Professor Roy Taylor - What predicts drug-free type 2 diabetes remission?  

What did u eat and u have the odd naughty foods?

That's great and you're lucky. I was called a quack and told basically to get lost by the forum members of the American diabetes society, in 2012, when I told them these facts. Even when I showed them it was published in their own journal not 1 said anything positive. I wonder how many have died and gone blind etc by not understanding these studies.

​​@@jameshunt7884 Odd (naughty) foods??? I never knew foods were naughty 😳

Hi sir you still take medicine for diabetis to take down reading hba1c?

In August 2023 the GP asked me to stop taking Gliclazide and after my blood test in November I expect she'll stop my Metformin.

Dose your beta cells die and is eating flax seeds and hemp seeds oky

The sad thing is that we've been scared away from fat, which is the most inert/safest macronutrient to eat. Our body typically uses 12% protein, 25% carbohydrate, with the balance from fat, and our digestive system is such that we ought to eat close to what the body uses and therefore needs. Societally we eat a country mile from what the body actually wants, and we keep being advised to eat too much carbohydrate, or at the other extreme, too much protein.

@@Starbreaker2012But it is not. Unsaturated fat is indeed fine. Saturated fats are a problem. Peer reviewed, randomised control studies consistently show that eating large amounts of saturated fats gives higher risk of cardiovascular disease compared to eating unsaturated fat. Thus, similar to carbohydrates, the type very much matters. Avoid transfats, limit saturated fats, eat unsaturated fats. What foods contain these can be found on Google.

It's not for you then eh? Interesting though that the control group got eight times more cancer diagnosis than the group on the shakes. Makes you wonder that being overweight for all those extra months may have kick started a cancer cell no?

@@trotskyite1 insulin drives anabolic metabolism while down regulating DNA surveillance and repair while also down regulating removal of damaged proteins. Something like 70% or so of cancers include at least one mutation in the insulin pathway. No wonder, then, that pre-diabetes and diabetes increase the risk for cancer by 800%. Cutting the carbs cuts the blood sugar, cuts the insulin, cuts the chronic anabolic state, and let's your body not just burn off ectopic fat, but also increase DNA quality control and routine cellular cleanup, among other things. Whether by going very low calorie (Taylor) or just very low carb but normal calorie (Unwin) or zero carb (Saladino) or systematic fasting (Fung) the central mechanism is the same: lower insulin secretion in response to dietary carbohydrate load. A pleasant side benefit is significant weight loss for those who are overweight. Win win, whichever strategy you find most enjoyable and most sustainable as a lifestyle.

@@trotskyite1 It's amazing that obesity causes cancer. I'm not sure when the discovery was made but I believe it was in the past 20 years. That is a very important discovery because it's huge push back on doctors speaking to patients, insinuating there's nothing that can be done. There's a huge amount that can be done.

@@trotskyite1 I used google AI and it says: "The World Health Organization (WHO) likely recognized obesity as a cancer risk factor in a publication around 1997. Here's why: In 1997, WHO published a document titled "Obesity: Preventing and Managing the Global Epidemic" which stated obesity as a serious chronic disease [World Obesity]. This document was a groundbreaking recognition of obesity as a disease and likely addressed its health risks, including cancer.

How did it work out

@@savagestation7153 Works great. Lose weight by any means, carbs are secondary.

He just can;t stop banging his "starvation is good" drum and hence about 70% of the people in these trials fail.

Way to not understand anything that was said 😂

​@@bulkbiker100% fail in normal diet trials. While keto diet advocates remain fat and podgy after years unless on peds

Fat is the culprit and cutting fat / getting lean is the solution. Dr. Taylor explained it in detail.

@@jajajajaja357 correct: carb-induced fatty liver and fatty pancreas are the central problem. Letting your body burn off that dysfunctional fat is definitely the solution, which can be accomplished either by cutting carbs as part of a low calorie diet, or, cutting carbs as part of a full-calorie ketogenic diet. Each patient can choose the option they prefer, which is nice.

300g of rib eye a day?

@@trotskyite1 about 790g ribeye for about a 2000kcal requirement. (1.75lbs in US). More simply, most people who go this route simply eat to satiety. Most mix up their food choices - virtually any combination of fatty animal food can work. Beef, lamb, pork, duck, mackerel, salmon, char, eggs (duck eggs esp), etc etc etc. Great variety for those who like variation. This is one of the fascinating things about keto and carnivore: you can eat a normal diet quantity-wise and gain all of the benefits of an 800kcal diet in way that's sustainable and pleasurable. The 800kcal diet with shakes is there for people who enjoy it. Another means of reaching your goals in your own way based on your own preferences and tastes. Based on your nickname, I'm guessing you are an advocate for personalized health strategies rather than one-size-fits-all dictat. Good luck on your health journey!

Obviously not you've just heard how thousand have done so on a shake diet

@@trotskyite1 They were not satiated at all.

@@darkfieldcarnivore3928 They actually were, and you can see that by other interviews where he explains that people dindn't felt extree hunger after a period of 36 hours on this very low caloric diet. It's just a matter of getting used to it. So, maybe you should forget this insanity: the whole idea was to cut excess calories, wich are mostrly found in animal fat.

@Dmplivemail "never felt extreme hunger" lol.

How u doing now days

Top effort roy Taylor
