Don't let anyone tell you type 1 diabetes is permanent just because you were born with it; it can be reversed completely. www.semanticscholar.org/paper/Reversal-of-type-1-diabetes-using-plant-based-diet%3A-Chowdhury/e19014ec84f07635e61b321addb3dfbb851a9635 «Type-1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease characterized by hyperglycemia, inability to produce insulin due to self-destruction of beta cells in the pancreas. The epidemic of type-1 diabetes causes irreversible suffering like retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, foot complications, high blood pressure, etc, and put patients on a life sentence with insulin. The common perception in medical science is that sugar levels cannot be normalized without the help of medication.

Absolutely no doctor has ever told their diabetic patient to go on a low carb diet until very recently. They would have risked being struck off. You need to say exactly what your ‘low carb’ diet was that led to T2D and whether you were overweight and gaining weight on it. My bet is that you had roughly equal % of carbs and fats and the fats were likely not stable ones (animal fats) and you were over eating. It’s great that you no longer have T2D though👍 but blaming low carb for T2D without explaining what you mean by that has zero credibility.

Loving meat, cheese, eggs etc I loved the idea of Sarah's approach but it wasn't long before my neuropathy was so painful I had to stop. Switching to Neal Barnard's way sorted out my diabetes as well as my neuropathy. I don't like it as much but the bottom line is - it works.

Plant Chompers is easily one of my favorite creators on YT.

Each video is so well done! The quality and fact checking is better than most Netflix documentaries 👏🏻

I love the research effort you put into these videos. It is truly exceptional. One of the problems with this conversation is the terminology people use. "high carb" is quite meaningless unless you define where those carbohydrates are coming from (whole foods or processed foods and the specific foods eaten). "low carb" can also be very misleading because it fails to define the volume of different foods in the diet. It's easy to create a "low carb" diet that is 80% whole plant foods for example...just fill up most of your plate with non-starchy vegetables. As a health writer I've studied most of the keto, zone, etc diets and a most of the whole food, plant based diets. There is some useful information in most of these books and problems with diets that go to extremes on both spectrums. INSULIN RESISTANCE DRIVEN BY DIETARY FATS & OILS One of the key problems with type 2 diabetes is insulin resistance. A simplistic way to explain it is to say that less fluid fats (saturated fats, hydrogenated oils etc) become part of the cell membranes in the muscle cells making difficult for the insulin receptors to function efficiently. This basic concept is accepted by doctors on the whole food, plant based sides and doctors on the "low carb" side (Dr Barry Sears Zone diet in particular which does have some nice work on explaining the role of lipids in the cells). BLOOD GLUCOSE & INSULIN SPIKES FROM FOOD INTAKE The food we eat causes blood glucose to rise and the low carb doctors are correct...someone who is insulin resistant eating large quantities of carbohydrates in a meal is likely to spike their blood glucose levels leading to an insulin spike and all its associated problems. Processed foods high in sugar and poor choices of fats (saturated fats, hydrogenated fats etc) are especially problematic. With someone who has high insulin resistance any type of high carbohydrate food is likely to spike their insulin levels...fruits, potatoes etc...they may all be a problem. And with a glucometer they can measure their blood glucose response so we know that there are problems there. Contrary to what some fringe diet exponents will tell you all whole plant based foods are not safe for type 2 diabetics. But it's important to note that any meal high in calories will spike insulin levels. And many protein sources including animal protein will spike blood glucose and insulin levels too. processed meats are especially problematic. When it comes to people with diabetes there is no type of high calorie meal that is "safe". You can't wolf down a plate full of meat and think that's okay. IF YOU KEEP EATING A DIET HIGH IN ANIMAL PROTEIN YOU'LL LIKELY STAY INSULIN RESISTANT Also diets high in animal protein have another problem. The poor choices of fat that lead to insulin resistance are in the cells of the animals people eat. So unless you restrict or remove your intake of animal protein it's unlikely you'll completely resolve the problem of insulin resistance. People on diets high in animal protein need to keep restricting their carbohydrate intake and calorie intake indefinitely to control their blood glucose and insulin levels because they are mostly insulin resistant. My vegan friends won't like me saying it but you can have a quite healthy diet eating modestly portioned, leaner choices of animal protein if half or more of the volume of what you eat is non-starchy vegetables and you minimize or eliminate processed foods. Most of the sensible low carb diets follow a model something like this. But there are better ways of doing things that deal with the core problem of insulin resistance. Early studies on diets that are lower in total high carbohydrate intake AND plant based are much more effective at controlling blood glucose and insulin than their animal protein counterparts. The "eco-Atkins" diet is an example of this. The evidence also points to whole food plant based diets helping increase insulin sensitivity and decrease insulin resistance. One of the problems with some plant based dieters is they don't understand that developing good insulin sensitivity is a process that takes time. You don't recommend a type 2 diabetic start eating a diet high in high glycemic fruit and vegetables from day one. The first recommendation is usually to cut back or cut out the animal protein replacing it with whole food plant based proteins and make non-starchy vegetables at least half the volume of what you eat every time you eat. Over time as insulin sensitivity rises people monitoring their blood glucose will find they can eat higher glycemic fruits and vegetables without that spiking blood glucose. EXERCISE & ACTIVITY LEVELS ARE A HUGE KEY Your activity levels and regular exercise profoundly affect your insulin sensitivity so any conversation of diet should include a conversation about activity and exercise. Put simply you should be constantly active most of the day and get some more vigorous exercise at least once or twice a day. One last point. I always laugh when diet doctors try to point to food pyramids as the harbinger of evil diets. The average person takes no notice of those food pyramids. Have you ever seen anyone at a supermarket or a takeaway checking the food pyramid on their mobile before they order their big mac with fries and coke?

No one is going to read all this

Both diets have the same thing in common. Eat whole foods. Don't eat processed foods. I do better with low carb (reversed my diabetes), but I know others who seem to do well with with whole food higher carbs. We should embrace commonalities in healthy diets instead of pitting one diet against another. The SAD should be the common enemy!

I don’t think T2D send T1D can be discussed as being related. The challenge with T1D is that exogenous insulin is required as the body can’t produce its own. Thus, the idea of avoiding foods which avoid large rises in glucose means that much smaller doses of insulin are required. This has the enormous benefit of reducing the likelihood someone might accidentally overshoot the dose and end up in a coma. However, with CGM and insulin pumps, being able to manage a higher carb diet is likely less difficult nowadays. T2D is a different beast which manifests in high blood glucose but has a combination of causes. My own endocrinologist on diagnosis said there are many things which may contribute in different degrees that it is difficult to pinpoint exactly what pushes the glucose up. Luckily, we diabetics have one superpower. We can test for ourselves. There is no need to listen to anyone’s opinion. Simply eat something and see what happens. I learned 13 years ago that rice and noodles send mine through the roof. Museli (even the lowest carb available) for breakfast was a disaster. Any more than 2 slices of the highest fiber bread I can find does the same. Root vegetables push up but less dramatically so smaller portions are an option from time to time. I has a very clear choice, avoid foods that cause sharp rises in blood glucose or take medication to pharmacologically lower glucose. I opted for the non-pharma solution. So, for anyone wanting to know, get a CGM and see for yourself! If you can find a whole food plant based diet that keeps glucose in normal ranges (and an A1C lower than 5.8 - although I prefer to keep mine under 5.4) then go for it. If you need some medication to help, that’s a choice that can also be made. I couldn’t, so defaulted to eating more meat as it is one of the few ‘carb free’ food sources. I did this long before I’d even heard of low carb or keto - it was a simple case of testing my blood after various meals!

I am 57, practice intermittent fasting(best thing), bp average 100/65, resting heart rate mid 40s, aaaaaaand plant based mostly carbs and never felt better.

Regarding natural foods being more bland, it may be also that people's tastes are inured to more subtle flavors because salt, sugar, are so overwhelmingly strong, that you get used to that flavor. I have noticed that when you eliminate sugar, at some point everything actually tastes sweet, even things like beans and whole grains. Organic carrots with the tops on, are SWEET. So are sweet potatoes, butternut squash, without overwhelming your taste buds with refined sugar, these foods have their own subtle sweetness. Same with salt, when you reduce overall salt in your diet, very salty foods are intolerably salty.

The videos his daughter and wife put out are very entertaining and provide great meal ideas.

There's 2 very simple facts that point to how we should eat: 1. Primates, which we evolved from and share most of our DNA with, ate nearly all plant based for millions of years. This is what our digestive system took all that time adapting to and thriving on. 2. Population studies that show largely, if not exclusively, plant based diets tied to longevity and overall health. All this meat and diabetes talk is a modern issue created by our bad habits we've developed as a modern society. Follow our anthropology trail and you'll see the light✌🌱

​@Rick Vis Not to mention that our stomach acid is on the level of Carrion feeders like ravens and close to vultures. Higher than most carnivores, higher than herbivores. The large hind gut that ferments and extracts energy from cellulose, the predominant form of plant sugar is indigestible to us, whereas say in a gorilla, it provides all their energy. The main reason we've bred plants to have higher and higher sugar and carbohydrate and less fiber is because it's what we like and what's easy to produce in large quantity. Humans also have large gallbladders, which are used to store and concentrate bile for breaking down large quantities of fat in one sitting. Our appendix is practically useless and causes more harm than good these days when it gets inflamed. Our large brains require large quantities of omega 3 fatty acids that are in I'll quantity in non-animal based foods. We also don't find vitamin b12 in plant based foods and we don't eat our excrement like apes do, to get it. That would, by nature, make us obligate carnivores. Obligated to eat meat. With science, we've fuddled the system and what we're eating now is nothing like what we have in the past.

EXCELLENT post, thank you!

I am a little unique in that I was born with a pre-diabetic condition and have tried both strict whole foods vegan and clean keto diets to control my blood sugar issues. So I can give you a basic breakdown on how both worked for me. Keto Pros: Best blood sugar control (in a way) When you train your body to run on ketones blood glucose does not matter much at all so even if you get low you won't even notice. I have NEVER had a blood glucose issue of any sort while in ketosis. Most stable energy of any diet by far. Better cardio better sleep and far less cravings. Lost over 30lbs without ever counting calories and kept most of it off with annual cycles. Cons: Hardest diet around to stick to since there are added carbs in nearly everything and carbs are more addictive than heroine, plus I cannot do it in the summer since I live in a hot climate and keto makes you more prone to dehydration issues and I work outdoors. Other: Keto community is generally supportive and helpful although there are a few carnivore quacks hanging around that will swear by some absolutely crazy $#!^. Vegan Pros: Much easier to stick to since carb addiction is vastly stronger than any meat addiction could ever hope to be. The food is far better than I though it would be. Cons: Much less blood glucose control than with keto although I have never had a severe issue while on vegan just minor ones that left me feeling shaky and drained. I never lost any weight on vegan like I did on keto. Other: Vegan community is generally toxic as hell, I have never in my life seen such a flock of idiotic angry brainwashed sheep shouting absolute propaganda nonsense, that said there are a few gems in the community that are worth their weight in gold and more than make up for the other 90% being so freaking stupid, to be fair I am talking about the online community as I live in Texas and vegans here are as rare as frog fangs so the online community was all I had to go by, if you have real life vegans where you live your mileage may vary. Overall I decided to cycle keto every fall and winter while going more plant based in the hot summer months, this might sound crazy but I have not had any life threatening issues since Aug of 2008 so it is clearly working for me. I have thought many times about a vegan keto cycle but vegans are VERY dogmatic about their diet must be high carb low fat and get mad if you even ask about doing something different. Vegan and keto can both work, and they work for very different reasons. The vegan approach is to make the body more insulin sensitive improving overall stability. Keto works by reducing insulin itself and activating the body's backup metabolic system. If I had to choose one or the other I would have to say keto but bio-individuality is really a thing so your mileage may vary so try both if you are fighting with life threatening blood glucose issues. One thing for absolute certain the current SAD (Standard American Diet) of high carb, moderate fat and moderate protein with all of our trash seed oils and refined carbs is the absolute worst diet on the planet and anything that gets people away from that junk food I am all for. What I have learned is resistant starch, a wide variety of fiber, and clean fats (olive/coconut/avacado oil) as well as some animal fats are good while excess soy, corn and processed foods of all kinds are very very bad.

I am not sold on that low carb negative publicity. True low carb is With the low carb diet I have a HbA1c between 4.5-4.8%.

Trust me the meat industry is not as deep in the government’s pockets as the whole grain BS food makers. Grains and sugars are chemically identical when metabolized they both turn to the same glucose molecules. I got that from your video natural or not the harm is similar. Which is bizarre with the climate change cult is that over planting crops is just if not more harmful to the environment as animal farms. Furthermore almonds which is an essential protein source for the vegans requires ridiculous amounts of water to grow.

What if the problem is neither low fat nor low carb? What if the problem is combining fat and carbs? If you just eat high fat and no carbs you’re fine, and if you eat high carbs and low fat, you are fine also. But if combine the two and you eat something like french fries, you’re in trouble. 🤔

Carb (which is digested into glucose) is not an essential nutrient as our body is able to generate it via gluconeogenesis. Moreover with a weaker digestive system, I don't want to deal with all the Phytate, Tanin and Lectin present in most plants unless I have very complex digestive system such as cows and elephants. You are right in highlighting High fats and High carb. Fats (saturated, short to medium chain triglycerides but avoid poly-unsaturated) stimulate the release of Ketones which signal your body to burn fats as fuel. Carb (which is digested into glucose) however stimulate the release of Insulin which signal your body to burn glucose as fuel. Further to that it also makes your body store any excessive glucose as triglycerides (a form of fats) initially in your liver and when it is full, they will be pushed out around the waistline and beyond. So when you have high carb and High fats, your body had to choose which to use for fuel and which hormones should presides. In this situation, Insulin will preside because the body have to survive as High glucose have very detrimental effects to organs, tissues and nerves. Then any excessive glucose with be converted to fats for storage. Naturally the High fats you eat will pile on to that. I check my glucose level after every meal since I was diagnosed with severe diabetes (HbA1C @ 13.1%) 2 years ago needing insulin injections daily and sulfonylurea drugs before every meal. I suffered for many months until I decided it ignore my nutritionist advice and pay attention to my glucometer. Now I'm getting better, blood markers, HbA1C and lipids analysis are all normal and I no longer need those daily injection and need only about 1/2 a pill for breakfast. Occasionally I do pop a pill if I'm prepared to have some fruits such as durian. My glucometer has been my saving grace.

yes, most animals can camouflage themselves, run away or even fight back when predated upon. Plants just hang around waiting to be eaten with almost no defense. Nature is so unfair to plants .... tsk tsk tsk.

Eating a low fat, low meat high carb diet (mostly plants starches, rice etc.) is what gave me type two diabetes. So I think the question should be - High carb low fat - or low carb - keto and I choose the low carb (very very low carb) High meat and low fat.

This video is incredibly well done

I have read all four of these books and am carefully reading them again, while experimenting with various meals. I am 70 years old, prediabetic, but slim. So far, over the past six months, my weight, blood glucose and blood lipids have greatly improved on a low-carb, higher fat, adequate protein diet of WHOLE foods, mostly cooked at home. This is one commonality between these diets. They both stress real, not refined foods.

yes, as we grow older our body re-generative process is less efficient and protein and fats are what we need most as main building blocks for repairs. Both are essential nutrients but not carbohydrates as it can be generated by our body under the process of gluconeogenesis. Older people also have a weaker digestive system and would not be able to handle most of those anti-nutrients e.g. Phytate, Tannin or Lectin common in non-poisonous plants. They are natural defense system of plants as they too do not want to be easily eaten. Hence herbivore have more elaborate digestive system and even so, their dungs are still classified as fertiliser as they are still nutrient packed (only semi-digested).

Sounds like you are listening to some dubious science, ie famous KZreadr, selling supplements, creams and potions. Fruits, vegetables, nuts and beans are not poisonous. No reputable cardiologist recommends more red meat, butter or saturated fat.

That was fantastic. At the end of 2020 I miraculously came through 17 years of horrendous pain. In the last 3. 5 years I have lost 40 kg. I had been insulin resistant for 50 years and was told many times I would end up a diabetic. I first tried the ketogenic diet and after going of all the pain medications I realised the pain had not gone. Yes I did lose a lot of weight. Then I did more research and started whole foods plant based and the pain left in 4 weeks. That was 8 months ago and I have never looked back. I love eating this way, have more energy, a clear head , no insulin resistant and feel so much gratitude for the life I have back. Pirkko from Queensland Australia

No one can tell me what you guys are consuming is doing you any good. It may help you in some ways but kill you in others I wish some of you at least will open your eyes

The answer: we need BOTH fats and carbs. A balanced diet is key. Too much of anything isn't good.

It’s very polarising. The Keto diet seems to appeal to those who want to lose weight and don’t want to give up meat.

Super good job again!! I have been whole foods nutritarian for 4yrs now. love all the plant Docs I heard Dr Walter Willet when asked what is the optimal amount of meat in the diet and his answer was zero!! I did love the later Nathan Pritikin the pioneer in my opinion. I have been growing allot of my own food for taste and quality and a carrot tastes like a carrot and tomato like tomato. but why just why did you have to bring up Dorrito's . I could fill a swimming pool with them and dive in. Now I have to go back to Dorrito rehab>>

All I know is when I eat a healthy meal of maybe chicken, potatoes, carrots and salad, if I put lots of butter on the potato and carrots, and am generous with an oil/vinegar dressing, I do not get hungry for hours later. If I skip the fat, skin my chicken (or eliminate it) and use fat free dressing on my salad, herbs on my potato and carrots, etc. I will be famished in a couple of hours. I think it is the combination of oils and REFINED carbs that do us in. I can eat a slice of toast with a lot of butter on it with my coffee, which has cream in it, and I am not hungry until much later in the day. But if you give me a slice of toast with scant butter or just jelly on it, and coffee with regular or skim milk, same thing happens. I get hungry. Protein helps to put a lid on hunger for me, but so does fat. If I have fat, I can skip wanting bread or dessert. I'm still experimenting with it. I am thinking that the body, when it feels fats coming in, it is thinking that all is well, and it doesn't have to send out hunger signals. But there is more to the picture, and I'm no chemist. I have tried the KETO diet and ended up craving carbs. Maybe it's a matter of natural whole foods, regardless of whether it is carb or not.

That dichotomy you mention nails it! Eat too little high fiber carbs on a keto or paleo etc. and your intestines get sluggish; eat too little fat on the other diets and you want to eat all the time 😂😂😂! The latter syndrome I actually enjoy, but I’m probably “weird” - plus not everyone has a job or lifestyle where they can take such breaks. But if I walk or work (including mental - not just physical - work), I don’t think about food whatsoever usually. It is when you stop working that hunger pangs can manifest too often. Walking and other exercise (including weights if you want) really acts as a flywheel - at least for me. It smooths the whole system out. That is why I’ve enjoyed walking my whole life. For me vegan ism and calorie counting are fun - although sometimes I get a little impatient measuring and weighing all my food. While I’ve never had any blood sugar or obesity problems, now that I’m in my mid sixties I finally went vegan after being vegetarian most of my life. Good luck!!!!

Carbohydrates are sugar, starch and cellulose. Sugar and starch will spike blood sugars, that is the reason foods with carbs have GI. Protein too, will rise but in moderate. Instead of trying to prove there is one size fits all one should talk about personalised diet, furthermore, it is about the amount we eat or we choose not to. Thirdly…. There are number of other professionals talking for LCHF than these two mentioned as well as there are bunch of people for plant based or vegan What most of pros agree, it is ultra processed foods we should avoid, that is refined carbs and vegetable oils … usually all the ‘packages foods’ Talking about personalised diet… i used to follow Nordic diet for all my life ( native Nordic), and i become T2D. Today I am vegetarian but I will avoid cereals and starchy foods, but I also need supplements, that is dairy and meat. Just because of few facts, we are omnivores, I couldn’t eat that much just veggies to become satiety but replacing proteins and fats more to sugars and starch would spike my glucose immediately. So my option is SH (RIP)…. FYI…. Summer 2023 they will publish new Nordic dietary guidelines and… based on initial information they have given up the food pyramid. Instead it looks pretty much than that in the US back in 50’s before Ansel Keys and his “7 county study”. No more that much carbs, but everything in moderate Bon appetite!

I sometimes wonder if that hasn’t always been the source of the problem. When I was a child in the 1960s, food was expensive, especially meat; and meals were heavily starched based: lots of potatoes, or rice, or pasta, depending on where you were from. As we got wealthier, or food got cheaper, we ate more meat, fish, eggs, & dairy. And we started getting fat. Processed food has been the scapegoat for a while, but maybe animal products are equally to blame. I do find it a lot easier to keep my weight down on a vegan diet.

Wow! If you weren't confused before you watched this video, you certainly will be when you're done. Names, books, diets firing at you one after another at a pace that no normal person could process without going back and doing tons of independent research. Very little, if any actual science on why a particular diet is better, or worse. One exception that was interesting was the part about the "Dorito effect". For a minute there the narrative slowed down a bit and I actually learned something. I don't know if this was intentionally meant to be confusing, or if the creator just tried to cram too much information into too little time. Either way I'm just as much or more confused on what is a healthy diet as I was before.

Excellent video!

Pigs are fed sugar in the form of processed foods. I worked in a Krisp Cream donut factory, the donuts that did not meet quality are sent to the pig farms.

I have a younger brother currently 65 years old with type 2. Eleven years ago he was convinced low carb was the answer. He just happened to have a calcium heart scan done at that time and his score was 147. He stayed low carb for five years and it did control his blood sugar fairly well. He had another scan done at that time and his score was just around the 400 level. His solution? Obviously, he wasn't low carb enough. To him it was excessive insulin and blood sugar causing his score to go up. So, he went Keto for the next three years. And the last two years he decided carnivore was the answer. What was unfortune was that his calcium score was now around 800. And eight month after the last scan he had six stents placed because he was short of breath walking from his house to the mail box and back. So yes, keto, carnivore and low carb did control his type 2 extremely well, but he's mortgaged his future health in the process.

I love all your videos, but this is probably the best. I‘m very interested in the subject of diabetes, because my godchild was diagnosed with type I when she was six. Even when I went vegan I and heard all about the benefits for any civilisation illness (that‘s what we call them in German) I never said anything to her or her mother, because I wanted to avoid conflicts of any kind. But now she is 22 and training give dietary advice to other type I sufferers so I can no longer hold still. Her birthday is coming up and she‘ll get either of the two books you recommend. Thank you so much for the hard work you put into your videos. The research, the visuals, the humour make you videos into absolute highlights.
