I love: „People are taking medication to treat the foods they eat“. This is mindblowing. What a wise and humble man at the same time. This doctor is a real one, and he loves his patients. Big big heart😍
I've had Hidradenitis suppurativa a nasty disease, eszema, snoring, bad odor, loss of hair and after going keto EVERYTHING was gone and my hair began to comeback and only after 4 days ,i cried after so much because i've battle for 37 years, so all my life, and KETO SAVED MY LIFE, I've never been more in control of my body and my mind as never as been clearer
No offense but you sound like a dinovita commercial. ( A commercial that says their product cure people's stinky shedding dogs) my comment is ment in the spirit of friendship. I too have been helped greatly by this diet.😄
Most doctors follow the guidelines given to them by the american heart association, failing to do that may put doctors in jeopardy. Guidelines need to change. Those who put these guidelines and the industry behind it need to be judged
I just discovered this man! Have been listening to and following Dr Jason Fung.. also an amazing educator - Oh how I wish everyone had a doctor like this fine man … how different our world would be… an independent thinker. How logical and kindly he explains! ❤️keep up the great work!!
It's such a racket, and at the expense of insurance rate payers and tax payers! But the eaters themselves defend literally to the death the right to ingest food-like drugs.
When I moved to northeastern CA, I became friends with an old Arkie with the 4th grade education and he had a better vocabulary than the kids I cleaned up after in the high school I worked at. He could fix anything mechanical or electronic. He helped teach me how to work on my truck ( brakes, points, Ujoints, etc.). And his brother was similar but had designed nuclear power plants. So the education of children decades ago was better quality than today.
Feeling so far in The weeds with the keto diet and intermittent fasting. Do this, don’t do that. I needed something simple. This is simple and to the point. Thanks!
@Tracy Ocepek Simple eat meats, fish , eggs and dairy ( fermented dairy is the best ) Have some leafy greens to hold your butter ! Skip all grains , potatoes, fruits and added sugars! Above all see what works for you . No one diet size fits all !
@Tracy Ocepek I used to have a problem with dairy . About two years ago I got food poisoning and after that dairy is no problem but fruits are a big problem.
Not exactly this theatre, but I’m a spinal cord injured guy. C3/4, so I’m pretty much paralysed from my shoulders down. Mobility is pretty much zero. I’ve been on a diet as mentioned in this video, i’ve lost 3 stone 13 pounds. No exercise, I can’t.... its been three years and I’m 52 now, injured at 18.
Yes! Please make a video! Its easy -- and you would inspire so many people in a similar situation to take charge of their weight and health!!! You could save lives!!!!
I've been on keto diet (OMAD) for 4 months. I lost 38 pounds. Blood work has vastly improved. No more pre diabetic. and after 25 years on 137mcg of Synthroid my doctor cut my dosage in half!!!
Greetings...I see your comment was 12 months ago. I'm kindly asking how is your health today, and any changes you have made in your Nutrition journey? Thank you.
Such a great job Dr. Westman,,,loved your class!! Going on keto almost 2 years now!! Never going back!! Such great information done in such a great way. Agree with everything you stated 100 percent!!
Page 4 - and excellent presentation! They need to teach this to kids & spread it around the world. Life changing and Dr Weltman makes it so easy to understand! ❤️
Hello to Dr. W from NC. What an imaginative and entertaining way to explain the LCHF diet and some of the science behind it. Thank you for your endless work to get us healthy and wise!
That was "easy to digest" version of keto diet - though I still think we should avoid processed foods and vegetable oils, even if they don't have carbs, plus limit the number of meals (no snacking)
In the Keto diet, you do eliminate processed foods and vegetable oils. As far as number of meals, most people end up eating 2 meals a day since high fat consumption make you feel full.
I agree big time but I think the intent was to make such a drastic change for people who are so sick they are fighting for their life as simple as possible. When the emergency subsides then they can fine tune.
Exactly - it does matter how you cook food and cooking with vegetable oils is seriously dangerous ... probably the main thing that goes wrong with people doing Aitkins.
Instead of artificial sweeteners, there are brands of stevia and stevia extract that can be used to lightly sweeten foods without adding calories. Aspartame is a neurotoxin. Other artifiical sweeteners have other unwanted effects. Stevia has no side effects that I know of. The better brands do not taste exactly like sugar, but are pretty close when incorporated with other flavors. Like all non-sugar sweeteners, they may spike insulin in some people. However, Dr. Westeman probably has more experience on helping people to loose excess weight on LCHF diets than anyone else on Earth, so stevia seems worth trying- instead of giving into sugar cravings by eating sugar.
I had a bad shock lately when i saw what that Stevia extract was corried on. Every artificial sweetener i could think of. and the liquide extract was on Fructose. Facepalm moment for me. I am using the dried leaves now. Much better.
I went on Diet Doctor for 2 weeks and lost plus reversed my cholestrol issues. So Now I am following it with I. fasting . Checking out the websites available for free that Dr. Westman stated.
The beauty of bacon is, it goes with anything. With seafoods like oysters and mussels, salmon and liver and steak. With Sausages and eggs and beans although you shoudn't eat the baked beans but just a few might not hurt. There's sugar in baked beans.
I know! 😑 I do count the carbs! I love Golden Flake Sweet Heat. The whole bag may have 4 to 6 carbs. I typically buy the Salt & Vinegar flavor which has zero carbs. I will pay attention to my weightloss and limit the ones that have sugar.
everyone, just be careful, grapefruit is not exactly keto friendly at 22 grams per fruit. a handful of berries (strawberries, raspberries, blackberries, blueberries) is the way to go at roughly 5 grams. other than that, page 4 looks pretty decent.
On jerkey, beef or otherwise - In the U.S.A., most commercially available jerky has quite a bit of added sugar. READ THE LABEL. This is done partly for the same reason that sugar, in one form or another, is added to virtually all processed foods- to get us to eat more. It is also used as a preservative, to allow the jerky to be softer and higher in moisture, without a bunch of chemical preservatives. The sugar content of some brands is so high that the jerky actually tastes sweet (at least to those who have removed processed and restaurant foods from their diets; many restaurants add sugar to a lot of foods, not just desserts). One brand of bacon jerky we now call 'dessert bacon'. It tastes disgusting. It is far healthier to eat drier jerky, allowing it to soften in the mouth, than to eat softer jerky with sugar, or other preservatives. We can make our own at home (search CZcams for directions; it is not difficult!). And we can contact the jerky manufacturers and let them know we want zero added sugars or other carbs in our jerky!
Remember this was an example of a first introduction to low carb diets, and overcoming patients anxieties and oppositions to it so they have a greater chance of starting the diet.
Over time, for most people, eating a very low carb and high fat diet allows them to stop worrying about calories BECAUSE the fat and protein signal the body to stop eating when it has what it needs. Sugar, starch, and other additives like monosodium glutamate (MSG) override our bodies' natural ability to regulate how much we eat. So hopefully one day you will not have to worry about counting calories, but in the end, whatever works for you works!
Amy Berger works with Dr Westman at times - she has a Keto and thyroid video and refers to Westman’s keto advice frequently. The channel is adapt your life. She’s also on tuit nutrition channel
The diabetes issue being separate, If this way of eating cuts hunger and thus a person eats less, then isn't the weight loss really abut the calories after all?
Belinda Ray partly but not completely. Increased insulin tells the body to store fat. Lowering insulin triggers the body to burn excess fat. When the body sees it has surplus it will shut off appetite. I lost about 15lbs initially without restricting calories because I wanted to keep calories up to lift heavy in the gym. I practically had to force feed myself.
I have been following a low carb diet for one year and lost 60 pounds. I’m pretty much at the weight I should be and plan to eat this way forever but how do you stop losing weight. Should I start to add carbs? I’m not diabetic.
Dr Westman’s book describes phase 1 (the equivalent of “page 4” in this presentation), phase 2, and phase 3. You start on phase 1. After you reach your goals (In your case the weight loss you have enjoyed) then you can transition to phase 2. It relaxes the strictness of how much carbohydrate you can have per day. After you have been on phase 2 for awhile, and if everything is going great still, you can transition to phase 3. Phase three relaxes the carbohydrate restrictions even more. It is only for people who are already healthy and doing great or have achieved a state of good health by first following phase 1, then phase 2. If you find you are starting to have problems again after changing to phase 3 or phase 2, go back down to phase you were on while everything was great. I suggest you get his book. You sound ready to advance to the next phase.
His book is called “end your carb confusion”. There are both hard copy, and electronic (like kindle) versions of it. Also there is an audio version on audible. I don’t get a commission for recommending his book, but I have it and I think it is very helpful. It is intentionally written to be very simple to follow. It’s not complex at all. I sincerely hope for the best for you. Sounds like you’ ve already been doing great! I hope you have a healthy and enjoyable life!
Keep researching and experimenting what works for you bc when you calculate your macros you don't have to reach the fat #, The less dietary fat you have the more fat your body will burn from stores. Consuming the fat helps with satiety. Ex..my #is 160g a day..im satisfied at about 120g-130g the difference my body may need for the day comes off my bum ☺...Good luck
He forgot the deep fried foods are now fried in PUFA oils which are not so good. When I worked in BK they used hydrogenated cotton seed oil. Now I know that is bad not just for the PUFA but also for the high levels of herbicides and pesticides. Of they used tallow, that would be fine, but I don't think anyone uses tallow anymore.
careful, that list is a bit off on somethings. grapefruit is NOT really keto friendly. half of one has like 11 grams of carbs. berries are ur fruit friend, and even those should be limited to a small handful a day.
Royston Clark the nhs has just changed its policy and now recommends a low carb diet for type 2 diabetics. Your doctor should find out from national institute of clinical excellence. All the best.
Robert Jones yes and no. I've been doing a brisk walk 5 days a week and it has absolutely accelerated my weight loss and has improved my feeling of well being as I was pretty much house bound. 🤗
@@paulhocking9694 It might have improved how you feel but the weight loss is minimal thru exercise. You also improved your cardio and bone or muscle tone for sure.
vegans are idiots well why do people go to the gym and do cardio and the machine shows how many calories they have burned? Genuine question not trying to be argumentive. I'm 62 years old, female, and haven't exercised for 20 years. I'm obese and have T2 diabetes. Any advice is appreciated. Doing pretty good on Keto. ❤️
"I'm not having carbonation" is funny, but I think it also reveals how our minds trick ourselves. You are a doctor, high position, esteemed, well paid. You don't have to spend as much effort as someone lower down the social hierarchy explaining to yourself 'that everything is really okay.' I'm an annoying guy, but trust me, when I went out to dinner with the family I would be put on the spot, why don't you drink? why don't you want to eat the sausage? why do you exercise so much? why aren't you this or that? My students think I'm flat out lying because they can't imagine an adult who doesn't either drink alcohol or smoke weed. She wants to change, but probably almost everyone in her life just wants her to do what they do, what she's always done. Me? I'm annoying, I will say to my family, students, friends, "No, thanks," and I will pay, and have paid, a steep social cost. (They don't want us to be diabetics who have strokes and heart attacks, but they also don't want us doing anything that might challenge what they've always done. ) I'm transitioning to a LCHF diet, so I'm still eating some of this and that, but I'm doing daily 16 hour fasts, and they're not that difficult, and I have keto mouth, so I'm onboard. But I found some videos that say eating canola oil is bad, okay. Olive oil, not much better--really? I accept what I've learned about LCHF because I've done some of it and it clearly works, and the videos I've seen and articles I've read make sense . But the people talking about the oils, they titter in a way that reminds me of group-think, (like cults). I don't think LCHF is a fad or a cult, but the people talking about the oils have three problems: first, they show that as meat consumption when down, diabetes went up (and they titter), that's correlation is not causation, second, they mention all the terrible things that happen to oil when it's processed and heated up. Well, a barbecue is basically a fractionating tower at a refinery--and they never say don't burn your meat. And third, they don't offer clear alternatives, except red meat and lard. Butter, I already understand. So the lady who's cut out the soda but is still drinking orange juice, give her an alternative. Butter tea? I remember reading about Tibetans drinking bitter greasy butter tea. Sounded awful. I was in Yunnan Province in China, I'd just done a twenty mile hike, very little food. I arrived back in Lijiang and thought I'll try the Tibetan restaurant Mama Lus. Butter tea? Sure, I'll try it. It was terrific. I'll bet if you tell that nice lady, I want you to drink one of three things: water, butter coffee or butter tea-- that's it. Then send her home with a recipe for butter tea/coffee. Tell her to make a cup as soon as she gets home. She will never even look at another soda and she'll serve it to her family and friends. No doesn't work. Our brains under stress only hear positives: give her a 'yes' and she'll do it.
I'm not a medical expert, but if you are skin, your body won't get too thin on this eating plan. Lots of slim people and professional athletes eat a ketogenic diet, they eat it to be healthy and to improve their athletic abilities.
Do you know Eric Westman's name is spelled wrong on your opening screen?!? It's ERIC WESTMAN (not Erik)! I wanted to recommend this video to my diabetic friends, but I will NOT share a video with such an egregious misspelling!
I have stage 2 nsclc and severe microscopic colitis and rampant candida. I’m trying to Gain weight not lose. How can I gain weight on the Keto or Paleo diet. Down to 88.5 from 115. No dr has helped me. Please if you have information regarding post a reply..
Yvonne Norton ketogenic diet is a fat burning diet not weight loss diet (unless someone has excess fat stored). You would need to eat adequate protein for building muscle which is the kind of weight you really want to gain. Then eat as much dietary fat as you need for energy.
I think maybe part of that is also because if you are trying to lose weight, it is high in fat plus some people can't tolerate a lot of dairy. Hope that helps!
Your gut Flora changes to one that may not be dairy friendly. Happened to me caused constipation. Eliminated dairy constipation got better. Just now trying an A2 dairy to see if I can handle it. A2 goat or sheep cheese.
It's too bad it has to get to the point at which people need such a drastic intervention. I don't have diabetes nor even pre-diabetes but I have cut nearly all sugar and most flour, as well as seed oils and ultra-processed snack foods as I have aged. I have even cut my beloved legumes and whole rye. I guess if I had developed diabetes, I might be sorry for my old indulgences, but the thought of having gone through life never having had sweets, bread, or fruits is a little depressing. Most of the overeating I have done in my life has NOT been when I was hungry. But for the people whose genetics makes them especially susceptible, I'm glad there is a non-prescription remedy. I wish my affected family members were willing to get on board. I know someone will call me a bleeding heart liberal or the like when I say it's sad what pigs have to go through so that a diabetic can eat all the bacon she wants. It is one of the cruelest meat industries out there.
Eleda I have an orange approx 3 times a week, 10g carb., which only leaves me 10g for some greens with my meat for dinner. (I try for OMAD 3-4 days a week). To me it's worth it and even if I have 25 g carb some days, it's not the end of the world. I'm still losing a good amount of weight and bringing my blood sugars down (t2). If we get soooo strict to the point of ridiculous, we will probably chuck it in. 😩. Just be sensible and you will be fine. 🤗
Michael Edwards Yes I understand what you're saying Michael, however, I don't worry if I'm in ketosis or not. I do a less restrictive Keto, a bit more protein and a bit less fat, under 20g carbs most days even with my fruit and I've lost 25 pounds in 3 months and BSL from 10 fasting to 6. Maybe if even stricter I could have lost more but as you said everyone is different. I think I will stay on Keto long term without being so restrictive. I believe in IF which I do, mainly for pancreas healing etc bc I've been uncontrolled diabetic for 20 years eating a crappy diet. Thanks for your point of view. 🤗
@@paulhocking9694 y ou are probably eating calories below your BMR so will still lose weight and improve overall health without going hardcore..well done I know how it feels to see those kilos and HBa1 levels drop- my doctore got a shock after my 4 months of low carb lifestyle- halved my prescription drugs for type 2 diabetes- blood pressure etc, my HbA1 is back to pre diabetic and bordering on normal.after 14 years of type 2 diabetes because i was too stubborn and lazy to do anything about it.
hapeta24 yes I hear you. For twenty years my diabetes has been doing me enormous damage but I wanted all the sugary crap and carbs more than I valued my life. How crazy is that. Well I've been given a second chance and am giving it my all although I don't find Keto easy and after 4 months I still crave all the junk, go figure. Hard to break 62 years of eating that way. 😩. You have done amazing, I love to hear others stories. Thankyou and all the best. 🤗
If you have problems with your stomach and some fool doctor told you that you have a lot of acid in your stomach and recommends some form of stomach acid potion that will lower the acid. You will be in a world of hurt, in fact most of the problems were due to low stomach acid, which means you are not digesting your foods, and you could also possibly have a stomach ulcer, because low stomach acid allows bad bacteria to flourish. Milk of magnesia lowers stomach acid and there are many side effects that are troubling. Not having a go at the Doctor his advice is sound but for me the milk of magnesia would have me on the floor screaming in pain.
Easiest way to get rid of heart burn is the juice of half a Lemon In a glas of water. Drink it and the heart burn will go away. worked for me and i was sceduled for surgery already. 5 years later no more problems. Oh and dont wait with the drinking until your throat hurts. Take it earlier when you first notice the burning.
Toni there are some great easy low carb bread recipes on Pinterest . The on I make is only 1-2g per slice. In West Aust a company is making bread called “fat and seedy loaf”. Delicious toasted and only about 2g carb per slice
@@jetpt1 The trouble is, I have a thing with any carbs. The true keto says you shouldn't even eat a carot or peas so, to me a slice of bread is definately out of the question. It's the sort of thing you can't just have one of, so I wouldn't start it.
Toni sure, everyone is different. The one I make has eggs, almond meal, psyllium husks, apple cider vinegar so follows Keto well. So dense and filling you can’t eat more than one slice, unlike white fluffy bread full of carbs where you can eat half a loaf! I’ve been on Keto 2 years now and healthiest I’ve ever been. All the best on your Keto journey
Toni lots of sites on line. Dr berg is a good one. Depends where you are at with Keto. Dr westman deals with obesity clients so doesn’t do alternatives though he did mention diet jelly and cream if craving desserts. I find it helps people to get into Keto if they know there is a healthy low carb option for bread etc. more likely to stay with it.
Feeling so far in The weeds with the keto diet and intermittent fasting. Do this, don’t do that. I needed something simple. This is simple and to the point. Thanks!

Does you clinic accept new patients? What is number I can call to see if my insurance is accepted please? Do you accept Medicare Supplement patients?
Can you get a 30+ year (type 2) diabetic off insulin pump?
Dr. Jason Fung says yes.
I don’t want to be negative, but calories count for me...for weight loss.. but for lowering blood sugar, A1C, it has dropped from 6.7 to 5.1
Remember this was an example of a first introduction to low carb diets, and overcoming patients anxieties and oppositions to it so they have a greater chance of starting the diet.
Maybe you are in the 30% of the population that has that phenotype that can tolerate more carbohydrates
Over time, for most people, eating a very low carb and high fat diet allows them to stop worrying about calories BECAUSE the fat and protein signal the body to stop eating when it has what it needs.
Sugar, starch, and other additives like monosodium glutamate (MSG) override our bodies' natural ability to regulate how much we eat.
So hopefully one day you will not have to worry about counting calories, but in the end, whatever works for you works!
Is there any literature you folks could point me to regarding keto and Hashimotos?
Amy Berger works with Dr Westman at times - she has a Keto and thyroid video and refers to Westman’s keto advice frequently. The channel is adapt your life. She’s also on tuit nutrition channel
Does anyone know where to get this page 4? Thank you
Get his book "End Your Carb Confusion"!
What about tomatoes?
I am a male,63years lives in india.i have apoE-3/4.if I want to consult you for my lipid profile,what I should do ?
The diabetes issue being separate, If this way of eating cuts hunger and thus a person eats less, then isn't the weight loss really abut the calories after all?
Belinda Ray partly but not completely. Increased insulin tells the body to store fat. Lowering insulin triggers the body to burn excess fat. When the body sees it has surplus it will shut off appetite. I lost about 15lbs initially without restricting calories because I wanted to keep calories up to lift heavy in the gym. I practically had to force feed myself.
That's like saying, "Isnt the telephone pole ultimately responsible for the drunk driver dying?"
Can I use benefited or do s it have carbs
I have been following a low carb diet for one year and lost 60 pounds. I’m pretty much at the weight I should be and plan to eat this way forever but how do you stop losing weight. Should I start to add carbs? I’m not diabetic.
Some carbs like broccoli , sparragus, cabbage w.bacon , things like that , cucumbers, probably some sweet potato on moderation , hope to at any help.
Dr Westman’s book describes phase 1 (the equivalent of “page 4” in this presentation), phase 2, and phase 3. You start on phase 1. After you reach your goals (In your case the weight loss you have enjoyed) then you can transition to phase 2. It relaxes the strictness of how much carbohydrate you can have per day. After you have been on phase 2 for awhile, and if everything is going great still, you can transition to phase 3. Phase three relaxes the carbohydrate restrictions even more. It is only for people who are already healthy and doing great or have achieved a state of good health by first following phase 1, then phase 2. If you find you are starting to have problems again after changing to phase 3 or phase 2, go back down to phase you were on while everything was great. I suggest you get his book. You sound ready to advance to the next phase.
His book is called “end your carb confusion”. There are both hard copy, and electronic (like kindle) versions of it. Also there is an audio version on audible. I don’t get a commission for recommending his book, but I have it and I think it is very helpful. It is intentionally written to be very simple to follow. It’s not complex at all. I sincerely hope for the best for you. Sounds like you’ ve already been doing great! I hope you have a healthy and enjoyable life!
I.m convinced.. 20g carbs page 4. I.ve got gall bladder problems.. stones. Worried about problems digesting all the fat allowed? Please advice. Thankyou
Keep researching and experimenting what works for you bc when you calculate your macros you don't have to reach the fat #, The less dietary fat you have the more fat your body will burn from stores. Consuming the fat helps with satiety. Ex..my #is 160g a day..im satisfied at about 120g-130g the difference my body may need for the day comes off my bum ☺...Good luck
Try to find a keto doctor and ask their office. Diet Doctor.com has a list of doctors who like keto.
He forgot the deep fried foods are now fried in PUFA oils which are not so good. When I worked in BK they used hydrogenated cotton seed oil. Now I know that is bad not just for the PUFA but also for the high levels of herbicides and pesticides. Of they used tallow, that would be fine, but I don't think anyone uses tallow anymore.
6:15 ... many of the medications people take are to treat the foods they eat, this is a cautionary note....
Can I get a copy of page 4? I live in the UK and have type 2 diabetes for over 10 years.
I got mine off Pinterest. Search Dr. Eric Westman page 4 printable. :)
Also, I got mine by typing 'Dr Westman page 4' into Google (I'm in Buckinghamshire 😊).
Ps: I started following Dr Westman's keto (page 4) on 15/11/18 - today is 24/06/19. I've lost 67lbs and reversed T2D! Good luck!!! 🍀
careful, that list is a bit off on somethings. grapefruit is NOT really keto friendly. half of one has like 11 grams of carbs. berries are ur fruit friend, and even those should be limited to a small handful a day.
Royston Clark the nhs has just changed its policy and now recommends a low carb diet for type 2 diabetics. Your doctor should find out from national institute of clinical excellence. All the best.
Where does one obtain the handout with the page 4 in it?

i made a sign, i choose to not eat carbs, i Can eat fat....unlearning 30 years of advise
Thank you Dr. Westman
What about keto bark 3 net carbs, has erytherol?
Exercise is not that effective for weight loss but you need it to tone your muscles and bones and stamina.
Agree. Exercise is an inefficient method for weight loss, but great for all around health.
Robert Jones yes and no. I've been doing a brisk walk 5 days a week and it has absolutely accelerated my weight loss and has improved my feeling of well being as I was pretty much house bound. 🤗
@@paulhocking9694
It might have improved how you feel but the weight loss is minimal thru exercise. You also improved your cardio and bone or muscle tone for sure.
vegans are idiots well why do people go to the gym and do cardio and the machine shows how many calories they have burned? Genuine question not trying to be argumentive. I'm 62 years old, female, and haven't exercised for 20 years. I'm obese and have T2 diabetes. Any advice is appreciated. Doing pretty good on Keto. ❤️
@@paulhocking9694
It's ok if you don't want to argue but you can google articles which tells you why exercise is not effective for weight loss.
❤being in ketosis❤
"I'm not having carbonation" is funny, but I think it also reveals how our minds trick ourselves. You are a doctor, high position, esteemed, well paid. You don't have to spend as much effort as someone lower down the social hierarchy explaining to yourself 'that everything is really okay.' I'm an annoying guy, but trust me, when I went out to dinner with the family I would be put on the spot, why don't you drink? why don't you want to eat the sausage? why do you exercise so much? why aren't you this or that? My students think I'm flat out lying because they can't imagine an adult who doesn't either drink alcohol or smoke weed. She wants to change, but probably almost everyone in her life just wants her to do what they do, what she's always done.
Me? I'm annoying, I will say to my family, students, friends, "No, thanks," and I will pay, and have paid, a steep social cost. (They don't want us to be diabetics who have strokes and heart attacks, but they also don't want us doing anything that might challenge what they've always done. )
I'm transitioning to a LCHF diet, so I'm still eating some of this and that, but I'm doing daily 16 hour fasts, and they're not that difficult, and I have keto mouth, so I'm onboard. But I found some videos that say eating canola oil is bad, okay. Olive oil, not much better--really? I accept what I've learned about LCHF because I've done some of it and it clearly works, and the videos I've seen and articles I've read make sense . But the people talking about the oils, they titter in a way that reminds me of group-think, (like cults). I don't think LCHF is a fad or a cult, but the people talking about the oils have three problems: first, they show that as meat consumption when down, diabetes went up (and they titter), that's correlation is not causation, second, they mention all the terrible things that happen to oil when it's processed and heated up. Well, a barbecue is basically a fractionating tower at a refinery--and they never say don't burn your meat. And third, they don't offer clear alternatives, except red meat and lard. Butter, I already understand.
So the lady who's cut out the soda but is still drinking orange juice, give her an alternative.
Butter tea? I remember reading about Tibetans drinking bitter greasy butter tea. Sounded awful. I was in Yunnan Province in China, I'd just done a twenty mile hike, very little food. I arrived back in Lijiang and thought I'll try the Tibetan restaurant Mama Lus. Butter tea? Sure, I'll try it. It was terrific.
I'll bet if you tell that nice lady, I want you to drink one of three things: water, butter coffee or butter tea-- that's it. Then send her home with a recipe for butter tea/coffee. Tell her to make a cup as soon as she gets home. She will never even look at another soda and she'll serve it to her family and friends. No doesn't work. Our brains under stress only hear positives: give her a 'yes' and she'll do it.
Wonderful post. The Tibetan butter tea is a longtime staple for me.
is plain black iced tea keto?? I have asked a bunch of folk and no one seems to know
Yes.👍
What if you just want to fix diabetes but not loose weight .. bc you are already thin.. pls help .. ty
Rain M look up Dr Caryn Zinn she has a website and is on you tube and other social media
I'm not a medical expert, but if you are skin, your body won't get too thin on this eating plan. Lots of slim people and professional athletes eat a ketogenic diet, they eat it to be healthy and to improve their athletic abilities.
You will only lose weight that needs to be lost. Ie. if you have excess body fat, then your body will use that
Do you know Eric Westman's name is spelled wrong on your opening screen?!? It's ERIC WESTMAN (not Erik)! I wanted to recommend this video to my diabetic friends, but I will NOT share a video with such an egregious misspelling!
How do I get an appt with you? Dr. Eric westman
Yes, how can I get an appointment? I have Dysautonomia as well and recently stated PAD.
I have stage 2 nsclc and severe microscopic colitis and rampant candida. I’m trying to Gain weight not lose. How can I gain weight on the Keto or Paleo diet. Down to 88.5 from 115. No dr has helped me. Please if you have information regarding post a reply..
Yvonne Norton ketogenic diet is a fat burning diet not weight loss diet (unless someone has excess fat stored). You would need to eat adequate protein for building muscle which is the kind of weight you really want to gain. Then eat as much dietary fat as you need for energy.
I would say start using hydrocortisone for the obesigenic effect, but you have candidosis.
Does rice trigger your issues?
Why can we only have up to 4 oz of cheese every day on the keto diet as Dr. Westman mentioned around 45 minutes in?
TheUnseenTruth Thank you for your feedback.
I think maybe part of that is also because if you are trying to lose weight, it is high in fat plus some people can't tolerate a lot of dairy. Hope that helps!
Your gut Flora changes to one that may not be dairy friendly. Happened to me caused constipation. Eliminated dairy constipation got better. Just now trying an A2 dairy to see if I can handle it. A2 goat or sheep cheese.
Very well done! Succinct.
It's too bad it has to get to the point at which people need such a drastic intervention. I don't have diabetes nor even pre-diabetes but I have cut nearly all sugar and most flour, as well as seed oils and ultra-processed snack foods as I have aged. I have even cut my beloved legumes and whole rye. I guess if I had developed diabetes, I might be sorry for my old indulgences, but the thought of having gone through life never having had sweets, bread, or fruits is a little depressing. Most of the overeating I have done in my life has NOT been when I was hungry. But for the people whose genetics makes them especially susceptible, I'm glad there is a non-prescription remedy. I wish my affected family members were willing to get on board. I know someone will call me a bleeding heart liberal or the like when I say it's sad what pigs have to go through so that a diabetic can eat all the bacon she wants. It is one of the cruelest meat industries out there.
is there a print out of 'page4'?
I took a picture of page 4 with my iPhone when Dr. Westman had it on the overhead. I can enlarge it.
Are eggs ok for diabetics? I have heard various comments on this topic...........
Nothing wrong with eggs, they have no sugar.
Eggs are fine eat the yolks runny or wet as possible the nutrition is in the yolk don't over cook them.
I’ll eat egg whites

If I have to count the fibre also then I can't eat my avocados any more :(
you dont have to count your fibre, you just got to use total carbs only and not net carbs. You can have avocado, but just count the carbs thats all
Avocados are on page 4
His southern accent. Lol!!
Mmmm I love fruit, so treat myself to a very thin slice with each meal - mostly omad.
I am hoping its not throwing me off the bus !!!!
Eleda I have an orange approx 3 times a week, 10g carb., which only leaves me 10g for some greens with my meat for dinner. (I try for OMAD 3-4 days a week). To me it's worth it and even if I have 25 g carb some days, it's not the end of the world. I'm still losing a good amount of weight and bringing my blood sugars down (t2). If we get soooo strict to the point of ridiculous, we will probably chuck it in. 😩. Just be sensible and you will be fine. 🤗
@@paulhocking9694 it all depends on what your system can tolerate and still stay in a ketogenic state. You can test this with a ketone breath tester.
Michael Edwards Yes I understand what you're saying Michael, however, I don't worry if I'm in ketosis or not. I do a less restrictive Keto, a bit more protein and a bit less fat, under 20g carbs most days even with my fruit and I've lost 25 pounds in 3 months and BSL from 10 fasting to 6. Maybe if even stricter I could have lost more but as you said everyone is different. I think I will stay on Keto long term without being so restrictive. I believe in IF which I do, mainly for pancreas healing etc bc I've been uncontrolled diabetic for 20 years eating a crappy diet. Thanks for your point of view. 🤗
@@paulhocking9694 y ou are probably eating calories below your BMR so will still lose weight and improve overall health without going hardcore..well done I know how it feels to see those kilos and HBa1 levels drop- my doctore got a shock after my 4 months of low carb lifestyle- halved my prescription drugs for type 2 diabetes- blood pressure etc, my HbA1 is back to pre diabetic and bordering on normal.after 14 years of type 2 diabetes because i was too stubborn and lazy to do anything about it.
hapeta24 yes I hear you. For twenty years my diabetes has been doing me enormous damage but I wanted all the sugary crap and carbs more than I valued my life. How crazy is that. Well I've been given a second chance and am giving it my all although I don't find Keto easy and after 4 months I still crave all the junk, go figure. Hard to break 62 years of eating that way. 😩. You have done amazing, I love to hear others stories. Thankyou and all the best. 🤗
If you have problems with your stomach and some fool doctor told you that you have a lot of acid in your stomach and recommends some form of stomach acid potion that will lower the acid. You will be in a world of hurt, in fact most of the problems were due to low stomach acid, which means you are not digesting your foods, and you could also possibly have a stomach ulcer, because low stomach acid allows bad bacteria to flourish. Milk of magnesia lowers stomach acid and there are many side effects that are troubling. Not having a go at the Doctor his advice is sound but for me the milk of magnesia would have me on the floor screaming in pain.
Easiest way to get rid of heart burn is the juice of half a Lemon In a glas of water. Drink it and the heart burn will go away. worked for me and i was sceduled for surgery already. 5 years later no more problems. Oh and dont wait with the drinking until your throat hurts. Take it earlier when you first notice the burning.

I bet someone comes up with ketogenic bread soon. OR TRIES TO.
Toni there are some great easy low carb bread recipes on Pinterest . The on I make is only 1-2g per slice. In West Aust a company is making bread called “fat and seedy loaf”. Delicious toasted and only about 2g carb per slice
@@jetpt1 The trouble is, I have a thing with any carbs. The true keto says you shouldn't even eat a carot or peas so, to me a slice of bread is definately out of the question. It's the sort of thing you can't just have one of, so I wouldn't start it.
Toni sure, everyone is different. The one I make has eggs, almond meal, psyllium husks, apple cider vinegar so follows Keto well. So dense and filling you can’t eat more than one slice, unlike white fluffy bread full of carbs where you can eat half a loaf! I’ve been on Keto 2 years now and healthiest I’ve ever been. All the best on your Keto journey
@@jetpt1 Have you found a keto doctor that agrees with a keto bread?
Toni lots of sites on line. Dr berg is a good one. Depends where you are at with Keto. Dr westman deals with obesity clients so doesn’t do alternatives though he did mention diet jelly and cream if craving desserts. I find it helps people to get into Keto if they know there is a healthy low carb option for bread etc. more likely to stay with it.
