I reversed my F2, F3 fatty liver steotosis. I was vegan a lot of my life and I ate a lot of high fructose products. I reversed my fatty liver at the age of 62 when my ultrasound validated it. I am not a drinker so mine was all the sugars in my diet. Ben, you were one contributor to my success and I thank you for your lessons., I enjoy listening to you and I love the speed of your presentation.

Ben. I am a cardiologist here in Brazil. I have bought your book 2 years ago and since then I am spreading out your teachings to every patient of mine. And I could also transmit the knowledge to my father that is oncologist and he is also using it in his clinical practice everyday. Thank you a lot.

Dr. Leandro, sou nutricionista aqui em SP, Brasil. Me formei em 1984 e durante toda a prática clínica do consultório passei por vários estágios de evolução da prática nutricional. Depois de alguns anos de formada vi que a contagem de calorias não tinha êxito e não fazia sentido. Comecei a orientar os pacientes a partir do que vinham fazendo e, tentando descobrir o motivo que os lavava à não ter saúde. Comecei a seguir Dr Ben na pandemia e realmente tudo na nutrição fica claro com as suas colocações científicas. Também comprei o livro. Enfim, atuo hoje com esse princípio, metabólico, onde a dieta se insere. Também sou defensora do jejum intermitente para casos específicos. Mas nem todos os nutricionistas e nutrólogos concordam. Feliz em ver que como médico, você tem semeado tais conceitos! Um abraço

If our doctors and healthcare system educated patients the way you do, we wouldn’t be in a global pandemic of metabolic disorders. Thank you, Dr. Bikman.

My fatty liver disease was at 395 for this scan, 400 being the very worst! That is the day I stopped drinking wine! I didn't drink hard alcohol. I also stayed at 40 carbs, or less, which included counting the fiber. Do NOT subtract the fiber from total carbs! One year later I redid that scan, I had zero sign of NAFLD.

This is the awesome news I needed❣

A gastroenterologist dismissed my patient with pre diabetes and fatty liver (on ultrasound)because she has a normal ALT and AST and advised the patient that she is NORMAL. However,the GGT is 125 ( normal is 30). When I questioned the gastroenterologist, she mentioned to me that they dont use GGT in gauging liver disease. The patient clearly has liver disease in the context of fatty liver. These kind of doctors need more education.

Thank you. I learned more from listening to you than going to my GP.

Dr. Bikman you are an outstanding teacher and been watching you for a couple of years. Just ordered your book. God bless.

Dr. Ben Bikman, you are a true "ROCK STAR" in the world of metabolic health. I suspect you will save far more lives than most M.D.'s will around the world.

There is a very sweet positive dietician on Instagram who keeps saying the fat in the liver should be reduced by eating little or no saturated fat, and eating lots of “healthy” carbs. I keep directing her clients to you, Ben Bikman. Hope I’ve been quoting you accurately. 😂 Mostly I want them to understand this “expert’s” explanation of insulin resistance is incomplete and a misunderstanding of carb tolerance.

Thank you Ben for your time. as always very much appreciated

A truly effective, clear description of what happens in the liver. Was diagnosed with T2D in 2000, and although working as a letter carrier and taking medications, I kept my HbA1C fairly level - that is until I couldn't. It went from 6.4 in 2016 to 8.0 in 2023 (which resulted in the addition of insulin injections every night). My HbA1C was 7.4 in November 2023, however, in January, I drastically changed my diet, reducing significantly my intake of carbs and alcohol, plus a daily 14-hour fast, and my HbA1C dropped to 6.5 in February. I have since halved my insulin dose, and will continue to strive to eliminate it outright! Your teachings and explanations are purely life-saving, simply put, I thank you for your generosity and caring.

4 years ago i had an ultrasound to determine why there were red blood cells in my urine. Ultrasound couldnt determine why but the walk-in Dr stated my liver was enlarged, my cholesterol a touch on the high side as is my ferratin. Then he left the room. No discussion as to what could be going on, what i should be doing, nothing. So i figured he was just informing me i had some congenital abnormality. A year later i started feeling pain in my upper abdomen and discovered a lump just under the ribs near the painful area. Saw another dr who ordered another ultrasound. Told me i had fatty liver and determined it was caused by alcohol as i did partake on an almost weekly basis, and said in a year that would resolve itself. Quit drinking altogether. A year later that area was still tender, lump still present. A year after that, 80% vegetarian diet, a rare glass of wine on special occasions, i started experiencing neurological symptoms. Uncontrollable spasms in the eye muscles, and tingling down the sides of my face. Then i get the worst case of diverticulitis i thought possible and found out i may have hemochromatosis in the same week (ferratin is silly high despite eating almost no beef and very little bread in years). Cat scan revealed there are fatty inclusions in my liver. For the life of me I havent a clue whether that is an indication thay my liver has worsened or not as that was divilulged in a post ER phone call by my new Dr who was informed of NONE of the above. I am on my 4th involuntary multi day fast in 2 months. Gave up all carbs, attempted Keto. But now I randomly cannot process the little bit of vegetables i attempt to add in, setting off tge diverticulitis again. Howevver increasing fat intake causes mild painful spasms in my liver area. I dont know what to do anymore. I have lost an insane amount of weight in a very short time (20lbs/1.5 months). When i can eat i have great energy. I walk an average of 5 km's a day (a bit less when i cannot eat). But those times where I am getting a prkper caloric intake are getting fewer and i dont know what to do. Now dairy seems to be causing inflamation in my eyes, and beef is off the menu until i can get the proper test for hemochromatosis. I feel completely abandoned by the medical community and I second guess every single one of my nutritional decisions as it feels that each one i make has the potential to finish me off. I am spiraling into a very dark place. What is the difference in approach to treatment for alcoholic liver vs NAFLD vs damage caused by high iron or impact injury? I am obviously doimg everything wrong here!

Dear Whiskeybrush. Your story was mine. High ferritin indicates inflammation. It took me years to understand every issue I had was an expression of inflammation. I had developed breast cancer , had terrible allergies, terrible IBS, ulceritis colitis, hemorrhagic bladder infections, terrible psoriasis, very painful bouts of hurt muscles and joints, non alcoholic fatty liver, lost dramatic 45 pounds. Had terrible pain under my left rib cage for months. Wasn't trying to lose weight. Suddenly I realized I was dying of malnutrition. I had stones in my gallbladder from such low fat intake. I went to an elimination diet. All the rumanant meat I could eat, Redmonds salt, lots of butter, lard and tallow. I stopped all dairy ( I love dairy) , stopped all grains and stopped all prescription meds. Within 90 days every single issue I had suffered with for DECADES was gone. Even my deep dark depression dissipated. Never could I have anticipated such a turn around. Since then I have studied biochem and I follow Drs Bikman, Berry, Baker, Diamond, Mason, Fung , Lustig, Seyfried etc. To gain a foothold on years of malnutrition I took NAC, ALA , liquid fermented Bs, Keto Chow minerals and as much Redmonds salt as I wanted. Now I am metabolically sound, walk daily, and am cancer free. I occasionally eat a low carb vege like asparagus but I am essentially a high fat carnivore. I'm 66. No, I have not had a face lift ....yet.

When I was in my 40's, I am now 74, I was told I had Fatty Liver. THE GI specialist suggested a Liver biopsy to confirm the diagnosis. I was skeptical as I had known people to bleed with Liver biopsies. But I asked what will be the treatment difference if the biopsy confirms Fatty Liver and is there a chance you could biopsy a part of the Liver with no Fatty deposits?..Liver is a good sized organ. Anyway, no treatment difference and actually I was offered nothing in terms of treatment other than to suggest "maybe if you lose weight you will help yourself to prevent cirrhosis" and eat low fat diet. I moved through every diet known at that time with varying degrees of success. I gained the most weight when I shifted to full in vegetarian and then vegan diet for about 2-3 yrs. I finally stopped veganism and eventually learned about fasting, keto and low carb lifestyle changes when I was nearly 70. I reversed my Fatty liver confirmed by ultra sound. Our medical educational systems must catch up with reality of physiology so that our clinicians can know what the heck they are doing. It will help a lot of people to improve their health earlier in their lives

Hi I'm a Secondary school teacher and are VERY happy that you post these classrooms. It helps me to create lessons that are up to date! I have a question. You are in different videos speaking of that the body only burns fat when insuline levels are low. How does this function with what I was tought, the three sorts of metabolism in the cell. 1 anaerobic creatine phosphate. 2 anaerobic glycolysis 3 aerobic metabolism of glukos, fat or protein. Doesn't the rate/type of exersice or the time engaging in a specific exersice also determine what fuel is beeing burned for ATP? Thanks!

Excellent! Please also stress in the therapeutic part of talks that frequent eating (even of keto foods) will keep insulin elevated?

Dr. Bikman, what daily balance between carbs, protein and fat do you recommend? And, regarding fat, how much saturated, mono- and poly?

I am a great fan of Dr. Ben Bikman’s talks and presentations. I bought his book a few months ago; an eye opener on so many metabolic processes going on in our bodies. I started a Low Carb High Fat diet 4 months ago. I just received the results of my blood panel. HDL has increased significantly and TG plumbed way down. HbA1C is low. My fasting insulin is very low and so is HOMA-IR. I also lost about 10 kg and my blood pressure is back to "acceptable" ranges (no more medicines). So I am quite happy, except for 2 markers, involving the liver, which have increased significantly! These are ASAT and ALAT. They used to be well below the upper limit (34 U/l and 55 U/l respectively - In France where I live) before I started the LCHF diet. Now my ASAT is just over the upper limit and my ALAT just under the upper limit. Has anybody experienced this when on a LCHF diet? Is there a possible link with what Dr Bikman has explained in this presentation? Thank you again Dr Bikman with your brilliant presentations.

T2 on insulin for 5 years, of course I ended up with a fatty liver. I was only ever advised to lose weight! Gee thanks doc. I finally decided that I had had enough of my enormous stomach and first found Jason Fung's videos and then fell down the rabbit hole. I took myself off insulin on the 25th Feb 2024 (so just 36 days ago) on the same day that I went carnivore. I check my BG levels 4 times a day and in this short time period they are now perfect, I am comfortably around 5 mmol/L with minimal fluctuations. I haven't watched the video yet, but I hope I learn how long it will take my liver to heal. Edit: 30:48 My ALT (53) : AST (47) ratio is 1.12 so just over 1. No frame of reference given for a healthy ratio range.

Dear Professor, I tried to find your stance on high carb populations and metabolic health in videos, but could find any. May I ask how you explain the health of populations with a relatively high amount of carbs, such as the Japanese or many Pacific islanders such as (famously) the Kitavans? If they consume high amounts of carbs and seem to be healthy, are there other factors to mitigate this? Cheers! 🙂

I wished my Doctor knew this!

Thx Doc.I was hoping u to revealed the symptoms associated with fatty liver.👍But no problem.

I have been carnivore for apx 4 years and maintain ketone level above 1.8 mmol/l most of the time and occasionally going as high as 5.0 mmol/l without taking ketones or fasting.

My recent ALT/AST ratio is 1.55. This was after 3 months carnivore (with some alcohol use). Prior was a vegan diet with alcohol and crap food towards the end. Now trying to focus on high fat carnivore (no alcohol obv). Should I stick with a high fat carnivore diet, or try lower fat? If lower fat, would the higher protein affect insulin enough to matter? You mentioned whole fruits and veggies.... is this a route I need to go in order to heal FLD? My digestion doesn't do fiber, soooo....?
