OMG, the background music in that clip!

I feel like I have read all the books and watching that second movie will just be an audio/visual treatment of that information.

Yeah. I too feel like, for me, it would be redundant.
Though if someone hasn't been all in, out, and around this stuff like us ol' timers, it might be a good jumpstart to get them up to speed.

HELP!!!
This AM I weighed and measured myself for weekly progress after a 7 day turnout and it seems that I gained 4 lbs and only lost .5 inches from my arms , all other measurements remain the same... That is so discouraging especially that I have still been eating low carbs ... I'm gonna keep at this but that scale really messed up my head !!!

Don’t mean to get so personal, but could you be getting near the time for your monthly visit from Mother Nature? Hormones play a humongous role in what the scale reads throughout the month! If your maintaining low carb, as you said, the scale will catch up once this fluctuation is done.

One rule I had to adopt when I began was to never allow the number on that scale to determine my food choices! Hang in there!

I, too, feel as though I've seen and read everything, but I still feel compelled to watch the new stuff anyway.

I want to watch them. Unfortunately I never have the time to do that since I started homeschooling the 4th kid. He is high-maintenance!

@FIT_Goat and @baconslave

It will be redundant to most of us but there will be a few new faces on the low carb scene in it. Like Dr Drew, who has a huge following. So it’ll bring this info to a lot of people for the first time, all condensed and well presented. There is also supposed to be a brief story about the family making the documentary Let Me Be 83, which is about their journey with their T1D child and how they implemented Dr Richard Bernstein’s methods to finally gain control of the boys blood sugar and health.
It’ll be a great synopsis of all the info it took us a couple years to learn.

Couldn't agree more. That's what I meant to convey if that didn't come through.
I saw Dr. Drew in the clip. Isn't that something? I'm curious to know how he wandered over on our side of the fence.

The creator of the movie FAT is Vinnie Tortorich who is a recurring guest on the Adam Corolla podcast, which Dr Drew is often on as well. Vinnie talks about NSNG, No Sugar No Grains and Dr Drew had been sort of not buying it for a years until he began to hear more and more from other sources and he tried it and loved it. Was sold! Now he’s actually carnivore!!!
He talks about it briefly in this podcast

I watched 'what the health' several weeks back. Also thought the phone calls rather funny. What kind of answers was he expecting from reception (or basically just the person who takes the calls). It was very pro vegan and most of the ''science'' wasn't factual. There were some valid points, like the treatment and processing of animals. I'm already very familiar with it since I did an animal management course which covered welfare, rights and laws of animals. But if I remember correctly, the program didn't go over pasture raised organic animals or places with better practices in the slaughter, processing and distribution of animal products.

There's been issues with some vegan dieters lately on youtube at least, where they aren't being honest about their health. One I remember spent a lot of money going doctor to doctor trying to figure out why eating gave intense stomach pain. Kept getting same answers to change diet, but this wasn't the answer they wanted, so on. It was I think 5 years before they actually heeded the advice and had some fish and eggs. Felt better within days of eating just that. So that really does bring into question that diet to be fair. Could be that it works for some and others just don't have the biology for it. Anyone on the vegan diet needs to pay attention to what their body is telling them if they are having issues.

I find if people are having issues with keto, there are plenty of fixes. Maybe you need more electrolytes or salt, not drinking enough, bit more carb allowance, cut out animal fats (like if you have hereditary cholesterol so plant and fish fats only would be better), etc... We at least listen to our bodies on this diet.

If I was on the vegan diet and had those issues, sure I may go to a doctor get some blood tests to see if I'm lacking in anything. Try supplements for what I may be missing. If that stuff didn't work I'd try going back to eating animal products for a bit. If issues resolved, then it's a case of is it something I was lacking in the vegan diet that the animals products contain that supplements aren't replicating? Or could it be to do with the larger amounts of plant produce I must consume to reach my calorie goals? In the latter case, eating more avocado, coconut and olive oil could solve the issue. But if not, I'd just have to accept my body wasn't designed for a vegan lifestyle and go another route to reaching my animal rights or eco friendly beliefs, such as pasture raised organic animal produce.

Being on keto, if for some reason it didn't work for me, I could move to low-carb or paleo. Increase the carbs but keep it wholefood. It has though, it's solved health issues such as migraines and I've never felt or looked healthier.

I feel I went on a bit of a ramble, sorry about that haha.
