IF forever! Not ever going back! At 68, male, been doing omad for 4 months, lost 50 pounds and dropped all 5 medications, diabetes, hbp prostate, acid reflux, and definitely statins! Tons of energy and no more brain fog!
My new hero’s are medical providers that think for themselves and don’t blindly prop up big pharma institutions….god bless these brave souls for actually making people better….we need to get Dr. PJ a cape
1. Cut out glucose 2. Cut out sugar (fructose is worse than glucose) Contributes to fatty liver. Reduce fruit juices. 1 seasonal fruit a day 3. Reduce the amount if alcohol (fatty liver) 4. Avoid seed oils & Trans fats & partially hydrogenated foods. No flour, bread, cookies, cakes. Ask is this product going to increase my insulin levels. Avoid protein shakes.
I am 73 and have avoided sugar for the most part all my life. I am an avid gym rat. I still weigh the same as I did when I was in the army at 17 ... 154lbs. Everything the good Doctor says is right on the money. I suspected that about protein shakes because I get extremely sleepy after having one and I always get the no sugar or low sugar type. So it is the BCA's that are doing it ... good to know!
I've lost 38 pounds in 5 months. I do an18/6 fast 3 or 4 times a week and a16/8 the rest of the week with a 22 hour fast once or twice a month (OMAD). I do a very low sugar and low carb with no processed foods eating regime. No processed carbs. No seed, vegetable, canola or corn oils and no processed foods out of a box. I take time shopping and read labels. I only use olive oil and butter. I am looking for a good high quality organic avocado oil since I recently found out not to cook with olive oil and only use it cold or room temperature out of the bottle. I try and use only organic, and if not organic, high quality foods (such as no pesticides, no GMO, grass fed/grass finished whenever possible.) whenever I can. I eat one piece of fruit a day when I have fruit, but not every day. The exceptions are when I am invited to somebody's house for dinner (still no sugar and very few carbs most of the time) and when I go out to a restaurant (invitations are around holidays or are rare and restaurants are about once a week) where I try to be careful. It costs a lot more, but I am eating a lot less so the cost is only slightly higher. I just found out that they use some of the highest amounts of pesticides on coffee and I will be switching to organic coffee as soon as my current supply runs out. It is about the same price as name brand coffees. There is poison everywhere on virtually everything including coffee makers cooking utensils, plastics, and pots and pans. It is virtually impossible to avoid. If you aren't rich it is even harder, but I do the best I can. My gout has subsided greatly and my arthritis inflammation is all but gone. I still have hypertension which is under control with medications, and I hope that problem gets solved too. I still have a way to go, but it is so encouraging that I am amazed. It's not a diet, it's a different way of eating. There is no going back. I am not hungry at all 99% of the time. If I am hungry (rarely) I pay no attention to it and the hunger is gone in less than 5 minutes. Most times when I do feel like eating, it is not hunger, it is habit which has all but dissipated. I feel much, much better now.
I was taking four different medications for HBP, a couple of them twice a day. I did a 14 day water fast and had to keep reducing those meds throughout the fast. I finished that fast about a month ago and have gone to eating on a 18/6 IF window and have completely eliminated ALL of the blood pressure medications while keeping my BP within the ideal range.
@@thetree7694most people have to work up to 14 days. The longest I’ve gone is five days but I did feel like I could have gone longer fairly easily. I just wanted to eat on a Saturday. If this is something you’re interested in, try an easier level at first like twelve hours, then sixteen, then maybe just one meal every day, then every other day. I struggled a lot with going to sleep without eating but that’s something that you can acclimate to as well over time.
my notes:1:20 cut out glucose, cut out fructose, (cut out sugar) look out for fatty liver, arteriosclerosis cut out excessive carbohydrates, cut out corn syrup, reduce fruit juices, eat 1 fruit daily instead.... reduce alcohol intake (fatty liver) cut out processed seed oils, avoid trans fats (processed foods) (partially hydrogenated foods) (flour, bread, biscuits, cookies, cakes are processed carbohydrates! avoid ,protein shakes!
@@hemab5913 you need to watch his lecture about addiction on the galen foundation youtube channel. Where he mentions the lists of food we should be consuming. Its either addiction or the fasting benefit video.Good luck.I normally do 22 hours fast and then have salmon or eggs or lamb steak with lots of salad and I dont feel hungry for next 20 hours and can go longer.Good luck👍
I was 100kg at 50 with 14/20 visceral fat levels and always tired and weak in strength with brain fog and forgetfulness and low libido. I cut out processed foods, bread,pastry,biscuits,cakes and all sugar and started to cook from whole food ingredients and go to the gym twice a week. I am now 85kg, 40% stronger and of sharper mind and feeling youthful and more confident in my day to day mental and physical health. Also cut out alcohol and have been intermitent fasting for two month 18 hr/6hr every day to promote autophagy. my visceral fat level is now 8/20 and my libido is normal again so feeling more like 40 than 52.
is the energy you gained really a result of reducing processed foods and all sugars or is it actually just function of losing body fat and exercising (both which increase testosterone ). Seems more like its a function for how many calories in and out rather than where you got the calories. I remember in school wearing weighs all day and being so tired by the time i came home and just wanting to sleep...I imagine being fat is like that except you cant just unbuckle the weight.
@@konic40 interesting idea but I think that sugar, flour and processed foods are something that contribute to the obesity of western/progressive! Society along with a sedentary lifestyle and spending half our waking life looking at a screen. In fact, I think the human race has never been so unhealthy and sick. Without medical intervention we would have lost so many people from a general lack of care, activity and natural stimulus. For me, personally I have benefitted from eating whole foods, drinking water and paying greater attention to my state of health which was poor and compounded by the commercialisation of food that even the producer knows is not fit for frequent consumption. I loved my microwave meals and takeaways and cheap restaurants but I now know that keeping things simple is better for my health. There will always be those who can eat whatever they want and not put weight on and live a long life but they are tend to be the minority. My body composition two years ago showed extremely high visceral fat levels and I was so upset because I had no idea and had eaten the same meals as my wife for 15 years. She is 5ft and 45kg and had the same test and was normal. Your genetics have a lot to do with how you respond to certain foods. I see processed food as dead because there are no enzymes but I am not a chemist so I can only say that I feel much better than for many years. We all have to find out what's best for us and you may be right that I could eat pizza twice a week and go back the microwave meals and still live long but I have no reason to take that risk anymore.
My doc didn't want to test my insulin level because she thought it didn't matter. I insisted. Fasting level was 28. She was not concerned at all. Normal level would have been around 3 ish. Last script was for Glimepiride. I'm dumping this sh!t, and starting 16/8 fast. I've heard enough from Dr. Ekberg, Dr. Fung, Dr. Berry, Dr. Berg, Dr. Baker (yea, meat guy), Dr. Davis, even Dr. Atkins. Now, Dr. Jamnadas. Thank you sir. I'm convinced.
I cut it all out and fast 48+ hours twice a week. Carb free diet…..high fat and high quality meat! 62lbs down in 9 weeks. And bloods never looked better! Thanks Doc
Thank you easy to follow. I started not snacking and drinking water all day. I’ve lost about 10 lbs in a month. Wasting healthy home made Whole Foods. So grateful. God bless you.
In my own personal experience with T2D, as well as my own research, I have found the information that is presented in this video to be 100% spot on. I reversed T2D and stage 1 kidney disease with a low carbohydrate, whole food, animal-based diet.
@@MasculineIdeal I have over 10 years of pretty consistent blood work with the same doctor if that's what you mean. My doctor has it all consolidated - I'll see if I can get a copy the next time I'm in (within the next month or so). We tried so much stuff over the years but I continued to trend the wrong way. When I was 30 my A1C was already prediabetic (23andme says I'm genetically predisposed - and it runs in my family). By the time I was 39 my A1C was over 7 and my kidneys were struggling. (Dark urine, weird smelling, and kidney pain). I tried all sorts of "healthy" diets, exercised regularly, maintained a healthy weight, and tried various supplements. After going low/no carb & animal-based my A1C dropped to 5.2% after only 3 months and has stayed there for the past ~2 years. It sounded like an absolutely terrible idea to start with and I had a lot of concerns, but in hindsight it was one of the best decisions I've ever made.
@@jcarleezy hey that's good to hear whatever works. I hear about both sides vegan/carni healing different things so it's always interesting to follow the stories
I so so enjoy your videos. Articulate, sharp and no nonsense….keep it up, this planet needs people who care, it’s as simple as that…..people that “care” we’ve been poisoned for years now. But people need to take responsibility and take action……
I started Omad in November 2019 after watching Dr Jason Fung speak on this. I was 210 lbs, my bp was 155/90 on medication, my a1c was 7.9. My doctor was going to give me higher dose of metformin and add another bp pill! Since, I fast 22 hours a day and eat once between 5-7 pm. Today August 5th, 2021 I am 180 lbs, A1C 6.2, bp 127/70 and my bp medication atenolol was cut from 10 mg to 5. It’s not MORE medication…we eat too much. Way more than necessary. I feel better every day. I’m planning a 36 hour fast. This doctor is amazing.
@@georgelopez2184 yes, I started Omad 11/19 I’m still 185 stagnant weight for a year and although metabolic numbers were dropping…rheumatoid arthritis, liver inflammation, blood pressure, A1C , cholesterol….when I ask about reducing meds I’m told… I don’t have a problem if you want to experiment with small reduction of bp med. And statin. But won’t initiate it. Cuz my numbers are at goal. Instead of seeing my doc once a year I know go every 4 months for 15 mins. I recently said to myself…you must have good insurance. Maybe a preventative thing.
Thank you Doctor, I've also learned so much about IR from Dr. Ford Brewer here on YT. Now if only our Family Doctors would understand what's really killing us via Heart Attacks and Strokes.
Hey John This is Bart from South Jersey I recognize your name from doctor Brewer's Channel. I just stumbled upon this doctor's channel and he explained stuff very good And easy to understand!
I fall asleep during the day, like a switch turning off mid use. I pee excessively during the night. My skin is getting a bit rashy in certain spots. I have an itchy butt and chronic fatigue constantly. I have aches and pains in my joints and I can't use the gym too much and it takes ages for my muscles to recover. I realise I'm not a spring chicken anymore but I've went from a 100 to almost 0 in performance in almost everything. I was about to give up hope. This gentleman has given me some semblance of a roadmap back from this. I will be forever grateful to him. Salute Dr Jamnadas.
I love you information Dr and please keep it coming. Dr's want to put all patients(customers) on a pharma medication to keep them coming back for life. I agree that eating and drinking right can affect most health issues including cancer. So glad I found your site.
Does that mean cherries it’s the season for them ! I’ve cut out all processed foods desserts etc I eat now meat , big salads and broccoli , carrots all of that lol no oils only olive oil on salad. 👍👍👍feeling much better since I cut out all that stuff.
I’m in the same dilemma as you - I love the summer fruits but know they will cause big spikes in my blood glucose. I’ve been doing challenge tests on myself ie. registering my blood glucose before eating say blueberries or strawberries, then 1/2 hr; 1hr; 2hr after eating to establish the peak (one test for each fruit on separate days). It allows you to pick the fruit that spikes your blood glucose the least but only if you eat an occasional small volume of each fruit. I also eat my fruit after a meat and veg dinner to slow down the absorption. Try this out with your cherries using your glucometer to see how it effects your blood glucose. Hope this helps. I’m 72yrs old and I’ve not been diagnosed with T2D but I am definitely experiencing insulin resistance so follow a Keto diet + 18/6 IF. Hope this helps. Check out Beat Diabetes channel for tips on doing these challenge tests.
I’ve been on OMAD for years now. My problem is that I was eating 4 to 5 différents fruits on a daily basis. I didn’t know fructose was so bad, even worse than glucose. I am going to reduce my fruit intake and go for a seasonal fruit a day and skip days sometimes. Thanks for your advice Dr, much appreciated. Keep it up!
I had never heard about insulin resistance, until I started finding out how to help by sugar levels! My doctor took my blood sugar level, told me I was a diabetic, put me on medformin, I’m angry, because these doctors, none of them told me what to do to help! My family members got tested, told we was a diabetic, and put on insulin, and medformin! I feel like someone should be sued, for malpractice!
Same here. My doctor said I was pre-diabetic and put me on Metformin. Mu A1C was 6.1. He doubled my Metformin to 2-500 mg tablet/day. I thought “no way”, and I took 1-500 mg tablet every other day. My A1C the next test was 5.7. Dr. J. Is telling me about insulin resistance and how to get rid of my belly fat. I finally have some hope.
@@jagman1209 good morning ! I just read your reply! I’m scared to stand -up to the diabetes Association, and the big Phrmarcy companies! I have heard some people go missing! But I feel God is calling to to stand - up For so many other people! Because I was didn’t know that diabetes cause so many other Heath problems! It’s a serious problem! I’m really studying on insulin resistance! It’s a shame , I have to try to be my own research Doctor! But that’s ok, because I don’t want to ever except a lie from the medical people anymore about what is dieabetes is! It’s wrong how we only get 5 minutes in a doctors off! I’m ok with that also, because I have lost my dear sister to diabetes ! She was on insulin, and she never new what insulin resistance was , and so do millions and millions! And millions of Americans don’t know! It has to stop! May the Lord be with you! And the force be with us! We must paved the way for future generations! And save our love ones, from not knowing the truth!
@@christinastephens5792 no need to call…. Drs on RU-vid giving excellent info for free. Either low carb (Keto, paleo) or whole food plant based. Add intermittent fasting to either and you’ll feel great. I personally do a “nutratarian” diet with awesome results with my type 2 diabetes. Lookup Dr Joel Fuhrman on RU-vid
For my body, any protein in meat form causes kidney pain, I was told the protein molecule is too large to filter by my kidneys, I morphed into being a vegetarian for many reasons, pain, being one of the reasons from the American diet! I don't eat dairy, nuts, or high protein foods or supplements, as long as I do this, I have no pain.
Love this Dr.who exexplains so good on hormonal changes particularly Insulin...and related topics excellent advise and lovely RU-vid videos on diet,fasting ,Chd.revarsals so on.wish I knew him before Corona pandemic.god bless you and keep you on you tube for ever. Thank god.
I am so grateful for your videos! Quick question. Could/ would you elaborate on the withdrawal symptoms / phenomena of refined foods etc that is briefly mentioned in this video? Thank you!
1. Cut Out Glucose 2. Cut Out Suger | 50% Fructose 50% Glucose | Fructose is the verse for you it's only metabolized in the liver. 3. Cut Out Alcohol 4. Vegetable Seed Oil 5. Avoid Processed Food + Processed Carb
I believe Tom you have seen what I see is that huge money has been driving what Doctors often prescribe ( Drug companies) rather that what is best for us.
I don't think it's big pgarma money but more of seeing dozens of patients and following a standard response to patients based on their issue, symptoms. Even worked with PA doing alot of work today
@@gregcurrie4661 It's also the food industry and Ag industry which makes a lot of money from industrial foods and industrial farming methods, foods that are processed, cheap, have long shelf life, but little to no nutritional value which are actually harmful to the human body. Dr. Mark Hayman actual talks about this on Lewis Howe's podcast.
I am not saying he is not right. However, not all cases are the same. All of my conscious life, I have avoided excess sugars in any form presented consumption, minimally processed foods I hate sandwiches, jams, hot dogs, etc. I avoid white bread. I must admit that I love sweetbreads and I have used vegetable oils, but very minimally because I have never been fat and avoided excess fats. I also eat small portions and skip many meals (no buying Mcdonals too much either). My liver is good and so are my kidneys. In my resume, I avoid at least 80% of these products. I always knew they were not good for health more now that I am a nurse. I do not smoke do not drink alcohol only on a few occasions a glass of wine. I am prediabetic, and I am confused. I am now practically eliminating most carbs, intermittent fasting, eliminating my favorite fruit, bananas, and exercising like a competence. in hope of reversing it. Wish me luck.
You're becoming my hero. I cringe when I hear about all these people taking ozembic or monjuaro to lose weight. What happens to their pancreas, liver and hormone balance?
Hi Doc I have been following your videos and now a big fan as well. I was following mostly the video on fasting and insulin and diabetes. Lot of cool Information and following some of the them to the T!! ThankYou very much for sharing an awesome amount medical knowledge with us.
I wish you could do a talk on hypothyroidism as this has a huge impact on the body causing slow metabolism and weight gain , high cholesterol and much more , I hate taking statins but my none working thyroid causes high cholesterol and if my thyroid hormones aren’t right my cholesterol is high , it gets very complex when dealing with doctors who have little knowledge of thyroid conditions . I totally agree with you on cholesterol and sugar , but I would welcome advice or a video on sugar, cholesterol with hypothyroidism.
Doctory thank you so much. I am a doctor myself and this is so informative. Can you please share your diet details. I am Indian so please share the Indian food that you eat.
If I'm hearing you correctly we are not supposed to eat natural fruit at all? Just 1 fruit is about 80-110 calories and you said just to eat only 1 per day. What is our diet supposed to consist of then?
your explanation is right but when you are exposed to sufficient amount of sunlight which help increase absorption of complex molecules by breaking into simpler molecules and absorb directly into blood without converting into fats ,and other substances and why doctors dont recommend sufficient amount of vitamin d and walking to reduces the risk of insulin resistance by increase the absorption of food we in take
Sounds like a lifestyle change. God designed us to be outside and he made many fruit trees but they had fiber, and self control not to eat the whole tree, and we were not supposed to be overworked rats - making us susceptible to over eating
Great Video! Sorry for chiming in, I would love your thoughts. Have you heard the talk about - Damykrotia Natural Skin Magic (just google it)? It is a smashing one off product for reversing insulin resistance and diabetes minus the normal expense. Ive heard some incredible things about it and my close friend Aubrey finally got cool success with it.
@@chad7789 Just consider the saying that " you get healthy to lose weight ", you don't lose weight to get healthy. If losing weight is not necessary, then the getting healthy part still applies. You simply don't have to go crazy like overweight folks do. Feel blessed that you maybe just should fast to " get healthy only ", but not to lose weight.
@@borg386 but wouldn't fasting on any level cause weight loss? I mean im already down to 30 carbs a day which has NOT improved fasting glucose. 97-105, and I'm riding my bike 3 miles a day. I eat low carb meals my numbers after I eat go to 130ish then down a little 126ish and stay above 120 for a couple of hours unless I ride. Drives me nuts!
What if I’m eating omad, no sugar of ANY kind, 100% Whole Foods, 70% fat, 20% protein, 10% carbs, walk 7 days per week, and STILL have high blood cortisol, and do not have Cushing’s?
Doctor Jamnadas I agree with you 100% the problem is how to ignore strong cravings for ice cream and cake and chocolate. I do have a strong will power, but still... not easy at all. Please do give us some advice on how to cope with desire for sweets etc. Greetings from Melissa from Italy and compliments for the great content of your videos 👍🏻 🍀☀️🕊️
Do not buy and store it in your fridge. Everyone in the house should agree to it and not make these sweets part of your daily diet. Start seeing them as a once-off treat. If you really feel like it, go out and eat it, but never bring it home. Avoid eating places, food section in malls, where these products are exclusively sold. Good restaurants generally limit these products and their portion sizes are also small. Also note that if you stop eating refined carbs, your craving for these products will also diminish over time.
Pray for balance & self control 😂 replace your cravings with more healthier options. But don't totally omit what you like because you will be likely to binge
I'm a simple layman who switched to living in ketosis and rid myself of all comorbidities. I eat once a day and stay well hydrated with filtered water. I also take all the supplements recommended for viruses and keep a prophylaxis if necessary. Other than that I live in the present and stay out of the rat race. I went from 240 to 170 lbs. since the covid hysteria began. I'm 57 and have never been happier, more energetic or healthier in my life and still go on occasional trips without leaving my homestead.
Dearest Dr. I have gotten rid off sugar extra salt no carbs bread roti rice pasta flour meat fish. I use tofu an egg once per month salads no juices no junk the odd time 1 little Sq off dark chocolate I drink water water and more water coffee teas with skin milk. Little to no cheese once a month. I do intermittent fasting 48-72 hours water fast. And I eat 1-2 meals per day very small amounts in a small bread plate. 1st meal is at 12 pm 2 bd meal is 6-6.30 pm. I have lost 65 lbs. down to 109 lbs. but my diabetes is still there how do I get rid of the diabetes. I want to reach 100 lbs. I walk daily 2 to 4 kilometres per day some yoga little weights and exercise bike 15 minutes. I feel great but the diabetes is also still with me. Thank you very much. I do the time restricted eating.
