"You cannot manage addiction with moderation." Exactly! This is what I have been trying to explain to my family who keep saying "just eat in moderation." They just don't understand that it is an addiction for me. And your videos are really the first place where I have heard anyone talk about it this way. Thank you!
It’s
I,e telling an alcoholic to drink socially only or a cocaine addict to use only a holiday parties. U put bread I. Front of me I have no control. All sense goes out the windows. If I feel sick carb is my fist thought to feel better. Period.
Such a relief to me to hear these words from an MD. ❤
My fiance preaches this and he is type 2 diabetic with chronic heart disease!
Carb addiction may be the moat difficult addiction to overcome. Because society, advertising, family members & even your own doctor are actively trying to push you off the wagon. It's a very solitary effort.
"You cannot manage addiction with moderation". Absolutely true! I think that phrase will be my future response for every person who tells me "every thing in moderation".
"Step back, go for a little walk, and figure out what the emotion is that's traumatizing you to want to do crystal meth" 😂😂😂 I about died laughing at this! Sooooooo true! I really appreciate you sharing your knowledge in a way that hits home! Thank you so much 🙏🏻
I love it! Dr. Cywes speaks my language!!!
“Every addict is looking for permission to do their drug of choice”. I love you. Dr Mindy talks about it from a perspective of supporting hormones. It does worry me sometimes. However, the reality is that when I try to do something like eat certain carbs that may support hormones I end up over eating so bad and wreck hormones. I just can’t moderate.
Very nice Q&A session. Of course what you’re saying is true, but in addition, I enjoy your speech and your obvious comfort in front of the camera. I think this helps so much to get people thinking. Kind regards to you and the campaign!
I am so grateful that I found your channel and subscribed. You have a unique way of explaining, and you speak very clearly (I mean for me as a non-native some accents are a bit hard to understand). I also appreciate that you speak very straight-forward and don't beat around the bush (you called that "agreesive", I call it "honest") against advice like "everything in moderation. Thank you so much.
As someone who never thought dairy was a problem for me, I found when I went pure carnivore, no diary, I discovered dairy was very bad for my digestive system. It took longer than 30 days before I began to really notice the healing of my body.
This addiction model is so true. I have relapsed several times. One slice of pizza leads to eating an entire pie. Your common sense, don't count things approach to this is amazing. Thank you.
This man is brilliant, love the way he broke it down when the question about carb cycling came up related to Dr. mindy peltz & Dr. Pompa
Hi my name is Lisa and I'm an addict. Thank you for telling me this!!! I am so happy to have finally found your channel. I've been following keto for about 6 months and I don't really find it working for me. You have explained why its not working so CLEARLY. Its totally because I am addicted to carbs and will be for the rest of my life. I can not do moderation. As soon as I eat any bite of sugar it immediately triggers more and more sugar, exactly like an alcoholic, and I have absolutely no control over the sugar, sugar has total control over my brain after consuming it. Wow, just Wow.
You are a wonderful doctor.
Thank you for the great content! 🌸
Listening to this 3 years after you’ve posted it, and I’m still getting valuable information from you. Thanks a lot for sharing your knowledge, passion, time, energy, and love for all of us trying to understand! You were one of the first keto docs I found and followed about 5 - 6 years ago! I’m down 146 lbs and feeling great! 🙏♥️
Dr Cywes, I would like to say thank you for changing my life. When I started this life style change in December I weighed 300lbs. I never thought of carbs as a drug and me as an addict. You have changed that. Now as of today I am down to my lowest weight since i can remember. 250lbs and feeling great. I do have a question. I have been doing IF for about a month with carnivore. The last week has been tough because I am getting all these cravings and hunger. Am I not eating enough or is it my carb monster wanting to eat a pizza?
Consider pizza as poison because it is.
I agree with addiction, once i start eating chocolate or ice cream, I can not stop.
Same here
I agree with you. In residential homes they feed the elderly with biscuits and sweets which causes inflammation. Sad 😢😢😢😢
I feel like I can see clearly for the first time.
“Eating like a Rottweiler”
THANK YOU for debunking the nonsense on carb-cycling. Gosh.
I had gastric bypass 12 years ago along with gallbladder removal. I regained all of my weight. I started the keto diet back in March and lost 30 pounds but have since fallen off the wagon and gained 15 back. I am Carb Addict!!! Once I started I just couldn't stop myself. I found you by watching Dr. Ken Berry's videos. I'm really considering doing carnivore...I need to do something for myself and my whole family.
I watch your videos (and Dr. Berry's) and I wish I could get my dad to see you guys. He needs more help than I do. He won't listen to me because his dietician/nutritionist tells him eating 4 fried eggs with 4 pieces of toast for breakfast AND lunch EVERY DAY is perfectly fine for him. My dad is type 2 diabetic, s/p MI with a CABG (at age 49), high cholesterol, hypertension, and some issues with his kidneys and gets kidney stones. Also has sleep apnea requiring CPAP and was recently diagnosed with COPD.
My 9 year old daughter was diagnosed with fatty liver...so I need to make changes in my life so I can make changes for my children ( all 5 of them).
Thank you for all your very informative videos :-)
Wholly Ribeye!!!! This is the best video yet!!! Dr. Cywes thank you so much for taking the time to do these videos and answering the questions! Thank you for being so frank about the carb addiction and speaking up about the bullshit that is being put out by other people! America is sick and needs people like you who can get through the nonsense and give the true facts!!! Keep the no-nonsense videos coming!
Holy ribeye😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣💖💖💖
I just love ❤️ this guy .
I always come here when battling a craving. The moment I press play is like going to an addiction support meeting. Sipping coffee instead of ordering that pizza and will dance to some music to recover from the hard day, which is what the pizza was going to feed. Thank you so much.
How coffee help you ???
Thank you.
Great content. Would love the audio to these put in a podcast format.
Thanks Dr Rob. Loving these lockdown gems! They're keeping me on track (and reminding me of everything I've learned over the last 18 months) 💐
Dr. Cywes, do you advocate taking fish oil capsules?
Yes! It’s a relapse that I don’t come back from without at least a 20lb regain usually more and months till I get the control back! Over and over my whole life! Moderation is torcher! And yes we all look for permission to do our drug of choice! Keto gave that to me. I’m now mostly carnivore but still have a little sweetener, working hard to break it, baby steps.
What are wonderful explanation of LDL / triglycerides.
Just started seeing a new doctor, a DO., and will be deciding if I wish to continue with her as my doctor. I've gone for my basic blood work my LDL is very high 199 my triglycerides are 60 with a hdl of 88. I'm not concerned but we will see what her opinion is and if she tries to insist that I need to be on statins.
"Eat balanced" and "Eat in moderation" are mantras that must die.
I bookmarked the buses and cars LDL analogy so I can explain it to my family members
I’m am a carb addict. I’m so happy to find you. I must abstain. My fiancé’s side gig is gourmet candy making during the holidays. I did not do well this past holiday season, but have been back on track since Feb 10. It’s emotionally draining to be around it from November to February. I’m already mentally preparing for Nov 2020. I’m lucky in that I love liver, heart, etc. I love meat. I think I can do carnivore and get through the next holiday season.
I hope you have a great holiday season this year. I love the way Dr. Cywes says, when we look at food that is a "NO" ..."Ew....why on earth would anyone WANT to eat THAT!!" View those addictive substances as disgusting....Much love xxx
Melissa Phillis I’ll visualize it in the litter box. Lol! Thank you for your well wishes and I send the same to you!
I’ve been employed at a drug/ alcohol rehab center for 7 years as of this year.
I heard a person in recovery state that everyone struggling with the disease of addiction is trying to be the exception to the rule that they can manage their disease without the need to completely abstain.
I can’t do most things in moderation let alone carbohydrates. I’m an addict and have to be completely abstinent because there is no grey area for me.
I think this (question and answer) is an excellent format for you. I can’t believe you don’t have more followers. I have been sharing your videos, especially carb addiction parts 1 and two and the rules regarding vegetables. Such common sense!
"That is called a relapse!" OMGosh I just had an "ahhhhahhh" moment....I constantly have a relapse, hyperactive get so restless at work and hit the vending machine....then back on Keto for a week then BAMMM! Relapse again!
Pam Sunstrom I’m with you on this one sister. Almost a year ago I lost nearly 60lbs on keto and slowly yo-yo’d back to the SAD diet off and on. I’ve gained all the weight back and feel like crap. I felt great on keto.
@@kirbyaugustine761 I did a STRICT Keto for 2 months, never lost a single pound, after listening to this Doc, I think I'm going full blown carnivore and eliminate the "health food" that makes me feel sick and vegetables is one of them, raised as a farm kid, meat is about all we had an abundance of and a fresh garden and lots of fermenting and canning....our veggies are not what they use to be, will slowly introduce things back into my diet after being carnivore for a couple months....maybe ;)
I can so relate---an Aha moment for me too.!
I wish I had known about ketogenic diet before my gastric bypass 17 years ago. It saved my life at the time and while I don't regret that, I do struggle with the metabolic issues. Now on keto I am healthy but still have issues with recurring SIBO and nutritional deficiencies and have to be hypervigilant about those issues. Love your You Tube channel!
I’ve played the game too. Thanks for being so frank about the carb addiction!
Counting is carbs, calories and macros is like counting breastfeeding. I fed my babies on demand NOT every four hours
Dr Cywes, I tried your suggestion of eating more veg with fat and cutting back on the protein. It worked., I am down weight and don’t feel hungry. I will hit my ideal weight by Christmas. Yeah!
Why did you cut back on protein?
Great video! You were just introduced to me by another health coach. I’m giving feedback that I like the presentation in front of the window vs the youtube crazy graphics that seem too marketing gimmick ... this is professional and loved hearing about the cars and the buses! and the three month relapses, that described the situation well. GREAT JOB!
The main principal I try to adhere is ; Eat When Hungry and No Snacking - it's fascinating how a discrimination develops between what your body tells you and what the brain says - it becomes very clear which is which. Eating for health is so damn simple...but not easy.
Dr Rob, could you please put a series of your UA-cam videos into categories / series for sale on your website?? It would be a great income stream for you, and a great information bank for us!
Fantastic as ever , would keto help my daughters endometriosis? ,keto has totally reversed my fatty liver,lowered my very high blood pressure so much I don't need meds any more and pretty much cured my fibromyalgia, I've lost 90 pounds of fat and kept it off for 18 months .. many thanks indeed
Jim Bowers it can help, as can carnivore. Insulin issues play havoc and can contribute to estrogen dominance which is a big factor in endo. I have stage iv. One thing that really helped me was reading the book by Dr Andrew Cook called Stop Pelvic Pain, it is amazing at explaining how to interview a doctor and what each treatment entails. The sooner she is treated properly, the better
I gained back 14 pounds over the holidays and here it is March and I’m still struggling!!! I never knew I was addicted to carbs. The thought never crossed my mind. Now that I’ve started listening to your videos I understand what’s going on with me! I believe this will make it easier for me keep from going sideways!! Thank you Dr. C
jenkins3gk hi, I’m in the same boat. How are you doing?
Dan pompa and Mindy pels are chiropractors. Neither of them have ever been overweight in their life they might have been I don't think Dan pompa ever was Mindy pelt might have been a few pounds overweight but we're not talking morbidly overweight 50 to a 100 pounds neither of them were ever that heavy. When you are that much overweight I don't think people who are 20 pounds overweight they have no idea what it's like to be 50 to a 100 pounds overweight they have no clue.
What an awesome channel
I went to a dietitian 2o years ago for hyperglycaemia. I was told to eat every three hours to stabilise insulin and sugar. Which meant I was eating when I wasn’t hungry. I was over eating.
Is it safe to STOP statins without weening down? My husband takes 10 mg of of Crestor, 3 times per week. I would love to hear from you or your team.
In the 90s I wavered back and forth with Keto to lose 20-25lbs then returned to my crappy diet until I gained it back. I did this 5-6 times before ending up needing a stent in my heart. Of course I foolishly blamed Keto.
Question Dr if i put cream in my coffee and sip through out day isnt that constantly spoking my insulin if im metabolicly unhealthy right now( only on carnivore 1 month so far)?
Can I combine 7 servings of egg whites with 10 grams beef liver, 2 oz. grass fed beef and 3 tab.extra virgin olive oil.
"Snacking is an emotional response, not a true hunger signal!" This is a jewel, thanks Dr. Carnivore is the way to go to get rid of snacking or cravings 😅 ❤
Great information!
That number that the pharmaceutical companies are going to make on statins has to be wrong. That's two million suitcases of a million dollars
Amen dr. C my mom has early onset alzheimer's - i'm animal based as well trying to stack the deck in my favor. keto on folks keep the brain happy
👍 #2,200K+
“D.I.E.T= Did I Eat That”!! Yep
😮😂😊
Can someone highlight what videos were the recommended: carb addiction one and two. He has too many videos and I can not find it in the bunch.
Hi Doc, thanks for your vids. I have two teenage children, boy and a girl 16 and 17. They are both very active, fitand not at all over weight. Any chance of a vid to show them how high carb can be doing long term damage pleeease ? They don't have good skin and the girl has a skin condition on her hands which I believe mey be auto immune. Their mother ( they don't live with me ) is grossly overweight and not at all concerned with their diet . Her father was also diabetic type 2. I am struggling to get through to them. If you could help with a video I wiuld be immensely grateful. Many thanks, Simon
Help need from Cape Town Help. I am 66 year old male living a carnivore life
How can you do carnivore if you don’t like meat?
You could have saved my husband's life, but we listened to his endocrinologist....
Thank you Dr. Cywes for these videos. You and Dr. Ken Berry have changed my life
I love scrambled eggs with liver. Yum

style. I do a lot of cycling. Problem is when I am about an hr into my ride I
start losing energy and battle through the rest of the ride. Then the rest of
the day I suffer from fatigue and my legs remain sore. When I wake up in the
morning my legs are also quite sore and they feel tight. I do stretching and
this does help a bit but there is still quite a bit of tension. I normally eat
two fried or boiled eggs before ride. After the ride I will have another small
egg and bacon meal. Supper is normally a steak or chicken meal. Question. What am I not doing that causes the lack of energy
during the ride?
I don’t want to start taking energy bars or drinks
as this will only spike my blood sugar.
go on a 3 day FAST
What about us that struggle to keep weight on?
22:30 explains LDL brilliantly 👏
Dr. Cywes- you are the best. End of story.
Is it that, is it not so much as becoming fat adapted, which is rather automatic,
but that one must overcome the addiction of Carbs,
which plays games in one's mind against you?
I can’t eat just one time a day and feel well.
I'd love clarification on the eat leafy green salad for insulin resistance. How does that help correct it?
I'm a little confused about dairy. It has carbs. So what are your guidelines or limitations for consuming whole fat dairy?
I use it as an additive. cream in my coffee, omelettes, but not for me to drink. My wife adn dog (non addicts) drink a glass of it every day
My husband’s doctor put hm on atorvastatin because the doc says it will prevent another stroke. My husbands normal total cholesterol has never been over 200. I want to take him off of them but worry about the stroke issue. What is your opinion?
preach brother preach! love your videos!
Thanks for your great content ..can you pls do a video -when doing keto usually gets constipated-on constipation .. in my case have to eat fiber fruits some grains and those has carbs.. Thank you Doctor
You might try chia seeds or sugar free Metamucil in a protein smoothie will help. use 8 oz almond milk, 2 tablespoon of no sugar yogurt, , 1 scoop protein powder, add fiber, 1/4 cup cold water into blender (add a few frozen blueberries if you like) I am keto too, I find this smoothie is great and has the extra "stuff" you need.
Perhaps it's confirmation bias, but this makes total sense and it's what I generally do when I'm eating to take care of myself. (Unfortunately there have been months when I haven't cared.) I never count calories or macros and am mystified by those who do. What kind of life is that? Please comment on my program, or take it as an example if you're wondering what other people do:
2 mad: 8am & 11:45 (done eating by 12pm. 20/4 IF)
Breakfast: 2 eggs scrambled w/ butter; 11 Almonds; 1 slice cheddar; 1/2 can mackerel or sardines; 4 berries.
Lunch: Large mixed garden salad w/ homemade vinegrette; small bowl of fatty beef; sprig of parsley
I have 1 black coffee in the predawn hours before meditation. Only water other than that.
I'm never hungry except just before my morning meal.
Exercise: 2.5 mile walk with weighted backpack every morn. Kettlebell when I feel like it 3 -4x/wk.
Thanks for your selfless sharing of information, Doc!
Much help!!
Thanks
I learned
diet = a conscious way of nutrition
Reducing diet = the wrong way
what you interprete into the word makes the difference.
The ketogenic 'diet' is nothing else than ketogenic lifestyle/nutrition/form of eating/.....
Coffee raises my fasting blood sugar. I am diabetic. I have gone on and off keto for about the last year and have gained back 15 lbs. Maria Emmerich says that coffee raises blood sugar and causes cravings. I have had lots of cravings just drinking 2 cups of coffee a day. I am now trying to eat keto, cut back to one cup of coffee and then a couple of cups of decaf. Finally I will have to give up the one cup. I will keep trying.
Caffeine ever so slightly raises BG. T1 diabetics use it for that purpose, but cravings are ALWAYS an emotional event not a physiological event esp if you are a T2. Don't sweat the coffee until you are perfectly at zero carbs. In other words enjoy ur coffee IMHO.
@@DrCywesCarbAddictionDoc Well, I am going to experiment with checking blood glucose levels as I cut down on coffee, then go decaf for a while. If I eat good keto, I don't get cravings, but a few cheats here and there and the cravings come back. I do believe there is some psychological factors, but mostly I think it is hormonal in my case because if I do not eat stuff like popcorn, or a sweet here and there, the cravings eventually go away. Coffee does affect my sleep and cortisol levels, so another good reason to cut back on it. I am 66 and I love my coffee, but I think it is affecting my blood sugar. Thank you for responding, I appreciate it.
I’ve been trying to eat 2 meals a day for a week I was doing 3 but I wanted to fast loner. Problem is my body still used to smaller meal so half away though my food it signals that I’m full. If I stop at that point no way I can’t fast without been really hungry with just few hours. I know the difference when my body craves for no reason I can easily ignore it and when I’m hungry because I didn’t get enough fuel.
I'm originally from Florida so I visit yearly. I will be making an appointment at your clinic whenever this COVID thing passes. 👍🏻
I decided to trust my body and was very comfortable with one meal a day and a bit more than 1000 cal. It was heaven to me. Consequence : I lose my hair a looot and must supplement. But I don' t feel hungry because of that (sometimes nauseating) fat. As if it would numb the sense of hunger like an anesthetic, living me with the thought that it cannot be healthy but carbs can't either. Love your videos.
Dr Rob, I'm new to Keto. What type of test would you recommend I do in order to find out how I'm doing biologically?? My health is pretty good btw, and thankfully I haven't been to see a doctor in years. Thank you.
I went to see a specialist for gallbladder attacks Sphingter of oddi and he was quick to suggest surgery, removing the gallbladder.
I appreciate you and your content so much! I really wish you had researched what the Keto UA-cam doctors say instead of what this woman SAYS they say because they do NOT say exactly what this woman expresses.
I wish you would open an office here in the UAE! We need you here so bad. Diabetes is the highest in this region than anywhere in the world if I am not mistaken.
How are you doing doctor great video as always quick question as a replacement for bread I usually make chaffels. I'm sure you have heard of it it has been a big craze on UA-cam for a little bit wondering if that would be totally fine to use as a replacement for bread in making sandwiches
Have you thought of recommending a limit on oz of cheese per day due to cheese being addictive via the caso-morphones and the opiate receptors similar time what wheat does ?
Dear Dr. Cywers, I really enjoy your excellent videos and thank you. I wanted to view a video you did about fructose again and I believe it was with someone else and was in your series about diabetes. Now I can’t find it. Would you be so kind to add the link?
Wonderful concepts, Dr. Cywes needs many more subscribers, T2 DM is rampant
I quit cigarettes and alcohol with no trouble at all…but carbs have been my greatest enemy.
I do enjoy your videos. You are so nicely "blunt" and plain spoken. Absolute horseshit--love it.
Hi thank you so much for the information I am a sleeve gastric patient I am doing keto and working out am I have lost 120 pounds so far since September 2015 I am struggling with the last 15 pounds I feel like snacking all the time I don’t snack bad food do u have any suggestions since I can eat little portions at a time.
I finally understand now why my triglycerides got high on a vegan diet. Thank you for the explanation.
Great vid! BTW, I thought you'd like to know that the social media links above are broken....the actual linked URL is simply missing the exact final few letters that the truncated hot links are missing. Trying to find a like-minded local PCP, and will use Facebook message to see if you can recommend someone.
Thank you for the information. Very clear and simple explanation about triglycerides. How long should it take for triglycerides to decrease when carbs are removed from the diet. Insulin resistance = high triglycerides . There are people who continue to have high triglycerides while on a carnivore diet. I’d be interested in your thoughts on this.
I'm just eating the proper human diet. Ancestrally. Farm to table.
