Excellent interview! I am a type 2 diabetic and my doctor and his nurses gave me wrong information for years. They said carbs were necessary every day! I figured out that was false on my own years ago and I reversed my diabetes without their help. Everything you said should be mainstream knowledge by now but many doctors won’t change.
You eating carbs is crucial for maintenance of your doctors wallet and well being. Their goal is to have a repeat customer for life. If everyone only went to doctors when they break a bone or some serious condition arises how would they make money. They always treat the symptom and never the underlaying cause. Only doctors I trust are ex-doctors who gave up their licences and went against the establishment.
Choose wisely, listen to your body and discard what doesn't suit you, in my case it's carbs and 99% vegetables and fruits..my body mostly likes animal products..it's not my fault..
The major problem we have, is supermarket food. Until supermarkets came into being we didn't have food at hand all over the place. We had to cook it when we got home. Now, it's instant everywhere.
Despite being told 🙄 dietary adjustments would have minimal effect, I took proactive steps and radically altered my diet, achieving remarkable remission from Hashimoto's 🙏🏻
@@Crash-Rest-YummyFollowing a Carnivore diet and supplementation (Lugol's Solution 2%, Selenium, Metyl B Complex, electrolytes, ALA, Inisitol, NAC, Milk Thistle, Zinc, Copper, Chromium...) has yielded exceptional results for me at 46. Both Hashimoto's and perimenopause symptoms have disappeared. Whenever I attempt to incorporate vegetables into my diet, my symptoms consistently reappear. I've found weighted walks (6+ miles) and weightlifting suit me best, while other activities impact cortisol and blood sugar.
@@Sandra.Viewer Thanks for the kind reply, i struggle with constipation once in a while on carnivore, it gets resolved in the end but there is that :D I also had it before going carnivore so carnivore didn't cause it, the slow thyroid slowed everything down is my guess.
How long does it take to become fat adapted? Because for me… I have been low carb for year now. And when I eat 50/50 fat/carb… I have diarrhea next day. I love fat and want to eat more of it but my body just doesn’t adjust and it’s been a year
Many people trying to do keto make the mistake of eating too many dry, lean meats like chicken breast. Yeah, that's not good. On the plus side, the higher fat meats like 70/30 ground beef usually has a lower price. And you can even get fat trimmings from the butcher for next to nothing, if not free.
My life was better by a million going carnivore, then I tried going to keto for variety, wound up going all the way back to sugar white flour etc now I feel like crap again! Still kept most weight off but all my pain is back
@@yummymealsss Carbs cause inflammation. Most pain comes from inflammation. It may not allow a person to become totally pain free in some situations but will make a massive difference.
@@yummymealsss I have been on oxys for a decade with DDD, herniated discs and chronic back pain. I discovered that fasting for 10 days made me pain free. Then as I introduced food back my pain came back. I discovered that carnivore way of eating causes no problems. My pain 100% comes back with regular carbs specially from fibrous vegetables. I can eat simple carbs from rice and potatoes for a day or two but, anything longer and not only does pain come back but, my joints get so inflamed that I cant even close my fist. Also, not eating carbs, all my seasonal allergies are gone and they come back one week after eating carbs. Carnivore is not a solution for everyone but, it's definitely a solution for many.
After trying every diet, from vegetarian, Mediterranean, low fodmaps, exclusion diet, keto, etc, to try and help my Crohn's and other autoimmune conditions. Eventually I discovered carnivore, and though sceptical, gave it a go. To my utter amazement, within 24 hours all my asthma symptoms disappeared along with indigestion, acid reflux, restless legs, bloating, bleeding gums on brushing, etc etc. Every time I've tried to add a carb back in, my asthma and indigestion drive me to go back to carnivore. Basically, my body says 'No!' to carbs.
The energy your getting “differently” isnt the optimal pathway and has its own harm like the build up of ammonia and endotoxins. Theres a reason why our body makes carbs its because its optimal and vital to our health
Never been more healthy than doing high fat carnivore. Even a balanced whole foods diet made me insanely sick. I just got rid of all plants and it made everything better, even things I thought was normal like periods cramps. I don't have insomnia anymore, no acne, I look like an athlete at 35 without training, I no longer have brain fog and fatigue, no more inflammation which is a big one for me. My teeth are white and perfect, without brushing. I no longer need to wash my hair, it just doesn't get oily anymore. And my girlfriend fixed her lifelong digestive issue by no longer eating vegetables and she finally gained healthy weight after being underweight all her life, and it fixed her eating disorder.
Low carb was used already on the 18-hundreds in UK and France for children. Type one and/or type 2 diabetes was not separable but type two was very rare. This treatment did help but without insulin it was still just a matter of time, but kids (and parents) that followed insstructions at least got quite a few more year and better life quality during the time. The doctor that started this knew quite a bit of carbs and what food had it and was going for real low carb.

Stop this bs now everybody now are experts in dietology, carbs ar essential, primal energy source. Yes body can use ketones for energy but it's just dumb, don't overeat that's all check your bloowdork and eat carbs people.
Carbs are bad because they are often cooked in seed oils. Humans have eaten carbs along with meat for at least 10,000 years. The modern vegetable and fruits are the the same food we ate 100 years ago. Ultra-processed foods and seed oils should be avoided.
10,000 years is nothing in human history. Fat and Sugar together triggers the Randle cycle which is very dangerous over many years as we can see In society today. Since the the beginning of plant agriculture there is evidence that our brains have shrunk on average around 11%. There is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
you haven't heard of RoundUp and how almost all vegetables are sprayed with it, some farmerworkers even got cancer from inhaling it when they worked in the fields.
Carbs are bad because they cause glycation and excess glycation leads to advanced glycation end products which is the hallmark of aging. Carbs are also not required in the human diet.
Wild plants are completely different than farmed ones, everyone knows this. Also ancestral fruits were smaller and full of seeds, they contained more fiber and less carbs. Nowadays you can find bananas that are unnaturally huge and they spike your glucose as much as chocolate. The glucometer doesn't lie.
Not true our fruits and veggies are NOTHING like what people ate years ago. There has been so much hybridization - so many changes to cell structure of everything we eat that our bodies can't cope. They call it GMO now - but hybreeding food has been happening food years to make things look more appealing to the consumer. Then add in chemical spraying, severely depleted soil, the micro plastics they find - even in the air and soil. The toxicity of the packaging our food comes in - plastic, foam and even those grocery store plastic bags we put our fruit and veggies in. They recently filed a research paper on forever chemicals in the plastic bags we all buy at the store to store our food in and Ziploc was the only bag that didn't have PFAs. Plus - a good portion of our fruits and veggies are imported from other countries and FDA doesnt keep tabs on their restrictions, if they even have any. Even supposed "organic" produce is questionable. We have slowly been poisoning ourselves since the 50s. That is when they introduced plastic storage containers. Before then everything was glass, paper, cardboard. They then found cheaper, more harmful, chemically made products to make other products cheaply. High fructose corn syrup, partially hydrogenated oils, highly processed seed oils and the list goes on. Watch a movie called "Dark Waters" which is about the lawyer who fought Dupont about the chemicals it was using (originators of teflon - which is banned in Europe, by the way) and watch Erin Brockovich. Eye openers. It has sadly been all about the all mighty dollar.
I am vegan. I became diabetic a few months ago. (I am 70.)Now I have cut out white rice, potatoes and pasta. Also sugar. I was a terrible junk food vegan. I am fat! LOL. I'll see what happens in a few months. I became vegan for ethical reasons, so hearing about eating animals puts me off. OH... the first world problems I have!😁
The purpose of being vegan is not to eat pasta and lots of rice and other starch related carbs. Carbs in bean and lentil or peas etc are fine. Everything in moderation 😂
If humans don't need carbohydrates would that be from birth ! Or say after puberty when we've reached adulthood !. Also are there circumstances were they could or would be advantageous ?... what about factors ... sedentary lifestyle or highly physically active 🤔 Gebetics , age, etc does anyone know the science on this 🤔 real whole foods complex Carbohydrates vs ultra processed junk carbs .. does anyone know of a peer reviewed study showing any adverse health effects from a diet of Complex Carbohydrates from whole real foods 🤔 thanks 😊
Carbs from things like sweet potatoes, cabbage, butternut squash, chickpeas etc are good. From grains and sugar disease causing and mixed with fats a death sentence. High fat without grainn no s and sugar is healthy. As for needing carbs from birth babies should have a very high concentration of nutritious fats. Ancestrally sugar and grains was not available.
@@11kwright There are no carbohydrates that are "good" or necessary. Sweet potatoes will definitely spike your glucose unless you eat like 50 grams but what's the point then? You might as well not eat them. Chickpeas are very high in carbs, be careful. When in doubt, test your glucose one hour after a meal. Glucose becomes toxic for the body above 140mg/dL (glucose spikes also spike your insulin which makes you insulin resistant and interrupts lipolysis and ketogenesis).
Babies need extra carbs for rapid growth that is why milk contains fat and sugar. As soon as we stop being breastfed we are optimal without carbohydrate. The liver produces the tiny amount of glucose we need, any exogenous glucose is toxic.
@@Starchaser63 Correct, Fat and carbohydrate together is a big problem, It is called the Randle cycle, Basically the glucose prevent fat from entering the cell and this over many decades causes all kinds of issues. Fat is essential and carbs are not.
How is it that I am very slim, healthy, very fit , no pain at all, blood results perfect. I just found the best diet for my body. Everything is ideology
@@sylvainhyais8166 I believe you. You are likely a lean mass hyper responder and can handle carbs well. But long term carbohydrates are damaging because of Glycation.
"You don't need carbs". She doesn't seem to know what we eat in the Mediterranean area or in Japan 😂. My 2 grandmothers died 104 and 97 eating lots of complex carbs and red wine. No process foods though. She's not even a MD
Surviving is one thing, thriving is another. You can survive eating carbs, but it's not optimal or natural. Pasta and rice have never existed for millions of years.
If there are people who should have the credibility and the authority to talk about correct diet, it would be those living in blue zones. Do they avoid carbs? No.
The blue zones are manipulated to be something they’re not. When you talk to someone who has ACTUALLY visited every blue zone and lived in many of them (Mary Ruddick), do they avoid carbs? No, but most of them eat very meat or fish heavy. It is dependent upon where they live and what is around. And Hong Kong, which isn’t part of the blue zones, the people are the longest lived AND eat the most meat of anywhere else. Many people have conditions that aren’t fully helped or healed unless they go carnivore, so each person has to determine what works best for them. But do we need carbs from an external source for survival? No, we do not. It is the only macronutrient not needed from food. A
What rubbish about carbs. What they are saying is true. If people focused on non carb foods and no or low sugar we would not have the explosion of the T2 diabetes cases we have.
@@yummymealsss Not many of us have been doing it for more than thirty years. I'm seventy-three and very well thank you. Back in the old days when people only ate meat, they had to put up with accidents and illness without medicines and help for broken bones so, people died quite young. I am however waiting to see a vegan survive to a century. This I don't believe will ever happen.
Not sure that’s true for everyone. I was strict vegan for 6 years and my blood sugar was pre-diabetic. Now on high fat carnivore and my blood sugar is consistently way down, including fasting glucose upon waking
Type 2 diabetes is high blood sugar. The most effective diet is a low sugar and low carb diet. Fat and protein are the ONLY essential nutrients for humans. There are no essential carbohydrates. Our body makes the sugar we need from protein and fats. Vegan doesn’t provide all the nutrients we need without supplementation. And vegan diet is predominantly carbs, which are all digested as sugar.
No, the vegan diet is unnatural and you don't get essential B vitamins from meat, whole grain will definitely spike your glucose, and fat is very good to prevent and manage diabetes, because it has no impact on blood glucose levels.
@meatloafhead the optimum amount of protein should actually be " Adequate " !! For each individual, which is neither low or high but rather whats best for the individual 🤔
@@Starchaser63 I meant most people don’t nearly eat enough protein, we should all have at least 1 gram per lb body weight is double what fda states… tho that’s easier said than done :-)
@meatloafhead so many variables to say everyone has 1 gm per pound ..... development stage Puberty rapid growth age 14 to 21 approx or 71 elderly ...or giant 6 foot 4 big boned mesomorph or 5 feet 9 skinny Ectomorph 🤔 sedentary desk job or highly active construction site / labourer or lumberjack etc ..medical conditions, kidney, liver, heart, problems, various metabolic health issues...etc etc .... protein ( Essential Amino Acids ) yes very important, yet so many obsessed with more more more , I need protein all day or ill become frail, weak and die within weeks...the average individual will do must fine getting enough protein from real whole foods...if however you feel inadequate or a bodybuilder, athletic individual then perhaps I can understand these individual being more concerned about protein...
There is nothing wrong with processing food. The problem is that, for almost all processed food, the goal of processing is not to make good food the goal is to maximize profits for the processor. A good example of good (or at least *not* particularly bad) processing is the latest formulations of beyond meat which contain significant nutrients and utilize MUFAs as fat. I have no issues consuming the lastest formulations of beyond meat. The key point is it isn't the processing itself that is the issue it is *why* it is being processed and that drives *what* they do to the food and for 99% of the processed foods, the "why" is maximize profits and the "what" is "added sugars, polyunsaturated fats and preservatives"
If you trust Bill Gates I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done. The proponents of veganism want us sick (yes including governments and corporations). The same people that told you to take the clot shot are advocating a plant based diet. Tells you all you need to know. I was vegan for 6 years and used to eat vegan jerky sometimes from the supermarket. Normal beef jerky would have less than 1g of carbs per 100g. One day I noticed the vegan jerky had 50g of carbs per hundred grams. Similar to a chocolate bar. But to me I felt like I’d only eaten a piece of jerky but it would have sent my blood sugar sky high. Maximising profits is not the key driver. Keeping us sick is then they make a lot more money out of us down the track in medical procedures, pharmaceuticals etc
Carbs are essential for a physically active person. If you're doing any resistance training you better get some carbs in in the form of honey, fruits. If you dont you will experience symptoms, I know I did. Whole food carbs are not dangerous not even for the diabetic. Also incorporate intermittent fasting will speed up the body's natural healing process.
@theskyehiker I only listen to my body. I've been intermittent fasting for two years now and do high intensity workouts. I'm 5'9 160lbs. I started out at 220lbs and lost all the weight by diet and exercise. When I cut out all carbs I noticed my workouts were declining and sleeping was also declining so I started to incorporate carbs back in and those symptoms went away. Just stating what works for me. Everyone's physiology is different. What works for me may not work for you but there's nothing wrong with good carbs because they can also be very needed fuel for the body. Unless you are relying on diet alone.
@@TeamGoya89- exactly. What seems to work for you, may not work for everyone, and carbs are not necessary for every physically active person. More and more people are experimenting and having better athletic results from not only being in a state of ketosis, but some are doing it with no carbs (Dr. Anthony Chaffee was a professional rugby player while he was carnivore), and some are doing things fasted (there’s a guy who ran five marathons in five days, completely fasted). So, no carbs are NOT essential for every physically active person. Also, many diabetics have their blood glucose shoot up from eating fruit. Again, as you said, each person is different. If I wanted to fully reverse type 2, I would stay away from most, if not all carbs, including fruit until the diabetes and the insulin resistance was reversed. I would build better metabolic health before I started to re-introduce some carbs back, including most fruit.
@@TeamGoya89 Congrats on your weight loss! You are right, what works for you may not work for someone else. And if you do better with a bit more carbs it's good to go for the 'good' carbs (real food, slow release).
All these people talking about don’t eat this or that. Eat this or that. Everyone’s metabolism is different so they need to be careful about what message they send out to people. Some people are very okay with carbs and some with proteins. Some people even need both of these to live without which they’ll be dead. Please be mindful what your message is. Thanks

"You don't need carbs". She doesn't seem to know what we eat in the Mediterranean area or in Japan 😂. My 2 grandmothers died 104 and 97 eating lots of complex carbs and red wine. No process foods though. She's not even a MD
Mediterranean diet is a myth, it doesn't exist. and they were lucky.
Surviving is one thing, thriving is another. You can survive eating carbs, but it's not optimal or natural. Pasta and rice have never existed for millions of years.
Most MD’s have less than a day of nutritional training in med school. Being a doctor is no qualification for nutritional advice.
@@krirub8166 first my 2 grandmothers died perfectly autonomous in their homes. Second carbs are fruits and veggies not pasta and rice.
@theskyehiker I get your point but not being a Doctor is even worse...Nutrition is everything but a science, so anything goes.
If there are people who should have the credibility and the authority to talk about correct diet, it would be those living in blue zones. Do they avoid carbs? No.
The blue zones are manipulated to be something they’re not. When you talk to someone who has ACTUALLY visited every blue zone and lived in many of them (Mary Ruddick), do they avoid carbs? No, but most of them eat very meat or fish heavy. It is dependent upon where they live and what is around. And Hong Kong, which isn’t part of the blue zones, the people are the longest lived AND eat the most meat of anywhere else.
Many people have conditions that aren’t fully helped or healed unless they go carnivore, so each person has to determine what works best for them. But do we need carbs from an external source for survival? No, we do not. It is the only macronutrient not needed from food.

Can't believe people are still proposing this rubbish about carbs
Thumb down
What rubbish about carbs. What they are saying is true. If people focused on non carb foods and no or low sugar we would not have the explosion of the T2 diabetes cases we have.
Until people try carnivore, they'll never know how good it is. I found out thirty-five years ago.
@@toni4729 Well tell us if it is so good why people who eating meat didn't reach over 100 year :)
@@yummymealsss Not many of us have been doing it for more than thirty years. I'm seventy-three and very well thank you. Back in the old days when people only ate meat, they had to put up with accidents and illness without medicines and help for broken bones so, people died quite young. I am however waiting to see a vegan survive to a century. This I don't believe will ever happen.
Unscientific
Vegan diet is the best for diabetes. You can eat whole grain foods, legumes and vegetables. Fat is not good for diabetes
Not sure that’s true for everyone. I was strict vegan for 6 years and my blood sugar was pre-diabetic. Now on high fat carnivore and my blood sugar is consistently way down, including fasting glucose upon waking
Type 2 diabetes is high blood sugar.
The most effective diet is a low sugar and low carb diet.
Fat and protein are the ONLY essential nutrients for humans. There are no essential carbohydrates.
Our body makes the sugar we need from protein and fats.
Vegan doesn’t provide all the nutrients we need without supplementation.
And vegan diet is predominantly carbs, which are all digested as sugar.
No, the vegan diet is unnatural and you don't get essential B vitamins from meat, whole grain will definitely spike your glucose, and fat is very good to prevent and manage diabetes, because it has no impact on blood glucose levels.
Vegan diet is a starvation diet and does not contain all the required nutrients. I hope nobody follows your advice.
Do not do high protein 😊
Not Without fat…. Otherwise high protein is what we need, animal protein heals you
@meatloafhead the optimum amount of protein should actually be " Adequate " !! For each individual, which is neither low or high but rather whats best for the individual 🤔
@@Starchaser63 I meant most people don’t nearly eat enough protein, we should all have at least 1 gram per lb body weight is double what fda states… tho that’s easier said than done :-)
@meatloafhead so many variables to say everyone has 1 gm per pound ..... development stage Puberty rapid growth age 14 to 21 approx or 71 elderly ...or giant 6 foot 4 big boned mesomorph or 5 feet 9 skinny Ectomorph 🤔 sedentary desk job or highly active construction site / labourer or lumberjack etc ..medical conditions, kidney, liver, heart, problems, various metabolic health issues...etc etc .... protein ( Essential Amino Acids ) yes very important, yet so many obsessed with more more more , I need protein all day or ill become frail, weak and die within weeks...the average individual will do must fine getting enough protein from real whole foods...if however you feel inadequate or a bodybuilder, athletic individual then perhaps I can understand these individual being more concerned about protein...
*We KNOW that we don't NEED carbs but its the damn Ghrelin & Dopamine that makes US crave it!!!!!* 😖
Balance is the key you need all the macro nutrients.
That is not true, Carbohydrate is the only non essential macronutrient. Our liver makes all the glucose we need. Exogenous glucose is toxic.
There is nothing wrong with processing food. The problem is that, for almost all processed food, the goal of processing is not to make good food the goal is to maximize profits for the processor.
A good example of good (or at least *not* particularly bad) processing is the latest formulations of beyond meat which contain significant nutrients and utilize MUFAs as fat. I have no issues consuming the lastest formulations of beyond meat.
The key point is it isn't the processing itself that is the issue it is *why* it is being processed and that drives *what* they do to the food and for 99% of the processed foods, the "why" is maximize profits and the "what" is "added sugars, polyunsaturated fats and preservatives"
Beyond meat is not a healthy product
If you trust Bill Gates I’m not sure there’s anything that can be done. The proponents of veganism want us sick (yes including governments and corporations). The same people that told you to take the clot shot are advocating a plant based diet. Tells you all you need to know. I was vegan for 6 years and used to eat vegan jerky sometimes from the supermarket. Normal beef jerky would have less than 1g of carbs per 100g. One day I noticed the vegan jerky had 50g of carbs per hundred grams. Similar to a chocolate bar. But to me I felt like I’d only eaten a piece of jerky but it would have sent my blood sugar sky high. Maximising profits is not the key driver. Keeping us sick is then they make a lot more money out of us down the track in medical procedures, pharmaceuticals etc
Carbs are essential for a physically active person. If you're doing any resistance training you better get some carbs in in the form of honey, fruits. If you dont you will experience symptoms, I know I did. Whole food carbs are not dangerous not even for the diabetic. Also incorporate intermittent fasting will speed up the body's natural healing process.
You might want to look at Steve Phinneys research on this topic before you make that proclamation.
@theskyehiker I only listen to my body. I've been intermittent fasting for two years now and do high intensity workouts. I'm 5'9 160lbs. I started out at 220lbs and lost all the weight by diet and exercise. When I cut out all carbs I noticed my workouts were declining and sleeping was also declining so I started to incorporate carbs back in and those symptoms went away. Just stating what works for me. Everyone's physiology is different. What works for me may not work for you but there's nothing wrong with good carbs because they can also be very needed fuel for the body. Unless you are relying on diet alone.
@@TeamGoya89- exactly. What seems to work for you, may not work for everyone, and carbs are not necessary for every physically active person. More and more people are experimenting and having better athletic results from not only being in a state of ketosis, but some are doing it with no carbs (Dr. Anthony Chaffee was a professional rugby player while he was carnivore), and some are doing things fasted (there’s a guy who ran five marathons in five days, completely fasted). So, no carbs are NOT essential for every physically active person.
Also, many diabetics have their blood glucose shoot up from eating fruit. Again, as you said, each person is different. If I wanted to fully reverse type 2, I would stay away from most, if not all carbs, including fruit until the diabetes and the insulin resistance was reversed. I would build better metabolic health before I started to re-introduce some carbs back, including most fruit.
@@TeamGoya89 Congrats on your weight loss! You are right, what works for you may not work for someone else. And if you do better with a bit more carbs it's good to go for the 'good' carbs (real food, slow release).
You know. All the time. Why ?
All these people talking about don’t eat this or that. Eat this or that. Everyone’s metabolism is different so they need to be careful about what message they send out to people. Some people are very okay with carbs and some with proteins. Some people even need both of these to live without which they’ll be dead. Please be mindful what your message is. Thanks
Yes, she did mention that.
