Have you done an abdominal ultrasound? I also reversed my T2D but still have mild fatty liver & highish Apo-B…trying to tackle those now.

Good job. Yes, I was morbidly obese, it took me one year to become normal range weight and now I'm six months into sustaining it. I think I was fortunate never to have type 2 diebetes, but my friend is overweight and has type 2. I've told him that recent evidence shows that most can beat it like you have by simply losing twenty to thirty pounds, but he replied " everyone says something different. Eat less fat, eat less sugar, eat less grains!", he then does nothing. What ya gonna do.

Congratulations, Newme55 Newme55. Al Gore Rhythm...funny.

@@arvidlystnur4827 that’s proof of what you told him. Any form of dietary restriction tends to lead to weight loss. That’s the common denominator of all those diets. Explain that to him.

​@@arvidlystnur4827 Congratulations on your success, too! I certainly can appreciate your friend's point of view, regarding all the differing opinions about diet. I've been there, too. Originally, I knew nothing about diet and just ate whatever I wanted. Most of it was fast food, high-fat foods, loads of calories, and processed foods like chips, sodas, etc. Not surprisingly, I was overweight. Then, I started reading about "health" and bought a couple of books by "experts" on the topic. I traded some processed foods for different processed products (protein drink mixes, fake meats, etc.) and my weight stayed about the same. Years later, I heard about The Primal Blueprint and that led me through the various associated camps and their buzzwords (Paleo, Low-Carb, Weston A. Price, Ancestral, Low-Carb High-Fat, etc.) and I learned even more. While following different permutations of the aforementioned diets, my weight stayed about the same. Next, I learned about vegetarianism, veganism, fruitarianism, intermittent fasting, high-carb low-fat, and such. Now, I had even more information! Then, Keto and Carnivore came along. In these camps, I only dabbled a bit. My weight? Unchanged. Now, after some 25 years, I've learned so much about so many things, I'm convinced I know nothing about anything. And, my weight remains about the same.

Sounds about right.

If you want your health back enough sustainability shouldnt really be an issue but thats just me

All hail the algorithm!! 🦾🦾🦾🦾

I wonder does the algorithm know when we comment just for the algorithm. Someone's on my roof...oh God.. they're here...

Same

AYAYA!!!

What is flexible dieting? Can you tell me how you do it?

@user-ej6oc5hy9w The way I did it to lose weight is to get 230g of protein and keep the calories under 2500. Was 280 when I started and I'm currently 220. Took me about 10 months.

If only more people would be as open as you to opposing data what knowledge we could all acquire. All this overselling on the internet of any preferred or hated diet only feeds knowledge to algorithms.

Why low carb? Control the carbs. When do you need them and why?? Problem is people have no idea what the body does with the food you put in your mouth..all they wanna do is talk cals in vs out which is the stupidest thing ever invented. You cannot put a numerical value on the way a food effects the body specifically hormones

@@ThingsYoudontwanttohear Well put. I love the "feeding knowledge to algorithms" line.

@@quix99 I understand that there is data out there that conflicts with your preferred diet, but this does not mean the laws of thermodynamics do not apply to your body, nor does it mean that hormones do not matter, nor does it mean your diet is poisonous. The problem (imo) is that people are convinced they know what the body does with the food they put in their mouths and stop listening to opposing data. PS: I have no clue why, but your comment does not show properly. This happens often these days I noticed.

@@alphacause I appreciate the love! 🙂

Dr Berg and Dr Ekberg are both chiropractors, Layne is a PhD in Nutritional Sciences with a degree in Biochemistry. Those other doctors have no business producing most of the videos they do....

@@MichaelGGarry what about dr bickman, or dr fung?? Heres a fact…controlling insulin is what the main goal is. Not a calorie..a fake number on energy. If you what insulin is, how it works, combine that with a knowledge of glucagon..you can make bette choices. These are things Layne doesnt speak of. Bottom line is this…when eating too much carbs, and have contant circulating levels of high insulin, we fuck ourselves up. Reverse that, we get better. Pretty much commonsense

@@quix99 Wrong. Not commonsense

@@tomas2035 you are right..most people read too much into this when in fact its pretty simplistic. Each macronutrient has en effect on the body, when you understand that, you can change body composition at will. The start of assigning a numerical value on a macro is the start of stupidity in nutrition. Wanna fix your life, and health? Dont eat shit not found in nature. Its very simple…

@@quix99 Dr Fung is a kidney specialist. Dr Bickman I have never heard of. Fungs nonsense has been debunked already. You seem to have swallowed the Keto BS fully....

Yeah it's not like the keto warriors want to blame hormones and macronutrients for laziness

The keto and weght loss would defo work together to get those numbers down. Have a friend who recently got diagnosed type 2 ,litterally 5 weeks on keto and i.f. and his blood work is nearly normal

I always feel like crap after eating bread, rice or pasta so I skip those.

More to the point, the studies rarely state what the people who cite them claim they state. Note that Layne pointed out that the researchers of the meta-analysis concluded no significant benefits attributable to the low-carb diet but he was pointed to this research by people who believed it does. The point he makes about reading more than the excerpt cannot be overstated, and this is especially true in the Internet-knowledge-driven world we live in where bite-sized pieces of information shared rapidly are blindly held to be true by their recipients. Nearly every time when somebody's thrown a research "source" at me during a discussion, reading their own source led to the conclusion that it doesn't say what they claim it says. Because they didn't read it, they just got a quote from it.

What helped you with the acne? Lowering the carbs?

"Gotta watch a couple more times" me too 😅

That makes so much sense! Thanks for sharing!

Same. 15% down to 5%. Started out low carb, but now I eat moderate carb from healthy sources. Have you checked your ApoB & liver fat? Those are two issues that i’m dealing with post T2D reversal…

Highest satiating index is potatoes. 😉

@@PSA78 So some really do assert. I have not found it to be so.

How many grams of fat do you consume on average a day by your best estimate? I ask because, usually anyway, intracellular fat plays a significant role in the rate at which insulin (injected or otherwise) can drop bloodsugars back to normal.

@@ash9259 I eat around 100 grams Fat minimum per day.

This, I think it is important. I read somewhere that certain low level of fat % you can suffer depression or some other type of change in mood, it might be true, or not.

Imho 10-15%, especially at the higher range, is attainable and mantainable for (most) people. 10-12% is aesthetically pleasing. Everything in that range is healthy. Anything under 20% is probably similar health wise though if you don’t care about aesthetics. It’s sub 10% where things get weird for many people

If you are a natural bodybuilder ready to go on stage, then your testosterone will probably not be that high. 🙂 I agree, a breakdown would be interesting, but it's a lot of other variables (genetic, training, diet, sleep, age, gender etc) that makes it practically difficult to use the information, so testing is the easiest way to figure it out. 🙂

@@PSA78 i agree. Everyone is different. I tend to keep a relatively low bodyfat with visible sixpack year round without craving more food. So i guess it is healthy for me. But i still wonder if there is an optimal body fat for the same individual at least. Or if it is (like Jeb!Bush said) a range and it doesn´t matter as long as you are in that range.

@@Schaufelor I believe on stastical level when they can use BMI, then I believe men should aim for ~9-20. Around 25 is when there might show some negative effects, at least if a lot of other things are working against you. Women can typically have a little bit more, maybe for a couple of reasons (one is that they tend to store more fat bellow the waist). I believe some research suggested that older people might also be able to have a couple of percent more without issues. If you're starving your body then it's likely turning of less essential functions, and when you start getting insulin sensitivity you'll have different hormones fighting each other (I'm sure there's a scientific word and a better explanation for it 😂).

Please eat fibre

CGM’s for everyone!!!😃😃😃

This would be T2D, people with T1D usually have pretty good control over their diet.

All food causes blood sugar to raise.

@@Melesniannon some more than others…

@@blainebowling3303 If taken in isolation foods have different blood sugar responses yes. What's your point? It doesn't change anything for diabetics.

Same here, no magic...just breakfast skipping

Do you think low- carb doesnt help with diabetis?

@@rijokripto3633 not being fat helps with diabetes....

Weight loss increases insulin sensitivity regardless of diet type.

No, only because g.i. is flawed since it was studied in isolation which most people eat these carbs in meals with protein and fats that change the digestion rate and glucose/insulin spike. That being said, what carbs effect an individual will be different within individuals so you'd be right in your thinking but it isn't across the board

You can also limit fat to get the same outcome

Why would low carb cause high cortisol? It shouldn’t do that, I’ve done low carb with zero cortisol issues

Track your weight and calories. I haven't read it but Layne has a good book on sustainable weight loss.

Assuming sarcasm?
