Mark Mallorca Practically everything we eat releases insulin; however, complex carbohydrates takes much longer to cause an insulin release than simple carbohydrates. This is because complex carbohydrates are low glycemic carbs, and take longer for the body to break down and digest.
In West Africa Ghana to be specific our diet is mainly carbohydrates made from cassava, maize, millet and yams. We eat heavy breakfast, heavy lunch and heavy supper mostly made from starch carbohydrates
@@thedeepthinker5669I hope Ghanaian as a people will return to the more traditional diet so they too will live longer healthier lives. Thanks for posting. The more I learn the better.
A lot of salty low-carb diet pushers on here are laughing and making the point that Dr Mills isn’t in the best shape ie, a little larger than what would be healthy. This is due to him being in a terrible car accident which nearly crippled him & damaged his spine, he cannot excersise because of it, hence him appearing slightly overweight. He also barely ever has to take pain killers for a partially collapsed spine, he attributes that to the plant based diet he is on, because it is very low in inflammation. Please think before you pass judgement
Sephisponge Hi, he said it himself at the start of one of his Seminars, it was the one where he puts forward the theory that humans are herbivores by nature with lots of good facts to back it up. I can’t remember what one it was, but you can find it on youtube (:
maybe he should try low-carb diet like keto, he doesn’t need to exercise and still be in shape and healthy. Diet he is preaching ain’t working for him, obviously
Always love, love, love Dr. Mills. He really is good at explaining why Whole Foods are the means of creating good health. We’ve been eating this way and have found that the meals now actually leave you full and satisfied. This satisfaction extends to when you are due for your next meal so you can still not be nibbling all while one is cooking to get the meal prepared. Here’s the thing, everyone thinks it is going to be hard to do, and tasteless. On the contrary, combining different plant foods together in one meal plays really well between the various textures and flavors. It is absolutely delicious. My husband made the change after I’d been eating this way several years and he enjoys it so much he is glad to sit down at the meals I prepare and he never ceases during the meal to tell me how delicious it all is. It is also beautiful to look at as the color of steamed vegetables is gorgeous. He’s got energy to beat the band. He is 70 years old now and has more get up and go, than when he was 20 years younger. And our minds are sharp, he goes over to troubleshoot electrical problems for our son who had the electrician from hell. He explains as he goes so our son is learning how to diagnose continuity in even 220 circuits safely and how to make the most of his multimeter. They get along great. When he comes home, he is not exhausted. Clearly his digestion is as suited to this diet as is mine. He looks younger than when he began this as when we eat wrong, it over-burdens the organs which detox up like the liver and the kidneys and even the skin, trying to dump toxins through the pores even. This does not happen to either of us. Body odor is at a minimum. We do not smell bad, no longer need deodorants but of course we shower or bathe with soap. I am not consuming much in the way of fats or oils but what I am having, my skin is healthier, not itchy, all my blackheads I had for 60 years are even gone no matter if they were on my face or my back. Cooking is fun and I am not tired after I make a meal, we eat our big meal at lunch and very light in the evening. I can be in there on my feet for 1-1/2 hours prepping and then a half an hour clean up and don’t feel exhausted afterwards. This was not the case when we ate meat, for either of us. And when I started this, the way I was eating had me in a wheelchair with arthritis pain, pain which I can remember but no longer live with. It is never to late to make a change. My husband had prostate cancer 5 years ago, the ones he worked with who were also ready to retire, there were three who also had it, (it is now as common for men to get this kind of cancer), but my husband had a great surgeon who recommended surgery as the other option was chemo and radiation. The other three men all are dead now but my husband’s cancer was worse, they did not have stage 4, like he did. The WFPB diet helps one to recover from not only obesity and arthritis but asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, brain fog, and it is the best at stopping angiogenesis which is when the body fails to stop cancer and actually builds a blood supply for it. So the WFPB diet starves the cancer and even though a surgeon can do a good job, the cells can even so, get in your blood and transport through the body to make new cancers. This is a common problem. The emotional factor of feeling better is just a feeling of well-being and happiness. We sleep better, and one is never constipated at all. I ask my husband sometimes if he is getting tired of eating this way, and he always tells me “no, I never want to go back, even if something happened and you passed away, God forbid, I would not go back to my former eating habits.” Really I am amazed. It is much easier doing it together. He also knows how much I suffered before changing my diet and all that I can do now pain-free, is amazing. No one tells themselves, “hey, what a good day to use my wheelchair”. It is a pain in the butt to tell the truth, when you don’t have to reach even for a cane, who would?
B B You’re the one who is bias. Oats, sweet potatoes and potatoes, quinoa, berries, bean, lentils, whole grains are extremely tasty, healthy an 50x better than butter, bacon, cheese, hotdogs, red meats. And ppl on keto say that cholesterol and satfats don’t have anything to do with ldl cholesterol, and the 50% of them that do have high ldl say that it’s from carbs, lmao.
Since i went vegan and adopted a plant based diet, i’ve never eaten so many carbs (good quality) - feeling energetic, healthy and very fit! Thanks for the video
The problem is in generalising. You feel good on vegan, I felt awful. No energy, always cold. I managed to be on vegan diet for 6 months and I will alway remember the time I ate fish and started to feel warm. I will never ever come back to vegan diet due to lack of proteins. And no, beans never made me warm, but only bloated. I don't know how people can manage on veganism. Also I was controlling cholesterol through different diets I was doing and I had perfect blood test results on low carb high fat and protein diet (I excluded grains, starch and highly fibrous vegies and was eating fried meat 3x a day). When I started include carbs (rice, gluten free bread) I gained weight very quickly and my cholesterol went up. Also I started to be hungry all the time. I really have enough lies about how we should eat vegan, meat is bad and full grains and beans are good. If you enjoy vegan - continue. But don't force all people for going vegan and don't spread lies that this is the best diet ever. To be honest I don't know which diet is the best so anybody who has issues with digestion, like me, should do elimination diet and that is what I am doing. And yes, beef meat is hard to digest for me personally, but sheep is the best meat ever for me. Plus chicken, plus fish and lard from pig. But different people can have different outcome. And yes, eating pig fat does not raise my cholesterol. But rice and bread do.
@@eps-nx8zg on what basis do you doubt someone else's personal experience? Do you have peer reviewed scientific research you can link? Every single person's gut microbiome is different, even in identical twins, so every person will react differently to different foods/diets. You may be interested in Zoe twin study/gut microbiome research, but probably not.
@@ObraumDziemniaka Same here. Did a clean low salt no cholesterol low fat vegan diet. Every single thing prepared at home, fresh food, complex carbs. After bit over 2months I just gave up. Constant foodprep and eating half of the day just to be overstuffed from the huge amounts of food while still feeling like I'm starving. Literally the worst I've felt on any diet. Just biting in a piece of meat or some eggs made my brain light up as if it's freaking cocaine lol. Like i got life energy back drawn into me. No more constant thoughts of food or what to eat next. Just satiety and that's it.
Depends how you look at it. They are all saccherides, some simple, some complex. but all made up of the same basic elements of carbon hydrogen and oxygen. But after digestion they all end up as the same simple sugars in our bodies to be oxidised for energy release, or stored away if here is more than is needed. When there is too much stored, that is when the damage starts.
mchooksis - I love the scientific specifics, however, in the context of diet they are different. I doubt it would matter if we were on an ancient diet and ate plain white potatoes vs sweet potatoes, but we aren’t and potato chips/french fries vs sweet potatoes are not the same, nor is cake the same as brown rice.
@@kingwillie206 Thanks King Willie, I agree, they are very different when it comes to what we eat, but my point was that by the time they are broken down by digestion, they are the same. Chips and cake are quite different because they contain added sugar and fats as well. Cake in particular contains simple sugars which will go straight into the blood giving a sugar/energy hit. Which means that by the time the complex carbs in the cake flour are digested into simple sugars, the body will say . Hey we don't need any more sugar right now, we had better store it somewhere.
@@mchooksis U DONT UNDERSTAND.....CHIPS AND CAKE ETC ARENT EVEN NATURAL....OUR BODIES DONT REALLY KNOW WTH 2 DO WITH THESE MAN MADE CREATIONS... THAT'S Y THEY ARE DIFFERENT.... EVEN THO IT ENDS UP THE SAME....OUR BODIES AREN'T FUNCTIONING PROPERLY WHEN IT'S DEALING WITH NON NATURAL CHEMICALS ETC IN THESE FOODS ETC.... BUT OUR BODIES ARE SO GANGSTA THAT IT WILL BREAK IT DOWN ANYWAYS AND DEAL WIT IT..... UNTIL 1 DAY YA BODY MAY GET OLDER AND WEAKER ETC....AND THEN BAM!!!! U GET A DISEASE OR AILMENT....AND U THINK ITS BCUZ UR OLD ...THATS WHAT WE BEEN TAUGHT... U GET OLD AND U GET THESE OLD PPL DISEASES...BUT ITS ACTUALLY JUS THE BODY FINALLY BREAKING DOWN FROM 60 YRS OF EATING POISON🤯 BUT SOME PPL GET FUCKED UP WHILE THEY'RE STILL YOUNG...🤷🏾♂️
What i have learned is: people go keto, they feel great. They go vegan: they feel great, they go carnivore: they feel great. People on every single diet swear by it and feel great. Whats the common factor? All these people stop eating processed shit and putting crap in there body and i think this is the main reason they become more healthy. We are all different do what works for you. If you want to be vegan then go for it, just see that you get enough vitamins and minerals and don't judge other people who do not share your views. not everyone can survive on a vegan diet, some people are even forced to stop after years of being vegan. If you want to go on some other diet then that is fine too. Do what works for you! Me i try to eat meat once a week and it works for me.
Yes, I learned a lot. I loved when he said, what good is a thin corpse. I eat a whole food plant base diet every since my bypass in 2006, and I get so tired of people telling me to avoid Carbs..
It's only about what works for you. That WFPB sound good until you try it. Then you blow up thinking you did something wrong Keto/low carb is the only thing worked for me lost 80lbs and still can't do WFPB so what that tell me it's not for me! I've tried everything Keto/low carb only thing that works!
Absolutely! We modern humans are not earning our calories like we once did. We are not fasting/starving until we get off our asses and hunt for one, two, three days or more until we can eat a decent meal, or cultivating crops 20 hours a day to survive, etc. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to cut carbohydrates, otherwise the excess energy will be stored as fat. Calories in, calories out, and carbs have a lot more calories per spoonful than protein derived from meats and vegetables.
Your are a total meat head. You watched this video and all you got from it was i went low carb and lost alot of weight and feel good. We are doomed! We should have a vote, how many of us are not sheeple?
One huge piece that I’d say is left out of this discussion is portions. Most people eat very high portions of food overall so cutting carbs is still be something to consider especially when already coping with a chronic disease and wanting to treat is naturally.
That's why it's better to mix carbs with veggies. I make a Mexican style lasagna that is 350 calories per pound which means I can eat the whole tray and still have eaten less than 2000 calories. All my meals are designed that way. I make chili, hash brown casserole, stir fry, tacos, frittatas, pastas, loaded baked potatoes etc. It's better to think of it as a high fiber diet than a high carb diet, although relatively speaking it's still high carb because it's generally 10 percent calories from protein and 10 to 15 percent fat. The rest of the calories are carbs. When you eat high fiber, you get to eat a LOT. LOL (I lost 70 pounds so far. I'm at a normal BMI but because I'm a little older and less active, I still have a little extra very stubborn weight).
I was low carb vegan to try and heal myself from unbalanced hormones. I’m now high carb low fat mostly raw and feel sooooo much better!!! I was so malnourished.
Sheila I know this was 7 no ago. I hope you are still doing very well. If you are still eating this way would you go back in and say what you eat? Anyway I appreciate your comment.
I started my new eating habits as low carb. But once I realized I was introducing more veggies and with the help of vegan gains, I decided to jump the plank and go head first in plant based. My only annoyance is how little food option there is when you are out and about.
Imagine what it was like when I went vegan 15 years ago then. And when I went vegetarian years before that, it was even worse! Soy milk actually tasted like beans because they hadn't perfected it yet.
The truth about carbs is that there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, your body produces all the glucose it requires. There are essential fats and proteins though that we HAVE to get that we cannot make on our own. Meat, fish, nuts and leafy greens burning fat as energy is optimal for humans. We see in our history that most if not all dietary illnesses are directly related to sedentary agriculture. We didn't evolve to sit around all day consuming insulin spiking glucose.
In my opinion, there's no best diet. It, first of all, it depends on you. secondly, try avoiding processed foods and go for the whole foods as much as you can.
The problem is that people can't seem to do "moderate" these days. Why does everything have to be extreme? What's wrong with eating wholesome, whole food and each person working out what's best for them? Health problems are often the result of stress, poor eating/sleeping habits and in the case of outbreaks of gastrointestinal bugs - a lack of proper hygiene and quarantine. I've lost count of the number of people seen leaving public washrooms without even washing their hands! Children also seem to just choose what to eat - like pasta, chips and bread as a meal with nothing green and no protein. Is parental guidance obsolete?
This seems more about herbivores vs carnivores than it does about low carb vs high carb. I've eaten both low carb ketogenic and high carb vegan. Both had their advantages and disadvantages. But when we come down to it, we are omnivores designed to eat a variety of different foods from all regions of this planet. Some regions eat more plants and some regions eat more meat. None of these diets were an issue until we started allowing hydrogenated vegetable oils, refined sugar and factory farming to our tables. Processed foods are killing us, that seems to be the only reliable science we can all agree on. So lets just simmer down and take a deep breathe. Talking about food has become the new religion and politics.
I did Keto for a few months. Within the first few weeks I lost loads of body fat. I ate clean carbs before and wondered why I had weight issues - cutting them out was great for me!

@keto cycler and fat goes directly from your gut to your arteries.
This is why the keto diet uses NET CARBS. It sort of forces you to eat high quality vegetables and fruits that are very high in fiber resulting in a low net carb total. I personally feel better with more carbs than the keto diet requires but keto if done correctly is a good way to train yourself how to eat healthier even if you don’t plan to stay in ketosis. Highly processed meats, grains and sugars need to be avoided for optimal health, period. While whole grains may carry more micronutrients that can be beneficial for your health, the human body has a lot of difficulty extracting them so you end up only slightly better off than eating refined grains. This was obviously a biased opinion that supports this channel’s view. Plant based diets are not superior to well balanced diets and there are no well designed studies that suggest as much.
I like this video...For once I really understand the difference in a meaningful way...I can apply it better in my life...I was instructed to eat as little carbs as possible while eating as much vegetables and lean protein and fish I want...I was focused on the carbs so much that I was refusing to eat any which I now know is starving my brain...The vegetables are my lifeline so I will be more mindful of my choices there to get the most out of them...cutting my love affair with sweets is the best thing I did for myself so now my new meal goals are complete...Thanks to both of you...To those who mock the Dr. you may want to reflect on why you felt triggered enough to allow your baser instinct to come out and attack him...He just provided information he didn't set out to attack you personally because he doesn't know you personally...Neither do you know him personally...If you disagree just move along...there's nothing for here...
Greetings. December 2, 2012 I revised my diet, and became a pescatarian. Two years later I became a vegetarian. Two years after that I became a vegan. I said all that to say this. The best diet isn't vegetarianism nor veganism. Why? Because I know vegetarians and vegans that have chronic illnesses and or overweight. The best diet in my most humble opinion is balance and eatting in moderation.
I'm assuming you did some form of carb cycling or reintroduced them after keto because to be in ketosis you have to eat under 50g carbs daily, preferably under 20g. Anything above 30g-50g will be low carb but not keto for most people.
@@mikeg8276 actually I combined my keto which was below 20g. And intermittent fasting. Occasionally I'd give myself a 3-4 day break and then go back into the below 20g for about two weeks, but when I did eat excess carbs I made sure it was the good stuff...
I’m not against low-carb diets at all, but my family do. After watching this, i would reduce my processed carbs now such as processed sugar-ry snacks etc❤️ thankyou!
I am on the keto diet and I am finding very effective, not only for weight loss but other health factors as well. Blood sugar is in normal range with no meds. Blood pressure is much better. My experience with low carb has been totally positive.
I love this. Whole foods is the way to go! Well said and easily understood! I didnt pick up weight until after i ate lots of processed crap. In addition, i developed migraines. Its important for people to KNOW THEIR OWN BODIES. What works for one may not work for others. There is no one size fits all. Keto did not work for me. And yes i did it correctly. It wasnt until "I" increased my carbohydrates in "MY" diet that i then lost 1lb a day for 6 days straight. I felt better. I have a friend that did great on keto , but it wasnt for me. Im so glad i can think for myself and have the ability to listen to "MY" own body. To each their own. Loved this interview!!!!
I know this doc means well, but...unfortunately, most Drs. don't know anything about the metabolism and diet (they only get one month of nutritional education then run around spouting out 60 year old science). The body can make glucose from protein--even from fat (gluconeogenesis). Low carb diets have been used medicinally for 100s of years. I mean, really, if our bodies/brains were formed to need carbs so much, how did we survive before bread? Does he realize our brain is made up of 60% cholesterol--IE: fat. Cells don't need carbs. They need protein and fat. Read GRAIN BRAIN by Dr. Perlmutter.
Show me keto or low carb people who are 102- 105 yrs old. Any examples? I'm not discrediting any diets it's just all the interviews with centenarians I've heard say they eat vegetables, porridge, potatoes fruit. The ultimate test would be a study where heart disease patients were put on such a diet then repeat angiograms.
Moved to Florida, started keto, lost 40 lbs including beer belly in 3 months and got pretty ripped at 56 years old. Vlogged the whole thing beginning to end.
I am on LCHF/keto for 2 years, It is important to enter this with a mindset of changing your lifestyle and habits that are bad and replacing them with healthier ones and keep doing it/that. Not to mention going into LCHF slowly start with keeping your carbs under 100 grams a day. and go for healthy mix of saturated, poly and mono saturated fats that are coldpressed. and no vegetable oils. go for good quality protein sources from food or powder form As your body learns to use the fat and protein more efficently you can decease the carbs further down the line over time. I have been water fasting 7 days (hunger came back the 8th day) I had no hunger pain, and that thanks to this diet giving me the cellular infrastructure necessary to do the fast virturally without any hard effort. During the water fast I made sure to be properly mineralised and have optimal electrolyte levels. (salt, calcium, potassium and magnesium) I prepered my self like above the day before i made a 24 hour dry fast(no water drinking or eating) and during both fasting periods my mind was knife sharp and I noticed a boost in preformance at school and was full of energy. 1 day of dry fast also gave me similar results of 4 days water fast. My body produce its glucose it need from protein while offsetting the "deficit" by using ketones and other fatty acids/trigycerides. (at the end of the fast my blood sugar levels were 1.8 of excess glucose instead of my usual 3.7. I had no headace, dissyness or balance problems and my mood was great) Naturally my kolesterol went up to the roof. but in abscence of insulin and high levels of glucose level in the blood, virturally none of the kolesterol got oxidised (if any happens during a fast this long) in its process to transport ketones/ triglycerides to supply my body with energy it needed during the fast. and get rid of waste products to be recycled in the liver. oxidised kolesterol , hyper glucose and insulin levels in the blood that is caused by carbs/sugars and insulin that basically lies behind the majority of all modern western deceases and complications that we are facing. some of my main sources are the following Books The alheimer antidote (amy berger) the diabetic code grain brain brain maker youtube channel sources Thomas De Laurer channel
Marcel Mendoza Hmm it is complicaded so I give you my daily/morning rutine instead. so you get a more complete picture. It is not just food involved, like I said it is a fundmental lifestyle change that I have gradually built up. One good habit at a time. I live on a keto vegetarian diet ,( since I live at my parents house so I will respect their wishes and it is a nice challenge) I am slowly but surely transisioning to cleaner keto diet by eliminating pnuts and cashew nuts and dairy products that has the casin type 1 protein. (that is really bad) (Really focusing to optime gut bacterial flora for everyone in the family. I am even fermenting my own foods to make delicious sauces or cold brekfast/lunch salads. that are stand alone/complete meals. My rutine is waking 3-4 am, take the dog for a walk/run, make a leafy cruficious greens juice. I cook breakfast that is dominated with fat and a reasonable ammount of protein. (15 or 20% daily intake) Lunches has higer ratio of protein like 60 or 70% of the daily intake/allocation. dinner is fat dominated again like breakfast it is a drink or meal or keto dessert. they are all a complete meal on their own right it is mostly in dinners I really play around with different recipies I adapt the ingredients/ ratio for the individual needs of my family members. In my case in the morning I go for bulletproof coffe or other fatty drink with 0.20-0.25dl of whey protein. after drinking leafy green juice and green tea. I later do 20-40 min of morning calistenic gymnastic/ excercise then wim hoff method breathing excercise with extreme morning cold and hot showers. I later eat the rest of my breakfast and prepare the lunch boxes. and go for work. I like to cook fatty asian inspiered like fried, soupy or steamed vegetables meals that are creamy and crunchy with exotic tastes. with pea protein tofu or musheoom protein/tofu and some soysauce(japanese brand with none of the xeno estrogen in it) I add essence of "meat" that the vegetables and tofu soak up the steamed flavor) or oven the vegetables that have been marinated over the night with nice flavors. ( all my meals have mushrooms cummin, chia seeds, olive oil, pumpkin and sesamy seeds added. ) I also make my own home made ghee from butter. (I do take shourt cuts and take a portion of the breakfast and add more protein and other tasting sauces and package them in lunch boxes that goes nicely with ketogenic bread I also prepared before hand. Absolutelly no snacking between meals and no eating after 6 pm. and trow in fast every now and then. if you eat before sleep the blood supply will be focused in the gut inorder to digest everything you just ate when it is supposed to be in the brain and squeese the brain down like a spunge to drain/replace brain fluid or somethin along those lines. I sleep around 5-6 hours and am full of energy for the rest of the day. (If I do eat carbs during lunch or dinner I get sleepy so when I need to I spike my leptin i do it the morning with a bland carb like a plate with just chickpeas or lensils with salt. It can be spiked with standard ketogenic diet but using carbs is more efficent. in combination with fasting. since I tend to over eat protein and fat, it does make me fattier and I love my food that I prepare, ( over eating a bit also builds muscle as well) thomas delaurer acv drink in between meals is also quite nice.
I’m a low carb convert, but I don’t think this off the cuff presentation covers the issues properly. I went low carb for twenty years, off and more often off, than on. But I did have success with bloods when I was following the diet. My sugars were lower and my cholesterol both were lower and my triglycerides lower. What i didn’t realise was that even with low cholesterol readings my arteries could be clogged up. I never did any tests to confirm that I have to say, but apparently there are many tests which prove this. For just one month I’ve been eating a whole food plant based diet which is primarily carb based. I’ve eaten more potatoes, white, sweet purple, in three weeks than I’ve eaten in 20yrs. My blood sugars are down. My blood pressure hasn’t changed, yet, waiting to get cholesterol results in a couple of months. I’m diabetic and have been taking pills for over ten years. What I’ve learned is that doctors have zero nutritional training, diddly squat and the best they can ever do is tell you to loose weight. But they are clueless about how to do it. None of them understand that the diabetic problem can’t be sorted with pills and insulin, so they forget the pills and insulin only treat the symptoms, not the cause. Using diet to treat the cause helps to reverse diabetes. Low carb diets don’t reverse diabetes, pills and insulin don’t reverse diabetes, they just stop the blood sugars rising sometimes and if you’re lucky might even lower blood sugar levels but not for ever, whole food plant based diets do reverse diabetes. Do lower blood sugar levels. Dr Mills is clever does understand but I’m wondering if he doesn’t practise what he preaches, he’s chubby isn’t he!
For every diet or WOE (way-of-eating), I've ever been on, Low Carb, remains the best, most effective one for both losing weight AND feeling great. I'm not against carbs as I get most of them from veggies.This notion that Low Carbers don't eat veggies / plants is ridiculous. We do. And furthermore, there isn't a more whole foods way of eating out there, than Low Carb.
Thanks for this information! I'm recently vegan and I eat whole grains only. I eat about 4 servings of fruit and I'm forcing myself to eat more veggies.
Excess protine turns into sugar the brain can use. There is no essential carb. There are essential fats. Keto has proven that it is possible to run on a high fat moderate protine and low carb diet. Not only do you loss weight but the mental clarity and QOL improves. On a side note, fiber high foods is not bad even on a low carb diet since it does not effect your insulin levels.
What they don't talk about is low carb high fat. And how our brain can use ketones and how if our bodies need we can turn protein into sugar. That's what I don't like about the vid. They compare their perspective to low carb and say look ours is the way to go instead of comparing it to the keto option and acknowledging ketones uses in the body.
This man has really gave me this information and really broke it down in the most mundane level were I can understand believe and become motivated to be a vegan and learn how to survive by eating healthy carbs by far the best explanation on the topic I have seen
This Dr. isn't wrong on how many people in the U.S. turn to refined over whole carbs for fuel. But the brain does not always need glycogen (a by-product of carbs). In fact, for folks with epilepsy, doctors will almost always suggest the patient adopts a Ketogenic Diet (Low Carb, Moderate Protein, High fat). Instead of worrying over which diet is best, or which macronutrient is most essential. Research suggests that anyone adopting a keto, paleo, vegan, or no regimen would benefit from eating Whole nutrition Foods (fruits, vegetables, organic grass-fed meats, low/no mercury fish, etc). Furthermore, fat loss requires more than just a diet. Controlling hormones through exercise, sleep, engaging in activities that produce (FLOW - the scientific term for being in-the-zone, happy, fully-engaged and immersed in a task for a period of time), and more
Reversed type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure with keto, carnivore and intermittent fasting. When I was plant based and vegan.. I got an infection in my intestinal track and was in the hospital for 4 days. The starch based diet was poison for me.
That food source is also the least nutrient accessible food that we eat. We don't have the cellulase enzyme required to breakdown the cellulose plant cell membrane(wall) to access the micro-nutrients contained within them. I bet your vegan information never told you that. yet..We do have the readily accessible ability to breakdown cholesterol which is what animals use for their cell membranes. So eating animal organs gives us incredibly rich and easy access to nutrients that the animal with the enzyme was eating and able to absorb. Or just juice it, which ever/both.
@Xavier Last time I checked we are not eating burdock nor grass, funny how your 'natural' meat based diet is only possible with variety of advanced tools - you are in no way shape or form naturally meant to consume animals - only because our brain grew fast giving us variety of tools and in your case crazy ideas - does not mean we are supposed to eat and behave in such a way
@Craig Roy and your a broke ass gas station that only sells cigarettes. This doctor Is spitting facts, your just angry he’s not telling you what you want to hear. By the way why try to restrict yourself from these amazing foods. Instead fucking try balancing your diet.
I agree that the quality of the carbs matter, but I’m not sure if I’m sold on “the amount of carbs don’t matter” concept. Personally, my body does not lose weight if I consume too many carbs but I have more energy when I eat carbs. So I think it’s about finding a balance for yourself and focusing on high quality carbs.
What's sad is reading through the comments, all these "keto" followers are quick to down on Dr. Mills, but clearly didn't even watch the video (and definitely didn't watch with an open mind).
I've had a ketogenic lifestyle for a couple of years and have done extensive research on the subject and I will say much of the info this doctor is saying is very true. However, there are certain things he has covered which are not. And I merely put it down to a lack of knowledge/research. I'm not at all putting him down and laud him for sharing what he has learnt. But he doesn't know everything. If you watch every other health influencer/MD etc they all get things wrong. That is why you have to do your own research. It's all well and good having these "experts" at your fingertips but do your own research as you also have the necessary information at your fingertips
This doctor clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A human’s body creates its own glycogen once in starvation mode (ketosis). It’s not bad to eat certain carbs but you do not need to, especially on the Keto diet. A high fat low carb diet or intermittent fasting is best for brain function.
Keto diet is totally wrong. I almost ended up in the ER. I had joint pains, back pains,fatigue, memory problems. The brain consume sugars as the main source. Ketone bodies are secondary and not giving much energy as glucose. The right way is a diet with moderate whole grains consumption, little fats and a lot of vegetables. The Dr is absolutely right. Btw there are medical studies demonstrating high mortality in people doing keto low carbs diet.
Just because Dr Mills doesn’t in my opinion deliver the best intro to why low carbs are not the best diet choice doesn’t mean the point isn’t correct. He’s a doctor not a tv presenter so give him a break. . Dr Neal Barnard is pretty damn good at presenting facts and info as well as being a doctor, so check out his vids if you’re unsure
people claim that low carb diets are ideal for weight loss... and that's not false but at what cost? in the long run, you want to invest on your health and make it a sustainable lifestyle change that can support you as a whole, not a quick fix! Great video Tino thanks! keep it up!
Any vitamins, minerals and fiber your body needs you get from all the healthy veggies, seeds, oils and meats that are part of a low carb diet. There is no such thing as an 'essential carb'. People really have a skewed view of what a ketogenic diet is. There is nothing unhealthy about it. Triglycerides are lowered, blood pressure is lowered, HDL is raised, hormones are balanced, insulin is lowered, obesity is cured, chronic inflammation and diseases that go along with it are reduced, managed and even cured. I fail to see what the downside here is. People have been so brainwashed over the decades it is very sad. Do your research. Luckily many healthy practitioners, medical doctors, nutritionists and dieticians are realizing how much misinformation we've been fed over the decades and are coming around to seeing the truth about what the ketogenic diet can do.
For everyone wondering, here's an MD and a PhD (whose not obese by the way) who has been SPECIFICALLY using and recommending the ketogenic diet for decades ua-cam.com/video/1IEuhp8RFMU/v-deo.html
Daniela Botero Concha At no cost actually At 52 years old ive been doing low carb high fat for about 2 years with amazing results Im in the best shape of my life Low cholesterol Completely norman blood pressure and blood sugar level Better brain function and memory Im sleeping better and have more energy I have always been a runner but now i can run longer and faster and less issues with injury and imflammation My sports physician has been monitoring my bloods and other tests and all the key markers show im in really good shape I was sceptical at first but my results speak for themselves Im never hungry and basically eat as much as i want as long as its doesnt contain processed carbs and sugar My body and brain is fueled by ketones rather than glucose from carbohydrates This is not a quick fix it is a long term way of eating People should not be so quick to judge things that they do not understand
I vote in favor of a low Carb diets. No denying they work for weight loss Has worked for me and down 43lbs in 5 months. The only time I have carbs are in their whole forms and avoid eating them in conjunction with fats and protein. Meaning my main big meals are carb free yet I’ll eat a fruit or vegetable as an individual snack in between.
Wow, I never knew that gold potatoes are better than Russet. So cool to learn! I love that I always learn something from Dr. Mills. Thank you so much for doing this interview!
Soul in the Raw potatoes are great because they are good energy and have just the right amount of protein that we need unlike many foods that have too much protein. Protein is the most significant factor for reduced longevity.
Your body does NOT need dietary carbohydrates because guess what ... it can and does create it's own carbs! Your brain can also run on ketones which are in fact a better fuel source.
@@megavegan5791 Keto was developed in the 1920s to treat epilepsy. Since 500B.C. people have been using fasting-type diets to improve health (read up on Hippocrates). Low-carb isn't new.
He obviously doesn't understand gluconeogenesis! Your body makes it's own and doesn't need any carbohydrate. Would agree that sugar and refined carbs are the devil.
Totally against low carb it messed me up big time I found out how lactose intolerant I am and my digestion was horrible!!!! My body wasn’t happy at all thank goodness for vegan alternatives that helped me kinda work my way into plant based lifestyle but so far I feel great on plant based diet!!!!
Hey, it's me. Your body. For the past 365 days you forced me to keep doing that gluconeogenesis to support us with enough glucose. Otherwise we'd be constantly passing out from hypoglycemia. Give me a rest already. Cut the crap and eat some real food! I won't be able to endure this shit much longer...
TheExplodingCore I eat meat along with 8+ cups of vegetables per day, how is that not 'real' food. Also over the course of the year I have tracked my body fat percentage, I started at 26% with a wieght of 75kg I am now 74kg with a body fat of 19%. My brain must really hate the way I treat my body.
But your liver makes all the glucose that your brain and heart can need without eating carbs. And he is correct, eating carbs without fiber is deadly. All carbs that I do eat, contain fiber.
I just proved most of what he said in this video. We had to evacuate for the hurricane and were lucky enough to find a studio apt out of state with an apartment sized kitchen. So, I grabbed the food from our home fridge/freezer and loaded coolers to bring with us so that I didn't have to throw it all out. When we got here, I started cooking up all of the veggies and made soup or salads almost daily. Towards the end, we were running out of food and so I didn't want to go and buy more food that we would have to take back with us in case we didn't have electricity when we got back. So we had to resort to restaurants and fast food which we normally don't consume. I felt healthy for the first part of the week. When we had to switch to restaurants/fast foods, well....we are leaving tomorrow and I am not feeling that great. We still have another night stopover on the road and I am concerned about how I will feel once I am at home. If we don't have electricity and the grocery stores are empty, we will have to resort to canned goods and some of my dehydrated veggies. I am so glad that I dehydrated some food as it will come in handy and it is pure food without additives. One more thing is that I found that I was feeling weird and took my BP only to find that it had gone up after eating out so much. Our bodies are not used to consuming so much salt. I use a lot of herbs in place of salt. All of the restaurant salty food has played havoc on me. So....this man speaks the truth.
im diabetic and Doc is right i switched to whole foods plant based and lentils ,beans and hummus is my religion , whole carbs almost every meal combined with a wide variety of vegetable, greens and exercise and my blood sugar is stable and within a normal range. no meds for now either . Our bodies are designed to burn carbs, hes making a lot of sense it is the optimal fuel.
No they're not. We were designed to eat meat, thats what our gut is made for digesting. The body can make glucose from protein and fats. Glucose is extremally easy for the body to make. Hes wrong.
@@XXXmar123 Buddy you tell yourself whatever lie you want to justify your carnivore diet, Whole plant based is the most ideal for the body and its a FACT of life while i experienced the benefits myself in under 6 months so im talking from experience not theory . The doc isnt not wrong, you are my friend and the fact that your are here listening means you are somewhat opened minded and looking for a change or you just here trolling people that are looking alternative possibilities because the old ways werent working for them . Good day and good luck with your healthy keto diet i hope it solves your problems and gives you longevity .
@@NoGimmicks144 I eat keto, i eat lots of vegetables, meat and fat. There's carbs in vegetables. I just know i dont need carbs because you dont. Carbs dont have any nutrition in them. 0, none. You can eat them if you like, but you dont need them. Thats what hes wrong about. You can go the rest of your life without them, they are simply easily metabolized energy. Energy is a really simple thing the body can make. Hes wrong, sorry. If he was right, fasting would be impossible... The reason you feel better on a whole plant diet is probably because you cleaned up your diet and assumed it was because yiu eliminated meat. Maybe you feel better because you fixed your eating, not necessarily from excluding meat.
@@XXXmar123 carbs have no nutrition!? hmm mkaay . Energy and food comes in a from of 3 distinct micronutrients, protein a chain amino acids , fats in the form of triglicerides and free fatty acids, and carbs which take the form of SIMPLE and COMPLEX sugars . these 3 are very different, the body processes them differently ,stores them differently and even burns them in a specific order , look it up , its a fact and youll understand what an important role carbohydrates have within our bodies. And YES the reason im feeling better is because i cleaned up meat,dairy and processed foods out of my diet . Again Good Luck with whatever approach you choose .
@@NoGimmicks144 carbs or sugars arent essential nutrients, the others you listed are. Can you list one essential nutrient that comes from carbohydrates? Sugar isnt one. Glucose can be made by the body easily, it does not need to ingest these via catbohydrates. Its too bad you actually think you're right and are so close minded, most vegans are though. You can eat carbs if you like, they just arent essential, you can live without them indefinitely. Its a fact. I used to think just as you do btw, i just learnt the truth. "Its easier to fool someone, then convince them they've been fooled." Im gonna stop replying because you're just one of those people.
There are actual studies that prove fiber isn't even needed. That if you dont intake carbs theres is no need for fiber. Actually read studies instead of listening to these money hungry idiots on youtube. There are government studies that prove in the society we live in today carbs aren't necessary for most people.
@@rogerschwarzinger7491 Low carb is unnatural uncivilised recipe dor disaster and death .NO MATTER HOW SHRED IF YOU'RE DEAD(maybe because you lose water and not fat,lol😂)

ive tried what he is talking about and it got me no where and i found my self more hungry. sorry but keto has literally saved me from being over weight the rest of my life AND not to mention having to worry about developing any sort of issues like diabetes, now that i have lost 105lbs and am down to a healthy weight i am now starting to bulk up. it sounds like FDA taught bs to me. but who am i.
It seems like so many people embrace keto-like diets to lose weight. They do not see how unhealthy these diets are. Whole food plant-based diet is the way to go to live a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Miles is right.
Listen to him at 66 years old today. My Doctor told me he practice medicines for over 30 years. He never seen organs clean as mine today I am on no medicines!! Just goes for yearly checkup!!
You are all negating the randle cycle. 2 ways to engage it: HCLF or LCHF without causing inflammation. BUT we make our own glucose on demand from fats and CAN'T get essential fats from glucose. So HCLF dieters are slowly deprived of essential fat soluble vitamins. Your choice
I think some of y’all are not understanding what this PROFESSIONAL DR is saying, rather then just talking about loosing weight he is telling you the scientific reasons of why you SHOULD be considerate of keeping WHOLE carbs and fiber in your diet. He’s not just talking about loosing weight 🙄 but it seems like that’s all anyone ever cares about rather than their over all health hints the KETO diet approaches...
Most vegans out there are just sugar addicts. I too was one, then realized how mistaken I was. Keto + IF saved me from serious metabolic damage. Steady energy throughout the day with no cravings is truly amazing.
Sugar, processed foods & simple carbs are the enemies, whole foods & whole grains are the way forward. I follow a sort of Ketogenic diet, low in carbs but I'm not strict to the extent that I will not eat carbs at all but I am very mindful of what carbs I put in my body. I did stop eating carbs "rice, pasta, potatoes, bread the works, a few years ago; I did it for 6 months straight & lost 4 stones in weight, along with minimal exercise, basically walking & some weight lifting, which was great for what I was trying to achieve at the time. Sugar, on the other hand, is a complete "no-no" I've also shied away using honey, maple syrup & Agave but I do use Stevia.
What's ironic is ill get messages from vegans bashing me from losing over 100lbs and reversing my insulin resistance and coming off medication and healing my chronic inflamation via low carb or keto They leave me messages about - your still fat ( yeah I'm still working at it, it doesn't happen over night) - I should die for eating meat ( wishing harm upon me for eating animal meat ) - tell me to fuck off and I'm this and that ( every name in the book ) ** what's ironic is : your interviewing an unhealthy overweight doctor and ( according to vegans who have attacked ME personally people shouldn't listen to me even though I've been studying nutrition 9 years ( no degree just a passion) and people are supposed to take advice from this overweight doctor your interviewing?!?! ) seems very contradicting. One thing im glad you clarified is what I have been saying all along that I'm constantly being told im wrong especially on vegan channels when i try to network and learn and communicate is sugar and refined carbohydrates cause the inflammatory issues we expierience or deal with daily plus a number of health conditions. I definately see some value here
This doctor does not understand the science behind carb diet. I have been limiting carbs to 20 grams per day, down 25 pounds, brain is fine working on mostly ketones.
@@barackthecomposer6642 3 months to lose 25 pounds. Most days I eat 2 meals, maybe another small snack. The greatest thing about it is that I'm rarely hungry. My fat intake is usually over 75 grams, protein about 60 grams and carbs 20 grams. Off all meds for gastric reflux and joint pain.
Everything has carbs dumbass.every plant has carbs.u have 3. Simple,complex, refined. Stick with one and two.cos at the end of the day, humans get all their food from plants, animals or both. Do whatever the fuck u want.
@@Edd0614 you ate carbs and suddenly ur body cannot metabolise carbs effectively like before and u blame the carbs. the same carbs you been eating since u where a child. So if ur body cannot metabolise carbs effectively, what is the cause. The carbs(what type of carbs)?, Now people scream sugar in bread(I get it) but bread is a composite of sugar, heavy saturated fat, butter,eggs cheese and boom it's the sugar. If u develop intramyocellular lipids, how did the fat storage come up so fast.? Is it the carbs, so where does the hidden fat combined with the carbs go?? Man get the fuck out of here. All longest living climes didn't practice any diet. They ate natural native traditional foods unique to their environment and it was STARCH largely for those who had access to it.
Ang Aur That’s not what I heard, Africans love meats they are culturally meat based cultures and there is nothing wrong with that it’s the manufactured stuff that causes sickness in humans.
I think this video is a little biased. I have been eating low carb for a few months. I must say my mental clarity and mental health have never been better. There was a lot of good information in the video. It's a little misinformed in that the assumption is a low-carb means an animal-based diet. I eat about 10 cups of green leafy vegetables per day and very many healthy fats. They have carbs, but they are fibrous and full of micronutrients. I think that science is evolving every day. To call low-carb "foolishness" is a little premature.
This doctor is a comedy goldmine. I love the editing bananiac does to try and make him seem coherent. The things he says are not true at all. The brain loves ketones (fat). As noted he's obese. This is proof his diet isn't healthy. Blaming lack of exercise is a lie. I never exercise yet maintain a healthy weight eating as much meat as I can. Despite the low quality of information I will click videos like this in the future to enjoy the unintentional humour!
@@kevinmathew4884 either you know something about how ketones function that i don't (if so i'd like an explanation because that's counterintuitive to the information i looked up when i cared about this), or you don't know what you're talking about. the brain uses ketones in lieu of glucose - iirc, ketones are actually more effective. but i only did keto for like 2 weeks, it's too much hassle for me to stick to long term.
Idk what this guy is talking about..I eat alot of carbs and such....and when i took my A1C I become type 2. I went on a Carb diet because my diet is why i became type 2 diabetic. Just switching to low carb diet i was able to lose weight, control my sugar level from 280+ down to 110 average, and my A1C test came out that im no longer type 2 diabetic. So idk what this guy is saying but me doing a 30g carb a day has worked for me.
I’m very worried about my mom cause I know she is trying the low carb high fat keto diet, and today she heard about bad things that happen when you restrict your carbs on keto but she said I don’t care I’m staying away from sugar and high carbs. So worrisome to say the least.
My co-worker just started a low carb diet. I wanted to know if they truly work. After watching this video, I see that my brain needs plant based carbs. This video is very informative and helpful. Im starting to eat healthier and this really sparked truth about what i need to do. The info about the russets vs the yukon gold potatoes I never knew. Thanks for the post.
@@MH-fv1ib in 4 years of doing a vegan diet you're still a work in progress? I think that means that it didn't work for you.. Just a thought.. Maybe it's time to ignore this obese doctor and try something else? Keto or carnivore? Maybe check out Dr Shawn Baker MD.. And see the difference in how they look.. He kinda proves that carbs are not necessary.. Just a thought..
Catch him by himself, and he'll go in on some [REAL] sh*t that strictly pertains to us, and why we shouldn't follow "their" poor diet routines because their system is wired differently from ours.
Watched your vid about low carb diets. A little over a year ago i (pretty much) quit eating grains. I still eat my old fashioned oats 4-5 days/week, 1/4 cup enhanced with non-hydrogynated pb. fruits, plain nf yogurt, cinnamon and almond milk. I'm an ovo-lacto-pescaterian. To date i've lost 77 lbs dropped my A1C 2.5 points and have a daily glucose reading in the pre-diabetic range. I am diabetic and also have A-Fib. Why was there no reference to the carbs in fruits and vegetables only potatoes? I do agree vehemently that as much pre-packaged, processed food be taken out of our diets as possible. This I also did. Good vid.
I am a type 2 diabetic. As a retired RN, I have taken care of a lot of diabetics as well. I don't follow a keto diet, I do follow a low carb diet, and most of the carbs I do eat are real foods like potatoes. My A1C stays between 6.0 to 6.4. I know that could be lower, that is after 10 years on Metformin with 3 dosage changes and no other diabetic meds or insulin. Keto recipes are great for desserts and breads, especially using nut flour/meat to bake with. Low carb is better for people who are carb sensitive and not just diabetic
I started low carb high fat
I avoid processed foods and have cut out added sugar
My overall health has improved
My cholesterol is lower mg blood pressure is good
My blood sugar is lower
My memory and brain function has improved substantially
My energy level is great and im sleeping better
Yes i still have the ocassional treat food but since breaking my sugar addiction i no longer have cravings for processed sugary treats
Im 52 years old and honestly feel better now than when i was younger
does complex carbs spikes insulin like oatmeal?
Maybe you got your sugar naturally and thats what makes you feel better. =)
Its good for short term, bad for long term..
Wow....don't listen to these clowns, do what works for you...💪🏾👊🏾

Practically everything we eat releases insulin; however, complex carbohydrates takes much longer to cause an insulin release than simple carbohydrates.
This is because complex carbohydrates are low glycemic carbs, and take longer for the body to break down and digest.
In West Africa Ghana to be specific our diet is mainly carbohydrates made from cassava, maize, millet and yams. We eat heavy breakfast, heavy lunch and heavy supper mostly made from starch carbohydrates
Say it again, hence more lean ppl in ghana but it's sad that the culture is changing towards western diet
@@thedeepthinker5669I hope Ghanaian as a people will return to the more traditional diet so they too will live longer healthier lives. Thanks for posting. The more I learn the better.
A lot of salty low-carb diet pushers on here are laughing and making the point that Dr Mills isn’t in the best shape ie, a little larger than what would be healthy.
This is due to him being in a terrible car accident which nearly crippled him & damaged his spine, he cannot excersise because of it, hence him appearing slightly overweight.
He also barely ever has to take pain killers for a partially collapsed spine, he attributes that to the plant based diet he is on, because it is very low in inflammation.
Please think before you pass judgement
Callum MacKay I would like to know where you got that information. It would be great if you could post a link.
Sephisponge Hi, he said it himself at the start of one of his Seminars, it was the one where he puts forward the theory that humans are herbivores by nature with lots of good facts to back it up.
I can’t remember what one it was, but you can find it on youtube (:
maybe he should try low-carb diet like keto, he doesn’t need to exercise and still be in shape and healthy. Diet he is preaching ain’t working for him, obviously
At his current shape. I bet he would die even faster from following this diet he's preaching. lol
y34r Nope, high carb diets limit arterial plaque massively, just because he’s slightly stocky does not mean he is unhealthy inside
Always love, love, love Dr. Mills. He really is good at explaining why Whole Foods are the means of creating good health. We’ve been eating this way and have found that the meals now actually leave you full and satisfied. This satisfaction extends to when you are due for your next meal so you can still not be nibbling all while one is cooking to get the meal prepared. Here’s the thing, everyone thinks it is going to be hard to do, and tasteless. On the contrary, combining different plant foods together in one meal plays really well between the various textures and flavors. It is absolutely delicious.
My husband made the change after I’d been eating this way several years and he enjoys it so much he is glad to sit down at the meals I prepare and he never ceases during the meal to tell me how delicious it all is. It is also beautiful to look at as the color of steamed vegetables is gorgeous.
He’s got energy to beat the band. He is 70 years old now and has more get up and go, than when he was 20 years younger. And our minds are sharp, he goes over to troubleshoot electrical problems for our son who had the electrician from hell. He explains as he goes so our son is learning how to diagnose continuity in even 220 circuits safely and how to make the most of his multimeter. They get along great. When he comes home, he is not exhausted. Clearly his digestion is as suited to this diet as is mine. He looks younger than when he began this as when we eat wrong, it over-burdens the organs which detox up like the liver and the kidneys and even the skin, trying to dump toxins through the pores even. This does not happen to either of us. Body odor is at a minimum. We do not smell bad, no longer need deodorants but of course we shower or bathe with soap. I am not consuming much in the way of fats or oils but what I am having, my skin is healthier, not itchy, all my blackheads I had for 60 years are even gone no matter if they were on my face or my back.
Cooking is fun and I am not tired after I make a meal, we eat our big meal at lunch and very light in the evening. I can be in there on my feet for 1-1/2 hours prepping and then a half an hour clean up and don’t feel exhausted afterwards. This was not the case when we ate meat, for either of us. And when I started this, the way I was eating had me in a wheelchair with arthritis pain, pain which I can remember but no longer live with.
It is never to late to make a change. My husband had prostate cancer 5 years ago, the ones he worked with who were also ready to retire, there were three who also had it, (it is now as common for men to get this kind of cancer), but my husband had a great surgeon who recommended surgery as the other option was chemo and radiation. The other three men all are dead now but my husband’s cancer was worse, they did not have stage 4, like he did. The WFPB diet helps one to recover from not only obesity and arthritis but asthma, diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, brain fog, and it is the best at stopping angiogenesis which is when the body fails to stop cancer and actually builds a blood supply for it. So the WFPB diet starves the cancer and even though a surgeon can do a good job, the cells can even so, get in your blood and transport through the body to make new cancers. This is a common problem.
The emotional factor of feeling better is just a feeling of well-being and happiness. We sleep better, and one is never constipated at all.
I ask my husband sometimes if he is getting tired of eating this way, and he always tells me “no, I never want to go back, even if something happened and you passed away, God forbid, I would not go back to my former eating habits.” Really I am amazed.
It is much easier doing it together. He also knows how much I suffered before changing my diet and all that I can do now pain-free, is amazing. No one tells themselves, “hey, what a good day to use my wheelchair”. It is a pain in the butt to tell the truth, when you don’t have to reach even for a cane, who would?
The doctor was immediately annoyed the minute he mentioned carbs lol. The doctor is so tired of it lol.
yes lol I saw that too
The Whoever lmao I said the same thing!!! He got pissed when he asked about it!! 😂😂😂
Hes automatically bias, looks like a carb addict, bet he loves his potatoes, and hates when people say he should stop
Haha facts
B B
You’re the one who is bias. Oats, sweet potatoes and potatoes, quinoa, berries, bean, lentils, whole grains are extremely tasty, healthy an 50x better than butter, bacon, cheese, hotdogs, red meats. And ppl on keto say that cholesterol and satfats don’t have anything to do with ldl cholesterol, and the 50% of them that do have high ldl say that it’s from carbs, lmao.
Since i went vegan and adopted a plant based diet, i’ve never eaten so many carbs (good quality) - feeling energetic, healthy and very fit! Thanks for the video
The problem is in generalising. You feel good on vegan, I felt awful. No energy, always cold. I managed to be on vegan diet for 6 months and I will alway remember the time I ate fish and started to feel warm. I will never ever come back to vegan diet due to lack of proteins. And no, beans never made me warm, but only bloated. I don't know how people can manage on veganism. Also I was controlling cholesterol through different diets I was doing and I had perfect blood test results on low carb high fat and protein diet (I excluded grains, starch and highly fibrous vegies and was eating fried meat 3x a day). When I started include carbs (rice, gluten free bread) I gained weight very quickly and my cholesterol went up. Also I started to be hungry all the time. I really have enough lies about how we should eat vegan, meat is bad and full grains and beans are good. If you enjoy vegan - continue. But don't force all people for going vegan and don't spread lies that this is the best diet ever. To be honest I don't know which diet is the best so anybody who has issues with digestion, like me, should do elimination diet and that is what I am doing. And yes, beef meat is hard to digest for me personally, but sheep is the best meat ever for me. Plus chicken, plus fish and lard from pig. But different people can have different outcome. And yes, eating pig fat does not raise my cholesterol. But rice and bread do.
Bravo!!
@@ObraumDziemniaka doubt it
@@eps-nx8zg on what basis do you doubt someone else's personal experience? Do you have peer reviewed scientific research you can link? Every single person's gut microbiome is different, even in identical twins, so every person will react differently to different foods/diets. You may be interested in Zoe twin study/gut microbiome research, but probably not.
@@ObraumDziemniaka Same here. Did a clean low salt no cholesterol low fat vegan diet. Every single thing prepared at home, fresh food, complex carbs.
After bit over 2months I just gave up. Constant foodprep and eating half of the day just to be overstuffed from the huge amounts of food while still feeling like I'm starving.
Literally the worst I've felt on any diet.
Just biting in a piece of meat or some eggs made my brain light up as if it's freaking cocaine lol. Like i got life energy back drawn into me.
No more constant thoughts of food or what to eat next. Just satiety and that's it.
The doctor is spot on! Complex carbs and simple carbs are not the same.
Depends how you look at it. They are all saccherides, some simple, some complex. but all made up of the same basic elements of carbon hydrogen and oxygen. But after digestion they all end up as the same simple sugars in our bodies to be oxidised for energy release, or stored away if here is more than is needed. When there is too much stored, that is when the damage starts.
mchooksis - I love the scientific specifics, however, in the context of diet they are different. I doubt it would matter if we were on an ancient diet and ate plain white potatoes vs sweet potatoes, but we aren’t and potato chips/french fries vs sweet potatoes are not the same, nor is cake the same as brown rice.
@@kingwillie206 Thanks King Willie, I agree, they are very different when it comes to what we eat, but my point was that by the time they are broken down by digestion, they are the same. Chips and cake are quite different because they contain added sugar and fats as well. Cake in particular contains simple sugars which will go straight into the blood giving a sugar/energy hit. Which means that by the time the complex carbs in the cake flour are digested into simple sugars, the body will say . Hey we don't need any more sugar right now, we had better store it somewhere.

What i have learned is: people go keto, they feel great. They go vegan: they feel great, they go carnivore: they feel great. People on every single diet swear by it and feel great. Whats the common factor? All these people stop eating processed shit and putting crap in there body and i think this is the main reason they become more healthy. We are all different do what works for you. If you want to be vegan then go for it, just see that you get enough vitamins and minerals and don't judge other people who do not share your views. not everyone can survive on a vegan diet, some people are even forced to stop after years of being vegan. If you want to go on some other diet then that is fine too. Do what works for you! Me i try to eat meat once a week and it works for me.
If you feel great then keep it up.
@@JaakkoJohannes PROFOUND!! Agree with you 100% + 👍🏾
Yes, I learned a lot. I loved when he said, what good is a thin corpse. I eat a whole food plant base diet every since my bypass in 2006, and I get so tired of people telling me to avoid Carbs..
I went low carb and lost a lot of weight and feel good. That should be enough.
Good for you, it realle should be about what works for you an nothing else. For me the only way I can lose weight is if I cut carbs completely.
It's only about what works for you. That WFPB sound good until you try it. Then you blow up thinking you did something wrong Keto/low carb is the only thing worked for me lost 80lbs and still can't do WFPB so what that tell me it's not for me! I've tried everything Keto/low carb only thing that works!
Absolutely! We modern humans are not earning our calories like we once did. We are not fasting/starving until we get off our asses and hunt for one, two, three days or more until we can eat a decent meal, or cultivating crops 20 hours a day to survive, etc. Therefore it is absolutely necessary to cut carbohydrates, otherwise the excess energy will be stored as fat. Calories in, calories out, and carbs have a lot more calories per spoonful than protein derived from meats and vegetables.
Your are a total meat head. You watched this video and all you got from it was i went low carb and lost alot of weight and feel good. We are doomed! We should have a vote, how many of us are not sheeple?
Sancho Panza No. It should be what your body needs; not by what you read that works. Lol. Delusional people.
One huge piece that I’d say is left out of this discussion is portions. Most people eat very high portions of food overall so cutting carbs is still be something to consider especially when already coping with a chronic disease and wanting to treat is naturally.
That's why it's better to mix carbs with veggies. I make a Mexican style lasagna that is 350 calories per pound which means I can eat the whole tray and still have eaten less than 2000 calories. All my meals are designed that way. I make chili, hash brown casserole, stir fry, tacos, frittatas, pastas, loaded baked potatoes etc. It's better to think of it as a high fiber diet than a high carb diet, although relatively speaking it's still high carb because it's generally 10 percent calories from protein and 10 to 15 percent fat. The rest of the calories are carbs. When you eat high fiber, you get to eat a LOT. LOL (I lost 70 pounds so far. I'm at a normal BMI but because I'm a little older and less active, I still have a little extra very stubborn weight).
I was low carb vegan to try and heal myself from unbalanced hormones. I’m now high carb low fat mostly raw and feel sooooo much better!!! I was so malnourished.
Sheila I know this was 7 no ago. I hope you are still doing very well. If you are still eating this way would you go back in and say what you eat? Anyway I appreciate your comment.
you're supposed to eat animal fat when being in the keto state. lol else yeah you're just malnourishing yourself
How's your vegan diet going for you?
I started my new eating habits as low carb. But once I realized I was introducing more veggies and with the help of vegan gains, I decided to jump the plank and go head first in plant based. My only annoyance is how little food option there is when you are out and about.
This will save you so much money
Imagine what it was like when I went vegan 15 years ago then. And when I went vegetarian years before that, it was even worse! Soy milk actually tasted like beans because they hadn't perfected it yet.
High carbs all potatoes is winning the prize for me.
The truth about carbs is that there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate, your body produces all the glucose it requires. There are essential fats and proteins though that we HAVE to get that we cannot make on our own. Meat, fish, nuts and leafy greens burning fat as energy is optimal for humans. We see in our history that most if not all dietary illnesses are directly related to sedentary agriculture. We didn't evolve to sit around all day consuming insulin spiking glucose.
In my opinion, there's no best diet. It, first of all, it depends on you. secondly, try avoiding processed foods and go for the whole foods as much as you can.
There definitely is an objectively best diet and that’s whole food plant based lol
Donuts = white flour and grease 👏👏
And a liiiittle sprinkle of sugar
There are a lot of other great doctors out there that would disagree with him. Check out Dr Jason Fung. He’s awesome! He is extremely smart as well.
Also, Dr. McDougal who is a great doctor would agree with him 100%!
The problem is that people can't seem to do "moderate" these days. Why does everything have to be extreme? What's wrong with eating wholesome, whole food and each person working out what's best for them? Health problems are often the result of stress, poor eating/sleeping habits and in the case of outbreaks of gastrointestinal bugs - a lack of proper hygiene and quarantine. I've lost count of the number of people seen leaving public washrooms without even washing their hands! Children also seem to just choose what to eat - like pasta, chips and bread as a meal with nothing green and no protein. Is parental guidance obsolete?
This seems more about herbivores vs carnivores than it does about low carb vs high carb. I've eaten both low carb ketogenic and high carb vegan. Both had their advantages and disadvantages. But when we come down to it, we are omnivores designed to eat a variety of different foods from all regions of this planet. Some regions eat more plants and some regions eat more meat. None of these diets were an issue until we started allowing hydrogenated vegetable oils, refined sugar and factory farming to our tables. Processed foods are killing us, that seems to be the only reliable science we can all agree on. So lets just simmer down and take a deep breathe. Talking about food has become the new religion and politics.
I did Keto for a few months. Within the first few weeks I lost loads of body fat. I ate clean carbs before and wondered why I had weight issues - cutting them out was great for me!
@keto cycler and fat goes directly from your gut to your arteries.
Did you even watch the video?
This is why the keto diet uses NET CARBS. It sort of forces you to eat high quality vegetables and fruits that are very high in fiber resulting in a low net carb total.
I personally feel better with more carbs than the keto diet requires but keto if done correctly is a good way to train yourself how to eat healthier even if you don’t plan to stay in ketosis.
Highly processed meats, grains and sugars need to be avoided for optimal health, period. While whole grains may carry more micronutrients that can be beneficial for your health, the human body has a lot of difficulty extracting them so you end up only slightly better off than eating refined grains.
This was obviously a biased opinion that supports this channel’s view. Plant based diets are not superior to well balanced diets and there are no well designed studies that suggest as much.

I like this video...For once I really understand the difference in a meaningful way...I can apply it better in my life...I was instructed to eat as little carbs as possible while eating as much vegetables and lean protein and fish I want...I was focused on the carbs so much that I was refusing to eat any which I now know is starving my brain...The vegetables are my lifeline so I will be more mindful of my choices there to get the most out of them...cutting my love affair with sweets is the best thing I did for myself so now my new meal goals are complete...Thanks to both of you...To those who mock the Dr. you may want to reflect on why you felt triggered enough to allow your baser instinct to come out and attack him...He just provided information he didn't set out to attack you personally because he doesn't know you personally...Neither do you know him personally...If you disagree just move along...there's nothing for here...
Greetings. December 2, 2012 I revised my diet, and became a pescatarian. Two years later I became a vegetarian. Two years after that I became a vegan. I said all that to say this. The best diet isn't vegetarianism nor veganism. Why? Because I know vegetarians and vegans that have chronic illnesses and or overweight. The best diet in my most humble opinion is balance and eatting in moderation.
Great video. I lost 113 pounds with a combination of keto and good carbs. Just eat clean!
I'm assuming you did some form of carb cycling or reintroduced them after keto because to be in ketosis you have to eat under 50g carbs daily, preferably under 20g. Anything above 30g-50g will be low carb but not keto for most people.
@@mikeg8276 actually I combined my keto which was below 20g. And intermittent fasting. Occasionally I'd give myself a 3-4 day break and then go back into the below 20g for about two weeks, but when I did eat excess carbs I made sure it was the good stuff...
I’m not against low-carb diets at all, but my family do. After watching this, i would reduce my processed carbs now such as processed sugar-ry snacks etc❤️ thankyou!
I am on the keto diet and I am finding very effective, not only for weight loss but other health factors as well. Blood sugar is in normal range with no meds. Blood pressure is much better. My experience with low carb has been totally positive.
It could be from what your eliminating not what your eating
@@om-nj2hw he literally eliminated carbs lmao 🤣🤣🤣
I love this. Whole foods is the way to go! Well said and easily understood! I didnt pick up weight until after i ate lots of processed crap. In addition, i developed migraines. Its important for people to KNOW THEIR OWN BODIES. What works for one may not work for others. There is no one size fits all. Keto did not work for me. And yes i did it correctly. It wasnt until "I" increased my carbohydrates in "MY" diet that i then lost 1lb a day for 6 days straight. I felt better. I have a friend that did great on keto , but it wasnt for me. Im so glad i can think for myself and have the ability to listen to "MY" own body. To each their own. Loved this interview!!!!
I know this doc means well, but...unfortunately, most Drs. don't know anything about the metabolism and diet (they only get one month of nutritional education then run around spouting out 60 year old science). The body can make glucose from protein--even from fat (gluconeogenesis). Low carb diets have been used medicinally for 100s of years. I mean, really, if our bodies/brains were formed to need carbs so much, how did we survive before bread? Does he realize our brain is made up of 60% cholesterol--IE: fat. Cells don't need carbs. They need protein and fat. Read GRAIN BRAIN by Dr. Perlmutter.
Show me keto or low carb people who are 102- 105 yrs old. Any examples? I'm not discrediting any diets it's just all the interviews with centenarians I've heard say they eat vegetables, porridge, potatoes fruit. The ultimate test would be a study where heart disease patients were put on such a diet then repeat angiograms.
Clarity is SO important ! That man explained it so clearly . Thanks very much :)
Moved to Florida, started keto, lost 40 lbs including beer belly in 3 months and got pretty ripped at 56 years old. Vlogged the whole thing beginning to end.
My brain is using carbs to tell me not to eat carbs.
I am on LCHF/keto for 2 years, It is important to enter this with a mindset of changing your lifestyle and habits that are bad and replacing them with healthier ones and keep doing it/that.
Not to mention going into LCHF slowly start with keeping your carbs under 100 grams a day. and go for healthy mix of saturated, poly and mono saturated fats that are coldpressed. and no vegetable oils. go for good quality protein sources from food or powder form
As your body learns to use the fat and protein more efficently you can decease the carbs further down the line over time.
I have been water fasting 7 days (hunger came back the 8th day) I had no hunger pain, and that thanks to this diet giving me the cellular infrastructure necessary to do the fast virturally without any hard effort.
During the water fast I made sure to be properly mineralised and have optimal electrolyte levels. (salt, calcium, potassium and magnesium)
I prepered my self like above the day before i made a 24 hour dry fast(no water drinking or eating) and during both fasting periods my mind was knife sharp and I noticed a boost in preformance at school and was full of energy. 1 day of dry fast also gave me similar results of 4 days water fast.
My body produce its glucose it need from protein while offsetting the "deficit" by using ketones and other fatty acids/trigycerides. (at the end of the fast my blood sugar levels were 1.8 of excess glucose instead of my usual 3.7. I had no headace, dissyness or balance problems and my mood was great)
Naturally my kolesterol went up to the roof. but in abscence of insulin and high levels of glucose level in the blood, virturally none of the kolesterol got oxidised (if any happens during a fast this long) in its process to transport ketones/ triglycerides to supply my body with energy it needed during the fast. and get rid of waste products to be recycled in the liver.
oxidised kolesterol , hyper glucose and insulin levels in the blood that is caused by carbs/sugars and insulin that basically lies behind the majority of all modern western deceases and complications that we are facing.

DanielPembrink so whats your diet?
Marcel Mendoza Hmm it is complicaded so I give you my daily/morning rutine instead. so you get a more complete picture.
It is not just food involved, like I said it is a fundmental lifestyle change that I have gradually built up. One good habit at a time.
I live on a keto vegetarian diet ,( since I live at my parents house so I will respect their wishes and it is a nice challenge)
I am slowly but surely transisioning to cleaner keto diet by eliminating pnuts and cashew nuts and dairy products that has the casin type 1 protein. (that is really bad) (Really focusing to optime gut bacterial flora for everyone in the family.
I am even fermenting my own foods to make delicious sauces or cold brekfast/lunch salads. that are stand alone/complete meals.
My rutine is waking 3-4 am, take the dog for a walk/run, make a leafy cruficious greens juice.
I cook breakfast that is dominated with fat and a reasonable ammount of protein. (15 or 20% daily intake)
Lunches has higer ratio of protein like 60 or 70% of the daily intake/allocation.
dinner is fat dominated again like breakfast it is a drink or meal or keto dessert. they are all a complete meal on their own right
it is mostly in dinners I really play around with different recipies
I adapt the ingredients/ ratio for the individual needs of my family members.
In my case in the morning I go for bulletproof coffe or other fatty drink with 0.20-0.25dl of whey protein. after drinking leafy green juice and green tea.
I later do 20-40 min of morning calistenic gymnastic/ excercise then wim hoff method breathing excercise with extreme morning cold and hot showers.
I later eat the rest of my breakfast and prepare the lunch boxes. and go for work.
I like to cook fatty asian inspiered like fried, soupy or steamed vegetables meals that are creamy and crunchy with exotic tastes.
with pea protein tofu or musheoom protein/tofu and some soysauce(japanese brand with none of the xeno estrogen in it)
I add essence of "meat" that the vegetables and tofu soak up the steamed flavor) or oven the vegetables that have been marinated over the night with nice flavors. ( all my meals have mushrooms cummin, chia seeds, olive oil, pumpkin and sesamy seeds added. )
I also make my own home made ghee from butter.
(I do take shourt cuts and take a portion of the breakfast and add more protein and other tasting sauces and package them in lunch boxes that goes nicely with ketogenic bread I also prepared before hand.
Absolutelly no snacking between meals and no eating after 6 pm. and trow in fast every now and then.
if you eat before sleep the blood supply will be focused in the gut inorder to digest everything you just ate when it is supposed to be in the brain and squeese the brain down like a spunge to drain/replace brain fluid or somethin along those lines.
I sleep around 5-6 hours and am full of energy for the rest of the day.
(If I do eat carbs during lunch or dinner I get sleepy so when I need to I spike my leptin i do it the morning with a bland carb like a plate with just chickpeas or lensils with salt. It can be spiked with standard ketogenic diet but using carbs is more efficent. in combination with fasting.
since I tend to over eat protein and fat, it does make me fattier and I love my food that I prepare, ( over eating a bit also builds muscle as well)
thomas delaurer acv drink in between meals is also quite nice.
DanielPembrink thanx for information!
I’m a low carb convert, but I don’t think this off the cuff presentation covers the issues properly. I went low carb for twenty years, off and more often off, than on. But I did have success with bloods when I was following the diet. My sugars were lower and my cholesterol both were lower and my triglycerides lower. What i didn’t realise was that even with low cholesterol readings my arteries could be clogged up. I never did any tests to confirm that I have to say, but apparently there are many tests which prove this.
For just one month I’ve been eating a whole food plant based diet which is primarily carb based. I’ve eaten more potatoes, white, sweet purple, in three weeks than I’ve eaten in 20yrs. My blood sugars are down. My blood pressure hasn’t changed, yet, waiting to get cholesterol results in a couple of months. I’m diabetic and have been taking pills for over ten years. What I’ve learned is that doctors have zero nutritional training, diddly squat and the best they can ever do is tell you to loose weight. But they are clueless about how to do it. None of them understand that the diabetic problem can’t be sorted with pills and insulin, so they forget the pills and insulin only treat the symptoms, not the cause. Using diet to treat the cause helps to reverse diabetes. Low carb diets don’t reverse diabetes, pills and insulin don’t reverse diabetes, they just stop the blood sugars rising sometimes and if you’re lucky might even lower blood sugar levels but not for ever, whole food plant based diets do reverse diabetes. Do lower blood sugar levels.
Dr Mills is clever does understand but I’m wondering if he doesn’t practise what he preaches, he’s chubby isn’t he!

For every diet or WOE (way-of-eating), I've ever been on, Low Carb, remains the best, most effective one for both losing weight AND feeling great. I'm not against carbs as I get most of them from veggies.This notion that Low Carbers don't eat veggies / plants is ridiculous. We do. And furthermore, there isn't a more whole foods way of eating out there, than Low Carb.
Thanks for this information! I'm recently vegan and I eat whole grains only. I eat about 4 servings of fruit and I'm forcing myself to eat more veggies.
Excess protine turns into sugar the brain can use. There is no essential carb. There are essential fats. Keto has proven that it is possible to run on a high fat moderate protine and low carb diet. Not only do you loss weight but the mental clarity and QOL improves. On a side note, fiber high foods is not bad even on a low carb diet since it does not effect your insulin levels.
So "whatever God made eat it"
"Whatever man makes leave it"
Got it.
God is good.
And I have yet to fall into a keto induced coma 😂
What they don't talk about is low carb high fat. And how our brain can use ketones and how if our bodies need we can turn protein into sugar. That's what I don't like about the vid. They compare their perspective to low carb and say look ours is the way to go instead of comparing it to the keto option and acknowledging ketones uses in the body.
@@jordanzakery9296 yeah bacon and cheese is the way forward!
This man has really gave me this information and really broke it down in the most mundane level were I can understand believe and become motivated to be a vegan and learn how to survive by eating healthy carbs by far the best explanation on the topic I have seen
Keondre Williams watch dr jason fueng
Dr. Mills explains everything so well. Very impressive that a medical professional can speak to lay people.
Priceless Stated!!
This Dr. isn't wrong on how many people in the U.S. turn to refined over whole carbs for fuel. But the brain does not always need glycogen (a by-product of carbs). In fact, for folks with epilepsy, doctors will almost always suggest the patient adopts a Ketogenic Diet (Low Carb, Moderate Protein, High fat).
Instead of worrying over which diet is best, or which macronutrient is most essential. Research suggests that anyone adopting a keto, paleo, vegan, or no regimen would benefit from eating Whole nutrition Foods (fruits, vegetables, organic grass-fed meats, low/no mercury fish, etc). Furthermore, fat loss requires more than just a diet. Controlling hormones through exercise, sleep, engaging in activities that produce (FLOW - the scientific term for being in-the-zone, happy, fully-engaged and immersed in a task for a period of time), and more
Reversed type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure with keto, carnivore and intermittent fasting. When I was plant based and vegan.. I got an infection in my intestinal track and was in the hospital for 4 days. The starch based diet was poison for me.
The idea that our natural state is a diet devoid of one of the most abundant nutrients found in countless foods, is ridiculous.
That food source is also the least nutrient accessible food that we eat. We don't have the cellulase enzyme required to breakdown the cellulose plant cell membrane(wall) to access the micro-nutrients contained within them. I bet your vegan information never told you that.
yet..We do have the readily accessible ability to breakdown cholesterol which is what animals use for their cell membranes. So eating animal organs gives us incredibly rich and easy access to nutrients that the animal with the enzyme was eating and able to absorb.
Or just juice it, which ever/both.
@Xavier Last time I checked we are not eating burdock nor grass, funny how your 'natural' meat based diet is only possible with variety of advanced tools - you are in no way shape or form naturally meant to consume animals - only because our brain grew fast giving us variety of tools and in your case crazy ideas - does not mean we are supposed to eat and behave in such a way
I’d love to see a debate between this doctor and Dr. Ken Berry or Dr. Jason Fung.
That's just cruel, he'd probably start crying. Lol
@Craig Roy and your a broke ass gas station that only sells cigarettes. This doctor Is spitting facts, your just angry he’s not telling you what you want to hear. By the way why try to restrict yourself from these amazing foods. Instead fucking try balancing your diet.
I agree that the quality of the carbs matter, but I’m not sure if I’m sold on “the amount of carbs don’t matter” concept. Personally, my body does not lose weight if I consume too many carbs but I have more energy when I eat carbs. So I think it’s about finding a balance for yourself and focusing on high quality carbs.
@Chanel Harper I, too, agree that the quality of the carbs makes a difference.
What's sad is reading through the comments, all these "keto" followers are quick to down on Dr. Mills, but clearly didn't even watch the video (and definitely didn't watch with an open mind).
I've had a ketogenic lifestyle for a couple of years and have done extensive research on the subject and I will say much of the info this doctor is saying is very true. However, there are certain things he has covered which are not. And I merely put it down to a lack of knowledge/research. I'm not at all putting him down and laud him for sharing what he has learnt. But he doesn't know everything. If you watch every other health influencer/MD etc they all get things wrong. That is why you have to do your own research. It's all well and good having these "experts" at your fingertips but do your own research as you also have the necessary information at your fingertips
This doctor clearly doesn’t know what he’s talking about. A human’s body creates its own glycogen once in starvation mode (ketosis). It’s not bad to eat certain carbs but you do not need to, especially on the Keto diet. A high fat low carb diet or intermittent fasting is best for brain function.
KETO is awesome I've lost weight not hungry as much my fitness is improved dramatically. Dr Berg i thank you 🙂
Yeah screw this fatass!!
Keto diet is totally wrong. I almost ended up in the ER. I had joint pains, back pains,fatigue, memory problems. The brain consume sugars as the main source. Ketone bodies are secondary and not giving much energy as glucose. The right way is a diet with moderate whole grains consumption, little fats and a lot of vegetables. The Dr is absolutely right. Btw there are medical studies demonstrating high mortality in people doing keto low carbs diet.

Just because Dr Mills doesn’t in my opinion deliver the best intro to why low carbs are not the best diet choice doesn’t mean the point isn’t correct. He’s a doctor not a tv presenter so give him a break. . Dr Neal Barnard is pretty damn good at presenting facts and info as well as being a doctor, so check out his vids if you’re unsure
people claim that low carb diets are ideal for weight loss... and that's not false but at what cost? in the long run, you want to invest on your health and make it a sustainable lifestyle change that can support you as a whole, not a quick fix! Great video Tino thanks! keep it up!
Daniela Botero Concha What exactly makes a low carb diet unhealthy..?
Any vitamins, minerals and fiber your body needs you get from all the healthy veggies, seeds, oils and meats that are part of a low carb diet. There is no such thing as an 'essential carb'. People really have a skewed view of what a ketogenic diet is. There is nothing unhealthy about it. Triglycerides are lowered, blood pressure is lowered, HDL is raised, hormones are balanced, insulin is lowered, obesity is cured, chronic inflammation and diseases that go along with it are reduced, managed and even cured. I fail to see what the downside here is. People have been so brainwashed over the decades it is very sad. Do your research. Luckily many healthy practitioners, medical doctors, nutritionists and dieticians are realizing how much misinformation we've been fed over the decades and are coming around to seeing the truth about what the ketogenic diet can do.
For everyone wondering, here's an MD and a PhD (whose not obese by the way) who has been SPECIFICALLY using and recommending the ketogenic diet for decades

At 52 years old ive been doing low carb high fat for about 2 years with amazing results
Im in the best shape of my life
Low cholesterol
Completely norman blood pressure and blood sugar level
Better brain function and memory
Im sleeping better and have more energy
I have always been a runner but now i can run longer and faster and less issues with injury and imflammation
My sports physician has been monitoring my bloods and other tests and all the key markers show im in really good shape
I was sceptical at first but my results speak for themselves
Im never hungry and basically eat as much as i want as long as its doesnt contain processed carbs and sugar
My body and brain is fueled by ketones rather than glucose from carbohydrates
This is not a quick fix it is a long term way of eating
People should not be so quick to judge things that they do not understand
Vitamins and aminoacids are escential, sugar and carbs are not that important!
I vote in favor of a low Carb diets. No denying they work for weight loss Has worked for me and down 43lbs in 5 months. The only time I have carbs are in their whole forms and avoid eating them in conjunction with fats and protein. Meaning my main big meals are carb free yet I’ll eat a fruit or vegetable as an individual snack in between.
The doctor refers to studies that show low carb diets are unhealthy. Could you please cite those studies? Thanks!
I lost 70 pounds in under 1 year on a high carb non-gmo whole food plant based diet.

Soul in the Raw potatoes are great because they are good energy and have just the right amount of protein that we need unlike many foods that have too much protein. Protein is the most significant factor for reduced longevity.
Purple potatoes >>>>
You should try baked potato sandwich with golden potatoes. So quick to cook! So good, too.
Think color when you think of your foods. White food products are primarily not nutritious especially processed foods that end product is white.
Your body does NOT need dietary carbohydrates because guess what ... it can and does create it's own carbs! Your brain can also run on ketones which are in fact a better fuel source.
Just like religion, people who have been fed the wrong info all their lives will believe what they were taught with unabashed ignorance.
Some will even believe the new & improved nonsense they see on low-carb YT channels.

He obviously doesn't understand gluconeogenesis! Your body makes it's own and doesn't need any carbohydrate. Would agree that sugar and refined carbs are the devil.

I just proved most of what he said in this video. We had to evacuate for the hurricane and were lucky enough to find a studio apt out of state with an apartment sized kitchen. So, I grabbed the food from our home fridge/freezer and loaded coolers to bring with us so that I didn't have to throw it all out. When we got here, I started cooking up all of the veggies and made soup or salads almost daily. Towards the end, we were running out of food and so I didn't want to go and buy more food that we would have to take back with us in case we didn't have electricity when we got back. So we had to resort to restaurants and fast food which we normally don't consume. I felt healthy for the first part of the week. When we had to switch to restaurants/fast foods, well....we are leaving tomorrow and I am not feeling that great. We still have another night stopover on the road and I am concerned about how I will feel once I am at home. If we don't have electricity and the grocery stores are empty, we will have to resort to canned goods and some of my dehydrated veggies. I am so glad that I dehydrated some food as it will come in handy and it is pure food without additives. One more thing is that I found that I was feeling weird and took my BP only to find that it had gone up after eating out so much. Our bodies are not used to consuming so much salt. I use a lot of herbs in place of salt. All of the restaurant salty food has played havoc on me. So....this man speaks the truth.
im diabetic and Doc is right i switched to whole foods plant based and lentils ,beans and hummus is my religion , whole carbs almost every meal combined with a wide variety of vegetable, greens and exercise and my blood sugar is stable and within a normal range. no meds for now either . Our bodies are designed to burn carbs, hes making a lot of sense it is the optimal fuel.
No they're not. We were designed to eat meat, thats what our gut is made for digesting. The body can make glucose from protein and fats. Glucose is extremally easy for the body to make. Hes wrong.
@@XXXmar123 Buddy you tell yourself whatever lie you want to justify your carnivore diet, Whole plant based is the most ideal for the body and its a FACT of life while i experienced the benefits myself in under 6 months so im talking from experience not theory . The doc isnt not wrong, you are my friend and the fact that your are here listening means you are somewhat opened minded and looking for a change or you just here trolling people that are looking alternative possibilities because the old ways werent working for them .
Good day and good luck with your healthy keto diet i hope it solves your problems and gives you longevity .
@@NoGimmicks144 I eat keto, i eat lots of vegetables, meat and fat. There's carbs in vegetables. I just know i dont need carbs because you dont. Carbs dont have any nutrition in them. 0, none. You can eat them if you like, but you dont need them. Thats what hes wrong about. You can go the rest of your life without them, they are simply easily metabolized energy. Energy is a really simple thing the body can make. Hes wrong, sorry. If he was right, fasting would be impossible...
The reason you feel better on a whole plant diet is probably because you cleaned up your diet and assumed it was because yiu eliminated meat. Maybe you feel better because you fixed your eating, not necessarily from excluding meat.
@@XXXmar123 carbs have no nutrition!? hmm mkaay .
Energy and food comes in a from of 3 distinct micronutrients, protein a chain amino acids , fats in the form of triglicerides and free fatty acids, and carbs which take the form of SIMPLE and COMPLEX sugars . these 3 are very different, the body processes them differently ,stores them differently and even burns them in a specific order , look it up , its a fact and youll understand what an important role carbohydrates have within our bodies.
And YES the reason im feeling better is because i cleaned up meat,dairy and processed foods out of my diet .
Again Good Luck with whatever approach you choose .
@@NoGimmicks144 carbs or sugars arent essential nutrients, the others you listed are. Can you list one essential nutrient that comes from carbohydrates? Sugar isnt one. Glucose can be made by the body easily, it does not need to ingest these via catbohydrates. Its too bad you actually think you're right and are so close minded, most vegans are though. You can eat carbs if you like, they just arent essential, you can live without them indefinitely. Its a fact. I used to think just as you do btw, i just learnt the truth.
"Its easier to fool someone, then convince them they've been fooled." Im gonna stop replying because you're just one of those people.
Fiber offsets carbs ya dummies. That’s what drs saying.
There are actual studies that prove fiber isn't even needed. That if you dont intake carbs theres is no need for fiber. Actually read studies instead of listening to these money hungry idiots on youtube. There are government studies that prove in the society we live in today carbs aren't necessary for most people.
zombiezey I like to dump with ease. You do what you want bro.
James jones you’re right. Fiber is needed and honestly ever since I’m on a plantbased diet my bowel movements have been amazing
@@TheeWatonn The government are money hungry idiots. And the brain runs on carbs, you cannot live without them. Facts.

Thought this was key and peele skit! This has to be a joke! Keto saved my life!
Exactly
exactly because you were fucked by simple sugars, for some reason the doctor is saying they are not good, but you are better as better would be someone that having his water contaminated with arsenic for a long time starts using beer instead of water or as someone would sleep better in the park grass in December after a long time of trying to sleep with the noisest neighbors in the world. Don't drink beer, don't sleep in the park try very complex carbs, like whole oat, rice, and good beans. (avoiding from fruit to soda and juices) google macrobiotics and don't get content with a life saved, get an excellent life!!! (I promise)
ive tried what he is talking about and it got me no where and i found my self more hungry. sorry but keto has literally saved me from being over weight the rest of my life AND not to mention having to worry about developing any sort of issues like diabetes, now that i have lost 105lbs and am down to a healthy weight i am now starting to bulk up. it sounds like FDA taught bs to me. but who am i.
It seems like so many people embrace keto-like diets to lose weight. They do not see how unhealthy these diets are. Whole food plant-based diet is the way to go to live a healthy lifestyle. Dr. Miles is right.
I love Doctor. Mill may God bless you and preserve you while you pass on this knowledge and wisdom ... you are a blessing to nations
Listen to him at 66 years old today. My Doctor told me he practice medicines for over 30 years. He never seen organs clean as mine today I am on no medicines!! Just goes for yearly checkup!!
There is no such thing as an essential carb. That's just science. The more you know.
i would like to see what the doctor eats on a daily basis!!
No Animals meats or Dairy products since he was 16 years old!!
@@marywhite1906 Although I'm vegetarian, I'm surprised to read this.
He doesn't eat animal food, hence why he looks bloated. Use your eyes people.
@@nicolausthothmes2325 look at the stomach of the doctor plant based food really keep your waistline down .lol not.
You are all negating the randle cycle. 2 ways to engage it: HCLF or LCHF without causing inflammation. BUT we make our own glucose on demand from fats and CAN'T get essential fats from glucose. So HCLF dieters are slowly deprived of essential fat soluble vitamins. Your choice
I think some of y’all are not understanding what this PROFESSIONAL DR is saying, rather then just talking about loosing weight he is telling you the scientific reasons of why you SHOULD be considerate of keeping WHOLE carbs and fiber in your diet. He’s not just talking about loosing weight 🙄 but it seems like that’s all anyone ever cares about rather than their over all health hints the KETO diet approaches...
Eat yams, sweet potatoes ( different family of plant ), and much less low fibre foods in general. Polished rice has very little nutritional content.
Most vegans out there are just sugar addicts. I too was one, then realized how mistaken I was. Keto + IF saved me from serious metabolic damage. Steady energy throughout the day with no cravings is truly amazing.
Bananiac shook his head up and down over 200 times lol🤣
😭😭😭😭😭
Sugar, processed foods & simple carbs are the enemies, whole foods & whole grains are the way forward. I follow a sort of Ketogenic diet, low in carbs but I'm not strict to the extent that I will not eat carbs at all but I am very mindful of what carbs I put in my body. I did stop eating carbs "rice, pasta, potatoes, bread the works, a few years ago; I did it for 6 months straight & lost 4 stones in weight, along with minimal exercise, basically walking & some weight lifting, which was great for what I was trying to achieve at the time. Sugar, on the other hand, is a complete "no-no" I've also shied away using honey, maple syrup & Agave but I do use Stevia.
What's ironic is ill get messages from vegans bashing me from losing over 100lbs and reversing my insulin resistance and coming off medication and healing my chronic inflamation via low carb or keto
They leave me messages about
- your still fat ( yeah I'm still working at it, it doesn't happen over night)
- I should die for eating meat ( wishing harm upon me for eating animal meat )
- tell me to fuck off and I'm this and that ( every name in the book )
** what's ironic is : your interviewing an unhealthy overweight doctor and ( according to vegans who have attacked ME personally people shouldn't listen to me even though I've been studying nutrition 9 years ( no degree just a passion) and people are supposed to take advice from this overweight doctor your interviewing?!?! ) seems very contradicting.
One thing im glad you clarified is what I have been saying all along that I'm constantly being told im wrong especially on vegan channels when i try to network and learn and communicate is
sugar and refined carbohydrates cause the inflammatory issues we expierience or deal with daily plus a number of health conditions.
I definately see some value here
This doctor does not understand the science behind carb diet. I have been limiting carbs to 20 grams per day, down 25 pounds, brain is fine working on mostly ketones.
P Edgett
Well done friend.
May I ask how long it took you to lose that 25 pounds?
Do you eat only two meals per day?
@@barackthecomposer6642 3 months to lose 25 pounds. Most days I eat 2 meals, maybe another small snack. The greatest thing about it is that I'm rarely hungry. My fat intake is usually over 75 grams, protein about 60 grams and carbs 20 grams. Off all meds for gastric reflux and joint pain.
P Edgett
Excellent information.
Thank you.
I eliminated carbs and I feel better than ever !!
Everything has carbs dumbass.every plant has carbs.u have 3. Simple,complex, refined. Stick with one and two.cos at the end of the day, humans get all their food from plants, animals or both. Do whatever the fuck u want.
marvin ezekiel lol u mad bro?
@@Edd0614 you ate carbs and suddenly ur body cannot metabolise carbs effectively like before and u blame the carbs. the same carbs you been eating since u where a child. So if ur body cannot metabolise carbs effectively, what is the cause. The carbs(what type of carbs)?, Now people scream sugar in bread(I get it) but bread is a composite of sugar, heavy saturated fat, butter,eggs cheese and boom it's the sugar. If u develop intramyocellular lipids, how did the fat storage come up so fast.? Is it the carbs, so where does the hidden fat combined with the carbs go?? Man get the fuck out of here. All longest living climes didn't practice any diet. They ate natural native traditional foods unique to their environment and it was STARCH largely for those who had access to it.
Most Africans naturally don't eat a lot of meat and yet have better stamina.... Indians mostly don't eat meat yet function alright.
Ang Aur That’s not what I heard, Africans love meats they are culturally meat based cultures and there is nothing wrong with that it’s the manufactured stuff that causes sickness in humans.
@@waydewatson5720 heard?, haha you so sweet. I never said they hated it. Plus loving something doesn't meant you over indulge....
I think this video is a little biased. I have been eating low carb for a few months. I must say my mental clarity and mental health have never been better. There was a lot of good information in the video. It's a little misinformed in that the assumption is a low-carb means an animal-based diet. I eat about 10 cups of green leafy vegetables per day and very many healthy fats. They have carbs, but they are fibrous and full of micronutrients. I think that science is evolving every day. To call low-carb "foolishness" is a little premature.
This doctor is a comedy goldmine. I love the editing bananiac does to try and make him seem coherent.
The things he says are not true at all. The brain loves ketones (fat).
As noted he's obese. This is proof his diet isn't healthy. Blaming lack of exercise is a lie. I never exercise yet maintain a healthy weight eating as much meat as I can.
Despite the low quality of information I will click videos like this in the future to enjoy the unintentional humour!
Meat? Wow thats the comedy
Dr. Milton Mills is a Beast who knows his stuff. Thank you for the knowledge.
a fat beast
The basis of the doctor's argument of the necessity of carbs, that the brain runs on glucose, doesn't account for ketones.
Ketosis is literally brain starvation , lol. Enjoy starving yourself.
@@kevinmathew4884 either you know something about how ketones function that i don't (if so i'd like an explanation because that's counterintuitive to the information i looked up when i cared about this), or you don't know what you're talking about. the brain uses ketones in lieu of glucose - iirc, ketones are actually more effective. but i only did keto for like 2 weeks, it's too much hassle for me to stick to long term.
So imagine a plate of chicken, rice, and brocolli for every meal... if you skip the rice, your brain will shrivel up and die?
Rice is a carb, so no, however, if you only eat chicken and broccoli you will definitely lose weight if your portions are within a normal range.
Idk what this guy is talking about..I eat alot of carbs and such....and when i took my A1C I become type 2.
I went on a Carb diet because my diet is why i became type 2 diabetic. Just switching to low carb diet i was able to
lose weight, control my sugar level from 280+ down to 110 average, and my A1C test came out that im no longer type 2
diabetic.
So idk what this guy is saying but me doing a 30g carb a day has worked for me.
I’m very worried about my mom cause I know she is trying the low carb high fat keto diet, and today she heard about bad things that happen when you restrict your carbs on keto but she said I don’t care I’m staying away from sugar and high carbs. So worrisome to say the least.
How's your mom doing on low carbs
How is your mother doing on the low carb diet?
Yes! Whole Foods! Plant based, not exactly vegan! The ratio of foods is an individual need, and varies daily and season to season.
My co-worker just started a low carb diet. I wanted to know if they truly work. After watching this video, I see that my brain needs plant based carbs. This video is very informative and helpful. Im starting to eat healthier and this really sparked truth about what i need to do. The info about the russets vs the yukon gold potatoes I never knew. Thanks for the post.
How's your vegan diet going?
@@jorgecarrejo I'm still a work In progress lol. However this year I'm getting it together. Thanks for asking
@@MH-fv1ib in 4 years of doing a vegan diet you're still a work in progress? I think that means that it didn't work for you..
Just a thought.. Maybe it's time to ignore this obese doctor and try something else? Keto or carnivore? Maybe check out Dr Shawn Baker MD.. And see the difference in how they look.. He kinda proves that carbs are not necessary.. Just a thought..
Thanks for this video this was very informative. I can tell you both have a passion for what you are speaking of.
Catch him by himself, and he'll go in on some [REAL] sh*t that strictly pertains to us, and why we shouldn't follow "their" poor diet routines because their system is wired differently from ours.
Watched your vid about low carb diets. A little over a year ago i (pretty much) quit eating grains. I still eat my old fashioned oats 4-5 days/week, 1/4 cup enhanced with non-hydrogynated pb. fruits, plain nf yogurt, cinnamon and almond milk. I'm an ovo-lacto-pescaterian. To date i've lost 77 lbs dropped my A1C 2.5 points and have a daily glucose reading in the pre-diabetic range. I am diabetic and also have A-Fib. Why was there no reference to the carbs in fruits and vegetables only potatoes? I do agree vehemently that as much pre-packaged, processed food be taken out of our diets as possible. This I also did. Good vid.
I am a type 2 diabetic. As a retired RN, I have taken care of a lot of diabetics as well. I don't follow a keto diet, I do follow a low carb diet, and most of the carbs I do eat are real foods like potatoes. My A1C stays between 6.0 to 6.4. I know that could be lower, that is after 10 years on Metformin with 3 dosage changes and no other diabetic meds or insulin. Keto recipes are great for desserts and breads, especially using nut flour/meat to bake with. Low carb is better for people who are carb sensitive and not just diabetic
