just one more short video/blog you may want to check out. http://drhyman.com/blog/2017/08/03/work-doctor-get-need/?utm_source=Newsletter&utm_campaign=c03ff922a7-EMAIL_CAMPAIGN_2017_05_04&utm_medium=email&utm_term=0_07a277e311-c03ff922a7-107394313&mc_cid=c03ff922a7&mc_eid=b8eb311872

Counting is great as long as you aren't counting very high. I could have counted my carbs before....500, 600, 700....

My current LCHF friendly doc is one of my sources. I think it was Dr Feinman who mentioned in an interview as well. The only link I have for sure is this one from Dr Nally: https://www.docmuscles.com/ketosis-part-xii-thyroid/ There are links in this so maybe you can find some additional back up in those. I kind of assumed…

Invokana is part of a class of drug that sounds like a better alternative for T2D. It basically prevents re-absorption of glucose so that you pee it out. In theory, this sounds better than other options which lower BG by increasing insulin. However, this also can cause a cascade of events which can lead to diabetic…

you want to reach over and shake the people at the other table in a restaurant because they are cutting the fat off their steak and LEAVING IT ON THE PLATE!!!!!! DON'T THEY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE MISSING?!?!?!?!?!?!

This is very individual. My suggestion if you want to know for sure is to buy a glucometer and experiment with timing, amount and type of carb. Metabolically healthy people and those who are very active can get away with more. Timing still varies though. There are a growing number of high endurance athletes who are keto…

With all the great tasting LCHF foods, I am not sure why anyone would eat/drink anything that doesn't taste good. If you decide you want to continue drinking grass, there are lots of recipe site links in the Launch Pad for this group, some of which will include smoothie options.

Speaking as one who lived by the motto of "I will work out as much as I have to in order to eat what I want, when I want and how much I want," I will say I find little value in tracking exercise when it comes to weight management. I have been maintaining weight at where I was back in when I played 9th grade football in…

I have learned that I should have gotten a whole lot more testing done up front. Fortunately, I am getting a fair amount of testing on an ongoing basis, which is helpful. It is also important to work with a doc who understands LCHF. For instance, thyroid function can go down on a keto diet, but that does not necessarily…

Thank you for this. Here is a link to the free full text version: http://www.onlinejacc.org/content/accj/66/15/1657.full.pdf I was had a bit of an argument with my dad this weekend who was prescribed and is taking a statin because his total cholesterol hit 200. He is about to turn 71. His trigs are low and HDL is high and…

Not knowing how much potassium is in each pill, I have heard too much can cause nausea. That is just a guess that maybe you took too much.

Thought I should look up the link to the podcast I just referenced. Obviously, the keto part is just a small part of the conversation. I just thought it was cool she gets it and explains why it would be helpful. https://www.ihmc.us/stemtalk/episode-16/

I regularly listen to this podcast. There are several good ones you may be interested in. There is even one from last year talking to a lady who was one of the original NASA scientists who thinks keto is one option to reduce negative physiological effects of zero gravity.

Yessiree. And I'm still trying to figure out mine. Given my diet, my insulin sensitivity, my above average ability to process both fructose and glucose and the fact I am not overweight yet still can't get my BG down is frustrating. Clearly my liver thinks GNG is its primary purpose. It is low enough to be considered "well…

Two things - First that Kresser article is from 2010. One thing he is good at is keeping up with newer research, so I am not sure that entirely matches where he is now. Second, I think I am agreeing with you in that it is saying that it is not once size fits all in terms of how diabetics should eat. Some may have great…

It is good to hear you are starting this. It will not affect weight loss, however, it will improve your health. In reality, I think that is what you are interested in improving. Anyway, here are my suggestions and disclaimers. I am not a personal trainer. The vast majority of what I know is based on n=1 experiments and…

My highest readings are ALWAYS after working out. I work out fasted in the morning or sometimes after BPC only. If my FBG is say 100, post workout will be between 125 and 155 depending on how strenuous the workout was. Cardio seems to raise it more than weight training. My highest post cardio was 176. Generally it comes…

If you are losing weight, part of your fat macros is body fat, which it sounds like you are doing quite successfully. Drinking straight EVOO won't kill you, but you shouldn't need to do it. Avoid really lean meat like skinless chicken breast and use oils when cooking any hitting the right macros shouldn't be too hard.…

Just posted this on FB. I don't use FB much, but this seemed like something worth sharing.

Regarding testosterone, statins have been shown to lower it. This makes sense given cholesterol is required for the production of almost all, if not all hormones. This endless push to get cholesterol lower without scientific reason is causing huge problems. Don't tell me the incidence of low T and e.d. skyrocketing at the…

I sat through 2 days of meetings on this trip knowing lunch would be carbage so I ate an actual breakfast and just skipped lunch with no problem. Meanwhile there were others in the room fretting about how they are struggling to drop a few pounds but are starving and couldn't go more than a couple hours without cramming…

I am in Toronto for the first time since 2011 and had 2 people tell me I look younger now than I did then. BTW coconut oil really is a better moisturizer than anything i have used before. Just be aware a little goes a long way.

When looking at stats, you have to look at trends. Of course there is waste, however, the percentage of waste is going to be fairly consistent, so charts like this one still paint a true picture. So when the government tells people to eat less red meat, they clearly are and as a result are eating those wonderful grains and…

when your wife is irritated at how many shirts you have ruined with grease stains.

By this I can only assume you mean "eat less and move more" and "eat plenty of healthy whole grains" and "replace butter with margarine" and "replace saturated fat with vegetable oil" and "a calorie is a calorie" etc. Following that advice is what has caused the problem. If you look at the government's own stats, red meat…

You have to rinse them really well first. Thrive has a rice version - still called Miracle Noodles - that I use fairly regularly. One thing that helps, at least with the rice ones, is to heat them in a pan dry over medium/high heat until they dry out. It seems to help them absorb the flavor of the other foods with which…

Much of the fasting research regarding things like the 5/2 fast (eat 5 days then fast 2) and alternate day fasting actually use 500 calories on the "fast" days. Here is an interview with one of the experts on fasting that you may find useful: https://www.ihmc.us/stemtalk/episode007/ I know Jason Fung gets referenced a ton…

I have found if I keep my electrolytes in line - especially magnesium and sodium - I don't have issues regarding regularity. That said, when eating far less carbs, there is less to be excreted. When you go, that is not really your waste, but rather the waste of the bacteria in your gut and some of that bacteria itself. The…
