Practical summary: - everybody needs to stop eating added sugar and refined grains (aka anything made of white wheat flour), that is: most of our packaged foods, also don't go to McDonalds. - most people eat too few fruit and vegetables. Adding plant foods will feed not only you, but also your gut microbiome. This is health promoting in all kinds of ways. - meat should be a small part of your daily calories: too much protein gets converted into carbs (and potentially fat). If you do eat meat, eat the non-processed stuff (no added salt etc) - Gardner's food pyramid has beans as a foundational food: something to eat daily. (from me:) This is, as the title suggests, aimed mostly at diabetes. For heart disease, the saturated fat in meats are a problem. One would also stress the salt in (ultra-) processed foods as an issue.

Excellent lecture, thank you. As Borderline diabetic now normal after Keto, finding high non-HDL and LDL means I need switch to more Mediterranean. You study shared confirms it for me.

@@terry2346 dear Terry, I was saying “you are good now but sick tomorrow.” Please, search for Cyrus Khambata and Robby Barbaro, they have a channel on KZread called MASTERING DIABETES, and they explain everything you need to know about the diet people with type 1 and 2 should eat. What you possibly don’t know yet is that the strokes and cardiovascular disease and all diseases don’t come from whole carbohydrates but only from fat. The keto diet works in a few weeks but it will create insulin resistance, that’s why there are people with type 2 who still have a pancreas creating insulin but the diet they eat full of fat don’t let the insulin play their part in the metabolism of glucose. I am diabetic type 1 for 20 years and I can tell that these two guys, Cyrus and Robby, have saved my life. Please if you want to live longer, with no stroke no nothing, change your diet to whole food plant based diet the fastest you can. You guys eating keto and paleo are killing yourself and you don’t know… I am saying this to you to save your life. Check These two guys. With all my love…Joana

I like the balanced approach at the end. I'm T2 and definitely have a lower carb diet but I don't go to extremes. The most important thing for me is losing weight and that is dependent on being in a calorie deficit. Doesn't matter what I eat if I'm not in a deficit I'm not losing weight. CICO

Thanks for sharing your experience. Finding what works is an individual journey and every step made towards a balanced diet can be beneficial for personal health. Good luck!

I appreciate your videos and enjoy having a reputable source of diet information as there is so much misinformation in the diet world :-/ A small criticism, and that is that your polls are lacking important details. For example, when you ask what percentage of fat and protein in a keto diet, do you mean as commonly practised, as designed by the originator of the diet, or as a well designed keto diet? One can't really answer the question without this additional info. A small point, but I have seen this elsewhere too. For example, you asked what percentage of energy from carbs in the diet. Once again, according to whom? Conventional wisdom, latest research, diet info from the last 60 years like the American Food Pyramid. Not super critical, but if I was taking a test with these questions I would be frustrated and feel that that it wasn't possible to really answer the questions.

Perhaps you aren't skinny ENOUGH yet ? Look up Roy Taylor "personal fat threshold" - a short sharp diet to clear the liver and pancreas of fat. I was labelled ""diabetic" at a BMI in the 30s when I'd been flattened by flu and they were testing for various things... But cycling every day probably kept me safe for years. at that size - 50 to 100 miles a week.. I lost 10 kilos in 3 months and tested fine at a BMI of 29 - though I was also cycling ... But without taking a glucose challenge test - which the UK NHS does not routinely do, I can't swear that I was "cured" at that weight because I was cycling every day... My brush with T2 inspired me to avoid spiky carbs ... if only because I still had weight to lose and such foods are not satiating ... I dropped grain for more beans .. if I increase my exercise I will fuel it with slow carbs... My diet has become vaguely "mediterranean" because I eat a LOT of tahini - so unsaturated fat takes the edge off readily-available carbs...

It is shown, that HDL as a risk marker, has a J-shaped curve meaning, that both low and high numbers reflect non-ideal risk profile. Hope this helps!

So, Dr Gardner, at approximately 29:00 you conclude that low-carb diets increase the risk of Type-II diabetes. These are the same diets that have allowed diabetics to significantly reduce their medication ... right? Why do I sense something illogical in that? I presume that you are discounting this, but giving importance to the Zurich mouse studies (note - early in the diet). "In a study by ETH Zurich and University Children's Hospital Zurich, mice were put on one of two different diets - the ketogenic diet or a high fat diet." WAIT!!! What? "Metabolic tests showed that abnormal glucose levels and insulin resistance developed in the livers of mice fed a keto diet to a greater extent than in mice fed a high fat diet. As the liver was unable to deal with normal levels of insulin for glucose control, the risk of type 2 diabetes also increased." I have clearly lost the plot - or have I? Because a keto diet (protein fixed) IS BY DEFINITION a high fat diet. Oy vey!!

Explan this: For older people, the higher LDL-C the less mortality. The quote between Triglycerides and HDL is 5 times more signifiant as the LDL-C level for cardiovascular events. Yes, LDL-C is somewhat significant. Probably because those particles get damaged in diabetes type 2, and no longer recognized by the liver. That creates a correlation between LDL-C and cardiovascular events. But is LDL-C a cause? I doubt that because older people with higer levels have less mortality. Any story that doesn't take that into account is delusional. Any researcher who see a paradox should really see a counter example. Remember the French Paradox!

That is a band aid solution. One cause of insulin resistance is intercellular fats. A high saturated fat diet will actually worsen insulin sensitivity but blood sugars improve due to carb avoidance. It’s not solving the problem unless large amounts of fat is lost. To cure the type 2 diabetes one must lose lots of fat clear out fats in cells and lose liver fat. This can be done on keto low fat balanced diet long water fasts. But for long term health it’s better to do it on a healthy diet not high in saturated fat or a lot of animal protein. Keto with mostly fatty fish and avocados il and good fats is fine.
