The Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program is Australia's first evidence-based, doctor-led program that can help put pre-diabetes and type 2 diabetes into remission.
Created by Dr Peter Brukner OAM with a team of doctors and dietitians (including Chief Medical Officer Dr Paul Mason and Defeat Diabetes dietitian Nicole Moore), the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program can help you manage your blood glucose levels, lose weight and achieve remission.
BIG NEWS! We’re stoked to announce a new partnership with Diabetes Australia to offer hope to people living with or at risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Together, we aim to reach the 1.3 million Australians diagnosed with type 2 diabetes with a message of hope for remission through our proven low carb program.

Amen Gary. Thanks for your insight.
Thanks for watching!
Grain and produce farming, farming equipment, chemicals used in farming, organizations, etc. don’t want to go out of business let alone change their focus to healthy foods which are good for the climate, environment, and humans.
I understand that Allulose naturally stimulates the Glp1. Is this true?
Great interview! I loved Nina’s interview with Judy(?) but this one is even better and you took her from the beginning much better so now I understand as a beginner (3 months in) her background and what her book is about. Thank you for doing this video!!!
Great broadcast with some good sense recommendations, especially the one about slowly lowering your carb intake which I did at first and it worked fine. My A1C dropped from 9.0 to 5.9 (American units). Then I fell off the wagon. 😮 Tired of feeling like crap and wanting to keep all ten of my toes I had to change. My A1C was 11. 🤯 I decided to bring my carbs down as close to zero as possible. Well, now I know what Keto flu is. 😁 I stuck it out and it took 2 weeks to get my energy back and get rid of the brain fog, but I'm on the other side. A1C is 6.2 now down from 11. Just have to keep on keepin on. Hopefully everyone else does to. Don't beat yourself up when you screw up. 👍
Amazing work, well done! We love reading success stories and your advice is spot on. Lots of people fall off the wagon initially, but we have an article to help with that --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/low-carb/faq-ive-fallen-off-the-low-carb-wagon-what-can-i-do/
I'm a recovering type II diabetic. I don't eat bread at all because it has sugar in it. I was surprised at that until I realized why they add it...because if they didn't it would taste like cardboard. Ditto with "healthy" cereal. What?! Special K and Total have sugar in it?! Yep, it does. 😢 I can eat Avocados everyday as I live in Texas so the cost is fairly low since we get them from Mexico and California.
Well done to you on adopting low carb (and also we're a little bit jealous of your access to cheap avocados!). If you want some recommendations on other low carb swaps you can make, check out this article --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/baby-steps-to-low-carb-your-simple-guide-to-getting-started/
went carnivore and gave up seed oils and food with ingredients, still very inflamed. pain in back, been sick many times, poor mental state, high ferritin, high h-crp, total cholesterol, LDL, elevated triglycerides, lower HDL.. so all the posts and videos saying how great low carb/carnivore/no seed oil is.. great, but it doesn't seem to hold true for me. it's frustrating.
We're so sorry to hear this - are you already consulting with a dietitian to see if they can help manage the inflammation? If you're based in Australia we have a directory of low carb health professionals who may be able to help --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/expert/find-a-local-low-carb-health-professional/
High fat plus high carbs, now that's a problem
We agree! Ditch the carbs and enjoy plenty of protein and healthy fats like butter, olive oil, coconut oil and ghee. You can learn more about why fats don't make us fat here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/diabetes-plan/does-eating-fat-make-you-fat/
Are you saying eating an avocado won't make me an avocado?
HA! Avo-solutely not 😉🥑😋
Fantastic info ! Thank you !!! Must listen & take notes more than once to absorb all the info. 🥰🥰🥰
Glad it was helpful! You can enjoy more evidence-based dietary advice at Defeat Diabetes. Hop over here if you're curious about why fat doesn't make us fat and why, contrary to the nutritional guidelines, we need to limit our carb intake --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/
This works! I am shocked that this is not being blasted over every media source. This treatment appears to be hidden from the average man-that must be why the diabetic patient that found the remission was so angry. Get sick, go blind, have legs and toes removed when diet cures. Husband went from 14 units of insulin per meal to none (provided he remains under 30 carbs per day). A1c is now 5.5 ( nondiabetic/normal). Still takes metformin and night insulin (dose cut in half). Unbelievable after being on insulin for 30+ years
Amazing! We love hearing success stories from people who have been able to achieve remission simply by limiting the carb intake. You can find more inspiring stories from people who have been able to do exactly what your husband has achieved following the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
Thanks to both Peter and Gary for making this vital information that is adding to our knowledge base
We're so glad you enjoyed the session.
Thanks for posting this excellent video. Dr David Unwin is a rockstar ⭐⭐⭐⭐ beat the carbs by staying off them, if your a former addict, treat carbs as such, so say I, a non doctor - listen though to what the big brains on this say that are doctors and work with deteat diabetes and low carb down under, also rock stars
We totally agree! We know many people struggle to limit carb intake and it's totally understandable when you think about the rows and rows of supermarket shelves dedicated to them - not to mention shop after shop offering carb-laden take-away! That's why we created a 'baby steps' guide to low carb, to help people with that initial transition period.

I need to gain 20 pounds as soon as possible. I’m on an anti-inflammatory diet. I know good fats don’t cause weight gain. What can I eat to gain the weight and then go back to the anti-inflammatory diet?
Not quite true - even good fats will cause weight gain if you eat enough! If you’re aiming to gain weight while following a low carb diet, here are our top tips: - Eat plenty of calories: While we don’t focus on calorie counting, eating real, nutrient-dense foods can help you stay in tune with hunger and fullness cues. - Ease up on fasting: If you’re practicing intermittent fasting, consider adjusting your fasting window to allow for more eating time. - Eat calorie-dense foods: Opt for foods rich in healthy fats and protein, such as pork, nuts, seeds, avocados and cheese. - Add extra healthy fats: Use olive oil, coconut oil, and butter in cooking to increase your calorie intake.
High LDL can be too high when it becomes unhealthy just as much as too low levels. If you get yellow blotches appearing around your eyes or on your eyelids, it;s probably an indicator of your LDL being more than your body can handle and you need to bring it down. The yellow blotches are permanent.
Hi, if you're curious about LDL and our stance on cholesterol, we have some more info in the Defeat Diabetes resources library over here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/free-webinars/the-cholesterol-controversy/

Great stuff ❤❤❤❤
Thanks so much for watching, we're glad you found it interesting! We have lots of other resources on low carb and it's impact on brain health at the Defeat Diabetes site. Here's a quick article for you if you're curious --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/low-carb/the-link-between-type-2-diabetes-and-alzheimers-how-a-low-carb-diet-can-help/
Amazing Amanda! First dietician I've seen that actually gets it!
We have lots more info about the role of carbohydrates and seed oils on inflammation at the Defeat Diabetes resources library. Read more here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/category/resources/
"Bad LDL" is what is caused by mitochondrial dysfunction in the hepatocytes and mitochondria spilling out citrate into the cytosol. This citrate is converted into AcetylCoa and the either into fatty acids (and pushed out of the liver aqs triglycerides) or converted into the HMGCoa and all down to the cholesterol and also pushed out of the liver in a (V)LDL particle...
It makes sense that carbohydrates turn into sugars that damage the endothelial layers in blood vessels, causing damage first in the most delicate and thin blood vessels, such as in the eyes. So eating low carb is the first step in protecting our eyes.
We agree, Bruce! Reducing inflammation is key. If you're are interested in adopting a low carb approach we have more info at the Defeat Diabetes website here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/low-carb/cut-carbs-in-4-easy-steps/
Good points. Thanks for this video.
Thanks for watching!
Thanks for stating this so clearly and concisely.
Glad it was helpful!
But what if you also have a heart valve regurgitation, as many heart patients do? Does raised LDL increase the rate of calcification & stenosis?
Small increases, or even large increases: should not be concerned
Hmm? They kinda skipped past the people who go low carb and experience BIG increases in their LDL (i.e the LMHR people - Lean Mass Hyper-Responders).
@@Malcolm-Achtman yes, I am one.
25:25 human body can make transfats btw
I don’t even bother watching this type of video any more because they all tell us something different - no wonder we’re all confused! The day they all start singing from the same hymn sheet is the day I’ll tune in……
Hi there - for management of type 2 diabetes, the evidence is in, and a low carb approach is acknowledged by peak bodies globally (including the American Diabetes Association, Diabetes UK and Diabetes Australia) as being one of three pathways to achieve better blood glucose and remission (the other two options being bariatric surgery and very low calorie diets). So there is alignment on the best tools to manage type 2 diabetes. Defeat Diabetes has now partnered with Diabetes Australia to provide a digital program for people curious about the health benefits of low carb and who want to use a dietary intervention to work towards remission. You can read more on our partnership here --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/diabetes-australia-and-defeat-diabetes-announce-partnership/
Eat right fir your blood type. Problem solved. Google it.
Great information. Thank you.
Glad it was helpful!
Lifelong hide LDL level is the number one cause of heart disease, the leading cause of death, dietary fat causes, insulin resistance and insulin resistance is at the centre of all leading causes of death, Carbs FTW!! 💪💪💪
New data from the Australian Institute of Health and Welfare puts type 2 diabetes (and therefore insulin resistance) at the top of cause of death among Aussies aged 55+. It's shameful that a condition that can be managed by many by limiting carbohydrate intake should be responsible for so many deaths. --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/type-2-diabetes/shocking-new-data-type-2-diabetes-tops-causes-of-death-for-aussies-over-55/
I'm on an almost zero carb diet and my doctor prescribed me a statin. It goes in the rubbish bin every morning. I won't allow it to go down my throat! Seed oils are toxic. Oxalates are toxic. When I was in hospital I lived on hard boiled eggs for a few days that family and friends brought in for me because they were convenient. Didn't need to be refrigerated. Could eat them hot or cold without a knife and fork any time I wanted. Was not going to eat the sugar poison the hospital would have otherwise forced me to eat.
How good are eggs? And yet many people are still fearful of eating too many. Here we break down the myths on the most egg-cellent snack choice for people on low carb --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/resources/nutrition/are-eggs-bad-for-me/
This is clear, to the point, accurate and logical. Thanks for making this known.

Just jump to @5:40 it will save your life
My brain operates WAY better when I'm in ketosis. Carbs shmarbs. Keto is my way of eating and will be until I die
30:02 prediabeties and brain glucose spikes and inflammation 31:20 pre diabetes and insulin. Fasting blood glucose will stay normal on the road to type 2 diabetes . GP’s check fasting blood glucose and your hemoglobin a1c to see if you already have type 2 diabetes. What you want to know is what’s keeping your blood sugar normal for all those years .which is RISING INSULIN over the years keeping your blood sugars normal till it can’t cope with all the carbohydrates coming in . Rising insulin causes INSULIN resistance which means insulin can’t get though and the brain can’t process glucose and turn it into energy or anything else without adequate insulin . This is the path to Alzheimer’s and other mental health conditions 34:00 cholesterol/ what do you say to people who worry about LDL being to high ??? And doctors want to give a statin ??? .
Any Lyman can understand this stuff so why can't the average Doctor? Thank you the story must be pushed out there. ❤
Thanks for watching, we're so pleased you found it helpful.
As an Australian I think my Governments (State and Federal) are incompetent for not holding the health Departments to account. Health expenditure is just catastrophic, and they keep pouring money into something that is an obvious failure. I had a shock diagnosis, turned to my own research and went Keto. Wife, a lifelong vegetable eater (vegetarian for some years) who always had problems also tried Keto. Health change was fantastic. Off medication (after 30 years). Feel great, brain much clearer. Wife and I are now toying with carnivore. See our friends with problems and they are getting steadily worse yet they just think we are loonies and stick with the Doctors/food pyramid. We don't push the point at all but are somewhat surprised at their lack of interest to do their own research. Our point of view was we didn't want the course the Doctors were setting us on and a drastic change was worth a 3 month experimentation. Was very surprised at how quickly we started feeling better.
Hi. Im also Australian, 63. Went carnivore diet a year ago. Most profound decision of my life. Effortlessly lost 75lbs, cured arthritis, ibs, gastric reflux, depression, anxiety, prostate problems, joint pain, sleep apnoea, inflammation, diabetes and a host of other health problems. My inflammation markers are incredibly low, and my calcium score is zero. My testosterone is through the roof. My brain is calm and sharp. Im back in the workplace now shaming guys half my age. Life changing. Life saving. Ive kicked all my meds and regained my life and my power. When i am convinced of the benefits of a product, i become an excellent salesman, but i have only convinced 2 people that i know to join in. The others, despite watching me transform, think that im crazy and about to die. My daughter followed my lead on Carnivore, and put her new baby daisy on Carnivore solids from 4mths. She took to it instinctively and enthusiastically. Her growth and development was literally off the charts. She walked at 8mths and runs at one. At her first birthday party I watched her trying to get out the window to see her dog. She looks and moves like a 2 year old. Awesome.
Congratulations on your amazing results with keto. Many of our members report similar health benefits following the Defeat Diabetes Low Carb Program. We have lots more you could share with your friends - perhaps they will be persuaded?! -->www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/success-stories/
@@johnallen7367 I expect most babies would behave similarly and resist veggies, as it is instinctive after million years of evolution on a mainly carnivore diet.
@@dennisward43 yes, she gets bacon and eggs for brekky, and loves lamb chops for dinner and she favors the fat. If you give her veggies, she would screw her face up and toss them on the floor for her dogs. The dog doesn't want them either. All species instinctively know what they should be eating. Daisy does.
These videos need Zoe Harcombe to comment on. She brings humour to a pretty boring subject..
We love Zoe - we'll see what we can do! 😉
Here we go again, more lies
Hi, is there something specific in the content that you would like further supportive evidence for? You can read more on the overarching gold-standard evidence behind low carb and its impact on blood glucose management here if you're curious --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/category/resources/science/
Great overview of these topics , unfortunately profit rules the industry at the expense of public health. Pharma sells shed loads of drugs to millions made sick by modern diet
Thank you for watching, we're glad you enjoyed it. While there is a lot of good that comes from the pharmaceutical industry there is very little investment in dietary interventions. Most GPs receiving little to no training on dietary interventions and so it's not surprising they rely on medications. But low carb is an effective, scientific method to achieve remission from type 2 diabetes - so we want to encourage people to do their research and make informed choices regarding their options.

Yes, seed oils (and hydrogenation) are probably the other major factor besides carbohydrates. Both are used extensively in industrially processed "foods".
Absolutely agree, we don't talk nearly enough about seed oils and their impact on our health. Here's some helpful info you might find of interest on the subject --> www.defeatdiabetes.com.au/diabetes-plan/why-should-i-avoid-seed-oils/
Peter,you should consider the smacking of your lips every time you speak…hard to listen to to
Low carb for a year or so. Down a clothing size, and none of my clothes fit! Cook in ghee. Avoid eating out , processed food.
Congratulations on the amazing results you've seen from adopting low carb. You can still eat out on a low carb approach, just be mindful of cooking in seed oils!

Her growth and development was literally off the charts. She walked at 8mths and runs at one. She looks and moves like a 2 year old. Awesome.
@@johnallen7367 So impressive!
Congratulations. It is weird how effective it is. All those years believing the lies.
@@johnallen7367 Children instinctively reject vegetables, but are forced to consume them by adults who have been indoctrinated to think they are doing the right thing for their infants. Children can probably deal with some carbohydrates as their growth and high metabolism will normally deal with the bad fuel before it can cause too much damage. However, standard western diets are overloading even children's ability to cope with carbohydrates. Probably the worst is cereal for breakfast which starts the daily cycle of peaks and crashes of glucose and insulin.
Nina Teicholz. You're my hero! I saw your documentary on cato institute 3 years ago and changed my thinking on nutrition. With you and Dr. Ken Berry I lost 75 lbs and improved my health. So much more than I can list. Thank you!!!
