Why would I work with my healthcare team as he said I should if I have some problems on a ketogenic diet? These are the same establishment doctors who shun carnivore and keto in favor of the flawed food pyramid most doctors tout. These same doctors say consuming seed oils and processed foods are fine and moderate alcohol drinking is okay. Sorry, I will not take their advise. I have done my own research and never been healthier. My former doctor said I had a fatty liver and nothing I can do about it but live with it. There are many other things they told me I had to live with and maintain with pills. I look at most doctors now as shamans.
Has any doctor EVER asked about your diet when you complained about a health problem? I can't think of a time. Ever. Just blithely prescribing pills to suppress symptoms. That's not healing medicine. It's a criminal cover-up!
We have many people in our support group with no gall bladder and they just needed to take it slow with bumping up the fat slowly. Now they can do 80% fat or higher with no problems. The body is an amazing thing!
6+ year carnivore here. Gall bladder removed 14-15 years ago. You can eat high fat but you will have to slowly titrate. I try to eat as high fat as I can and still get diarrhea every now and then. Having diarrhea is not a bad thing if you only have it occasionally. You have to find your own limits and push it to the edge. Fat is the most important macros and should be the focus of anyone starting a ketogenic diet. This is not Atkins and it’s not about just shoving a bunch of meat down your gullet! Eat as much fatty red meat as you can till it stops tasting good. Listen to your hunger and thirst cues also.
We've come a long way from "what is keto?" Or "I thought ketosis is the same as diabetic ketoacidosis ?" To "can I do a ketogenic diet?" Or "is keto right for me?" Is an indicator things are kinda moving in the right direction. How much worse can it get before it gets better. My prediction is that more people will eventually realize they cannot medicate or drug or quick fix their way out of the current sick care system.
My husband and I tried keto, but were always craving carbs and couldn't stick to a keto diet. I like The Mayo Clinic Diabetes Diet book by Donald Hensrud. This book teaches to measure portions of protein, carbs and fat to keep calories ideal and teaches to have a serving of fruit and nonstarchy vegetables with every meal. Lost thirty pounds and have kept it off for 3 years following this diet.
I got mental health isuess. They say Keto is the best to treat it. But like you I cant stick to a keto diet. its to sophisticated. Besides you have to watch portion size on keto diet to not go over the carb limit.
I’m very healthy, do regularly exercise, 135 lbs weight, 5’10”, 77 years old. Is there any benefit for me to go keto? I am fascinated by keto. I enjoy your podcasts. Thank you.
Thanks for your question. That's tough to answer without knowing more details. Some people report feeling more energy and thinking more clearly when in ketosis, but this is not a universal finding. Some recommend trying ketosis for 2-3 months to see if someone feels any different. But everyone's journey and experience is individual.
Trying keto for my inflammation kidneys and liver and hips. Only weigh 130. On my second week. Inflammation subsideing already. I had to eat enough good fat to make it work. I am Never hungry and lost 6lbs weight in 2 weeks. ❤
My psychiatrist is concerned I can't do keto and by on a GLP-One weight loss medication because she thinks I will burn through my muscle. My PCP and I don't not share this same fear and want to keep me on my weight loss medication while starting keto.
Thanks for your comment. Perhaps you and your healthcare team can come up with a plan to ensure you are getting enough protein and doing resistance training to maintain or even add muscle mass. Following DEXA scans or other measurements of lean mass can help determine if you are achieving your goals rather than assuming you will lose lean mass. That might be a good discussion to have!
I’ve been doing keto 20-30g carbs for a few weeks and keep getting knocked out of ketosis , I ate an avocado for breakfasts and took a few supplements and was knocked out of ketosis I also have high cortisol bcuz of the stressful / abusive environment I can’t leave from
The Ketogenic Diet has not been studied beyond 2 yrs. Verta only have 2 yr results. Anything over 2 yrs is a grand experiment, but what we DO know, is that Carnivores and Keto eaters typically don’t live as long as those who do Mediterranean or WFP exclusive.
The longest living people are in Hong Kong and they eat more red meat than anyone. And the Blue Zones it turns cherry picked data and some of the places it picked actually eat meat based.
I wonder how many folks that try keto or carnivore (or maybe any diet to improve health) started out with a healthy metabolism? I think the vast majority started out with a broken metabolism, in my personal experience, damage done in your youth is not easily reversed…
Dear @Metabolic Mind, I have heard you discuss how some individuals may experience temporary hypomania or mania when transitioning into a keto diet, with symptoms typically subsiding by week 3. I am curious to know if someone accidentally goes out of ketosis or off the diet for a day or two, and then resumes the keto diet, whether they are likely to experience the temporary phase of hypomania once again? Thank you for your insights!
That's an area where we have to rely on individual reports and limited clinical experience, but it does appear that some people can get "mildly hypomanic" transitioning back into ketosis after being out for a short time, like a few days. Although we don't have data on this, it is likely that the risk is lower compared to an initial transition, although not zero chance.
I get constipated on keto, that's my first concern. Not related to fiber intake. And when my bowels aren't moving I lose appetite, especially for fats. Even a thought of eating fatty foods makes me nauseous.
And you have normal bowel movement on a SAD? Your condition is highly unusual and I'm wondering if you have a gut or micro biome issue too severe to be healed by keto.
@@jimrutherford2773 lol you are hilarious for making assumptions about me. I never eat SAD. But if i add any carb i have perfect bowel movements. So i blame keto. It must be related to electrolytes
I have 4 stents from blockage in my arteries, I would love to do Keto but am afraid it would clog my arteries. I also have a damaged heart from a heart attack and have a pacemaker.
If you are referring to comments that ketosis is dangerous and unhealthy, then we would say that they don't completely understand the physiology and clinical benefits of ketosis.
Oh! You're SO lucky that you're in Dr. Annette Bosworth's (Dr. Boz's) town! Check out Meaningful Medicine Clinic and consider going to her free keto support group at the Pin Chasers at 4847 N Armenia Ave.
It seems this video is being put in the feed of hardcore ignorant people determined to maintain all the myths. I can tell toy that you can thrive on a total carnivore diet. In fact, you will find it easier than trying to keep to 30 carbs a day. That gets to be very tricky. Also don’t eat artificial sweeteners or artificial anything. If you love beef, just eat it every day. Bacon and eggs or sausage and eggs for breakfast. Eating carbs causes insulin resistance, which shows up for most people as fluid retention.
Hello, i have one question: I have heard that your ketones should be at least above 2.5 mmol/l in order to treat psychotic symptoms. Does it make a difference if I do for example a ketogenic diet with an 2:1 ratio combined with exougenous ketones to reach that goal or does it have to be an 3:1 or even 4:1 ratio? I know that exogenous ketones does not have exactly the same effects such as ketones produced by your own body (specificly on your mitochondria), but I heard from a few people that it can also be effective to combine with exougenous ketones in order to reach the right amount of ketones for therapeutic effects. Maybe you can give me an answer on this, would be really helpful! Thanks! :)
I'm not sure there is a clear level that is required for psychiatric benefits. Some feel better at higher levels, like above 2.0, and others see improvements even below 1.0. So it's clear there is more to learn. And we arent sure how exogenous ketones may add to the therapeutic benefit. Working with a trained clinician (like a coach, therapist, dietician, etc) can be really helpful to test these questions on an individual basis.

I had the exact experience as you had! Switched to keto five months, getting rid of fatty liver disease and reversed pre-D!
He's super cautious and doesn't want to get Noaks'd.
He has to put that in as a disclaimer
@@pabeader1941 I get it. However, at some point the low carb medical community will have to take a stand.

Nice approach, carefully formulated with respect for ‘the hesitants’ 👍

Also...I go back.in 3 months to re-check labs also. Never hungry and never constipated because I drink water and eat low car veggies and berries
Thinking of going Keto from 8 months Carnivore. Having some digestion issues. Also doc is urging me to eat more fibre. I’ll look into it further.
My psychiatrist is concerned I can't do keto and by on a GLP-One weight loss medication because she thinks I will burn through my muscle. My PCP and I don't not share this same fear and want to keep me on my weight loss medication while starting keto.

And when my bowels aren't moving I lose appetite, especially for fats. Even a thought of eating fatty foods makes me nauseous.
I switched my magnesium supplement to just a magnesium glycinate (400 mg) and that seemed to help me.
And you have normal bowel movement on a SAD? Your condition is highly unusual and I'm wondering if you have a gut or micro biome issue too severe to be healed by keto.
@@jimrutherford2773 lol you are hilarious for making assumptions about me. I never eat SAD. But if i add any carb i have perfect bowel movements. So i blame keto. It must be related to electrolytes
Have at it. Eat all the carbs you can get your hands on. The more the merrier for your bowels.
@@jimrutherford2773 😂 you sound like I offended you personally somehow
I have 4 stents from blockage in my arteries, I would love to do Keto but am afraid it would clog my arteries. I also have a damaged heart from a heart attack and have a pacemaker.
My mom has several stents, heart disease, lupus, arthritis. She's been keto for about a year now and is titrating off all her medications
Are these doctors: Mcdaugall, Gregor, Ornish, ect, wrong?
If you are referring to comments that ketosis is dangerous and unhealthy, then we would say that they don't completely understand the physiology and clinical benefits of ketosis.
@@metabolicmindI guess all they write/ say / research all their work totally contradict to what you said.
Regarding to meat, fat ECT. Only 1 thing in common is oil.
Where can we find a Dr that is knowledgeable about Keto but in the Tampa Bay Area???
