Dr. Stephen Phinney - 'Troubleshooting the Ketogenic Diet for Optimal Weight and Health' 

You are bloody amazing, keep it up. I wish you all the very best

Keep up the great work! i m proud of you!

Congratulations on the weight loss. Keep on grinding.👏👏👏

How're you doin?

How you doing today fine sir! I hope all is well. Keep it up.

Same here. My family refuses to listen.

I think many people love their carb cravings so much they do not believe they can live better and enjoy not eating them. What no potatoes, ice cream, soda, etc ?? What they don't realize is they will not WANT to eat those things anymore that are killing them.

Amen Kate!🙏😇

Work with the willing

Nobody believed i had a dairy allergy. They thought i was a crank. Now 35 yrs later they are crippled with arthritis, overweight, diabetic whilst i am arthritis free, fit and happy. Just concentrate on yr own health. You have told them. It is their choice.

Jy Ty -- I hope you will continue to speak up and be a real LEADER in this subject!!!! I'm excited for you and wish you great luck in all of your endeavors.

The Adventist influence reaches deep in most medical and nutritional institutions. Their fervent views on meat and fat consumption are very disappointing and I would say biased.

I especially like your pool reference, because it is a good way to describe the process to people with less scientific experience…. and to aid cognitive doctors to rest their traditional medical instruction to grasp simply the damage from the typical ADA diet (and SAD diet most people tend to eat.

I have a question no one has asked. I'm taking extra virgin olive oil for it's fat content and get about 500 calories daily from that but it's mainly mono unsaturated fats. How does this compare to coconut oil which is like 90% saturated fat and barely any unsaturated fat. Would someone following a ketogenic diet benefit from taking coconut oil as apposed to olive oil for less inflammation?

Eventually, no breakfast will too

Darla jean Santana Born with or got in a vaccine?

@@adorinadorin get your toxic rhetoric off here

@@adorinadorin that was the first thing that came to my mind, I have a buddy that was a fire fighter, he never had issues, but after five years, they require all them to get all the vaccines. His genetic definitely does not work with them, he has had all kinds of seizures now, it’s sad, he lost his job.

Wish I knew about it when my daughter was young with epilepsy--bravo John Hopkins for doing it

@darla Jean Santana Did you weigh food out or just measure it? I have seizures too and my drs won't help me with diet.

That is so true!

Are you happy?

Keto has helped me lose weight, reverse T2d & IMPROVE metabolic syndrome...but I'm still wanting to eat all the time. 😒

This is the same thing I'm doing. However I do get hungry and I still have craving. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. I do know though a lot of time I'm hungry because its "dinner" time, not necessarily because I'm hungry.

@@critter4004 I make up by eating alot of cucumbers and cabbages and drink a variety of teas . When I on the go I don't feel hungry at all , even forget to drink water. But when I am indoors then the hunger set in and the cucumbers do the trick.

@@cappaslangmurderer Yes

Yeah there has actually been a study where they have found very low mineral content in bone broth, you have to add veggies to the broth to get the minerals.

You can buy plain pure potassium chloride powder from Amazon cheaply. I make my own electrolytes, I am Day 16 on carnivore from gluten free , mostly grain free but high sugar SAD. That was a BIG HARD shift, but I'm on the other side now, every day is a new experience. So glad I'm between positions right now so I can just BE and adjust! 👍😁

@@justlookattheflowers4239 link to said study?

Isn't Dr Phinney a bit overweight?

yes! I needed that info!

He’s making lots of money through Virta Health too.

That was your body speaking to you ! (Instincts)

yep...am there. I gotta get my magnesium and potassium back in line and cut down my milk products too...

You are no longer on what?? Pins? what are they?

@@JudgeDredd888 =A sense of overall calmness I noticed that too.

Same here!!!👍☺

Yeah i find the same, not with Covid but with a common cold. Hubby was really bad, both kids milder but still snotty and me nothing.

I have a non keto vegetarian diet, and I recover very quickly from infections too

When I use salt substitutes THAT'S when I get heart palpitations...I guess I am weird?

Of course, if anyone is a Type 1 diabetic, that is a health condition that has to be taken into consideration no matter what one chooses to eat or drink. However, unless specified, speakers uusually refer to the general population, or T2D.

All the best!

“Diabetes Solution” Book by Dr. Richard K. Bernstein, Diabetologist and T1D for 75 of his 87 years; no complications. His book is a necessary resource for Type 1 Diabetes. Since following his diet (very similar to this video), and recommendations I have no had an illness (infection) in 7 years. It also makes T1D so much easier to control. I’d run away FAST from the ADA high carb diet, as it keeps people getting sicker, year by year.

Add in testing Vitamin D. •25(OH)D •iPTH •Serum calcium (This rules out parathyroid issues before supplementing) 1000 IU D3 is only equivalent to 25 mcg. Many people need up to 10x that amount to optimize their Vitamin D. Cofactors to daily D3 are: 200 mcg Vitamin k2 400-600 of Magnesium (not oxide form/poor absorption) Take with meal containing healthy fat as D3 (at breakfast or lunch with half the magnesium) and Take K2 (at supper with meal containing healthy fat) along with other half of magnesium. D3 and K2 are fat soluble, needing fat in diet to absorb. Optimal 25(OH)D 80 ng/dL 200 nmol/L Vitamin D protocol aids in !immune balance and improves insulin sensitivity along with the diet like described in this video. Di your own research.

Aren't there carbs in nutritional yeast?? I am new to all of this. ..

Bs

Yes. Type Os Especially

Let me add, true evidence based, science backed nutritional information

Money. After vaccines and statins, insulin given to Type 2 diabetics is one of the most lucrative products for pharma corporations. That said, the word is getting out there, bit by bit.

Big money to be made from keeping people SICK

@@Jefferdaughter Same with all those other drugs and treatment: BP meds Anti-depressants Anti-anxiety Anti-inflammatories Diuretics Cancer drugs Hormone replacement Testosterone Prostate meds Type 2 meds like sulfonylureas Gout meds Dementia meds/‘care’ Heart surgeries Digestive meds like PPIs. Cold meds Pain meds Constipation meds Antibiotics Even hearing aids $$$ Glasses $$$ Periodontal disease treatment Heart meds Infertility meds Meds for menopause symptoms Example: They test and treat thyroid poorly, so they can prescribe all the various meds for the numerous expected symptoms. All they need to do is treat thyroid correctly, and not only with T4. We need T3 dosed correctly. Testing TSH alone will not tell you about the status of the thyroid health. TSH is a pituitary marker. Another, keeping Vitamin D deficient. We need optimal, not ‘in range’. (Especially with the events in the last two+ years, starting in 2019.

Cassie Oz. Total carb is carbs minus the fiber.

Yes, potassium chloride is somewhat bitter. If you think that's bad, try magnesium chloride! What I do is create a standard mix of these three salts that I use for cooking. As long as there is sufficient sodium in the mix, the taste of these salts is fine _in food_ (though it is still pretty bad if you taste it by itself), and it makes it easy to get enough of each of these minerals. To do this, just decide how much of each mineral (Na+, K+, Mg2+) you want, and then _divide_ that amount by the mass percentage of each element within the compound you are using. Here's some data: Potassium Chloride (KCl): 52.4% K Sodium Chloride (NaCl): 39.3% Na Magnesium Chloride (MgCl2*6H2O): 12.0% Mg So for example, if you want 500 mg of Sodium, the amount of NaCl needed is: 500 mg / 0.393 = 1272 mg NaCl Using these formulas in a spreadsheet, it is easy to put together whatever salt mix you want.

Which means that we need double the amount of salt mentioned to meet our sodium needs. On the Low Carb Down Under, there are other talks that refer to an extensive study published about 3 years ago which measured salt intake and found that death by all causes was LOWEST in people consuming DOUBLE the amount of salt/sodium that the US government recommends. If you have not seen it, you may want to look for it. It was a real eye-opener. Commercial table salt has had the other trace minerals removed, and chemicals added to help prevent the processed salt from caking together in humid weather, so that 'when it rains, it pours'. commercial salt has also been super-heated, which changes it. For those reasons, and for superior flavor, many people are choosing unprocessed salts like Himalayan or Redmond Natural Trace Mineral salt from the USA. More info on processed salt:

@@Jefferdaughter - Celtic salt is also good containing 82 elements of the 92 elements in natural salt with no added chemicals. Not sure if this is recommended as I'm very new to understanding this type of diet and at this stage learning.

@@georgiag3892 When I took chemistry there were only 2 elements in SALT: Sodium and Chloride. When did we find the other 90 elements and how do you spell that out? e.g. Table Salt = NaCl.

And pepper?

Appleblade Goddam Right!

And a genius!

I would go by the weight you should be for your height and frame. Not the weight you are.

I read this years ago but it seems like it was squashed because the diet was never debunked they were not eating their normal diet because it was during Lent and that was not reported and also there were so few people in the study. People just have to make things fit their own agenda

I am a Veterinarian not a human cardiologist or Respiratory physician but I see no one else has answered your question . These comments from me may get the ball rolling . Suggest Get baseline blood tests first. Seek out a Keto doctor. Keto for weight loss - Usually YES. Will it improve congestive heart failure- Not sure.( other clinicians please comment) Inflammation will reduce on Keto so will probably have better mobility? My experience very important to measure Blood ketones so you are not guessing about whether you are in Ketosis . Hope these comments help. Dr John Stewart BVSc

Well she’s not going to live long or comfortably as she is so it’s worth a try.

Yes. Get a doctor who understands this diet. Pre-test levels first. Get a copy of all those test results including reference ranges The test should be related to the meds she is taking. Start gradually, one meal at a time. Part of diet is habit, but it can affect digestion. Some people who are sicker can get constipated if they are already prone to this, or meds which worsen this.(This ties in to quality of life, people feel sickly when digestion isn’t balanced) Journal diet before, and journal as each change is made to diet) At home, you can learn to monitor some things daily, or more. Example: Blood pressure (done correctly) Blood sugar (Contour Next) Blood Ox metre on finger Asthma peak flow metre Weight (DEXA scan is even more accurate) Doctor should test to be aware if certain meds are no longer needed or need to be reduced. That’s why doctor should be involved. The patient’s weight affects dosage too, as many drugs the dosages are calculated based on patient’s weight. If weight loss occurs, dosage may need lowering. Research for yourself in detail, drug name, purpose of drug, all side effects, interactions, if one needs to wean off that particular drug gradually. Afterwards, at appointment, doctor why they choose that drug, and why they believe it is best. Some drugs are used off-label. (Example of a drug used off-label is Viagra) Note that if someone is used to eating a high carb diet, they will need to transition. Make sure you learn it very well yourself first, especially about the electrolytes, salt, potassium requirements. Your mom may also be resistant. Since the 1970s, previous doctors would tell patients to eat low fat, high carb, and people believed them, and may find eating the opposite internally difficult. You need to be very patient and kind with that issue. Ask mom’s permission allowing you to help. Include her in the discussion. Keep it simple at first. If she agrees, you may get better compliance in the long run. If you don’t eat this way, it would be better if you eat this way too. Mom will trust you more. Make it a family team effort.

Check out all the different kinds of success stories here: meatrx.com/category/success-stories/keto-success/ Good luck to you!

Removing all grains, beans, and nightshades would be a very good start!

AND NO SUGAR INCLUDING FAKE SWEETENERS!!!!

I bet Carnivore would get you there much quicker! I have been Carnivore for 2 years and slipping back into Keto occasionally actually was bad for me. Autoimmune disease responds to Carnivore ! I have fibromyalgia neuropathy pains, and multiple other autoimmune issues. It did take a full year for me to notice improvement in my Fibro but then I did! and now at 2 years a marked improvement! And for me -Keto was harder because I still had cravings but Carnivore-set me free! The health improvements are in the dozens and I went on this for congestive heart disease issues which are much much better!

@@IndigoAwakener this is still an issue for me...ugh. aspartame. I know it’s not good and probably horrible but...I have given up so much already and my CPTSD does scream for sweet comforts...

I think that it doesn't KICK you out of ketosis (the right kinds of liquors) but that it basically puts it on hold until the liver has finished metabolizing the alcohol. So rather than your body having to get you back into ketosis, it just picks up where you left off.

Sanguine High sugar alcohol will. Not the dry white wines. Rewatch

Sanguine My experience is that drinking some wine does not kick me out of ketosis. I was at about 2.5 mml and I went to a wine expo where I tasted different wines (primarily rosé and white, so high carb content) over a period of two 1/2 hours. I was not kicked out of ketosis. I was really surprised because I also ate bits of bread when tasting olive oil and sausages provided at the same expo. So, maybe it was the meat that kept the glucose bounce under control. I’ve a similar experience when just having a glass of wine at a cafe. I life in France and wine is pretty big deal here. I’d hate to lose the option to drink it :0)

Alcohol is perceived in the body as POISON. Why would anyone voluntarily do that to themselves? Just LEAVE IT.

Burt Toone Depends

I think it has to be assumed that the net amount of those within the body may change but is not changing at such a dramatic rate for a sustained period of time, but that the increased excretion rate sustained over a longer period relates to increased intake. Just think of the cumulative affect on net body levels over many days if your hypothesis were true; it would be substantial. Not a scientist either.

Keep at it, and lower carbs towards to zero point. Some people cannot tolerate any carbs, especially those who are extremely Insulin resistant

Not a doctor. Ketoacidosis is where your blood literally turns acidic to the point where it causes problems with the whole system. Blood glucose levels at that point would be irrelevant. In a healthy person with functioning insulin system you couldn't reach ketoacidosis while glucose is normal, because of the effect of the insulin inhibiting glucagon in the process of maintaining blood sugar. In a Type 1 diabetic you have little to no internal insulin production so you can potentially have ketoacidosis with normal glucose depending on diet.

No, not unless you have uncontrolled blood sugars/stop taking insulin. Great job on running normal blood sugars by the way!

Hi, no, as long as you put insulin inside you, you should be fine and well, as it will maintain BG low. Ketoacidosis can occur without a keto diet if you forget insulin, as the body secretes glucose from muscles (and if you're eating it, receives it from food) and ketones from bodyfat, putting all these into circulation without control and dangerously lowering the blood pH because there's no insulin signaling glucagon to stop and nutrients cannot enter cells. So, it's basically an uncontrolled, unbalanced catabolic state that is entirely caused by the lack of the regulating hormone insulin. You can actually avoid "normal" diabetic complications (which aren't normal at all) later in the years if you adopt a keto diet, as they are mainly caused by continuous glycation damage that occurs every time you get your BG higher than normal (higher than 90-100mg/l), and with a low carb diet you greatly mitigate BG swings.

From one well managed type1 to another (my last A1c was 4.9%). Type1 (as we do it) is an intense management burden. You have to prioritize your goals. Being in ketosis or ketogeninc is so far down my list it isn't funny. Now, I don't know you, if you have weight issues or have experienced muscle wasting but 70 grams of protein seems like a very low target to me. I set mine at 1.5 grams per Kg of ideal lean weight which for me is 86Kg for a target of 130gms Protein. Since I did experience severe wasting before my diagnosis, I'm playing catch up. Many keto enthusiasts are protein adverse and we type1's should be generous in that regard depending on individual situation. Don't lump protein in as a "Percentage Macro-nutrient". It isn't there for energy like carbs and fat are. And don't worry about gluconeogenesis yes, protein will raise your blood sugar and we plan for that, that is what bolus injections are for. Finally, Bood glucose management first, last and always. If you manage that, ketoacidosis from diet is not an issue. You may run into diabetologists and endos talking about euglycemic ketoacidosis or ketoacidosis with "normal" blood sugar. Dig into it more deeply and you will find they have the "standard diet" and typical standards of care blinders on where they consider a blood sugar below 200 Mg/dl (11.1 mmol/l) and 60% carbs "normal"....for a type 1. Definitely not normal for us. When you follow the Bernstein plan you really have to take expert guidance with great caution as they the are stuck in the high carb / high blood sugar paradigm. They accidentally kill us all the time.

@@SteveHonakerII This is not good advice. A well managed type1 will not get ketoacidosis from diet any more than a normal person will. There are extreme risks of this but not from a well formulated VLCHF diet. You can find in the literature where DKA with "Normal" blood sugars is cited but these use the ADA definition of "Normal" in the context of a high carb diet. If you read the papers, they define "Normal" as being below 200mg/dl or 11.1 mmol/l. This is wildly abnormal blood sugar.

Yes. What we call salt is NaCl, half and half sodium and chloride. Salts that have not been processed will also contain trace and micro-trace minerals, like the pink Himalayan salt, or Redmond natural trace mineral salt from Utah which are also beneficial. Processed table salt has no trace minerals left, has been super heated which alters it, and has had harmful chemicals added. It also tastes horrible compared to unprocessed salts. Only a small percentage of the population has to be concerned about salt intake. The rest of us, so long a we drink enough water, don't have to worry about it. Salt is not the cause of the majority of cases of high blood pressure - sugar is: articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2015/02/25/sugar-blood-pressure.aspx

Pretty Much, yes!

Kathy Noggles Nature can get polluted and only time will tell. But it will certainly be at a point at which you can maintain a body weight without constantly fighting gain with constant willpower. But as a general marker, a healthy waist to height ratio is probably an area to test and should certainly be the long-term weight loss goal for anyone. And even then you’re weight will fluctuate a bit, cycles, etc.. Remember, slow and steady is what this race is all about.

I’m 68 and I’ve been doing keto with IF for two years. Usually around 30 carbs a day mainly from vegetables. Although in the beginning I was 10 to 15 carbs a day. I lost 35 pounds which put me at the weight that I was in my 20s. For the last eight or nine months I haven’t fluctuated more than 1 to 2 pounds. Up or down. I don’t count calories I just eat until I’m full. It seems this is the weight my body wants to be and it’s holding steady.

Agree. It's Ridiculous. They guy who idiotically theorized that animal fat was bad for us was going off studies of RABBITS, who have NOTHING in common with human digestion.... And the govt went along with it because they make a fortune in garbage grains like corn, and big pharma keeping people sick.

Bare in mind that 70% of uric acid comes from our own body and 30% from our food. Maybe medication is something you need to reconsider, cause if it's something that has nothing to do with nutrition and remains untreatable it will lead to kidney stones. But of course you must trust your doctor.

If you haven't been on the keto lifestyle or fasting for very long, give it some time. Your uric acid levels will come down.

Time and switch to Carnivore too will solve that.
