Brilliant advice. I avoided double knee replacement. I went low carb and IF, reversed T2Diabetics, lost weight, lowered my BP and went off all meds with 6 months. I go to my physio and do some knee exercises now, could barely walk six years ago. This is a lifestyle for me now, has been for 6 years and I'm 72 years old.
How did you reverse your T2diabities. Thank you for your testimony of health
Me too. Exact same story here... exact same story!
@@barbarapinto7178 STOP EATING CARBS. No more bread, pizza (crust anyway), cakes, cookies, no more sugar, no fruit (all fruit is high in sugar), no more grains (rice, corn, chips of any type).
Strawberries are good for keto and blueberries... some nuts, such as pecans and almonds. I completely reversed my Type2 Diabetes by eating lots of meat, salads here and there, dairy, eggs, LOTS of bacon... just educate yourself on what foods have carbs. You will lose weight and your blood pressure and other health markers will shine!!
@@arlo2203 God bless you for your valuable advice.
What knee exercises do you do? Thanks!
I found for myself that the following items increase my arthritis: sugar, gluten, and dairy. I despise keto diets as I don’t like meat, fish, or eggs. But eliminating the above foods helps with arthritis pain.
When I do keto and intermittent fasting my inflammation and pain leaves after 4-5 days, along with losing weight steadily even at age 69. Thanks for validating these methods.
I cut down on sugar and almost instantly my knees felt better...Trying to get rid of the inflamation in my body all together. Trying to avoid knee replacements. Sugar is white death.
Second this , anyone reading that wants knee pain of any pain gone wayy sooner , cut of fast foods and sugar
Im leaving this comment because I hope your videos get really popular. The glute exercises for knee pain are what fixed my bad knees several years ago.
Same here .
Just finished watching that video.
I’m so excited. My cardiologist has just told me to give up carbs and how fasting helps my heart and diet. He is also a metabolism expert. He eats breakfast on his first morning break at 10 am. Because he’s very busy, he eats again at supper at 6.
Then from supper to next day at 10 an, nothing. I’m losing wait, feel full. I’m supposed to have knee replacement in a few months. Going to this full steam to see if I can avoid surgery. I’m bone on bone.
Diet is HUGE for my osteo health. The whole plant food diet works best for me without added salt, oil, sugar. Plus intermittent fasting!
I'm slim, but had no idea my diet could be causing my knee problems. Knowledge is power. Thank you to all who shared their amazing health testimonies.
For knee osteoarthritis it is important to strengthen all your leg muscles to support your knees. I began exercises in 2006 and incorporated all the exercises that I was taught by my physiotherapists. Now I have my own routine. Despite my fat free vegetarian diet, I began bloating and gaining weight. By 2017 I was my heaviest ever. That is when I discovered the Keto diet. I am still vegetarian; lost 10 kg; and lowered my blood pressure too. I am now 76. I began trekking at 70 and continue to do so. So All this is possible if you are disciplined. I have my wonderful doctor to thank for his advice on how to keep knee pain at bay.
Hey Maya, Thank you so much for sharing your experience!🧡 It is inspiring to hear and we are so happy to see that the Keto diet has worked well for you. At 76 years young you are thriving due to the dedication you made towards your health. Great work!🙌
I envy you
How did you manage that and still stay vegetarian?
@mayamaker8841 What foods do you eat on a daily basis as part of your veg keto diet? Can you share pls?
Soy, tempeh, legumes, seeds, chia seeds, hemp seeds..
I am 76 with knee issues you are discussing. I am eating more meat, eggs, vegs, and fruits and cutting out the rest to 1 starch a day. Plus, I added Tumeric, and quit taking a statin. My knee has improved 100%.
Wow!!! That’s amazing Lynda!!! We’re so glad to hear you’ve improved 100%!!! ❤️
Been following your videos...excellent advise. Much better than my physical therapist I quit seeing that made my knee worse.
Would turmeric tea help fight pain & inflammation?
@lyndasalgodo3812 I fired my PT because she caused me MORE pain (and she had a doctorate).
@@judycrisenbery2982 I have tried turmeric in various forms nd it has never helped me. But some on here say it does wonders for them, I guess we are all different.
My surgeon asked me to lose 20 pounds before my LTKR surgery. I lost 29 pounds (in 3 months) using low carb, IF & exercise. My knees felt so good I was considering NOT doing surgery.
Today is 5 weeks after my total knee. First, I had an excellent surgeon and I have followed his Pre-op and post-op instructions to a T. Started PT the next day after my overnight in the hospital. I have a wonderful Physiotherapist who is helping me get ready for my next surgery in 3 months. I have been following your videos on UA-cam and think you are one amazing PT!! Thank you for sharing information with others about IF and Keto. Cutting out sugar & processed food is a real game changer! I use (the free version) the ZERO app fasting clock. It too was a game changer for fasting. I choose how many hours I want to fast and it does the rest. Even tells me when I'm burning fat for fuel or in ketosis. I can't thank my orthopedic surgeon enough for asking me to lose weight before my first TKR.
thank you not 1 ortho dr has mentioned eating better for me n my joint health. As there's classes for diabetic, there is a need to educate the public on joint health. I see too many people with mobility issues and no one to lead me in the direction that could changes my current situation. I'm most grateful for you taking time to share your knowledge with us 🙏
You are the first therapist that has actually made sense . How can so many of the others be so wrong ? I had a therapist tell me I sit u to straight , I never went back .
Big fan of Dr. Mercola for many years!
So happy to see you recommending these dietary changes! I'm mostly carnivore, With occasional 36 hr protein sparing modified fasts, Keep my eating window on most days to 8 hours. At age 59 I am recovering from a torn hip labrum without surgery.
I was diagnosed with mast cell activation syndrome several years ago and almost died from anaphylactic shock several times. I've been able to get off all of the meds and am now nearly symptom free.
I also dropped 60 pounds.
Many people are healing from arthritis and immune system disease on sugar and grain free, low carb and carnivore type diets.
I just recently found you and you And I am grateful to finally understand at age 52 all that I was doing wrong regarding muscle Imbalances and knee inflamation. I have been with another very educated man Dr. Joel Fuhrman for 20 years Who taught me intermittent fasting.... And how to eat...I have lost 50 pounds. Thank you for emphasizing the intimate fasting and inflammation relationship, It opened my eyes to my continuing knee issues. You are a genuine man and I thank God for you.
Hey Rocky, We are so happy that the intermittent fasting has been working for you! We appreciate your kind words. =D
I have fasted one day a week for thirty years. It seems to control or eliminate aches and pains related to gout and arthritis.
I would also vouch for the age old tradition of not eating after sunset....not that I follow it..
I have found your knee related videos very helpful, thank you.
That’s such a great method. Our health teacher taught us it in college. I didn’t follow it unfortunately and became quite fat. I lost it through cutting out bread and following a diet called Carb Cravers which involved restricting carbs to OMAD. That worked great. Then I went Vegan. I managed some days fasting during 2020 and it helped me greatly.
My doctor told me to drink plenty of water to flush gout out of my body. It worked and has never returned.
My doctor told me to drink plenty of water to flush gout out of my body. It worked and never regurned.
Dr, the last 4 years have been amazing. I eat 90% Keto and IF around 18-20 hrs daily. I also do OMAD 1-2 days a week. I lift wts and exercise daily. I've gone from 18/20 XL to 8/10 M, going recently to S. Btw, I'm almost 71.
I never snack or feel hungry, do not think of food after my "main meal" which is normally around 2. I do go out to eat at least twice a week and make good choices.
For Keto, I eat mostly 1 ingredient food, no processed foods. We can do this! Don't believe that as we age we cannot be healthier and/or lose weight. Keto is not a diet but a lifelong way of eating for me now. 🙏 💪 ♥
I started this because 4 years ago my knees were in very bad shape.
😅 thank you
Ive cut way down on sugars in the last month which I never thought I could do and I already feel so much better all over. Good to hear your views on intermediate fasting.
Correction: ..... it is Intermittent Fasting and not Immediate Fasting .....Cheers !
A combo of daily walk/elliptical exercise, keto and 16:8 fasting have lowered my blood glucose from 154 to 86 and my knee arthritis has gone from pain level 10 down to a 0-2. I'm a 63 yr old female. Electrolytes will help with keto flu.
Great!
The reason why it's important to leave a sizable time gap from your last eating to bedtime is because when you sleep your body goes into fat-burning mode. If you do this consistently you can lose significant weight over time. You can enhance this effect by selecting a time "window" during each day when you eat, and not eating anything, or just very small amounts of food, outside of this window. My window typically is 6-8 hours, from about 11 am to noon and spanning until 6-8 pm. Top this off by restricting carbs, and everyone who wants to lose weight WILL, and quite easily. I am 70 years old, and i will tell you that it's a fallacy that the older you are, the harder it is to lose weight. After a bad two years starting in 2020, through the gyms closing due to COVID, coupled with accidents and a very bad injury, i had grown despondent and put on significant weight. However, from around April to now, i have lost over 40 lbs. by severely restricting carbs and intermittent fasting. It is NOT hard .... just takes a basic desire to get back into shape and LEARNING the facts about dieting, fasting, moderate exercise, and avoiding evening / nighttime eating. The nighttime eating thing is REALLY important. GLTO.
Yes but don’t you mean restricting foods like sweets/ refined foods such as cheerios?
@@ihartsacto yes, you'll howl, cry, moan several days, but to avoid pain and heal , you follow anti-inflammatory diet
@@judycrisenbery2982 , maybe you're stopping eating too early and you need a bigger window or eat later in the day too so that you can eat later into the evening . Or, maybe you're not getting enough protein.
Check out Autumn Bates
@@cathi7610 thank you
Consider some fiber (psyllium husks, ground flax seeds, etc.) and electrolytes in water. It kills my appetite long enough to get to sleep.
Hi Dr. David! I wanted to make sure none of your people had the wrong ideas about "keto flu". When you eat carbs those carbs hold fluid in your body and in those fluids are your electrolytes (sodium, potassium and magnesium) Once you are in ketosis, your body doesn't have the carbs so will lose the fluid. It is one of the reason people lose weight so quickly in the beginning. If you replace those electrolytes daily you will NOT suffer from keto flu and will do quite well! The lousy feeling are not toxins you must sweat out but your electrolytes you need to replace so your brain, muscles and nerves work well again. So great to see someone recommending keto to heal.
Really great detail to know about!
❤
Love to hear this! I just commented on your reply on your video re top 5 moves to avoid a knee replacement but at the moment I’m dealing with a meniscus tear I think. I’ve been doing the keto diet for several years and am more recently keto/carnivore often called ketovore. I’m in that menopause range, have had gut issues, and diagnosed with Macular degeneration at the young age of 50(there’s a carnivore eye doc I’ve listened to who believes this way of eating can halt the progression
Of Mac D). I’m used to mainstream docs not being on board with the ketogenic diet so it was such a pleasant surprise to see that you are! 😊
Thank you! Good advice.

Fantastic advice thanks
I know if I lose weight my bad knee (meniscus and arthritis) hurts less and I know if I eat a bunch of sugar (carbs) my whole body of joints aches. With fasting, just make sure not to eat that third meal by over eating the other two meals! Hit the protein and fiber hard to avoid doing that. By fasting I've lost 6# in less than 3 weeks and I am not miserable doing it. Must keep yourself busy to help success.
Dr Mercola is very wise. I have been doing gluten-free keto fast for over two years and it’s made a huge difference in my health.
When I cheat I immediately have severe back pain that lasts 24 hours.
I’m also sensitive to nightshade plants which are tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, and potatoes. I cut those out five years ago and noticed a great decrease in pain. My pain increases immediately when I cheat.
Thanks so much for all your excellent videos Dr. David! I am a retired nurse practitioner.
He's a dangerous quack.
I do intermittent fasting but also try the 3 hour fasting before sleep most days even after a night out most of the time.... thank you for your insightful videos on knee arthritis 🎉 🙏
Fantastic video! :) It seems cutting edge to even suggest that changing one's diet can profoundly affect knee arthritis - majorly by reducing the inflammatory response. Congratulations - as a Physiotherapist - for bringing this aspect of treatment to the for in your videos.
Yes, and isn’t that a shame that doctors don’t even connect the dots on what we eat and our health. Hopefully, that will soon change.
I’m in my 68th year. I’ve been intermittent fasting my entire adult life. I’m 5’5” 118. I’ve never had weight issues including during and after pregnancy at 40 YO. I’ve just never been a breakfast person. I was veg for a decade then vegan the past 20 years. I had chronic pain from a compound fracture of my left ankle (impact from a car). After going vegan all pain vanished and I stopped using crutches. Ridding my diet of dairy was the key to no pain. Thank you for talking about diet as a key factor in the health of our joints and bones.💜
I have lost 110 LBs living on Keto. It has taken me about 2 1/2 years, but the thing is, it is so doable. Easy to stay on. When you talk to your doctor, I would not say a Keto Diet. I would tell them, I have cut out sugar and wheat and I am eating low carb. Many doctors don't know much about Keto. Just ask the many doctors who do know about Keto. They said in their years of medical training, they probably only had a few hours of actual nutritional training. I have heard of people who started Keto because they had cancer. Eating Keto turned their cancer numbers around and saved their lives. Another good book is Any Way You Can, by Dr. Annette Bosworth, who actually saved her mother's life by putting her on Keto and actually doing it with her. She is also on UA-cam, under Dr. Boz.
Hey Winona, We are happy to hear that Keto has been beneficial for you! Thank you so much for the book recommendation =-)
Dr Berg is also helpful.
Great advice, this is what I was looking for. Changing your schedule or diet is not an easy thing to do, but if it will make improvements that are noticeable, then it's all worth it.
I used to take Panadol Osteo every evening, just to control the pain in my knees. Then I started taking 2 fish oil capsules every morning, which eliminated the pain altogether. It also eliminated the swelling, especially in my right knee. Sugar was never a problem for me, however I LOVE salt!
I love intermittent fasting. It worked for me (I only had 15 lbs to lose) after years of trying to diet. It's been 4 years and it feels like it has reset my "normal" slim weight that I had been my whole life until my 60's. Admittedly, I'm not hungry for breakfast but waiting until 1pm was a bit hard. Drink water or tea or coffee and get busy and the hunger goes away in a bit, it doesn't build up as people think. Your body is smarter than that. It worked for my husband until he didn't have the will power not to snack. It worked for my sister too and she had 35 -40 lbs to lose. 3 years later she is still slim. Btw: I'm now 70 and my sister is 73. We both exercise and eat healthy.
Hi Patriot, That's fantastic to hear how intermittent fasting has made such a positive impact for you and your family! It's amazing how it can reset our sense of what's normal for our bodies. Thanks for sharing your i journey with us!
Very true. Eight months ago, i could barely walk due to the knee pain. Started IF everyday (6pm to 11am) and low carb no junk food. Tons of energy, can walk now, knee pain is minimal.).
Avoiding sugar and wheat flour and doing low carb has really helped me so very very much 🙋🏻♀️

Wow, I’m impressed you are spot on. I found out that I have histamine issues stemming from oxalate toxicity, 677 MTHFR. And you are right on avocados are high histamine and I was killing myself, loving avocados and shrimp. I was doing keto since 2017 after a six month elimination diet. Eating healthy, shrimp avocado was killing me the histamines for killing me. I’m still trying to work it out. It’s so not easy when you got histamines, oxalates and MTHFR against you.!! Not to mention I’m sure I got gut issues as well. God help me 🙏
Hey Presouz, Thank you for your kind words! 🙌 We're sorry to hear about your struggles with histamine issues stemming from oxalate toxicity! It can be disheartening to find out we can't eat the foods that we love to enjoy, especially when it was part of our regular diet but it is important that we do for our health.

Yes!!! Totally works!!
Great Dycee!!!
I prefer an organic whole food plant based diet as my approach and I love your exercises. When I was much younger I tried High fat High protein and it made me unable to be physically active as I love and besides I got lots of muscle pain and it was more difficult to keep my weight slim - for fats I use seeds, nuts and vegan omega3, B12 and during winter time D vit. 🎶🍀🎵💚🐸
That's what worked for me too!
I am taking this road and I will do Dr Goldners autoimmune diet to get to a healthy state
Worked great for me too, lost 30 lbs & all my pain.
I can affirm that a low carb diet fixes arthritis. Grains, especially, cause my hands great pain.
Thanks for sharing intermiten fasting and keto diet
Agree with the 3 hours. 👍👍
I live on the Keto diet. I have lost 35 pounds. My knee still hurts. I am not overweight anymore. I do know that if I stay away from all of the sugar and startch, I do better. I'm not in as much pain. I do cheat sometimes on the weekend 🙃 ❤ I also have 3 bone spurs
Make castor oil pads for your bone spurs. Check out Barbara O'Neil for recipe.
@@stephenvine5926 🎯🎯🎯
You and I , my dear! Those bone spurs are so painful, even more than the knees! I walk like a 90 years old at age 59. Lost 40 pounds, on keto, no more hypertension, no more high glucose in blood, no more acid reflux, but still having pain in my legs and heels.
I guess I do intermittent fasting although I have never labeled it as such. I simply don't like to eat in the mornings. I eat once A-day anywhere between 11 and 2 PM and then in the evenings just a piece of Fruit and I've eaten that way for many years. It just feels normal to me. But incidentally since I began eating this way I have slowly shed 100 pounds. Can't imagine how bad my knees would be if I still had that 100 pounds to carry around.
Thanks!
Hey Rica, you are very welcome! We really appreciate your support!
Thank you….. I have been learning lots as I have osteoarthritis in both knees. Sucks but I will try this new way of thinking and eating for sure!
Hey there, you are so welcome! Glad you found our content useful! Keep us updated on how these changes do for you!
Excellent advice
Hey Johnny, Thank you so much! Let us know how it works out for you.🙌
very interesting. I have done eating only during during an 8 hr time period for a long time. one thing that has happened is that my body seems to recognize Enough and I just cannot eat anymore, not one bite. Right now just struggling a bit due a move and schedule change. This video is going to be great to get back on track.
Dr. Atkins used keto sticks which turned purple if your body was burning fat.
Everything you've said about diet is so true as I've fully experienced it for myself. I've suffered with acute osteoarthritis for very many years. If only doctors would educate us about this. I was having continuous flare-ups with terrible inflammation so bad that I had the fluid in my knee removed twice in one year with a stabilising steroid injection because it was so incredibly painful. I could barely move much less walk for months on end. At one time spent practically all day in a hot bath to try to get relief from the stiffness in my knee joints. So I took my stationary time to use Google to find out what's going on in my body. This research took a good few months but by the end of it I was far more well informed as to how to help myself with diet rather than relying on medication which made me so terribly nauseous. I was under the hospital consultant who arranged for me to have knee replacement surgery. The appointment date came but I couldn't go through with it. I continued on this new diet programme I started keeping a diary of what I ate and when I had a bad flare-up tracked back to find the culprit. I cleared out all the potentially bad foods and started afresh. Within 4 months I started to feel a definite change in the continuous pain and rigid stiffness. Slowly but surely I was able to walk again pain-free. It took roughly a year to get to this level of non medication and free of any pain and stiffness in my knee joints. I thank the Lord that I was able to find this information 15 years ago. I've kept to a healthy diet lost a lot of weight and am very active going on regular hikes the gym and anything and everything outdoor life entails. I know I have arthritis but I no longer suffer from it ... and I'm always shouting out to everyone to please research and check their diets for a healthier pain-free arthritic life and with YOUR help out there with the combination of the right exercises there should be far less replacement surgeries needed.
So what did you eat please?
@@ihartsacto Yes, we would like to know :)
Also... Did you take your medication while on keto?
Amen thank you for the reassurance that we can cope without medication and surgeries. Once we keep a light weight have a healthy plant based diet (that’s works for me, juicing celery, cucumber, ginger, parsley, and turmeric). I’m living with osteoarthritis in both hips. Right knee was scheduled for replacement in December and I heard a vice telling me not to do it. I called the surgeon and told them cancel it. I’m in my 40s and thank God I did it.
I still go on walks and hikes. Swim 5 days a week. Use steam room and sauna.
We can definitely cope without surgery and medication
Vegan without industrial sugar, without glutenb, no alcohol, no cigarettes 🙏🌱💚
If you have to show some exercise positions. The video will be a greater help without the words on.Thank you. [ From the Philippines]
I hope I am not imposing but for those interested you should watch Barbara o Neil's video on how to cure arthritis. The main culprit of inflammation is wheat. And I attest to that because once I stopped eating anything with flour my knee is no longer acting up and I have lost inches. Your diet should include complex carbohydrates and specifically food that is alkaline not acidic. Check her out.
🙏💚🌱
Thank you your amazing ❤
Hey Julia! You're very welcome!
I am a 55 years old woman in 2019 right knee meniscus tear doctor said early OA
I regularly do RICE method and your exercises helped a lot
With exercise I have great relief. But recently my doctor is suggesting meniscus root key hole surgery
Please advise thanks
Been using Keto & IF to control & maintain my health stats & weight for 4 years with wonderful results. But last year I broke my femur pretty badly & drifted away from full Keto eating & IF. The leg healed fine but now I'm dealing with knee osteoarthritis - twinges, clicks, pops & some mild crunching. Luckily I recently began to feel driven to go back to Keto, IF & exercising - & fast feeling good again, knee included. Quickly dropping sedentary weight gain too, which really helps stop lower body joint paint.
Your body is created to move & burn energy to do it. When it can't (or you don't let it), it's the most miserable unhappy feeling, physically & mentally. Keto & IF are the only habit changes that ever worked for me long-term & changed my negative health habits & stats; energy levels to positive ones very easily, quickly & significantly.
(Lowered blood sugar range to 80-90; dropped 50 Lbs & no longer in pre-diabetes danger - all issues gone within 1 year. There were also nice changes in my vision abilities; hair & skin appearance.)
Hi Monkeybusiness,
Thank you for sharing your journey! It's amazing to hear how Keto & IF helped you regain control and improve your health. Keep up the great work, and we're glad to hear you're feeling good again, including your knee! 🙌
@@epmanualphysicaltherapy Thank you! And subbed. Appreciate your knowledge re PT. 😊
I love Dr. Mercola! What helped my OA was becoming vegan. Once I did that the pain in my hands and knees almost disappeared completely. Not for everyone, but it works! Juicing celery also cuts pain tremendously (medical medium Anthony William).
Hey Sylvie!!! Yes cutting out certain foods can sometimes make a big difference!!! Each person has to find out what works best for them. Not one diet works for everyone.
As with me, my hands became stiffer and stiffer, but after I went vegan, everything was gone. Now I'm going to leave out the sugar, because unfortunately I like to eat sweet
You are very right Dr.David now I will try my best to cut my carbs and sugar..Thanks!
Great Edith!!!! Let us know how it goes.
I am doing so much better working hard on plant based eating. It's not perfect, but it's helping the inflammation to go down.
THIS ‼️💚💚💚🌱
💯 percent true and absolutely right,, avoiding much carbs, and sugars, having more greens vegetables and proteins ,,early dinner, following up with all the exercises shown in your videos ,I'm feeling soo much better,n pain-free , TQ Dr ,just diagnosed with onset of oestoarthitis 6 months ago,but I'm feeling better with keto and stretches..TQTQ.🌟🎊🌹
Thanks so much God bless you very healthful informations
Hiya there have just found this site and it's a goodie. Thank you! Just working on how to walk properly using my butt muscles. Takes a lot of concentration.
Wanted to ask your thoughts on hyaluronic acid injection into the knees for better lubrication within the knee. Is there a good success rate for this procedure? Your comments would be interesting?
Thankyou🙏
Just eliminating processed foods is going to have a positive effect!
Very true Linda! Definitely a good idea to cut processed foods out!
Wow! 100% agree. Low carbs high fat medium protein was and is my medicine. Using ketones for energy is absolutely the best. I eliminated 95% of my knee pain with going carnivore. For 2 years and a half. This is true. I can walk again. Thank you for going this way. IF and keto/carnivore! 👍
I don’t think you need to eat meat eg be carnivorous to succeed. Lowering unhealthy processed foods in general is the key imo. Starches such as rice and potatoes are much healthier and are not inflammatory. No one eating enough calories has to worry about protein regardless if they are starch or meat etc.
I found my sweet spot in carnivore and l'm staying right there. I absolutely love it. With every step l take. I don't feel l have to do anything. This is life for me! ❤️ 🍖 🥓 🥚+ High fat!

I am beginning to think that not one size fits all.
I find rice extremely inflammatory. Potatoes mildly inflammatory. Also a grain free diet had me 100% pain free in 8 days. High fat works for me. Rice makes my joints hurt. My MD suggested no legumes as well. It was working well. Then the joint pain returned. I found I was eating too many omega six fatty acids. (Too many nuts).🌄
I think you have to do a real elimination diet before you attribute symptoms to very benign foods like rice and potatoes and use a drastic diet like carnivore to heal your symptoms. As you said too many nuts may have been part of the problem. Even they are probably not the real problem which is why a proper elimination diet is important. Dr. John McDougall has one for free on his website.
I've been doing OMAD for several months lost 20 LBS and my knee and hip pain has reduced for sure.
Calorie deficit
@@jerrythomas4457 but I'm eating more calories?
Watch Dr. Mindy Peltz as she offers daily videos on benefits of IF. She is fabulous. Interviews great doctors and those that research IF. Lowering inflammation is one of her focuses for overall health.
Just ran across this video, although I subscribed a while back. 60, overweight. But 4 1/2 months ago, I began intermintent fasting. (12/12 and 16/8) 6 days a w week. I also cut out the breads, pastas etc.. increased fresh fruits/veggies. Haven't weighed, but have lost 6" or more in the waist.
I was already doing many of your exercises and seeing some results. Since the weight loss and daily exercise, my knee pain has almost gone, and the right knee is bone on bone.
I had to cut back on the fasting due to time conflicts with work, beginning in September. Still doing an 11 hour fast overnight, wake up at 4am, doing light cardio by 4:30 while still fasting. Then doing 20-40 minutes of exercise in the evening, totaling about 5 hours per week. I don't work my quads or hams, but do my glutes and calves. I use the heavy bag daily, and am getting my kicks back (former Black Belt competitor).
I was probably going into keto in the first couple of months due to diet and fasting. In the past few months my diet has been poorer than before. This video has convinced me to not cheat as much ! lol Thanks !
Never experienced keto flu. I follow a keto diet and eat twice a day, and i swim ( breaststroke, low impact, glute exercises), this has helped with weight loss and hypertension but unfortunately, I still have knee/leg issues. I am NOT giving up. Still working on zero snacking and no food three hours before bed time. I am also going to try cold therapy. Cold bath for my legs. will see...
Hi not sure if this is helpful but my orthopaedic Consultant advises definitely no breast stroke leg action for my knee arthritis and to stick to straight legs when swimming or water walking resistance up and down the pool is good too. Good advice for me as I was often very uncomfortable after my swimming sessions I only did the breast stroke, then changed and experienced much less discomfort. Good luck to you, maybe I should consider a move from my wee cold Scotland to somewhere warm! That might help my OA too but think I’d miss it 🥰🏴🇬🇧
HI Dr. Thank you for sharing this idea of intermittent fasting. I recommend reading "Fast like a girl" by Dr. Mindy Pelz. Although the book is focused on fasting and the health of our hormones, her research DOES teach us the impacts on healing our bodies by understanding the timing of fasting for individual issues.
Sugar is a second rate food and a first rate poison. ❤❤❤
Health advice has become a Tower of Babel.Thanks Internet!

Anyone can put out a video...and too many people do. So many don't know what they are talking about and give advice without really knowing what they are talking about or doing. It is seen with everything: health, music, art, cooking, religion, money...you name it. I wish people would at least stick to posting with honesty and facts behind what they share.
My knee arthroscopic problem so what can I do doctor say me is only way to surgery
Hello my name is Diogo and I'm from Portugal.
I play football and last year (2022) I trained as usual, but after a training session it started to hurt behind my knee (I don't know if it was a bad move or a blow).
Currently I can't pull my knee back much, because after a certain point I start to feel pain behind the knee, then when I stretch it it seems that it also hurts in front of the knee.
I've already had an MRI, ultrasound, physical therapy and the pain continues.
Think you know what it could be?
Excellent videos.... so appreciate your style... content..
worst case losing weight should be good for joints regardless. It also is just a much easier way to live in my opinion. Eating and thinking about eating take up too much of the day lol
Your focus on mechanical solutions are the best! I've always found that to be the best "cure." I have knee arthritis and I've been doing your recommended exercises--it is helping! Do you have any recommendations for SIRVA? My husband had a tetanus injection that was given too high and he's had shoulder aching and pain ever since.
Please advise which is the best way to loose weight when i one has done a knee surgery (endocopy)
First off on edit, your buttock strengthening has so improve my angry knees. Along with swinging my legs back and forth like a little kid, as you suggested before I get out of bed or if I’ve sat too long🎉🎉🎉
I do IF 5. Cut out sugar. Sometimes I eat gluten free bread. No sodas, juice drink, for two years. Black coffee, only 8 oz. No candy, or desserts. I do tolerate avocados. I have hashimotos. Came back to say I have never known any doc (70 yrs old) who knew nutrition. Just because they went to medical school does not make them legitimate sources. They might get a week to a month of nutrition training. I found better suggestions from folks who share my autoimmune disease. Good luck all. I so respect your channel and you!
I put a pillow between my legs to
Preventore painful sleep! Try it to see if it helps you! It keeps your back/hips into alignment!!
Walk backwards with a weighted sled.
I an done eating by 2 or 3 p.m. it's helping me keep my weight down.
Hey Debbie! So glad that is working for you!
You do not have to poke yourself to know where your ketones are.
I lost 80 lbs on Atkins and I tested my ketones every morning by peeing on a ketones test strip.
It was hugely helpful.for me to keep me in ketosis so I could loose weight.
Also it helped me learn what foods were bad for me to eat. Corn was bad for my weight loss.
That soooo neat that you lost 80 lbs on Atkins Paula!!! Thanks for letting us know about the ketones test strip!
I changed to carnivore. Changed my life. Knees like I'm in my 20's again. Also sinuses ears sleep better lost 10kg 20 pounds. Basically reduced inflammation and systemic yeast candida. Easy brilliant and I eat only when hungry usually once a day.
That’s very impressive, good job.
Be careful of Keto. The IF works on its own. A high protein diet tends to lead to your body pulling calcium from your bones to buffer your acidity. It gives you a blood test that makes it look like you have high calcium but au contraire . Lowering your refined sugar as in candy bars is good of course. You can still go into ketosis after eating say a vegan diet just by fasting. I am just cautioning against increasing in any way the already too high consumption of animal foods, primarily meat, in the Standard American Diet. It may be that the benefit comes from what you aren’t eating such as a bread, cookies, beer, French fries, fried chicken, hush puppies and all the other batter fried foods one avoids when avoiding sugar.
Keto is not about overeating protein. You need to eat the amount needed for your body size and the weight goals that you have. And maintaining weight you would probably eat less is my understanding. Either way, eating healthy with a low carb high fat diet really is the way to go. The medical community has it wrong.
I totally agree. I have done IF for 6 years and went plant based 13 months ago. I have gotten incredible benefits from the diet. Cleared up my sinus allergies, lost weight, decreased my hypothyroidism medication, lowered my cholesterol, my husband stopped getting kidney stones. These crazy people pushing keto are killing people. Dr Sarah Hallberg, who did a viral Ted talk on how keto is so awesome for diabetes, she herself died from cancer a few months ago at 51. Furthermore the real cause of diabetes type two is excess fat, not carbs. As long as you don’t add fat to whole grain carbs they are healthy. Keto is a dangerous diet.
B.S., the proof is in the pudding. I was diagnosed a Type2 diabetic and given a shoebox full of meds. After watching many dr.'s (Ken Berry, Fung, etc.) on UA-cam, I threw ALL of my meds in the trash and went from Keto to full Carnivore diet... NO CARBS. I completely reversed my Type2 (my A1c is 5.5 from 12) and I eat LOTS of red meat, fish, chicken, eggs, cheese and other dairy.
Vegan diets, although they make the hippies feel good about mother nature and help to impress your friends that you really care about the environment, are harmful... too many carbs!!
You wanna lose weight, reverse diabetes, feel a LOT better and eat savory delicious food? Stop eating carbs.
@@arlo2203I went plant based for my health but if it also helps the environment then even better. You are only putting a band aid on the problem. You have not cured your diabetes because as soon as you eat carbs your insulin spike will be out of control because your system is clogged up with fat. Eventually even the excess protein you eat will be converted to sugar and you will have problems. Plus all that excess protein and dairy is extremely carcinogenic. Dr Sarah Hallberg, was on keto for years, which probably led to her cancer. I am not the boss of you so you should not care about my stance if you are so confident with your choice. I will say that many diabetics, because of lack of blood flow probably, are not the sharpest at making diet choices so they fall for the baloney that these quack “doctors”put out. God bless you, I pray it works out.
@@wanda12411 again, the proof is in the pudding. how can you argue with facts?? if my "system was clogged with fat", certainly my blood pressure would indicate that. my blood pressure is perfect. and i did not say i "cured" my diabetes anymore than anyone taking pills or eating vegetables only... but i have reversed it and i'm well aware of the consequences of eating carbs... that's why I DON'T EAT CARBS.
you really should do more research into diabetes and keto/carnivore, going vegan is not the answer. i know because i've been doing it for over 10 years.
Can I do the Intermittent fasting While having graves disease? I will be 60 this year.
I have been IF for about 4yrs now by accident. But keto diet doesn't seem healthy. I tried it about 10yrs ago and it was just to hard to keep up with so...I'M GONNA PASS on that bit of info.
I wish you well, be blessed n continue to enjoy your journey. I'm so in awe as I listened to your story but I'm not understanding how this diagnosis was missed or overlooked, there's no test blood or urine that could have lead to this discovery?
this is in response to the story of the lady that had bladder cancer
I was 52 kg all my life….recently started to,snack before bed time around 12 or 1 am….I put 7 kg on.
I used to be 54kg before lockdown after I put on 7kg my knee pain came back and kept swelling just found out I have early arthritis and chrondomalecia. I am down to 59 kg I am going to get down to 54 kg again.
What is your take on cold therapy?
Autumn Bates is a nutritionist, Keto info and fitness. Dr Eric Berg is a chiropractor who now focuses on nutrition and Keto. Tho, he is heavy on vitamin supplementation for various ailments. Kristi Davis is a diabetic who lost a lot of weight before she found out she was diabetic one and is on keto but she is more relaxed about it. She likes her no sugar drinks and all that kind of thing which I think is not healthy to consume. Ketofocus strongly Keto and has lots of recipes.
I will not support Scientology so Dr Berg is out! I will not watch his videos as I know some of the advertising money goes to Scientology
Do you have a table for low-glycemic index foods?
Research it from someone that is totally knowledgeable with the subject.
I am from Algeria. Hello doctor. I would like to know if I can rid of my knee pain I have diagnosed knee arthritis. My knee also swollen. Please tell me what should I do naturally. Thank you doctor.
Hello Perveen....I will advice you juice celery .it treats arthritis.
My cholesterol dropped 30 points in 8 months after leaving KETO behind.
That's interesting, can you give over what you did?
Have done keto and intermittent fasting and it is hard . The window of time is hard. 16 hours is hard. 16/8 is recommended . So i end eating at 9pm and resume at 1 pm in the afternoon leaving me 8 hours to eat. So i use a online app to help me. I have been on keto as well doing it. Have done both vegan diet which i lost a lot more weight and faster and keto which is slower but it was better for my arthritis than vegan.
That’s interesting and I wonder why keto was better for your knee. Perhaps it corrected an underlying deficiency in some mineral or vitamin?
What online app did you use? Thanks!
@@ihartsacto he mentioned why . It is lower in carbs and your body doesn’t have an insulin response . I don’t like keto .
@@bobbiejz8526 Thank you. I understand the importance of a low insulin response. It seems to be the key to good health. I wish there were more discussion about the bodies insulin response to high protein.
You must work some odd hours to pick that window (9p-1a) to eat. My husband pick 11a-6p and lost 70lbs …it was hard first few wks to adjust but it became habit. I don’t think it needs to be hard, maybe adjust the window…too restrictive can be difficult.
Amigo pregunta I put splenda sugar in my coffee is that bad? Is hard not to eat arroz or tacos...I will try🥺
Yes, Splenda is bad. Try Stevia or Monk fruit powder. Better yet get used to it without sweetener.
thank you!
my left knee is bone on bone

Mercola is ok but don’t take his word 100%. I would look at Peter Attia. Just my opinion… I also do keto. I think everyone agrees with no sugar, fast when possible, don’t eat late. I do measure ketones with blood tests at home and on keto all my blood results from the doctor were sooo much better…I’ll say that! Oh as someone else here said, Ken Berry m.d. also for more of the biochemistry see ben bickman. I like our mr. El Paso. Glad I found him. Oh yes. Keto flu. You can get less of these symptoms if you go off carbs a little more slowly. I’ve done it for years because I sometimes go off keto. When i go back on more slowly, no keto flu symptoms
Good video. I guess I've been doing intermittent fasting and not realizing what it was. I have been not eating after 7pm every night. I have been doing this for the past 3years. I do exercise 4x out of the week. And I do have high cholesterol
. I have noticed that I do weigh less the following day. My problem is carbohydrates, and I know it. However I'm trying to eat in moderation.
Processed carbohydrates and too much meat are probably the culprits. You could easily give up meat and any processed foods for a month and see how much weight you lose. Surprisingly adding starches such as rice or potatoes cause weight loss. There is a lot of concern about gluten so I would forego bread and oatmeal etc. just to ensure optimal results.
@@ihartsacto I don't know about giving up meat for a month. I'm too much of an carnivore!! 😊
I can do the other things you suggested.
@@cleokendall2816 I think three times a week might finesse it for you and there are several doctors who actually recommend that and one is that cardiologist who has the long ads. I know diet change is difficult. I am vegan /vegetarian but sometimes Popeyes calls my name and there I go for some butterfly shrimp which is also deep fried!
Stopped eating after 6.30 at night years ago to stop my acid reflux. It worked like a charm. Unfortunately the keto diet is one I cannot tolerate at all. I now eat mostly fruit and veg, eggs and fish, occasionally a little meat. I believe a little of what you fancy works best. I'm not overweight, so not looking to lose weight, but do have generalized arthritis. It began in my late 40s in my spine, and now 35 years later It's pretty much everywhere. Worst places are my left ankle and foot, right knee and hip and my left arm from the shoulder down into the fingers. I don't use a cane or walker, but have to limit my walking. I swim for fun, which is pretty painless, but I do periodically need pretty heavy pain medication if the nerves leading from my spine become compressed. I'm pretty functional, but very slow. I'm always up for trying other ways of dealing with things, but I'm starting now to think I'm probably doing as well as possible for my own circumstances.
So, interesting ideas, but nothing for me.
I was a vegetarian for 10 years (totally vegan for over a year). I started to genuinely feel the need for meat protein and when I switched my diet to meats and low carb veg, I felt better right away!!. I think the body responds well to dramatic dietary change on a regular basis.
Sugar causes pain!!!
Watch Dr Berg for IF and ketone. He has hundreds of videos on it, uses all the old medical books.
IA 100% agree doctor Burke is the way to go you can type in any element Next to his name and he will help you figure it out I lost 50 pounds and alleviated knee and hip pain To where it disappeared
