After 2.5yrs of following my GPs and the diabetic australia advice I still failed to reduce my A1c or maintain any meaningful weightloss, i was miserable all the time trying to follow the dietary guidelines. In 4 months of keto and intermittent fasting I got to my ideal weight range and normalised my a1c.. I'm off all meds and my energy is off the charts.. my GP YELLED at me for doing something so dangerous even though my blood work is excellent. The kicker is my GP is more overweight than I was at my heaviest.. I've since changed GPs :D

These doctors including Dr Jason Fung convinced me after 25 years of being T2D to quit my three diabetic drugs and my blood pressure drugs and I fasted 24hours and then went on the Keto diet it’s now been 8 weeks and I’ve lost 30lbs without trying blood sugar has never had a high peak except a little over Christmas Day and blood pressure has dropped dramatically. By speaking out and posting these lectures we can make informed decisions about our lifestyles and get healthy again. Thank you so much and at 80 years old I’ve never been fitter in fact I still have a class 1 Aviation medical. I also sleep 7.5 hours without waking up except when the cat jumps onto the bed. This relief from diabetes has been one of the greatest gifts to the human race and it’s free.

I would love to send this video to my doctors who were at a loss to explain my huge visceral fat increase and high blood pressure. I returned a year later after finding low carb 65 lb lighter and normal blood pressure he just looked at me and asked me to tell everyone in the waiting room what I had done.

36 years on low fat, plant based, calorie restricted diet, I could NOT get below 155 pounds-much money spent, much exercise exerted. 6 months on high animal fat, moderate protein, less than 20 grams/day of carbohydrates and I fell to my high school weight of 125 and have stabilized for 8 MONTHS! Effortlessly and happily. Love my 🍳🥩🧈🥓 and daily walk of 15 to 30 minutes, my joyful mood and joint flexibility (inflammation and pain all gone) plus my liver dumping it’s fat. I eat for energy, not for entertainment.

There are only two reasons for obesity: sloth and gluttony. I should know. I have been called a lazy pig my entire life. Funny, I switched to intermittent fasting, stopped worrying about dietary fat, and reduced processed carbohydrates. I have lost 53 kg to date without feeling hungry. I was never a lazy pig. I was following the wrong advice.

This is one of the best doctors on the subject, in my opinion. Thank you Dr. Paul Mason!!!

Never seen a presentation as good as this in my 2 years low carb journey , thank you doc

I’ll take advice from this guy any day. He looks like he practices what he preaches and the results don’t lie.

Paul is the picture of health- how a doctor OUGHT to look.

Probably the best presentation on the subject that I have seen. Highly recommended. Thanks.

Blimey! I had to check the date for the video, thinking it was an old one... Paul's getting younger! 😀

Fantastic presentation. I had skin tags and my doctor did not know what the were. 20 years of gaining weight. I've abandoned all doctors that do not have this knowledge.

I tell people Keto is 'easy', you just have to not eat 95% of what's sold in the supermarket. I've lost 58 pounds in 6 months.

He is right, lost 80 pounds in six months, feel great, I cut meds in half and reversed diabetes and still losing easily.

Began keto for the pre-diabetes (6.1 US measure and now 5.1 which is normal) and stayed for the other benefits (improved sleep, loss of acid reflux, more energy, clear skin). 2 years now, still enjoying the food too.

Love Dr. Mason's video for its sharp and straight-to- the- point messages! It has consolidated my understanding of the causes and effects of insulin resistance. Thanks so much!

Beautifully expressed with utter clarity! Paul, brilliant young man! Thank you for your expertise. Up with Keto

Thank you Dr. Mason! I would consider this presentation a perfect presentation because it does two things that are very important. Number one, it articulates and visually demonstrates a very easily comprehensible primer about the efficacy of low carb diets, and the biochemical mechanisms behind it. This is an ideal presentation for me to send to people who are unfamiliar with the therapeutic benefits of low carb. Number two, if offers relatively new information, that even people who are well versed in the science of low carb, have not been introduced to - namely how a low carb diet can mitigate the destructive effects of seed oil consumption. I have been listening to low carb lectures for years, and this is the first I have heard of this. Very few presentations within the health space can appeal to both newbies to a dietary protocol, as well as seasoned veterans. Keep up the great work Dr. Mason!

I've watched this three times now and it is so good. Thank you Doctor Mason.

This is a great presentation. Not that his others were not. I will be back to referencing Dr Mason as much as I reference Dr. Jason Fung. again.. Almost a year since I started to fix myself. Made it to my absolute dream weight in 5 months. Blood work went from borderline to fantastic, along with vital signs and fitness levels. Fixing insulin resistance not only helps metabolic syndromes, but improves fitness and every day life.

When I go to a super market, all I see is carbohydrates, everywhere is full of junk food. They are not cheap either.

I followed the heart associations recommendation for eating, and it took 12 years of being labeled “irritable bowel “ to discover that margarine was my poison. Canola oil, and it is in so many food products, disguised as “other vegetable oil”. After listening to this I feel this is the cause of my diabetic state as I never had a sweet tooth, never added sugar to anything, ate low fat and never added salt, also tried to avoid processed food. I was shocked when my doctor said you are pre diabetic!

I am in mid fifties and weighed 325 lbs, three months ago after bloodwork my doc called in a panic as my AC1 was 13 and my blood sugar was 400. I felt like crap and found out I was in ketoacidosis...He prescribed metformin and said i probably needed insulin. I refused the meds and Immediately went on keto diet and have lost 40 pounds in two months...it is just melting off and I am not even exercising regularly....and I have more energy than I have had in 15 years. My fasting blood sugar is down to the high 90's and my post meal sugar has gone from 400 to 140..it gets lower every week. I finally feel like I understand my body for the first time in my life. These videos are great!

I now want to move from Norway to Australia and get Dr. Paul Mason as my doctor, what a brilliant mind he has and fantastic way to explain difficult medical processes so even I can understand it. Has he written a book yet? If not then I hope he will soon, I will be the first in line to buy it.

I had the most disgusting skin tags under my arms. Been on Keto for 6 weeks, lost 12lbs and the skin tags have nearly gone! Oh, and I feel better than I've felt in decades. Works for me.

Probably the simplest and shortest video summarising why keto and low carb is good for health.

Great talk. Also, when you heat pufas, like when deep frying, then breakdown into nasty, aldehydes. So, French fries, chips etc cooked in sunflower oil are directly toxic as well as high carb, caloric and insulin inducing. Quadruple the problem.

Dr. Paul: Great presentation.

One of the most informative videos I’ve seen lately. I’ve been double checking facts and just wanted to say “THANKS!” for opening my eyes to a number of things like skin tags, etc.

I watch this video whenever I want to eat cake or any other kinds of sweets

Thank you, Dr. Paul Mason! I love your talks!! ❤️🤓

Thanks for the reassurance. I had read/watched videos about not worrying about high LDL before, but your comments about the BMJ article reviewing 19 studies has stopped my concern about my LDL going up to 4.8 last October and 5.4 this January and the doctor getting all worked up about it!! I said "I'm not worried" but secretly I was a little! I am doing a keto diet and have lost over 25kg so far. I have started using more saturated fat in my cooking.

Thank you for posting this video. It blows my mind to learn how WRONG is the info we've been given in the past!!

i wish i would have seen this years ago. thank you very much you changed my life.

Perdí más de 30 kilos con keto mi primer año. Sin rebotes, es sostenible. Me siento genial! Siempre satisfecho ;). Hoy es mi dia 450!

I feel so sad for all the people who are stuck in the old paradigm. A few weeks ago an overweight person told me I could better put the full fat cottage cheese back and get the zero (low) fat one, or I would end up like him. He shook his head and told me I was stupid when I told him about LCHF in a nutshell. I am lean and athletic, but that didn't convince him. So sad....

Always learning something new on your seminars/presentations. Melatonin problably is a good explanation why sleep is so important, if you are sick or not. THANK YOU!

So glad I found this gem in KZfaq. Doctors usually think they know more than their patients but at the end YOU have to protect yourself by doing your own research.

Dr Mason, this is an outstanding presentation, well done, keep up the good work.

I look forward to everyone of your talks, everything is so well researched and explained...PS...LOOKING GOOD DOC!!!

Thank you for posting this LCDU. Over time the root cause(s) of western illnesses will be well understood. Fortunately we can change our own diets and the progressive evidence is that the LCHF diet has positive health benefits.

THANK you Dr.,for explaining WHY and HOW these things happen. Many do not give enough explanation. Understanding makes it so much easier to follow. You're hard work is appreciated!

when i go to supermarket, i get irritated that almost all products displayed have carbs in them, myabe except meat.

A great summary of the current science. Well done Paul Mason . Beautifully explained and illustrated

Keto turns the conventional food pyramid upside down. How did docs get it so wrong... for so long!

thankyou Paul I learn something more everytime you share!

I combine Intermittent fasting or OMAD with Keto. Helps me control my hunger.

Paul Mason - brilliant presentation full of so much useful information. Thanks. 👍

Absolutely great presentation. I love it. Even if to confide that I knew it all and stay long on the Ketogenic diet with heavy aerobic exercises, I enjoyed it a lot. Meanwhile school books are zombifing kids to eat low fat diets and number of them already suffering from obesity is staggering.

Watching your channel has saved my life. It really has. Used to be type two diabetic, now nothing. Happy to go days without food and lots of water and nutrients. It’s easy.

So I am a sucker ,, geek for these vidoes, I can listen to these all day long, and I even love the technical details, specially what's happening inside the fat cells due to the action of HSL hormone , I want that lol

this should be made mandatory viewing for all general practioners!.....in last Sundays newspaper in Sydney, we had nutritionists rate numerous diets. The Keto diet scored 1/10 and was rated the worse diet and advised people that it was potentially dangerous and a fad.. So why is that?...are most doctors and nutritionists clueless halfwits? I don't need a stinkin unversity degreee to work out my crappy western diet was killing me. So I changed it!...Keto for life!.....and thank you Dr Paul Mason for this video.....So what chance does the general public have when we have dopes as doctors?

Thank you Dr. Paul for such a brilliant presentation. Great honest information backed by science.

It worked for me! Reversed T2D, reversed Sleep Apnea, no more GERD, no more neuropathy, and so much more! Cutting the carbs has been a life changer!! #nocarbsnation

Who else is here wishing America taught you the metric system...? Love this video!

Excellent presentation. I love his calmness. I can't think about this stuff with getting really angry. There are millions and millions still being mistreated by our medical establishment. Don't get me started on the American Diabetes Association, American Heart Association, and American Dietetic Association - Criminal, really.

I'm glad for Dr. T. People like her are a great example of the benefit of perseverance.

LDL also inactivates Staph Aureus, which is another reason not to lower it. Uffe Ravenskov, one of the authors of the last study Dr. Mason displayed, told me about it years ago and I couldn't believe it. But he was right. This was an amazing video. I started a low-carb diet a few weeks ago and my triglycerides went from 438 to 150. It works.

Well done, Dr. Mason !!!

Fatastic! It's the perfect amount of science to substantiate the benefits of a low carb diet, without losing the average person, so many could benefit from this presentation. As a carnivore, I'm testing the waters with family and friends for receptivity of my new choices (3 months in). I've sent a couple of videos without a positive reaction, so far. However, when the time is right, this video is at the top of the list to send to them. Thank you very much, Dr. Mason!

I am on week 2 on keto diet. I love it. After one week, I lost 6lbs. I want to do this until the summer.

Another great video!! Thank you.

Low carb and calorie restriction made weight control super easy for me. And i feel much better all the time.

Thank you again Dr. Paul !! great video!

Thanks "Dr P" - succinct and educational. 😊

Excellent as usual.

I was doing pretty good on keto and lost 20 lbs- but I plateaued. I was still drinking a little alcohol and eating some processed food/ vegetable oils - though not always on purpose. There's a lot of hidden vegetable and nut seed oils, and emulsifiers. I cut those out by being more careful about reading labels on food. I've found you really have to be careful. And I just quit all alcohol I've also started being more strict about following Keto and have finally started losing the last 15 pounds. I'm down 5 lbs in and I've got 10 more lbs to go.

Our health has become shit after they told us pork fat was bad for us.

Wow, one of the best (and very visual) presentations on how insulin stimulates fat storage that I've seen.

Excellent Podcast 🙂👍

This is your best (so far) video that I've watched. Thank you so much for all of this great information. :)

Another great video by Dr Paul Mason, explains in detail how fat is accumulated into fat cells by doing a SAD (in reality super High Carb diet). Low carb is the solution for most deseases. Many thanks doctor for all the valuable information provided in your videos!

Fantastic Talk! Thank you... you just saved my life!

I love his speeches

I use keto because I have epilepsy and love eating keto. I weigh what I weighed in college.

Your explanations are a great refresher on biochemistry from my med school days but with more interesting & sensible explanations. Love the literature references on your slides also. Keep up the great work. Any thoughts on the concept of resistant starches?

Love this guy and his clarity and research. Also on unrelated note he looks a little like Steve Smith 🏏

KEY TO (Keto) : HOME COOKED MEAL is key to your health/weight success. Just start by the small things if you're too far from what is considered "healthy" STOP EATING OUT. STOP EATING PRE-PACKAGED FOODS STOP EATING SWEETS

Thanks. Brilliant. Thanks for the info.

I started his recipe almost 2 years ago. It's helped tremendously. One of my "go-tos" is a shake with 8oz hemp milk, 4 tbsp heavy cream, 1 scoop keto powder (keto science), 1 scoop MCT power, a tsp of Creatinine and an 1/8 tsp lions main. 50g fat, 2 g carb and I belive 15g protein. Add a can of sardines with skin and bones and that's a hell of a meal.

Doc has been killing it in the bicep curls apparently

Again Amazing talk supported with a real patient testimonial and all supportive evidence Let Aline the method Dr Paul Mason is a connoisseur in relaying his knowledge 💚❤️🥰

Great presentation -- thanks!

An excellent video. Very good presentation. A Must Seen!

Very well put together and up to date. Some of us have been hearing this for years. Thank you.

This is one of those presentations that really make an impact.

Brilliant. Thank you for sharing this very important information. Take care, & Happy Christmas to you & yours. ❤🙂🐶⛄🎅🎄

There is big money in Big Oil and... Big Sugar!

Dr. Paul! You make great content. Kindly make a video on why some people can't put on weight despite normal eating and being healthy. Also put some light on rate of metabolism and its relation to three body types Endomorph, Ectomorph and Mesomorph IF they are relevant to the topic.

I'm very happy to know there are so many doctors, and scientists out there who are taking a different and holistic approach by look into food and diets to help everyone than just resort to managing the disease through medications ignoring the side effects of the med.

Awesome video. Thanks! Doc.

Another excellent presentation. Thank you, once again, for the information.

Incredible Paul Mason Lecture, Gratitude

I'm sold! Thanks Dr.

Much relief after going through this stuff. Stress no doubt affects my blood sugar levels kzfaq.infoUgkx6Cu3qDh3FB7umUbfXaU7hDAHrqvwQyNk Taking a walk usually help bring them down. Eating sweets is not my favorite, but if i take a large portion of them, my blood sugar level rises high. I think it's the high concentration of the glucose flowing into the bloodstream all at once. This is a lesson worth taking note of. This is a great material to learn from.

I love Dr. Mason for its straight, easy to understand way of explaining highly sophisticated biological and medical terms to a normal audience. He is also pretty handsome and from that shirt you can not notice his fit body. Love this guy! Love his work. My only problem that I have now, after I have switched to keto-carnivore diet, is my hystamine intolerance. I had irritable bowel syndrome, which is said to be correlated with the low production of insufficient production of one of the enzymes responsible with the degradation of the histamines. After switching I have ate a lot of histamine containing foods, such as sauerkraut, yogurt, sour cream, matured meats and cheese. And now, after dark, my skin gets inflamed with eczemas resembling those of food allergies. This only happens at night time and early in the morning. During the day, they dissapear. The flares are making me nuts. Any of you here have encountered this problem? I have tried to limit every single food to the point of eating only meat and fats. Any idea of how long it will take me to cure myself? Thanks!

Well said.

Greetings from Ireland,easily the best video on the subject,much appreciated!

Hi Dr.Mason . I'm making an enquiry as to whether pancreatitis can be reversed with either the Ketogenic or carnivore diet . I have had a huge successful on keto and now mostly carnivore myself with weight loss and recommended you and carbs down under for a friend . We live on the MORNINGTON PENINSULA in VICTORIA. Thanks for the great work you are doing in providing education for those

Great info, Thank you
