I was quite surprised that you didn't jump on Dr. Lustig's comment that cutting out fiber will cause your gut bacteria to start consuming your gut's mucosal lining, causing leaky gut and other problems. Being carnivore, I find that statement quite frightening. I had never heard that before, and I'm just wondering if you have any thoughts on that. And if it actually does cause consumption of the gut's mucosal lining, is that a temporary thing until that type of bacteria die it out? I would appreciate any insight you might have on this. Thank you.
My 94 year old mother is in memory care at a nursing home. It’s amazing she’s lived as long as she has. My parents ate the standard American lo fat diet since the 70’s when dad had triple bypass at 50. Dad continued with heart disease treatments and statins and mom had chronic high blood pressure their entire adults lives. They also developed dementia in their mid 80’s. They start off every meal in memory care with juice….heavy carbohydrate diet like spaghetti. Always follows with dessert of some kind. It’s just shocking that the mainstream health industry insists on being blind to the truth.
It makes them more money. Follow the money. The sugary starchy foods are cheaper. We've been lied to. I started eating fat and it's wonderful - $1.50 a pound. That's not all that I eat but it makes the little bit of protein so much cheaper at $6 a pound. They probably put your mother on a statin because her cholesterol levels are high. That's a lie. The statins are most likely the culprit behind the memory difficulties. People actually live longer with higher cholesterol. It's the sugars that cause problems for our arteries.
I agree. I have been in assisted living care for the last 8 months. I have been fed an unhealthy diet as you said. High carb, fried foods covered in heavy batter and sugary desserts. The nurses and physical therapists have been excellent and I have recovered my strength. I am moving out into an apartment where I will have control over meals. Hopefully, Robert Kennedy Jr will bring some needed changes.
Not that juice in and of itself does not have it's sugars. Yet, juice from concentrate is more common these days, and so few even know the difference. "My people shall perish because of lack of knowledge" saith the LORD.
My Dr. ordered A1C and the results were 6.0, my Doc said it was normal-no problem, just sent me to a cardiologist for high blood pressure. 2 years later and after Keto for 5 months, A1C is now 5.4 and no high blood pressure. I thank God for showing me Keto.
Congratulations! Please share what you ate for the day on keto I need to lose weight around my tummy. I have insulin resistance and need get rid of the weight. I cannot eat too much salads because I cannot digest it fast enough
@@NansGlobalKitchenzzz I follow the meals on the Beat Diabetes UA-cam channel-give it a try! I got rid of all carbs in my cuppords and don’t eat bread, pasta, grains, potatoes, crackers, etc, as well as no sugar and only berries for fruit.
My story so far. Over three months into the carnivore diet with daily intermittent fasting, and the results are life-changing! Here are my numbers: * Weight: Down 30 pounds * Blood Pressure: Improved from 139/90 to 123/73 * Glucose Levels: Dropped from 123 mg/dL to 102 mg/dL * Ketones: Now at 3.0 mmol/L * GKI (Glucose Ketone Index): 1.8 This combination has truly transformed my health and my life!
@@janiemiller825 I'm not tracking. I eat ribeyes, bacon, eggs, and lots of butter. I eat until I'm full, and this may be one or two meals a day within a six-hour window.
Here’s my results: Body shape more toned - the puckered buttocks gone (cellulite?) I stay slim and still getting slimmer - on keto I cheated on fruit and had more cheat days or cheat evenings due to cravings so constant yo yoing Eye floaters gone (I assume that’s a good thing) No pre-period weepiness or micro private mini rages Period cramping now 1-2 hours only and very very mild (used to be 2 days and needed painkillers three times a day) No migraine (unless I do a water fast - I’m a tea addict) I used to have what I called hormonal migraine once a month and lasted 24-36 hours. Bleeding gums stopped - I’d thought it was either normal because of tooth brushes or my technique was wrong. I only wee once a night now - was 2-3 minimum When I get post intimacy cystitis (albeit less now than when I was younger desp it more now) it clears up within 2-3 hours - all my life it 2-3 days and sometimes needed meds and time off work. My general mental resilience at work and with family issues better - I don’t crumble inside when I’m challenged with something. My work productivity better - I wouldn’t say I had brain fog but my performance as an employee exceeds most colleagues now - I used to feel in a boss’s eyes I was above average but never outstanding in any form.
@@caroliner1901another very inspirational story! Thank you!🎉 I have a slender plant based friend who only eats meat when she goes to fast food once or twice a month. Or she buys frozen health meals, too, with a few ounces animal protein. I don't think she likes fresh veg. Small salad once in a while. Otherwise, processed crap. And rice, which she loves. Very slender and conscious of weight. But her skinny butt has cellulose. She HATES IT. I often wondered if diet could eliminate this, or at least help. She would never eat more meat, and definitely no red meat for fear of cancer.
About seven years ago, I lost my insurance. I was on 60 units of insulin and a book. The blood sugar solution had just come out. I couldn’t get that book. It wasn’t at the library at the time. So I started testing my blood sugar after I ate something. I began to eliminate the foods that raised my blood sugar. And slowly lowering the insulin when I was able to have insurance again my doctor put me on metformin I had lost to about 140 pounds and I am now 120 pounds with no medication. When people ask me what my diet is I just say it’s the diet that I Came on by testing. But it is very much like a keto carnivore kind of combination. My physical and mental health has been incredibly better. I am absolutely delighted with Dr. Chris Palmer and his use of real food/ keto and I am not such a fan of pharmaceuticals
I'm slender and realized a few months ago by my own due diligence that I am metabolicly unhealthy. My fasting blood sugar was 5.7, and when I questioned the doctor she "you are perfectly healthy". I never saw her again. I have spent 2 months intermittent fasting and only eating organic whole foods, only water and strength training. I've strength trained for 35 years, but have been eating way too much sugar. I can no longer eat any sugar. But feel a bit better every day.
I thought and was told I needed fibre for 40 years On carnivore 9 months irritable bowel and other digestion problems gone I am 75 years …. Back to weight and health and energy .. that I I had at 25…also Diabeties gone …. Very happy ‘girl’
@@judythomas1050 that so good! I wish my family members with constipation would try it. One aunt did it for about 4 days, got relief then went on low fibre still thinking that she needs some. She’s 75 and suffered with constipation since her teens. It’s so hard to stay out of the matrix.
The fiber myth is deeply set into our brains. Just like other lies ex. "food pyramid", "breakfast is the most important meal of the day", low fat, margarine, "plant based", etc. I was brought up with all of them, some of those lies I learned in biology class! Kid you not. Carnivore and OMAD took care of almost all the health issues! 🙂
This is now the second person, the first one being Dr William Davis, who says that eliminating carbohydrate fiber will make our body eat the mucosal lining of our intestine. As carnivores is this then happening to us?
I agree fiber is not for everyone. I got rid of my dreadful gut issues when I got rid of fiber. If I eat veg or whole grains it comes back with a vengeance. No toilet issues at all now.
I have so much respect for this man, and I speak as a retired nurse. I would also suggest having Dr Mariela Glandt on as a guest. She is an exceptionally brilliant endocrinologist!
I am a retired nurse also. This has been known for decades about sugar causing illnesses/cancers. I am so grateful some doctors are talking about it instead of cashing in on it.
I am having Prediabetis, High Glucose, Fatty Liver, High Blood, Overweight, IBS, High LDL... Now I started tons of Medication. Also Started on Carnivore diet (Pork, Chicken, Beef & Butter), also drank Apple Cider Vinegar every mornings, 2 half boiled eggs daily. Cheated many times (hard to be pure). This is 14 Jan I will post my results in 3 months. Will get my health back.
@Pgan803 in wishing you the very best. By 3 weeks you should be really noticing improvements. I'm 6 months now and totally respect lifestyle this approach.
15:44 Alcohol and Fructose: "There are two things that we as Americans are exposed to pretty consistently that generate liver fat and therefore insulin resistance at the level of the liver and they are alcohol and fructose."
I used to do a lot of training at work, both with employees and customers (tech support) and I found that MOST people don't learn from being given information in the form of facts but they do learn when you give the same information in the form of an analogy. I use this a LOT. This past weekend I was speaking with a friend. Both her and her husband are morbidly obese and diabetic. He is NOT doing well and TBH I'm really worried about him. She is as well so she was asking me all sorts of questions about my weight and diet. I used an analogy that I THINK actually sunk in and was meaningful. I told her that thallium is a toxic metal and thallium poisoning WILL kill you. But there is a reasonably innocuous substance that is the antidote: Prussian blue. A pigment used for paint for a LONG time. I compared it with glucose and insulin and basically asked her if she kept eating thallium and it kept making her sick was it reasonable to just keep ingesting Prussian blue or would it be better to stop eating the thallium in the first place? I told her to think of carbs as thallium and insulin as Prussian blue and asked her to HONESTLY think about if it makes sense to continue to ingest the toxin that is literally killing her and her husband and then inject themselves with the antidote OR would it make more sense to stop ingesting the poison in the first place meaning there would be no need for the antidote. She actually got it. I don't know if he did but even if someone understands it that does not mean they will actually DO anything to stop the behaviours. People have been brainwashed to just do what their doctor says and take the meds they tell them to take for no other reason than the dr went to school for a few years. But they rarely, if ever, question if what that dr was taught was correct and that MAYBE the dr is just unknowingly passing along the same wrong info they were force fed.
Dr. Lustig, you have profoundly changed my life. You gave me the "Why" that I was searching for that none of my doctors knew or they weren't telling me. Thank you for caring enough to take the time to give so many people a chance to regain our health. For this I am forever grateful. God Bless you sir.
Thank you so much, Dr. Lustig, for all you did and are doing to campaign against excess intake of sugar/fructose. Wish young medical students would go out of their way to gain more knowledge beyond what is taught or required in their academic training, like you did. Truly, you're a hero.
Interesting interview, thank you Rina. One observation: Dr Lustig warns us about anything highly processed as a bad product and not fit to be eaten, which I agree with. Then he says seed oils are okay to use. Aren't seed oils unnaturally concentrated products using an extremely high process to produce? I once had to work outside near a margarine factory. The smell from that FACTORY was nauseating and gave me a headache. I was brought up a butter eater and remain that way.
I remember reading somewhere that the French, who love their butter, couldn't get enough fresh butter to their troops while fighting all over Europe. So Napoleon got chemists to come up with a butter substitute for his men. Initially it was colored black, but then "colored" yellow as no-one would eat it. Fun fact if true!
Dr Lustig is the best of the best! My life and health has completely turned around because of his sharing of this vital knowledge. I've never been healthier after being in very grave danger. Thank you, Dr Lustig!
I love my youtube doctors ! I have been able to help so many just by sharing with follow up discutions. It has even even taken place of board games. Thank you! Thank you!! The battle for truth is real!!
Thank you Dr Lastig for an excellent lecture. This is the first time that I understand insulin resistance so well after so many lectures before. Your lecture is the best. Dr Rapiti Cape Town.
@@rodneymoore2044😂😂 I have a friend who tried keto for 3 months. She said with all that fat, she had severe diarrhea for 3 months. She gave it up and will never go back. It doesnt work for everyone, I guess.
33:40 "but kids aren't drinking alcohol is there some chemical that's acting like alcohol and so I pulled out my biochemistry textbook from 35 years earlier and I went to the page on alcohol and there it is and there's how alcohol is metabolized and I turned the page and there's fructose and I looked and I went wait a second: they're the same."
With all due respect..Seed oils are likely the problem for people today with metabolic dysfunction Follow Dr. Mercola Sugar and carbs aren’t the problem Anything in access is the problem.. Too many carbs =bad Not enough carbs = bad Moderation is key Stop eating processed foods Eat mostly whole ripe raw organic foods to get your health back 🌅
Hardly, for instance fructose can be converted to glucose and used to produce glycogen, alcohol cannot. Alcohol produces toxic intermediaries like acetaldehyde that give hangover and damage the liver where fructose does not. Pretty much the only similarity is both alcohol and fructose if taken in excess can contribute to NAFLD but excess saturate fat consumption will also result in fatty liver so the key word common to all dietary issues is "excess" 👍.
@@888jucu But, easy to consume alcohol or fructose to excess. Both are addictive. Saturated fat - not addictive, and very satiating. So, you don't want to over consume - now no fatty liver!
Awesome, and thanks for the comprehensive explanation of the insulin resistance, a topic I was looking for everywhere. The fructose is interesting and no wonder why not available in the grocery stores.

its b-cus we have pour soil in amerika, no nutrients or somethings like this, minerals not present, calcium and dioxide 4-12 poor I was often told by my cousinds the smart medical persona that travels the world and has 3 homes and steal my GF when I was 23....
I eat it daily and love it.😋 I feel so good; it is probably very nutritious. I render it myself. I get it from local ecological farm. And yes, it is good for high temperatures but not recommended.
Lena, excellent podcast as usual. Great job. I must agree to disagree with one major thing that. Dr. Lustig states about fiber which goes against many other Carnivore doctors. That is that we need fiber, especially for our microbiome. I completely disagree with that. I’ve been Carnivore for almost 4 years and have healed my gut and don’t have any issues. There are cultural tribes, such as the Inuit and Swahili tribes that are basically whole foods, seafood and meat eating cultures that don’t have Microbiome issues and they have zero fiber. I would like to know what you and your followers think about this. Doctors Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry, dr. Elizabeth Bright, and Dr. Robert Kiltz all have stated that we do not need fiber at all just to name a few. I also disagree with him in regards to seed the oils, especially if you cook with any of them above 220° or use them and reuse them they become rancid.
@@gregorygoldbarth7464 I second this, I would really like to hear someone asking this question to dr Lustig who I respect but as a layman disagree on this subject
I have IBS and totally agree with this. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started eating lower carb, then KETO and eventually mostly carnivore. The lower I went on fiber the better my IBS symptoms were. The IBS symtoms are completely gone on a zero fiber diet.
Thanks for a great guest, Rina! I've watched a lot of videos like that and have to say that Dr. Lustig gives one of the most scientifically grounded opinions on a diet that also correlate with my own experience. We started on a carnivore journey over a year ago and have been strict carnivores for about 6 months, but now we are on a very low carb diet with less than 30g of carbs per day. However, along with getting rid of most of the carbs in our diet, that we were never super heavy on anyway, we also eliminated alcohol, and I always suspected that it may have been not elimination of carbs that gave us the most radical health improvements, but elimination of alcohol, and dr. Lustig confirmed that suspicion! I will look at his product Monch Monch fiber and will lookup his other interviews as a lot of what he says makes perfect sense.
Dr Roberts is pretty awesome. I'm just learning about health I've had problems and I've had to start changing my diet I'm 61 I just went off all my medication if I listen to my doctor I would die I was on statins and blood thinners started losing my hair been really weak now I feel really strong but started exercising.
Ummm… ZERO fiber for me! Carbs and fiber caused LOTS OF PROBLEMS. When I went total carnivore I rapidly began healing many many issues. Never looking back! I’m 73.
@@stepheneverhardt4731 That’s the conclusion I come to too. And it makes sense too because where would we have encountered high carb foods that didn’t have fiber before agriculture?
De novo lipogenesis is the clearance pathway for excess serum glucose. Insulin resistance is the diminished capacity for de novo lipogenesis, mediated by fructose/alcohol consumption and fatty liver.
I value the information here, but I’ve watched many interviews with this man. Things that go unanswered always are, how do we go about getting a fasting insulin test. How do we interpret the test? If we were to interpret all these tests (that doctors are not willing to give us), how do we apply that information to our metabolic disorder? And how do we eat based on that information if diet is key. Also a measure of the LDL he claims may not be important is followed by zero suggestions on what tests we might take to get that information. He gives lots of facts, but for the life of me, I can’t put any of them together, ever.
Yes, that’s why we’re all here. I’ve probably watched 15 interviews with this man and have not been able apply a single fact to my real life cardiovascular disease, except the medical community has it wrong. Nice facts doctor and interviewer, but there’s nothing here for us to put together on our own. If doctors aren’t on our team this information is useless if we don’t know how to use it. This man never describes how to use it. Ever.
This doctor have some beneficial information on the dangers of sugar that I agree with, but I can't take all my health information from someone who doesn't look healthy. I always know when something is not right with my health because I don't look healthy and I look older. I'm pretty sure we're close in age but he looks a lot older. He has red blotchy skin which in my opinion tells me his diet needs some work. I really don't know if I can trust his "magic" fiber since he's he have a financial interest in us buying his products. I've listened to so many podcasts with conflicting health advice it's enough to make a person insane. I guess at the end of the day we have to do what resonates with us and listen to our bodies to determine what particular diet is best for us
I was thinking the same thing about his health. The comment he made that if your body doesn't get fiber, then the gut bacteria will destroy the mucosal lining, was something I had never heard before. For such a statement as that, he should have indicated some of his sources, knowing it would be controversial. Especially being that he sells a fiber supplement.
You’re coming to conclusions based on very small indications. I’m not even going to call it evidence. The guy probably got a little sunburned golfing; maybe he scraped his cheek shaving. You can’t build anything on the appearance of skin on a video. Colors are not true to life.
I'm glad you challenged him on oils! I think we all need to listen with caution. All these experts on all of these types of shows contradict each other.
@blessyne It's called, "How Much FIBER Do You Need Each Day?" At timestamp 13:34, Dr. Berry says, "... you don't need fiber. Fiber's never been proven to help you in any meaningful way." I've respected Dr. Lustig but am disappointed that he's hawking a product, especially a fiber product. Taking fiber out of my diet reversed my bowel problems. I haven't had fiber for almost three years and my gut is very happy.
@@luanneneill2877 provide the link to the video , I just want to watch it myself..that's all..I just got to see it to be sure.and hear what else was said in the video
I thank God for being an Australian as our fasting test for testing blood sugar are free. Always has been. We have one of the best if not thee best health care in the world. Those that cannot afford health care are treated the same as one who does. All care is taken.
Excess Omega 6's go hand in hand with chronic inflammation and according to Chris Knobbe serious leakage in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
In so many cases, the facts are that the person's intestines are so damaged, because of what they have been eating for years. Resulting in irritable bowel syndrome, chrohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and so many other problems. Drs want to take out half your bowels, in over half the people and leave them with a bowel bag on their belly. Disgusting they are so indoctrinated with the opposite of what is true. I have what is being talked about here. I am not overweight, not sick etc etc. But nearly killed myself by doing what you said. Added more fibre to my meals, along with lots of fruits and lots of veggies...and lots of bloating etc. One day after nearly passing on to another realm...it was touch and go for a day... I found out about insulin resistance...read up on it and found I needed to ditch the fruit and veggies and add more fats, which was hard for me, as I had been trained to cut fats out. One thing, whatever "they" say, your brain needs fats, good fats. So now, at 83yrs old, I am back to jogging, working daily on my farm, renovating old cottages and work online. Am mostly carnivore, with bits of keto, when I get bored. Bowel habits are regular, about every 3 days. I was a bit worried at first, so I upped the fibre, irrated everything inside, had the runs, and after more study, I found out how this 3 day toilet visit, is perfectly normal in carnivore diets. So, now, all is good, and my sleep is very good if I obey the protocols. If I vary, by being naughty, I wake up at 2 am or 4 am... That is a very good measure of what I was doing, was affecting my system, which had become so sensitive to the smallest variation in what my body needed to function at optimal levels. This condition is very sensitive to the tiniest variations. Everyone is different, so it means a lot of experimenting by each person.
That’s wonderful you’re getting out of such an unhealthy environment and can take charge of your diet! I agree with you on the hope that Robert Kennedy Jr. can bring some necessary change! 😊
Perhaps fiber is important in the context of a carbohydrate rich diet. The obvious observation is that many groups of people through out history (masai, plains indians, Inuit and perhaps most of the people living in the northern hemisphere during pre agricultural times) were not eating a lot of fiber and still doing fine. I personally do better with less plant material and certainly have less gut issues.
Real stevia is 300 times as sweet as sugar. It's incredibly expensive. What you get in supermarkets nowadays is not real stevia as it is only twice as sweet as sugar. Better skip sugar and all sweeteners together!
I have a Continuous Glucose monitor and stevia has no effect on my levels but unfortunately monk fruit does. Was really sad to find that out because I had discovered Choc-zero products and was excited to b able to have a treat (monk fruit) now and then.
I have been waiting for many years to hear Dr. Lustig comment again about how researchers were unable to give rats on a high saturated fat diet fatty liver disease, no matter how much alcohol they fed them. I would like to hear/see him debate Dr. Cate Shanahan. What is also a little unclear is if his conclusions about causation etc with sugar only applies to people with insulin resistance (since most people seem to have that). I liked your reaction to his comments about PUFAs, Rina.
Just wondering about safe daily quantities of fresh banana, apples, oranges, strawberries and raspberries to eat so as not to overdo it on the sugar? Thank you
I’ve just been diagnosed prediabetic. I’ve avoided all sugars for years with exception of whole raw fruit (no juices or smoothies). Whole raw fruit was the only significant source of sugar in my diet, though I did eat a lot of fruit. Anyway I am now at risk of diabetes. It can only be due to eating so much whole raw fruit. No other way.
Hard to know what to eat. When I eat keto, meat and fats, my cholesterol goes up; Total 326, HDL 114, LDL 203; my A1c is 5.2; my fasting insulin is 5.1. When I eat more carbs, my A1c goes up 5.6, fasting insulin 3.1. I've had two TIAs five years ago, and my doctor said it was caused by high cholesterol. So I'm not sure what to eat. Triglycerides 47. Thanks for this information.
It’s not completely accurate that fats lower hyperinsulinemia. It’s the substitution of carbohydrates for fats that cause the insulin levels to decrease. It’s drastically cutting out the carbs.
I had a fasting insulin test which was on the lower end of the accepted range. Better yet, my HDL ÷ by triglycerides is .33. According to Dr. Lustig, 1.5 means a person has many years to go. At 77, I have noticed the signs of illness in old people, not that younger people are all healthy, but illnesses become visible in those in their 70s and older.
I haven't used insulin in weeks by eating meat, grass fed primarily, butter, no seed oils, chicken, and my sugars stay at 100. I used to be at 130 no matter what.
I agree with a lot of what he says, but fiber isn't necessary if we don't eat the sugar sources to begin with, and we can avoid the damage that fiber does. We're not designed for fiber.
Diabetes is from a chromium deficiency. The best source of chromium is wheat and you get that chromium not by eating store bought bread but by milling your own wheat berries and making your own bread.
@@macemace5196 What? LOL wheat is carbs. Carbs spikes insulin really high. Diabetes is an issue is too much insulin. Not to mention that we have a carnivore digestive system (no cecum, long short intestine, short colon) and all carbs are non-essential. Have fun explaining that one LOL

In the 70s when big food was pushing margarine we as a family and friends listened to the alternative complimentary doctors and nutritionists of the time like prevention magazine and others and stayed away rejected all margarine brands bar none😅
I remember you having Dr. Zoe Harcombe on your show and she said that fiber is garbage and we don't need it. I'm surprise you didn't ask him about that when he talked about fiber!!
Eh, it’s had to be wild caught. Farmed fish lack the nutrients we need because they don’t eat a species appropriate diet, therefore they weren’t getting the nutrients they needed. Fish are like that. It’s different say for beef, but fish are straightforward in that if they are farm raised, they are fed grain, and they won’t have omega 3’s, at least not in the quantities that we would like and need. Wild caught would obviously be eating what they should be eating, and they absorb those nutrients by eating their proper diet. We eat them, we get the nutrients.
I think you're on to something, read up on how important a gallbladder is, it stores the bile that our liver makes, so if there's no gallbladder to hold your bile then the liver constantly makes it. I have heard others say the same thing as you.
Some ppl who have had their gall bladder removed find they can adjust to dietary fat by eating butter or other fat in small amounts, but frequently. Intermittent fasting is not advised while your body is adjusting.
You can take gallbladder enzymes to support digestion when you don’t have a gallbladder. Also eggs, avocado and coconut oil don’t need bile and can help improve absorption xxx avoid refined oils and fats avoid margarine stay with butter
I tried high fat (keto) and at a certain point, I had constant diarrhea. I had my gall bladder removed 25 years ago and can only handle a certain amount of fat. Even ox bile supplements do not help. I can not do high fat and there's probably many others like me.

My 94 year old mother is in memory care at a nursing home. It’s amazing she’s lived as long as she has. My parents ate the standard American lo fat diet since the 70’s when dad had triple bypass at 50. Dad continued with heart disease treatments and statins and mom had chronic high blood pressure their entire adults lives. They also developed dementia in their mid 80’s. They start off every meal in memory care with juice….heavy carbohydrate diet like spaghetti. Always follows with dessert of some kind. It’s just shocking that the mainstream health industry insists on being blind to the truth.
It makes them more money. Follow the money. The sugary starchy foods are cheaper. We've been lied to. I started eating fat and it's wonderful - $1.50 a pound. That's not all that I eat but it makes the little bit of protein so much cheaper at $6 a pound. They probably put your mother on a statin because her cholesterol levels are high. That's a lie. The statins are most likely the culprit behind the memory difficulties. People actually live longer with higher cholesterol. It's the sugars that cause problems for our arteries.
I agree. I have been in assisted living care for the last 8 months. I have been fed an unhealthy diet as you said. High carb, fried foods covered in heavy batter and sugary desserts. The nurses and physical therapists have been excellent and I have recovered my strength. I am moving out into an apartment where I will have control over meals. Hopefully, Robert Kennedy Jr will bring some needed changes.
2 lb margarine: $2

Ultra processed junk is cheaper
Not that juice in and of itself does not have it's sugars. Yet, juice from concentrate is more common these days, and so few even know the difference. "My people shall perish because of lack of knowledge" saith the LORD.
Same rubbish diet in hospital and care homes. Supposedly put together by experts.
My Dr. ordered A1C and the results were 6.0, my Doc said it was normal-no problem, just sent me to a cardiologist for high blood pressure. 2 years later and after Keto for 5 months, A1C is now 5.4 and no high blood pressure. I thank God for showing me Keto.
I believe A1C is not the same as fasting insulin, no?
@@Poprocks_xoxo Correct. Your A1C is your body's average glucose level over 3 months. It doesn't measure insulin.

@@NansGlobalKitchenzzz I follow the meals on the Beat Diabetes UA-cam channel-give it a try! I got rid of all carbs in my cuppords and don’t eat bread, pasta, grains, potatoes, crackers, etc, as well as no sugar and only berries for fruit.
I've been eating 10% carbs for 6 weeks now. My fasting glucose is still around 105.
How long does it take to get it under 100?
My story so far. Over three months into the carnivore diet with daily intermittent fasting, and the results are life-changing! Here are my numbers:
* Weight: Down 30 pounds
* Blood Pressure: Improved from 139/90 to 123/73
* Glucose Levels: Dropped from 123 mg/dL to 102 mg/dL
* Ketones: Now at 3.0 mmol/L
* GKI (Glucose Ketone Index): 1.8
This combination has truly transformed my health and my life!
Do you do 80% fat /20% protein?
@@janiemiller825 I'm not tracking. I eat ribeyes, bacon, eggs, and lots of butter. I eat until I'm full, and this may be one or two meals a day within a six-hour window.
Here’s my results:
Body shape more toned - the puckered buttocks gone (cellulite?)
I stay slim and still getting slimmer - on keto I cheated on fruit and had more cheat days or cheat evenings due to cravings so constant yo yoing
Eye floaters gone (I assume that’s a good thing)
No pre-period weepiness or micro private mini rages
Period cramping now 1-2 hours only and very very mild (used to be 2 days and needed painkillers three times a day)
No migraine (unless I do a water fast - I’m a tea addict) I used to have what I called hormonal migraine once a month and lasted 24-36 hours.
Bleeding gums stopped - I’d thought it was either normal because of tooth brushes or my technique was wrong.
I only wee once a night now - was 2-3 minimum
When I get post intimacy cystitis (albeit less now than when I was younger desp it more now) it clears up within 2-3 hours - all my life it 2-3 days and sometimes needed meds and time off work.
My general mental resilience at work and with family issues better - I don’t crumble inside when I’m challenged with something.
My work productivity better - I wouldn’t say I had brain fog but my performance as an employee exceeds most colleagues now - I used to feel in a boss’s eyes I was above average but never outstanding in any form.
God Bless You!❤🙏🏽
@@caroliner1901another very inspirational story! Thank you!🎉
I have a slender plant based friend who only eats meat when she goes to fast food once or twice a month. Or she buys frozen health meals, too, with a few ounces animal protein. I don't think she likes fresh veg. Small salad once in a while. Otherwise, processed crap. And rice, which she loves.
Very slender and conscious of weight. But her skinny butt has cellulose. She HATES IT. I often wondered if diet could eliminate this, or at least help.
She would never eat more meat, and definitely no red meat for fear of cancer.
About seven years ago, I lost my insurance. I was on 60 units of insulin and a book. The blood sugar solution had just come out. I couldn’t get that book. It wasn’t at the library at the time. So I started testing my blood sugar after I ate something. I began to eliminate the foods that raised my blood sugar. And slowly lowering the insulin when I was able to have insurance again my doctor put me on metformin I had lost to about 140 pounds and I am now 120 pounds with no medication. When people ask me what my diet is I just say it’s the diet that I Came on by testing. But it is very much like a keto carnivore kind of combination. My physical and mental health has been incredibly better. I am absolutely delighted with Dr. Chris Palmer and his use of real food/ keto and I am not such a fan of pharmaceuticals
What a great story! Thanks for sharing. It's amazing what one can do with their own ingenuity!
Congratulations, keep it up! 💯🎉
I'm slender and realized a few months ago by my own due diligence that I am metabolicly unhealthy. My fasting blood sugar was 5.7, and when I questioned the doctor she "you are perfectly healthy". I never saw her again. I have spent 2 months intermittent fasting and only eating organic whole foods, only water and strength training. I've strength trained for 35 years, but have been eating way too much sugar. I can no longer eat any sugar. But feel a bit better every day.

Yip, we don't need fibre. I don't believe that the microbes will eat the gut if they have no fibre. I think they will just die off.
@@judythomas1050 that so good! I wish my family members with constipation would try it. One aunt did it for about 4 days, got relief then went on low fibre still thinking that she needs some. She’s 75 and suffered with constipation since her teens.
It’s so hard to stay out of the matrix.
The fiber myth is deeply set into our brains. Just like other lies ex. "food pyramid", "breakfast is the most important meal of the day", low fat, margarine, "plant based", etc. I was brought up with all of them, some of those lies I learned in biology class! Kid you not.
Carnivore and OMAD took care of almost all the health issues! 🙂
This is now the second person, the first one being Dr William Davis, who says that eliminating carbohydrate fiber will make our body eat the mucosal lining of our intestine. As carnivores is this then happening to us?

I am a retired nurse also. This has been known for decades about sugar causing illnesses/cancers. I am so grateful some doctors are talking about it instead of cashing in on it.
He didn't even talk about how seed oils are processed causing them to be oxidized. They are processed with high heat and chemicals.
I find that Robert Lustig is an exceptionally good explainer of these things. His speech is CLEAR, measured, and well-spaced out with pauses.

This is by far the most BRILLIANT podcast on this subject. He knocked it out of the park!
15:44 Alcohol and Fructose: "There are two things that we as Americans are exposed to pretty consistently that generate liver fat and therefore insulin resistance at the level of the liver and they are alcohol and fructose."
I used to do a lot of training at work, both with employees and customers (tech support) and I found that MOST people don't learn from being given information in the form of facts but they do learn when you give the same information in the form of an analogy. I use this a LOT. This past weekend I was speaking with a friend. Both her and her husband are morbidly obese and diabetic. He is NOT doing well and TBH I'm really worried about him. She is as well so she was asking me all sorts of questions about my weight and diet. I used an analogy that I THINK actually sunk in and was meaningful. I told her that thallium is a toxic metal and thallium poisoning WILL kill you. But there is a reasonably innocuous substance that is the antidote: Prussian blue. A pigment used for paint for a LONG time. I compared it with glucose and insulin and basically asked her if she kept eating thallium and it kept making her sick was it reasonable to just keep ingesting Prussian blue or would it be better to stop eating the thallium in the first place? I told her to think of carbs as thallium and insulin as Prussian blue and asked her to HONESTLY think about if it makes sense to continue to ingest the toxin that is literally killing her and her husband and then inject themselves with the antidote OR would it make more sense to stop ingesting the poison in the first place meaning there would be no need for the antidote. She actually got it. I don't know if he did but even if someone understands it that does not mean they will actually DO anything to stop the behaviours. People have been brainwashed to just do what their doctor says and take the meds they tell them to take for no other reason than the dr went to school for a few years. But they rarely, if ever, question if what that dr was taught was correct and that MAYBE the dr is just unknowingly passing along the same wrong info they were force fed.
Dr. Lustig, you have profoundly changed my life. You gave me the "Why" that I was searching for that none of my doctors knew or they weren't telling me. Thank you for caring enough to take the time to give so many people a chance to regain our health. For this I am forever grateful. God Bless you sir.
Cutting out most of the fiber from my diet cured my ulcerative colitis.
Yeah I wonder what Dr Ken Berry would say to this dude.

I think fibrous vegetables are ok for those that can stomach them. I know I can’t hence I’m carnivore.
it fixed my diverticulitis by cutting out all veggies
Fibre is disastrous for my diverticulitis!
Thank you so much, Dr. Lustig, for all you did and are doing to campaign against excess intake of sugar/fructose. Wish young medical students would go out of their way to gain more knowledge beyond what is taught or required in their academic training, like you did. Truly, you're a hero.
The lack of curiosity in doctors is astonishing. Is it arrogance, or what?! 😢
Interesting interview, thank you Rina.
One observation: Dr Lustig warns us about anything highly processed as a bad product and not fit to be eaten, which I agree with. Then he says seed oils are okay to use. Aren't seed oils unnaturally concentrated products using an extremely high process to produce? I once had to work outside near a margarine factory. The smell from that FACTORY was nauseating and gave me a headache. I was brought up a butter eater and remain that way.
I agree. I would to have heard him talk about the process of how they're made and if he would defend that position.
Been following him about 2 decades, or known about him. Still gives me new info, maybe because I understand more about this area now than before.
I think margarine was a deliberate way to get you on the meds.
I remember reading somewhere that the French, who love their butter, couldn't get enough fresh butter to their troops while fighting all over Europe. So Napoleon got chemists to come up with a butter substitute for his men. Initially it was colored black, but then "colored" yellow as no-one would eat it. Fun fact if true!
Dr Lustig is the best of the best! My life and health has completely turned around because of his sharing of this vital knowledge. I've never been healthier after being in very grave danger. Thank you, Dr Lustig!
I love my youtube doctors ! I have been able to help so many just by sharing with follow up discutions. It has even even taken place of board games. Thank you! Thank you!! The battle for truth is real!!

33:40 "but kids aren't drinking alcohol is there some chemical that's acting like alcohol and so I pulled out my biochemistry textbook from 35 years earlier and I went to the page on alcohol and there it is and there's how alcohol is metabolized and I turned the page and there's fructose and I looked and I went wait a second: they're the same."
Fructose and alcohol is the same at the liver. And EVERYONE just loves to consume both.
With all due respect..Seed oils are likely the problem for people today with metabolic dysfunction Follow Dr. Mercola
Sugar and carbs aren’t the problem
Anything in access is the problem..
Too many carbs =bad
Not enough carbs = bad
Moderation is key
Stop eating processed foods
Eat mostly whole ripe raw organic foods to get your health back 🌅
Hardly, for instance fructose can be converted to glucose and used to produce glycogen, alcohol cannot. Alcohol produces toxic intermediaries like acetaldehyde that give hangover and damage the liver where fructose does not. Pretty much the only similarity is both alcohol and fructose if taken in excess can contribute to NAFLD but excess saturate fat consumption will also result in fatty liver so the key word common to all dietary issues is "excess" 👍.
@@888jucu u need alcohol to lower your hdl , or was it ldl ?one of those anyhoow's
@@888jucu But, easy to consume alcohol or fructose to excess. Both are addictive. Saturated fat - not addictive, and very satiating. So, you don't want to over consume - now no fatty liver!
True. I reversed type 2 diabetes with a high fat high protein diet.
Excellent guest, thank you!
Awesome, and thanks for the comprehensive explanation of the insulin resistance, a topic I was looking for everywhere. The fructose is interesting and no wonder why not available in the grocery stores.
Soo happy for this interview its worth more than gold
Done. Kind of fell into it have lost 80 pounds.
I totally love this. Dr. Lustig goes back to basic science, and there it was. Fructose metabolizes like alcohol.

Lena, excellent podcast as usual. Great job. I must agree to disagree with one major thing that. Dr. Lustig states about fiber which goes against many other Carnivore doctors. That is that we need fiber, especially for our microbiome. I completely disagree with that. I’ve been Carnivore for almost 4 years and have healed my gut and don’t have any issues. There are cultural tribes, such as the Inuit and Swahili tribes that are basically whole foods, seafood and meat eating cultures that don’t have Microbiome issues and they have zero fiber. I would like to know what you and your followers think about this. Doctors Anthony Chaffee, Ken Berry, dr. Elizabeth Bright, and Dr. Robert Kiltz all have stated that we do not need fiber at all just to name a few. I also disagree with him in regards to seed the oils, especially if you cook with any of them above 220° or use them and reuse them they become rancid.
@@gregorygoldbarth7464 I second this, I would really like to hear someone asking this question to dr Lustig who I respect but as a layman disagree on this subject
I’m not exaggerating at all that’s your point and I made my point.
He has a product to sell. It’s fiber so it’s to his benefit to believe that fiber is very important. Now he maybe correct but it is a conflict.
I have IBS and totally agree with this. I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and started eating lower carb, then KETO and eventually mostly carnivore. The lower I went on fiber the better my IBS symptoms were. The IBS symtoms are completely gone on a zero fiber diet.
Maybe those that eat carbs benefit somewhat from fiber. Carnivores certainly don’t need it.
Thanks for a great guest, Rina! I've watched a lot of videos like that and have to say that Dr. Lustig gives one of the most scientifically grounded opinions on a diet that also correlate with my own experience. We started on a carnivore journey over a year ago and have been strict carnivores for about 6 months, but now we are on a very low carb diet with less than 30g of carbs per day. However, along with getting rid of most of the carbs in our diet, that we were never super heavy on anyway, we also eliminated alcohol, and I always suspected that it may have been not elimination of carbs that gave us the most radical health improvements, but elimination of alcohol, and dr. Lustig confirmed that suspicion! I will look at his product Monch Monch fiber and will lookup his other interviews as a lot of what he says makes perfect sense.
Fantastic interview. Thank you.
Glad you enjoyed it!
An outstanding interview!!! He’s amazing - he speaks so we can all understand what he says! Thank you so much!
You are very welcome, Michele.
Dr Roberts is pretty awesome. I'm just learning about health I've had problems and I've had to start changing my diet I'm 61 I just went off all my medication if I listen to my doctor I would die I was on statins and blood thinners started losing my hair been really weak now I feel really strong but started exercising.
he's sorta awesome i greckon !
Excellent interview with lots of important medical and health information.
Ummm… ZERO fiber for me! Carbs and fiber caused LOTS OF PROBLEMS. When I went total carnivore I rapidly began healing many many issues. Never looking back! I’m 73.
So if we don't eat carbs we don't need fiber. If we eat carbs the fiber will help keep some of the sugars from being assorbed.
Our body's don't need fiber at all... Go ask Dr Ken Berry....our body's don't even absorb it. We don't use it
@@stepheneverhardt4731 That’s the conclusion I come to too. And it makes sense too because where would we have encountered high carb foods that didn’t have fiber before agriculture?
De novo lipogenesis is the clearance pathway for excess serum glucose. Insulin resistance is the diminished capacity for de novo lipogenesis, mediated by fructose/alcohol consumption and fatty liver.
i think we need more research on this fiber that apparently feeds our gut biome, seen too many ppl cut out fiber and thrive
Plenty of places online let you order your own tests and it’s pretty affordable. I think I paid $25 for my fasting insulin test.
psssss.............its a scam !
@ 👍🏻
I value the information here, but I’ve watched many interviews with this man. Things that go unanswered always are, how do we go about getting a fasting insulin test. How do we interpret the test? If we were to interpret all these tests (that doctors are not willing to give us), how do we apply that information to our metabolic disorder? And how do we eat based on that information if diet is key. Also a measure of the LDL he claims may not be important is followed by zero suggestions on what tests we might take to get that information. He gives lots of facts, but for the life of me, I can’t put any of them together, ever.
This is why we are supposed to have doctors who understand the field. It's a terrible thing that we can't trust our doctors any more.
Yes, that’s why we’re all here. I’ve probably watched 15 interviews with this man and have not been able apply a single fact to my real life cardiovascular disease, except the medical community has it wrong. Nice facts doctor and interviewer, but there’s nothing here for us to put together on our own. If doctors aren’t on our team this information is useless if we don’t know how to use it. This man never describes how to use it. Ever.

Our food is medicine when consumed as a PHD. The proper human diet can change your life.
This doctor have some beneficial information on the dangers of sugar that I agree with, but I can't take all my health information from someone who doesn't look healthy. I always know when something is not right with my health because I don't look healthy and I look older. I'm pretty sure we're close in age but he looks a lot older. He has red blotchy skin which in my opinion tells me his diet needs some work. I really don't know if I can trust his "magic" fiber since he's he have a financial interest in us buying his products. I've listened to so many podcasts with conflicting health advice it's enough to make a person insane. I guess at the end of the day we have to do what resonates with us and listen to our bodies to determine what particular diet is best for us
Hi, then what do you think the real,healthy diet is?
I was thinking the same thing about his health. The comment he made that if your body doesn't get fiber, then the gut bacteria will destroy the mucosal lining, was something I had never heard before. For such a statement as that, he should have indicated some of his sources, knowing it would be controversial. Especially being that he sells a fiber supplement.
You’re coming to conclusions based on very small indications. I’m not even going to call it evidence. The guy probably got a little sunburned golfing; maybe he scraped his cheek shaving.
You can’t build anything on the appearance of skin on a video. Colors are not true to life.
I'm glad you challenged him on oils! I think we all need to listen with caution. All these experts on all of these types of shows contradict each other.

Excess Omega 6's go hand in hand with chronic inflammation and according to Chris Knobbe serious leakage in the mitochondrial electron transport chain.
A lot of people in the comments section are disagreeing about the part that says fibre is essential. I tend to agree with them.
In so many cases, the facts are that the person's intestines are so damaged, because of what they have been eating for years. Resulting in irritable bowel syndrome, chrohn's disease, ulcerative colitis and so many other problems.
Drs want to take out half your bowels, in over half the people and leave them with a bowel bag on their belly.
Disgusting they are so indoctrinated with the opposite of what is true.
I have what is being talked about here.
I am not overweight, not sick etc etc.
But nearly killed myself by doing what you said.
Added more fibre to my meals, along with lots of fruits and lots of veggies...and lots of bloating etc.
One day after nearly passing on to another realm...it was touch and go for a day... I found out about insulin resistance...read up on it and found I needed to ditch the fruit and veggies and add more fats, which was hard for me, as I had been trained to cut fats out.
One thing, whatever "they" say, your brain needs fats, good fats.
So now, at 83yrs old, I am back to jogging, working daily on my farm, renovating old cottages and work online.
Am mostly carnivore, with bits of keto, when I get bored.
Bowel habits are regular, about every 3 days.
I was a bit worried at first, so I upped the fibre, irrated everything inside, had the runs, and after more study, I found out how this 3 day toilet visit, is perfectly normal in carnivore diets.
So, now, all is good, and my sleep is very good if I obey the protocols.
If I vary, by being naughty, I wake up at 2 am or 4 am...
That is a very good measure of what I was doing, was affecting my system, which had become so sensitive to the smallest variation in what my body needed to function at optimal levels.
This condition is very sensitive to the tiniest variations.
Everyone is different, so it means a lot of experimenting by each person.
Dr Lustig said, 'are people missing something on a carnivore diet (referring to fibre) the answer is we don't know'.

Seed oils bad !!!
Rina… you were on to him. Well done 👍
Good info on the bad effects of artificial sweeteners and sugar alcohols.
However there is data to show that toxic seed oils are indeed toxic.
Perhaps fiber is important in the context of a carbohydrate rich diet. The obvious observation is that many groups of people through out history (masai, plains indians, Inuit and perhaps most of the people living in the northern hemisphere during pre agricultural times) were not eating a lot of fiber and still doing fine. I personally do better with less plant material and certainly have less gut issues.

Does stevia in my Greek yogurt do damage? I've found that sucralose makes me tired...more than an apple does.
Real stevia is 300 times as sweet as sugar. It's incredibly expensive. What you get in supermarkets nowadays is not real stevia as it is only twice as sweet as sugar. Better skip sugar and all sweeteners together!
STEVIA DOES KNOCK ME OUT OF DEEP KETOSIS.... NO CARBS BUT IT DOES AFFECT INSULIN ON ME
Yes does damage but the Greek yogurt can too

I have been waiting for many years to hear Dr. Lustig comment again about how researchers were unable to give rats on a high saturated fat diet fatty liver disease, no matter how much alcohol they fed them. I would like to hear/see him debate Dr. Cate Shanahan. What is also a little unclear is if his conclusions about causation etc with sugar only applies to people with insulin resistance (since most people seem to have that). I liked your reaction to his comments about PUFAs, Rina.
Just wondering about safe daily quantities of fresh banana, apples, oranges, strawberries and raspberries to eat so as not to overdo it on the sugar? Thank you
Don't eat fruit especially out of season if you struggle with obesity.
Thank you
I’ve just been diagnosed prediabetic. I’ve avoided all sugars for years with exception of whole raw fruit (no juices or smoothies). Whole raw fruit was the only significant source of sugar in my diet, though I did eat a lot of fruit. Anyway I am now at risk of diabetes. It can only be due to eating so much whole raw fruit. No other way.
Very impressive. Thank you.
Seed oils are processed with hexaine and other solvents that aren't good for you
Hard to know what to eat. When I eat keto, meat and fats, my cholesterol goes up; Total 326, HDL 114, LDL 203; my A1c is 5.2; my fasting insulin is 5.1. When I eat more carbs, my A1c goes up 5.6, fasting insulin 3.1. I've had two TIAs five years ago, and my doctor said it was caused by high cholesterol. So I'm not sure what to eat. Triglycerides 47. Thanks for this information.
It’s not completely accurate that fats lower hyperinsulinemia.
It’s the substitution of carbohydrates for fats that cause the insulin levels to decrease.
It’s drastically cutting out the carbs.
Nice work thanks
I had a fasting insulin test which was on the lower end of the accepted range. Better yet, my HDL ÷ by triglycerides is .33. According to Dr. Lustig, 1.5 means a person has many years to go. At 77, I have noticed the signs of illness in old people, not that younger people are all healthy, but illnesses become visible in those in their 70s and older.
Same for me at 73. I thought those were my test results. I've had my heart thoroughly scanned and there is no coronary artery disease.
I wish he was head of Health and Human Services.
Hopefully he and Kennedy will work together.
Me too, wouldn't our world be a healthier place!
@@ThePrimal.Podcast Not by much. Another biased person at the head of a public health organization is what got us into the mess we're in now.

I have a request please find the video is this long could you please put on time stamps. Thank you so much!
Check descriptions

Wonderful wonderful man
I agree, Dr Lustig is great!
I like how he calls it "Frucktose"
I haven't used insulin in weeks by eating meat, grass fed primarily, butter, no seed oils, chicken, and my sugars stay at 100. I used to be at 130 no matter what.
I agree with a lot of what he says, but fiber isn't necessary if we don't eat the sugar sources to begin with, and we can avoid the damage that fiber does. We're not designed for fiber.
Diabetes is from a chromium deficiency. The best source of chromium is wheat and you get that chromium not by eating store bought bread but by milling your own wheat berries and making your own bread.
@@macemace5196 What? LOL wheat is carbs. Carbs spikes insulin really high. Diabetes is an issue is too much insulin. Not to mention that we have a carnivore digestive system (no cecum, long short intestine, short colon) and all carbs are non-essential. Have fun explaining that one LOL
@@macemace5196 Dr. Lustig explained exactly where T2 diabetes comes from. Try watching the video before posting nonsense like this.
I'm with you on this point. If you don't eat carbs, you don't need fiber.
Then why have we got molars?

It's available now:)
In the 70s when big food was pushing margarine we as a family and friends listened to the alternative complimentary doctors and nutritionists of the time like prevention magazine and others and stayed away rejected all margarine brands bar none😅
I remember you having Dr. Zoe Harcombe on your show and she said that fiber is garbage and we don't need it. I'm surprise you didn't ask him about that when he talked about fiber!!
@@lemino10 same exact thought.
Amazing story of scientific journey
Why can't we consume the same Omega'3s that the wild salmon consume, wouldn't it be cheaper?
Seaweed is expensive, surprisingly.
@@KatarinaNolte But you can eat it and it is sold.
Hard to eat large amounts
Eh, it’s had to be wild caught. Farmed fish lack the nutrients we need because they don’t eat a species appropriate diet, therefore they weren’t getting the nutrients they needed. Fish are like that. It’s different say for beef, but fish are straightforward in that if they are farm raised, they are fed grain, and they won’t have omega 3’s, at least not in the quantities that we would like and need. Wild caught would obviously be eating what they should be eating, and they absorb those nutrients by eating their proper diet. We eat them, we get the nutrients.
I find when I eat higher fat diet I’m constantly running to the bathroom. I have no gall bladder, could this be why??
I think you're on to something, read up on how important a gallbladder is, it stores the bile that our liver makes, so if there's no gallbladder to hold your bile then the liver constantly makes it. I have heard others say the same thing as you.
Some ppl who have had their gall bladder removed find they can adjust to dietary fat by eating butter or other fat in small amounts, but frequently. Intermittent fasting is not advised while your body is adjusting.
@@kp76333thank you for your response
@@pattireznik5547thank you!
You can take gallbladder enzymes to support digestion when you don’t have a gallbladder. Also eggs, avocado and coconut oil don’t need bile and can help improve absorption xxx avoid refined oils and fats avoid margarine stay with butter
Unfortunately, partially hydrogenated soybean is in almost everything. Most people have no idea how bad that is.
Cook your own meat and you can leave the soybean oil out.
I tried high fat (keto) and at a certain point, I had constant diarrhea. I had my gall bladder removed 25 years ago and can only handle a certain amount of fat. Even ox bile supplements do not help. I can not do high fat and there's probably many others like me.
I am not finding the link to Dr Lustigs shopping app in the show notes as promised!
I have done everything, Dr. Lustig says & it doesn't help. What about checking a hemoglobin A1C?
