Dr. Bikman explains a fundamental yet often misunderstood aspect of human nutrition: the concept of essential nutrients. He clarifies that while essential amino acids and fatty acids must be obtained through diet for health and survival, there are no essential carbohydrates. Despite the necessity of blood glucose for certain cells, like red blood cells, he emphasizes that the body does not require dietary carbohydrates to maintain glucose levels. Instead, the liver efficiently produces glucose from various sources, particularly lactate produced by working muscles, thus negating the need for dietary carbohydrate intake to sustain blood glucose.

I want to shout this message out to the world from the rooftop@! My family refuses to listen to this even though they see the AMAZING transformation in me, their MOM, Grandmother, great grandmother. I feel 30 again, have more energy than any of them and NO adverse health issues. My B/P runs 116/68, no arthritis pain any more, all terrific labs. I do not eat carbohydrates because thats what works best for ME. THANK YOU for all your info

So if you take lactate, say in magnesium lactate, will it support gluconeogenesis or raise glucose levels.

@isidorochannel 14 дней назад

Question though, for clarification: lactate is always mentioned among the gluconeogenic precursors, however doesn't lactate itself come from glucose and glycogen? If so this looks like circular reasoning to me, and the actual source of that glucose always comes down to the amino acids and glycerol from the food that we're eating. Correct?

@zzc8505 14 дней назад

it's not a "circular reasoning." It's recycling: our body recycles a number of things, including this

@Johnwoodard. You are cycling in and out on carbs? Are you trying to maintain a certain level of diabetes ? If so why? What benefit do you achieve by BEING diabetic? I sometimes ,( only if appropriate time and person), will hear someone mention that they have diabetes, I always ask them why they want to be diabetic, and what did they say when their doctor diagnosed them and told them they didn't have to be diabetic, that they could reverse it! This of course gets a puzzled look and usually the answer they give is," oh you can't reverse duabetes", which is a GREAT CONVERSATION STARTER!!

@recipesforahealthylife 13 дней назад

This is a very good question, I'm interested too.

@johnwoodard8717 14 дней назад

So Riddle me this: I'm a cyclist. I don't race, I cycle for health. However, even when I'm riding in Zone 2 right around FatMax, I'm burning glucose, and if I'm outdoors, I'm running into situations where I need to go farther into 3 or even 4, and I'm burning through my glucose stores heavily (such as hills, or having to sprint for a stoplight, or even a fast acceleration after a stoplight so the cars don't get mad and run me over).. Before I was low carb due to Type 2 diabetes, I would eat carbs on the bike to replenish those stores and avoid bonking. So now what do I do? Even if the bonk takes longer because I'm fat adapted, it's definitely coming at some point, especially if I'm riding a century (which is coming up in a few months). Is it then necessary and/or desirable to eat carbohydrates to keep the glucose levels from bottoming out? I presume the liver has no chance of keeping up. This is an honest question; fueling on the bike is essential after about 90 minutes to 2 hours, but I'm not sure how I should go about it.

@greyglider6229 14 дней назад

Thanks for posing that question,, because I have the same problem (not a cyclist but a cross country skier) I hope Dr. Bickman can address this common concern. I also hope he might comment on heart rate differences during exercise on different dietary regimes (carb loaded vs low carb), or perhaps someone knows a good reference.

@brendawolszleger4895 14 дней назад

easy ! if you are truly fat adapted , then all u need to do is carb up every 3rd or 4th day ! only one high carb meal at suppertime ! about 100- 150 grams of carbs is enough ! long spaghetti with ground beef is a perfect meal . so about 3 - 3 1/2 cups of pasta with sauce and about 200 grams of ground beef ! you need to try it every 4th day first and see if its enough ! your body should store it in muscles and only use it when it your intensity increases ! if that's not enough , then eat that meal every 3rd day at suppertime ! it depends on how much biking your doing ! this is what vince gironda taught ! hope it helps .

Dr Chaffe just interviewed a lady that ran a marathon zero carbs. Then ran one every month for 3 months no carbs. Might interest you.

@johnwoodard8717 13 дней назад

@@brendawolszleger4895 The trouble with that is the muscles can only store enough glucose for about 90 minutes of moderate exercise. 90 minutes isn't a very long bike ride, and if you're doing a lot of climbing you'll burn through that glucose really, really quickly, then you bonk (ask me how I know). No amount of being fat adapted will keep that from happening.

@johnwoodard8717 13 дней назад

@@mariettr125 The issue with Chaffe is that he goes into the stories of these people, then starts pontificating about society and diet, but never goes into the science. Yes, I know about the two different energy sources for ATP, and how fat is more plentiful than glucose, but he never seems to explain how you can get to where you can burn fat fast enough to replace the need for glucose, which is the central issue. He's like "See, these athletes did this!" but never how other than scratching the surface, which doesn't help me all that much.

@oldglstuf 14 дней назад

Not necessary, but is 0 carb optimal for everyone or even most? That's the interesting question now IMO.

@onlyonecai 14 дней назад

That’s out of question. Zero carb IS optimal for everyone. Glucose is mostly a building material from plants and for plants (and primitive systems), and it is only an alternative fuel source to fat and it can only be used for energy (unlike fats which are also building blocks) while causing havoc in your body. Glycation, insulin spikes etc. The liver is more than capable of handling the little bit for nervous cells and red blood cells

Consider the species of bovines which are vastly more diverse than humans, or like others said that Human is just one species after all, it is not an exaggeration. From biochemistry perspective, we don't have any single process that could be benefit from large enough amount of glucose that require exogenous carbs. No one is diverse enough to have a separate metabolic mechanisms to handle them efficiently. You'd need to be your own species at least

Are lactate, lactic acid the same?

@luisv007 День назад

@@60PlusFitnessJourneywhat he said was lactate, not lactic acid. They are the same; lactate is lactic acid except for one proton. Basic chemistry taught in secondary school. What he spoke about was very short-sighted; about the role of carbs in human nutrition. Carb foods provide more than just carbs, you have vitamins, minerals and fibre - soluble, insoluble and resistant starch. Carnivore diet lacks carbs and fibre, and therefore changing the gut microbiome with greater risk of dietary diseases such as bowel cancer. The keto diet has limitations just like anything else. The metabolic pathways in the human body is centred around carbs, e.g. production of non-essential amino acids and the production and utilisation of fats.

Of course if you want to avoid hypoglycemia and cortisol production…

@YetAnotherCarnivore 14 дней назад

Well, for starters, you won't get hypoglycemia if you're not injecting insulin. You can not prevent the production cortisol it is a very necessary and misunderstood hormone. You just need to control your lifestyle so it's produced when it is necessary. Don't drink caffeine and eat a high fat carnivore diet. Insulin will be low, and ketones will take over the majority of energy demand, leaving less need for glucose, resulting in proper hormone production at the right times.

@isidorochannel 14 дней назад

Can you form a complete sentence so we understand what you're trying to say? If you are suggesting that low carb will lead you to hypoglycemia, that would show complete ignorance on the subject. In fact many (healthy) people even report that their fasting blood sugar actually gets higher.

Tell us about the difference between essential and optimal. Some low carbers constantly say carbs are not "essential" meanwhile their gluconeogenesis is in overdrive and their body is saying "ya know a few carbs would really help me right now" but their mind is replying "nope, no carbs for you, what's optimal doesn't matter, just what's essential and carbs are not essential"

@isidorochannel 14 дней назад

"Gluconeogenesis is in overdrive and their body is saying 'ya know a few carbs would help me'", wow very scientific statements you got there. How do you know that? Are their bodies talking to you personally?

@zzc8505 14 дней назад

you need to listen again, maybe to some other vids by Dr. B and some other people. The whole point is gluconeogenesis can provide all the carbs your body needs (it can't be in "overdrive" - what does that even mean in this context). If you eat enough animal protein and fat, and maintain an active lifestyle, there isn't really any need for exogenous carbs. There is a possibility you could use some if you are a professional athlete who exercises 4-6 hrs per day 6 days a week, but for an average healthy, active person carbs aren't truly needed.
