Ep:26 Understanding Type 2 Diabetes 

I couldn’t agree more with this comment. My mind is blown. This is life changing.

That sounds like diabetes type 1. Alternatively you could be experiencing "insulin repression", check out his video on that subject.

I'm guessing, sounds like you still have a very " fatty liver" maybe 3 years hasn't been enough time. Maybe go omad from now till your blood glucose comes down.

@@Rollanotheronemyfriend What's annoying is that I had an MRI for something else and my doctor pointed out the two hernias but when I asked about the fatty liver she said to contact the technician but due to covid they weren't answering calls at the time so I just said forget it. They just don't seem to give a damn unless you're doing it their way.

but sadly my insurance does not support anyone who is keto or low carb nor can i afford to go off insurance.

@@splatterdaynightmares maybe ask Dr Robert Cywes for his opinion. His office is in Miami, and at the end of some videos he gives his phone number. Good luck!

@@Rollanotheronemyfriend yeah he’s a little out of my budget

How have you been doing with all that?

@myvidsandsuch I used to weigh 80ish pounds had no energy, etc. Well i started doing whole milk yogurt and cheese. You will be surprised at the results. I think it took 3-4 months to be over 100lbs!!! Currently I'm 109lbs I'm not gaining any more weight. Im still eating yogurt and cheese daily but is as if my body took what it needed to rebuild itself.

Right. It's unfair to say "well if he starts eating massive carbs again he'll get T2D again, so he's not cured." That's just setting the bar too high for what we're willing to call a "cure".

@@TheFrankHummer That's the gist.

lola d whoever that guy is he is a lunatic out to try to kill people with diabetes.

ESPITIT---what is this?

Ohhhh--you're referring to Medical Medium--got it now......😀

I haven't seen the video yet, but sometimes when people say "zero carb", they mean "carnivore". Congratulations on the A1c.

Christa Wild carnivore

Watch other videos by Dr Cywes. He says: don't count the carbs in vegetables.

@@TheFrankHummer I'm just not (yet maybe) convinced that it is healthy not to eat veg.

@@piquedame4304 I follow so many doctors on low carb/keto so struggle to keep up with who says what exactly. But in any case the vast majority of my 35g carbs a day are from veg anyway so I should be ok.

Yes It's true. There is evidence that a low fat, HIGH carb diet works. At least for a while. The main issue here is BOTH high carb and HIGH fat. Too much fat will increase insulin resistance, per the Randle Cycle. The reason it doesn't happen on keto is very low carb. It's excess that's the enemy. If your eating high carb and high fat, then both glucose and fat energy potential is high and the two after going to compete to be metabolized. Glucose is the bigger threat, so glucose will win and fat well be stored rather than burned, and excess body fat is toxic. In body cells, insulin helps usher glucose inside. Insulin resistance makes this tougher. In fat cells though, it works the opposite, insuln keeps the gunk locked away in fat, inside. But when you're insuln resistant, it can't keep the door locked and the gunk leaks out. As for plant based Eh It's not for me I don't think it will hold up. If we simply look at nature, we see intent via equipping. Humans have teeth that crush and grind, for plants and teeth that rip and tear, for meat. In history Humans ate meat They ate plants when they were available and there were few places then, where plants were available all year. Humans migrated following the herds of their prey. Equipping and history tell us It's not an either/or issue but rather a both/and one. It's both meat and plants, not one or the other. To simplify what Dr Cywes said Diabetes is nothing more than the inability to properly regulate blood sugar. Doesn't matter why, in grasping the idea. Whether it's insuln resistance or deficency, the end result is the same. Blood sugar that's too high. As he stated Diet is the largest contributor to blood sugar. Period Absolutely nothing else comes close. A non Diabetic, had about a teaspoon, around 4 grams of sugar in their entire blood volume. But a canned soda, can be ten times or more what's naturally there. Just one. We create and store glucose The skeletal muscle holds the majority and it's locked in, it can't be used for cellular energy. It's about 1200 cal or 300 grams. So, that's a bunch but remember, it's locked in the muscle it's not a threat. The body has no access to it for energy needs. The threat is the sugar that's stored in the liver. But that's only about 300 cal or 75 grams. Or, two 12 oz regular coca cola's and a tad bit. The studies I've seen, showed that glucose creation at it's highest only amounts to a quarter of total glucose at fasting, which is usually highest. If fasting is 90 Glucose creation is only reasonable for around 22 mg of it. The fact is, diet is the largest glucose threat and as such. It is our greatest weapon to fight back. Imo from the research I've done and just a common sense thing If you eat high carb, long enough, you're going to kick v invasion resistance into gear, no matter what the carb is you're eating. Plant based will help initially, but overall, it's still going to drive resistance up and it may eventually push you over the edge. Another threat here is it's far more common to see plant based processed foods, than high fat processed. Look at all the fake meats out there now and look at the ingredients list for them. There's plant stuff there, but the majority is chemical additives and preservatives to mimic the texture and look of meat. I mean seriously Natural flavors are in all these things, they won't divulge what that entails. Define natural flavors. Lol So Yes A low fat, high carb diet can help Bit it may not last Low carb high fat will work better as a long term treatment because the threat from the high fat aspect is lowered but the fact that the body is using the fat, not storing it. It can't be a threat, if the body has used it. It's no longer there. It's been utilized,, it's history. Can it help? Yes Will it last? That's still to be determined In the other corner There's a LOT of history in support of carb restriction. Drs Allen and Joslin used it 100 years ago in their practice in the years before insuln was discovered and they added years to a patient group that typically lived just a few months beyond diagnosis. Humans in ancestral times ate carbs bit they had neither the availability nor sneaky food companies we do. They ate carbs just part of the year and their food was fresh, they're want a Mickey D's on every corner or instant bunk in a box waiting at the store. Quite simply If carb restriction were a serious hazard to life, humanity would be extinct. It works Because carb restriction for Diabetes uses the natural physiology of the body to correct it. Sorry for the novel. The super simple nuts and bolts- It's easy as this Carbs in, glucose up Glucose up, risks up. Less carb in, Glucose up less Glucose up less, risks up less.

Remember the Carb loading and high carb diet for the marathon runners. They could drop dead from heart attacks. They were slim. The constant high carb diet still hurt their blood vessels.

@charlenewilliams219 Thanks for your reply, even after 3 years. Meat and fat still make me feel like crap. That's the bottom line for me. Even though I have a high CACS.

@@jim5jim5jim5 Carl it must be tough. I have been searching for the right diet for me for years. Still working on it. I am one of those who is happy with her weight. Thus I cannot look to weight loss as a perimeter as whether the diet is for me or not. Higher fat is what keeps me satiated though. As a Christian I do believe that we are SUPPOSED TO take good care of our bodies without being too obsessive of course. I prayed and asked about it. W seem to be moving towards 40% protein- 40% fat 20% carbs - no processed foods or oils- no bread, pasta allow potatoes in moderation some veggies very occasionally fruit in small amounts. I would love to see things work out for you as you have been working hard to do so. Blessings from Canada

@@mdrobnson3912 well done ! You have done a fantastic job of summarizing the proper human diet search. Part of things does seem to be where we live, our ancestry, our personal life style. I still ask God as I search what’s best for me. I want things to go well for those in my circle. For our children coming up to be healthy too.

Your body has a hard time extracting nutrients and minerals from vegetables

Animal products

It's just a belief! Beef has ALL the nutrients our bodies need in the perfect ratios! Check out Meatheals.com for lots of stories of people healing many issues by getting rid of veggies!

Veggies 😊

No

Chia seeds or psyllium fiber. Always be sure to take plenty of water WITH the fiber OR it WILL plug you up rather than OPEN you up. 🙂

Yep me too 🤔
