White Okay ua-cam.com/users/postUgkx6K7NWahp9y3ir1gVAwysOCHOOPSnWZbw . I got it from my browser's history. I know that it's really frustrating to be over-weighted but all is possible with a strong determination. Good luck…..
When you eat refined carbs junk food .you will eat more often because your body is still craving nutrition that it can't get from junk food .when you eat complex carbs healthy carbs like protein and vegetables your body is getting the nutrition it needs. You will stay full longer and feel better and will be healthy.

The “you’re burning carbs” signs are: 1. How your brain feels… foggy. Over the long term. Insulin level is making cognitive function decrease… long-term 2. You feel sleepy… bc of Orexin 3. You’re hungry more frequently 4. You have less brute, quick strength. (You burn through your reserves faster.) AD - Lumen metabolic tracker measures CO2 in exhale, and calculates fat burn *** I think I want this! Maybe I’m a sucker but I think it might be worth a try*** 5. You feel sleepy… because of tryptophan
Thus is an area that I think people on keto bounce around with in their daily lives. . I find myself very weak some times and have to eat fats and proteins to get energy. I can relate to the cognitive brain activity when I know I'm running on ketones . It's definitely clearer thinking . I even take mct oil sometimes when I want this focus .
Thirst and urination can be caused by many things. I constantly see posts from people doing keto or carnivore diet discussing high levels of thirst and urination. There are multiple studies suggesting that high-fat diet can increase insulin resistance. Wouldn’t it make more sense to include carbohydrates to assist with hydration?
@@maalikfazal1406 well basically the most helpful is eating foods that he suggested eating when your working and can't prepare good meals so things like cutting sugar eating very low carb things like pork rinds and tuna like the tuna creations packets eating quest products eating more veggies and if you eat fast food take out the carbs and eat more protein and weight loss has become a daily routine most of the time it's a half pound a week sometimes more sometimes less but as long as it's constant I keep feeling better and better
Thomas, been on the Lumen for about three weeks now and getting a flex score of 11.5.. I like it, however when I am in fat burn (#1) I noticed that it does not coincide with my ketone levels. Its rare for me to get anything over .03 mmoL ketone levels, yet I am in fat burn according to this device... perhaps you can shed some light on that?
If your body is fat adapted and therefore burning ketones, you are going to get a lower concentration than when your body is producing but can't consume them.
Just got back my 6 month blood labs and was disappointing in some things one my uric acid was high, 8.1 and my urea nitrogen bun was high 20 snd my bun creatine was high 21.9 both indicate impaired kidney function probably all high because my high protein diet. Still have low vit D and folate eating greens and walking without a shirt in the sun 3-4 days a week. The good news im no longer pre diabetic was hoping for an A1C that more closely matched my meter average around 90 but it was 5.4. My c peptide was good at 2.1 snd my HDL/Trig ratio 131/59 was 2.2, c reactive protein 0.5. So no eating mostly or only meat is not a miracle diet and i would recommend if you are reading this get your labs done and watch your kidney function and uric acid.
Quite revealing there! That sounds like the meat only or carnivore diet may help with bringing ones A1C numbers down, but obviously not good for the kidney
@@dragonsamurai6958 i do 3 days a week at gym 1.25 hr circuit training non stop. 3 sets of 10 reps complete upper body machines and push ups, dips, pull ups and 3 sets of inclined treadmill walk run interval's. Walk/run 3-4 days a week 2.75 miles. I eat a steak and a salmon fillet everyday typically.
@@GregariousAntithesis ohh I see. It's sounds to me like u get a reasonable amount of protein for that much activity. That's strange how u have kidney failure from that. Are there any other possible reasons why u have kidney failure? Like too much sodium not enough potassium, or any other reasons?
How is it best to time eating if running on carbs? For example, if I eat a punnet of strawberries and immediately go for a bike ride, is that beneficial as I burn it off before my insulin is spiked too much?
Thomas, in terms of metabolic flexibility and carb cycling, I am curious to hear about your research into what is called the Randle Cycle. I’ve heard people say that any amount of high carb and fat will activate it. In this case, what would one do your typical meals look like when carb cycling sicne you say to cut back on the fat?
I just had a piece of sourdough toast with sunflower butter and blueberry preserves with a banana. Just a little preworkout snack but I'm hungrier then before I ate it and my stomach is making crazy noises.
Hello and thank you for reading this but I had watched your video on Magnesium and I thank you for this but may I ask what form of Magnesium should I start with or does it matter the only Magnesium I see is the Citrate but you have mentioned maleate and I do not know which is best, thank you again Erin
Thomas, huge fan of yours. I suspect you wouldn't be fan of "meal replacements", but for many diferent reasons I'm trying to replace the lunch by one of this shakes, I have a crazy busy life as well as my wife and I would like to preserve a helthy wait and not to get sick in the process, is there any "meal replacement" you would give thumbs up?
That’s interesting Thomas I went to Doctors last wk she said I was severely dehydrated?? I said I don’t understand I’m drinking 2litres of water plus Green Teas. Just started fasting & sampling Keto . I’m also getting over Covid of last 2wks.
So far I am not impressed with the Lumen. I've been doing the breath tests every morning along side checking my blood sugar with the Mojo Glucose Meter and they are not in sync. Lumen readings are consistently giving me a 4-burning carbs but meanwhile my blood glucose readings are in the 70's. I've been following a keto diet for over 10 years so I know what raises blood sugar. How is this possible? I need to chat with the customer service.
I can't sleep on a keto diet, effects my workout motivation. Even a little carbs at night doesn't help. Getting 4-5 hrs sleep a night and not lossing weight OR feeling clear after 8 weeks on keto diet.
what if I eat a lot of meat and vegetables but still feel hungry a lot? I keep my carbs at about 50 grams per day right now in preparation of doing the carnivore diet next month. I feel like I'm always hungry no matter what I eat.
I knew right off on my 4th 24 hour fast.. I wasn't hungry at all......even towards hour 18...19....was doing good...when I ate I still wasn't very hungry. Just a bit..but not eating enough fats....and protein you're going to know because about on hour 17...your a little bit hungry..I a keto fat powder drink...couple times....its very satisfying.....
I've been stuck in pre-diabetes for years. My fasting blood work gets checked every 6 months. I'm 51 and both my parents are Type 2. I've cut out all funky sugars and use either monk fruit or allulose. I rarely eat high glycemic foods. My doctor is wanting me to go on Metformin but I refuse. What can I do to get into a healthy A1C level and stay there? Thanks 😊
I did this with extreme Keto "Sub 15 gram carb per day, one meal a day, intermittent fasting 22 hours per day. Constantly monitor blood glucose "6-8 tests a day"and adjust your meds to lower levels as your readings allow. In 3 weeks I was off all meds except for a single metformin every morning for a yes then quit that. Currently my Fasting blood glucose readings are sub 80 . I also lost 100 lbs in the process. I have been Glucose NORMAL for over 2 years now.at 63 years young The big thing to watch out for is LOW blood glucose due to too much medication. This is a very tricky and complex change in your system and I recommend being supervised by a doctor. Dr.Steve Phinney is a major pioneer of keto and started Virta Health in Georgia to do exactly what you want to do with 24/7 remote monitoring through a App on your phone with a doctor.
Exercise more, any way you can - resistance training, aerobic, even walking - it will all help. Break the carb cycle by going relatively long periods without carbs or even food at all. Fasting for a full day or even multiple isn't as hard as it initially seems - hunger will come in waves that will subside - you will not keep getting more and more hungry unless you're actually starving - which is a point most of us will never be remotely close to. Avoid extra large meals, especially combined with alcohol or caffeine. Go for a walk after eating. Eat fewer carbs in general. Metformin is not necessarily a bad drug either - many people now take it who have no problem with blood sugar just for the longevity and all cause mortality benefits. A continuous glucose monitor would be the best way to identify exactly which foods, food pairings, and lifestyle activities end up spiking your blood sugar - the effects are often very different from person to person. Unfortunately these are still fairly expensive, but I hope that someday soon they will be as accessible as a smart watch/activity tracker is now.
Would be nice to be able to exhale and know if I am burning fat- but no way I am signing up for a subscription to do so. I just want a tool- not all the fluff they are packaging with it.
I have a high analyse enzyme, with insulin resistance, low thyroxine levels (genetic). I have normal tryglyceride levels but low Adiponectin levels ...and very low T from genetics (2% people have this genome to be born low, dominant trait ) any help or tips for diet and foods ? Keto ? Fasting ? I'm feel lost as trying to balance one hurts the other .. . Is there SARMs/steroids/etc I shouldn't do based on this fact ? Saying I shouldn't do them in general isn't giving me safe info J's . Is there ones that would aid me ? Life has been a struggle with these issues adding ADHD to the mix I'm a pretty set for life LMAO . Would love some help .
Flawed: comparing no calory drink to a calories drink. It's well known that when GI pushes nutrients into the bloodstream, or during digestion, concentration saps. They should have compared MCT oil to soda.
Heya. I know I can research this, but research (I’ve found) is not as helpful as experience when it comes to keto, not including the science behind it all. 3rd week in to 20g keto (with a partner). Dropped 9 lbs in first two weeks but have stayed at exact same weight last week. 199.8 to 190.2. Started IF twice a week this week (20-4) using broth as intro and including it as dinner. We may not be tracking as much as we should but I definitely never hit above 20g and she doesn’t go above 30 (I was already GF for 11 years and this really felt like a natural transition for me, but not her). I am including cardio in the afternoon 3 days a week and lifting 2 days a week. Is it natural to hit a plateau at the beginning? I did a double IF mon/tues with limited results. Again no hunger or discomfort. Just not sure if I’m sabotaging or something. My sister introduced us to electrolyte powder so I drink that once a day when eating normally and twice when fasting. This community seems helpful. Advice welcome. Edit: don’t hesitate to say I’m impatient. I know. Been a trail runner all my life. 39 now and gained 25 lbs in past 5 years working mostly stationary jobs. Felt like water weight came off super easy. Not complaining, just curious if I should step it up or keep steady.
40 year veteran here. Keto is not a weight loss program, weight loss is a byproduct of consuming a proper human diet. You are doing great, just calm down. You will experience "stalls" because that is how the body adjusts to the changes. Don't weigh yourself every day, focus on eliminating "keto products", eating enough fat and hearing what your body may be telling you regarding electrolyte levels given your exercise regimen. One follow-up, is there some reason why you categorize those nitro levels as "high", they are within the norm according to the printout?
I wish this guy would make a distinction between carbs coming from greens, fruits, and vegetables versus the types of carbs used in that study (soda), there has to be a distinction made, you can't just use the blanket term carbs when there are clear differences in the types of carbs! maybe he didn't realize prior to making the video but he has to draw a distinction
Good point . I've often thought about mentioning this . Im sure Thomas means higher carbs .. example . Pasta . Rice .potatoes. higher carb veggies . He trains his body excellently. A perfectionist for fitness . He knows his stuff . One of the best people to follow if you want good health and well being advice.
This video kinda makes me sad, the golden age of UA-cam is over. We had a relatively brief window of amazing, independent content made by those most passionate and usually well informed - an amazing departure from traditional media that basically required corporate backing and approval. I don't really blame Thomas, but this video, like many others from quality UA-camrs, is an elaborate commercial - one that would never have been created without the sponsorship. That's not to say it's a bad video, and definitely not to say it's not full of interesting and factual information that could definitely help people - and yet... the golden age of UA-cam is over.
I get that too with loads of Brilliant ads and so on in my favourite YT videos, but the thing is, everybody has to eat and noone makes videos of quality without hard work put into them. And that means that either you burn out / lose your family or you quit your day job and do YT for money and that requires money. So ads and sponsors are neccesary.
@T M I'll definitely admit the algorithm is also to blame. My issue isn't the sponsored parts, but this whole video was conceived and crafted to fit in to the sponsorship. No shade on Thomas, he's does a great job of researching and presenting valuable information. However his real job now is a balance of maintaining his own image, generating views, and tying those views in to sponsorship deals - a difficult job that he excels at for sure - and one that often, but not always, overlaps with concise, top quality content.
@@barath4545 Not arguing for one minute that Thomas is making the wrong choices. Just lamenting the passing of a simpler time. It's not all bad, the new incentives created by the possible income streams from online content creation will and has already lead to some amazing new content that would never have existed otherwise. However there is also an alarming rise in not so amazing content that checks all the boxes to get views and sponsorships, but ultimately lacks substance and purpose.
I’m a follower and normally I get it- there r ads and u need sponsors. But this was a bit much for me- seemed a bit too much this time- took a lot of time away from the video. Amd on top of that were other ads- geesh, i was constantly having to forward through all of the ads so a bit disappointing in that regard
Thomas, can you do a video about the optimal time to switch from a keto, low carb approach, back to a carb burning cycle? For instance, been doing keto for 4 months and I'm planning on switching after 6 months.
he's videoing from the balcony of one of his 10 mansions that he bought with the sponsorship money from thrive market and frigging magic spoon cereal ..............
Lots of great videos, thank you. I'm grateful to UA-cam for having closed captioning and reduced playback speed options, so much good info so very fast!
12:30 It's been determined that the sleepy feeling after Thanksgiving Day dinner is due to having eaten a lot of food. Tryptophan has nothing to do with it. THIS is why you don't get medical advice off of UA-cam.
Yeah, i agree because looking at the mechanistic data you'll only expect to see the difference at night, but in the short term there should be no difference because tryptophan dosen't instantly turn into serotonin and then into melatonin to make you sleppy.
This video sponsored by yet another ridiculously expensive gadget that is subscription based. Must be rough not having to pay for all of those devices. If we all bought this Lumen, a CGM, and a few of the other subscription services like Thrive and Butcher Box, I can't imagine what that monthly bill would be. Yikes.
"4:00" - "it's not to say one is better than the other" (fat burning vs carb burning). Tom, in your efforts to be impartial, you're misleading. If feeling wakeful and having better cognitive functioning are not "better" than i don't know what is. EDIT: you even undermined the carb feel good factor by highlighting that emotional stability goes out of the window on carbs EDIT II: i'm running on carbs right now; no wakefulness, with irritability, and wanting angel cake
Well it's better if you're triyng to go for a nap after you eat. This biphasic sleep where u sleep at 1-4PM and then at 12PM-1AM could be a use for carbs. NOTE: for me dosen't really work, even if i just sleep 4 hours i'm better of going to sleep earlier like at 10PM instead of 12. And later in the video he does mention that for short high intensity exercise glucose is better so you ethier didin't watch the whole video or you took him out of context on purpose.
@@loganwolv3393 "he does mention that for short high intensity exercise glucose is better" - ye for 0.01% of the time and then only if you do HIIT. Even after that, you need to get back to into ketosis to deal with soft tissue repair and inflammation. One of my best workouts ever was at the 48h mark of a water fast, so the only people that would NEED that extra pep from carbs are professional athletes in exclusively explosive events that last under a minute or 2. It's incredibly niche advice. EDIT: my point is, Tom doesn't need to try to sound impartial, since his delivery of the facts is impartiality manifest. It feels like he's placating, and he doesn't need to. Rant over
We just wish he would explain and divulge his steroid combo. Hey could get lots of new sponsorship from compounding pharmacies. When he gets honest I’ll take him seriously.

Thanks Thomas!
TLDR summary for others:
#1 How Your Brain Feels: Carbs - Spatial Memory Reduced & Insulin Resistance (Oxidative Stress)
#2 Orexin: Hormone Promoting Wakefulness (Inhibited Neurons)
#3 Hunger: Carbs - More Hungry | Fats - More Satiated
#4 Responding To Exercise: Carbs - Brute/Quick Strength | Fats - Longer Energy/Oxygenation
#5 Feeling Relaxed or Sleepy: Carbs - Energy Using Amino Acids | Fats - Less Susceptible To Energy Depravity
BONUS: Thirsty & Urinate Frequency: Insulin Resistance; Glucose Generates More Fluid Production
Symptoms of the 'Keto flu' during the grey-area transition period, should also be considered.

Life has been a struggle with these issues adding ADHD to the mix I'm a pretty set for life LMAO . Would love some help .
Clomid and HCG. Don’t take steroids.
Keto compliments fasting
High meat keto also helps with vitamin D, iron, protein and Testosterone deficiencies
Flawed: comparing no calory drink to a calories drink. It's well known that when GI pushes nutrients into the bloodstream, or during digestion, concentration saps. They should have compared MCT oil to soda.
Heya. I know I can research this, but research (I’ve found) is not as helpful as experience when it comes to keto, not including the science behind it all. 3rd week in to 20g keto (with a partner). Dropped 9 lbs in first two weeks but have stayed at exact same weight last week. 199.8 to 190.2. Started IF twice a week this week (20-4) using broth as intro and including it as dinner. We may not be tracking as much as we should but I definitely never hit above 20g and she doesn’t go above 30 (I was already GF for 11 years and this really felt like a natural transition for me, but not her). I am including cardio in the afternoon 3 days a week and lifting 2 days a week. Is it natural to hit a plateau at the beginning? I did a double IF mon/tues with limited results. Again no hunger or discomfort. Just not sure if I’m sabotaging or something. My sister introduced us to electrolyte powder so I drink that once a day when eating normally and twice when fasting. This community seems helpful. Advice welcome.
Edit: don’t hesitate to say I’m impatient. I know. Been a trail runner all my life. 39 now and gained 25 lbs in past 5 years working mostly stationary jobs. Felt like water weight came off super easy. Not complaining, just curious if I should step it up or keep steady.
40 year veteran here. Keto is not a weight loss program, weight loss is a byproduct of consuming a proper human diet. You are doing great, just calm down. You will experience "stalls" because that is how the body adjusts to the changes. Don't weigh yourself every day, focus on eliminating "keto products", eating enough fat and hearing what your body may be telling you regarding electrolyte levels given your exercise regimen. One follow-up, is there some reason why you categorize those nitro levels as "high", they are within the norm according to the printout?

I wish this guy would make a distinction between carbs coming from greens, fruits, and vegetables versus the types of carbs used in that study (soda), there has to be a distinction made, you can't just use the blanket term carbs when there are clear differences in the types of carbs! maybe he didn't realize prior to making the video but he has to draw a distinction
Good point . I've often thought about mentioning this . Im sure Thomas means higher carbs .. example . Pasta . Rice .potatoes. higher carb veggies . He trains his body excellently. A perfectionist for fitness . He knows his stuff . One of the best people to follow if you want good health and well being advice.
I agree, he should be talking about complex carbs vs simple carbs.
He did . He said refined carbs that's junk food .he then said complex carbs that the healthy carbs vegetables and fruits. Listen to the video again.
@@statewidefilms he said refined and complex carbs..
@@beergaming2167 he did
Why did god make food so complicated
People think bag of chips box of donuts n liter of soda 🥤 is carbs
Is he in Pandora?
This video kinda makes me sad, the golden age of UA-cam is over. We had a relatively brief window of amazing, independent content made by those most passionate and usually well informed - an amazing departure from traditional media that basically required corporate backing and approval. I don't really blame Thomas, but this video, like many others from quality UA-camrs, is an elaborate commercial - one that would never have been created without the sponsorship. That's not to say it's a bad video, and definitely not to say it's not full of interesting and factual information that could definitely help people - and yet... the golden age of UA-cam is over.
I get that too with loads of Brilliant ads and so on in my favourite YT videos, but the thing is, everybody has to eat and noone makes videos of quality without hard work put into them.
And that means that either you burn out / lose your family or you quit your day job and do YT for money and that requires money.
So ads and sponsors are neccesary.
@T M I'll definitely admit the algorithm is also to blame. My issue isn't the sponsored parts, but this whole video was conceived and crafted to fit in to the sponsorship. No shade on Thomas, he's does a great job of researching and presenting valuable information. However his real job now is a balance of maintaining his own image, generating views, and tying those views in to sponsorship deals - a difficult job that he excels at for sure - and one that often, but not always, overlaps with concise, top quality content.
@@barath4545 Not arguing for one minute that Thomas is making the wrong choices. Just lamenting the passing of a simpler time. It's not all bad, the new incentives created by the possible income streams from online content creation will and has already lead to some amazing new content that would never have existed otherwise. However there is also an alarming rise in not so amazing content that checks all the boxes to get views and sponsorships, but ultimately lacks substance and purpose.
Sweet!
I’m a follower and normally I get it- there r ads and u need sponsors. But this was a bit much for me- seemed a bit too much this time- took a lot of time away from the video. Amd on top of that were other ads- geesh, i was constantly having to forward through all of the ads so a bit disappointing in that regard
If I'm not consuming carbs I'd assume I'm utilizing fat/muscle?
Most likely fat. Keto is supposed to be leucine sparing so it doesn’t destroy muscle
Thomas, can you do a video about the optimal time to switch from a keto, low carb approach, back to a carb burning cycle?
For instance, been doing keto for 4 months and I'm planning on switching after 6 months.
Love your content, but damn its annoying with all those sales tactics🤥
Hey Keto-ers, are you doing a cheat meal on Easter?
he's videoing from the balcony of one of his 10 mansions that he bought with the sponsorship money from thrive market and frigging magic spoon cereal ..............
Thank you!! 😊
Lots of great videos, thank you. I'm grateful to UA-cam for having closed captioning and reduced playback speed options, so much good info so very fast!
12:30 It's been determined that the sleepy feeling after Thanksgiving Day dinner is due to having eaten a lot of food. Tryptophan has nothing to do with it. THIS is why you don't get medical advice off of UA-cam.
Yeah, i agree because looking at the mechanistic data you'll only expect to see the difference at night, but in the short term there should be no difference because tryptophan dosen't instantly turn into serotonin and then into melatonin to make you sleppy.
This video sponsored by yet another ridiculously expensive gadget that is subscription based. Must be rough not having to pay for all of those devices. If we all bought this Lumen, a CGM, and a few of the other subscription services like Thrive and Butcher Box, I can't imagine what that monthly bill would be. Yikes.
"4:00" - "it's not to say one is better than the other" (fat burning vs carb burning). Tom, in your efforts to be impartial, you're misleading. If feeling wakeful and having better cognitive functioning are not "better" than i don't know what is.
EDIT: you even undermined the carb feel good factor by highlighting that emotional stability goes out of the window on carbs
EDIT II: i'm running on carbs right now; no wakefulness, with irritability, and wanting angel cake
He's taking into consideration sleeping cycles and whatever other times you might want to be calm and relaxed, he literally mentioned it
Well it's better if you're triyng to go for a nap after you eat. This biphasic sleep where u sleep at 1-4PM and then at 12PM-1AM could be a use for carbs. NOTE: for me dosen't really work, even if i just sleep 4 hours i'm better of going to sleep earlier like at 10PM instead of 12. And later in the video he does mention that for short high intensity exercise glucose is better so you ethier didin't watch the whole video or you took him out of context on purpose.
@@loganwolv3393 "he does mention that for short high intensity exercise glucose is better"
- ye for 0.01% of the time and then only if you do HIIT. Even after that, you need to get back to into ketosis to deal with soft tissue repair and inflammation. One of my best workouts ever was at the 48h mark of a water fast, so the only people that would NEED that extra pep from carbs are professional athletes in exclusively explosive events that last under a minute or 2. It's incredibly niche advice.
EDIT: my point is, Tom doesn't need to try to sound impartial, since his delivery of the facts is impartiality manifest. It feels like he's placating, and he doesn't need to. Rant over
Easy: what did you feed your body last?
We just wish he would explain and divulge his steroid combo. Hey could get lots of new sponsorship from compounding pharmacies. When he gets honest I’ll take him seriously.
I always thought and heard that carbs are good for our body? With those healthy carbs
The “Lumen” device Thomas is promoting has a 1.7 out of 5 rating on Amazon 🤔
lol this guy again walking in circles
Made perfect sense to me. Maybe you are just struggling to grasp some things...
First ?!? Lol
