I refuse to be an obese old woman plagued by a litany of illnesses. Keto was a miracle for me and two years later I'm slim, healthy, active at 69. Diet Doctor videos are priceless!
Me too….. I finally took control of my health because I couldn’t get any doctor to prioritize me over their System. I went carnivore 2 1/2 years ago and completely kicked my D2 and other health issues. Today, at 80 I am healthy, slim again, and a pretty happy woman. If it wasn’t for all these UA-cam videos from doctor after doctor after doctor to support my efforts I doubt that I would be in such good health today. THANK YOU BRAVE and INTELLIGENT DOCTORS 🤜🤛
Yep I’m a ex obese 75 year old and low carb saved me from diabetes and all the other metabolic problems. I have a electric Unicycle I use for local transportation, I just love ❤️ being well. Not having diabetes anymore sure helps me sleep well. Bye for now my bacon 🥓 is getting cold. 🫐🥦🥑🥩😎
This blew my mind thank you so much. I am 74 years old, I have been told to restrict calories don’t eat fat and only eat a small amount of lean meat. I was so good I believed them. On this diet since eleven years old. I dieted my way to 300 lbs, got a gastric band and been sick all my life. I tried the carnivore diet eight weeks ago. This is crazy I have never felt this good in my whole life. Blood sugar, blood pressure, weight down. All things I thought impossible. I have stopped most of my meds and I am in the normal range on everything.
Crazy... isn't it, but can't argue with results. My friends and family think I'm nuts for eating only animal products. They can stay unhealthy while I get physically and mentally optimal. Their choice.
@@dieselbourbon3728 carnivore here too. My friends and family think the same. While they struggle, I feel energetic and great. I post videos like this but most of them think they know better than experts I guess. 🥴
I grew up in the Adventist Church and my family always got a lot of pressure from the church members for choosing to still eat meat. However, unfortunately many of these same church members are now dealing with quite a few health issues. This dialogue hits the nail on the head.
As a Bible reading person I'm sensitive to the twisting of scripture. Teaching as doctrine the precepts of men. God rejected a plant sacrifice. Esau sold his birthright for beans to signify his contempt for God's blessing. He was about what he could do with his hands. The meat eaters accepted the blessing of God. Daniel didn't accept the blessing of the captive king who exalted himself over God. Folks in the Bible eating grain were in survival situation. Famine drought wilderness too many people to feed with meat etc.
@@judylloyd7901 not much reasoning. Just observation of events in scripture. Kind of like in movies you use trombones to indicate a villain. I appreciate that whenever Peter turned jerk they used Fred Wesley funky trombone.
@@mandelharvey3429 But you have to remember, these events are symbolic and have lessons, and sometimes they're not all that easy to figure out. They're not history, they're poetry, and the tens of thousands of Christian denominations show us that it's pretty easy to come to different conclusions about just about all of them. Like Lewis Black says, ask a Jew what their Bible means. That should help you. Although, of course, not even they can agree on all of it. :)
I was in hospital after a serious fall. The food was horrific. My husband brought sausage and cheese to get me through. The staff couldn't believe I wasn't on any medications at 64 yo. At that time we had been on LCHF for 2 years and feeling great. I recovered vey quickly. Thanks to courageous people like these docs!
Hospital food seems designed in line with keeping their patients coming back. Better off eating McD 1/4 pounder patties with cheese & pickles with water.
I was plagued with weekly migraines and was nearly 230 lbs at 5’5”. I needed a change in my life and Jan 2022 started doing some research and came across Keto and IF. My life has completely changed. Migraines are gone, I’ve dropped 50 lbs (still losing), and I’m clear headed, and energized again.
Very strict Keto has set me free in so many ways! Not only has Keto taken 55 lbs off of my body, but it has also gotten me off all diabetes medications, normalized my A1c, cleared my head and set me free from ALL food cravings! And I'm almost 60.
Same here on carnivore 9 months now. I think the key is cutting out sugars, grains and all processed 'foods". I'm 64 getting ready to retire feeling better than I have in 20 years. It's remarkable!
Absolutely! I wish more people could hear this. I share it on my SM but it's ignored. Ppl are happy living in the matrix, while corporations continue to poison and profit. It's sad!
Look at how they're scaring people with covid and governments mandating a vax for a 100% curable illness and preventable deaths. 78% were obese and 96% were vitamin d, both symptoms of the low fat diet that is fueling the 5 trillion dollar food and healthcare industries.
@@jimcricket1 100% curable…no. Certainly being a normal weight with a good vitamin D level helps, people die of flu and cold all the time, no reason they wouldn’t also die of covid. You need to be realistic. When you’re angry and spewing untruths your message-fix obesity and vitamin D -just gets lost.
@@greenghost6416 perhaps the conversation we are incapable of having due to its implicit insensitivity revolves around the price healthy people are paying to offer the sickly a better chance at survival in a time obsessed with immortality. That discussion rapidly returns to questions such as what are legislators doing to ensure all humans are equipped with the knowledge to maintain their own individual health while being afforded the resources required to do so and understanding the threats, mostly distorted by profit. Foxes and hen houses.
Sad part is how many people don't find this kind of information even when they become ill unless they take charge of their own health and research on their own.
I starved myself fat on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day for decades. I thought something was wrong with me. 8t wasn't until my husband had 3 stokes and we found out he was diabetic that I question the advice. On the diet from the hospital both he and his blood work were worse every 3 weeks. Went on for 8 months. I read Good Calories, Bad Calories and watched The Oiling of America. Changed both of our diets to the old British diet in the prologue. His next bloodwork improved and several months later a stranger understood him. That was 13 years ago. I went from size 18 to 6/8. All without starving.
I agree with Dr. Gary Fettke. I myself being diabetic for 35 years and having a A1c of 5.5 last time I was tested after eliminating most of the carbohydrates in my diet. It took a number of years to get to this point, but I continued to make progress. You can too!
Another excellent interview. I've heard Gary and his wife Belinda speak many times and I'm still shocked at how uncaring the health care system reallyl is. I am glad to have found keto/low carb. No more worring about developing diabetes (i was prediabetic). I am hopeful that my brain is getting all the healthy nutrient dense fatty foods it needs to avoid early dementia which runs in my family. Diet Doctor keep doing what you are doing. Things must change. Real food = a healthy metabolism
Very eye-opening! I'm familiar with the Seventh-Day Adventist church, and what he says is spot on. I just never realized how deep it ran and how much influence they actually have. I was on a vegan diet for 13 months and got sicker and fatter. Recently, I switched to LCHF, and the weight just started melting off, and all my pain and symptoms disappeared quickly.
@@lenblack1462 I don't know about April B, but I was not eating processed carbs, but whole grains etc. I still had horrible outcome due to too many carbs eating the normal 60+% carbs. Once I went LCHF/ Keto, I was able to stop my metformin, and other meds. Too many carbs from any source is still harmful. Your results may vary, but I am low carb for life!
I know many SDAs also. Many are chronically ill, infertile, and require joint replacement surgeries. This is a congregation of less than 100 and most are lifetime vegans and vegetarians.
I’ve been to Loma Linda. The SDAs over there are very healthy. Like doing sports in their 70’s, 80’s. It’s a blue-zone. We can’t just dismiss what they are doing
I so appreciate this information. It confirms what I’ve suspected for a long time. I started Keto in January 2020 and at 75 am feeling better than I have in many years and am losing weight plus all numbers are getting better. I do appreciate you and Dr Eric Westman. This is the way I’m going to eat the rest of my life!
Almost 73 here and ditto for me! One year on Keto and doing so well it is almost unbelievable. Love Dr. Westman and also Dennis Pollack's vids helped me immensely in the beginning.
80 here and totally diabetic free ( after only one month) and much slimmer and healthier and drug free since going carnivore almost three years ago! I’m a much happier person 😁
I found high protein about 10 years ago, Ideal Protein and lost 80 pounds, maintained most of it, which was surprising, Mar 2020 I found keto and while I haven't reduced I feel better, carnivore is my goal but I fall off regularly being surrounded by others junk😆 working on myself hoping to affect them too.
I learned through my low carb journey that I am a carnivore and never been healthier and a better weight in my life at 74. I took myself off all meds much to my doctors disgust. I know now being in a job Iu hated was the cause of my stress and deteriorating health, statins, 2 BP meds. I retired and used Covid time to research and get healthy. This doctor is humble, a quality many in the field lack, I know several diabetics who buy all the BS that Pharma and these food industry based studies feed them. Cancer patients too are given sugar in clinics and hospitals.....cancer feeds on sugar yet the clinics are telling people not to do fast and eat what they want I have vegetarian friends who won't supplement and are nothing but carb and sugar addicts and are in denial that their sugar intake is hard. Then they wonder why they have inflammatory diseases and infections. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. You are a brave man doctor and are 100% guided by a higher force.
Wow! I feel so enlightened. Thank you for this solid gold interview. I have been LCHF for the last 18 months in an effort to heal my painful gut issues. I will never go back to eating sugar and processed foods but find my friends and family often quote back at me ‘ what about cholesterol??’ Ultra processed foods have become the ‘norm’ in our supermarkets and modern people eat for TASTE RATHER THAN NUTRITION. I have found that real food tastes so much better once the sugars and processed foods are eliminated from the diet
Great work! Congratulations. I am finding the same result. Now, I find walnuts to be sweet, whereas a bite of donut to be nauseating. (not that I have eaten a donut in the past year...)
cholesterol was very misunderstood over the past few decades. Your brain is made up mostly of cholesterol, and your body needs to eat fat in order to regulate certain functions like hormones. eating cholesterol, like eggs, is very important for brain health. I watched my father have several heart surgeries and now I had one 4 years ago (but not for clogged arteries, I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy obstructive - and required relief from symptoms of that issue. However, I've been monitoring diet and cholesterol for a long time. It's likely a lot of dementia/alzheimer's cases may have been exacerbated by lack of proper nutrition regarding cholesterol.)
Dr.Atkins was sending the same basic message some 50 years ago and received the same kind of persecution. He, too, was stubborn and saved the lives of many.
Didn’t he die overweight and of heart failure? I’m not being provocative. Personally, I’m looking for a diet that will help me lose weight w/o eating a lot of meat - mostly veg, some meat, low carb. I can’t seem to find anyone in the middle of the veg/meat road.
@@sandraelder1101no. He had a fall and cracked his head on the ice while skating. You can ask his colleague Dr. Eric Westman, who still treats many patients with keto diets the way Atkins did. Westman usually ends up with people who are desperate to loose weight and are on the last resort for surgery and are still too ill to get it. He is an amazing doctor and personalises keto diets on an individual level in his practice
I apoligize, but it had to be done. Years ago I prayed that these doctors would get sick to understand what we're all going thru. So far I have found Dr. Berg, Dr. Hyman, plus others and now this fine man. Thank you all for figuring this all out. I am 67 years old and feel better than I did in my 30's.
Just had a neck surgery, last september, Type 1 Diabetic, lchf 10:yrs and keto, One day after surgery they sent me home, 4 hours in a bus, i 've not taken any drugs or painkillers since the day of surgery. I'm just in no pain what so ever. They put a small stellcage between vertebrae C6-C7, and they released the rootnerve at C7. I recover faster than i don't know what....and the only thing i can think of is the food i eat. No pain, no painkillers and steady diabetes no highs, no lows
As a nurse working in a rehab unit, I was told it was okay for a young patient to have 2-3 cans of Coke with each meal, otherwise she refused to eat. When I asked how broken bones could heal, I was ignored or told, just give the pop anyway.
All that phosphoric acid billowing out that patient's bones, which needed to heal, + causing so many other problems for the patient; very sad. Also, drinking all that coke likely contributed to that patient's broken bones in the first place.
I have a very high respect for you Dr. Gary and your wife Belinda. You are the true heroes in this modern day and age. Thank you for all that you do for your fellowmen. Congratulations for the great job you are and have been doing. God bless.
I tried low fat (less than 10%) and was ALWAYS hungry! Fast forward a number of years, overweight, in the pipeline for two knee replacements. Adopting a 20 gram or less carb LCHF diet, and weight is reduced, and knee pain is drastically reduced. Rethinking my spot in the cue for replacement.
Thank you for exposing all those pious 7day Adventist’s and greedy self serving businesses at our expense! As you say, question everything. Even Buddha said,” Don’t believe me,question everything” Great to hear you with your courageous honesty!
About a year ago I went on LCHF ... I had a lot of pain in my hips 64-65 years old .... It took about 6 months now I have absolutely not pain at all.👏👏👏
Standard British diet as I was taught by my grandparents who lived through a war and raised children on ration packs was meat and two veg , how did we get so far away from that
Question: "how did we get so far away from that" Answer: Advertising. People are bombarded by advertising sponsored by the big processed-food industry. And the media, of course, supports their sponsors.
The invention of the dietician during the 70's was to teach housewives how to put the excess grains onto the dinner table. Pre 80's, we always slimmed down by skipping the bread & potatoes.
I am 70, been keto a year and just gone carnivore. Down 25kgs, no health problems or drugs. Daughter just turned 50 and had half knee replacement 3 years ago and fused discs in lower back last year. Not recovered yet. Not keto, been brainwashed.
I felt relief with joint pain in fingers within a week!! Amazing! Why did I have to seek this out for myself? No doctor EVER suggested this for me! I had an “AhhHaa” moment in October realizing that I was only 14 years away from being the age my daddy was when he was diagnosed with Dementia! My mother is in constant pain from osteoarthritis! I don’t want either of these things in my future!! I immediately made an appointment with a Functional Health Doctor and started on an Autoimmune Protocol Elimination. I have learned SO MUCH since then by doing my own research!! So thankful for doctors like both of you who help us to understand and get healthy!!😘
More and more people are taking notice of the deleterious effects which refined carbs and added sugar bring forth. It takes time, but any progress is good progress. Nowadays healthy fat is encouraged even on high carb diets. Compare that to the 90s when all fat was considered bad. My MIL, who was a teen in the early 80s, told me how even Avocados were vilified back then. Crazy!
Thank you Dr. Fettke for your work. Being righteous as a physician is validating the hippocratic oath. Full admiration to these pioneers that are so much needed in these corrupt times.
The most disappointing thing in my life to date is learning how so many people can be so easily influenced by media and how they blindly trust government. My motto is question everything and believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.
That's because it can be taken both ways. Rather sarcastically. So, you still get no re;ly. Perhaps you shouldn't have put those smiling faces on the end of your sentence.
I fell for the dietary recommendations. Scared to eat eggs/saturated fats. Nearly diedb3 years ago and ended up with quad coronary bypass.. it's ruined my life. What do my medical records show.. Insulin resistance (high triglycerides/ low HDL and perfect LDL. Now my cardiologist wants me to keep my LDL low and ignores my triglycerides and HDL numbers... I just can't get my head around the medical experts inability to look at information and work things out...
I ended up in the hospital on October 2022 for an emergency appendectomy. After 53 years of age, I had managed to dodge hospitals all this time, so this was my first experience. Following surgery, I was given a painkiller which caused massive hallucinations. The next morning, I asked the nurse what the heck they had given me the night before... Turns out it was oxycodone. Had I known, I would've refused categorically. Panadol would've sufficed. I told her about the hallucinations and she simply replied, "oh dear! Sounds like you had a bad trip with the 'codone." 🙄 And then, came the hospital food. Sweetened orange juice, frosted rice bubble cereals with low fat milk, two slices of white bread, margarine (yes, MARGARINE!) and strawberry jam. 🤮Needless to say, when the doc came around to ask me if I felt fit to go home (they needed the hospital beds, ) I promptly replied "YOU BET!" I still can't believe how messed up the Australian medical system is. As a side note, I would also like to add... to any Australian who's been thinking about getting a sleep apnea test... DON'T! If you so happen to have sleep apnea (even a mild case like mine) they will scare you with the risk of losing your drivers license if you don't get treatment, like a CPAP machine. The test is covered by Medicare, but the treatments aren't, so you're up for thousands of dollars, trying to cover your @$$ to not lose your license. Way to go, health system! Since I got caught by this "scam," I discovered LCHF diets and decided to go on the ketovore diet. I lost 5kgs in one month, I sleep better (and so does my husband as he told me I don't snore or gasp anymore,) my arthritis has disappeared and I feel amazing. Thank you Dr. Fettke for fighting the good fight for all us patients. I just wish our family doc was as switched on as he is.
If I was unfortunate enough to end up in hospital, I would either fast, have family to bring real food or order Uber eats - McDonalds beef patties are good!
@@eatmeatandliftweights5754 Rest assured that I'm doing my utmost best to stay away from the "sick house" (hence going on a ketovore diet.) Thanks for the great suggestions. Will definitely keep those in mind in the unfortunate event of getting stuck in a "house-pill-tel." LOL!
Watching this pod cast opened my eyes. Thank you Garry and Belinda for your courage and conviction, without people like you we wouldn’t have choices. 🙏🏻💕👍xoxo
I had back surgery due to arthritis in my spine occluding my cord and causing terrible sciatic pain. I went to the Carnivore woe (way of eating) 7 months ago. My sciatic pain is gone, shoulder and arm pain gone and my eczema is almost completely gone. I also dropped twenty two pounds in four months without even trying.
He's halfway there. His analogy of the car tyre versus your joints misses the fact that our joints WILL regenerate given the right circumstances. HFLC diet stops the inflammation, but you also need to get the joint to regenerate from the damage. Get the synovial fluid to lubricate the joint properly and make sure that the nerve to the joint isn't compromised. Dr John Bergman has some great videos on this. It works, I no longer need a hip replacement.
God bless you Dr. Gary and your lovely wife Belinda. Thank you so much for educating us with regards to proper nutrition. Stay safe and healthy at all times. God is good all the time.
In public hospitals in Victoria Australia, every diabetic patient was given the same diet choices as the other patients. We had 'low fat & low salt' choices for cardiac patients, but diabetics would get toast and jam, cereal, a small container of fruit in syrup for breakfast, they weren't allowed dessert (except sugary yoghurt) for lunch or afternoon tea, but dinner was carbohydrate rich and they were given a small container of icecream. It never made any sense to me as a cardiac nurse. I remember being told that because a slice of raisin bread was made low-GI because of the dried fruit, that it was a good snack for diabetics. I didn't understand how that was biologically possible. They pushed the low-GI, low-fat message without considering the total carb loading and I was led to believe that this was "healthy". The food pyramid had bread on it as something that we should consume more of. We were fed lies and propaganda, under the guise of "health" but it was industry, Big Pharma, Big Sugar, Big Food (the SDAs) behind it.
Some time ago I spent around a week in hospital with a ruptured appendix. For almost entirely the whole time I did not get fed. I was bored but not hungry at all. When I was finally offered food, it was unpalatably sweet pudding and apple juice. I found that I became hungry all the time. BTW, I still have my appendix as it healed during that time and that was 2019.
This was an excellent conversation! I am bingeing on Diet Doctor podcasts. They are real "reality checkers". Watching shows like "Grey's Anatomy" had me thinking Drs. Were making groundbreaking, life changing revelations all the time. Only to find out that if your discoveries and research goes against conventional wisdom and corporate profits, your reputation and career are in danger. That's scary!
Actually this has been true all through history, the pioneers and the ones who made ground breaking discoveries that opened new doors in medicine and science have always had to suffer for going against the status quo...such is human nature
I recently spent 2 days in hospital here in Nz and I am glad I didn't have to stay longer, I would have starved to death. Breakfast cornflakes, fruit juice, white toast and low fat milk I did have real butter but with a side of jam. Lunch fake leek and potato soup and "macaroni cheese" my blood would have shown I have high cholesterol ( 40 years at least) but this is me, I have the treadmill regularly to test my heart and arteries ( comment from heart specialist) at 65, the "heart of a 40 year old" I refused statins because when first advised no-one could say what benefits they offer. My trigliscerides at excellent and for last month I have been on LCHF diet cause my weight was slowly creeping up ( 50 kg on wedding day in 1967 and at Christmas 2019 creeping over 86 kg!!!) in 1 month I have dropped to 79 kg and dropping !!! thank goodness for LCHF
What they put Dr. Fettke through is atrocious, but in the end, it has helped the LCHF movement with all the publicity and persecution. Thank you, Dr. Fettke, for your stalwart advocation of a lifestyle and way of eating that actually helps people!
After quitting sugar and refined processed foods, I never think about my weight. It stays perfect. An orthopedic surgeon told me vegan diets were bad 20 years ago.
Surprised Nina Teicholtz's name was never mentioned, or her book, Big Fat Surprise. She established a non-profit for the purpose of changing the guidelines. She speaks at length about the history of the Adventists and Kellogg.
It now makes more sense that doctors are more and more trained to just diagnose and prescribe. It is critical in keeping up the cycle of making people sick and on meds
"The Great American Healthcare Scam" by David Belk, MD is a good way to understand how the insurance/pharma/hospital system works. It will give you an insight into why the sick care system is arcane, convoluted, and expensive - by design. New book available on Amazon.
This makes my heart so full I am hella excited to feel better and stop giving the industry my money and eat well like I did growing up. My mom and sis past from other health complications but I imagine dusty bs foods got them. My entire family was bigger. I am 145lbs today 32 I promise Ill stay on meat and be 180 by my 33rd bday on September 15th! Thankyou and Dr Kennedy for showing me this mans channel!
I so admire everyone who has gone on the keto or meat diet, stuck to it and got healthy and lost weight. I keep resolving to do that but my will is so weak and my desire for the sugar is so strong that I just fail every time.
You only fail when you stop trying! It may take time but you will eventually lose the cravings. And you won't even know it until one day you'll say, wow, I don't feel like eating sugar anymore!
Thank you for the encouragement. It is helpful. I’m continuing to try although the messages in my head keep telling me I can’t do it. I’m down about a pound and that helps my confidence some. Perhaps I can surprise my family at Thanksgiving. 🙏
@@ruthmaryrose treats in the office required will power, especially chocolate. Most recently, some donuts were on offer, zero will power was required, I simply didn't want them at all (1 year into my health kick). Chocolate still draws me in me - I do or do not have it on occassion, but it is important to moderate/have an end trigger (even if just the whole one block) and NOT have guilt. Guilt a powerful enemy.
It's not suited to everyone. A lot of people struggle with health issues due to the inability to digest fats or malabsorption issues. I had to drop it after a year due to hormonal imbalance and symptoms of malnutrition. Gum disease, loss of vision, deformed nails etc.
On my very low carb (well under 20 grams) diet, I am off all the nsaids. I do have the orthovisc shots every 6 months. My left knee is a 4 on a scale of one to four for replacement, the right knee is a 3. I have NO PAIN. In the hospital, they are required to have 45 grams of carb per meal. It is the same at rehab. Unless I can make sure my friends and family bring food to me I am up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
Perhaps you could consider intermittent fasting.....I have one hip and a knee replacement. My other hip hurts like a son of ...so I’m trying fasting. Good luck whatever your decision 🙏
@@jimconnell8994 I eat between 12 and 6 pm. I am steadily losing weight. I do get the orthovisc shots every 6 months. My hands were really bad, reducing inflammation has helped a lot. I am also 68.
I used to get really bad pain in my hands after lumber work (chainsaw, ax etc). Now my hands are much better. I think an extended fast (~3 days) may stimulate more stem cells. Chondrocytes differentiate from osteochondroprogenitor cells produced in the bone marrow. Your joints only get nutrients when you move. Fasting can stimulate more release of stem cells, mild exercise can help get these cells into your synovial fluid. I'm 54 years old, deadlift ~250 lbs, bench ~165lbs and have virtually no arthritis anymore. They used to say that cartilage won't regenerate. But maybe no one made observations in the proper conditions. I've had good results with 36 - 38 hour fasts. I think if you're on a low carb diet you hit the beneficial effects of fasting sooner. I've lost about 60 lbs on LCHF and intermittent fasting. I have no idea what has been the most beneficial between diet or fasting, but I'm not going back to a standard diet or 3 meals a day. BTW, my strength went UP while I was LOSING weight. I'm still getting stronger with only about 2 hours of weight training per week.
I am new here, so would someone please tell me what LCHF means? My husband and I just started the Carnivore diet today, and I'm looking forward to all the benefits, but scared to death that I won't be strong enough to stay on it. We are both strongly addicted to our carbs, and are afraid of failing. Neither one of us needs to lose weight, but heard so many good things about just improving our health and getting rid of inflammation. What's the secret for resisting the temptations?
LCHF - Low Carb, High Fat. While some people can jump right into a low carb or carnivore way of eating, other people find it easier to "step down" gradually. You may find this helpful. www.dietdoctor.com/low-carb/eating-better-six-steps-down-the-carb-mountain
I haven't researched carnivore and what exacly it allows to eat or if it has health benefits over keto. If you do find carnivore hard to stay on, I think keto might be easier with many of the same benefits. I enjoy cooking and eating low-carb/keto. For example I would never give up desserts but there are so many keto recipes. I had a delicious keto carrot cake (microvawe one from ketoserts channel) for breakfast today. Bread and pasta are tricky, I haven't found options so amazing that you couldn't tell they are keto yet (perhaps with bread I would, if I was willing to deal with leftover egg yolks). I don't know how many such carnivore recipes there are.
I find that listening to talks by Dr. Joan Ifland helps me to resist temptation like nothing else. She goes (deep) into exactly how planned and intentional it was, on the part of the junk food industry, to get us all mindlessly addicted since infancy. They didn't care at all about the millions or billions of lives they'd be ruining or the untold suffering their products would cause. Hearing about it makes me more determined than ever to not be the good little consumer/addict they tried to mold everyone into.
Such an interesting talk, thankyou. The seventh day adventist church completely ignores God's recommendations for eating meats. Throughout the Old Testament God gives instruction to the priests and people about eating meat, eg Leviticus 17:13 And even though the Israelites were eating grains too, the grains would have been original, not modified, not covered in pesticides, or poisons. Keto/carnivore diet benefits have been hidden from us for too long. Thankyou for being such a strong voice in this campaign/war against the lies of the food industry.
It's like carbohydrate poisoning & health: if you tell a lie long enough it becomes truth. QUESTION EVERYTHING! Don't BELIEVE me or anyone else, SEE for YOURSELF! Great interview! Thanks!
Can the doctors, who are willing to question everything and who are seeing the falsities, come together and create a community where we can point to when someone we know is genuinely interested in seeing beyond what we are told at our check ups?
Such a community has just been created in Poland, independent from the official “health body”. The impulse behind was all the lies around the latest “deadly vrus “
Found a great saying on the internet but don’t know to whom the credit belongs… “Truth doesn’t mind being questioned. A lie doesn’t like being challenged “ I’m trained as a critical thinker and there’s ALWAYS an objection to questions I ask when all I need is more information!
im LCHF and it hasnt taken my knee pain away.....so please be careful ..i am a strict page 4 less than 20 grams of carbs a day keto follower...i do it to control blood sugar and i have lost weight...my knees , especially my right one is still in horrible pain
Have a look at removing all foods that have high oxalates - ie: switch to animal based diet and it might help. Sally Norton does some great videos on this if you are curious.
Diet doesn't necessarily fix everything, there are other causes that are physical. Compensating muscles can do a lot of damage all over the body, which is also something doctors and physical therapists aren't educated in. I have a severe back injury from being run over by a car as a child. Over time it snowballed into other issues, from knees and ankles to shoulder and neck damage. Finally I found a particular set of exercises designed to undo compensating muscles. Check out a book called "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue. It saved my life and got me out of bed and functioning again.
I am one of them who refused 4 replacements 20 years ago. Getting better all the time. It was just business. I healed due to suplements and change of lifestyle.
Thank you for this- in every sentence I feel validated, vindicated, understood, and respected. We will not be silenced. Our patients need us to question and be vocal.
This video sent me off on a tangent to read about the Seventh Day Adventist influence on diet from the late 19th century on, and I am flabbergasted. It's a paradigm shift - like waking up and realizing there is no Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus.
If you want to go straight to the part where Gary and his wife did investigative work on who is behind the food pyramid and basically who coaxes us into being vegans, start at 15:30.
Wonderful conversation. So much good information. One concern though . . . can you push the couch a little to the left so it aligns with the picture? 🙂
I ran into a man I hadn't seen in probably 15 years. He's Seventh Day Adventist and follows their dietary restrictions. I must say, he looked pretty terrible. I know we all age over time, and we don't look like we did when we were younger, but along with looking old and tired, he was obese and was using a walker. I wanted to suggest he have some grass-fed lamb chops or a steak. :) Oh well, to each his own.😋
Here in the UK the government pays farmers to do nothing. They could raise free range cattle, increasing the supply of grass-fed beef, which, presumably, would lower the price so that more people could afford it.
I refuse to be an obese old woman plagued by a litany of illnesses. Keto was a miracle for me and two years later I'm slim, healthy, active at 69. Diet Doctor videos are priceless!
That is awesome.
Me too….. I finally took control of my health because I couldn’t get any doctor to prioritize me over their System. I went carnivore 2 1/2 years ago and completely kicked my D2 and other health issues. Today, at 80 I am healthy, slim again, and a pretty happy woman. If it wasn’t for all these UA-cam videos from doctor after doctor after doctor to support my efforts I doubt that I would be in such good health today.
THANK YOU BRAVE and INTELLIGENT DOCTORS 🤜🤛
@@pennylacombe4763 I'm the oldest new carnivore I know @73 so happy to see your comment.
Yep I’m a ex obese 75 year old and low carb saved me from diabetes and all the other metabolic problems. I have a electric Unicycle I use for local transportation, I just love ❤️ being well. Not having diabetes anymore sure helps me sleep well. Bye for now my bacon 🥓 is getting cold. 🫐🥦🥑🥩😎
@@pennylacombe4763 Thank you. You have summed up perfectly my experience at the age of 67 and only 6 months into keto
This blew my mind thank you so much. I am 74 years old, I have been told to restrict calories don’t eat fat and only eat a small amount of lean meat. I was so good I believed them. On this diet since eleven years old. I dieted my way to 300 lbs, got a gastric band and been sick all my life. I tried the carnivore diet eight weeks ago. This is crazy I have never felt this good in my whole life. Blood sugar, blood pressure, weight down. All things I thought impossible. I have stopped most of my meds and I am in the normal range on everything.
Fantastic news! Well done you :)
Now Kinda...you're teaching others. Just keep doing so.
Crazy... isn't it, but can't argue with results.
My friends and family think I'm nuts for eating only animal products. They can stay unhealthy while I get physically and mentally optimal.
Their choice.
@@dieselbourbon3728 carnivore here too. My friends and family think the same. While they struggle, I feel energetic and great. I post videos like this but most of them think they know better than experts I guess. 🥴
Carnivore saved my health. 40 years of following the recommendations made me unhealthy. Now at 70 feeling great
I grew up in the Adventist Church and my family always got a lot of pressure from the church members for choosing to still eat meat. However, unfortunately many of these same church members are now dealing with quite a few health issues. This dialogue hits the nail on the head.
As a Bible reading person I'm sensitive to the twisting of scripture. Teaching as doctrine the precepts of men. God rejected a plant sacrifice. Esau sold his birthright for beans to signify his contempt for God's blessing. He was about what he could do with his hands. The meat eaters accepted the blessing of God. Daniel didn't accept the blessing of the captive king who exalted himself over God.
Folks in the Bible eating grain were in survival situation. Famine drought wilderness too many people to feed with meat etc.
That's because they eat lots of grains and legumes.
@@mandelharvey3429 I think your argument is full of holes. Your conclusions may be okay, but not your reasoning.
@@judylloyd7901 not much reasoning. Just observation of events in scripture. Kind of like in movies you use trombones to indicate a villain. I appreciate that whenever Peter turned jerk they used Fred Wesley funky trombone.
@@mandelharvey3429 But you have to remember, these events are symbolic and have lessons, and sometimes they're not all that easy to figure out. They're not history, they're poetry, and the tens of thousands of Christian denominations show us that it's pretty easy to come to different conclusions about just about all of them. Like Lewis Black says, ask a Jew what their Bible means. That should help you. Although, of course, not even they can agree on all of it. :)
I was in hospital after a serious fall. The food was horrific. My husband brought sausage and cheese to get me through. The staff couldn't believe I wasn't on any medications at 64 yo. At that time we had been on LCHF for 2 years and feeling great. I recovered vey quickly. Thanks to courageous people like these docs!
Hospital food seems designed in line with keeping their patients coming back. Better off eating McD 1/4 pounder patties with cheese & pickles with water.
I was plagued with weekly migraines and was nearly 230 lbs at 5’5”. I needed a change in my life and Jan 2022 started doing some research and came across Keto and IF. My life has completely changed. Migraines are gone, I’ve dropped 50 lbs (still losing), and I’m clear headed, and energized again.
That's awesome
sounds like some sort of intolerance, i developed one against grains, any grain. i leave that out, migraine free. lost ton of weight also.
Many a great scientist has been silenced for speaking the TRUTH! Well done Gary!
I have so much gratitude for people like Gary and Belinda, and also for Tim Noakes.
Very strict Keto has set me free in so many ways!
Not only has Keto taken 55 lbs off of my body, but it has also gotten me off all diabetes medications, normalized my A1c, cleared my head and set me free from ALL food cravings! And I'm almost 60.
Same here on carnivore 9 months now.
I think the key is cutting out sugars, grains and all processed 'foods".
I'm 64 getting ready to retire feeling better than I have in 20 years.
It's remarkable!
The More I hear about these industries and people involved in anti - human activities the more meat, fish and dairy I eat,
Absolutely! I wish more people could hear this. I share it on my SM but it's ignored. Ppl are happy living in the matrix, while corporations continue to poison and profit. It's sad!
Look at how they're scaring people with covid and governments mandating a vax for a 100% curable illness and preventable deaths. 78% were obese and 96% were vitamin d, both symptoms of the low fat diet that is fueling the 5 trillion dollar food and healthcare industries.
So true!!
@@jimcricket1 100% curable…no. Certainly being a normal weight with a good vitamin D level helps, people die of flu and cold all the time, no reason they wouldn’t also die of covid. You need to be realistic. When you’re angry and spewing untruths your message-fix obesity and vitamin D -just gets lost.
@@greenghost6416 perhaps the conversation we are incapable of having due to its implicit insensitivity revolves around the price healthy people are paying to offer the sickly a better chance at survival in a time obsessed with immortality. That discussion rapidly returns to questions such as what are legislators doing to ensure all humans are equipped with the knowledge to maintain their own individual health while being afforded the resources required to do so and understanding the threats, mostly distorted by profit.
Foxes and hen houses.
You won’t find this kind of stuff in your high school history nor health books. Got a real education here today.
Genesis 1: 29-31. What does GOD....give us to eat?
He doesn't give us CHEERIOS!!
@@frankfromupstateny3796 After the flood, He gave us meat. Let’s fight Genesis with Genesis!
Sad part is how many people don't find this kind of information even when they become ill unless they take charge of their own health and research on their own.
How true ,my husband ,loves his food over his health , obese and type 2 . I'm so unhappy that he won't do it . Keep praying x
Number of people who won't listen.
I starved myself fat on 1200 low fat, high fibre calories a day for decades. I thought something was wrong with me. 8t wasn't until my husband had 3 stokes and we found out he was diabetic that I question the advice.
On the diet from the hospital both he and his blood work were worse every 3 weeks. Went on for 8 months.
I read Good Calories, Bad Calories and watched The Oiling of America. Changed both of our diets to the old British diet in the prologue. His next bloodwork improved and several months later a stranger understood him. That was 13 years ago. I went from size 18 to 6/8. All without starving.
I personally take notes and leave copies for people to find, and talk, talk, talk😂
So sad, but he's a sugarholic. Just as bad as an alcoholic. You can't want it for them more than they want it for themselves.
I agree with Dr. Gary Fettke. I myself being diabetic for 35 years and having a A1c of 5.5 last time I was tested after eliminating most of the carbohydrates in my diet. It took a number of years to get to this point, but I continued to make progress. You can too!
My hat off to Dr. Fettke. It is sad that this man had to go through so much for his correct beliefs about nutrition. Thank you for an excellent video.
A brave doctor who is actually helping. Keep up the good work 👍
Another excellent interview. I've heard Gary and his wife Belinda speak many times and I'm still shocked at how uncaring the health care system reallyl is. I am glad to have found keto/low carb. No more worring about developing diabetes (i was prediabetic). I am hopeful that my brain is getting all the healthy nutrient dense fatty foods it needs to avoid early dementia which runs in my family. Diet Doctor keep doing what you are doing. Things must change. Real food = a healthy metabolism
Been keto/carnivore for over a year now. It just keeps getting better and better.
👍👍
Shrug and Drug
@@rdrake316 shrug and drug, I’ll try and remember that.
HC is big business, won't make money off healthy people.
Very eye-opening! I'm familiar with the Seventh-Day Adventist church, and what he says is spot on. I just never realized how deep it ran and how much influence they actually have. I was on a vegan diet for 13 months and got sicker and fatter. Recently, I switched to LCHF, and the weight just started melting off, and all my pain and symptoms disappeared quickly.
Were you eating whole food carbs or processed carbs?
@@lenblack1462 I don't know about April B, but I was not eating processed carbs, but whole grains etc. I still had horrible outcome due to too many carbs eating the normal 60+% carbs. Once I went LCHF/ Keto, I was able to stop my metformin, and other meds. Too many carbs from any source is still harmful.
Your results may vary, but I am low carb for life!
I know many SDAs also. Many are chronically ill, infertile, and require joint replacement surgeries. This is a congregation of less than 100 and most are lifetime vegans and vegetarians.
I’ve been to Loma Linda. The SDAs over there are very healthy. Like doing sports in their 70’s, 80’s. It’s a blue-zone. We can’t just dismiss what they are doing
Right, I bet they are eliminating Sugar and Processed foods@@TheFireGlory07
I so appreciate this information. It confirms what I’ve suspected for a long time. I started Keto in January 2020 and at 75 am feeling better than I have in many years and am losing weight plus all numbers are getting better. I do appreciate you and Dr Eric Westman. This is the way I’m going to eat the rest of my life!
Almost 73 here and ditto for me! One year on Keto and doing so well it is almost unbelievable. Love Dr. Westman and also Dennis Pollack's vids helped me immensely in the beginning.
80 here and totally diabetic free ( after only one month) and much slimmer and healthier and drug free since going carnivore almost three years ago! I’m a much happier person 😁
I found high protein about 10 years ago, Ideal Protein and lost 80 pounds, maintained most of it, which was surprising, Mar 2020 I found keto and while I haven't reduced I feel better, carnivore is my goal but I fall off regularly being surrounded by others junk😆 working on myself hoping to affect them too.
I learned through my low carb journey that I am a carnivore and never been healthier and a better weight in my life at 74. I took myself off all meds much to my doctors disgust. I know now being in a job Iu hated was the cause of my stress and deteriorating health, statins, 2 BP meds. I retired and used Covid time to research and get healthy. This doctor is humble, a quality many in the field lack, I know several diabetics who buy all the BS that Pharma and these food industry based studies feed them. Cancer patients too are given sugar in clinics and hospitals.....cancer feeds on sugar yet the clinics are telling people not to do fast and eat what they want I have vegetarian friends who won't supplement and are nothing but carb and sugar addicts and are in denial that their sugar intake is hard. Then they wonder why they have inflammatory diseases and infections. You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink. You are a brave man doctor and are 100% guided by a higher force.
Wow! I feel so enlightened. Thank you for this solid gold interview. I have been LCHF for the last 18 months in an effort to heal my painful gut issues. I will never go back to eating sugar and processed foods but find my friends and family often quote back at me ‘ what about cholesterol??’ Ultra processed foods have become the ‘norm’ in our supermarkets and modern people eat for TASTE RATHER THAN NUTRITION. I have found that real food tastes so much better once the sugars and processed foods are eliminated from the diet
Great work! Congratulations. I am finding the same result. Now, I find walnuts to be sweet, whereas a bite of donut to be nauseating. (not that I have eaten a donut in the past year...)
cholesterol was very misunderstood over the past few decades. Your brain is made up mostly of cholesterol, and your body needs to eat fat in order to regulate certain functions like hormones. eating cholesterol, like eggs, is very important for brain health. I watched my father have several heart surgeries and now I had one 4 years ago (but not for clogged arteries, I have hypertrophic cardiomyopathy obstructive - and required relief from symptoms of that issue. However, I've been monitoring diet and cholesterol for a long time. It's likely a lot of dementia/alzheimer's cases may have been exacerbated by lack of proper nutrition regarding cholesterol.)
it is a mental disorder called hyperpalatability
Dr.Atkins was sending the same basic message some 50 years ago and received the same kind of persecution. He, too, was stubborn and saved the lives of many.
Didn’t he die overweight and of heart failure? I’m not being provocative. Personally, I’m looking for a diet that will help me lose weight w/o eating a lot of meat - mostly veg, some meat, low carb. I can’t seem to find anyone in the middle of the veg/meat road.
@@sandraelder1101no. He had a fall and cracked his head on the ice while skating. You can ask his colleague Dr. Eric Westman, who still treats many patients with keto diets the way Atkins did. Westman usually ends up with people who are desperate to loose weight and are on the last resort for surgery and are still too ill to get it. He is an amazing doctor and personalises keto diets on an individual level in his practice
I apoligize, but it had to be done. Years ago I prayed that these doctors would get sick to understand what we're all going thru. So far I have found Dr. Berg, Dr. Hyman, plus others and now this fine man. Thank you all for figuring this all out. I am 67 years old and feel better than I did in my 30's.
Just had a neck surgery, last september, Type 1 Diabetic, lchf 10:yrs and keto, One day after surgery they sent me home, 4 hours in a bus, i 've not taken any drugs or painkillers since the day of surgery. I'm just in no pain what so ever. They put a small stellcage between vertebrae C6-C7, and they released the rootnerve at C7. I recover faster than i don't know what....and the only thing i can think of is the food i eat. No pain, no painkillers and steady diabetes no highs, no lows
I hope you are doing great still, anyway you share your neck surgeon information, IV been dealing with neck issues for 13 years now thank you
As a nurse working in a rehab unit, I was told it was okay for a young patient to have 2-3 cans of Coke with each meal, otherwise she refused to eat. When I asked how broken bones could heal, I was ignored or told, just give the pop anyway.
All that phosphoric acid billowing out that patient's bones, which needed to heal, + causing so many other problems for the patient; very sad. Also, drinking all that coke likely contributed to that patient's broken bones in the first place.
If she refused to eat a little fasting would have helped her heal....but that is a terrible no-no, people think you will die if you skip a meal🙄
@@deboraballes9044 don't be ridiculous. Swapping addiction for an eating disorder is your advice? Do you even know what rehab is?

I tried low fat (less than 10%) and was ALWAYS hungry! Fast forward a number of years, overweight, in the pipeline for two knee replacements. Adopting a 20 gram or less carb LCHF diet, and weight is reduced, and knee pain is drastically reduced. Rethinking my spot in the cue for replacement.
Fascinating and very disturbing at the same time, thank you!
Every one should share this -
Bless this man for sticking to his beliefs and fighting for this worlds health and well-being 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
I love these Diet Doctors podcasts very informative. Thank you Dr Scher.
Thank you for exposing all those pious 7day Adventist’s and greedy self serving businesses at our expense! As you say, question everything. Even Buddha said,” Don’t believe me,question everything” Great to hear you with your courageous honesty!
Good stuff Dr Gary !!!! Please soldier on. We need to change the health industry quickly. too many people are suffering
About a year ago I went on LCHF ... I had a lot of pain in my hips 64-65 years old .... It took about 6 months now I have absolutely not pain at all.👏👏👏
Dr. Lustig devotes a chapter to the history and consequences around the Flexner report. The book is 'Metabolical' and very much worth reading.
Standard British diet as I was taught by my grandparents who lived through a war and raised children on ration packs was meat and two veg , how did we get so far away from that
Question: "how did we get so far away from that" Answer: Advertising. People are bombarded by advertising sponsored by the big processed-food industry. And the media, of course, supports their sponsors.
@@hikari8858 Also big ships and refrigeration.
Blood sausage for breakfast used to be the British thing....
That is the time when there was no overweight people and medication was unheard of
The invention of the dietician during the 70's was to teach housewives how to put the excess grains onto the dinner table. Pre 80's, we always slimmed down by skipping the bread & potatoes.
I am 70, been keto a year and just gone carnivore. Down 25kgs, no health problems or drugs. Daughter just turned 50 and had half knee replacement 3 years ago and fused discs in lower back last year. Not recovered yet. Not keto, been brainwashed.
Yes, I've had similar reaction from my kids.
I felt relief with joint pain in fingers within a week!! Amazing! Why did I have to seek this out for myself? No doctor EVER suggested this for me! I had an “AhhHaa” moment in October realizing that I was only 14 years away from being the age my daddy was when he was diagnosed with Dementia! My mother is in constant pain from osteoarthritis!
I don’t want either of these things in my future!!
I immediately made an appointment with a Functional Health Doctor and started on an Autoimmune Protocol Elimination.
I have learned SO MUCH since then by doing my own research!! So thankful for doctors like both of you who help us to understand and get healthy!!😘
What's sad is that after two years this video only has 80k views🙁 while some stupid pranksters get milions in seconds to minutes...
Up to 188k now, word is spreading!
More and more people are taking notice of the deleterious effects which refined carbs and added sugar bring forth. It takes time, but any progress is good progress. Nowadays healthy fat is encouraged even on high carb diets. Compare that to the 90s when all fat was considered bad. My MIL, who was a teen in the early 80s, told me how even Avocados were vilified back then. Crazy!
It's natural selection
Thank you Dr. Fettke for your work. Being righteous as a physician is validating the hippocratic oath. Full admiration to these pioneers that are so much needed in these corrupt times.
The most disappointing thing in my life to date is learning how so many people can be so easily influenced by media and how they blindly trust government. My motto is question everything and believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.

Insulin resistance (high triglycerides/ low HDL and perfect LDL. Now my cardiologist wants me to keep my LDL low and ignores my triglycerides and HDL numbers... I just can't get my head around the medical experts inability to look at information and work things out...
My blood pressure went down 30 points after 4 DAYS on low carb diet.
Love your work Dr. Bret Scher - professional and objective - continue to educate people :)
I ended up in the hospital on October 2022 for an emergency appendectomy. After 53 years of age, I had managed to dodge hospitals all this time, so this was my first experience. Following surgery, I was given a painkiller which caused massive hallucinations. The next morning, I asked the nurse what the heck they had given me the night before... Turns out it was oxycodone. Had I known, I would've refused categorically. Panadol would've sufficed. I told her about the hallucinations and she simply replied, "oh dear! Sounds like you had a bad trip with the 'codone." 🙄 And then, came the hospital food. Sweetened orange juice, frosted rice bubble cereals with low fat milk, two slices of white bread, margarine (yes, MARGARINE!) and strawberry jam. 🤮Needless to say, when the doc came around to ask me if I felt fit to go home (they needed the hospital beds, ) I promptly replied "YOU BET!" I still can't believe how messed up the Australian medical system is.
As a side note, I would also like to add... to any Australian who's been thinking about getting a sleep apnea test... DON'T! If you so happen to have sleep apnea (even a mild case like mine) they will scare you with the risk of losing your drivers license if you don't get treatment, like a CPAP machine. The test is covered by Medicare, but the treatments aren't, so you're up for thousands of dollars, trying to cover your @$$ to not lose your license. Way to go, health system! Since I got caught by this "scam," I discovered LCHF diets and decided to go on the ketovore diet. I lost 5kgs in one month, I sleep better (and so does my husband as he told me I don't snore or gasp anymore,) my arthritis has disappeared and I feel amazing. Thank you Dr. Fettke for fighting the good fight for all us patients. I just wish our family doc was as switched on as he is.
If I was unfortunate enough to end up in hospital, I would either fast, have family to bring real food or order Uber eats - McDonalds beef patties are good!
@@eatmeatandliftweights5754 Rest assured that I'm doing my utmost best to stay away from the "sick house" (hence going on a ketovore diet.) Thanks for the great suggestions. Will definitely keep those in mind in the unfortunate event of getting stuck in a "house-pill-tel." LOL!
Watching this pod cast opened my eyes. Thank you Garry and Belinda for your courage and conviction, without people like you we wouldn’t have choices. 🙏🏻💕👍xoxo
I had back surgery due to arthritis in my spine occluding my cord and causing terrible sciatic pain. I went to the Carnivore woe (way of eating) 7 months ago. My sciatic pain is gone, shoulder and arm pain gone and my eczema is almost completely gone. I also dropped twenty two pounds in four months without even trying.
He's halfway there. His analogy of the car tyre versus your joints misses the fact that our joints WILL regenerate given the right circumstances. HFLC diet stops the inflammation, but you also need to get the joint to regenerate from the damage. Get the synovial fluid to lubricate the joint properly and make sure that the nerve to the joint isn't compromised. Dr John Bergman has some great videos on this. It works, I no longer need a hip replacement.
Looks like you're a strong pendant my friend....now...keep speaking!

In public hospitals in Victoria Australia, every diabetic patient was given the same diet choices as the other patients.
We had 'low fat & low salt' choices for cardiac patients, but diabetics would get toast and jam, cereal, a small container of fruit in syrup for breakfast, they weren't allowed dessert (except sugary yoghurt) for lunch or afternoon tea, but dinner was carbohydrate rich and they were given a small container of icecream.
It never made any sense to me as a cardiac nurse.
I remember being told that because a slice of raisin bread was made low-GI because of the dried fruit, that it was a good snack for diabetics. I didn't understand how that was biologically possible.
They pushed the low-GI, low-fat message without considering the total carb loading and I was led to believe that this was "healthy". The food pyramid had bread on it as something that we should consume more of.
We were fed lies and propaganda, under the guise of "health" but it was industry, Big Pharma, Big Sugar, Big Food (the SDAs) behind it.
Some time ago I spent around a week in hospital with a ruptured appendix. For almost entirely the whole time I did not get fed. I was bored but not hungry at all. When I was finally offered food, it was unpalatably sweet pudding and apple juice. I found that I became hungry all the time. BTW, I still have my appendix as it healed during that time and that was 2019.
This was an excellent conversation! I am bingeing on Diet Doctor podcasts. They are real "reality checkers". Watching shows like "Grey's Anatomy" had me thinking Drs. Were making groundbreaking, life changing revelations all the time. Only to find out that if your discoveries and research goes against conventional wisdom and corporate profits, your reputation and career are in danger. That's scary!
Actually this has been true all through history, the pioneers and the ones who made ground breaking discoveries that opened new doors in medicine and science have always had to suffer for going against the status quo...such is human nature
It’s always been this way only before people would either be killed or thrown in prison
Wow...what a important study..my eyes are open!
This wan an awesome interview! Thank you so much!
Gary and Belinda,brave and courageous in speaking the truth inspite of the most appauling harrassment,heros for public health truth❤️
I recently spent 2 days in hospital here in Nz and I am glad I didn't have to stay longer, I would have starved to death. Breakfast cornflakes, fruit juice, white toast and low fat milk I did have real butter but with a side of jam. Lunch fake leek and potato soup and "macaroni cheese" my blood would have shown I have high cholesterol ( 40 years at least) but this is me, I have the treadmill regularly to test my heart and arteries ( comment from heart specialist) at 65, the "heart of a 40 year old" I refused statins because when first advised no-one could say what benefits they offer. My trigliscerides at excellent and for last month I have been on LCHF diet cause my weight was slowly creeping up ( 50 kg on wedding day in 1967 and at Christmas 2019 creeping over 86 kg!!!) in 1 month I have dropped to 79 kg and dropping !!! thank goodness for LCHF
86 kg that's nothing!
Another anecdotal testimony..."tell your friends"...never stop.
What they put Dr. Fettke through is atrocious, but in the end, it has helped the LCHF movement with all the publicity and persecution. Thank you, Dr. Fettke, for your stalwart advocation of a lifestyle and way of eating that actually helps people!
Absolutely shocking the way this good Doctor and Dr Noakes have been treated . ' First do no harm ' .
Thank you Dr. Gary Fettke for your fight for us.😊
Thank you Gary and Belinda, you're both wonderful.
After quitting sugar and refined processed foods, I never think about my weight. It stays perfect. An orthopedic surgeon told me vegan diets were bad 20 years ago.
Surprised Nina Teicholtz's name was never mentioned, or her book, Big Fat Surprise. She established a non-profit for the purpose of changing the guidelines. She speaks at length about the history of the Adventists and Kellogg.
He also started the ongoing circumcision atrocity
It now makes more sense that doctors are more and more trained to just diagnose and prescribe. It is critical in keeping up the cycle of making people sick and on meds
Thanks to the doctor for his convictions
"The Great American Healthcare Scam" by David Belk, MD is a good way to understand how the insurance/pharma/hospital system works. It will give you an insight into why the sick care system is arcane, convoluted, and expensive - by design. New book available on Amazon.
Great video. Hopefully grains and sugar get the same treatment that tobacco got in the 60's.
I wouldn't hold my breath, the people in power are trying to convince us all that we should get off all animal products to save the world....

Wow! This is so eye opening. I wish all my loved ones would watch it.
I so admire everyone who has gone on the keto or meat diet, stuck to it and got healthy and lost weight. I keep resolving to do that but my will is so weak and my desire for the sugar is so strong that I just fail every time.
The sugar desire goes down very quickly as does the constant hunger. It is not as hard as you think after the first 3-7days depending on the person.
You only fail when you stop trying! It may take time but you will eventually lose the cravings. And you won't even know it until one day you'll say, wow, I don't feel like eating sugar anymore!
Thank you for the encouragement. It is helpful. I’m continuing to try although the messages in my head keep telling me I can’t do it. I’m down about a pound and that helps my confidence some. Perhaps I can surprise my family at Thanksgiving. 🙏
@@ruthmaryrose treats in the office required will power, especially chocolate. Most recently, some donuts were on offer, zero will power was required, I simply didn't want them at all (1 year into my health kick). Chocolate still draws me in me - I do or do not have it on occassion, but it is important to moderate/have an end trigger (even if just the whole one block) and NOT have guilt. Guilt a powerful enemy.
It's not suited to everyone. A lot of people struggle with health issues due to the inability to digest fats or malabsorption issues. I had to drop it after a year due to hormonal imbalance and symptoms of malnutrition. Gum disease, loss of vision, deformed nails etc.
On my very low carb (well under 20 grams) diet, I am off all the nsaids. I do have the orthovisc shots every 6 months. My left knee is a 4 on a scale of one to four for replacement, the right knee is a 3. I have NO PAIN. In the hospital, they are required to have 45 grams of carb per meal. It is the same at rehab. Unless I can make sure my
friends and family bring food to me I am up the proverbial creek without a paddle.
Perhaps you could consider intermittent fasting.....I have one hip and a knee replacement. My other hip hurts like a son of ...so I’m trying fasting. Good luck whatever your decision 🙏
@@jimconnell8994 I eat between 12 and 6 pm. I am steadily losing weight. I do get the orthovisc shots every 6 months. My hands were really bad, reducing inflammation has helped a lot. I am also 68.
I used to get really bad pain in my hands after lumber work (chainsaw, ax etc). Now my hands are much better. I think an extended fast (~3 days) may stimulate more stem cells. Chondrocytes differentiate from osteochondroprogenitor cells produced in the bone marrow. Your joints only get nutrients when you move. Fasting can stimulate more release of stem cells, mild exercise can help get these cells into your synovial fluid. I'm 54 years old, deadlift ~250 lbs, bench ~165lbs and have virtually no arthritis anymore.
They used to say that cartilage won't regenerate. But maybe no one made observations in the proper conditions.
I've had good results with 36 - 38 hour fasts. I think if you're on a low carb diet you hit the beneficial effects of fasting sooner. I've lost about 60 lbs on LCHF and intermittent fasting. I have no idea what has been the most beneficial between diet or fasting, but I'm not going back to a standard diet or 3 meals a day. BTW, my strength went UP while I was LOSING weight. I'm still getting stronger with only about 2 hours of weight training per week.
I am new here, so would someone please tell me what LCHF means? My husband and I just started the Carnivore diet today, and I'm looking forward to all the benefits, but scared to death that I won't be strong enough to stay on it. We are both strongly addicted to our carbs, and are afraid of failing. Neither one of us needs to lose weight, but heard so many good things about just improving our health and getting rid of inflammation. What's the secret for resisting the temptations?
LCHF - Low Carb, High Fat. While some people can jump right into a low carb or carnivore way of eating, other people find it easier to "step down" gradually. You may find this helpful.

I haven't researched carnivore and what exacly it allows to eat or if it has health benefits over keto. If you do find carnivore hard to stay on, I think keto might be easier with many of the same benefits.
I enjoy cooking and eating low-carb/keto. For example I would never give up desserts but there are so many keto recipes. I had a delicious keto carrot cake (microvawe one from ketoserts channel) for breakfast today. Bread and pasta are tricky, I haven't found options so amazing that you couldn't tell they are keto yet (perhaps with bread I would, if I was willing to deal with leftover egg yolks). I don't know how many such carnivore recipes there are.
I find that listening to talks by Dr. Joan Ifland helps me to resist temptation like nothing else.
She goes (deep) into exactly how planned and intentional it was, on the part of the junk food industry, to get us all mindlessly addicted since infancy. They didn't care at all about the millions or billions of lives they'd be ruining or the untold suffering their products would cause.
Hearing about it makes me more determined than ever to not be the good little consumer/addict they tried to mold everyone into.
Kudos to you both for getting the word out.
Such an interesting talk, thankyou. The seventh day adventist church completely ignores God's recommendations for eating meats. Throughout the Old Testament God gives instruction to the priests and people about eating meat, eg Leviticus 17:13 And even though the Israelites were eating grains too, the grains would have been original, not modified, not covered in pesticides, or poisons. Keto/carnivore diet benefits have been hidden from us for too long. Thankyou for being such a strong voice in this campaign/war against the lies of the food industry.
Corporate cereal industry corruption is shocking.
It's like carbohydrate poisoning & health: if you tell a lie long enough it becomes truth.
QUESTION EVERYTHING!
Don't BELIEVE me or anyone else, SEE for YOURSELF! Great interview! Thanks!
There is a HUGE difference between being anti-meat and being anti-industrial meat.
Can the doctors, who are willing to question everything and who are seeing the falsities, come together and create a community where we can point to when someone we know is genuinely interested in seeing beyond what we are told at our check ups?
Such a community has just been created in Poland, independent from the official “health body”. The impulse behind was all the lies around the latest “deadly vrus “
No...no...they can't afford to "teach health, with mandates on pushing more and more pharmaceuticals. So....NO.. THEY AREN'T PAID TO.
Many are way too attached to their pay packets (huge), so integrity goes out of the window
I kind of doubt it in the U.S., the doctors got their annual beat down during Covid and are still cowering in the corner of their office.
Don't do checkups!
Found a great saying on the internet but don’t know to whom the credit belongs…
“Truth doesn’t mind being questioned.
A lie doesn’t like being challenged “
I’m trained as a critical thinker and there’s ALWAYS an objection to questions I ask when all I need is more information!
im LCHF and it hasnt taken my knee pain away.....so please be careful ..i am a strict page 4 less than 20 grams of carbs a day keto follower...i do it to control blood sugar and i have lost weight...my knees , especially my right one is still in horrible pain
Have a look at removing all foods that have high oxalates - ie: switch to animal based diet and it might help. Sally Norton does some great videos on this if you are curious.
The diet doesn't cure everything regardless of what they tell you.
Diet doesn't necessarily fix everything, there are other causes that are physical. Compensating muscles can do a lot of damage all over the body, which is also something doctors and physical therapists aren't educated in. I have a severe back injury from being run over by a car as a child. Over time it snowballed into other issues, from knees and ankles to shoulder and neck damage. Finally I found a particular set of exercises designed to undo compensating muscles. Check out a book called "Pain Free" by Pete Egoscue. It saved my life and got me out of bed and functioning again.
It takes a while to recover after years of pain and illness Sally Norton's videos on oxalates will be helpful to you
An engrossing discussion, thank you both.
I am one of them who refused 4 replacements 20 years ago. Getting better all the time. It was just business. I healed due to suplements and change of lifestyle.
I listen to Diet Doctors every day! Been a great help to me!
Thank you for this- in every sentence I feel validated, vindicated, understood, and respected. We will not be silenced. Our patients need us to question and be vocal.
This video sent me off on a tangent to read about the Seventh Day Adventist influence on diet from the late 19th century on, and I am flabbergasted. It's a paradigm shift - like waking up and realizing there is no Easter Bunny, Tooth Fairy or Santa Claus.
No tooth fairy? WTH!!
This video is vital. Absolutely vital.
If you want to go straight to the part where Gary and his wife did investigative work on who is behind the food pyramid and basically who coaxes us into being vegans, start at 15:30.
Thank you! Appreciated.
REAL FOOD, EAT IT!!!!!
Frankiez220 Don’t Beat about the bush, just say how you feel, lol 😆
Remarkable and courageous !
Great interview. Thank you to both.
Wonderful conversation. So much good information. One concern though . . . can you push the couch a little to the left so it aligns with the picture? 🙂
I am not the only one that notices these things ❤
YOGA LOLO ♥️ hopefully there aren’t too many of us.
@Dan de Lion the absurdity of it is not lost on me ☺
Table needs a little nudge to the left, too, so the mic "arms" are properly aligned with the picture
Great interview!
BIG fan of both of you guys. Keep up your amazing work.
One of the most important videos I’ve ever seen. Bravo!
I ran into a man I hadn't seen in probably 15 years. He's Seventh Day Adventist and follows their dietary restrictions. I must say, he looked pretty terrible. I know we all age over time, and we don't look like we did when we were younger, but along with looking old and tired, he was obese and was using a walker. I wanted to suggest he have some grass-fed lamb chops or a steak. :) Oh well, to each his own.😋
Yes i know a couple and he's obese and she's so skinny and emaciated she looks almost mummified. She adamant vegan is what God wants for us.
Or some fatty pork rinds.
@wolfthequarrelsome504 you're a bad person, ha, ha.
Here in the UK the government pays farmers to do nothing. They could raise free range cattle, increasing the supply of grass-fed beef, which, presumably, would lower the price so that more people could afford it.
You're living in the skyscraper of over wealthy elites.
Grass fed.
They want ppl to be fat, sick, apathetic, and in Europe they want to replace the indigenous ppl, or at least marginalize them into helplessness
Great and very serious information.
Amazing. Thank you both for such an in lighting information.
