It is in english, first book translated in Dutch my language. What I learned sofar is that when mitochtondia are not optimal healthy there are health issues all over, caused by stress, chronic inflammation IBD etc etc In his book he explains how angionesis works and what it is and which food contribute to your health. Of course fresh food not processed food no artificial sweeteners, seafood, dark chicken meat, raw nuts all kinds especially walnuts but be ware, good protein but als energy. It is the question how to beat the lock to healthy metabolic systeem what has the key besides also our microbioom, good gut bacteria. Sugar appears in so different kind of names as maltose, dextrose, syrup etc I believe I heard 162 alias names exists, this is what food industry does, they make us want to eat, drink more through sugar salt and saturated fat..... Good luck you are not alone, me myself struggle with same issue. Kind regards Yvonne

Dr Westman is absolutely right, about everything. I've been doing Keto for ten months, lost 35 lbs, feel great, lipid panels are awesome... I eat all the food I want, once a day, and drink water. I'm amazed at how simple it really is, just had to stop eating carbs, and garbage.

@@user-dc9uh1rs3k you can easily bulk out your diet with ground beef, eggs and butter - I only have steak once or twice a week and a large piece of slow cooked beef at the weekend, my food bill is much lower on carnivore than when I ate a mixed diet - no take outs for a start

I'm mostly animal based foods for the last two years. I lost 70lb in five months and back to my figure from 30yrs ago. He's right in that you lose that need to be eating all the time. I dont track macros and I don't calorie count. I have days where I don't eat much at all because I'm just not hungry, then I follow with days of eating a LOT. Every 6mths or so I do a planned two or three day fast for cell repair. He's also correct that you dont need expensive coaching or subscriptions.

Fresh milled grain has 40 of 44 essential vitamins and minerals needed to sustain life. So bread made with freshly milled flour plus only healthy ingredients such as olive oil, salt, maybe eggs is good for you and also full of fiber which prevents the blood sugar spikes and keeps you full-unlike all nutrition deficient commercial products. If you delve into the fresh milled groups you will find even type 2 diabetics can eat it, some brain/behavior issues can improve, the high source of vitamin E can cause warts which are virus caused to resolve and a host of other benefits all because of nutrients. Of course very few are going to buy the equipment and take the time to mill flour and bake so the alternative is to abstain. I think what follorurhewtt was saying is bread has become the villain because of the commercial adulterations. Read the labels to see.

Lets not give up! I too am a 72 year old woman. (How did that happen??) I've been doing a low carb diet for a year at least. The weight did come off, gradually, but so did the muscle. Fat stayed. I've read and heard that the older we get the harder it is to lose weight. My big issue now is the sarcopenia. I can walk, but have a severe frozen shoulder and can't really do the exercises to help my pecs (gone!) and flabby arms. It is disappointing when you gain instead of losing. And trying so hard. Could it be water weight? Well, I'm going to figure it out, and hope you do too!

Doctor W, I’ve been keto for five years and kept the 40 lbs off until now. Not doing anything any differently, but suddenly 10 pounds. Yes I’m a lady of a certain age, but I’ve been getting cleaner and cleaner in my diet because of this - and I already was pretty clean, (that’s the only way to keep the 40 pounds off in the first place… ) But now it’s not helping. And I’m exercising a little bit more too. I’m kind of wondering if Claritin could be causing it because I just heard that antihistamines can cause weight gain? Is this a real thing? That’s not new either. But I’m baffled, just trying to figure it out.

I would look into Dr Gabriel Lyons and her interview with Dr Mary Claire Haiver.

I had the best results doing OMAD, certainly was not Plant based. Not doing OMAD atm, as I am in maintenance mode. When I did OMAD ( just one way of eating - not a diet ) I lost 18 kgs / 39 lbs. When tracked which was rare - my intake comprised of 60% fat and 20% each from carbs and Protein. Protein came to about half of what is currently recommend, again not ideal but it worked our for me. Did I worry about creating or wanting to know my kcal requirements...NO. I simply ate so I could sustain 23 hours of no kcal intake. The what to eat is a trial and error journey - your trial and error journey, not what others say or what is said or written down. No cravings - no feeling of being hungry or angry. No feelings of being high or low compared to when I was eating multiple times per day and eating loads of carbs, in all forms that it comes in. No need for any injections or any medical visitations or interventions. When it came to protein - I always made sure it was complete. So if I did eat rice it was with beans - but that was rare. It usually takes 5 hours for the stomach to fully empty, so I try not intake any kcal 5 hours before bedtime. That is when I would start my FASTING clock, i.e. 5 hours after my last intake.

You might need to re-evaluate how low carb you are. It's pretty easy to start to slip in a few extra here and there. That's why I do 0 or as close to 0 as I can. No chance of extra slipping in. Also, make sure you are getting enough fat. Should be at least as much fat as protein. If I get too much protein, my numbers start to go up again. Those are a few things you might try and look into.

20 grams of carbs or less to do keto properly. You can do lots of vegetables and some protein and some fat. Just no fruit, sugar, bread, pasta, rice, potatoes or anything that is starchy. You can also do keto by doing a carnivore diet which is protein and high fat. Both of these ways of eating are cutting out carbs and will put you into ketosis.

A few questions... I really don't think avoiding fruit completely is smart. It's filled with vital nutrients/antioxidants/fiber etc. .... If you are a healthy person, eat fruit... If you need to avoid it for metabolic reasons, do so only temp. Imo -- but I'm no one. - my children DO eat maybe too much fruit though - as vegetarians their diet is predominantly fruit and veggies -- with some gluten free grains and tofu. We recently gave up dairy completely as that actually makes no sense to ingest. ... But with them having a high fruit diet... It means high carbs. (Not bad sugar) But sugar regardless... Am I causing them damage? Am I setting them up for a bad future ? -how can one do a low carb diet as a vegetarian or vegan (no dairy) ??.. is it even possible without becoming nutritionally deficient... Or becoming too low calorie ? - also there is a lot of research out there suggesting that keto cannot be done the same way for women as it is for men.. everything it seems is based off of a males physiology... But apparently going too low in carb can be detrimental to a woman's fertility and hormones etc... what are your thoughts on that ?

Why did keto lose to calories in all the meta at studies? Why shouldn't I think this is totally nonsense!!!!!!

@happyhabitpodcast

28 күн бұрын

All calories are not equal, in addition the metabolism can adjust to a low calorie diet which is why people plateau after being on a low calorie diet for a period of time. The difference between the ketogenic diet and low calorie approach is keto forces the body to burn fat instead of glucose for fuel. In fact keto is itself a version of a lower calorie diet but it drastically reduces carb intake and promotes the production of ketones. Low calorie diets that still allow majority carb consumption perpetuates the glucose/ insulin spike cycle and resultant inflammation. Remember ,keto isn't purely a weightloss diet, its a diet that addresses metabolic dysfunction such as high blood pressure, insulin resistance etc

Where are the studies that support this? Didn't the meta studies debunk keto for fat loss? Why should we believe you?
