoothies and lost 30 lbs pre-op. Your information explains why I'm feeling that my meds are killing me. They are. Thank you so much. I'll be checking out your web page asap.
God Bless you and your mission to educate regarding insulin resistance in America! ♡♡♡
45:18 What to eat?? 》Red light, Yellow light, Green light... thank you for this!! Great video!
Great Show! I do not have Diabetes, but your explanations help me too. Such colourful food!
Very thorough and insightful presentation.
Bloody brilliant! One of the best diabetes lectures I have heard. Thank you for making it so easy to understand. The UK says thank you
One of the worst lectures and very misleading.
@@MasteringDiabetes just read life without diabetes professor Roy Taylor UK diabetes fatty liver and last pancreas when pancreas has lost its fat the beta cells wok .
I’m totally confused. So we have Dr Eric Berg and Dr Jason Fung saying Fasting Kito diet and keeping carb low as possible keeps insulin under control and improves insulin sensitivity and now you have these two diabetic guys tell you keto is bad and high fat is bad (healthy fats). So what is it?
We really need an answer on that... Or until then I will keep moderate amount fat less karb and almost no sugar... I'm confused
I think there are 2 ways that work - keto is burning fat for fuel & there is a heck of a lot of evidence that it is a natural capacity of human body. But eating vegan, whole foods, whether raw/fruitarian or cooked whole foods - no refined foods (either diet, refined carbs are bad, bad - they are fundamentally sugar without fiber) works also. Human body adapted to either mode & can change as required - perhaps because of seasons & what is available. The fat thing is troubling to me - (vegan) keto works for me, burning fat as fuel. Eating whole foods - raw or cooked combo, fruit, etc also works. But I am suspicious that low fat is not optimal. Obviously some people do great on it, but I’ve met enough people who do not that I am cautious. Dr. Michael Greger now saying that, say, salads without fat are shown to mean almost no absorbency of nutrients - salad with fats/oils make absorbency of nutrients skyrocket. And we all know there are certain nutrients are fat soluble.
Me too, am confused now, I was just listening to Dr Fung, what he says make sense. I say to each his own. Each person reacts to different diet.
@@menchu9137 Go with Dr. Fung. These vegan guys have an agenda to push that isn't just about your health.
Low carb or keto DOES control blood sugar and A1C, as he mentions when he says low carb diets do work. However, this approach fundamentally addresses the symptoms, i.e. the problem of glucose that is “stuck” outside your cells in the blood, because you have for the most part stopped sending sugar into the blood in the first place through diet. However, what he is saying is that if you address the insulin resistance itself by cutting fat, your body will be able to handle healthy carbs on its own (he isn’t talking about processed or junk foods obviously). The main concerns he and others mention about low carb, high fat high protein diets are that diets high in saturated fat tend to drive high blood cholesterol and heart disease risk, and high protein diets tend to drive up growth hormones such as IGF-1 that increase he risk of some types of cancer.
Great video. I'll spread the word.
Thank you so much!❤️
What a great presentation and thank you . I’m not Diabetic but trying to be healthy.
This is a great presentation and I am very happy to see your message is getting out there. Everyone needs to know this.
April Bryant everyone needs to know that fat causes fat? Sugar causes fat. End of
Dr. JASON FUNG says just the opposide and does not agree with a high carb diet with people who have type 2 diabetes. Maybe this is good for type1. This is a very confussing subject because I'm hearing two different theries.
Gin Kay The real key to both Dr Fungus and this presentation is no dairy, cheese, animal products, oils and diet processed produced sugar. Be nice, be polite, be kind...work hard.
Dr. Jason Fung centers everything around intermittent fasting. And fasting works 100% of the time. People have been fasting for thousands of years.. whether it be for religious or health reasons. It works. Fasting helps to purge the body of toxins. Fasting also repairs the pancreas. And not once have these guys mentioned intermittent fasting.
Adam Bondaruk >>>yes I noticed that too....intermittent fasting👍 needed to be mentioned!
A high Carb diet is simply wrong for any diabetes !
Carbs make blood sugar so T1's have to inject more fake Insuline & T2's already have too much Insulin that isnt working !
Be a Vegan Diabetic if you like but you must know the Glycemic Index/Load of your Veg & you must avoid Grains !
Grains have very little nutrition, spike blood sugar & insulin.
The term "healthy whole grain" is a joke !
"Be a Vegan Diabetic if you like" lol People who follow a wfpb lifestyle do not have Diabetes.
Fantastic presentation- clearly explained. Thank you for your work 🙏🏼🦋
I'm a new subscriber and this information is the truth God bless
Thank you so much for everything
Very informative.
Thank you so much for this. Literally the best, most comprehensive and complete explanation of insulin resistance and how to tackle it. Thank you, thank you!
Bottom line.... It's the fat blocking your insulin receptors.
Great information, thank you sooooo much🍓🍒🍎🥝🥦🥒🥬🍏🍇
We're so happy to hear this!
Thank you for sharing your knowledgeMastering Diabetes
Keto works well for me. High carb works well for my sister. In the end you have to figure out what works for your body.
both of them will work.
do not mix protein with carbs..
you just eat the one food..
the same as you and your sister are doing..
Keto only lowers blood sugar because fat doesn't spike insulin. Whole Food Plant-Based allows the fat to come out of the Pancreas and people with T2D get healed.
Whole Food Plant-Based is superior, technically, it is superior. People who won't eat vegetables and fruit and beans and grains probably have to go Keto, but Whole Food Plant-Based is superior.
@Snake Plissken I am Whole Food Plant-Based and there are organic, non-GMO grains everywhere. The Global Burden of Disease Study put not eating grains in the top 4 causes of disease and people in the Blue Zones who outlive everybody eat a lot of grains.
@Snake Plissken But it is WHOLE grains, NOT refined grains. I was reading a heart study yesterday and WHOLE grains improved people's heart functions and refined grains made them worse. So maybe we HALF agree.
I feel you brother! My story is very similar! They don't teach you about insulin resistance and ph. Plant based is a way to achieve unsurpassed power, energy and mental clarity.
Thanks for that really clear explanation if why fat is the cause of insulin resistance. Penny dropping moment for me. It makes several things drop into place actually.
When younger i could run all day with no food, accessing my stored fat and feeling good. 30 years later I know I'm insulin resistant and when out running, after around an hour I crawl to a halt. I can't access my fat stores as far as I can tell. To keep moving I have to eat carbs. The stupid thing is that my body is fat...belly fat is my nemesis. How ever little I eat I can't access this fat easily. I just don't lose weight even running 50 miles a week. I know my blood sugars are higher than I would lie and sure that there was a connection. Fasting bs be have been at 110 to 130 for years and years. I tried keto and Paleo and things just got worse after a couple of months of initial success. Gradually climbing to where I'm serously worried about my health. I found Dr Gregor and have been following a vegan WFPB for about three months but wandered a bit as I didn't really understand the fat issue.
Last night I made my self a meal of rice, mango, sweet potato, chickpeas. Stuck some chutney on top for flavour. Bingo... fasting BS this morning is 105.
I finally understand why a small handful of nuts or nut butter sky rockets my BS even though they are healthy.
Thank you, I now know I can do this.
I just LOVE Cyrus and Robby!! Thank you for the video.
