Is not about weight loss...is about feeling amazing on keto carnivore,brain sharpness,calm mind,recovery after gym !
Of course. That is why we have promoted and eating keto/carnivore diets for over 20 years. But for many obese people, weight loss should also be a goal.
Very true 🙌 But the truth is many people want and need to lose weight too.
And inflammation is gone!
I did keto and carnivore. I feel way better with healthy carbs and haven't gained a pound.
Which I do not feel because electrolytes are always fucked up.
I don’t know or care what caused me to get fat and have health problems associated with inflammation. But i do know and care about how i cured it - getting off all medications, quitting caffeine (which messed up my sleep) and going all-natural and keto, mostly fish at first, and then adding grass fed beef, farmer’s market dairy and homemade fermented vegetables. Lost 35 lbs in 7 months without any extra exercise (but i do a lot of walking and always have). Lots of omega 3 from fish.
So proud of you!
I am know longer insulin resistant. thank you carnivore.
💪
Did you have weight to loose ???
@@joanneclark8256 I lost 10 lbs but 4 Dress sizes. I cary weight in my belly, I would like to lose 10 more. I am also off 7 Prescription meds. sleep apnea is gone, as well as allergies, for which i had my Tonsils adenoids and uvula removed when I was 10 and a nose job at 50. in so glad to be able to breath.
@@joanneclark8256 I lost 20 lbs if I hadn’t lost a thing I would still be on the diet. So many things are healing. The color is coming back in my hair, which is just crazy I am a retired cosmetologist. I don’t have one split end. We were never taught nutrition could heal split ends.
@@nataliegist2014 Yes, we have seen tons of amazing improvements like this:
mariamindbodyhealth.com/success-stories/
I did so many different tests and trials with my insulin. I performed this one specific basic test about 5 times. I lost weight when I stopped insulin, immediately lost. I gained weight when I started taking it again. I changed nothing in my diet while doing this specific test. I was gaining almost 1 pound a day taking my insulin. I was losing 1-1.5 pounds a day almost immediately after stopping it. I also started getting lower blood sugar readings by the second week of not taking it. Lower than when I was actually taking the insulin. Right after an injection, my blood sugar would spike pretty high, then it would drop only a couple points lower than before I took it. I have also been on several different types. I used to do keto and it worked for a short period, then stopped working. I have been carnivore for awhile now and its the best thing I could have ever done. I just wish I knew about it in my younger years.
I am hoping to reach others and give inspiration with my youtube channel.
Yes, I explain this in the presentation. When taking insulin externally, you can definitely manipulate how much is stored. That is what the Type 1 studies I show in the presentation say. But a normal functioning pancreas will not make these kinds of mistakes. It will always put out the right amount of insulin for the body's current needs. What you describe is diabulimia and not recommended for anyone.
@@craigemmerich Thank you for explaining this. I hadnt heard this term before. I have pretty much been a lab rat for years for all the so called endocrinologists. Most are saying im type 2. I was diagnosed years ago as a type 1 and no one told me. My newest endo, says im not type 1. I have no idea anymore. I know that taking insulin makes me feel absolutely horrible. I wasnt dropping it just to lose weight, although that was a main factor. I am tired of being poisoned with it. Thank you!
Are you aware that while there is insulin in your blood, your body will not burn fat. The presence of Insulin in your blood will completely switch off fat burning...
@@convid1941 This is completely false. You always have insulin in your blood. If you didn't you would slowly die. (like a type 1 diabetic does if they don't take insulin). And as I show in this presentation, you can have fasting insulin of 30 or more (so insulin never goes below that level) and still burn body fat easily.
That might be possible because your body is dumping glucose into urine to get rid of it without your insulin. Because insulin is going to help store it when your glucose levels get high. It is a survival mechanism by the body to get rid of the excess glucose through urine. Many times the first symptoms a type one diabetic is extreme weight loss coupled with fatigue.
weight loss is about avoiding ultra processed food and the randle cycle. For anyone who don't know what the randle cycle is, it's literally excess amounts of fats and carbohydrates eaten together. Not a good idea. You either consume high fat, low carb. Or high carb, low fat. This is the best., most effortless way to achieve weightloss. And health. The problem is one of these diets makes it WAY harder to get optimal levels of nutrients. *cough* vegan diet, *cough*, *cough*
If you watch this presentation, I discuss the Randle cycle in it. :)
@@craigemmerich Yes, I already watched full presentation. It's well done.
Thank you for watching 🙏❤️
I've seen the randle cycle doesn't work with saturated fat and carbs
@@jberts3141 no that’s not true.
We eat way too much dough in north America. Especially dough made with round up ready and gluten enhanced wheat. Way too much sugar and fructose as well. And on top of too much dough and sugar, we also get too much fat. The majority are eating too much crap, and that is by design. Our choices are being limited by convenience, prices, a lack of knowledge, and ultimately addiction.
I had worsening health on a healthy higher carb standard diet, organic plant heavy with low fat meats fish and some eggs, Even mostly plant based for a while. After I switched to a ketogenic diet of low carb whole foods animal foods heavy moderate fat diet I started feeling better right away and now after 4 years I feel fantastic ! Im not in ketosis all the time but cycle in and out.
That's great! I have been keto for almost 20 years and don't cycle in and out. Same for Maria. It isn't needed but if it is working for you that's great!
Age 72 now, 4 years I went keto and easily lost weight but really too fast, losing muscle mass along with it. So a year ago I went carnivore and gained back some muscle but 10-15 pounds as well although my belt stayed on the same loop, so that weight gain was muscle. I just had my yearly physical and my BMI was at 26, almost obese which I think is nonsense because if I take of my shirt there is no way I look even close to being obese. But on carnivore I have been eating too much protein and if I'm not exercising enough for that increased amount it gets stored as fat. So I'm doing some tweaking.
In 1998, the U.S. National Institutes of Health brought U.S. definitions in line with World Health Organization guidelines, lowering the normal/overweight cut-off from a BMI of 27.8 (men) and 27.3 (women) to a BMI of 25. This was due to the advent of new weight loss drugs in the 1990s accelerated the medicalization of BMI.
As in sure you know BMI also does not take into account muscle.
That being said your BMI of 26 is well within range.
Over eating protein will not end up stored as fat when eating carnivore. That just doesn’t happen. Protein is used to build and repair lean mass. If great excess some will be turned into glucose but not fat. And you still need some glucose when eating carnivore. So turning dietary protein into glucose is good.
@@craigemmerich Sorry, but I reduced my protein intake from being very high for my exercise and I have lost weight so I'll go with what works for me. Although I've only been doing keto/carnivore for 4 years now I have learned that there are experts who have conflicting ideas on the same subject and all claim they have the proof to back it up so it's hard to know who to believe.
@@stevec3872 eating very high levels of protein probably meant more overall fat intake too. Reducing protein reduced fat and calories if eating similar foods. So that would make sense. :)
@@stevec3872 I wasn’t telling you to change anything. I was only commenting on the pathway to turn protein into body fat which isn’t really a thing in any practical sense.
You guys are on point again. As a body composition expert and bodybuilder, I approve! 😜💪🏼 Keep up the great work, voices of reason and logic!
Thank you! 😊
Thanks!
There are several randomized controlled trials that prove calorie deficit doesn't lead to weight loss in the long term.
Due to compliance. The biggest fail of any diet is lack of compliance long term. That is what is so powerful about this lifestyle. Easier to comply eating tasty foods and all the amazing recipes Maria makes. :)
Bc calories are units for heat measurement and totally unuitable to be used as a measurement unit in human diet.
@@hdv333 That is semantics. Use carbons in carbons out if you want. We always track in macros in grams per day. As Einstein said, "It followed from the special theory of relativity that mass and energy are both but different manifestations of the same thing". ATP and NADH are harder to quantify so calories are used as a proxy. But tracking macros in grams like we promote works either way.
What about the body's ability to adapt to calorie intake by slowing metabolism?
@@Locked_in_with_DaQueen yes, there can be some adaptions but the biggest metabolic adaptation comes from losing muscle. As long as you keep protein up and strength train or yoga, etc then it will be minimal.
the title of this video is misleading. unfortunately, clickbait culture has become so widespread that it is almost normalized. although it is normalized to that extent, it does not mean it is less dishonest, as it continues to punish critical thinkers and rewards those for whom sensationalism is soul food.
your video didn't reveal the 'experts' who believe insulin is to blame for obesity. no one disputes that keto and carnivore 'experts' exists, but the most intriguing part, which you have so eloquently avoided revealing, is who you consider to be 'experts' in those areas.
otherwise, the video deserves a much less clickbaity title, in order to stick in people's minds for longer, and, since it certainly provides highly valuable information.
just in case there is a risk of being misunderstood; this is a well-intentioned criticism, not a perfect opportunity to express toxicity and grumpiness towards my long-time favorite content creators.
I almost didn’t watch because of the title, where talking about lowering fasting insulin for example, would interest me. I know they get some views for the click bait titles, but you do have to wonder how many they lose.
@@azarialr6639 exactly! to some extent I understand the necessity to push low-quality content to the forefront, trying to get as many clicks as possible, but that's completely counterproductive in cases when it is high-quality content, which is the norm of this channel. the importance of lowering the fasting insulin level is far greater than what some 'experts' have an opinion about. after all, who needs an audience that is more susceptible to sensationalist headlines?
I don't think the title, "Why Insulin Didn't Make You Fat" is click bait in any way. I explain it in detail in the presentation. For the subtitle, we aren't in the business of naming names or calling people out by name.
@@craigemmerich I agree, the title 'Why Insulin Didn't Make You Fat' is not clickbaity in any way, especially not in the context of your excellent presentation. however, that's not the title of the video, nor is it the text on the thumbnail.
if anything like that. that is, the clickbaity title, is the consequence of your editors being overly enthusiastic, you might want to consider encouraging them to be a little more conservative in their creative expressions. otherwise, perceptions like mine, where it is obvious that it's not the only one, would be really challenging to avoid.
The more you lose weight the less calories you burn because you don't weigh as much. It takes more energy to move a larger body that is why it is easier for a 250 pound person to drop weight than a person like me weighing 124lbs . Then there is the percentage of muscle mass. The more muscle you have the more calleries you burn and the more insulin sensative you are. That is why exercising is so very important for naturally controlling insulin.
I have been eating a KETO lifestyle for 15+ years. I have lost 64 lbs. And kept it off over 12 years. I live with a 50 to 60% fat lifestyle
Great job! I have been keto/carnivore for over 18 years. :)
Congratulations! 🎉
but I can't _burn_ body fat until I get the insulin level lowered for an extended time.
You can burn body fat even if fasting insulin is very high. In many obese people their fasting insulin is higher all the time. And they can still lose body fat.
If you reduce carbs you stop displacing body fat from being burned. This results in fat loss. Not due to lower insulin.
@@craigemmerich What is the mechanism>?
@@jamesalles139 something called oxidative priority.
m.ua-cam.com/video/uJv0XLI59CA/v-deo.html
@@craigemmerich "In many obese people their fasting insulin is higher all the time" So they are fasting all the time? you aren't making any sense. If they are fasting, their insulin level _is lower_ than if not fasting. My statement was *I can't...*
@@jamesalles139 Fasting insulin is a test that measures how much insulin is in your blood when fasted or not after a meal. So morning blood insulin levels. So their insulin levels never go below that level. Only up from there when eating food.
But the whole point of this presentation is that it isn't your insulin levels that are stopping you from losing body fat. It is that you are eating too much energy (fat) to allow your body to burn more of its own stored fat. Lower dietary fat and then the body burns more body fat (which is fat loss).
No more irthritis pain,thanks carnivore! 😂
Awesome!!!
Many thousands (perhaps millions?) have been helped by a Keto diet. It works for the vast majority who try it. I personally have gone from obesity, high BS and high BP to excellent health and no medication.
If the theory above is correct (which I doubt) how will it help anyone? It's just a knock at some very well educated and vastly experienced doctors
We have been helping people lose weight and heal with ketogenic diets for over 20 years. They work because they keep you satiated on less calories without the added carbs. Here is just a small sample of the client results we get:
mariamindbodyhealth.com/success-stories/
They don't work because you added a bunch of fat, they work because you cut out the carbs and that controls hunger.
It works because it controls hunger not because it lowers insulin. I explain this all in the video. Please watch it all. :)
I lost over 100lbs on keto back in 2018 and have kept it all off by staying mostly low carb....
@@craigemmerichwhat makes me upset with all of you doctors is assuming that all we have to do is control hunger. I assure you there are many people who do not overeat and still have weight problems. Stop assuming we are glutinous. I don’t eat carbs, exercise, in caloric deficit and no weight loss. I’m diagnosed as hyperinsulinemic aka insulin resistance. It’s an uphill battle and you experts saying that we just have to control hunger is an insult.
@@sharonalicea7998 what is your height, age and macros?

If you put on bodyfat on Carnivore then you're eating too much and too often. OMAD is best for fat loss or 20:4 or 16:8 next best...
Not necessarily "wrong", just simplified. I've been working on a presentation just like this for friends and my coworkers. You did an awesome job putting the pieces of the puzzle together! I know it can take a bit to get them to fit and flow for a presentation. Great job and thank you!
Thanks!
Super informative! I followed the high fat carnivore drs when I tried it for 4 months. I went wild eating loads of butter, I was actually at a health weight of 60 kg 5’7, I gained 4 kg in 4 month. Then I luckily found you guys video on too much fat, after 1 year and lots of work out and walking, I’m now back to normal. Lifting, walking and focusing on protein & fiber are what helps.
Thank you!
Thank you for your kind words. You’re doing great! 🙌
I'm surprised he didn't mention glucagon? Or I missed it? Ketogenic and fasting states use fat for ketones, and the backbone of triglycerides to create blood sugar from glucagon being raised when blood sugar levels drop. Since glucagon levels tend to be higher in those who eat very low carb or not a ton of protein or don't raise blood sugar with exogenous glucose, insulin secretions are inhibited by glucagon, thereby reduces fasting insulin the longer or more chronic glucagon spikes. (Likely from fasted exercise.) It's also more difficult to store glycogen from blood glucose while glucagon is raised.
Though I do recommend spiking insulin at least once a day for the purpose of retaining electrolytes on a ketogenic diet. You could do this with one big bolus of protein in one of your meals or your only meal of the day, where a subsequent meal is less in portion and not enough protein (or leucine) to trigger insulin. Furthermore, you could have up to your 30g net daily carbs with the one meal you eat that will spike insulin more certainly.
This presentation was about insulin so that was the focus. I can do another about glucagon. But I will say there is no need to spike insulin once a day. Just eating enough protien is sufficient.
Great talk!! Just one thing …. I’d argue Insulin DID make your friend/client fat. Insulin DID do its job - it’s a storage hormone - that’s what stored all the bad food he was eating. He might be “genetically blessed” and not be insulin resistant (which is a whole other problem) but for sure insulin did its job and stored all those bad over abundance of foods he was eating to allow him to get to 500lbs.
Thanks! Yeah, in that way it is doing its job. But he didn't get fat because of insulin being high, he got fat because he ate too much.
@@craigemmerich agreed! And too much of the wrong foods!! (Oreos and ice cream!)
I've done an experiment specifically with Zevia (stevia). Tested insulin before and after drinking 2 Zevia sodas. Insulin didn't budge.
Dr. Ben Bickman says that Monkfruit and Stevia are not a problem; that they don't raise your insulin. We still need more RCTs to finally confirm that.
@@kinkle_Zeven if some others sweetener did raise insulin a little, there are no calories in the soda. So insulin can’t store fat or carbs you didn’t eat.
@craigemmerich you can have an insulin response from a sweetner , so your pancreas produces and where does it store it? In a cell
@@SLAYINGVR Where does what get stored? The drink is zero calories so there are no carbs or fat to store.
@@craigemmerich During digestion, insulin stimulates muscle, fat, and liver cells to absorb glucose. The cells either use this glucose for energy or convert it into fat for long-term storage.
Thank you Craig and Maria for your excellent dedication to our health if it wasn't for you I would be still drinking coffee with sticks of butter. I quit both: coffee and sticks of butter. I know that info Craig compiled here is accurate because I experienced it on my own body.
So proud of you! 💪
Thanks!
I love my bulletproof coffee's, I look forward to them every morning. Ill have to cut it back to 1 cup a day. Rather than 2 a day. I add 25g of organic grass fed butter 🫣
Cutting back or eliminating the BPC will definitely help speed up fat loss. :)
I'm wondering...are people who have had surgery to remove belly fat more susceptible to storing fat as visceral fat? If they lose adipose cells, they have less places for storing consumed fat, correct?
Sorry. Saw the answer to my question later in the video.
Interesting discussion... not seeing how what is presented is different from the keto and/or other "experts". I think the same thing is being side just differently... i have slightly different conclusions but still a good presentation.
Thanks. Most keto and carnivore influencers and doctors believe that it is the elevated insulin that is causing you to get fat. But it is really you getting fat that is causing you insulin to rise. It is a distant difference because they then imply that you can't get fat from eating fat if you are keto or carnivore since fat has little effect on insulin. But that isn't true. We have people gaining weight all the time with that advice. And fat does effect insulin, more over 24 hours even if its less after a meal (first 2-3 hours after a meal) as I show in this presentation.
thank you for the great presentation. I am reminded a bit about the P:E diet from Ted Naiman's book. Basically get to your desired/required level of protein and adjust the carbs or fat to suit your goals. Carbs come with some side effects you have to keep in mind.
My question is, if choosing to do carnivore, what sources of meat are best and how do you adjust the fat content? I guess it would be easy if you just ate ground beef, but its harder with steak.
Thank you.
Thanks! You can pick some leaner cuts like chicken, fish, seafood, tenderloin. We have charts of all the proteins in this book sorted by fat content making it easy to pick ones better for fat loss.

Glad it was helpful!
At 11: 57 there about - isnt insuline responsive to all energy processes - i.e once we put food into the stomach, there should be some enegry call which mean some insuline release -i wonder if we inject the glucose, fatty acids and amino acids into the blood directly then measure the insuline and see what will happen.
If you were able to inject it into the bloodstream there would still be a similar insulin response. The pancreas would jump into action to keep blood fuels under control.
Good stuff @Craig Emmerich!! Love listening and learning from you 😃
Thanks!

What if we eat super high protein most days of the week? 5days for example. For months and months. Is this good? How do we cycle fat? Or start to include more fat for variety and reverse out? Or if we plateaued with fat loss but don’t want to increase only protein days.
Depends what you mean by super high protein. We count macros based on your age, lean mass and goals.
Plateaus can happen for many reasons. It depends how close to goal weight you are, how much total body fat you have to lose, etc. Also eating dairy or nuts can stall. Many reasons.
It really bothers me that most keto carn "experts" prioritize fat over protein. You, Maria, Nadir Ali, Naiman, Bret Scher, Marty Kendall are the few who explain energy toxicity. It has become a fat eating contest. And people wonder why they may be losing lean mass, stall out on weight loss, gain weight, have elevated triglycerides, and/or elevated fasting glucose and hbA1c. While I do not fear fat, I definitely do not go out of my way to be earing globs of it. Protein is the key to optimal health actually. Not fat.
Yes, it can look like an eating competition sometimes and that shouldn't be the goal. Especially if trying to lose weight.
It may be funny but other people's reasonable and educated opinions don't bother me at all
Depends on the person and activities. In my case I need a lot of fat for energy, the more active the more fat.
@@Wen6543 Exactly. Everyone is different. But when anyone recommends HPLF when LCHF is not working they get demonized. This space is too dogmatic
@@JYAN2852 Agree, many hiper carnivores are a bunch of wacos just like those die core vegetarians and vegans.
What a great conference. Thank you so much from Canary islands. On the carnivore space they normally agree on a ratio fat:protein of 1:1 (in grams) even 1,5 or 2:1. It's that a good ratio from your point of view?
We prefer to track macros in grams per day as that aligns more with the real goals. Carbs to a minimum (under 20g total carbs a day), enough protein for your lean mass (bigger with more muscle requires more protein), then fat is the dial you adjust based on your goals. Less dietary fat for fat loss, more dietary fat for maintenance or gaining weight.
I thought Ankylosing spondylitis came from a bad bacteria in the gut? I heard that a no starch diet( per Professor Alan Ebringer- "Over 95% of AS patients possess the HLA-B27 antigen whilst it is present only in 8% of the general population. The Klebsiella microbe has molecules which resemble HLA-B27 and this is the reason why AS patients generally belong to the HLA-B27 group) ....was good for it going into remission?
And I’ve been on a no starch diet for over 18 years.
@@craigemmerich I wonder why diet works for some and not for others? There are some who have gone into complete remission with only diet. If u don't mind me asking, do you have the Klebsiella microbe?
@@TheGreennblue I think it depends on what the trigger for the autoimmune reaction is. For me it wasn’t the microbe. It was Lyme triggering CIRS and that lead to AS.
@@craigemmerich I was just thinking the microbiome may be more important than we realize because if you ate no starch for that long then that Klebsiella must have been starved out but you think it was the Lyme triggering the CIRS. I don't know, these things are beyond me. Thanks for your answers, I appreciate your taking the time, God bless.
I’m 77 and am confused as to the amount of protein and fat I should have. I’ve read that I should have more protein because of my age. How much is enough?
Yes, at your age you want more protein because the loosing curve shifts requiring more protein to maintain muscle. And protein is the key to bone health as well.
A good number would be 0.9 to 1.0 times your lean mass. Lean mass being total body weight minus body fat. We have a free calculator here:

Sorry for my silly question but Im abit confused... Im doing Keto / Carnivore now and feeling amazing, so he is still defending those diets (adding knoledge of how insulin works) or saying that they are wrong?
We have advocated for Keto and Carnivore diets for over 20 years. They are great. But they need to be designed based on goals and the individual. If you wave a lot of body fat on your body, you don't need as much in the diet. And if you are in a long stall, try dialing the fat back.
@@craigemmerich Thank you for your answer! Im indeed under-weight, doing Gym and cardio alternate all days, was having a regular "healthy" diet with normal amount of carbs coming from non-proessed and whole grain sources, and now I switched to Keto / Carnivore and I feel really good, but I dont know how much strict should I be w the carbs. Some exponents lika A Chaffee say that dont are necesarilly at all others to keep a low amount from fermented sources.. others even to while no going up from 100 g or causing insulin spike is still ok.. this is why Im a bit confused and I was trying to understand what is this video / you recommending.
@@gabocavallaro there are no “required” carbohydrates. But what plant sources you include is entirely up to you and your tolerance level for them.

@@craigemmerich Got cha! THank you very much!
all i know is on meat only type 2 atm no longer taking insulin daily still need to get a bit lower on the sugars but giving it time. Unk if I have lost weight as I just started. was taking phentermine till it made me feel too weird lost 15 pounds in 3 days. have not gain any of it back that is good. Now I went to a more food-based diet. Carnivore mostly eggs. ham, pork, sausage, hamburger. some butter. I never been a high fat person. I do not eat uber fat diet. I may eat 60 percent protein 40 percent fat because that is how a lot of the meats are if you eat them as cuts of meat and not just mush like hamburgers. This way of eating can be hard, but I do not believe I need to up my fat, at least not yet. I do have a lot of weight I need to lose and was under the impression that if you eat less fat, you should burn more. As protein is half the calories of fat and very filling. I hope this works because I am doing this in hopes of avoiding having to have weight loss surgery. So far the sugars are going better. Now to get the body smaller lol. As everyone I have seen on keto and carnivore who didnt cheat all had the fat melt off so? I guess your saying its biological wrong? yet it seems to work? Kind of confused.

Well... obviously this doesn't apply to the management of cancer to apply the press pulse strategy right? GKI 2.0 or below as Prof Thomas Seyfried says ❤ or...is there a way you can have a 2.0 or below GKI for management of cancer without adding fat? I'm eating basically meat, sea salt and tallow, of course I can raise my ketones with the tallow. I tried eating only meat, not adding extra fat and I was doing omad...but never got to raise my ketones. Is there something I was doing wrong? Or is just impossible not adding extra fat for management of cancer while lowering glucose for the press pulse strategy
Yes, the goals matter. In this case we are mostly talking about fat loss. Other goals like seizure control, cancer, Alzheimer's, etc. will require different macros with higher dietary fat and moderate protein, with even more restriction on carbs. That is why we don't promote a one size fits all approach like "Eat only the fattiest cuts of meat" for everyone. Each person has different goals and their macros should align with those goals.
And I'll add, cancer might be best at lower overall food, while being higher portion of fat. Cancer is an anabolic disease and loves growth. So things like therapudic fasting of multiple days might be best (which we don't recommend for those trying to lose body fat).

Are you referring to me? I have eaten carnivore myself for over 7 years to help with my Lyme pain and wrote the Carnivore Cookbook 5 years ago. There is nothing wrong with carnivore. This is just the truth behind how the body works and why the carnivore advocates that promote a one size fits all approach (just eat the fatties cuts of meat) is wrong.

good presentation covering insulin and glucose however the essential knowledge to not just maintaining weight but shifting into deeply regenerative functions in the body and anti aging processes is in restoring leptin sensitivity. Look into the role of this master hormone and then you will realize in some ways it's equal to and in some ways more important to focus upon than insulin...we focus on insulin though for one reason because it's easier to measure. Leptin however is essential to understand in how it works with insulin and its role in hypothalamus and brainstem and thus every aspect of hormone function and thereby effects all processes in the body.
Like let me give you an example if you have a client with neuropathy symptoms where their case has led to disruptions and degeneration in the myelin sheaths, can you induce remyelination through their immune system and fix this in a few days with dietary changes focused on insulin and blood sugar? Nope. And I could give you thousands of other examples. The immune system has capacities to handle just about every health issue, however leptin levels and function has become severely disrupted in 98% of people and thus disrupted all other hormonal signaling.
The pinnacle of what can be achieved as far as let food be your medicine is understanding how to work with leptin. Having said all that I have only found one practitioner who knows how to do all this.
We have been helping clients with this lifestyle for over 20 years and fully understand leptin and leptin resistance. :)
This was a very good video. Answered some questions I had. Thanks

Hi, I did miss some more info on ketones. I'm low carb for 3 years know, had cgm twice for two weeks. I tested some things 500 g of boiled chicken breast. As a single meal for the day. That had no response on my blood sugar. My ketones are never very high 0.5 of to 0,8. After intense exercise a got a1,3. You said something about exorgines ketones being poisonness? Is it possible to go into that? 53:35 53:35
No, exogenous ketones aren't poisonous. But they won't help with fat loss. They will stop your body from making ketones from your own stored fat. More on that here:
ua-cam.com/video/i_RSwoYZyeE/v-deo.html
@@craigemmerich Ah, ok, so your body is going to burn the exogenous ketones first because it cannot store them? Makes sence. So it burnt them until it get's back to "base level" of around 0,6 or so?
@@craigemmerich maybe you could help me with this other question I got regarding the Inuit. Some people will say they don't go "into ketosis", Have you heard of this? And what do you think it means, could it mean there ketones never go as high as with a carb eater suddenly stops eating carbs?

Thank you very much for this wonderful class.
Thank you so much! This video will be on our channel forever so you can also come back to it. :)
I didn't have his CRP but from past tests it was fairly low. He is just metabolically really healthy as he just keeps making more and more fat cells keeping them small and not inflamed. :)
Thank you! 😊
A very obese friend started one of the semaglutide drugs. He is losing fast and steadily. 31 pounds in 7 weeks. Obviously these drugs work. What is your opinion about them?
Studies have shown that much of the weight loss is muscle, up to 50% or more. So not ideal. And you have to change your diet anyway if you want to keep the weight off unless you plan to take the drugs for the rest of your life.
Those drugs I think are an express lane to a grave. Do with that what you will.
Well done brother!

11:01 If you could please answer this, or give your opinion (sorry if you do later in the video): Would this kick you out of ketosis if it was too much though, even though there isn’t any fat in it? What about autophagy?
What kick you out? Too much dietary fat? No but ketosis shouldn't be the goal for most people (unless you have seizures, Alzheimer's, etc). Elevated blood ketones has no correlation to weight loss or results. More on that here:

@@craigemmerich Yes, my bad for not saying what I was asking about! I appreciate your response and videos, Thank you! 😊
10:35 Insulin can't store fat you didn't eat, but a drop in blood sugar level might increase hunger due to the cephalic phase insulin response (CPIR). Other youtubers have tested this by drinking diet sodas while wearing a CGM. There seem to be a slight drop of blood sugar levels, which is a clear indication of insuline secretion. When the blood sugar level drop, hunger pangs usually follows...
Yes, that could be possible. But there are studies that show no reaction too. It is somewhat individual but in our experience, it is not the zero calorie sweetener causing them not to lose weight. It is everything else in the things they consumed with the sweetener in it (diary, fat, nut flours, etc.). If you cut all dairy and nuts and track proper macros, sweeteners are not an issue.
How can you be sure that the dietary fat is not used by the liver to make ketones (on a zero carb diet) rather than being stored ?
The body burns free fatty acids directly. This is your main fuel source when eating low carb. Some of those free fatty acids go to the liver and get turned into ketones for the brain, etc.
But at rest, you have about 100 total calories in your entire blood volume (all glucose, free fatty acids and ketones total). So eating a 800 calorie meal, most will get stored for later. Unless you are running a marathon while eating. :)
@@craigemmerich
Dr Ben Bikman would disagree with you on this fat storage vs turning dietary fat into ketones issue
@@prunelle19 I don’t think he believes all the dietary fat you eat in a meal is immediately turned into ketones and used by the muscle.
@@craigemmerich
I guess that's a question you should ask him yourself
@@prunelle19 Would love to because I don't think he would say that. That isn't how the body works. Your metabolic rate doesn't suddenly increase by hundreds of calories while sitting on a couch eating.
18:43 Aha! 28:53 Does this explain the dawn phenomenon of higher fasting glucose readings?
This talk provided some science I’ve needed to learn about. I feel more comfortable prioritizing protein now and not obsessing about hitting a certain fat percentage.
Yes 🙌 I’m so glad you found this helpful ❤️❤️❤️
Yes, cortisol rises in the morning an hour or so before you wake to help you get ready to wake up and start the day. This resulting in higher glucose in the morning. :)
It is not insulin per se that makes one fat, Insulin itself is a hormone the body need to maintain several functions. But if one's body is forced to deal with too much glucose all the time then more insulin is produces to stimulate the cells to take in the glucose. At some point the cells are not reacting anymore to the current insulin levels in your body because they are already saturated with glucose. And so the body over tome has to produce more and more insulin to get the cells to store the glucose. That is how someone develops insulin resistance.
It’s actually more that the fat cells specifically become overstuffed and inflamed and reject insulin. You reverse this by shrinking your fat cells, which further promotes the idea of not overdoing fat on a keto or carnivore diet.
Please watch this. It further explains what causes insulin resistance. It starts in the fat cells.
ua-cam.com/video/OWukXR3F8II/v-deo.htmlsi=gq16AGopbQaxGEZ-
The primary issue with high carb is that it displaces burning fat. The Randle cycle preferentially burns carbohydrates when eaten over fat thus displacing burning fat as a fuel. Cutting the carbs enables the body to oxidize more fat dust causing fat loss. The major secret behind Keto and Carnivore diets is their ability to drive satiety. Cutting out the carbs cuts out the hunger cycles, controls hunger and cravings and prioritizing protein stimulates GLP-1 driving more satiety..
Such a great and informative video. Thank you!!!
Thanks!
This is excellent!!!! It really clarified things for me!
Thanks!
I’m SO proud of him ❤️
No mention of types of fat ? Vegetable oil, butter ? This in itself is important.
Yes, the type of fat and fat quality is very important.
Ive learned so much from you Craig!
thanks for your awesome advice xx
Its actually kinda liberating your way of doing it.
I have lost an amazing volume of weight early on in my keto journey. But as I got better at tightening my 'eating window', my weight has started running away.
Because Im jamming waaaaaay too much food in to stop 'insulin spiking' episodes.
So even though my macros are good...too much of anything will still always be bad.
Widening my eating window ( still doing clean 14 to 16 hours daily its easy no stretch) Im eating less....just when im hungry over 8 to 10 hours. 🙂
your gunna be sick of my postings haha but I got a curly one.
I have sleep apnea and low ox sat over night from nitric oxide dep.
Have been tracking it for 9 months. Found the key is beetroot. numbers stay normal when I eat it. (not the powder doesnt work.) but it has to be at bed time. Which spikes my sugars and insulin for bed. Affecting my weightloss negativily. Bad.
Your thoughts be appreciated. A video on nitric oxide be awesome thanks.
Thank you!!

On point, on point! 👏👏👏 Thank you for such a great ACCURATE presentation.

How much protein pr kg lean mass?
We have a free calculator here:
mariamindbodyhealth.com/calculator/
The reason why the 2nd 20 lbs is harder to lose than the 1st on a keto diet is because a large part of the first 20 lbs that is lost is glycogen, which is the fuel stored in your muscles. Once that is gone, the next 20 lbs lost would be fat and/or muscle depending on how aggressive you get with your diet. Fat and muscle convert into fuel into much slower than glycogen.
Some of the first 20 pounds on Keto is water loss. But the point still remains. The third 20 pounds should be easier than the second 20 pounds. But it’s not it’s a lot harder.
And the last 5 pounds of fat loss should be the easiest when insulin is lowest. But its the hardest. It isn't insulin lowering that causes you to lose body fat, it is stored body fat going down that lowers insulin (less stored body fat to hold back into storage).
@craigemmerich Isn't the main reason because your metabolism slows as you lose weight?
@@metacombs it’s shouldn’t slow if you get your macros right. Meaning if you prioritize protein and don’t lose much muscle, your BMR wont slow down. Another reason to focus on protein. But the point remains, if it’s all about keeping insulin low, it should be easier when insulin is low. But that’s not the case.
Thank you for this!! I’ve been carnivore for two years and have only lost the weight I originally gained when I first started and ate a stick of butter per day. I’ve had good healing and am off my blood pressure meds and no longer crave sugar/carbs.
I’m getting ready to have a comprehensive blood panel done to compare it to the one I did right before I started carnivore, when I was low carb. My numbers were schizophrenic. All good except for high LDL, Lp(a), and ApoB. My fasting blood glucose was a bit high, but has since come down. My fasting insulin was 8.6. My inflammation markers were all good.
What percentage of protein to fat should I be aiming for? I’m so confused because I hear that I need fat for my hormones and to lose fat. I’m 66 yrs. old, 5’6” and ~165 lbs. I’m looking to lose about 20-30 lbs. to take pressure off my joints.
great information!

Glad you think so!

One caveat: The fat drinks still had 10% carbohydrates and 10% protein. That might have an effect on the insulin. I dont think it is right to say, fat per se has an effect on insulin.
But still right. There is always a basal rate of insulin. However, a measurement of Glucagon at the same time would have been interesting.
Even if pure dietary fat was consumed and it didn’t raise insulin, it would still be stored in your fat cells. And you would want it to. Otherwise you have sky high triglycerides or fat accumulating in places you don’t want it like the liver pancreas, etc..
@@craigemmerich If one consumes more fat than one can metabolize, then that is of course correct.
@@craigemmerich If one consumes more fat than one can metabolize, then that is of course correct.
@@matthiaspriester2368 Well, unless you are running a marathon while eating there is no way your body will metabolism all that you eat in a meal. At rest, your entire blood volume contains about 100 total calories of glucose, fat and ketones. So almost all the fat you eat goes into fat storage (adipose) first. Then it is about how much you burn over the course of the day versus what you eat that determines how much stored body fat you lose.
Most fascinating of all keto video's!
Fabulous presentation!!! Thanks Craig
Thanks!
Thank you for watching ❤️
19:00 Isn't most of the first 20 pounds water weight though?
Not necessarily. Depends on how much inflammation is present.
Some is. But then let’s say the second 20 pounds. Is that easier than the third 20? No, it gets harder and harder because you are getting more and more insulin sensitive making it easier to store fat as you lose weight.
Good stuff. Thanks!!!!
Our pleasure!
Robert lustig talked about a study where gmo mice (mouses) where used to try and prove insuline by itself can be harmful but I can't exactly remember how the experiment was done. Anyone ever heard of it?
I haven't seen that.
I have not seen it. Sorry 🙏
At the end of the day, if you want to lose weight, isn’t it ultimately calories? Thank you!
Yes, calories still matter. But the breakdown of those calories (Macros, fat, protein and carbs) is much more important to ensure you maintain muscle while lose mostly body fat.
Insulin doesn't make you fat. But eating too many high carb foods too often certainly does.
Yes 👏
But high insulin will make you sick, and feel bad. even if your not fat.
@@nataliegist2014 Chronically elevated insulin can. But that isn't what made you fat. High fasting insulin is the result of getting close to your personal fat threshold. I explain this in detail in the presentation.
@@craigemmerichso are you saying a high carb low fat diet is better, or a low fat low carb high protein is better.
Sorry i got confused in the vid, i thought i heard you say 20g of carbs, then i thought i heard you say lower the fat. So im lost on what to use for energy source.
So high fat/low carb or high carb/lowfat. Thanks
@@Primetime_dads if fat loss is your goal, keep carbs below 20g total carbs per day, get enough protein for your lean mass, then use fat as a dial you adjust based on your goals. For more fat loss, less dietary fat. For maintenance or gaining, more dietary fat.
How much insulin would a T1 diabetic use on a daily basis on a Dr Bernstein-style low-carb diet
vs a WFPB, vegan diet that is high carb(>85%), low protein(
That would be an interesting comparison. I know a low carb type one has about 80-90% of daily insulin used for basal insulin and 10-20% for food. In SAD diet this ends up close to 50% each.
My fasting insulin is 2...I am still gaining weight on very very clean carnivore (ketovore) very limited cheese
Very low insulin resistance score in NMR also. Too much fat maybe?
Then you are eating too much dietary fat. And proving the point of this presentation, that eating too much fat, even when insulin is very low, will make you gain body fat.

I'm confusion I thought glucose causes your insulin to stay high much longer than fats and fat causes your insulin to go lower faster...???
Glucose causes your insulin to go much higher in the short term. First 2-3 hours after ingesting it. Fat won't make it go that high, but the overall impact on insulin over 24 hours is still significant. Any fuel has to be stored and keep the blood in tight control.
Sugar makes it go high. Fat makes it stay. Combining the two is a recipe for disaster.
@@craigemmerichso its better to run a higher protein higher carb then a higher protein higher fat diet correct.
It’s weird because when i was vegan for a decade, very high carb low fat and my fasting insulin was 2.3
I went animal based and of course my fat went up and my fasting insulin did too.
So im assuming fat is what drives insulin up. Would this be correct?
@@Primetime_dads fat does effect insulin. But I think lower carb is better for health long term. So higher protein, low carb, then fat to satiety if not trying to lose weight.
@@craigemmerich my goal is to keep my insulin at 3 something. Im already lean, i just want to keep my insulin in check.

I am lucky enough to make new fat cells, so my bloodwork always looked ok. But I was just bigger every year.
Managed to get to 400 lbs before I went to a Keto diet, did that for 2 years.
Now on 95% beef carnivore. The other 5% is bacon and ghee.
Just eating too much, fast foods, junk foods. Cooking my own food and cutting added sugars/carbs in any form helped a lot.
I lost down to 165, but I gained back to 200 by eating too much fat.
I was lean carnivore, hardly any added fat. Shrimp, tuna and tilapia, plus beef.
I tried high fat carnivore, where you limit your protein and use fat to replace calories.
That didn't work so well in my case.
I switched back to using small amounts of butter or ghee for flavor not as a food source.
Way to go! Yes, it’s better to just get your macros right and prioritize protein over fat when weight loss is a goal 🙏❤️
