My motivator for going low carb was finding out that having diabetes (I was diagnosed in Oct 2021) can cause blindness and kidney problems leading to dialysis. My husband was on peritoneal dialysis (Wegener's Granulomatosis). We researched both types of dialysis. Both types have a huge impact on your life. The low carb lifestyle can be both difficult and simple. Difficult because we are going against the current normal way of eating, but simple because it is such an easy way to remit diabetes and other health issues without drugs. And goodbye food cravings and being hangry.
I first visited Dr Sanjeev after a telephone conversation with Dr Rod Taylor. I was one of the people Sanjeev spoke about - already on low carb but unable to find a GP who understood what I wanted. I am pushing 75 years of age and walk 7 days a week and cycle 100kms each week (in three sessions). Those exercise levels are maintained to keep my cardiovascular system in good health - it has nothing to do with weight control - low carb does that. I take full responsibility for my health. I use an iWatch linked to my iPhone to monitor my heart rate, energy burnt, my average speed and VO2 max - not for absolute data but to monitor trends. I’m looking for any significant change which might indicate an issue which needs addressing. There are no guarantees in life, but it is possible to stack the odds in your favour. As for sustainability, I started my low carb journey about 25 years ago. Thank you Sanjeev for addressing my needs.
excellent. in my area I haven’t come across anyone that’s savvy with the Apple Watch data, incredible data streams that everyone should review. could definitely showcase flaws before something really serious happens. vs. one blood pressure test once a year. or less. the pulse rate is incredible when I dance to tunes. or sleep, etc.
Brilliant to hear. I’d recommend some weight lifting too, use as many muscles as possible to preserve them and build as possible. The worst thing would be to not use them. Find your capabilities and work with that. What he covered point 5 Sacropenia. All the best 👏🏼
Excellent presentation from a Doctor in the thick of it. This Doctor is truly enlightened. And I like the way he answers the questions your own GP is not interested in answering. Keep spreading the word.
Well organized and fully understandable. My carnivore purpose is to outlive all the doctors who told me it's unsustainable or I need a metphormin/statins/PPI. 😂
How do you do that? I mean, i tried it for 3 month and it is sooo time consuming and expensive. :( I switched to low carb (50 g carb) an at least i can sustain that xD
My motivator is watching my mother suffer from diabetes watching her progress through chronic kidney disease. And now she is on dialysis twice a week. The chronic inflammation has likely caused vascular dementia. The two decade usage of statins has weakened her muscles causing so much muscular pain as a side effect that she didn't walk. Now she is bedridden. It is a miserable path that I will not follow.
Half your luck. My own GP tells me that my T2 diabetes is progressive. After explaining the old "diabetic plate" to me, his advice ended. That old diabetic plate might work if he didn't also prescribe extended release Metformin, which really doesn't work if you're on that kind of diet imo. Good thing I don't mind managing my own condition with research and a low carb diet. I'm going to succeed just to spite him.
This was wonderful...really enjoyed listening!!! Almost 3 yrs carnivore myself. Down 124 lbs and maintaining!! Off all asthma and allergy meds, depression gone and the list goes on and on! Dont have any doctors that are on board, hoepfully one day tbey will be. Grateful for findong the low carb life 💯🙌😁😍🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩🥩
There is no problem in carbohydates, we have one of the oldest civilization existing ,and we eat a carbohydate diet, problem is refined (sugar and carbohydrates) and fructose as it shocks out mitochondria and liver, our body is made from carbon and we need carbohydates , trust me animals have more variation of diseases and food they are fed are gmo , eat fruits , pineapples, eat bajra etc lentils ,moong daal and other lentils, turmeric ,ashwagandha , garlic,tulsi and see the strength in your body To burn your body do intense exercises and carbohydrate people can do intense exercises as it supports them
Mam I am from INDIA! OUR country has highest percentage of vegetarian popolation! Thats almost 40 %! Thats 600 millions! Nut they love cows and we consume milk and milk products! Its a crime in india to kill cow! And it goes to religion which says god has created all of us and we should not kill other animals to live when you have lots of fruits, veggies and grains! We r humans and only humans have morality! We think that better die than kill animals to live! We have yoga which give us a perfect health!
Awesome talk and story of life since 2.5 years ago. Even with having T2D since 1996 I achieved lots of goals on my diabetes control. Discontinued lots of meds and devices including insulin and CPAP. My mental health is much better my energy levels is much better than before. Having goals and belief are most important points in this journey.
So grateful to Dr Sanjeev for his advice, especially as Perth is an ocean of outdated medical concepts, especially around cholesterol. Another useful presentation!
My motivation was low energy, 25 kg excess weight and some old football (soccer) pains. Everything got resolved and now playing again at the highest level in the old boys.💪🏻 PS. You CAN sprint very fast and continue doing that for a very long time even when your body is running on fat! Don’t believe the lie that you need carbohydrates!
Ketosis…. I’m T1D and am carnivore so I live pretty much in ketosis… however, the local diabetes society have pamphlets that say go to hospital if your ketone level is over 0.6…. if its over 12 then yes… that is an emergency… this so called advice makes no sense and keeps people like me on carbs when they should have none…. It’s just so stupid!!! Like this guy…
I am a MD. The problem is that most doctors don`t know that there is a difference between ketosis and ketoacidosis. Ketoacidosis is an emergency in type 1 diabetics. in this case ketones and glucose are high at the same time. If you are in ketosis due to a ketogenic diet or fasting your glucose is low. Big difference.
_"Bile stasis"!_ Thank you for the term. Googling it returns _"cholestasis"._ I don't remember the phalanx of doctors that examined me using either term. But from their description, that's what put me in the hospital in 2019. I had been eating a low-fat diet for several years prior. I switched to keto the next year and haven't had any medical problems at all since.
My surgeon said it was ABSOLUTELY why I got gallstones - because of following a low fat diet. He said he sees a lot of it although I did wonder why he just didn't mention it to people, like the general public, about low fat being an issue for that. I eat low carb/keto (7 years now) - I have no issues with my diet and lack of gallbladder.
Waiting lists everywhere if you try to change GP and many say they're not taking new patients. There's not a lot of scope for finding a new doctor, not outside the cities anyway. You can go to one of the large public practices but you get whichever doctor is there that day, no continuity.
They exist. Mark Cucuzzella has single handedly influenced enough family docs in WV to the power of low carb that the med school has a low carb culinary track for its med students. One good doctor can do alot.
I wish he was my GP I’m yet to find a GP that supports LC. I’m 57 and been on LC for the last 22 years. My GP’s argue about my cholesterol- last one challenged me to a calcium CT and stress test. Zero issues, zero calcium and then my GP admitted that he couldn’t convince me to take a stain. To me most doctors have little credibility, especially when I see drug company merch of their desks and hear how they go on drug company sponsored retreats. I go sparingly to see GPs, last time 2 years ago. My hope is in the future we have evidence based medicine on sugar, cholesterol and LC.
People need to keep debunking these long held myths from faulty past studies. Eg. So many still do not understand that we need cholesterol. Low cholesterol is harmful, not high. Overall, wise food choices are important for health.
You are asking a random person on the internet to provide advice that requires detailed understanding of your history beyond the scope of information you are are giving. Any information your receive must be taken with a grain of salt and supplemented by your own research. I still sense a sincere question so I will share what came to my mind on hearing your question. Look into weeks long prolonged water fasting. Mix in sweat lodge type sauna detoxing. On the way listen for signs, internally given, what brought this on and what is the path out. Best of luck to you on your journey. May you find the answer you seek.
I'm 77 and I still do lots of intense cardio. I do long hard bike rides (56 miles yesterday) and have no joint problems from it. I don't do the exercise to lose weight but to keep my cardio system healthy and because I like cycling.
I have LDL 187 and diagnosed with hypertension. Was asked to monitor bp for a month and reduce weight and after a blood test, the doctor will put me on medication , if required. For this 1 month, I have been asked to avoid red meat and egg,limit chicken. Will this help in reducing LDL?
I’m putting my type 2 into remission - it will give me back my quality of life and lifespan, I’m 80kg 178cm. But I want my body back! My GP had no clue neither does my stubborn wife who believes the old BS and won’t learn this enlightened data. I’m going this alone.
Hello Aiken, I became diabetic remission with low carbs, good fat, high fat protein, avoid added sugar/fructose and daily 30mins strength training. Lost 8kg to my personel weight treshold. My hba1c was 15.3% came down to 4.8% in 3 months flat. Ite now 6 months still same hba1c. I believe fatty pancreas cause s insulin resistance. Now no fatty pancreas insulin is sensitive now. Also once diabetic type 2 remission do homa ir test for insulin every 1 month to check insulin sensitivity increases and not blood sugar test . Never ever took any medication even doctors were forcing them . Good luck
There are studies showing sat fats boosting inflammation. In fact high sat fats are correlated with higher MS risk and lowering sat fats with less symptoms.
Very good information, Yep, we are three at home, each follow a different diet, each cook for themselves, I am on low carb, high fat diet, 5 years. Sugar( Carb) is addiction, just like alcohol, both will kill you, slowly!!!!
Why would our bodies create something that is harmful to us? I can't get my head around that, If I feel well I don't give a hoot what my cholesterol levels are!
You'd think that since he learned English and is speaking to an English audience that he would at least make some marginal attempt to use comprehensible enunciation.
@@Elexyr I do listen and hear his thick accent which he makes no attempt to adjust. I just don't personally like the lack of respect he shows to his host nation through his unwillingless to adapt his accent.
@@Iliek wow. are you kidding? How is having an accent lack of respect to host nation? How many languages do you speak. If you speak more than English, do you speak the others with perfect accents? I doubt it. This kind man has just put together a very informative video and all you can hear is his accent? I understood all of it because I was gratefully listening and not listening with a view to tearing a person down. Using the term host nation also implies that Doctor Balikrishnan doesn't belong here. He is a valued member of the Australian community. Probably contributing to it far more than you. You should be ashamed of yourself.
Basically his conclusion of presentation is that humans should eat exotic wild whole animals only all the days, he try to telling human is the cornivore , but he forget our Himalayan rishis were eats only and only roots , lives , and fruits and they were lives long and very healthy life.
