⁠@@allenbrost9564not necessarily. It just means that your GLP1 reaction is depressed. So if you stay carnivore it will probably be no problem. But, if you then splurge and eat a double helping of the triple decker chocolate sugar bomb - your body will have a suppressed insulin response and your blood sugar will spike. As for living in a state of lowered insulin is good or bad…. Dr. Cywes states he doesn’t know. One thing I have observed as a 2yr carnivore: my insulin sensitivity is very high. So if insulin is suppressed but sensitivity is very high is there a detriment to low insulin; versus higher insulin but less sensitivity? At 54 I have my strength by 2.5x while on carnivore, so growth does not seem to be a problem on low insulin levels.

Ben Bikman has said he prefers the term "adaptive glucose sparing" not physiological insulin resistance when one takes in a very low amount of carbs or no carbs. He says true physiological insulin resistance is when one going through puberty or pregnant. He has talked about after 16 hours of fasting the body dumps its reserve of insulin (1st phase response). Which is why a carnivore would see their glucose shoot up dramatically when consuming carbs in addition to the state of adaptive glucose sparing. Then the body kicks in insulin production to deal with the rise in glucose(2nd phase response).

Dr Cywes, want to share a recent experience. Been low carb carnivore for 7 months then shifted to full carnivore now almost 3 months but also in that time felt extreme low energy, so was prompted to buy glucose meter which showed blood glucose never dropping below 120. Then learned HBA1c was 5.9 and some kidney tests were high because of high protein intake. Also urine constantly dark in color. Then I came across studies on the effects of hydrogen water on diabetes, so I place one drop of food grade H2O2 in 20 oz of water. Low and behold urine is close to clear and showed some ketone levels whereas they were always nil. Now I found your channel and so trying to figure out where I am on the insulin spectrum. Almost 3 months since last blood work, will go from there and continue to follow your studies My self perception is that glucose is in my blood but not getting to where it needs to be hence severe low energy while not losing belly fat. I feel like I'm dying at times and when I do get active, am out of breath and recovery can take a week. It's all so confusing

Dr Cywes, thank you for addressing insulin suppression. I have been on a keto diet for several years. Over the last couple of years I have had to exercise to bring my blood sugar down after meals. My fasting glucose has steadily risen. Yesterday, I decided to try your suggestion about drinking milk. This morning my fasting glucose was 137. One hour after drinking a glass of milk with some heavy cream it dropped to 95. For the first time in a long time my body cleared blood sugar without exercise! Again, thank you, God used you to answer my prayers.

I have been carnivore for a few years now and was running out of energy every day like clock work around 5 PM. I started adding a handful of blueberries and a couple strawberries some days and other days I eat a small sweet potatoe. The results are a steady energy level all day and actually have to force myself to go to bed. Also, my cramping has subsided to being almost nonexistent. BTW, I do not ever crave carbs/sugar, I do not have an addiction problem with anything. Addiction doesn't happen (IMO) if you convince yourself life is much better without whatever you are addicted to. Just like being fat for 99% of us, it's simply a choice. I saw an interview with Dr. Chaffee the other day and he said the carnivore/keto diet is used to fix what is broken in the body. Once the body is fixed your body is able to once again process what you eat the correct way. If you continue with just carnivore/keto only it can eventually break the body again. This is where the science is now, just as this video mentions. Yes I get frustrated with all the changes but at the same time am very happy to see all the studies that both verify our new way of life and point out what needs to be added/changed.

@allenbrost9564 3 ай бұрын

I agree with everything you said. For me being 99% carnivore for an extended time I started to see my morning fasting glucose be over 100 quite often, which made no sense to me (insulin suppression). I was also cramping like crazy, legs, abs, everything, it was terrible. Adding a few carbs back in has helped the cramping big time. Also blood sugar seems better. Everything still all good. A1C is 4.8 and fasting insulin is 2.9. 10% of your calories from carbs seems like a good thing. BTW, my carbs are raw milk, fruit or honey. Once is a while some potatoes, but that's rare.

Wow, I love all the research you and Ben and others are doing and the questions you are asking in response to certain bloodwork markers. I am diabetic II, 64 years old, and having a tough time dropping weight. I followed the mainstream doctors advice for two years and things got worse. Then I started doing research. Found a lot of fake BS but then found people like yourself, Ben Bikman, Ken Berry, Sten Eckberg, Dr Thomas, David Diamond, and many others. Sometimes it can be very confusing. i am not a doctor but do consider myself intelligent. In college, I took a liking to statistics and research, especially ones based on good science, double blind studies, etc. That is why I started questioning the trends in mainstream medicine in conjuntion with the food industry, big pharma, I think in a perfect world where no one is obese, metabolic flexibility is the norm. I mean, even from an evolutionary perspective, our posture, bone structure, even our teeth are built for metabolic flexibilty, eating both natural meats, vegies, and to some degree, dairy. But we live in a different age of excess, pollution, preservatives , chemicals, advertising, psychological, cultural and social influences that greatly effect/affect our health. All contribute. My hell, some food corps are selling chemical processed items that can't even be considered food just to make a buck.... For me, well, I think low carb, fasting, exercise, separating and eating good carbs and fat/proteins at different meals. Good carbs like certain nuts, berries, seeds, etc. Cut out sugar, highly processed foods, oils. I don't think anyone has all the answers but we all work together to put many of the pieces of the puzzle together to form the best possible perspective of the problems we face. I cannot thank you and the others enough for your efforts and sharing your knowledge to the world. You can't imagine how great ful we are for everything you do. Sorry for the long story just thought you would like to know... We are watching and listening.

@AbuMaxime 3 ай бұрын

Im trying to fully understand the argument. So, insulin plays many other important roles other than glucose regulation, so in principle a state where insulin is always low all the time is not ideal. Insulin response to protein only is necessarily very low, because insulin inhibits neoglucogenesis. Neoglucogenesis, generation of glucose from proteins, is essential in this case because it sustains blood glucose levels in absence of dietary carbohydrates. Proteins are then turned into glucose and triglycerides, and blood glucose rises. Without insulin, there is no regulation of neoglucogenesis, and Dr Cywes observes cases of hyperglycemia in strictly carnivore patients, a condition (" insulin suppression ") similar to diabetes except than insulin is very low. He advocates the regular consumption of milk in order to trigger insulin response and reduce blood glucose. Am i getting it (more or less) right? What I'm not sure to understand in this picture is why, when glucose rises as a result of neoglucogenesis, the elevated blood glucose doesn't in turn trigger insulin response? A sort of negative feedback.

@Mr-hn2bp Ай бұрын

Correct spelling is GLUCONEOGENESIS. It's the conversation of amino acids and fat into glucose. Breaking down glycogen to glucose is not glucoNEOgenesis. When blood glucose is low, glucagon is released by the alpha cells of the pancreas triggering glycogen break down and release into blood in the liver. glucoNEOgenesis is minimal in this case. When we are under stress, the adrenals release stress hormones cortisol and epinephrine big time. Stress hormones rapidly increase blood glucose. Chronic systemic inflammation has the same effect.

Estrogen receptors in the brain play a crucial role in various functions, including mood regulation, cognition, and memory. They help modulate neurotransmitter activity and synaptic plasticity, contributing to overall brain health and function. In the brain, the primary estrogen involved is estradiol, which is the most potent and prevalent form of estrogen in the body. It binds to estrogen receptors in the brain and influences various neurological processes.

Dr. Cywes I am carnivore with some dairy. I train powerlifting 7 days a week and I include a 4-5k run after each lifting session (total 1.5-2hrs exercise per day). My hypothesis is that my insulin needs are less because of zero carb intake and high amount of physical activity. My body is not occupied with lowering glucose due to carb intake. Therefore, I produce proper levels during gluconeogenesis. And, I hypothesize that this is healthy.

I was eating no more then 1500 cal perhaps 2000 which is just enough to keep my system going. How can a few bananas and 1 sandwich give me 5kg of extra fat /weight in 1.5 week. I also told my doctors that my change in dieet triggerd the flare up offcourse this was not true and my brain needed glucose. clearly my tolerance for certain foods is changed and going to far overboard for me is a disaster.

YES this is exactly why I got into keto carnivore last year, because parts of my metabolic system were being over/under stressed* by eating the standard western diet. Now that I've offset my lifetime of eating too many carbs too frequently, with a year of strict keto, I'll eat some fruit now and then to keep all of my molecular machinery active and ready. Not that I mix my carbs and fats like saladino, I separate my metabolism cycles with a small fast. Due to concerns of stressing the randal cycle.

Female 41, healthy overall. Started carnivore 6 months ago; went cold turkey. Quit everything. Felt immediate improvements on immune reactions and digestive symptoms however felt low energy and fatigue, especially muscle. Decided to eat a few squares of black swiss chocolate with hazelnuts. Lindt. Wow!! Incredible improvements!! I felt more alert, had more endurance, more resistance, felt happier. I am lean and don’t struggle with overweight, at all - if anything, im thin. So for me it’s done deal: 50 -70 gr of dark chocolate per day, 25 ish at breakfast and another portion in the afternoon. It’s a game changer. I don’t plan of stopping. I tried allulose but it bloats me terribly! :( also, can’t tolerate milk nor dairy. My only carb is chocolate 🍫

Dr. Cywes, I wonder about the estrogen thing. Women need extra estrogen in their child birthing years. It is obviously a requisite for growing babies. Their estrogen levels drop in menopause and it creates havoc in a body geared for higher levels of estrogen. However, women typically (statistically) live longer than men. Is high estrogen detrimental to long life so the body cuts estrogen production once out of the reproductive years? Is estrogen replacement good or bad for length of life? As you said, so fascinating, so many questions.

Will share my reply to your email for public interested. Must say... not sold yet... and pretty obvious how we could test your Oreo Vs Statin theory, but I think your hypothesis might be insufficient ;)... Rob, thanks for the kind words. I must admit I remain skeptical about the pattern you're observing: the en mass transition of LMHR phenotype to a hyper-triglyceridemic phenotype. A while back you mentioned this and offered to share the dataset with Dave, Adrian and I (cced), but I don’t believe we ever saw those data, nor have I seen anything like these “insulin suppression lipid changes.” If you’d like to share or publish, I’d be interested because it’s not something we’re seeing. So one needs to wonder why until the findings are confirmed or data are accessible to those in this group. Or, personal question... if we want to focus in on an example, how come my TG remains sub 50 even though I’ve had Carbs as ~2% kCal for 5 years? When will I become hyperTG? FWIW, My insulin is ~3, even after 16 Days of Oreos. If you want to Rx me some glargine or GLP1-RA or just ship it, you know I'd do a 3rd arm, but I don't think you're going to see a 71% LDL-C drop. There are no literature to my awareness that postprandial insulin responses could impact LDL-C levels to such a degree in a manner independent of the LEM and hepatic glycogen stores. So, again, I think "insulin suppression" is insufficient to explain the results I'm seeing that are better explained by other physiology. Around 7 minutes you talk about hyperTG because of increased intake of “excess lean protein.” Not sure why the emphasis is on "lean protein" or who here is advocating for a PE style carnivore diet. I certainly am not. Let Ted keep his Whey-coated boiled chicken breast TYVM. Personally, I don’t see a strong case here for pathological insulin suppression at this timeIf you publish/share data, I’m happy to re-evaluate. If you have access, I’d like to see what insulin response curves you have on keto-adapted patients challenged with proteins or carbs. Glucagon/insulin ratio and GLP-1 responses would be even better, if you’ve really done all those tests. From how you speak, it sounds like you have those data. Otherwise, there are a lot of assumptions built into this insulin suppression idea. A few small correction points: - Low-carb diets actually increase GLP-1 (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/22669333/) - Proteins can increase GLP-1, including Whey. Also allulose, which is largely non-caloric, in a manner that appears to involve the Vagus nerve. Topic for another time.

Dr. Cywes , if you are not already familiar with her work, I think you would enjoy the work of Lisa Mosconi, a neuroscientist who talks about menopause being a neurologically active state. She discusses how the ovaries and brain communicate with each other every day of a woman’s life. And the 30% decrease in brain energy that often happens to women after menopause. She also believes this is an important reason why Alzheimer’s is much more common in women.

Please, Allow me to ask a couple of question about the Carnivore diet(i need some advice in my unsuccessful Carnivore diet experience): I am now over 120 days into a Strick Carnivore diet (I only eat meat and eggs. Nothing else 400-500 g of cocked meat plus 7-8 eggs a day. Divided in 2 meals) I am now 34 years old, 181cms tall, 180lbs(+-81,5kg) at +-20%BF. I go to the gym 2-3 times a week.(lift weigths to help sustain or increase muscle mass and assist fat loss) I started the Carnivore diet to improve my body composition. I was a HEALHTY guy with NO chronic illnesses or health problems. I lost about 17 lbs in the first 6 weeks (Mostly water) but since then I haven't been able to change my body composition. I have now gone more than 6 weeks without registering any body changes (weight loss, decrease in BF% or measurements).In fact i have gained 2,5 lbs in the last 3 weeks but might be just water. I still need to lose at least another 15lbs of fat to reach my goal of being below 15%BF. However, I don't see how the Carnivora Diet will facilitate this process. I have not experienced most of the benefits common to Carnivores (Improved sleep, more energy/disposition, etc.) nor can I change my body composition. So I would like to ask more experienced Carnivores: 1- How long should I extend my experience with the Carnviroa diet to be able to lose the excess bodyfat I still have?(at least 15lbs of fat) 2- What is the minimum time you should maintain a Carnivora diet when it is not working for you? 3-Is the Carnivore diet effective for those who are aldreay healthy and just need to improve body composition? I am affraid this way of eating is too restrictive, for a healthy person, with no aditional benefit from any other whole food diet.! Thank you for your attention!

I've been carnivore for over like 18 months. My sleep & energy hasn't changed noticeably, but both were fine before I started. I lost some non-water weight, about 10 lbs, but some subcutaneous fat is persisting. I'm fairly slender. Especially compared to most everyone else. I'm 6'4" 205 lbs. I probably could reduce calories and lose more obvious fat, but I'm thinking that my body is telling me that I'm actually more healthy with this amount of fat than less. My body seems to really want to hold onto some fat. Probably that's my genetics talking which allowed my ancestors to survive. Before culture perverted us to think that basically zero fat Speedo smooth was preferable. How do you know that you should lose 15 more pounds? Or do you just have a waiting Speedo telling you that? Maybe you actually would be better off losing more subcutaneous fat. But how would you know that? If there's not excessive visceral fat, I would think that the job is at least 95% done. If not 100% already. But never take health advice from some average Joe on the internet.😂
