I was offered Ozempic by my doctor. I am a female, 53 years old, 5’7 and was 205 pounds. I have tried many diets too. While I have not hit peri menopause yet, I do worry about additional weight when I do. I said no to the Ozempic and simply eliminated almost all sugar from diet, I eat whole foods, proteins and veggies. Almost no fruit, no juice or soft drinks. Pasta, rice and potato is a rare treat. I eliminated snacking. As I work night shift, I eat one large meat during the day and a tiny meal on my lunch break at 4am. I have committed to also going to the gym at my work on my lunch break and do light weights. I do a lot of walking. In a few weeks I have lost ten pounds and I am 195 today. The journey continues.
In addition, try Intermittent Fasting 18/6 Daily with Last Meal before 4 PM and then 24 - 48 Intermittent Fasting once every 12 days. Intermittent Fasting is much better for true Autophagy and truly losing weight and reversing Diabetes and OBESETY.
I never thought i would hear an MD say that diabetes type 2 is a choice, if doctors could only be this sincere with patients it would be life altering. So glad I stumbled onto this video.
Yes, i was type 2 for approximately 3 years, and as a result of all the medications they put me on I could barely leave the house due to the side effects. I am down over 50 pounds and walk 3-5 miles 4-5 days a week. I wish my doctor had told me about keto when I was struggling. In the end it was channel's like this that helped me to get healthy again. Never looked back!
Thanks so much, im a alcoholic and a binge eater. Especially with sugar and carbs. I tried keto but making keto approved desserts would always lead me back to binges. Im on day 2 of carnivore and feeling great
Alcohol is Lots of CARBS and against Keto Diet and while drinking you will not be losing weight, so that's CARB #1 you should permanently ban from your Diet!
I am sitting listing this 54 years old and been loosing 21 kg and have just a little saggy skin and feel I am finally in a good place with my health and Dr. Boz teaching is music to my ears. (By the way...had a pause in the video to eat a salad with a box of sadines with oilive oil and I feel great. :) Thank you! There were times in the video I had goose bomps and others times I had tears, wow, this can be life changing for many of us. Her teaching info is just right for me at the stage I am in on my health restoration journey. Bless you Doc!
AMAZING INFORMATION!! Thank you so much Dr. Boz. Thank God I was doing fasting when I started my weight released journey, I did it with out knowing this info and I am so blessed, so far 30+ lbs down and 20 to go and no lose skin! xo❤
This is my favorite Dr. Boz video - The 80 lb loss without and with AUTOPHAGY photo just blew my mind!! The difference is astounding. Autophagy = Beautiful, firm body. Low cal loss body is a sad, flabby mess which would require skin removal surgery to correct. Surgery is very expensive and leaves huge scars (Looks like Frankenstein to me). Autophagy is free and leaves you looking like a Rock Star!
@@francakarlis7412 the easiest thing to do is to look it up. I would try to explain it but I know I'll mess it up. You could probably look up Dr. Boz and Autophagy and find the answer. Also, Dr. Ken Berry has a great video about Hashimoto's, no gall bladder and the Keto way of eating.
That was fantastic - I've watched a lot of videos about autophagy but seeing you put things into perspective this way was very helpful. And the tip about moving the eating window sooner towards the morning - life changing, really. Thank you very much ❤
I could just HUG you!!! This makes so much sense about what is going on with my body (almost 60) ... & saggy skin has been a major fear for me ... Thank you!!!
what she say is not the whole truth. the bariatric is with the skin and a size issues because the surgery is way more agressive that any diet. the skin problem is because you lose the weight way too fast like is 500--800 calories a day for a body that needs 2200-2500(plus exercises), and the size could be the same problem cause with so low calories usually low on protein and almost no exercise(post surgery), anyone will lose a lot of muscle, and muscle is way smaller than fat, so she could easily lost 5--10 pounds of muscle more than needed in the process. another thing that is alot of bullshit is her metric and her graghs, anyone that is consuming less calories than needed to maintain your bodymass. gets in to autophagy(a lot of papers proving that already), some authophagy is good a lot of it maybe not that good(research needed but you could be destroying some cells with autophagy in excess that you have to remake it right in your next meal) autophagy do not break only old and junk cells, and if is always high they break what is easy to break(especially if in need of fast energy). and if it was all true the best way would be fasting like 36 hours than 1 big meal, than fasting again 36 hours, the big meal would take like 8-12 hours to digest , and get 24+ hours of autophagy(no ups and downs, and don't need to be testing )
@@theShamrockShepherdWagon i am not hung on anything i just read the papers. now lets dismiss 97% of all research(about food) because i want to believe something is miracle and works different than everyone body because my favorite 3 zealots said in his videos? btw:(the studies that usually are mentioned is not what the team that did the study concluded) what is the chances that they are wrong and "your preacher" is the right one? just see the reality and both sides , and take your conclusions. what i wrote was mine.
Mind-boggling video. One of the best videos I have ever watched. You have mastery of the subject and clarity of thought. Above all like your facial expressions. They impacted me most. Got to know about keeping track of Ketones something no one has ever told. God bless you. I am from India and am sharing this video in all my groups. Thank you again Dr.
I just want to say thank you for today's stream. I learned so much. I have been struggling to get onto keto for months, but the last week has been great! I have a Dr Boz ratio of around 50. I am hoping to get it below 40 soon 🙂 So thankful that I can do my healing journey alongside this amazing group of people.
I got up to 168 10 years ago (peri & menopause age 48) and started a whole plant food based, high starch diet. I did lose about 10 pounds and was able to maintain there easily (even though I moved to Mississippi)😆. However, I was stuck there and could never seem to get below 155. Less than 3 months ago I decided to try Keto so I could break my addiction to nacho chips (my cheat food) and corn tortillas so I could get into my old ski pants. What a paradigm shift! I hadn't eaten any animal products or even oil for 10 years(except what was in corn chips, or other times I would cheat on my lifestyle diet). Wow! I lost 10 lbs within a couple weeks. I platueued at 152 but learned about IF and extended fasting. That helped me break under 150 down to 147, only 2 pounds over college weight. I love the convenience of OMAD ( compared to eating 5-6 times/day) and am amazed how well I handled 24 to 63 hour fasts. Since I am used to eating lots of vegetables the shift to a mostly whole food keto has been fairly easy. I just carry canned asparagus and sardines in my car in case I can't make it though the 23 hours to OMAD
The weight you lost while on Keto was most likely water weight. I lost 20 pounds in two months, but did not lose another pound over the next 12 months. I ate twice a day, with an intermittent fast ratio of 16-8. Many days I ingested zero carbs, but never went over 30 on any given day. I felt sluggish, had bouts of sleeplessness, and never felt fully alive. There must be a better way. I've noticed the Keto priesthood is always selling something, so I generally don't follow those that do. Be well.
I have to say I was so uncomfortable with muscle cramps on Keto. Nothing helped, no amount of magnesium etc. My liver would also twinge. So I read the Mastering Diabetes and went back to low fat vegetarian. It's all individual. Recently I've found berberine makes a huge difference and I'm about to try apple cider vinegar
@@jacksquat4140 So I've had a totally different experience with keto. I've lost 66 lbs since 2021 most of it in my visceral fat area. I do IF and keto and my carbs are roughly 20-60 a day- but I don't really count them I just eat high fiber keto veg. I don't eat any processed foods and no fake sugars either. I haven't lost 66 lbs of water. I never feel hungry anymore like I did when I ate sugars and starches. I have increased my muscle mass and at 50 I'm in the best shape of my life. I feel amazing. My inflammation and my autoimmunes are better. I think you can do keto wrong, buying products or eating processed food is the wrong way. You can do any eating approach wrong.
@@biankablack5600: Perhaps Metabolic Syndrome, and a raging case of Type Two, thwarted my efforts? Then again, I just had my Testosterone checked and it wasn't even on the chart. If one's hormones are offline, or fighting against us, I don't think anything will help until they cooperate.
@@jacksquat4140 too true, hormone issues are a major factor and stress really effects them too. I had colon cancer and my weight gain increased in recovery do to the stress. I definitely had metabolic syndrome too, but now just a couple of years later with healthy keto (meaning no processed stuff and a focus on good fats, fish, and eggs, nuts and occasional grass fed dairy and meat) I am truly recovered. I hope you find an answer that works for you. I think IF helps most people.
This was me- here's the difference now- of breaking through stalls- I eat all Carnivore. I fast 2 x 45-48's a week or a 69-72 hour 1x a week. OMAD on the other days. Maybe a 2mad on a weekend- I added Sardines on longer fasts. over 17 hours I will have a can with salt and pepper. Finally losing again. Skin looks and feels great. and at 46- my inflammation is almost gone in my knees. 20 down since Nov 7th. Yaay-- havent done that in a while! Thank you Dr. Boz. Working my way up to a 5 day fast. Which I have done- it just has been a while. Love from Minnesota.
I've been doing carnivore for about 5 weeks. I have MAYBE lost 10lbs (my original scale was broken so not sure). I have 30-50 to lose. But I've lost enough inches for people to notice and remark on it. And my arms have shocked me. Even when I was in my 20s and lost 60lbs with calorie restriction, my arms never looked this beautiful (I'm 45). This is the first video I've ever seen of yours, and I'm so excited because I must be doing it right this time.
Cutting out sugar alone will change your body to a more normal look. Mine did after I cut sugar, and that was before I did keto. Eventually I lost 65 pounds, but I did not go on a diet the first four years. I just cut sugar, sugar substiturs, gluten and processed foods. After going on keto I lost an additional 35 or so pounds over two years. It took me longer than most people because every ten pound loss was a strong plateau, which there is a medical reason for. Stay on track and enjoy your new body!
@@velvetbees thank you. It's been very slow, which is a little discouraging. But I feel really good and my blood sugar is steady, which has never been the case in my life (I used to be the definition of hangry!🤣)
This is the first time in a long time, or ever, that I have listened to a health advice for the full length of the vide and not move away, or just cut to something else. This just does not happen, not even with the courses that I am taking ight now. During this whole vlog I was completely attentive and my focus laser sharp, no brain fog, no boredom; I've enjoyed every single minute of it, and have learnt a great deal, thank you ever so much, something about the way you say what you are saying and the energy behind it....
I skipped pant sizes with 10 lbs lost twice in my journey! I also lost a pant size with no loss once and it wasn't muscle gain as Im disabled and pretty inactive. Its strange how the body shifts happen!
I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I never understood keto and the numbers until you explained. I always had glucose in the high one hundreds and my ketones were mostly .5 or below. I completed the 72 hour sardine fast tonight and my ketones are 2.7 and glucose is 87. I have never had those numbers and I owe it to you. I lost 3 pounds also! Thank you so much! You are my Angel 👼 ❤
@@mrsz1988 I have a keto mojo meter that checks glucose and ketones. You have to prick your finger and apply the blood to a strip that inserted in the meter, reads everything
Hello, prior to my son passing away I was keto. At the age of 52 I was 148# 5’4” and was wearing A size 4-6. 2 years later 158# non keto life style wearing 8-10. I truly believe that keto and fasting are what made we look and feel so good. I am working on getting back there. I have decreased my net carbs down to 50 now. I raised 3 boys two where wrestlers, wish I had this info 20 years ago to have taught them. Your an awesome mom!
I’ve been going since Jan 5 Started a 5 day fast and then went OMAD as a carnivore diet. By Jan 23 I was down from 223 to 209. Now I’m moving my OMAD around. 5-6 pm meal for a week, then 1-2pm for a week and I’m about to have a 8-9 OMAD for a week. Gonna see how my body responds. Great info here! Thank you!!!
You should instead alternate days for OMAD times, but never eat after 4:30 PM. Also add Intermittent Fasting 18/6 and 24-48 hours Fasting on water every 12-15 days until you get to Ideal Weight (calculated by a formula and not subjective). Also weight exercises and stretching and gym machines for Cardio every 3-5 days a week would help you tremendously!
OMG! I just came across your video pressed play and as you were preparing your ketones I was shaking mine up. Synchronising ketones. Been carnivore for 18months and love love love the feeling and finding new people to follow who confirm that I am on the right health track. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
First time ever seeing this Dr, awesome!! Keto 4 years, felt great, high fat carnivore past 2.5 months, feel like $1M !!! I’m 61 yo and I weigh 160 lbs. I have felt “stuck” but don’t feel fat at all. I love sardines and I’m so happy this Dr promotes them, will definitely start sardine fast Monday morning, very excited to do that!! Look forward to binge watching her videos!!! Will add that when I was 14 yo put myself on Adkins, I saw him on Mike Douglas 🤭, I lost 40 lbs over the summer break from school. When I looked in the mirror I couldn’t see the weight loss because I just saw ME! Not fat me or thin me or pretty me or….I just saw ME!! Only way I could tell I had lost weight was putting on old clothes which were HUGE, and the scale didn’t lie🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Blessed to feel so great at my age.
@@michelesimpson2237 Well I ended up doing the sardine challenge for 4 1/2 days….saved a lot of $$ but didn’t lose any weight!!! I have since that was written lost five lbs so I’m happy about that!!
@@PissySkyKat I divide my glucose number by my ketone number. There are days I managed to have very low Dr. Boz ratio without trying so much and there are those times when my ratio goes up, in the 40’s and 50’s. Still in ketosis but the numbers are not great. I usually take exogenous ketones for 2-3 days and that seems to help.
This video is fantastic! One of the best I have seen! I have been intermittent fasting for a month now, 18/6, 24, & 36. One meal a day. I just added keto to the equation a week ago. So since 10/2 until today 10/15, I have lost 12.5 lbs! My understanding is that autophagy starts some where between 16-24 hrs of fasting. This video has explained so much about this process!!! Thank you!!! Btw, I am using the urine keto test strips which indicate that I have remained between 4.0 and 8.0. I hope these strips are correct. 🧐
I can't find a PCP keto friendly. I learn so much from you on keto, then dr. Ken Berry, dr. Anthony Chaffee, and all other real doctors that promotes, Proper Human Diet/ also carnivore. I almost died in 2022 from toxic meds the pcp, was rising the dosage. After 9 months of keto/ now carnivore, and no more toxic meds, i reverse all my 5 bad metabolic syndromes, lost from 230 lbs down to 155 lbs. I do carnivore/ omad. Giving my body time to clean, and becouse i am 52, i now feel like 22. I give up all those veggies, fruits or crapy grains, no dairy. Only meats, egg yolks, cooking in becon fats. I love it❤
Your video is really helpful. I learned a lot. I had a gastric bypass and your examples are not typical. I lost 120 pounds in a year. I’m 5’2”. My stomach became flat and I lost fat but little muscle. I went from a size 24 to an 8. I would recommend it to anyone desperate and having tried everything. The diet I followed after surgery was very close to keto.
Great presentation, I appreciate the work that went into making it understandable for the lay person. I will be changing up my eating window from tomorrow. Thanks!
I fast a couple days every once in awhile. I don’t do it for weight loss but it’s a pleasant side effect of Autophagy. Ps I’m 76 and been mostly low carb w/lots of meat. My ketones don’t get vary high like yours but I feel better the higher I register ,the better I feel. Thanks for your videos.
She gives the very best scientific explanation of these processes that I have ever heard. I’m a scientist and I follow several doctors advocating ketogenic diets, fasting and autophagy.
Except her “science” is not entirely accurate. I’m looking for evidence that her “ratio” has been studied and validated to be a clinically relevant ratio.
What you started talking about at about 36 minutes in...was me...Oh, my goodness! That is exactly how I felt when I got into a size 8. So emotional, I'm about to cry now talking about it. When I said to one of my good friends, that I have been overweight for over 25 years and my youngest child who was 21 at the time (today she is 22) had never seen me under a size 20! When I look at myself in the mirror, I still don't see a person who has fixed her life, her eating habits, her mindset, etc. I went and gained 10 pounds recently (on purpose) because I let peer pressure get to me. Where people were telling me that I looked 'too skinny'. I did, I let it get to me and put on 10 pounds (it was difficult, very difficult) because my eating habits had changed so much. I was used to fasting and getting my body into autophagy. I was used to eating a low-carb diet. I started eating more meat and eating fewer sweets when I'm just sitting at work. Anyway. What you said there just resonated with me and I felt that I had to share. I love your content!!!
What weight and height were you when everyone was saying you were too skinny if you don't mind me asking? With keto, as long as you're getting enough healthy fats in your diet, you can be thin but you won't look sickly skinny bc the fat makes you look at youthful and balanced.
It can be challenging but we cannot and will not ever change the opinions of others. You'll either be too big, or too small, now you look sick, oof you gained it back. I wish we would never comment on others body's.. So we have to be strong and know we are doing the right things for ourselves, our bodies. They will still talk but you will get stronger, then so will your response, then soon you'll stop responding altogether. P.s I've said, no, not too thin, just the right amount of healthy. Peace unto you❤
Doc, I recently found your channel and I love your focus on data. I've been using urine strips for 8 years to measure my ketones and recently they don't measure any even though I eat OMAD under 30 carbs per day. You have inspired me to improve my measuring. I love how you said you were not able to answer a person's question unless you saw their numbers. I wish most keto "experts" on youtube used data like you!
Keto-Carnivore for almost 3 months now, weight loss is slow (59 y/o, post menopausal w/o pred or diabetes) - 22 lbs so far, but my glucose has been great and ketones consistently 3.0-5.5 without supplementation, but I typically eat in a 6 hour window most days starting early in the day. Never heard about the sardine thing. I love them, but they don't love me back. Seem to get a histamine reaction, heartburn when I eat them or would love to try this. Regardless, I feel fantastic, off BP meds, anxiety is almost completely gone, more energy, don't get out of breath when exerting. Love this WOE. Still doing buttered coffee in AM, maybe should try cutting that out. I am finally able to drink just water without something in it too, which is amazing to me. Great info on autophagy.
This is so informative and interesting, thank you for your time and this illuminating look at why people who lose weight get such saggy skin. I've never seen it explained this way before.
I was a big drinker before going on a meat-heavy ketogenic diet. A few weeks in and I have loose skin in the worst place possible - my face. I hope autophagy will help with it over time. 🙏
I lost over 100 lbs twice. Once eating. High fiber and focus on protein following the canada food guide and exercising with intention. My breasts sagged (ok Inhave a connective tissue disorder called hEDS too and makes my skin extra stretchy..). Ok keto, what a huge difference in their placement and I 100% contribute it to autophagy and how keto taps into our stores differently. I was also able to get to my ideal weight without trying. My body knows where it wants to be. I was nearly 300 lbs the first time and hit 280 lbs the last. Being clean keto with little crap really helped my sleep and joint pain and reduced the amount of gluten caused itching and no longer required skin/face cream-- who knew! I never tested ketones but I trust what my body tells me. Don't forget the salt!
OMG! This video was AMAZING!!! I think you just gave me a part of my missing weight loss equation. Its so important to understand the physiology behind what my body is doing and why my weight loss has been so difficult. I've just discovered your channel and will be diving into the glucose/ketones/insulin connection. Very informative. I have turned my nose up at canned sardines, but I think I may need to put my bias aside for my own good. Thank you so much Dr. Boz!!!
I lost 13 lbs in 8 weeks - however I haven't reduced any inches. I found this talk really inspiring. I have been fasting but I never get my DBR under 70 - which is the best I ever got. Even with 36 hour fasts.
Thank you Dr Boz! I finally understand why I’ve been stuck for 6 months and my skin is not tight. Of course age doesn’t help turned 66 this Week. But IF and Keto has been the only way I have lost 61lbs. Thank you for your straight line explanation 🎉
why are you surprised. Skin becomes looser with age. Also excess skin from being overweight does not magically disappear. If you want the appearance of more muscles visible, lift weights!!!
Thank you for the information! You saying that moving eating window earlier is benefitial has actually confirmed my current experience. My eating window now is usually 4am-12am, since i get up very early and go to bed early as well. Before the shift in my sleep schedule I ate between 12am-8pm, and the impact on the weight loss was minimal, also it was really hard mentally to abstain from sugary processed foods in the evening and therefore it impacted my sleep quality and mood, so it wasn't sustainable at all. Now it's all good - sleep is better, making healthier food choices is far more easy also!
I lost 61 lbs in 6 months on IF & Keto I have been stuck there since. This week will be a year on IF. Saggy no matter what I Did. Going to change my eating window get back burning fat recycling proteins and autophagy. I’am that women she talks about need to somehow build the muscle and repair my Saggy skin.💪🏼
The first time I went just keto I lost 6 inches from my waist in about 70 days. I was also doing HIIT workouts 6 days a week. I ended up with loose skin here and there. Thankfully not noticable to others but it's stuck with me. Now I'm finishing up my first 36 hour fast, will be eating keto again and never going back. My partner has fatty liver disease, high cholesterol, water retention, migraines. Awful awful stuff and it's all diet and lifestyle so I'm bringing his butt with me. I'll be getting him to fast with me the next time while eating keto
I just bought your books and I am really loving your vids. You are the first Doc that is able to explain all that is happening to my body and all the failures and things that did happen in the past which no doc at all could explain into this detail than you! I listen to other docs on the carnivor/ketovore diet too but you are the best for me. I am a severe diabetic and I bought a ketone meter too and did most of the things you explained as to eating windows fasting alternate and getting to the most extreme one and not dying from it! Haha. My hba1c is down from up anywhere to 13 to about 7 now in 2,5 months!!!! I ditched Ozempic totally and I am only on 1 gluclazide now from 3 next to the Ozempic. I had Ozempic face already and I stopped because it was detrimental to my eyes. I damaged my eyes by using Ozempic which I didnt want too but I was finally convinced because I could not loose weight anymore and I had too. I am down 22.5 lbs in 2.5 months and down 2 dress sizes. I did have some stalls which went away by me just persevering changing my eating windows, fast here and there just change it frequently so my body didnt know what was coming next and didnt hold on to the weight that much. There are struggles I admit but I have gained so much good things already I am not willing to give in ever again. Thanks for educating me (us) and keep up the good work Doc! Love you for it! I thank GOD for docs like you telling the Truth on eating. Been overweight all my life I am 55 now and also have postmenopausal issues but I still can do this! THANKS!!
Hi, Dr. Boz. Thank you for your amazingly helpful videos. I have learned a great deal by listening to you. I have been on Keto for about 1 year and have lost 70 lbs (from 236 to 166). I am a 73 year old man, and am 5 feet, 8 1/2 inches tall. I am at my weight goal and am comfortable to stay at 165. But, I would like to continue with the benefits of autophagy to improve my mental acuity and reduce inflammation. What should I eat on the Keto diet to maintain my weight but continue to improve my long term health?
THANK YOU! ABSOLUTELY! That spreadsheet rocks. Just downloaded and checking it out. Will put it to use in great detail. This video has been very informative and well presented. I've done keto, water fasting and I even dry-fasted for 5 days (highly recommended, by the way) and you still taught me stuff I did not know or that I should look at from a differing perspective.
With fasting 72h, you get into deeper ketosis, DBR is lower, greater chance of higher autophagy, many people improve or get rid of the crepy & saggy skin.
The BEST LECTURE EVER !!! I finally get it. I started carnivore the last week in February and have been following UA-cam folks who are wonderful but I wasn’t having the results they had. Plus, I couldn’t understand why. And what the heck are macros?! “Don’t watch your calories” but “80% of calories need to come from fat”. How do I figure that out if I’m not watching calories. Soo confusing. I’m almost 60, slim but 15 years pre diabetic. Trying to reverse pre diabetes, autoimmune issues and brain fog. This finally makes sense. Thank you Dr. Boz!! 😊🙏
This is so true. I lost 100 pounds by calorie restriction and would only eat healthy meat, vegetables, and few carbs. I got down to a size 4. My body looked amazing. My doctor said I had a body of a 30 year old woman. When I started eating concentrated sugars again I gained 20 pounds and literally now have a soft mushy body and do not have any of the firm amazing body that I had six months ago. Not only did I gain 20 pounds but it literally put me back to a size 12.
Why did you start eating concentrated sugars again when that is part of what caused your weight gain in the first place? I don't understand people who change their eating habits to lose weight but then think that the weight will never come back and they can return to their old habits. Weight loss is never irreversible!
@@TheSouthIsHot theres many personal reasons/challenges someone may go thru to do that. Personally, as a single person, i was almost 4 yrs keto and because i live alone and needed homecare and on bedrest..they arent allowed to cook, just heat up and serve. I cant afford some products that could have helped more..There was only so much frozen food and preparation I could do being disabled. Luckily because I still eat omad and fast all day, Im still in my regular maintenance clothes just fine. Being fat adapted is huge. I get back into ketosis in 36 hrs which never would have happened for the first 9 months on keto. I am itchy with more joint pain and im literally itching to get back as I heal and become more independent. Not everyone is perfect and its good to support people to get back on and not just look at "their mistakes"
That's the problem with dieting...as soon as you stop and go "normal" it all comes back plus more. I really don't know the solution. Somehow I more and more believe in psychosomatic...I am 45 y/o and now i believe it is not being ok, having stress, unresolved chronic problems, not being authentic make us fat, because of our bad coping mechanism. Also, sadness make us sit between 4 walls, sedentary...and more fat.
This is an excellent video. I started Mounjaro on 12/9 and have lost about 98 pounds. I have been doing a restricted calorie keto diet and have been exercising. Between Moujnaro, CJC-1295/IM, BPC-157, and weight lifting, I've managed to get to a GKI of 1.0 several times. The weight I am able to lift has greatly increased and my cardio is much better. I believe I am actually gaining muscle and I have very minimal lose skin (far less than a normal-weight post-partum female). I've logged everything and would be happy to share the data if you think it would help with your patients.
I started mounjaro 10/2023 down 30lbs & am doing keto/carmivore too. I try to hit 120grams of protein daily. Hopefully I’m like you & not how dr boz is explaining.
Thank you . I learned why I tripped over my skin I think . My diet was not poor . It needed improvements . If I can't use urine glucose strips ,I'm out due to budget restriction . I felt some hope here and I appreciate you sharing yours !
Thank you. My husband and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm learning how to lose weight and learning how to help him gain muscle at age 72 after losing 20 lbs of mostly muscle, (sarcopenia, living with a MPN disorder). My weight loss is important to me but his muscle gain is more critical.
I'm with you. I understand that ifyou lose a lot of weight using autophagy. The explanation about the active proteins and recycling and the autophagy and the graphs is completey beyond me too. I think maybe we missed a more basic podcast, because I have no idea what she's talking about.
I was a bodybuilder years back, multiple severe accidents on top of everything torn. I am going to do this again. I had a C5 commander on the teams and them some, most brilliant person I will have ever met.
So glad I saw this because I’ve been researching Ozempic and thinking of asking my doc about it at my next appointment. I’ve been D2 for a few years now. Making some improvements but not nearly enough imo. But I had the SAME question about HOW you can lose weight in the presence of insulin. UPDATE: My doc suggested Mounjaro instead of Ozempic and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Three weeks in and my baseline blood sugar is down significantly AND I’ve naturally lost about 5 lbs so far with no feeling of deprivation or struggle. Plus I’m sleeping straight through the night (8hrs!) and not waking up in the middle to pee due to nighttime sugar surges. 😃 I also had a two week free trial of a CGM that I inserted a few days before my first Mounjaro shot so I was able to watch in real time as my stats started improving. Even though my insurance won’t cover the CGM, I’m convinced I want to continue with the shots even if I can’t monitor the improvements. 😃😃
@@littleminx79 sounds awesome for you! I’ve been doing keto and IF on and off for a few years now. When I can stick to it, I lose weight and all is well. My problem is that prior to that I leaned vegetarian most of my life (60 now) primarily because I don’t LIKE meat. I’m a creative cook, so I do try, but it’s still a struggle for me. I eat whole unprocessed foods a large bulk of the time and don’t have a sweet tooth. But years of subbing pasta or even whole grains for meat took a toll on my metabolic health. 😱 My main question here was HOW can Ozempic cause fat loss if it actively ups the production of insulin. This goes against everything I know about metabolism so I smelled a rat but didn’t know where it was hiding. I love getting the deets from the docs who know what they’re talking about. 😃 So No Ozempic for me. More green veg with a bit of meat for me, please. 😋
Unfortunately this video is too late for me. 😢 I have been watching the last week. Wishing this is the route I had gone. I am studying and joining in with this oh so smart lady. I used a compound of Ozempic and lost 50 lbs. So sad because my arms are so bad. I never dreamed this would happen. N naïve I know! The weather is changing and I’m hiding my arms. I’m looking to get healthy now. It’s crazy the sacrifice I made. If you’re on the fence jump off and get on the keto diet I’m hoping to be able to turn this around. Maybe naïve again but I’m gonna try. At least I’ll know in my mind that I’m doing the right thing. Thank you Doc for all the great information.
Hi! Thank you so much for the info you have shared. I am a new subscriber and am just wondering, regarding the sardine challenge, if there is a substitute for people with a histamine sensitivity?
@@ann-mariecoombes632 Unfortunately, Ann-Marie, I haven't yet received a reply, altho' it's been a month already. But I'm guessing there really isn't a substitute, since she has said she chose sardines for their specific fat-to-protein ratio. So I am currently waiting to buy fresh or frozen sardines, when they again become available in my area. If I hear of a substitute anywhere else, however, I will save your comment and try to remember to come back here and let you know.
@@houseofthegreaterdanes2807 You know, H, I have seen several requests now for info on substitutes, but no replies yet from Dr. Boz. So I suspect she doesn't really know what to substitute, since she did say she chose sardines in oil for its ratio of protein to fat (and probably it's Omega 3s). So after reading your question, I've started wondering if one couldn't just substitute eggs, or at least egg yolks (if sensitive to the whites); add in good quality olive oil and maybe a 1/4 tsp cod liver oil (if you can tolerate it); and use that! After all, there IS already a popular carnivore diet challenge where one only eats eggs for 3 days or something. (I forget the details.) So since a can of sardines has from 18 to 22 grams of protein, it would take only 3-4 whole eggs or 6-7 yolks to equal one can. And that plus maybe 1/2 to 1 Tbsp EVOO might do the trick! For myself, I recently had a can of sardines without a histamine reaction, so I will give myself a couple more weeks of healing and then give that a try. But if I react, I will then try this egg version myself. Good luck to us both!🤗
I had one shot of ozempic to lose weight, and the side effects were terrible. I couldn't wait for it to get out of my system. I was having success with intermittent fasting. The ozempic shot forced me to have to eat sugar just to prevent from hypoglycemia. I am back on just intermittent fasting now and back on track.
For me it was heart palpitations, as long as I didn’t do more than breathe, I was okay but get up and walk to the bathroom and my heart was struggling and I’d get short of breath. Bad for me, real bad.
Wow, My question is finally answered. I should have stayed with the ketosis while loosing from gastric sleeve and ozempic. I stayed with protien low carb but not ketosis, now I have loose wrinkly skin and muscle loss. I'm thinner but a fatter version of my ideal weight. So I need to loose more weight to loose the fat I shouldn't have at this weight. I think it's back to ketosis.
1) With the sardine challenge, can you substitute canned salmon or tuna? Or does it have to be sardines? I’ve tried them once but am not really a fan. 2) With keto and carnivore, I’ve heard about not counting calories as much. How do you make sure you’re eating enough calories in the day but not too much or too little? And what would too little be considered? I’ve heard about trying to not go under 1200 calories yet am wondering how these numbers came about. How much did people years ago eat (such as in colonial times or pioneers in the 1800s)? 3) Does Metformin make autophagy harder? I do take that for Pre-Diabetes. I’m trying to get back into keto (more meat based than plant based, although I do like berries/low carb fruit, and eat some veggies here and there. I have low iron without anemia so eat meat for the heme iron). I am looking into a breast reduction surgery if insurance can cover it. I mostly currently eat between 11am and 7pm. I get up around 5am most mornings for work (I usually have to be at work for 6am) so don’t eat before work as I don’t want to get up even earlier and need time to brush my teeth and not have food within 20 minutes of doing that).
I believe you can substitute almost any canned fish as log as it's fatty. I personally like Kippered Herring over sardines. I would compare the fat content on the can/package with the sardines. I believe the lack of carbs and a lot of fat both contribute to ketosis. The lack of carbs, being essential. Dr. Boz has at least one short video dedicated to the sardine fast. Search for it in her channel.
Breasts are predominantly fat. I would hold off on rhe breastvreduction till after your weigh loss journey. You may end up rather flat chested if you get the surgery before hand.
@@velviemckenzie6473 I had my reduction surgery in July. I’ve actually never liked being big on top so told the surgeon I wanted to go as small as possible. I’m about a B cup now. And if I was to go down to A through exercise/diet/weight loss, that would be fine with me. Not everyone likes large breasts. Plus, there are ways to pad up a bra a bit if desired.
I just found this channel. You are very informative. I was diagnosed pre diabetic about eight years ago. My nurse practitioner told me to do keto. I lost forty pounds in two months. Then, in Florida, hurricane Ian was coming right at us and I said, 'If I'm going to die, I'm going to have my white mountain bread and irish butter! Lol. Needless to say, it avoided us, but I went off keto and gained all of the weight back and more. I started keto again two weeks ago and have lost ten pounds. But I think I am mostly losing inches because my clothes fit better. I am determined to make keto a way of life. I really miss my pasta, but if I go off keto, I know I will miss feeling better. Have you ever heard of cinnachrome? If so, what do you think about it's effects on individuals with type two diabetes? I was told that someone with type 2 went on it, and a month later, his blood sugars are below eighty, and he feels better than ever. I am in Sarasota and am interested in coming to one of your support groups! Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
I have low A1C and don’t get into ketosis very easily. My guess is I may produce a lot of insulin even with low carb meals and I just never get rid of it. Lately I’ve been focusing on achieving autophagy and I’ve actually lost weight consistently!! Every time the scale goes down, I’m shocked because I’ve worked so hard, A1C around 5, for so long with no change.
I'm 6' tall and my starting weight was 335lbs. It's been about 3 weeks and I have lost 12 lbs. It's coming off slowly. I noticed My body was acting differently than when I have done this before. Turns out I have become more insulin resistant. So I went keto and I am on the sardine fast at the moment. (day 2) . I'm not really monitoring glucose or ketone levels at the moment. Made some keto chocolates from butter (fat bombs) etc. Oh yea, I am also working out every day. Weight training and HIIT cardio on a bike on in-between days. I'm really starting to get a rhythm going (daily routine) . I REALLY want to do this without surgery. I will not do it. I think that having the surgery is weak mindedness and no self control. I know someone who did the bypass and he looks fantastic! HOWEVER......ALFTER The surgery, he almost died TWICE. It was because the surgery. He is a rich guy, super lazy. We tried to tell him and he would not listen. He wasn't even that big! I want to be a good example to him, my sons and my family. To show them you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Hi Dr. Boz. I absolutely love your content and can listen to you all day. I'm a 54 year old male, 6'2" tall and weighed in at 371.1 lbs. this morning. I struggle with night eating and tend to do better with managing it if I eat later in the evening, around 6-7pm. I would typically eat carnivore with my window being 12pm-6-7pm. If I remain strict carnivore with < 20 grams of carbs per day will I eventually reach autophagy? Should I shorten my eating window to 2pm-6pm? How to you tell if you are insulin resistant? Thanks again for all of the information you are putting out.
I know you are looking for a Dr. Boz response, but I am compelled to answer. Just start at the place that will give you the most success. Once you're on the journey, losing weight, etc, you'll automatically tweak things, experiment, etc. Initially, give yourself the best opportunity to get results. If that's eating at midnight, eat at midnight. Just get going, and get out of your own way. Things will fall into place from there. What works for others may not work for you. With ❤️
@@energeticsoulhealer888 Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it and the support. That makes total sense. I just need to beat the damn night eating. That is a mind thing!
@@jackfoxxx68 It is a mind thing for sure - I deal with the same issues. What I found is - that if I eat more fat - real butter or even a spoon of nut butter in the evening, it deals with that issue just beautifully. I am not strict keto or carnivore - I go back and forth between both, but I do intermittent fasting every day with a varying eating window of 4-6 hrs most days. When I really load up on eating fats - I am never hungry or even tempted to eat. Food simply doesn't interest me then. Also - brushing my teeth when I start getting cravings, and rinsing with essential oil waters works for me as well [that's when the mind thing is @work, not the stomach]... I've done my first 70 hr fast and it wasn't all that bad - not so much hungry, rather than pre-occupied THINKING about food. I'm getting ready to do a 48 or even 72 hr fast starting tomorrow again - I allow myself to be flexible without forcing myself - I am my own best motivator!
For me, my night eating got better when I began to have more hobbies and meaningful extra skills. When I get off work, I write, I draw , and I study for programming to create video game mods. These are all cognitively intensive and using my hands, so I can’t mindlessly eat nor am I thinking about it because I’m so focused on the task. Night eating is probably just a habit you need to break with another healthier activity that brings you the same kind of joy or dopamine hit
I injected Ozempic for over two years. I had no appetite suppression or weight loss. I don’t know if it really affected my blood sugar. I quit it two months ago for I/F, walking, calorie restriction, and the Keto diet. I’ve lost thirty pounds, dropped my blood sugar dramatically, and my hunger is completely satied. The sardine challenge starts on Monday and I’m really excited to see what happens.
I’d like to eventually hit size 20. That’s what I was as a 21 year old private in the army, running 20 miles in the mountains with a 19% body fat. Size 4, I don’t think you could stuff my skeleton into! Size 28 right now. Keto for 9 months and 60 lb weight loss after diabetic diagnosis. I’ve paused for a while, now low carb rather than keto.weight loss has stopped but glucose is holding without meds. I’ll push again when I’m ready. 5’11” and 62 yo woman btw.
@iamyoutoo1 I was a peacetime soldier, there for the beer and a way out of my parents' house during a recession. It wasn't a patriot thing. Military service does not equal patriotism.
I have eaten low carb before and got into ketosis very easily, but not anymore. Now, I take Ozempic, my A1C is down to 4.9, I eat VERY LOW CARB, and I've lost 120 pounds, after stalling at 80 pounds lost.
i'm a 54 year old male. currently on Ozempic (semaglutide) for 8 weeks now with a keto friendly diet, one meal a day in the morning to help keep insulin levels down for most of the day and night. Down 30 lbs in 8 weeks. drink water, no processed foods. gym about every other day. so far so good but for me i still have hunger pains throughout the day even while on Ozempic so it's not a miracle drug some people make it out to be. there is still some sacrifice in the journey but the rewards are worth it. no gaunt face (yet) lol
6 months on Ozempic and the hunger pains aren't as bad as the first 3 months. down 60+ lbs. still one meal a day and gym 5 days a week. it's all good. lifting weights to stay healthy , not going for Mr. Universe look@@richardlawson6787
I convinced my husband to talk to his dr to get off of Metformin and his dr said Metformin is keeping you alive… that FINALLY convinced my husband to do keto mojo measuring, eating coconut and fish and he has reduced his A1c to 5.7 from 7.1… he also started lifting weights almost daily, weekends off.
I am struggling with intermittent fasting. I like eating my dinner before 4pm, for years. I use turmeric and it does work. Then covid hit. I got lazy. I didn't exercise or walk. I didn't have weight gain. But, my numbers were a mess. I have added chair yoga and exercising for approximately 1/2 an hour, daily. I am 69, arthritic hip, and wake up with blood sugars at 195 to 235. I also wake up ravenous. Today I will eat at noon. Next week, I will start eating 4am as my only week.
You suggest that people on Ozempic may be losing weight without autophagy and may lose weight without dropping in clothing size. I wonder how much of that is related to autophagy and how much is failure to focus on saving and building muscle with protein consumption and resistance training? Did these two friends do dexascans to compare their body fat versus muscle mass?
I do IF (TRE,OMAD and 2MAD) and Fasting. Eat as late as possible and do mostly 15:00-19:00. Then I do a few times a month a sleep-day-sleep fast. And fasting is essentially doing Keto. Don't do Keto 100% tho. But are on and off. And having autophagy, wen I have, I can feel it on my skin, great feeling. Thanks for the vid.
Hmmm. Water fasting for 30 days engages both a state of ketosis and autophagy, yet many will have loose skin due to rapid weight loss. Autophagy certainly helps clean up loose skin, but the speed of the weight loss matters a great deal.
I have loose skin on both arm before I lose weight it took me 10 years to lose 80 pounds. I did fasting many times a year but loose skin still hanging on
Hello I am reading the comments and I feel like crying, some of you guys are so encouraging please help me I am 75lbs overweight I can’t seems to stay on a diet no matter how I try.
Don't give up, we are all struggling. Choose something and stick with it and then layer it on top of a new change. Also, sometimes the daily routines are too hum drum to follow so maybe use varied techniques and fasting windows. I don't have it figure out. God bless you!
when she was talking about people that hop on the scale and dont lose a single pound but still change is such a big thing. people always care about continual visual improvements and visual keys of getting better and when the obvious ones are not there people get discouraged but you just need to either stay the course or make small adjustments to keep going. i am currently 185ish (i go from 180 to 190 cause different eating times cause of holidays) and iu have stayed at the 185lb for a while and would like to go to 175 but that requires more aggressive diet and exercise im not ready to take on quite yet but yet staying the course and continuing to limit food intake along with a good gym scheduel i went from pants that were a 38 to being able to get away with a 34 while still being the same weight. the body takes a long time to slowly change and the more you can keep in the range needed the more often it can happen but if you dont have the discipline to stay the course then your results will be slower.
I lost 60 pounds easy peezy keto . Got about 40-50 more to go , but now I’m in menopause , constantly feeling starved , definitely too much fat consumption especially in the morning coffee from 7-10am . Lots of loose skin . I need to take her wisdom and teaching serious and dump everything I thought I knew and that previously worked for me . Do know that my morning glucoses are between 110-120 , they were 150’s before I started keto 2 years ago . At this point I’m on dirty keto to just maintain but no longer have that abounding energy nor feel full for hours like I used too
see Dr Ken Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet. you are probably getting too many carbs. if you are always hungary, definitely too many carbs and not enough fat. switching to carnivore can help get you back on track... Beef, butter, bacon and eggs are my friends!!! The PHD cured my NAFLD,pre-diabeties, CKD, high BP and increased my testosterone. early morning glucose elevation can be the Dawn Effect. See Ben Bickman vids on insulin resistance. you could also be a cholesterol hyper-responder. see Dave Feldman's vids on LMHR.
High fat helps with hormonal health, especially in women. It helps skin looks better, including getting rid of stretch marks and cellulite. Not sure how much fat you’re having, but most people aren’t having enough or are having the wrong kinds (vegetable/seed oils, trans fat). When you fast, clean fast with just water, tea or black coffee, then have your fats when you eat.
I lost weight on the keto/ EatLikeABear diet. I went from a size 18 to a size 12. I hadn’t been a size 12 since before the doc gave me medicines that caused me to gain 70 pounds in 10 months in 1992. I just had to share so told a woman at the Fred Meyers store, and she was nice enough to be excited for me.
I lost over 150 pounds, using my ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM and THCV, not only have I kept it off for over 6 yrs., there were ZERO hunger pains involved, I used to weigh over 450 pounds and 6 years later I weigh in at 260 pounds...
😊I understand your saying that if you lose a lot of weight using autophagy, you won't have sagging skin, but I can't understand the explanation, the active protein recycling and the graphs is completely beyond me too. I convinced I missed one or more basic podcasts (continuum 1-4, and aotophagy 1, 2, and perhaps 3). because I'm completely lost.

I was offered Ozempic by my doctor. I am a female, 53 years old, 5’7 and was 205 pounds. I have tried many diets too. While I have not hit peri menopause yet, I do worry about additional weight when I do. I said no to the Ozempic and simply eliminated almost all sugar from diet, I eat whole foods, proteins and veggies. Almost no fruit, no juice or soft drinks. Pasta, rice and potato is a rare treat. I eliminated snacking. As I work night shift, I eat one large meat during the day and a tiny meal on my lunch break at 4am. I have committed to also going to the gym at my work on my lunch break and do light weights. I do a lot of walking. In a few weeks I have lost ten pounds and I am 195 today. The journey continues.
Good job
Congratulations. You sound like you’re seriously committed. How are you doing a month later?
You can lose ten pounds a week if you learn how to fast...
I’m doing all this but no movement on the scale.
In addition, try Intermittent Fasting 18/6 Daily with Last Meal before 4 PM and then 24 - 48 Intermittent Fasting once every 12 days. Intermittent Fasting is much better for true Autophagy and truly losing weight and reversing Diabetes and OBESETY.
I never thought i would hear an MD say that diabetes type 2 is a choice, if doctors could only be this sincere with patients it would be life altering. So glad I stumbled onto this video.
We have been keto for 6 years and she was one of the first Doc I found! She’s awesome! 6 years later we still listen to her video.
Amen to that. Few Dr's are good Dr's who are willing to keep up with the research and not follow 'automated' status quo...
My Doctor said this to me …
But if dr said it is what you eat… would you change. Ask america
Yes, i was type 2 for approximately 3 years, and as a result of all the medications they put me on I could barely leave the house due to the side effects. I am down over 50 pounds and walk 3-5 miles 4-5 days a week. I wish my doctor had told me about keto when I was struggling. In the end it was channel's like this that helped me to get healthy again. Never looked back!
Thanks so much, im a alcoholic and a binge eater. Especially with sugar and carbs. I tried keto but making keto approved desserts would always lead me back to binges. Im on day 2 of carnivore and feeling great
Couldn’t agree more. Once you taste that sweetness you can’t stop! Better to stay away.
A day at a time - and im giving myself the same advice
Just don’t make sweets. Meat and veggies. Make keto pasta and bread instead.
I never had a problem, however tor some reason after a few weeks of carnivore I no longer wanted to drink anymore. Hope it works for you!
Alcohol is Lots of CARBS and against Keto Diet and while drinking you will not be losing weight, so that's CARB #1 you should permanently ban from your Diet!
This is a trip. I am 80-90lbs over weight. The doctor wanted me to try Manjaro but I decided to buy your book Dr Boz.
How is it going?
I am sitting listing this 54 years old and been loosing 21 kg and have just a little saggy skin and feel I am finally in a good place with my health and Dr. Boz teaching is music to my ears. (By the way...had a pause in the video to eat a salad with a box of sadines with oilive oil and I feel great. :) Thank you! There were times in the video I had goose bomps and others times I had tears, wow, this can be life changing for many of us. Her teaching info is just right for me at the stage I am in on my health restoration journey. Bless you Doc!
AMAZING INFORMATION!! Thank you so much Dr. Boz. Thank God I was doing fasting when I started my weight released journey, I did it with out knowing this info and I am so blessed, so far 30+ lbs down and 20 to go and no lose skin! xo❤
What do you eat?
@@annag9353 basically a keto diet, high in fats, protein, low carbs, and working out, xo
This is my favorite Dr. Boz video - The 80 lb loss without and with AUTOPHAGY photo just blew my mind!! The difference is astounding. Autophagy = Beautiful, firm body. Low cal loss body is a sad, flabby mess which would require skin removal surgery to correct. Surgery is very expensive and leaves huge scars (Looks like Frankenstein to me). Autophagy is free and leaves you looking like a Rock Star!
Love this comment!
What is autophagy???please need to find out
2019 had my gallbladder and now I cannot loose weight 😢
I also Hashimoto under active thyroid 😢
@@francakarlis7412 the easiest thing to do is to look it up. I would try to explain it but I know I'll mess it up. You could probably look up Dr. Boz and Autophagy and find the answer. Also, Dr. Ken Berry has a great video about Hashimoto's, no gall bladder and the Keto way of eating.
@@francakarlis7412 watch some videos by Dr. Mindy Pelz. She specializes in ketogenic eating and female hormones :)
@@francakarlis7412watch Dr Ken Berry here on UA-cam
That was fantastic - I've watched a lot of videos about autophagy but seeing you put things into perspective this way was very helpful. And the tip about moving the eating window sooner towards the morning - life changing, really.
Thank you very much ❤
I could just HUG you!!! This makes so much sense about what is going on with my body (almost 60) ... & saggy skin has been a major fear for me ... Thank you!!!
what she say is not the whole truth. the bariatric is with the skin and a size issues because the surgery is way more agressive that any diet. the skin problem is because you lose the weight way too fast like is 500--800 calories a day for a body that needs 2200-2500(plus exercises), and the size could be the same problem cause with so low calories usually low on protein and almost no exercise(post surgery), anyone will lose a lot of muscle, and muscle is way smaller than fat, so she could easily lost 5--10 pounds of muscle more than needed in the process.
another thing that is alot of bullshit is her metric and her graghs, anyone that is consuming less calories than needed to maintain your bodymass. gets in to autophagy(a lot of papers proving that already), some authophagy is good a lot of it maybe not that good(research needed but you could be destroying some cells with autophagy in excess that you have to remake it right in your next meal) autophagy do not break only old and junk cells, and if is always high they break what is easy to break(especially if in need of fast energy).
and if it was all true the best way would be fasting like 36 hours than 1 big meal, than fasting again 36 hours, the big meal would take like 8-12 hours to digest , and get 24+ hours of autophagy(no ups and downs, and don't need to be testing )

Mind-boggling video. One of the best videos I have ever watched. You have mastery of the subject and clarity of thought. Above all like your facial expressions. They impacted me most. Got to know about keeping track of Ketones something no one has ever told. God bless you.
I am from India and am sharing this video in all my groups. Thank you again Dr.
I just want to say thank you for today's stream. I learned so much. I have been struggling to get onto keto for months, but the last week has been great! I have a Dr Boz ratio of around 50. I am hoping to get it below 40 soon 🙂 So thankful that I can do my healing journey alongside this amazing group of people.
I got up to 168 10 years ago (peri & menopause age 48) and started a whole plant food based, high starch diet. I did lose about 10 pounds and was able to maintain there easily (even though I moved to Mississippi)😆. However, I was stuck there and could never seem to get below 155. Less than 3 months ago I decided to try Keto so I could break my addiction to nacho chips (my cheat food) and corn tortillas so I could get into my old ski pants. What a paradigm shift! I hadn't eaten any animal products or even oil for 10 years(except what was in corn chips, or other times I would cheat on my lifestyle diet). Wow! I lost 10 lbs within a couple weeks. I platueued at 152 but learned about IF and extended fasting. That helped me break under 150 down to 147, only 2 pounds over college weight. I love the convenience of OMAD ( compared to eating 5-6 times/day) and am amazed how well I handled 24 to 63 hour fasts. Since I am used to eating lots of vegetables the shift to a mostly whole food keto has been fairly easy. I just carry canned asparagus and sardines in my car in case I can't make it though the 23 hours to OMAD
The weight you lost while on Keto was most likely water weight. I lost 20 pounds in two months, but did not lose another pound over the next 12 months. I ate twice a day, with an intermittent fast ratio of 16-8. Many days I ingested zero carbs, but never went over 30 on any given day. I felt sluggish, had bouts of sleeplessness, and never felt fully alive. There must be a better way. I've noticed the Keto priesthood is always selling something, so I generally don't follow those that do. Be well.
I have to say I was so uncomfortable with muscle cramps on Keto. Nothing helped, no amount of magnesium etc. My liver would also twinge. So I read the Mastering Diabetes and went back to low fat vegetarian. It's all individual. Recently I've found berberine makes a huge difference and I'm about to try apple cider vinegar
@@jacksquat4140 So I've had a totally different experience with keto. I've lost 66 lbs since 2021 most of it in my visceral fat area. I do IF and keto and my carbs are roughly 20-60 a day- but I don't really count them I just eat high fiber keto veg. I don't eat any processed foods and no fake sugars either. I haven't lost 66 lbs of water. I never feel hungry anymore like I did when I ate sugars and starches. I have increased my muscle mass and at 50 I'm in the best shape of my life. I feel amazing. My inflammation and my autoimmunes are better. I think you can do keto wrong, buying products or eating processed food is the wrong way. You can do any eating approach wrong.
@@biankablack5600: Perhaps Metabolic Syndrome, and a raging case of Type Two, thwarted my efforts? Then again, I just had my Testosterone checked and it wasn't even on the chart. If one's hormones are offline, or fighting against us, I don't think anything will help until they cooperate.
@@jacksquat4140 too true, hormone issues are a major factor and stress really effects them too. I had colon cancer and my weight gain increased in recovery do to the stress. I definitely had metabolic syndrome too, but now just a couple of years later with healthy keto (meaning no processed stuff and a focus on good fats, fish, and eggs, nuts and occasional grass fed dairy and meat) I am truly recovered. I hope you find an answer that works for you. I think IF helps most people.
This is the most forward explanation to ever come from a doctor. Very well explained.
This was me- here's the difference now- of breaking through stalls- I eat all Carnivore. I fast 2 x 45-48's a week or a 69-72 hour 1x a week. OMAD on the other days. Maybe a 2mad on a weekend- I added Sardines on longer fasts. over 17 hours I will have a can with salt and pepper. Finally losing again. Skin looks and feels great. and at 46- my inflammation is almost gone in my knees. 20 down since Nov 7th. Yaay-- havent done that in a while! Thank you Dr. Boz. Working my way up to a 5 day fast. Which I have done- it just has been a while. Love from Minnesota.
I've been doing carnivore for about 5 weeks. I have MAYBE lost 10lbs (my original scale was broken so not sure). I have 30-50 to lose. But I've lost enough inches for people to notice and remark on it. And my arms have shocked me. Even when I was in my 20s and lost 60lbs with calorie restriction, my arms never looked this beautiful (I'm 45). This is the first video I've ever seen of yours, and I'm so excited because I must be doing it right this time.
Cutting out sugar alone will change your body to a more normal look. Mine did after I cut sugar, and that was before I did keto. Eventually I lost 65 pounds, but I did not go on a diet the first four years. I just cut sugar, sugar substiturs, gluten and processed foods. After going on keto I lost an additional 35 or so pounds over two years. It took me longer than most people because every ten pound loss was a strong plateau, which there is a medical reason for. Stay on track and enjoy your new body!
@@velvetbees thank you. It's been very slow, which is a little discouraging. But I feel really good and my blood sugar is steady, which has never been the case in my life (I used to be the definition of hangry!🤣)
@@mycupoverflows7811 Great job! Losing slower is supposed to be healthier in the long run than losing fast.
Tried both, I have agree with you, the way you lose weight on carnivore is better. Your body, skin etc adjust so much better for some reason.
@@velvetbeescongratulations!
This is the first time in a long time, or ever, that I have listened to a health advice for the full length of the vide and not move away, or just cut to something else. This just does not happen, not even with the courses that I am taking ight now. During this whole vlog I was completely attentive and my focus laser sharp, no brain fog, no boredom; I've enjoyed every single minute of it, and have learnt a great deal, thank you ever so much, something about the way you say what you are saying and the energy behind it....
Ive been learning and practicing fasting for the last ten days and your video has put together everything i needed. Thank you so much
I lost 10 lbs on keto and IF, and went from a size 12 to a loose size 8. It is weird, but I love it!
In 10 pounds?
Was it mostly in the belly?
I skipped pant sizes with 10 lbs lost twice in my journey! I also lost a pant size with no loss once and it wasn't muscle gain as Im disabled and pretty inactive. Its strange how the body shifts happen!
@@dana102083ok...its been four months...did you keep it off?!
Congratulations!
I have to thank you from the bottom of my heart. I never understood keto and the numbers until you explained. I always had glucose in the high one hundreds and my ketones were mostly .5 or below. I completed the 72 hour sardine fast tonight and my ketones are 2.7 and glucose is 87. I have never had those numbers and I owe it to you. I lost 3 pounds also! Thank you so much! You are my Angel 👼 ❤
How do you check ketones
@@mrsz1988 I have a keto mojo meter that checks glucose and ketones. You have to prick your finger and apply the blood to a strip that inserted in the meter, reads everything

Dont worry about carbs... learn how to fast and you can eat what you want
I’ve been going since Jan 5 Started a 5 day fast and then went OMAD as a carnivore diet. By Jan 23 I was down from 223 to 209. Now I’m moving my OMAD around. 5-6 pm meal for a week, then 1-2pm for a week and I’m about to have a 8-9 OMAD for a week. Gonna see how my body responds. Great info here! Thank you!!!
thanks for sharing, did you notice differences in the feeding time?
???
Definitely have to wonder, did it go well ?
You should instead alternate days for OMAD times, but never eat after 4:30 PM. Also add Intermittent Fasting 18/6 and 24-48 hours Fasting on water every 12-15 days until you get to Ideal Weight (calculated by a formula and not subjective). Also weight exercises and stretching and gym machines for Cardio every 3-5 days a week would help you tremendously!
how's it going now 6 months later?
Thank you Dr Boz for sharing your immense knowledge!! And for testing your ideas in real time! ❤
Dr. Box, thank you for the Autophagy explanation vs calorie restriction benefits 😊❤
This is the first video that takes about a real application of low GKI and autophagy :) Great!
Keto , OMAD and the resulting autophagy has changed my life. Every aspect of my life has improved and I am 68.
good to know, thanks
Carnivore, OMAD and autophagy has been mine.
@@5150Bud I am carnivore but can't get to autophagy I also am omad
Wow! You explained things so well that I had no trouble following along in a subject I’m really interested in but know very little about. Thank you
OMG! I just came across your video pressed play and as you were preparing your ketones I was shaking mine up. Synchronising ketones. Been carnivore for 18months and love love love the feeling and finding new people to follow who confirm that I am on the right health track. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.
Where do you get ketones TY drink?
@@kberlyc32 from Prüvit. Do you take them as well?
The liver produces the ketones...
First time ever seeing this Dr, awesome!! Keto 4 years, felt great, high fat carnivore past 2.5 months, feel like $1M !!! I’m 61 yo and I weigh 160 lbs. I have felt “stuck” but don’t feel fat at all. I love sardines and I’m so happy this Dr promotes them, will definitely start sardine fast Monday morning, very excited to do that!!
Look forward to binge watching her videos!!! Will add that when I was 14 yo put myself on Adkins, I saw him on Mike Douglas 🤭, I lost 40 lbs over the summer break from school. When I looked in the mirror I couldn’t see the weight loss because I just saw ME! Not fat me or thin me or pretty me or….I just saw ME!! Only way I could tell I had lost weight was putting on old clothes which were HUGE, and the scale didn’t lie🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️ Blessed to feel so great at my age.
How did the sardine fast go? I just found Dr. Boz a few days ago.
@@michelesimpson2237 Well I ended up doing the sardine challenge for 4 1/2 days….saved a lot of $$ but didn’t lose any weight!!! I have since that was written lost five lbs so I’m happy about that!!
I now understand why it’s important to move my eating window up to earlier in the day. Thank you Dr Boz!
I have been Carnivore as well since July 2022. What I have noticed is that if I eat btwn 12 - 3, I will experience A LOT less snoring. 😁
What do you mean by moving up? Do you stop eating earlier?
@Susan Munson Yes, I move it up to earlier in the day. I try to eat btwn 12 - 3. I find that my snoring goes away if I don't eat late at night.
Dr Berg is better n smarter
I found that if I eat between 4 and 5 pm, my fasting blood sugar is within the normal range.
I am on carnivore diet, eating once a day since January 10. My Dr. Boz ratio has been between 10 and 20 for the last 8 days.
That’s awesome Maya!
Way to go Maya!
How do we get these numbers to calculate this ratio? I'm on a not so strict carnivore diet ATM, stalled and getting frustrated.
@@PissySkyKat I divide my glucose number by my ketone number. There are days I managed to have very low Dr. Boz ratio without trying so much and there are those times when my ratio goes up, in the 40’s and 50’s. Still in ketosis but the numbers are not great. I usually take exogenous ketones for 2-3 days and that seems to help.
@@mayapopova9456 I had to look up ways to test. Right now all I have is a blood glucose meter.
This video is fantastic! One of the best I have seen! I have been intermittent fasting for a month now, 18/6, 24, & 36. One meal a day. I just added keto to the equation a week ago. So since 10/2 until today 10/15, I have lost 12.5 lbs! My understanding is that autophagy starts some where between 16-24 hrs of fasting. This video has explained so much about this process!!! Thank you!!! Btw, I am using the urine keto test strips which indicate that I have remained between 4.0 and 8.0. I hope these strips are correct. 🧐
I can't find a PCP keto friendly. I learn so much from you on keto, then dr. Ken Berry, dr. Anthony Chaffee, and all other real doctors that promotes, Proper Human Diet/ also carnivore. I almost died in 2022 from toxic meds the pcp, was rising the dosage. After 9 months of keto/ now carnivore, and no more toxic meds, i reverse all my 5 bad metabolic syndromes, lost from 230 lbs down to 155 lbs. I do carnivore/ omad. Giving my body time to clean, and becouse i am 52, i now feel like 22. I give up all those veggies, fruits or crapy grains, no dairy. Only meats, egg yolks, cooking in becon fats. I love it❤
Wow, way to go you!! And I hope you dumped the crappy PCP, too!
Your video is really helpful. I learned a lot. I had a gastric bypass and your examples are not typical. I lost 120 pounds in a year. I’m 5’2”. My stomach became flat and I lost fat but little muscle. I went from a size 24 to an 8. I would recommend it to anyone desperate and having tried everything. The diet I followed after surgery was very close to keto.
Congratulations!
Great presentation, I appreciate the work that went into making it understandable for the lay person. I will be changing up my eating window from tomorrow. Thanks!
I fast a couple days every once in awhile. I don’t do it for weight loss but it’s a pleasant side effect of Autophagy. Ps I’m 76 and been mostly low carb w/lots of meat. My ketones don’t get vary high like yours but I feel better the higher I register ,the better I feel. Thanks for your videos.
You are the icing on the keto cake. ❤🎉🎉🎉 You are the cake we need, the sweetest!!!
I love the way you explain autophagy!
She gives the very best scientific explanation of these processes that I have ever heard. I’m a scientist and I follow several doctors advocating ketogenic diets, fasting and autophagy.
Except her “science” is not entirely accurate. I’m looking for evidence that her “ratio” has been studied and validated to be a clinically relevant ratio.
Just experiment for yourself...i don't "follow" anybody i lead...learn how to simply stop eating for long periods and when you do eat enjoy all foods
What you started talking about at about 36 minutes in...was me...Oh, my goodness! That is exactly how I felt when I got into a size 8. So emotional, I'm about to cry now talking about it. When I said to one of my good friends, that I have been overweight for over 25 years and my youngest child who was 21 at the time (today she is 22) had never seen me under a size 20! When I look at myself in the mirror, I still don't see a person who has fixed her life, her eating habits, her mindset, etc. I went and gained 10 pounds recently (on purpose) because I let peer pressure get to me. Where people were telling me that I looked 'too skinny'. I did, I let it get to me and put on 10 pounds (it was difficult, very difficult) because my eating habits had changed so much. I was used to fasting and getting my body into autophagy. I was used to eating a low-carb diet. I started eating more meat and eating fewer sweets when I'm just sitting at work. Anyway. What you said there just resonated with me and I felt that I had to share. I love your content!!!
What weight and height were you when everyone was saying you were too skinny if you don't mind me asking? With keto, as long as you're getting enough healthy fats in your diet, you can be thin but you won't look sickly skinny bc the fat makes you look at youthful and balanced.
It can be challenging but we cannot and will not ever change the opinions of others. You'll either be too big, or too small, now you look sick, oof you gained it back. I wish we would never comment on others body's.. So we have to be strong and know we are doing the right things for ourselves, our bodies. They will still talk but you will get stronger, then so will your response, then soon you'll stop responding altogether. P.s I've said, no, not too thin, just the right amount of healthy. Peace unto you❤
@@reInspireRe Thank you for that.
@@rose.h3220 You're very welcome
Doubt anybody was saying you were skinny in a size eight...lets keep this real you just wanted to pig out thats why you got big to start with
You have answered so many questions for me that my doctor couldn’t or wouldn’t. Thank you.
Doc, I recently found your channel and I love your focus on data. I've been using urine strips for 8 years to measure my ketones and recently they don't measure any even though I eat OMAD under 30 carbs per day. You have inspired me to improve my measuring. I love how you said you were not able to answer a person's question unless you saw their numbers. I wish most keto "experts" on youtube used data like you!
Keto-Carnivore for almost 3 months now, weight loss is slow (59 y/o, post menopausal w/o pred or diabetes) - 22 lbs so far, but my glucose has been great and ketones consistently 3.0-5.5 without supplementation, but I typically eat in a 6 hour window most days starting early in the day. Never heard about the sardine thing. I love them, but they don't love me back. Seem to get a histamine reaction, heartburn when I eat them or would love to try this. Regardless, I feel fantastic, off BP meds, anxiety is almost completely gone, more energy, don't get out of breath when exerting. Love this WOE. Still doing buttered coffee in AM, maybe should try cutting that out. I am finally able to drink just water without something in it too, which is amazing to me. Great info on autophagy.
This is so informative and interesting, thank you for your time and this illuminating look at why people who lose weight get such saggy skin. I've never seen it explained this way before.
I was a big drinker before going on a meat-heavy ketogenic diet. A few weeks in and I have loose skin in the worst place possible - my face. I hope autophagy will help with it over time. 🙏
I lost over 100 lbs twice. Once eating. High fiber and focus on protein following the canada food guide and exercising with intention. My breasts sagged (ok Inhave a connective tissue disorder called hEDS too and makes my skin extra stretchy..). Ok keto, what a huge difference in their placement and I 100% contribute it to autophagy and how keto taps into our stores differently. I was also able to get to my ideal weight without trying. My body knows where it wants to be. I was nearly 300 lbs the first time and hit 280 lbs the last. Being clean keto with little crap really helped my sleep and joint pain and reduced the amount of gluten caused itching and no longer required skin/face cream-- who knew! I never tested ketones but I trust what my body tells me. Don't forget the salt!
This is the first time seeing Dr Boz! Love her teaching! Will search for more details:)
OMG! This video was AMAZING!!! I think you just gave me a part of my missing weight loss equation. Its so important to understand the physiology behind what my body is doing and why my weight loss has been so difficult. I've just discovered your channel and will be diving into the glucose/ketones/insulin connection. Very informative. I have turned my nose up at canned sardines, but I think I may need to put my bias aside for my own good. Thank you so much Dr. Boz!!!
Thank you, Dr. Boz, I needed to have this review today! Going back to this way of eating. I need to feel good again!
I lost 13 lbs in 8 weeks - however I haven't reduced any inches. I found this talk really inspiring. I have been fasting but I never get my DBR under 70 - which is the best I ever got. Even with 36 hour fasts.
Thank you Dr Boz! I finally understand why I’ve been stuck for 6 months and my skin is not tight. Of course age doesn’t help turned 66 this
Week. But IF and Keto has been the only way I have lost 61lbs. Thank you for your straight line explanation 🎉
How long did that take you?
It took me 6 months to loose 61 lbs and haven’t been able to loose more. Trying Dr Boz suggestions
I don't understand. You lost 61lbs with IF and keto. But you also have loose skin and were 6 months stuck on a plateau ?
why are you surprised. Skin becomes looser with age. Also excess skin from being overweight does not magically disappear. If you want the appearance of more muscles visible, lift weights!!!
you do give more detail than others, I like this.
Thank you for the information! You saying that moving eating window earlier is benefitial has actually confirmed my current experience. My eating window now is usually 4am-12am, since i get up very early and go to bed early as well. Before the shift in my sleep schedule I ate between 12am-8pm, and the impact on the weight loss was minimal, also it was really hard mentally to abstain from sugary processed foods in the evening and therefore it impacted my sleep quality and mood, so it wasn't sustainable at all. Now it's all good - sleep is better, making healthier food choices is far more easy also!
So you're feeding window is 20 hrs?
@@hendo721 no, it was from 4:00 in the morning to 12:00 at noon, so 8 hours. Also I'm currently not fasting due going carnivore.
Just an am/pm mix up. Noon is 12pm.
Excellent explaining autophogy. This was fantastic to learn ❤
I lost 61 lbs in 6 months on IF & Keto I have been stuck there since. This week will be a year on IF. Saggy no matter what I
Did. Going to change my eating window get back burning fat recycling proteins and autophagy. I’am that women she talks about need to somehow build the muscle and repair my Saggy skin.💪🏼
Time to try long fasts...go for theee to five days without a bite...you will lose weight so fast your brain will fry...
The first time I went just keto I lost 6 inches from my waist in about 70 days. I was also doing HIIT workouts 6 days a week. I ended up with loose skin here and there. Thankfully not noticable to others but it's stuck with me. Now I'm finishing up my first 36 hour fast, will be eating keto again and never going back. My partner has fatty liver disease, high cholesterol, water retention, migraines. Awful awful stuff and it's all diet and lifestyle so I'm bringing his butt with me. I'll be getting him to fast with me the next time while eating keto
Quick fixes don’t do anything
You will help save his life ❤
Congratulations!
I just bought your books and I am really loving your vids. You are the first Doc that is able to explain all that is happening to my body and all the failures and things that did happen in the past which no doc at all could explain into this detail than you! I listen to other docs on the carnivor/ketovore diet too but you are the best for me. I am a severe diabetic and I bought a ketone meter too and did most of the things you explained as to eating windows fasting alternate and getting to the most extreme one and not dying from it! Haha. My hba1c is down from up anywhere to 13 to about 7 now in 2,5 months!!!! I ditched Ozempic totally and I am only on 1 gluclazide now from 3 next to the Ozempic. I had Ozempic face already and I stopped because it was detrimental to my eyes. I damaged my eyes by using Ozempic which I didnt want too but I was finally convinced because I could not loose weight anymore and I had too. I am down 22.5 lbs in 2.5 months and down 2 dress sizes. I did have some stalls which went away by me just persevering changing my eating windows, fast here and there just change it frequently so my body didnt know what was coming next and didnt hold on to the weight that much. There are struggles I admit but I have gained so much good things already I am not willing to give in ever again. Thanks for educating me (us) and keep up the good work Doc! Love you for it! I thank GOD for docs like you telling the Truth on eating. Been overweight all my life I am 55 now and also have postmenopausal issues but I still can do this! THANKS!!
Hi, Dr. Boz. Thank you for your amazingly helpful videos. I have learned a great deal by listening to you.
I have been on Keto for about 1 year and have lost 70 lbs (from 236 to 166). I am a 73 year old man, and am 5 feet, 8 1/2 inches tall.
I am at my weight goal and am comfortable to stay at 165. But, I would like to continue with the benefits of autophagy to improve my mental acuity and reduce inflammation.
What should I eat on the Keto diet to maintain my weight but continue to improve my long term health?
THANK YOU! ABSOLUTELY! That spreadsheet rocks. Just downloaded and checking it out. Will put it to use in great detail. This video has been very informative and well presented. I've done keto, water fasting and I even dry-fasted for 5 days (highly recommended, by the way) and you still taught me stuff I did not know or that I should look at from a differing perspective.
I've been ketogenic (
I don’t see anything about exercise here.
Try it. It's free
Does short window closed by 12 help with the sleep
With fasting 72h, you get into deeper ketosis, DBR is lower, greater chance of higher autophagy, many people improve or get rid of the crepy & saggy skin.
@@libbytd9572 does finishing meals by noon help sleep
The BEST LECTURE EVER !!! I finally get it. I started carnivore the last week in February and have been following UA-cam folks who are wonderful but I wasn’t having the results they had. Plus, I couldn’t understand why. And what the heck are macros?! “Don’t watch your calories” but “80% of calories need to come from fat”. How do I figure that out if I’m not watching calories. Soo confusing.
I’m almost 60, slim but 15 years pre diabetic. Trying to reverse pre diabetes, autoimmune issues and brain fog. This finally makes sense.
Thank you Dr. Boz!! 😊🙏
This is so true. I lost 100 pounds by calorie restriction and would only eat healthy meat, vegetables, and few carbs. I got down to a size 4. My body looked amazing. My doctor said I had a body of a 30 year old woman. When I started eating concentrated sugars again I gained 20 pounds and literally now have a soft mushy body and do not have any of the firm amazing body that I had six months ago. Not only did I gain 20 pounds but it literally put me back to a size 12.
do a video and show a few pictures so we can witness the difference
Why did you start eating concentrated sugars again when that is part of what caused your weight gain in the first place? I don't understand people who change their eating habits to lose weight but then think that the weight will never come back and they can return to their old habits. Weight loss is never irreversible!
@@TheSouthIsHot theres many personal reasons/challenges someone may go thru to do that. Personally, as a single person, i was almost 4 yrs keto and because i live alone and needed homecare and on bedrest..they arent allowed to cook, just heat up and serve. I cant afford some products that could have helped more..There was only so much frozen food and preparation I could do being disabled. Luckily because I still eat omad and fast all day, Im still in my regular maintenance clothes just fine. Being fat adapted is huge. I get back into ketosis in 36 hrs which never would have happened for the first 9 months on keto. I am itchy with more joint pain and im literally itching to get back as I heal and become more independent. Not everyone is perfect and its good to support people to get back on and not just look at "their mistakes"
@@dana102083 You're right. No one is perfect. We all struggle with something and not all struggle with the same thing. Thank you for enlightening me.
That's the problem with dieting...as soon as you stop and go "normal" it all comes back plus more. I really don't know the solution. Somehow I more and more believe in psychosomatic...I am 45 y/o and now i believe it is not being ok, having stress, unresolved chronic problems, not being authentic make us fat, because of our bad coping mechanism. Also, sadness make us sit between 4 walls, sedentary...and more fat.
This is an excellent video. I started Mounjaro on 12/9 and have lost about 98 pounds. I have been doing a restricted calorie keto diet and have been exercising.
Between Moujnaro, CJC-1295/IM, BPC-157, and weight lifting, I've managed to get to a GKI of 1.0 several times. The weight I am able to lift has greatly increased and my cardio is much better. I believe I am actually gaining muscle and I have very minimal lose skin (far less than a normal-weight post-partum female). I've logged everything and would be happy to share the data if you think it would help with your patients.
I started mounjaro 10/2023 down 30lbs & am doing keto/carmivore too. I try to hit 120grams of protein daily. Hopefully I’m like you & not how dr boz is explaining.
Thank you . I learned why I tripped over my skin I think .
My diet was not poor . It needed improvements . If I can't use urine glucose strips ,I'm out due to budget
restriction . I felt some hope here and I appreciate you sharing yours !
Thank you. My husband and I are on opposite ends of the spectrum. I'm learning how to lose weight and learning how to help him gain muscle at age 72 after losing 20 lbs of mostly muscle, (sarcopenia, living with a MPN disorder). My weight loss is important to me but his muscle gain is more critical.
I am not a dumb person but my eyes totally glazed over trying to follow this.
I'm with you. I understand that ifyou lose a lot of weight using autophagy. The explanation about the active proteins and recycling and the autophagy and the graphs is completey beyond me too. I think maybe we missed a more basic podcast, because I have no idea what she's talking about.
I’m really bright and walk and talk fast, maybe it’s ADHD too, but I’m same as you……this just sounded like a gerbil squeaking nonsense words! 😂
Your video is extremely informative and I am happy to have stumbled upon your page.
Great hour. Your vids keep me inspired. Good explanations and great advice!
I was a bodybuilder years back, multiple severe accidents on top of everything torn. I am going to do this again. I had a C5 commander on the teams and them some, most brilliant person I will have ever met.
So glad I saw this because I’ve been researching Ozempic and thinking of asking my doc about it at my next appointment. I’ve been D2 for a few years now. Making some improvements but not nearly enough imo. But I had the SAME question about HOW you can lose weight in the presence of insulin. UPDATE: My doc suggested Mounjaro instead of Ozempic and I couldn’t be happier with the results! Three weeks in and my baseline blood sugar is down significantly AND I’ve naturally lost about 5 lbs so far with no feeling of deprivation or struggle. Plus I’m sleeping straight through the night (8hrs!) and not waking up in the middle to pee due to nighttime sugar surges. 😃 I also had a two week free trial of a CGM that I inserted a few days before my first Mounjaro shot so I was able to watch in real time as my stats started improving. Even though my insurance won’t cover the CGM, I’m convinced I want to continue with the shots even if I can’t monitor the improvements. 😃😃
@@littleminx79 sounds awesome for you! I’ve been doing keto and IF on and off for a few years now. When I can stick to it, I lose weight and all is well. My problem is that prior to that I leaned vegetarian most of my life (60 now) primarily because I don’t LIKE meat. I’m a creative cook, so I do try, but it’s still a struggle for me. I eat whole unprocessed foods a large bulk of the time and don’t have a sweet tooth. But years of subbing pasta or even whole grains for meat took a toll on my metabolic health. 😱
My main question here was HOW can Ozempic cause fat loss if it actively ups the production of insulin. This goes against everything I know about metabolism so I smelled a rat but didn’t know where it was hiding. I love getting the deets from the docs who know what they’re talking about. 😃 So No Ozempic for me. More green veg with a bit of meat for me, please. 😋
I just started on Ozempic. Feeling ok. I am type 2.

@Chicky,
Do not take Ozempic unless you are Diabetic! A Warning has just been released that it causes serious side effects & death! 😢
Hope you are doing well and feeling great 👍
Unfortunately this video is too late for me. 😢 I have been watching the last week. Wishing this is the route I had gone. I am studying and joining in with this oh so smart lady. I used a compound of Ozempic and lost 50 lbs. So sad because my arms are so bad. I never dreamed this would happen. N naïve I know! The weather is changing and I’m hiding my arms. I’m looking to get healthy now. It’s crazy the sacrifice I made. If you’re on the fence jump off and get on the keto diet I’m hoping to be able to turn this around. Maybe naïve again but I’m gonna try. At least I’ll know in my mind that I’m doing the right thing. Thank you Doc for all the great information.
I'm wondering if the sagging skin and muscle loss can be turned around by fasting? Keto?
Hi! Thank you so much for the info you have shared. I am a new subscriber and am just wondering, regarding the sardine challenge, if there is a substitute for people with a histamine sensitivity?
I hadn’t thought of that. I’m glad you asked the question before I embark on it I too would like to know an alternative
@@ann-mariecoombes632 Unfortunately, Ann-Marie, I haven't yet received a reply, altho' it's been a month already. But I'm guessing there really isn't a substitute, since she has said she chose sardines for their specific fat-to-protein ratio. So I am currently waiting to buy fresh or frozen sardines, when they again become available in my area.
If I hear of a substitute anywhere else, however, I will save your comment and try to remember to come back here and let you know.
I am allergic to all fish and I was wondering this as well - would love a substitute!
@@houseofthegreaterdanes2807 You know, H, I have seen several requests now for info on substitutes, but no replies yet from Dr. Boz. So I suspect she doesn't really know what to substitute, since she did say she chose sardines in oil for its ratio of protein to fat (and probably it's Omega 3s).
So after reading your question, I've started wondering if one couldn't just substitute eggs, or at least egg yolks (if sensitive to the whites); add in good quality olive oil and maybe a 1/4 tsp cod liver oil (if you can tolerate it); and use that! After all, there IS already a popular carnivore diet challenge where one only eats eggs for 3 days or something. (I forget the details.)
So since a can of sardines has from 18 to 22 grams of protein, it would take only 3-4 whole eggs or 6-7 yolks to equal one can. And that plus maybe 1/2 to 1 Tbsp EVOO might do the trick!
For myself, I recently had a can of sardines without a histamine reaction, so I will give myself a couple more weeks of healing and then give that a try. But if I react, I will then try this egg version myself.
Good luck to us both!🤗
Makes a lot of sense. Thank you, learned something new today...
I had one shot of ozempic to lose weight, and the side effects were terrible. I couldn't wait for it to get out of my system. I was having success with intermittent fasting. The ozempic shot forced me to have to eat sugar just to prevent from hypoglycemia. I am back on just intermittent fasting now and back on track.
Me2! The nausea was off the charts!
For me it was heart palpitations, as long as I didn’t do more than breathe, I was okay but get up and walk to the bathroom and my heart was struggling and I’d get short of breath. Bad for me, real bad.
Great video very helpful. I was looking for the very information.
This video sums so many important concepts.
Agreed, a real gold mine! 👍
Wow, My question is finally answered. I should have stayed with the ketosis while loosing from gastric sleeve and ozempic. I stayed with protien low carb but not ketosis, now I have loose wrinkly skin and muscle loss. I'm thinner but a fatter version of my ideal weight. So I need to loose more weight to loose the fat I shouldn't have at this weight. I think it's back to ketosis.
1) With the sardine challenge, can you substitute canned salmon or tuna? Or does it have to be sardines? I’ve tried them once but am not really a fan.
2) With keto and carnivore, I’ve heard about not counting calories as much. How do you make sure you’re eating enough calories in the day but not too much or too little? And what would too little be considered? I’ve heard about trying to not go under 1200 calories yet am wondering how these numbers came about. How much did people years ago eat (such as in colonial times or pioneers in the 1800s)?
3) Does Metformin make autophagy harder? I do take that for Pre-Diabetes.
I’m trying to get back into keto (more meat based than plant based, although I do like berries/low carb fruit, and eat some veggies here and there. I have low iron without anemia so eat meat for the heme iron). I am looking into a breast reduction surgery if insurance can cover it. I mostly currently eat between 11am and 7pm. I get up around 5am most mornings for work (I usually have to be at work for 6am) so don’t eat before work as I don’t want to get up even earlier and need time to brush my teeth and not have food within 20 minutes of doing that).
I believe you can substitute almost any canned fish as log as it's fatty. I personally like Kippered Herring over sardines. I would compare the fat content on the can/package with the sardines. I believe the lack of carbs and a lot of fat both contribute to ketosis. The lack of carbs, being essential.
Dr. Boz has at least one short video dedicated to the sardine fast. Search for it in her channel.
Breasts are predominantly fat. I would hold off on rhe breastvreduction till after your weigh loss journey. You may end up rather flat chested if you get the surgery before hand.
@@velviemckenzie6473 I had my reduction surgery in July. I’ve actually never liked being big on top so told the surgeon I wanted to go as small as possible. I’m about a B cup now. And if I was to go down to A through exercise/diet/weight loss, that would be fine with me. Not everyone likes large breasts. Plus, there are ways to pad up a bra a bit if desired.
I just found this channel. You are very informative.
I was diagnosed pre diabetic about eight years ago. My nurse practitioner told me to do keto. I lost forty pounds in two months. Then, in Florida, hurricane Ian was coming right at us and I said, 'If I'm going to die, I'm going to have my white mountain bread and irish butter! Lol. Needless to say, it avoided us, but I went off keto and gained all of the weight back and more.
I started keto again two weeks ago and have lost ten pounds. But I think I am mostly losing inches because my clothes fit better.
I am determined to make keto a way of life. I really miss my pasta, but if I go off keto, I know I will miss feeling better.
Have you ever heard of cinnachrome? If so, what do you think about it's effects on individuals with type two diabetes?
I was told that someone with type 2 went on it, and a month later, his blood sugars are below eighty, and he feels better than ever.
I am in Sarasota and am interested in coming to one of your support groups!
Thank you so much for sharing your expertise!
I have low A1C and don’t get into ketosis very easily. My guess is I may produce a lot of insulin even with low carb meals and I just never get rid of it. Lately I’ve been focusing on achieving autophagy and I’ve actually lost weight consistently!! Every time the scale goes down, I’m shocked because I’ve worked so hard, A1C around 5, for so long with no change.
I'm 6' tall and my starting weight was 335lbs. It's been about 3 weeks and I have lost 12 lbs. It's coming off slowly. I noticed My body was acting differently than when I have done this before. Turns out I have become more insulin resistant. So I went keto and I am on the sardine fast at the moment. (day 2) . I'm not really monitoring glucose or ketone levels at the moment. Made some keto chocolates from butter (fat bombs) etc. Oh yea, I am also working out every day. Weight training and HIIT cardio on a bike on in-between days. I'm really starting to get a rhythm going (daily routine) . I REALLY want to do this without surgery. I will not do it. I think that having the surgery is weak mindedness and no self control. I know someone who did the bypass and he looks fantastic! HOWEVER......ALFTER The surgery, he almost died TWICE. It was because the surgery. He is a rich guy, super lazy. We tried to tell him and he would not listen. He wasn't even that big! I want to be a good example to him, my sons and my family. To show them you can do anything if you put your mind to it.
Good luck but i give you no chance...your trying to convince yourself and me but the fact you got big to start with shows a weak mind
Hi Dr. Boz. I absolutely love your content and can listen to you all day. I'm a 54 year old male, 6'2" tall and weighed in at 371.1 lbs. this morning. I struggle with night eating and tend to do better with managing it if I eat later in the evening, around 6-7pm. I would typically eat carnivore with my window being 12pm-6-7pm. If I remain strict carnivore with < 20 grams of carbs per day will I eventually reach autophagy? Should I shorten my eating window to 2pm-6pm? How to you tell if you are insulin resistant? Thanks again for all of the information you are putting out.
I know you are looking for a Dr. Boz response, but I am compelled to answer.
Just start at the place that will give you the most success. Once you're on the journey, losing weight, etc, you'll automatically tweak things, experiment, etc. Initially, give yourself the best opportunity to get results. If that's eating at midnight, eat at midnight. Just get going, and get out of your own way. Things will fall into place from there. What works for others may not work for you.
With ❤️
@@energeticsoulhealer888 Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it and the support. That makes total sense. I just need to beat the damn night eating. That is a mind thing!
You can do it! I’ll lift you in prayer 🙏 Good for you looking out for yourself. 💪💕 from an internet friend!
@@jackfoxxx68 It is a mind thing for sure - I deal with the same issues. What I found is - that if I eat more fat - real butter or even a spoon of nut butter in the evening, it deals with that issue just beautifully. I am not strict keto or carnivore - I go back and forth between both, but I do intermittent fasting every day with a varying eating window of 4-6 hrs most days. When I really load up on eating fats - I am never hungry or even tempted to eat. Food simply doesn't interest me then. Also - brushing my teeth when I start getting cravings, and rinsing with essential oil waters works for me as well [that's when the mind thing is @work, not the stomach]... I've done my first 70 hr fast and it wasn't all that bad - not so much hungry, rather than pre-occupied THINKING about food. I'm getting ready to do a 48 or even 72 hr fast starting tomorrow again - I allow myself to be flexible without forcing myself - I am my own best motivator!
For me, my night eating got better when I began to have more hobbies and meaningful extra skills. When I get off work, I write, I draw , and I study for programming to create video game mods. These are all cognitively intensive and using my hands, so I can’t mindlessly eat nor am I thinking about it because I’m so focused on the task. Night eating is probably just a habit you need to break with another healthier activity that brings you the same kind of joy or dopamine hit
I injected Ozempic for over two years. I had no appetite suppression or weight loss. I don’t know if it really affected my blood sugar. I quit it two months ago for I/F, walking, calorie restriction, and the Keto diet. I’ve lost thirty pounds, dropped my blood sugar dramatically, and my hunger is completely satied. The sardine challenge starts on Monday and I’m really excited to see what happens.
I’d like to eventually hit size 20. That’s what I was as a 21 year old private in the army, running 20 miles in the mountains with a 19% body fat. Size 4, I don’t think you could stuff my skeleton into! Size 28 right now. Keto for 9 months and 60 lb weight loss after diabetic diagnosis. I’ve paused for a while, now low carb rather than keto.weight loss has stopped but glucose is holding without meds. I’ll push again when I’m ready. 5’11” and 62 yo woman btw.
Thank you for your service.
@iamyoutoo1 I was a peacetime soldier, there for the beer and a way out of my parents' house during a recession. It wasn't a patriot thing. Military service does not equal patriotism.
That's for the US women's size
They let someone that fat in the army?. holy cow we in trouble
I have eaten low carb before and got into ketosis very easily, but not anymore.
Now, I take Ozempic, my A1C is down to 4.9, I eat VERY LOW CARB, and I've lost 120 pounds, after stalling at 80 pounds lost.
i'm a 54 year old male. currently on Ozempic (semaglutide) for 8 weeks now with a keto friendly diet, one meal a day in the morning to help keep insulin levels down for most of the day and night. Down 30 lbs in 8 weeks. drink water, no processed foods. gym about every other day. so far so good but for me i still have hunger pains throughout the day even while on Ozempic so it's not a miracle drug some people make it out to be. there is still some sacrifice in the journey but the rewards are worth it. no gaunt face (yet) lol
May consider that your hunger is from a nutrient deficiency. Kinda like your body still needs something you're not feeding it.
@@techsir8866 my daily calories are low enough that I should be hungry
Stop working out...i can tell you lifting weights causes massive appetite...plus your never gonna look like mr.universe anyway...
6 months on Ozempic and the hunger pains aren't as bad as the first 3 months. down 60+ lbs. still one meal a day and gym 5 days a week. it's all good. lifting weights to stay healthy , not going for Mr. Universe look@@richardlawson6787
I convinced my husband to talk to his dr to get off of Metformin and his dr said Metformin is keeping you alive… that FINALLY convinced my husband to do keto mojo measuring, eating coconut and fish and he has reduced his A1c to 5.7 from 7.1… he also started lifting weights almost daily, weekends off.
I am struggling with intermittent fasting. I like eating my dinner before 4pm, for years. I use turmeric and it does work.
Then covid hit. I got lazy. I didn't exercise or walk. I didn't have weight gain. But, my numbers were a mess.
I have added chair yoga and exercising for approximately 1/2 an hour, daily.
I am 69, arthritic hip, and wake up with blood sugars at 195 to 235. I also wake up ravenous. Today I will eat at noon. Next week, I will start eating 4am as my only week.
Can you tell me what the tumeric is for?
@@susanmunson4905 what I have learned is for arthritic pain
You suggest that people on Ozempic may be losing weight without autophagy and may lose weight without dropping in clothing size. I wonder how much of that is related to autophagy and how much is failure to focus on saving and building muscle with protein consumption and resistance training? Did these two friends do dexascans to compare their body fat versus muscle mass?
I do IF (TRE,OMAD and 2MAD) and Fasting. Eat as late as possible and do mostly 15:00-19:00. Then I do a few times a month a sleep-day-sleep fast. And fasting is essentially doing Keto. Don't do Keto 100% tho. But are on and off. And having autophagy, wen I have, I can feel it on my skin, great feeling. Thanks for the vid.
Do you have any videos about that talk about autoimmune disease and fasting?
Or Adrenal exhaustion and fasting?
Hmmm. Water fasting for 30 days engages both a state of ketosis and autophagy, yet many will have loose skin due to rapid weight loss. Autophagy certainly helps clean up loose skin, but the speed of the weight loss matters a great deal.
I have loose skin on both arm before I lose weight it took me 10 years to lose 80 pounds. I did fasting many times a year but loose skin still hanging on
No amount of anything will get rid of loose skin without surgery if youve been fat for a long time.
What the doc says makes sense to me. Glad I found your video.
Hello I am reading the comments and I feel like crying, some of you guys are so encouraging please help me I am 75lbs overweight I can’t seems to stay on a diet no matter how I try.
Don't give up, we are all struggling. Choose something and stick with it and then layer it on top of a new change. Also, sometimes the daily routines are too hum drum to follow so maybe use varied techniques and fasting windows. I don't have it figure out. God bless you!
Fasting focused lifestyle and real food only
when she was talking about people that hop on the scale and dont lose a single pound but still change is such a big thing. people always care about continual visual improvements and visual keys of getting better and when the obvious ones are not there people get discouraged but you just need to either stay the course or make small adjustments to keep going. i am currently 185ish (i go from 180 to 190 cause different eating times cause of holidays) and iu have stayed at the 185lb for a while and would like to go to 175 but that requires more aggressive diet and exercise im not ready to take on quite yet but yet staying the course and continuing to limit food intake along with a good gym scheduel i went from pants that were a 38 to being able to get away with a 34 while still being the same weight. the body takes a long time to slowly change and the more you can keep in the range needed the more often it can happen but if you dont have the discipline to stay the course then your results will be slower.
I lost 60 pounds easy peezy keto . Got about 40-50 more to go , but now I’m in menopause , constantly feeling starved , definitely too much fat consumption especially in the morning coffee from 7-10am . Lots of loose skin . I need to take her wisdom and teaching serious and dump everything I thought I knew and that previously worked for me . Do know that my morning glucoses are between 110-120 , they were 150’s before I started keto 2 years ago . At this point I’m on dirty keto to just maintain but no longer have that abounding energy nor feel full for hours like I used too
see Dr Ken Berry's vids on Proper Human Diet. you are probably getting too many carbs. if you are always hungary, definitely too many carbs and not enough fat. switching to carnivore can help get you back on track... Beef, butter, bacon and eggs are my friends!!!
The PHD cured my NAFLD,pre-diabeties, CKD, high BP and increased my testosterone.
early morning glucose elevation can be the Dawn Effect. See Ben Bickman vids on insulin resistance. you could also be a cholesterol hyper-responder. see Dave Feldman's vids on LMHR.
High fat helps with hormonal health, especially in women. It helps skin looks better, including getting rid of stretch marks and cellulite. Not sure how much fat you’re having, but most people aren’t having enough or are having the wrong kinds (vegetable/seed oils, trans fat). When you fast, clean fast with just water, tea or black coffee, then have your fats when you eat.
Get on konjac root fiber...it fills your stomach and kills hunger pangs
I lost weight on the keto/ EatLikeABear diet. I went from a size 18 to a size 12. I hadn’t been a size 12 since before the doc gave me medicines that caused me to gain 70 pounds in 10 months in 1992. I just had to share so told a woman at the Fred Meyers store, and she was nice enough to be excited for me.
I'm excited for you as well. I want to get to 10/12 myself. Right now I'm a 14 but I was an 18 too.😊😊🎉🎉🎉
You can do it!
Registered dietitian here. It takes about 6 months for body image to change.
@ItoldU what misinformation?
I lost over 150 pounds, using my ENDOCANNABINOID SYSTEM and THCV, not only have I kept it off for over 6 yrs., there were ZERO hunger pains involved, I used to weigh over 450 pounds and 6 years later I weigh in at 260 pounds...
Thank you for all of this great information💜
😊I understand your saying that if you lose a lot of weight using autophagy, you won't have sagging skin, but I can't understand the explanation, the active protein recycling and the graphs is completely beyond me too. I convinced I missed one or more basic podcasts (continuum 1-4, and aotophagy 1, 2, and perhaps 3). because I'm completely lost.
