Healthy keto saved my life. I've been pain-free and type-2-diabetes-free since 2017. Never going back to eating carbs, sugars and processed oils. Yes, it's a restrictive diet: it restricts the pain right out of my body and I am so grateful.

No you do not need to be in ketosis to get the benefits of Keto… listening to this was so frustrating as this Dr should have been on the Keto himself to really understand keto! Were these people in the trial actually Fat adapted to start with? I know many people who have been on a Keto diet for years with no problem. It is not a diet it is a lifestyle and not restrictive apart from abstaining from all the things that are not good for humans in the first place. Fibre is a furfy! Too much fibre is not good! I was never sicker than when I was eating fruit and many vegetables and whole grains….that gave me IBS! Meat is full of nutrients and fibre, Keto is high fat but also protein, if you don’t eat enough Fat or get enough protein then the Keto lifestyle will be hard to stick to. Most people I have heard of who fail with Keto are not eating enough nutrient dense food and allow themselves to get hungry. I wait to hear what the outcome of the “poo” from this study show. To the person whom said Keto was horrendous… maybe they don’t like cooking or eating luscious food? This morning I made a coffee with whipped pure cream, bacon and eggs then for lunch I had a delicious Cheese and ham Omelette. Served with 2 cups of green mixed salad. Dinner was a Pizza made on a base of minced Chicken topped with bacon and three different cheeses…and a small amount of onion and capsicum and low carb tomato and oregano sauce.. (home made)….desert was Yoghurt and blueberries with a dollop of cream. Eating this way for 6 years and dropped three dress sizes and no more aches and pains!! Oh and having a high LDL is not the problem… most of the research used when it comes to cholesterol levels and heart etc… is all done on people who are on very high carb and highly process food ways of eating… the data is not reliable…

I have been following the keto lifestyle for 3 years and love it. I lost 120 pounds and my prediabetes is resolved. At 61, I am healthier than I have been for 30 years. i can even bend over and tie my shoes without blacking out. My blood work is excellent and my body weight is where it should be. One thought, all of the major food manufacturers and Pharma hope we do not take up this lifestyle, they will go broke.

HyperKeto isn't just about losing weight-it's about reclaiming your vitality and optimizing your health from the inside out. By adopting a ketogenic lifestyle with HyperKeto, you'll experience a myriad of benefits beyond the scale. From increased mental clarity and focus to stabilized energy levels throughout the day, the positive effects are truly profound. Plus, with the abundance of mouthwatering recipes and meal plans provided, sticking to the program becomes effortless. Don't just imagine a healthier, happier you-make it a reality with HyperKeto.

What a disappointment to have only one speaker discussing one paper. I would rather have several experts discussing the evidence rather than this interview. Just not helpful and, I felt misleading. The keto diet is not fundamentally low in fibre. Look at nutritional tables for leafy green veg, asparagus, broccoli, cucumber, zucchini… I could go on. I would recommend people to visit Diet Doctor for information based upon a wider field of evidence.

I am 85nyears young and have been on a keto programs for the past 5 years. When I started the program I was aiming for no more than 20/30 gms a day, making up the balance with 70 % fat and 30% protein. I ate red meat once a week and the balance made up of 50% fish, 50% chicken/turkey (usually dark meat). I lost weight, I lowered my A1C from 9.0 to 5.5 and have not felt better in many years. I now eat only 2 meals a day, fasting for 16 to 18 hrs. each day. Occasionally when we go out for dinner, I will cheat a little and have some bread. One of the most important aspects of my way of eating is that I record all the food I eat and I'm honest. I try to follow the program that Dr. Eric Westman recommends. He is a professor at Duke University. I too am very happy doing Keto. Best wishes to all.

Whilst I was trying to eat well with carbs, my brain seemed to have a button with "eat" written on it that it would constantly push. Occasionally I felt I had no choice but to eat a massive meal, like being a junky on carbs, eat, eat, eat, jab, jab, jab. As soon as I switched to very low carb and full fat, that constant jabbing stopped. My body felt at rest for the first time in my life. I felt like I was giving my body what it needs. So adherence is absolutely no problem at ALL. I am reducing my carb intake more and more as I learn more, and I will never go back.

Exactly this. I don't maintain strict keto, I eat low carb, high healthy fats. Eggs, avocado, vegetables, pasture raised dairy and meat in moderation, limited fruit, berries if I want them (I love blueberries or blackberries on full fat Greek yogurt) I eat very limited grains, effectively none. I do eat some unprocessed carbs, for example, occasional garbanzo beans oven roasted to golden brown and crisp are great on a salad or with a meal but they're an accent, 20-30g no more. I avoid processed foods like the plague that they are. I don't use pro-inflammatory vegetable or seed oils, avoid foods with added sugar and most GMO foods. If I really want a treat I'll have it and go back to the way I eat right away. A treat would be something I bake or high quality vanilla bean gelato. I don't crave it but I do love it and I know that we can have celebratory foods if we have them rarely and if they don't trigger us to continue eating. I learned this from Dr Jason Fung; we don't have to be rigid, instead work towards consistency. If I eat healthily 98% of the time, get exercise and good sleep, in the absence of any condition that would preclude it or trigger more eating, I can have an ice cream or some bread or a dessert at a celebration. He talks about going on a cruise with his family and eating the cruise food. When he got back he had gained some weight. He stepped up the fasting and carb restriction and lost it right away before his body began to treat it as his new set point. I've lost over 100 pounds and I bike 20 miles most days. I was disabled for over ten years due to some bad things that happened to me but I'm healthy now and I want the lost career and life time back. I know I can't have that but I can do everything to be as healthy as I can into my 50s and beyond.

I was a huge sourdough bread and pasta lover, but I would be craving more food 1-2 hours after a carb heavy meal (potatoes, rice, flaked oats as well). Before switching to a low carb, moderate protein, high fat diet style, I would start looking at the clock at 10:00 for lunch. Not an issue anymore. Not counting calories, not peeing on test strips or checking blood glucose. I just check labels for carb content and stay away on heavily processed food and seed oils. Plenty of fatty meat, fatty fish, shellfish, cheese and eggs. A bit of greek youghurt (10% fat), berries and a fair amount of leafy greens and the occasional avocado.

12 months for me and not just keto I experimented full carnivore and wow the results are dramatic. Zero fruit, zero veg, zero fibre. In the best, healthiest shape of my life. Age 65 and sprinting up and down sand dunes with no DOMS and excellent bio markers with zero arterial calcium. I'll stay with carnivore now, never going back and goodbye chronic metabolic disease. The book "The Big Fat Surprise" by Nina Teicholz explains how we got into this mental state of needing carbohydrates. If Prof. Gardner read this I am sure his well meaning views would change.

I was bedbound at 50 with ME/CFS for nearly ten years after a severe throat virus. Limiting my carbohydrates means that at 60 I am able to lead a relatively normal life once more - DIY, gardening, riding, etc. Somtimes I drop off the wagon and have bread or cake and within days I begin to have severe joints pains and feel the fatigue coming back. I'm not a keto devotee but low carbs/high protein definitely helps me manage my symptoms.

I'm going to add my two cents. I spent all of my fifties and half of my sixties gaining, gaining, gaining. Extreme stresses in my life caused me to eat too much, too often and the WRONG foods. When I finally came to realize that all this eating was my way of dealing with emotional/psychological feelings from those stresses was wrecking my life. Ended up with high blood pressure and prediabetes. Overweight by more than a hundred pounds. When I finally decided my health was more important than anything I began with Keto eating, eventually including some intermittent fasting. I've now lost 90 lbs, can finally exercise again and feel so much better. My doctor agrees. Blood sugar/AC1 is great. Blood pressure down. I DO eat carbs. However, the carbs I eat are broccoli, zucchini, greens/spinach/romaine, turnips, bell peppers, radishes. . .and so on. We eat very healthy. As far as I'm concerned I would rather do without the pasta, bread and other starches and keep my health.

Eating this way is for life and we don't miss any foods, so it's not sacrifice for a 100% improved life for us both.

To do it right listen to every one of Dr. Eric Berg DC many video's on Keto his version is Healthy Keto. He clearly explains the science and the details of why Keto works. Carbs especially fructose can trigger people to struggle and fail. I had 50 years of painful diet failures lost over 100 lbs twice, gained back the first 100 within a year, but this last time low carb with intermittent fasting has kept it off 13 years.

I come from a family that hated vegetable and eat mostly meat. My father at 99 has no health issues, my mum has only a slightly raised blood pressure at 95. They both walk about 5 km per day , are very active and enjoy life. We started having some health issues once my husband and I decided to try a plant base diet. Back to ketogenic and all our health problems are nearly gone.

Well, counter to what the professor said, you can get plenty of fiber from vegetables. Also don't forget that lettuce, collards, chard, cucumbers, peppers are carbs too.

I've been on a Keto diet for 10 months and lost 40 pounds! I am at the weight I was when I was a teenager. I have no cravings at all! This is the easiest diet I have ever been on.

I’ve lost a fair amount of weight on Keto, I have a lot more energy than I had on a carb based diet. However my main reason for starting the diet and one I never see mentioned is to control asthma., ie, it isn’t an issue when I’m on this diet. I haven’t used inhalers for five months and I can exercise without triggering an attack. I would love to see more research into this

Keeping that kind of weight off is tricky. Most people gain it all back, slowly but surely. Your body really wants to go back to the way it was, metabolism lowers and hunger increases. So you really have to stay on top of things while you adjust. Keep watching sugar and carbs, don't let your cravings get out of control. Get plenty of exercise. It didn't happen just because you went off keto. You obviously slid back into a poor diet. You can gain 20 lbs without realizing it, but 100? Come on.

This is usually what happens. People gain back more. So now that you know, why don’t you plan for it. When you reach your goal weight, why not eat keto Sunday, Tuesday, Thursday, plant only Monday, Wednesday, and then pick one day a weekend to eat normal- which is crap food. Just a suggestion. Or, just eat and go on kept keto when you are 5 pounds above your desired weight. I wish you success.

There is no such thing as "I am hungry, but not for that" If you are genuinely hungry, you will eat what is available. What you are describing is not hunger, but a craving. On Keto, I no longer crave foods, so I eat less. I am confused how this is somehow a negative.

Sure, I can see a food and desire it, but that's not real hunger. I call it head hunger. I am in absolute control of when I eat. It's friggin' amazing to have this control over my body. Many days, I'll wake up and will ask myself the question, "Am I gong to eat today?" Quite often, I decide to skip eating that day. While fasting, I can even cook for my wife, and not eat any of it. After breaking the sugar addiction and getting past the withdrawals (keto flu, which I never experienced myself), hunger is almost nonexistent. Keto, coupled with restricted eating, is amazingly effective for becoming metabolically healthy.

I have done many diets in my life. I in the last 15 years after menopause I started with dash diet and lost 25 pounds and got rid of intense sugar cravings. Then got lazy and gained a few pounds even though I was not eating sugar and processed foods. I like routine so I tried keto because I really felt terrible ,tired and lazy. I got maybe 8-10 pounds but I had energy and felt good. I tried plant based and started eating grain and a bit of bread,started to feel bad again,developed low iron as well. I have hasimotos ,ibs and gerd. I went off grains and bread and follow Atkins loosely. I eat lots of fresh vegetables, some meat and little fruit. Fruit can fire up the gerd sometimes. I am 64,5’2” and right now 126 lbs.most of all feeling good. I work 3 am to7 am 5 days a week and look after my Granddaughter 9 hours a day for a 5 days. So conclusion for me is that I do not do well on grains and bread. Just my experience!

KETO! If you’ve never tried it personally, you really don’t have a good frame of reference. I can only say that it basically saved my life. I’m 63 and I’m healthier than I’ve ever been in my life. My gut biome has never been healthier and I have boundless energy. I was afraid at first to even try it because I could not understand how this could be good for you, but it truly is and it’s life changing even beyond the weight loss and getting off prescription drugs.

After the festive season, I have to say that the major problem in staying on a restrictive diet such as keto is OTHER PEOPLE. No matter how clearly you inform people that you are staying with, or are staying with you, that you do not eat certain things, you find that they do not respect this. They even decide to pressure you to eat them, or sneak them into things that are served to you. I've even had a relative go shopping and place shop-bought cake in my fridge, as one example. She said "I thought you were losing too much weight"(my BMI is 26, she is obese). The last relly went home 4 days ago and it's going to take a while to clear my fridge of stuff he bought. Some can go in the freezer, some stay in the pantry til I have visitors again. I'm unclear whether this behaviour is a lack of understanding, or a desire to sabotage your diet, maybe because they feel you are pretending to be superior to them? Anyway, I recommend living on your own, as fortunately I do, if you want to stick to dietary restrictions.

Love the food and will not go back to eating standard american diet.

Been on keto for a year. Was pre diabetic then crossed line over to diabetic. Was put on meds. 3 months into diet, no meds, ac1 at 4-5. Lipids were very good as per dr. And weight loss so far over 50lbs. No sugar cravings at all. I get fiber from keto breads and veggies. I do take a multivitamin. Dr said keep doing it.

*Meanwhile Hyperketo*

The only thing that ever worked for me was cutting out the carbs. I never felt better in my life.

Been experimenting with keto since march 2014, ketovore since about 2019 and carnivore for maybe 6 months. Not missing carbs at all. Resistance training consistently for about 12 years. Best shape of my life at now 55.

I changed my health for the better with keto - I don’t miss bread, cake, pasta, or snacks. It’s easy to follow when you’re motivated and the dietary changes provide such tangible benefits for me. Keto has been around for way more than 50 year. It was rediscovered as a therapy for epilepsy.

Prehistoric archaeology is often grossly misleading, because remains of plant foods are generally much less well preserved than bone remains from food animals. Pleistocene human remains (older than 11,000 years) seldom preserve gut contents. New studies in Iran, of sites where food remains are unusually well preserved suggest that foraging for edible plants was a much more important part of Pleistocene diets (especially for women) than was previously assumed. They were using a pounded mixture of wild seeds, grains and legumes to make a kind of cooked, unleavened pancake, probably by heating it on hot rocks.

Their womenfolk actually bring in the majority of the diet through foraging. Carnivory can easily be identified from specialised stone tools and bone remains, but plant-food remains at archaeological sites have been greatly underestimated until very recently, when advanced microscopic, geochemical and DNA techniques have become available to identify them.

I’ve been doing keto for awhile now. Never felt better. I’m 71 years old . Plan to eat this way til I kick.

I'm keto 4 mo's, and my anxiety has reduced my 80%, LIFE CHANGING.. and I'm up 8 lbs of muscle, first time in my life, probably because my hormones are balancing out. Also my skin is super soft, the inflammation in my feet is mostly gone, and I can literally go without eating for hours now. And these are common keto results... the science shows us that the brain runs better on fat than carbs, and that grains (even whole grains) have minimal nutrition, and turn into glucose (sugar) in your body. So if you want to age fast... eat grains. If you want to reach a new level of health...eat fat. If you're still not convinced, see the movie Fat Fiction, then give it a go for 30 days.

My two-pennorth is that I experimented with my diet to see if I could find out what was causing my horrendous life-long migraines. I think it took me so long to realise that it was grains and sugar because I was an addict. I started eating differently and had no idea that it was a thing till a friend said I was doing keto. I'm a vegetarian (including eggs and cheese, but not milk because of lactose) and eat lots of fibre so it can be done, and I avoid processed food as much as possible. I've never felt so healthy and if I check my blood glucose it's always below 4 mmol/L. I understand the level for ketone production is 4.4 so I presume I'm in ketosis though I've never bothered with a ketone meter beause all I care about is whether I'm fit, healthy and have plenty of energy. Having an eating window of 8 hours or less also makes me feel healthier. If I do eat refined carbs (like birthday cake or a mince pie) all my aches and pains come back, and if I overdo it and have seconds it's a 3 day migraine. It's easy to stick to when I remember that.

Gallbladder is out now. I find a CGM fills a similar role for helping eat low carb. I wish they were over-the-counter here in the US like in Canada.

*Meanwhite Hyperketo: LOL*

Keto cured my inflammation, I’m not overweight, never been fat, but I did have inflammation, now I’m more flexible and have very little pain.

I ate keto for three years and felt great. I've added back some of the lower carb pulses: whole lentils rather than big fat beans. I also eat seeds regularly plus some root veg & fruit. I do eat whole wheat berries sometimes. Eating keto taught me a lot about how I deal with refined carbs (badly) and it helped me lose my sweet tooth. So I eat higher carbs than I did on keto but still pretty low carb because no sugar, no flour of any kind, no rice. A point I would like to make is that you didn't get further around the Med than Turkey. Why is that? The whole of north Africa and the eastern end of the Med were not mentioned at all yet they have great healthy food.

Keto advocates for keeping low in the blood hormone insulin that is released from the pancreas everytime there is sugar / carb to metabolise. Due to our constant eating, food and snacks high in carbs, insulin levels are constantly elevated - hyperinsulinaemia. The cells develop insulin resistence. Insulin being high constantly is one of the elephants in the room....a leading cause for T2DM and obesity and chronic diseases.

I’m epileptic and I agree that following a strict keto diet can be hard, but it has changed my life very much for the better. I have less digestive problems, skin issues, and am overall healthier. It also reduces the number of seizures I have. Honestly I prefer plant foods to meat, but I enjoy clean keto. It’s much like the Mediterranean diet.

I eat low carb and keto but still get 25g of fibre a day ( female) it’s not hard at all. It’s not meant for most people, but it’s stopped me being diabetic. Low carbs doesn’t mean no carbs. Keto is still around 50g carb a day. You can still eat bread. One slice of average wholemeal bread is 14-18g carb a slice.

Lots of my clients have done really well on keto and have had no problem maintaining or continuing the diet. In fact, they seem to quite enjoy it.

3 months on Keto and I will never look back.

I am on keto and have so many issues with this, but here are some thoughts. I would suggest this trial was way to restrictive and didn't provide the wiggle room allowed. It is one of the most researched ways of eating of all variations. Generally those that start have done their research. You only need 25 - 30g of fibre a day. I get that by eating a lot of veg and adding a few grains. You can stay in ketosis above 20g. If you do keto you would test your ketones occasionally and test your limits of carb intake. I can be in ketosis up to 50g of carbs. There are two types of LDL, those on keto generally have the fluffy LDL, the good LDL. Many people on keto also fast, which produce even more benefits. Mediterranean cultures fast during the year. The other benefits haven't been mentioned include better sleep, even energy throughout the day, reduced inflammation, normalised blood pressure and I can go on, of which we have been told numerous times to get those under control. Yes, adherence is the comment always made. However it generally comes from people who haven't actually tried it. It is a lifestyle, not a diet.

I'm on lchf for 8.5 y. I eat c50g carbs per day. 80g on very active day. I cycle lots. Eat loads of veg and some legumes. Eat berries. Christopher should talk about stuff he knows about. Humans didn't eat grains a few thousand years ago but ate intestinal contents.

My health has improved since I started Keto. My blood glucose has gone way down, and my A1C is now normal. And for the first time in my life I've lost weight. It's also not a restrictive diet, and grains are not healthy, I eat fruits and I'm satisfied with what I get to eat.

Everyone has cancer. There are other factors of much more significance than nutrition in play, when it comes whether they turn malignant. if you compare age brackets causes of death of a (western) european country (like my country switzerland) to the US one thing is immediately obvious: reasonable diet shifts cardiovascular disease in the above 85 bracket, while in the US it takes over in the above 65 bracket. it should also be taken into account, that life expectancy is 84 in switzerland (80 in US) (some variation depending on source). if you have a reasonable diet like in western europe, it won't matter to much. by the time cardiovascular disease gets you, you likely are suffering from cancer, dementia and a lot of other things. (remark: swiss average diet is not quite mediterranean, but somewhere between germany, france and mediterranean, 2nd remark: for the above 85 bracket, other reasons than nutrition may be of more importance, when it comes to cardiovascular disease.)

There's a lot of research now on the role of oxidative stress perpetuating insulin resistance. The high fat approach, where you are using fatty acids for energy generates a high volume of electrons during betaoxidation, which also have to be fed into the electron transport chain. The voltage gradient that this generates in the intermembrane space actually stops the oxidative cycle and free electrons then form superoxide anions with oxygen. This is a key metabolic problem and feedback directly causes or perpetuates insulin resistance. Many people feel that they improve their insulin resistance on keto diets - but lowering blood sugar levels through reducing dietary sugar intake is not the same as lowering them as a consequence of the cells taking up the sugar. To genuinely improve insulin resistance one would have to experience lower sugar levels even when eating carbs.

@@Kathryn-Alexander Thank you for your response. I would appreciate references to this suggested effect especially if there is no excess calorie intake. Also glucose is not an essential nutrient for humans, I believe the body is intelligent enough to manage excess electrons if there is no excess calorie and if protein and fat are consumed in adequate amounts to maintain calorie requirement. Not forgetting that whether glucose is consumed or not the liver and kidneys will produce enough glucose specifically for the brain, red cells and the kidneys. Even with low/no carb insulin still directs the glucose produced by the body. Also nutritional ketogenesis occurs during fasting. I believe the body uses the required ketone bodies for energy and wastes the rest in urine, breathing and sweats. Insulin resistance associated with low carb diets is reversible within a short time if and when carb is reintroduced.

"clean keto" is the way to go, all your carbs from veggies. macadamia nuts, pecans, nutritional yeast, poppy seeds, chia seeds have amazing nutrients as well, I pretty much eat a head of something dark dark green every day. My husband does this too and we have since moved on to organic veggies, and buggeted out some other things we really didnt need. Weve been together 30 years and want 30 more. Ive never felt better in my life.

The major reason people use a Ketogenic diet is for obesity and Diabetes. I tried all kinds of diets and could never mantain them and always gained the weight back. I started Keto 6 years ago and lost 70 pounds and have maintained that loss for 6 years. The longest time that I have been slim. Many issues I had in my health are gone. And my triglycerides dropped to 37. My LDL rose about 20. Never felt so energetic or well in my life. My pre-diabetes is gone. My HbA1c is now 5.2 for the last 4 years. My CRP went from 55 to 7. My joints no longer swell or have pain. I had a low level of depression but that is gone and my emotions are very stable. I have zero vitamin deficiency. I did try increasing carbs that are healthy but started to gain weight and my blood sugar started to rise. So no, sorry, not going back to beans (gas) and grain, which caused a huge weight gain. I don’t limit my vegetables and do have some below ground vegetables. I have seen these studies before and Keto takes the hunger away and more carbs increases hunger. Hunger is significant and I cannot do a diet that keeps me hungry. You do you and I’ll do me.

Arguments against 1) hard to stick to - where’s the evidence? 2) long term nutritional deficiency - this is speculation rather than an argument - again no evidence as yet although I appreciate that some analysis is planned 3) it goes against WHO nutritional guidelines - I’ve come across so much data that suggests the guidelines are not evidence-based or based on flawed or disproven studies and are very out of date. They are still banging on about keeping fat intake low especially saturated fat when it is widely being accepted that saturated fat is not related to heart health as was once thought (and perhaps high cholesterol isn’t either). I’ve been low carb (not pure keto) for several years and have got rid of cravings, several kg of surplus waist line, night sweats and energy slumps in the afternoon. Every time the carbs creep up so do these. Am I nutritionally deficient? Don’t think so, but happy to be tested. Do I find it hard to stick to? Sometimes especially living with small children who are definitely not low carb but the positives very much outweigh any struggle Has it improved the quality of my life? Very much so.

Guidelines are not written for the health of the public but for the profits of the food and pharmaceutical industries.

I had liver issues/fatty liver for over a decade (caused by being overdosed on Ibuprofen by the NHS for ~9 months following Encephalitis which led to morphological changes of my liver). I worked with doctors for a decade to try to fix my liver and the results only steadily got worse until they started talking about me needing a liver transplant one day. At this point I did my own research and ended up deciding to do Keto/IF to give my liver a rest from carbs (mostly fructose) and to see if it would heal. After 3 months my results were massively improved already. Crazy thing was the doctors asked what I was doing - I said Keto/IF and they told me to stop as they didn't think it sounded healthy. They gave me no other advise though. I saw an actual liver specialist and she didn't even know fructose is only metabolized by the liver! I honestly lost all faith in doctors after this. I will agree with this speaker though that keto is hard to stick to as a life-style long term, but as with most things it's about finding a way to make it work. For me currently that's doing keto for 2-4 weeks and then coming off for a weekend. It's 100% easier not doing keto but in my case that's because when not on keto I wasn't eating that healthy anyway and it's always easier to eat convenient food than healthy food no matter the diet. I also do agree Keto isn't great for fibre but again you can make that work by having things like chia seeds or treating yourself to keto bars which actually inadvertently often have a lot of inulin and other fibre's that are very beneficial to the microbiome. Personally I'd sum it up this way - if you're already in good health and are a good weight then Keto probably isn't a healthy diet and I wouldn't recommend it. However, if you're pre-diabetic, overweight and/or have liver issues and are therefore already in poor health I'm certain keto will give you improvements over your current lifestyle (especially if, like me, you tried Mediterranean and other diets and saw no improvements).

Adherence is a funny one The fact that people find it very difficult to follow a healthy diet doesn't mean that people shouldn't try to follow it as much as possible. I've been eating high-fat low carb for a while now having done a lot of reading about it and it has sorted the middle aged spread and some digestive issues that I have experienced. I'm thinner, fitter and healthier than I have ever been. Do I occasionally eat some chips or a bit of cake? Absolutely. That doesn't mean I should abandon the whole thing.

Whether a keto diet is sustainable or not does not affect the science and benefits of it. I've been on it for 6months and goign strong. The benefits are so obvious that it's ongoing motivation.

I'm 71 and have been on a Keto diet for 4 years and have gotten substantial improvements in blood panel results across the board: HbA1c, trig, LDL, HDL, liver, and kidney function. I really like the well-defined diet experiments that professor Gardner is conducting. However, here are a few points to correct some misconceptions and biases presented by Jonathan and to some extent Professor Gardner. 1) There are plenty of sources of fiber on ketogenic diets including nuts, seeds, leafy vegetables, some berries, and many Keto breads and cereals. There seems to be some thought that Keto people are only drinking oil all day. In Keto, fiber is not counted as part of one's total daily carbs, because in fact fiber is not carbs. 2) There is nothing in the Keto diet that says you can't go to a birthday party and have some cake, or for any other reason having a day or two off. 3) An important difference on Keto is that with the focus on fats there is focus on not just any fats, but high-quality fats. This results in an intentional increase in olive oil, avocado oil, coconut oil (maybe all organic) and a concomitant decrease in commercially processed seed oils and the processed foods resulting from that. 4) Possibly, most importantly, it really isn't that difficult to develop and maintain a ketogenic diet that fits one's lifestyle.

I started 90 days ago on carnivore (no carbs) and I feel better at 50 than I did at 40 and 26lb's lighter. All aches and pains are gone bags more energy which is constant., It's amazing to see how quickly you realise the difference between hunger and craving. Carbs for me are a thing of the past.

Regarding the sustainability of a keto diet, is it not true, that once you have got into ketosis, and have learned to maintain low carb (several weeks/ a month in), occasional carb cycling or the odd "treat" such as a birthday cake, can be enjoyed? I have been following keto for 3 years. I was extremely strict for the first year and. half, them began to allow myself odd treats. If it were a celebration, or something I could plan for I would take that into account. After consuming carbs I know Im out of ketosis, so to get back to fat burning state, I just extend my fast a little longer, reduce carb intake a little further and within 2 or 3 days im back in ketosis. I personally have found this way of eating the most sustainable.

Very little struggle here and I have Parkinson's which produces strong cravings...keto keto keto!

The question to have asked is that there are numerous studies that show the inflammation markers go down on Keto. Also unclear why starches such as potato are important to gut microbiome. LDL issue is a red herring. Nutrient is a possible factor...but I am worried about biased folks....Sustainability cannot be measured in 12 weeks...there are many people on Keto diet.

I went keto for 3 months, then low carb for the past 2 years. I eat 2 big meals per day. Never hungry. 60 years old and fitter than I was at 35. The easiest thing I've ever done

I would only take issue with the statement that of the participants, 12 weeks after the study ended, non were able to continue with the Keto diet; this was a study, the study ended, there was no obligation or understanding that any participant would be expected to adopt a keto diet after the study ended. So i don't feel its fair to assert that this proves that the Keto diet was unsustainable. People are free to eat how they wish. Keto is more of an actual diet than Mediterranean, which is broadly just healthy eating without junk food.

Keto has stopped my prediabetes, it's helped my mood . I can't fault it. To many carbs make me sluggish and tired . I also get IBS if I eat carbs .

I discovered after years of misery that it was fruit triggering my IBS. Keto was a natural progression after that!

That's what Gardner said at the beginning: keto has been known for decades to be a good protocol for blood sugar control problems.

You know, I found that, it's a real mood stabilizer. I've been basically keto for near on twenty years and it's tends to keep me calm, I found from the start.

Very strange interview, admitted that both diets worked well - but showed his biases against Keto. I'm more low carb than Pure keto but didn't find it restrictive, in fact I think I eat more veg than before, just not starches

Yes same as me. I always asked those who claimed to manage to put their diabetes into remission by following Med diet, but when I asked them how do they handle the blood glucose spike on whole grains and fruits... I always got no answer !

@@zhuhaibaker7816 look at the results of cordioprev study where they say keto and med had the same result in lowering sugar but they actually removed all diabetes medications on the keto diet and kept half on the Mediterranean. And that is not how they report the study though.

Exactly - cutting out the obligatory starch accompaniment means I cook far more and more varied vegetables.

The most interesting, honest video I think I've ever watched, comparing Keto and Mediteranean diets or indeed any studies on diets and nutrition. Absolutely NO bias shown by Professor Christopher Gardner, simply wonderful. Thank you.

Yes to Dr Ken Berry. Yes to Amy Berger. ("Keto without the crazy"). Yes to Dr Paul Mason. Yes to Amber-O'Hearn (@ketocarnivore). Keto for MANY years. Yes to the many others who have living "keto" for years with great success. Yes to ME! ("Keto" "Near-Carnivore" for 3 and a half years).

2 and a half yrs on keto, lost 15kg, feel great, do not miss carbs do have the odd cheat day, have no food cravings, include 18/6 intermittent fasting. Skin has improved. I use electrolytes every day. I mostly eat meat a few home grown veges and herbs. I don't eat extra fat I just eat the best fat, grass fed butter, a bit of dairy, avocado,. I don't find it restrictive. Skin tags fell of, and eyesight improved, the list goes on,also ancestral eating is also the best. Grains sugars, and fruits are out I don't miss them, they raise blood sugars. Cholesterol isn't that relevant these days because we need it for cell rebuilding for our brains and tissues. So if someone says you have elevated cholesterol I would say thanks I have the building blocks to regenerate and rebuild my body.

My keto version diet includes lots of fermented food, mushrooms and various nut + plus veg..don't thing that deprives the micro biome..does it?
