    Last week and this week's lessons are right where I am. I have had a CGM for just the past week. I was disappointed how high my glucose is most of the time. I've lost 55 pounds and I'm now under 200lbs. I'm currently following an alternate day fasting (36hrs). This is encouraging me to extend my fasts and add more physical activity.

    If someone does end up with diabetes, by the time they do, insulin resistance has been working in the background often 10-15 years. Why do we think it would go away so quickly? I mean, yes, type 2 can be reversed relatively quickly, even in those with it for decades, but insulin resistance took time to build up, while glucose is relatively easy to lower consistently.

    Dr. Boz, you noted that your glucose rises during sleep and fluctuates throughout the day, even without eating. Cortisol is a factor; it naturally rises in the morning as part of the circadian rhythm, peaking between 6-8 am. This cortisol fluctuation can impact glucose and ketosis throughout the day.

    I've been low/no carb since the beginning of Sept. My fasting blood glucose numbers have gone down from the low 200's to this morning despite no carbs I was 115. By 18-20 hours without eating I can get to high 90's. My energy has increased and I've only lost 25 lbs. But I'm diabetic, CHF, reduced kidney function, asthma etc. I'm sure I'm insulin resistant but I'm seeing little shifts. Sleeping better, energy up enough to work each body part at least once a week and walk everyday. My Endo says it will take 6-9 months or longer to reverse years of abuse. So here's to trying. Most days are either beef, salmon, sardines or mackeral. A 1/2 cup of kimchi or sauerkraut and lots of water and coffee.

    That is the best answer here, belive me! Most doctors are not educated enough to lead you to right way. So, there are many ways to reverse insulin resistance, but i will mention some proven ways (I helped many many people to reverse diabetes in last 15 years): 1. Daily Fasting (e.g 18:6) 2. One or two meals per day (no more than 2 insuline spikes per 24h). 10min walk after each meal. 3. Low carb, mid protein (high fat) diet. Non neccessery to be in ketosis all the time. It is important foods to be with low insuline index (or glycemic index). 4. Resistance exersices. Also HIIT is very effective if you do running/swimming - short 15-20 sec bursts with 1-2 min. rest between. Fatty liver and fatty pancreas are the main reasons for most metabolic issues.

    I stopped doing keto this year, it was too restrictive. I am on my 48 hour fast, about 36 hours in, feeling great. I did my first 36 hour fast a week ago (with some chicken broth and avocado.. ) It was really difficult for me to get into fasting, and I was really afraid of the feeling of hunger. I kept trying for over a year, and I think I finally reached the stage where I look forward to the fasted state of high energy and brain clarity. Now I am inspired to do fasting regularly.

    How I got metabolically ill was that I was ignorant of the effects of what I was eating. I always thought that my body was a filter and what I put in it, my body would take what it needed and excrete the rest. Once I started to get educated and realized that there was a biochemical / hormonal repercussion from what I was eating. the good changes began. Post 60 years of the standard American diet, I now pay attention to how my body feels and know very well that the ills I have experienced was from what I consumed. The process that you elaborate in your video is always in my mind and I am now more cognizant of what is going on. In the past, ignorance was not bliss, but the pathway for destruction.

I was still doing low-carb however, and eating only twice a day. But my activity level had changed due to arthritis. I truly get what Dr. Boz said about how a changing schedule can throw you off. But I started a light resistance and isometric program a week ago, and got back to keto. It's gentle but it still wore me out. Today not so bad. Definitely a sign that my mitochondria are in bad shape, but now I have a sense of where this new exercise program will take me.

    I began my journey almost a year ago thinking it would be easy to fix my impaired metabolism with just diet. I was so wrong. I went from carnivore to intermittent fasting, to now just meat, legumes, and veggies. Even though my job is physically demanding and I walk my dogs daily, totally about 15000 steps a day, it hasn’t been enough; so I just started weight training. I’ll get a cgm again soon and see if there’s any difference. Doing 3 or 4 day fasts does help as well, it’s just mentally hard. I also finally found a brand of sardines that I can eat by itself. King Oscar skinless is really good, excellent quick protein source.

    What would you suggest? Veggie carbs are great. Any other kind of processed, or starchy, carb makes my blood sugar spike. I’m just trying to get my blood sugar into a normal range…..that’s the main goal. The 12-24hr fasting glucose is always around 120, so it just goes up from there if I eat. At a 36hr fast, it finally goes down to 88 and stays there. Sardines are just a quick and easy way to get 21 grams of protein as well as some awesome vitamins and not spike blood sugar. I just put in the CGM and still the same issue after a year of a low carb diet. It’s so frustrating. I’m going to start fasting again. It’s the only thing, so far, that has had any kind of results.

I guess that is not unusual. Being frustrated I gained back a lot, not all, of the weight I lost (lost about 50 lbs) That has been over about 12 years. I have recently been looking for info on insulin resistance and this video was helpful. I am stable at my current weight and healthy and active relative to others my age.

    This is the info I’ve been needing. I’ve been using a CGM intermittently, and haven’t understood some of the readings that would show up. Also was able to look back on my ketone/BG readings from when I started Keto in 2017., progressing to OMAD and fasting the first year. Low BG and much higher ketones. Your explanation on one of the question cleared that up for me. I stayed clean Keto the whole time , but I tended to overindulge. Hence I’ve been switched to Carnivore now for 5 months but I’m stalled as to weight. I’ll use this info to tweak my metabolism using fasting again. Still I’m feeling great, good energy, a 67 yo grandma doing 45 hours a week of infant care + all yard maintenance. (I could definitely have a cortisol rise in there somewhere as well).

    This presentation has been great for me. You hit so many of my "why's", you have made my day. Been carnivore for 1.9 years. Lost 130 lbs in 1 year and have been stuck there for a long time. I am not too worried about wt. as my health has gotten better rapidly. Still need to lose 100 lbs more, so I do want that to happen and am wondering what to do next. So often in these various Dr. videos, they talk about "most people" and since carnivore, I do not fit any "most people" category related to BS and ketones. During my first year, my ketones were regularly 4-5. Didn't start measuring BS until about 1 year into it. When I did start measuring, my BS was right about 100 +/- 5 all day, every day. Eating, not eating, didn't matter. I was so confused, I bought a different brand of glucometer. Same result. Thanks, Dr. Boz, for my CGM! Guess what? Same result. BS almost always constantly 100. It took 2 days of fasting before my BS went below 90, then bottomed out about 78 into about 3-4 days of fasting. Finally Dr Eckberg explained it, stating "some people on very low carb diet" do what my numbers do for BS. Finally, some normalcy for "my category". Dr Boz, your blood BS is always so low on the show, it was nice to see, it is not always that low from your CGM results. In fact, it generally holds above 90 from what I could see. You reaffirmed my BS in this video, so thank you. Now... Ketones... I was in high ketosis for that first year. Now, like you, I generally hold ketones at about 0.5. I cannot get them to go higher while eating OMAD. I do eat clean 29 of 30 days per month. I don't understand why I cannot get ketones up and wt to start back down. Is starving and exercise the only want to make the needle move again? Rhetoric question. But what can I do? Been doing hot and cold showers. I have had months of regular exercise where wt. did not change. I know, redistribution of wt.? Not according to my watch or biometric scale. Stomach not shrinking any more either.

Before jumping completely off the LION diet, start adding 'other' Carnivore friendly foods back into your diet one at a time. Pay attention to what your body tells you about that food for a week.

    Hi-- quick question, you mentioned you are "starving". How many calories in a day are you getting, how many grams of protein and do you track your daily fat/protein ratios? I am also carnivore. What do you do weekly for exercise? The reason I ask is because if you are starving yourself of calories, not getting enough protein and exercising too much/often you can actually mess up your metabolism. Your body will think it is in starvation mode and lower your resting metabolic rate. If working out, you need at least one gram of protein per pound of lean body mass (your desired / optimal weight goal.) Also, I do NOT advise fasting more than overnight -- 6pm to 11am or noon tops. Again because you can raise cortisol too much as the stressor and keep BG high and lower metabolism again because body thinks it is starving. Better to eat well and nourish to HEAL body. Then do some weights 2x week to build muscle. Overtraining like distance running and constant cardio actually can be bad for cortisol levels. Short duration like weights and sprinting (even on a treadmill for 10-20 second bursts, then walk) a couple times a week for muscle building. Check out Dr Sean O'mara about it. If you can't sprint safely, try an exercise bike in short "sprints". No need to overdo it. 😁👍🏻

    @@catcan221 I did not say I am starving. I eat roughly 2600 calories per day. Fat/protein approx 50/50 by grams. Most of what you said is the same advice I would give to others. I do not exercise enough, but I lost my first 130 lbs with almost no exercise because it was too painful. I actually like to exercise. When exercising I do mostly strength training. I think it is something in my food. Originally I consumed mostly quality hb patties for beef. Somewhere I switched to ground beef. I am at this moment wondering if there is something in the gb giving me a hystimine response where the hb patties did not.

    @@Gorman-84 Sorry, I misread that part about starving-- you stated that as a rhetorical question. Strength training is good. I am surprised by 50:50 ratio of fat grams to protein grams. Most of the docs and nutritionists (like Judy) in carnivore space say to aim for 70%fat and 30% protein regardless of fat burning goals because we need to maintain our hormones. Just a thought. I had issues with extended fasting lowering my metabolism, so I will not do that again. I am planning to follow more of a lion diet to remove dairy and its possible hormonal interference, as well as work my way up to doing "my level" of sprinting in between walking. The cardio zone 2 is not really doing anything to move the scale and when I have watched Dr. O'mara, it makes sense that we are built for quick bursts (hunting or being hunted). They say there are specific hormones that sprinting triggers that tell your body to burn fat stores. He has plenty of patients to prove it works. So I am going to track my progress and see if it works.

    Yes, I am still insulin resistant after 1 year on keto/carnivore Based on my recent 3hr Oral Glucose Tolerance Test with corresponding insulin surveys (Kraft Glucose/Insulin test) And my CGM readings (which I have to thank Dr Boz for the prescription!) It has been an eye opener and amazing tool to really hone in on what causes glucose spikes and reducing my average glucose #’s! Also continued ketone tracking is a part of this answer Thank you Dr Boz!!!!!!!!! I would not be where I am today without you and your team making this education and CGM prescription available!!!!!

    Oral Glucose Tolerance without carb loading 3 day before test, is very bad indicator for IR. Dr. Ben Bikman has clarified this , if you are on SAD diet, your pancreas stores some amount of insulin to react quickly to big carbs intakes. If you are on keto, pancreas is effective and know there is no need to store insulin and make it as needed. This is possible because you consume very little amount of carbs. In the moment you do OGTT, your pancreas has not enough stored insulin to deal with it and you will fail. But if you eat more carbs 3 days before OGTT your pancreas will store insulin again and you past the test. You can find Ben Bikmans videos or hundreds videos from people that have tested this.

    One thing as an herbalist is that the reason people are still insulin resistant is because the pancreas is burned out because it has stayed high out put too long. If you start out your day with sugar and insulin raising foods and then you go all day with the pancrease having to put out more insulin it gives out and you need to change your diet and stop eating these big insulin foods constantly. And your body will heal

    I've found that distributing exercise throughout the day helps keep it consistent. A short walk after each meal nets 9 to 30 minutes a day while lowering mental stress instead of adding worry about getting a longer gym workout in. I also keep a basketball and a kettlebell or club bell in my vehicle. On my way home from work I bring the bells to hiking trails, local beaches, rivers, etc. I'm just looking for 15 minutes of play, which again is not mentally stressful in terms of fitting it in. At a wrestling tournament I bet the athletes and coaches would give you a lot of encouragement if you brought along an 8kg bell and did 15 minutes of work in a suitable spot. They'd understand and respect you for it!

    Looking at these replies. If you have lost weight, exercisee, followed keto/period / intermittent fasting then I would think you really are doing. I would guess you have a phenotype that is preferential towards fat storage to protect you in times of famine. I would think that regardless of insulin resistance - if you are keeping your BSl's well controlled great! If you need a medication to help keep them in range - it is ok for modern science to take some of the burden also. Maybe you have juvenile type adult onset diabetes in its earliest phase - and there is a limit to what you can do for yourself. Just my thoughts as an OB/GYN.

    Insulin resistance can be exacerbated by a lack of calcium, magnesium or inositol. Inositol should normally be produced by the kidneys, but some people have poor production due to previous kidney disease; some minor inflammation suffered years ago may be enough. These are just the deficiencies that I have read about, there may be others that also aggravate insulin resistance. And years of low-carb dieting will not correct these deficiencies, and may even make them worse, because foods rich in protein and fat usually contain few minerals. But people do not pay enough attention to minerals. If in the context of the keto diet sodium, potassium and magnesium are often mentioned, then about calcium every self-respecting keto guru considers it necessary to make a video about how harmful supplements with it are. Calcium supplements had the best effect on my well-being, obviously I was deficient in this mineral. I felt satiety after eating for the first time after many years, the feeling of a black hole in my stomach that could not be satisfied suddenly disappeared. Two years of low carb dieting couldn't do what calcium could do.

I eat no prepared foods and add no sugar or carbs to what I cook. It's simply easier for me to measure high-sensitivity CRP, TRIG/HDL, fasting insulin, and waist circumference yearly than sweat the details on a day to day basis. Dave Feldman will tell me whether I am at risk for a shorter life, but if I feel well, sleep well(due to desmopressin) and have decent energy for an old codger, then I'll just keep doing what seems to work.

    It took me two months of water fasting before all of slightest signs of the faints went away. But it has not come back even I (obviously) don't do it no more. Since the end of the water fast I have been on strict keto. It was at the beginning of the second month when the change really started to kick in. This probably means that people are very different and for some it is extremely hard to get fully fat adapted. For example Sten Ekberg shared his pace to keto and it was really fast and strong(4-7mmol/L just in couple of days) compared to my measured numbers(always staying max at 4.5).

    I have an anecdotal street guideline to share if you are still insulin resistant. Simple anecdotal answer, insulin resisters can't get their blood sugar levels below 120 mg/dL without having severe side affects. I can easily get my glucose numbers in the 80's, 70's, and 60's while fasting without the side affects of light headedness or low energy. However, I have numerous type II's that can't get below 120 mg/dL without feeling so bad they have to stop fasting. I would send them screenshots of my numbers, and they stopped believing my test numbers until I used their devices and test strips. I would always tell them that they had 2 problems: type II diabetes, and a fatty liver. Excluding a few hormones & things like stress, our pancreas controls blood sugar while eating, and the liver controls blood sugar while not eating. Once you get your fatty liver under control, you can switch between glucose burning and fat burning like a marathon runner. Marathon runners hit the wall at about the 20 mile mark. They run out of glucose, and their body starts to burn fat for the last 6 miles, seamlessly. Insulin resistant individuals, can't switch between glucose, and fat because of issues they have with their livers.

    Fasting is especially hard for people with extremely low blood sugar…my body doesn’t go into the stage of ketones ( at all )… like I feel unable to function…my muscles scream and I can’t talk or walk..so I believe insulin instability isn’t too much about how to prevent the high it is more of how to tolerate the low which I didn’t see anyone talking about

    I have been in a great DR Boz ratio average for several weeks, around 20 to 30 on average. I have lost nearly 50 pounds in the past 8 months. I’m strict in following the guidelines of the keto continuum. But! I can not eat more than 5 or so carbs daily, if I eat more then 10 carbs, my glucose levels shoot up over 100, then my morning glucose is around a 100, normally without going over 5 carbs, I am in the 47 to 76 range . What does this mean? Am I insulin resistant, or carb sensitive? What’s going on? I want to start a maintenance rather than weight loss, but It seems like I can’t relax from the strict regimen . Any suggestions?

  • @hugoapresname

    Oh this video is wonderful. This slides are fantastic! The blood glucose spikes at the airport would maybe come from inflammatory foods like omega-6 fats in ultra processed foods. Basically what I want to say, is when you consume food not in its natural state like meat, plant leaves, seeds, whole and uncooked (if reasonable and preferable) then our digestion and metabolism *will not be able* to handle the food well. Why? Because we are Biologic Organisms ourselves, and we are designed and used to natural food. And we are one of the most versatile species that can live from different food sources. But to understand where we come from is very helpful. From water? Where we ingest minerals and algae plants with every “breath”? From Algae or Spirulina one-cell bacteria (like mitochorndria) which live from light? So we live in water (or water now inside us) and our ultimate food source is light? To conclude: how do we feed *light* to our mitochondria through the medium which is our body? Sauna feeds infrared light directly. The warm feeling on the skin from the sun feeds light to the mitochondria directly (works anti-oxidant). Spirulina one-cell, Chlorella multi-cell, Plant leaves cellulose, plant seeds with komplex amino acids would be (Leaves and seeds also recommended in the bible) our primary food sources. Sorry for so much text 😅, to sum it up. Mitochondria are the sisters of chlorophyll in plants and they want to meet each other inside us and make parties (and “un-couple” each other at those parties!). If you want to know more, I recommend Dr. Steven Gundry: Energy Paradox and all his other books. His newest “Gut Check” comes out January 2024. ❤

    So good Doctor and easy to understand however I did put into the save so I can watch it again a time or two. I have been carnivore for 11 months and did it for Crohn's disease. I'm male 64 now and 190 lb. I want to get down to175 but have been at this dang 190 for like 6 months. I do work out with weights but not crazy heavy and walk goal 7 days a week but really more like 4. LOL I went to OMAD and am going to in a few weeks go to fasting 36 then to 48 then to 72 hours but work up to it. I do feel better because I know it takes time and my gut is the place it's needs to go. Crohn's is better but a slow go wit it. I've never been into full remission and I do Remicade every 6 weeks now at about the max dose. I had given up but now with carnivore helping I have hope again. God bless you for helping people like me out. Your reward will be great.

Any carbs I eat since about May 10, 2023 are fully processed (healthy and functional liver and pancreas) and removed from the blood stream within 6 hours of eating them. I have since learned that most of the info on a full blood panel is NOT appropriate for measuring TRUE metabolic health. One of the simplest measures is to divide your waist by height. Mine in inches now is 35/68 = 0.5147058 and that number should be exactly 0.5. The further from 0.5 the worse your metabolic health. For comparison my waist was 42 which gives 0.617647, so anything above 0.6 is not good.

    Yes Dr Boz, you're right on the edge of that green zone but that chart is very misleading. There are many people that could be your same height and weigh much less than you and that would but them more in the green. However, those same people could have a much higher fat percentage and that would make them MORE UNHEALTHY. I do agree with you that you could use more muscle and cary less fat but that equation is extremely hard to change later in life. Gaining muscle is not necessarily killing yourself in the gym three days a week. Yes you must be consistent, but lifting heavy things is much better than aerobic exhaustion. Keep up the good work and enjoy your good health.

When older it is simply more of a chore as your muscles get weaker NO MATTER WHAT. I just woke up asking my wife when I was supposed to go to work. She had to remind me I had been retired for 30 years. Take a morning nap and nothing has changed and your brain goes into work mode. I doubt I would be much good at work now really.
